Speaker 6: Yeah, I got excited. I was like, oh my.
Speaker 2: God, hey one second.
Speaker 3: Boom, okay, hello, people on YouTube who are catching this
recording on paused, baby yaby have fixed it.
Speaker 2: Had to tell everything, turn everything off and then put
it right back.
Speaker 3: Where it was.
Speaker 5: Fucking so real real, okay, they're liking and great technology.
Speaker 9: To console skip please yes, everybody.
Speaker 10: Dude, I clicked on it being like they did something wrong,
and then I'm just like repeating after you. So I
guess you can just click on someone's speech bubble and
then it does the thing that we do when people
say things wrong, or we do.
Speaker 11: The toads lonely to toad.
Speaker 3: That's like one of the proto memes, the earliest. Yeah,
just the year of leading up to that soccer con
of everyone being like, the joke is we do songs
but insert the word toad.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're so funny.
Speaker 13: I walk a lonely toad.
Speaker 3: It's the toad I know, and it is my toad.
Fucking to be young and reckless.
Speaker 8: Damn.
Speaker 14: That was a delightful soccer confer so many reasons.
Speaker 3: Okay, true, okay, let's let's let's get our energy realigned.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 3: We are welcome back to that nineteen not vestige of
Fucus Gilgan's grave, Session seventeen, that one what had a
capy bar a few sessions ago. That's the name of
this session, the one what had a cappy barra a
few sessions ago. Today we are going to be rolling
a die and then the die is going to tell
me who's gonna tell me what happened last time? Here
we go.
Speaker 5: Who's it gonna be. It's gonna be.
Speaker 6: Brandon, Thank God God.
Speaker 14: Uh okay, Skurrink has tried to follow a seemingly undead
similar to his other booth thing looking lady couldn't follow her.
He finally decided to meet all of us and we
went to the BBTA. We got that all iron job,
we got paid, we have we're we're heavy and coin
now we're I guess less.
Speaker 13: So now because we went in, we.
Speaker 14: Went to the quarry, had a very frustrating conversation with
the goblin bane of my existence, I think damn. We
found out that Laurie's rock was indeed broken and then
fixed and then broken again. I was. I was able
to get one paradot which I can use one time
for one spell, but it's gonna be pog when I do.
Uh as, I'm literally pogging now.
Speaker 13: And what out.
Speaker 14: We went to the church Cara Grash.
Speaker 15: We Cara Grash, Cara Grash.
Speaker 3: We went to the.
Speaker 16: Jesus Chara Grashuh.
Speaker 14: We went and we interrogated Lunea's other sister. We found basically,
we found out there were three triplets here that were
tied in to the past of the pit, and Scar
was around them as well, and it was a whole thing.
And so we interrogated Landa's poor sister, who seemed very stressed.
Speaker 15: Outs then when.
Speaker 14: Moo theis moon, Yes, it's very pretty, and then we
punctificated on the ramifications of what she had to say.
Speaker 13: And I think that's all we got up to last session.
Speaker 3: I'm really scared to ask this question. I'm gonna turn
a thing up. Uh h hm, can you guys hear
that water? Thank you good.
Speaker 13: I was so scared you had a question for me.
Speaker 3: No, I was realized. I was like, did the ambience
thing also fuck up? And I realized that I think
a bunch of my audio settings just reset to default
is what happened.
Speaker 14: There's there's happening with audio because like everyone I've talked
to you someways had stream audio problems.
Speaker 3: Well it's not a stream thing so much as it's
my own internal routing. But I won't I won't linger
on it too too much.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I digress, it's fixed, it works.
Speaker 3: I just had to make sure you guys could hear
that too. Just you know, two I could so I
could put on, you know, my favorite track, Cave with Water.
Speaker 6: Hell yeah.
Speaker 14: Also totally getting to do one of the recapsitude sessions in.
Speaker 3: You did very good.
Speaker 13: Okay, I'm seeing how far I could go without it.
Speaker 5: Switch us over this taboo.
Speaker 3: Oh, cave with water, my oldest friend. Okay, calm down,
Cape with Water, all right, everybody, So we are coming
back into things, uh with you guys having just gone
to the Temple of the Moon Rabbit. You guys just
went and you interrogated the somewhat coy confusing sister of Leyuna,
one of the remaining two triplets. It's always upsetting to
hear there's two triplets. Never a good thing. Ever. We
are currently at time wise.
Speaker 2: It is currently Saturday, the twenty fourth of November of
the year seven fifty six of the second age. It's
roughly three issh in the afternoon. Just for everyone's.
Speaker 3: Edification the carnival and governor meeting and such that has
been sort of the next major jumping off point time
wise is not the next day, but the day after.
It's in two days. It's Saturday and it's on Monday.
Speaker 1: Huh okay, indeed, huh, So friends, one more time.
Speaker 3: God, that's it's in two days. It's not a to
Yesterday was Friday, and it will be happening on Monday.
Today is Saturday, and it will be correct. That is
the carnival, Run's madness, mung Rung's madness. The carnival is
technically on all the time, but this is a special
performance becausemung Rung is returning to his carnival. And when
he returns, he always brings some kind of special presentation,
usually up to some kind of large beast or or
some great foreign apparatus or something spectacular that's you know,
circus worthy. That'll be happening on Say with me, everybody, Monday, Monday.
Speaker 17: It's a Monday, on Saturday, Monday.
Speaker 4: Today's Saturday, on.
Speaker 18: Thursday, Monday, on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Countdown on your fingers with me to one Monday Tuesy
Monday Monday.
Speaker 3: See he gets it, he gets it. He understands.
Speaker 19: Right after school, so it on Wednesday.
Speaker 20: You can just knock go, you can just stay home
and not go. Frankly, think about you only need the urge. God,
I love that.
Speaker 21: I also love that the fucking thrope of like fucking
you'll have your whole seat but you only need.
Speaker 5: Urg They never said it correctly. They always stumbled through
the first few pardon real monster truck autistic as a kid.
Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: Love alrighty, So everybody, Uh so you guys are currently
in the the part of the pit where the temple is.
What would you guys like to do? Hand the reins
off to you. Good game.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep going to.
Speaker 3: Solid game, continuing on to to go to lands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, since, uh there's point of that where they lived.
Speaker 6: We split up at the end of the last game, right,
how do you split up?
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about what we were doing.
I don't think we had left yet.
Speaker 3: My understanding is we have the Lilia Scarn pocket, and
then everybody else is in the other pocket.
Speaker 14: Yes, but Scarn's in his own pocket. That kind of
seems out of pocket.
Speaker 15: Uh sorry, sorry, god, sorry.
Speaker 1: I remember they went off and I had a conversation,
and then we were screwing around for so long that
they re operated next.
Speaker 3: To us, right they did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm right. I was like, I just got back.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you are all together, we are all combined. Yes,
you are, m hm cool.
Speaker 4: Jee, I'm gonna land.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can come with, but I don't know
if it's going to be longer, like do you know,
I can't imagine they remember more?
Speaker 4: And what with them not remembering, I'm going.
Speaker 8: With going with.
Speaker 13: You don't mind about tagalo?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yes, totally. Act I mind so much.
Speaker 13: That's tough, all right?
Speaker 3: So then who is not going to layoness?
Speaker 5: Why not? I feel like going to lays?
Speaker 3: Oh shit, I get I get the sense that everybody's
going to lay all right.
Speaker 5: I'll tag on, I'll I'll join you pull my leg.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could pull your leg.
Speaker 5: You're so you can't You're so small, pretty sure, you're like.
Speaker 1: Calf muscle is most of my body.
Speaker 3: Real, Okay, So you guys would just hop on down
the cliff from the section of the pith that you're in,
and you would just walk on down the road turn
head towards the housing. So in the pit, the Karra
Goosh's Sanctuary pit, there's there are residential areas lining the
entirety of the pit. They are mostly those who are
actively serving or related to the temple in some way,
but some of them are also just you know, private
residences people that want to be close to the temple
of Chan Kara Goosh for one reason or another, or
maybe they inherited the house.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: People get houses lots of ways, unless you're in the
modern age, in which case you never get a house
at all because the economy is borked and we can
never expect to be homeowners in our lives. You guys
had to lay on his house. Who you, guys in
this fantasy world that is much better. You had to
the home of homeowner Layuna who could afford home and
has it paid off a dozen of a mortgage you
had toward you had towards their home. It's a relatively
it's not unlike Desmond's. It's a relatively quaint, minimalistic one,
but it is somewhat bigger. You do remember being told
that the sisters all lived together at one point, so
this is likely because it was a house that was
intended to be used by a full family of three
at least. As you guys approach this house, you see
the windows to it appear to be closed, nothing spectacular
about it, no gardens out front. You do you see
that there are some charms that are small symbols of
chan Karagosh that are hung off of places, like one
hung is above the door. Outside there's a couple hung
from the corners of the roof of like little bits
of awning that come out over the edge of the roof.
But again, this is a family heavily associated with the temple,
since two of them used to be priestesses of chan Karragosh,
so that does not shock anybody to see. As you
guys approach in what would you like to do? Chop chop?
Speaker 6: Listen, we're thinking.
Speaker 4: Waiting to do my silly knocks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, i'd say you're doing you're doing some knocks.
Now are you doing the knocks you just did? Are
you doing like more Desmond knocks?
Speaker 4: I'm Desmond knocks.
Speaker 1: I assume you're not going, like, finally my moment to
be a silly little guy, the all halfling knock.
Speaker 3: All right, Desmond, I would like you, because it's the
middle of the day, so who knows, I would like
you to please roll me a D one hundred.
Speaker 1: To determine the like all right of them now D
one hundred. I said roll low last time, and you
rolled a one hundred, so I'm going to repeat my request.
Just just between you and I D one hundred. Then
when I say low, I mean the exact opposite of
what happened last time.
Speaker 4: Please, Okay, it's fifty six. It's lowerer, but it couldn't
not be. So I'm not getting a for that.
Speaker 3: I because this is one of the most inconsequential roles
in fucking history. I'm going to roll a D one
hundred of my own, and if you got lower than mine, oh.
Speaker 4: You have a forty chance of getting this to save
the wall. It's totally entirely reasonable and acceptable. Lots of
someone being home, what do we cant do?
Speaker 3: I got a ninety six?
Speaker 6: Oh God?
Speaker 3: You knock at the door, and after a few moments
you hear stirring and movement from inside. It's not a lot.
It's just like the faint, suffocated sound of like a
dish being put down, of a chair moving across a
stone floor. After a moment, you hear the creaking of
wood as weight is put on the other side of
the door, and you'd hear just from the other side,
again suffocated but still fairly audible. Yes, who's out there,
it's me, Hi Desmond. Yeah, we hear the unlocking of
a door of a chain being moved and.
Speaker 4: Technically as.
Speaker 15: Hi, we're all here, the.
Speaker 4: Chains. The chain's put back.
Speaker 3: Hi, what has got big? I don't hang out with
more than two people at a time energy if I'm
gonna be real, but hecking me, it's me anyways, they
open the I wish it was me. They hope you
they do open the door, you're gonna throw the picture
up the fun. They open the door, and you do
see the the stark mannequin like white skin of the
Hattisland sister opening it, the light catching on the icy
horns on their head, the icy upturned horns. They're not
wearing their guard outfit there once again wearing casual clothing.
As they open it and they you, guys, see the
inside is relatively well lit. You see there is a
the dinner area is very exposed as the door opens,
and you see that there is a chair pulled up
to a table where there is a plate that looks
like there was probably food on it, and a closed
book with a bookmark has been placed beside it.
Speaker 4: She looks weird. We're seeing it. Not dressed in your uniform.
Speaker 3: I'm not quite ready to go back to work, I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's aside. People should take days off.
It's just normally that's the only time we really deal
with each other. Feels like how you know a lot
of the school children must feel when they see a
teacher anywhere other than the school.
Speaker 3: God, it's weird. I wasn't aware that you were all
back from the pits yet. I had heard some stirrings
that well from diving. I mean, I had heard some
news that someone had returned, and apparently I've caught a cold.
Speaker 5: I'll be fine. New medicine in there, I'll be, I'll be,
I'll be good.
Speaker 3: I get this says this is the way that talks
scars drop.
Speaker 4: By way.
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen you at my house before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know I lived this close to you. Actually,
it's weird.
Speaker 3: I tend to tell people where where we are. I
don't try any attention to my sisters.
Speaker 1: You got your address from your sister, really, I mean,
you're just talking to her a moment ago.
Speaker 3: So she's out today, then, uh.
Speaker 4: We're up at the thanctuary.
Speaker 3: I'm you kind of see she's been like leaning on
the door frame slightly. You see her grip on the
door frame noticeably. Tightens very subtly, But Desmond, you noticed
that it just they sort of grip it a little
bit harder. I'm suppose I'm glad that they're getting out.
We haven't talked much all that.
Speaker 5: Much lately.
Speaker 4: At all, or just in passing.
Speaker 3: I've been mostly quarantining ever since what happened with someone
disguising themselves as me went down. I've only been checking
in with people enough to make sure that people know
that I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna make that a bit worse, but summarize.
Speaker 4: We were talking to your sister because.
Speaker 1: Another doppelganger, not of you, specifically, more of your sister appeared.
We thought it might have been due to the proclivities
of our current quarries. Ah, they might have done something
to your sister, whose name you can't remember. Also, just
getting ahead of that, we know about that.
Speaker 3: Roll me, roll me in sight.
Speaker 4: Mm in side from Desmond. It's one of the things
I'm good at.
Speaker 3: Also, there are underground birds.
Speaker 4: Okay, why wouldn't they be birds?
Speaker 3: Underground birds are just because I put on an ambience
track that is nice, but it's got you birds and
bugs and I'm like, you know what you know? There
are people moving down here there?
Speaker 5: Birds, Well, there's the cave system where the opening is
right over there. Yeah, it's a few miles away. Birds
flying gas caves, the huge Yeah, birds fly into them.
Speaker 3: You don't, you don't whenever you say that, just continuous normal,
Nothing really stands out to you, but anything that happens continue.
Speaker 4: They're going to be.
Speaker 1: Probably observed by detail for a while. I imagine later today
as well, probably have another talk with some of the
people at h Q.
Speaker 3: What did she tell you about our sister?
Speaker 4: She told us the basics. The three of you arrived.
Speaker 1: At some point, they told us a bit about Sir.
I believe you called him, and they told us that
you neither you nor her do remember your other sister's name.
Speaker 3: It's unlike her to talk about him.
Speaker 1: If you have any information about him, he is one
of our key suspects.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's a person of interest. At the very least.
Speaker 1: There's been another body found or rather missing at this
point that someone fitting his description is directly connected to
and from the sounds of your sister's passing, the body
that had disappeared had much much as similar to mine. Sorry,
I'm really bad with all this. I'm trying to be
a bit too formal here. I think, Yeah, it's dudes
fucking weird and I need to know more about them.
Speaker 3: He should all come in then, cheap heads back indoor home.
You see there, You can see plainly there are not
nearly enough chairs or seating arrangements in general, for the
amount of people that are entered this home. There's a
grand total of maybe three places to sit in this place.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Floor, whoo, floor.
Speaker 5: I guess I'll just be on the floor as well.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 14: When when Pepford goes to come in, Uh, she's just
gonna like put Tabasco down and kind of psychically reach
out to him and maybe if Tabasco would like to
what Pepfer would like to ask is if he would
fly and within her one hundred foot like radius that
he can be within for her to tap in and
just be investigating the area.
Speaker 3: Okay, you know that when you're doing that, you can't
sense what's around.
Speaker 15: You, right, You.
Speaker 3: Like project your senses into the familiar and like you
can see through them, but you are like blinded and
deaf into everything around you during that time.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm not I'm not tapping in at this moment.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're just you just asking Tabasco to kind of
search the area. I just look around. Yeah, gotcha, Okay,
Tabasco could do that.
Speaker 19: Okay and beautiful.
Speaker 3: I should throw a Tabasco onto the.
Speaker 4: Under the thing.
Speaker 13: I could if I could, It doesn't matter.
Speaker 20: Now.
Speaker 13: The one sheet that I have for him is completely blank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happens every time it gets your set boom.
I wish there was a better system and Fantasy Ground's
four familiars and oh didn't mean to do that, although
I just learned that. I just learned that. If I
just learned, if I drop an asset into the chat,
it just shares with everybody. That's cool.
Speaker 2: I fucking he's perfect.
Speaker 3: Sorry, not that one, not that one, don't do that one,
do this one.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 14: Wall that said, Dros's tail makes it look like Tabasco's
little tail is a little pepper, And I feel like
that's important to point out.
Speaker 19: It's very important.
Speaker 3: The little pepper a little stinger.
Speaker 13: It looks like a pepper.
Speaker 3: So Tabasco's gonna fly around and do stuff. There you go,
you got the little gotta It gives out a little
like what gives it a little dragon salute, then flies
out and around.
Speaker 14: If anything dangerous, just come get us. There are windows
you can tap on, you know.
Speaker 13: All right, he's gone.
Speaker 3: Leona walks inside, takes the one chair that she had
been sitting in at her table, sort of spins it
around and bro sits on it, sits on it backwards,
leans on the other side of it, arms, cross rests
her chin on her crossed arms, and just looks to everybody.
This is a sensitive subject for me, that's certainly true.
But if it would help you with your investigation, I
won't hide anything, ask whatever anything.
Speaker 4: Do you have an actual name for mister sir?
Speaker 3: No, we haven't seen him in quite some time, and
I'm not sure how much my sister told you, But
we didn't realize how odd it was that we had
a benefactor during our lives like him until he was gone.
He was just such a.
Speaker 4: How to put it.
Speaker 3: He was a natural part of our lives from a
very young age, and we didn't realize that wasn't something
that everybody had until he stopped coming. By that time,
it didn't really occur to us to ask questions. And
if I'm going to be honest, he's given us so
much that by the time we realized he hadn't given
us his name through our entire lives, we thought it
only we thought it respectful to not pry that if
he had reason to not give us his name, then
we shouldn't ask. I can understand that, I realize how
that's causing issues now, and I apologize.
Speaker 4: There's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 13: Handset's twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there anything about him specifically that you need
to know.
Speaker 1: His affiliates he works, if he has any connections with
the Board of Governors.
Speaker 3: Not to my understanding, we only really knew him when
he came around. We initially thought him to be some
kind of wealthy noble or something from outside the Pits.
I know that my sisters thought that he must have
come from abroad, but given that he's a dark elf,
when I've eventually learned about their heritage, I thought it
is more natural that he must live somewhere around or
underneath the Pits. That said, even during my time working
with the BBTA and the UNDERTOW, I've never heard of
any local villas or any local housing underground that could
possibly suit someone like that. And if he's living with
the accommodations one would expect of dark elf nobility, We
would notice it. So where he comes that's a long
way to say. Where he comes from is as confusing
to us as is to you. We don't think that
he has anybody in town that he associates with. Whenever
he came here, he always came to visit us at
the House of Uplifting when we were children. Then helped
us to get our own home. This one he had
us sign it. He paid for it, but he had
waited until we came of age where we could legally
own housing, and then he kept his name off of
anything that had to be signed. He gave us an
amount of money so we could get on our feet,
would occasionally come and check in. And before that, at
the House of Uplifting, he would come and bring us
clothing and trinkets and tell us stories about far off lands,
but not necessarily once he's been to, just stories that
he had heard. I know that he's also gifted in
the ways of the arcane, not incredibly. In fact, I
think some of the bards that are here could probably
do better than what I saw from him. He liked
to entertain us using small little prestigitation acts, lighting fires
on the tips of his fingers, making cards disappear, moving
things from across the room. I don't know if those
are the extent of what he can do, but he
used to use those skills to entertain us when we
were children. He never seemed to be visiting anybody, never
seemed to know anybody else, and the people he associated with,
they always seem to act like he didn't exist after
he left.
Speaker 4: That little fellow other than him.
Speaker 1: Is there anyone you've ever met in a way that
Dame might take a special interest in you and your sisters.
Speaker 3: The three of us the gossip. Yeah, I was going
to say. We were born with the unfortunate circumstance of
everybody having something of a special interest in us. Luckily,
this far out people don't look at Hattisland too terribly
and we were able to integrate well. But three parentless
Hattisland triplets who seemed to be thriving without any obvious
reason to do so. I think a lot of people
and when we were children, tried to avoid the subject
of us being here. It's one of the reason why
we did what we did. We initially found shelter in
the Temple of chan Kara Gosh, my two sisters. They
drummed up a lot of positive rapport with the people
of the pits by offering their services there, and I
wanted to do what I could be a being a garden,
being a lawmaker, so I tried to elevate my reputation
by doing that. But sorry, that's not quite what you asked. No,
I don't recall anybody having a special interest in us,
not beyond the usual curiosities or fear.
Speaker 1: I am. I wasn't the most focused at the time.
But if a scarn, could you tell them the general
specifics of general specifics, you tell them the general outline
of what you saw down below with regards to the
headslan woman.
Speaker 5: Right so down below in the pits, when fighting against God,
tannas Stan staying.
Speaker 2: Fighting against God, I had the briefest moment of like, wow,
you won.
Speaker 5: Down when we were in the pits. In the pits,
we were fighting against Tannistein, but behind him there was
this had a slain woman kind of looked like your sister,
but maybe longer hair, I don't know, but she seemed
to be on a on a dragon.
Speaker 13: A school dragon to be a skull dragon.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I got you.
Speaker 15: I got you, James Card, I'm just feeling in the
planks here.
Speaker 6: You're doing good man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but down there I couldn't really pay too much
attention because she stared at me and felt like she
recognized me. I mean, the same thing happened with your sister,
so I'm not even I'm not sure. Yeah, oh m hm.
Speaker 3: They look at you intently there.
Speaker 5: This is what I wanted.
Speaker 3: Crystal blue eyes seemed to inspect every inch of you
for a for a long moment, and then on this
insight check, this wisdom check that I just had them roll,
they unfortunately roll the one. So they then they close
their eyes and like with a moment of frustration. I
don't know what they're seeing. You're you have dark elf blood,
so maybe they're associating with that, because we don't know
any other dark elves. But my sisters also and theis
is a bit Do you see their eyes darting as
they search for the word to describe, trying not to
find yes, well, they've ever since our sister died, they've
been trying to emulate them in some ways, and also
they've been a bit inconsistent their personality has been a
bit more unstable, I guess. Unfortunately, I haven't really known
how to deal with them all that well, So over
time we've just drifted apart. We still check in and
we're still good, but we've drifted apart somewhat. Some days
it's like there's nobody in there at all, and other
days they're bright and cheerful. I don't really know my
sister much anymore, but if I don't want to insinuate
that her grasp on reality is slipped. But ever since
our sister died and Sir stopped coming, she definitely has
started looking for signs of them in the world around them.
Early on, there were cases where when she saw me
out in the town doing my rounds, she would briefly
swear that she s our sister again, only for me
to later clarify that that was me. For a while,
she asked if Sir was ever going to come back,
and seemed to become obsessive about it, and then stopped suddenly.
So if she saw something in you, there might be
something there, but she may also just be looking for
what she wants to see.
Speaker 17: That is what we call a red flag.
Speaker 19: Big notes. What do they call a red flag.
Speaker 8: I'm taking notes a little.
Speaker 3: However, you say that there was a woman that was
working with the cult who resembled my sister, and there's
also somebody who's impersonating me. What's strange about that is
there's been no other instances where we know that my
image has been used to manipulate anybody within the undertoe. Well,
you've been gone. I've been checked in with people, everybody
that works under me, and I've been making sure that
all of their interactions with me have been ones I remember,
and all the critical ones were. I asked them if
there were any major orders that I'd given. I asked
them if there was anything that I had asked them
to do that seemed suspicious, and I remember everything that
they told me that they did. This doppelganger only seemed
to appear in that one instance where they were following you.
Speaker 1: Morlane was aware that we were sent to the hollow
yard where both your unnamed sister, along with several other
missing bodies had been taken. It was there that we
found the first piece that led us to him. Impossible
that through his communications, either Hedislan or whoever has taken
a special interest in you all simply learned that I
was a part of it, knew that we were relatively
closely together, and then used you to manipulate me.
Speaker 3: You won't got back sooner than I did, which means
that news that you got there got back quickly, quickly
enough that whoever this person is could disguise themselves as
me on less than a half of a day of notice,
if we're being realistic about the timeline, which tells me
that they either are incredibly proficient in the arcane or
they were very ready. Although the more I think about it,
to emulate she's sort of gestures to her horns and
her ears and her hair in order to emulate certain
aspects of me, there must have been some kind of
magic involved.
Speaker 4: But it would it would be unwise, I think, for
us to discount it.
Speaker 3: Yes, But then so, if they were trying to get
ahead of you, it makes sense why they would use
my form. But if we think that somebody's impersonating my
sister as well, and it's working with the cult, why
would they be in disguise as her whenever you are
just stumbling upon them. That disguise wouldn't have been useful
for where you were correct.
Speaker 4: Along with your.
Speaker 1: Mntheris, along with their personality shifts and swings, and their
occasional proclivity to disappear for several days, it's likely that
they're going to be watched by the undertow for a
while soon, as regardless current innocence or not, they'll be
perceived as guilty.
Speaker 3: That's probably for the best. So she told you about
our our lost sister.
Speaker 1: I presume that's amazingly specific their illness that even.
Speaker 3: The magics of the temple were unable to affect.
Speaker 5: And they.
Speaker 3: Told you that they'd been losing a grasp on their name.
Speaker 4: Ever since at that point.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what if they said anything else
after I had gotten but I felt like I was
being a bit aggressive. I suppose didn't want to continue
upsetting them.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe that's what she needs. Sometimes I can't bring
myself to ever really challenger way is word, I'm going
to push her over some kind of edge, So it's
good to hear that she took a bit of aggression
and didn't completely fall apart. Is there anything else I
might be able to help with. I'm staying off duty
until this all gets resolved. As much as i'd like
to return to work. I feel like I would only
complicate things and make a point of failure if I
started going back to work.
Speaker 4: Now understandable.
Speaker 1: I don't have any immediately pertinent questions.
Speaker 3: The rest of you.
Speaker 13: I'm trying to think of something. I'll let you know.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: You went up for a late night walk the other night.
Where were we going?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, what we're doing?
Speaker 3: I was just feeling a bit pent up, so I
decided to go for a walk, and then I came
back here to try to visit my sister and then
head home. Okay, so that was you, Yes, I saw you.
Speaker 5: That was me?
Speaker 12: Oh okay, why didn't you say hi?
Speaker 3: They give you the most characteristically anti social blink.
Speaker 5: They can manage.
Speaker 3: Just the most slow, prolonged eye contact, single blink, eyes closed,
too long, open again.
Speaker 22: Understood, Cool, We're we're nice like you could you do
what you want?
Speaker 3: It's fine, thanks, Lawrence, you're welcome.
Speaker 4: Hm, we'll get out of your hair.
Speaker 3: They yeah, their body you can tell pretty readily for
their body language. They're not like going to rush to
get rid of anybody. They're they're actually oddly relaxed. But
they seem like they're a bit distant. Through the entirety
of the conversation, they they genuinely you get the vibe
that they are genuinely trying to do what they can
to help. They just don't seem to have much more
to offer in terms of like what they know to say.
You guys, you're leaving, You're taking off. Everyone's going yeah,
uh so.
Speaker 14: Obviously I can't look through Tabasco and still be present,
but Tabasco should be able to telepathically communicate just small
ideas and stuff within five hundred one hundred feet.
Speaker 15: Five miles, five million feet.
Speaker 14: I say it confidently enough. Logan will believe, right, I
haven't gotten for anything, right, mm hmmm mm hmm, okay, cool, Yes,
we lieve Okay, Pepper, Pepper, Yes.
Speaker 3: As you were, as you guys are heading off, you do.
She's like, I am planning to take a little bit
of time off from all of this and enjoy the
festivities in a couple of days. I'll see what I
can look into in the meantime, and when I'm out
that day, I'll try to find you guys, and I'll
I guess report in on anything I can. If sir,
is that question then I'm going to go to the
House of Uplifting and I'm going to ask them there
if they remember anything about him. They were always really
dodgy when they talked about him, Like I said, they
basically acted like he didn't exist when you left. But
maybe that's for a lack of being directly asked. So
I'll report into you Desmond in a couple of days.
Speaker 4: Perfect. Yeah, let me know what you find.
Speaker 14: M h.
Speaker 3: Goodbye.
Speaker 5: Sorry to disturb.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was doing nothing, trust me.
Speaker 8: Enjoy the book you're reading.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: Maybe you could tell us about it sometime.
Speaker 5: Let's go, Thank you, sir. Grab your child in one
hand like a coke bottle.
Speaker 6: Maybe is it an adventure book?
Speaker 7: What kind of book is it?
Speaker 5: Up?
Speaker 8: Don't know what you like.
Speaker 3: I want to know what she likes, Lawrence.
Speaker 4: You are a baby.
Speaker 6: I am a baby.
Speaker 3: You are a baby. And this is like an early thirties,
late twenties woman. Leave them alone.
Speaker 2: I could just be told him like this, We could
just look up. We can be friendly when you shoul
the cards.
Speaker 6: Kiss Yeah, listen, it's not a try to kiss thing.
Speaker 21: It's that she doesn't want to be friends with me
and I'm taking that person.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're TJ. Dettweiler.
Speaker 12: I'm dragged out by scorn.
Speaker 4: Wait until we don't and bet you have to like
me then, But why not?
Speaker 12: Mad cool should be friends with me?
Speaker 14: The fuck You'll get there one day.
Speaker 1: You know. It's one of the closest things I have
to a work friend. And this is about as much
as we talk. If that gives you general contexts to
their social levels.
Speaker 21: So what you're saying is we're already friends.
Speaker 19: You want to see it that way, I am.
Speaker 4: Maybe I found a hot dog.
Speaker 15: I have those down here.
Speaker 9: I want a hot dog.
Speaker 5: You mean by foul right, never mind, Okay, it's a
hot dog.
Speaker 4: Rangers have their They're.
Speaker 17: A little rough, but I have our. Now I just
need to see any other they're a little bit rough.
But after some time, I have proper pub I have
proper sketches of Monferis and Leona. Now I just need
to see that other person one more time. I have
an accurate sketch, and then you can dare to compare
all three sisters, and I can point out why every
one of them has a red flag and fam way shape.
Speaker 19: Or form for dying.
Speaker 5: God damn it.
Speaker 4: Why Why would why? Why why must you ruin things?
Speaker 15: You think? I'm looking out for my.
Speaker 4: Best friend, but I don't have any red flags like reading.
Speaker 5: To their job.
Speaker 17: Yeah, she right now has the least red flags compared
to Monpharis.
Speaker 5: Is like, yeah, but she didn't have a connection.
Speaker 14: Me.
Speaker 17: She also doesn't have a weird attachment to a father
figure called sir that looks like you.
Speaker 5: No, you're right, that was I. I was thinking that
they would figure that out.
Speaker 19: I just take Daddy to a really weird place.
Speaker 4: I mean, is runt of their house.
Speaker 15: What are we doing?
Speaker 3: Sorry, you don't need to know.
Speaker 4: Any intervention.
Speaker 1: I will walk towards Low and just go to the wolf.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so you guys are group, So Desmond,
I assumed that there was into like a stop outside
their door talking that that was an ongoing talking. Looking,
I imagine you weren't sitting outside their thin wooden door
talking about the red flags they have for scar and
after a conversation about their fucking father figures that abandoned them,
who might be a criminal, their dead sister and then
psychonically broken sisters because.
Speaker 4: I was truly worried.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fucking just fermens I wonder what a red flag
is that conversation. Okay, so do you guys walk with
Desmond toward Lowtown?
Speaker 5: Mm?
Speaker 2: Hm as right now?
Speaker 5: Trying to do now, I've gotten all the information, has
it right now?
Speaker 8: Checking your notes?
Speaker 6: What a good play?
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, it's zero.
Speaker 5: Shame of cards.
Speaker 3: They're judging you, but they're judging you well.
Speaker 15: No, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3: Judging is a bad bank. When you think someone does well,
it is the result of having judged them.
Speaker 15: I'm reminded. I need to take notes.
Speaker 21: I'm so bad at taking Yeah, and you don't follow
in Desmond.
Speaker 15: Following the lead, bell lead or the leader.
Speaker 3: All right, you guys head.
Speaker 6: Towards the cop boy.
Speaker 3: Yep, all right, you guys head toward low Town, and
you are Desmond is specifically heading towards the wend Wolf.
You guys would arrive there roughly around four pm, given
the general assumption of how long the talk would take
and how long it would take to get there and such.
Uh so you guys arrived there at the beginning of
the evening. You guys arrived there. It is not terribly busy.
It still it still seems to be in like restaurant
hours as it is, it doesn't tend to shift over
to like hardcore tavern mode until the evening. This is
also this is also where Scarn lives, so this is
just a Scarn home. Scarn is now home. You guys
head toward the place. Is there anything that you do
once you're there? You asked to get seats, You get seated.
You're seated. You got seats. You had a table, table, choirs,
you get an early dinner, all right, even though you
had a hot dog.
Speaker 4: You know, I had a hot dog hot dogs pre.
Speaker 1: It's first, that covered my walk from Karra Gosha Sanctuary
in a low town. But that's like up two hills
and then down one terribly fire my small legs. That's
basically a day's work.
Speaker 3: It's true. Actually, the underloft pit, which is probably what
you guys went through to get there, is like two
hundred feet down and lowtown's eighty five, so there was
one hundred and twenty five foot incline involved in that
entire dress.
Speaker 14: Pepper and Dustman are slightly sweaty.
Speaker 15: Folk.
Speaker 3: All right, you guys get there. You guys get there,
You order food, You get some food, unless you guys
say you want specific things. I'm just saying you got food,
food acquire, dinner time, helly whatever, the outcol dinner plus
gin acquired.
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey, hey hey. Emotional scarn.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm a little.
Speaker 5: Bit off of it.
Speaker 8: O correct, you already got to do beIN.
Speaker 4: I don't care.
Speaker 19: Cool.
Speaker 13: That's exclusive to the pits logan.
Speaker 3: The mushrooms, mushroom based food, as we'm.
Speaker 4: Hair, are actually phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, what's that elvish word?
Speaker 4: Oh mommy, the first.
Speaker 19: Time you said, like, mommy.
Speaker 4: That's a red flag?
Speaker 15: Is that a red flag?
Speaker 17: I'm kidding, learned the funny new term.
Speaker 4: What's the second thing?
Speaker 6: What what the house of red flag?
Speaker 19: The red flag is a cause for a line?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 8: Is that mm hmm?
Speaker 17: Okay, But Desmond is being silly right now, so it's
not okay.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 21: So, if I'm understanding correctly, scorn drinking a lot is
a red flag.
Speaker 17: To potentially be a red flag? Yeah, right now, it's
more like an orange Okay.
Speaker 5: All right, Okay, I'm emotional.
Speaker 15: Right now.
Speaker 17: He's just emotional because the potential daddy, as he says,
is now a red flag.
Speaker 19: Oh yes, his reaction that was.
Speaker 21: Great drinks in the bar coming back when we get
super emotional, it's okay to.
Speaker 12: Try to do all those emotions without that.
Speaker 5: Don't worry about me.
Speaker 15: Yeah, god, it'll be okay.
Speaker 17: There are tons of people in the pits.
Speaker 5: I'm not even sad about that anymore.
Speaker 3: I wanted dad.
Speaker 8: Oh my god.
Speaker 19: You know it's.
Speaker 4: True. You have so much in coming.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Well, like, well, when you think about it, it's not
that Scarn didn't have a dad. He had his copy
Hotto dad. But likey, but like, think about it, he
as far as he knew, his dad just up and left.
Speaker 15: And then it turns out.
Speaker 13: You can come to here.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like, you show me out.
Speaker 6: With us and we could talk about this.
Speaker 5: I'm on the floor, Okay, I'll.
Speaker 6: Join you on the floor.
Speaker 8: What's up. You're really lucky that you had a dad
in the first place.
Speaker 6: I didn't have a dad at all.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's just a very confusing, you know, very confusing
series of events. You thought your your actual father up
and left as far as everyone knew, and it turns
out he was actually kind of here for a while
the whole time, and taking children.
Speaker 5: Didn't take care of me.
Speaker 12: Listen, you didn't need him to take care of you.
Speaker 8: You had a way better dad.
Speaker 15: Again.
Speaker 17: Yeah, we have to consider the possibility that he didn't
even know you existed.
Speaker 5: Real, real, and you'll know nothing.
Speaker 3: About my mom.
Speaker 6: He doesn't know I exist. Yeah, we don't find him yet.
Speaker 17: We don't know why you were left until we know that.
Speaker 15: We can't.
Speaker 14: It's kind of I don't know, and kind of seeing
all all the bull honky that comes with everything with
sir that we found out so far.
Speaker 13: Maybe it wasn't a bad thing.
Speaker 17: Oh my god, what you're calling you sir? Almost in
like a whole other context too.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 4: Oh I still have shake just after I left. Weird.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, there's a point.
Speaker 12: Is the point is fuck that guy?
Speaker 6: Fu?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 19: No, no, no, the context.
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, we're gonna be mad at him until we
find out if you had good reasons for leaving or
not knowing about you or something.
Speaker 1: Got to kill one of his adopted daughters and Lorie's mom.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, really was that? That part really does give
me though, because like why I why is he killing is?

care of me and like, I.
Speaker 5: Right, kid, take a drink. Wait a minute, no, let
me No, no.
Speaker 12: You guys said that we're allowed to drink when more emotional.

you can get lost in the sauce.
Speaker 23: You don't want to be lost, ud you keeping brain
like you scoring you really cool and I would love
to be like you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, find out what juice they have that I can get.

Speaker 4: I didn't say thank you, would have left it. I
felt bad about it, but.
Speaker 5: I felt bad.
Speaker 3: Rubber from me. A hearing based perception. Check the.
Speaker 1: Words they've been waiting to hear. How many seventeen?
Speaker 15: I just.
Speaker 4: Excitement seventeen?
Speaker 3: But you hear a distinct uh now the others don't
really here kind of blends with noise, but you're so
used to hearing this sound that I kind of cuts
through for you. You here just outside of just a.
Speaker 14: M hmm.
Speaker 3: I will be right, for God's sake.
Speaker 14: Do you want to come with me for a sec
I'm gonna grab desmonds shoulder and kind of drag him
along with me.
Speaker 15: I'm gonna go see.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go see who's calling me.
Speaker 19: Pepper.
Speaker 15: They live their floor locked, They're not going nowhere? Who
all right? I know you're out here.
Speaker 13: I heard you.
Speaker 3: Do you walk outside? You do see sitting pretty prominently
in the middle of the general road, like in front
of an alley that leads back behind the buildings.
Speaker 5: You see a.
Speaker 3: Cat that you recognized to be One of you recognizes
to be Oxalia and the other recognizes to be Potato.
And as it as you walk out, it opens its
mouth and you hear the quickest like and then as
soon as Desmond walks out it just goes. His eyes
moved between the two of you, and then he looks
into the alley and look back to you.
Speaker 13: We can all, we can all go in that alley.
Speaker 1: Sure find something, buddy, the way we told Desmond, that.
Speaker 3: Is what you got, knows uh. Its face crunches and
it darts in behind the building.
Speaker 1: Okay, I could make up like that. One of my
friends back in the army they were talking about how
they have one of their cats they always like purse
their lips when they poop.
Speaker 4: We're just thinking, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I didn't really have a ton of
time to think about this, but I got my It's basic,
it's petty, but I'll do it.
Speaker 13: Mm hmm.
Speaker 14: I'm excited to see all right, and I will plunk
along with after your potato solia.
Speaker 13: Patalia.
Speaker 3: This is gonna be This is gonna be wild if
it works or it doesn't work. As you guys head
in behind the building, you have a moment of you
hear like seems to echo out and as you go
behind the building you do not see Axalia. However, however, please,
how to the ever, I need to roll a number
of D eight's real quick, a number okay, slay should
be at okay.
Speaker 16: The likelihood is lolow oh, come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, big money, big money, big money,
Come on please.
Speaker 3: That doesn't quite work, does.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: As you head back, as you guys head back and
look for it, and you hadn't and you realized that
Axalia Potato the cat has has vanished. You like your
vision blurs slightly once you're back in behind the building.
You swear you see like a couple of flower petals
drift in front of your vision and just very briefly,
you're you feel tired, You just like sway on your feet.
But since it didn't roll quite high enough, you quickly
shake your head out of it. As you hear one
final just if they're going up above you?
Speaker 14: Are we trying to you totally use that spell in emergencies?
Speaker 3: That's not fair, you uh regard upward. You see that
on top of the edge of the roof of the
back of the wind wolf Ooksali is sitting there. Uh,
and you see they have a paw up and there
is a faint glow that is fading from their paws.
They quickly put it down on the ground.
Speaker 13: I mean a sleep spell. That is that that is
there's one of my friends. Come on, I thought, I thought,
I are we not past this?
Speaker 3: They look the looked. They looked at Desmond and then
back to you and the Desmond.
Speaker 15: I'm still holding my.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have them roll inside.
Speaker 15: Pepper is just swaying on one foot.
Speaker 13: To the other.
Speaker 3: Since I know you're trying to act like you don't know,
roll me deception.
Speaker 18: Can we're kiddy, you reroll the one into just beating
them by a point.
Speaker 3: They rerolled for those at home, they rolled the one
at one and it rerolled into sixteen. Because halflings, they
let out fall.
Speaker 1: Over because I'm trying to its too hard, too close
to the sun. That stops him from seeing my face.
Speaker 4: Be like me.
Speaker 3: To find fallover on my face like you're on the ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Axlia comes to the conclusion that the spell worn't uh oh,
they see it there. They jumped down, landing on Desmond's
back and just sit on the back of demand. Oh
that's about enough of that, I think, Oh my goodness,
it's just the one friend of yours that I had
instructed you not to tell on account of them not
already knowing. And they're the one you bring out to
speak to me.
Speaker 15: They were the one that was with me.
Speaker 13: We're just sure, Drake's all. So how.
Speaker 3: You Desmond laying under the cat? Now hear the cat
talk for the first time on your back?
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, exactly.
Speaker 2: I've come back into report on account of our benefactory
They were alarmed somewhat by some of the information that
we provided to them, and they would like to speak
to you and to this group directly.
Speaker 15: Is that is that necessary?
Speaker 2: Are If they're going to continue to aid you in
what we're doing, then you're going to need them to
know exactly who you and I am and are and
were and will be.
Speaker 13: What really really?
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, Unfortunately, due to the nature of our charm,
there's no way to do that without you.
Speaker 3: Soon take a deep breath in and they give an
eye roll.
Speaker 2: They're going to have to briefly come back to his tower.
Speaker 15: Why really.
Speaker 13: Are we sure?
Speaker 14: But he's got such good work, can't he send one
of his representatives?
Speaker 2: The things we need to speak about are unable to
be spoken about outside the confines.
Speaker 3: Of where we came from. We can't even use the
right nouns.
Speaker 13: I know, because if you're trying to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 15: Oh, I hate when it does that, so worth it.
Speaker 14: Okay, okay, okay, I didn't know that I was going
to be seeing him so soon. Okay, Like, do we
have Tamlin on this.
Speaker 2: It has informed me that he also has uncovered some
information about the person who goes by the name of
ef Case. Yeah, and it is dire timeline wise, I've
been permitted to construct a circle. I'm going to construct
it outside of the back of the tavern at which
we are staying. Bring them there when you're.
Speaker 13: Ready, when when we're red so like within.
Speaker 2: The preferably you'd like dis instant.
Speaker 3: But it will take me some time.
Speaker 2: Working with these tiny little cat hands renders my ability
to do certain things a little bit dirt. It isn't inefficient.
Speaker 14: I thought you could make sidneys much better with black
your little claw.
Speaker 15: But that's well, all right, I'll go get everyone.
Speaker 2: As soon as I leave here, I will release the
Oh actually I suppose that's.
Speaker 3: Only one jumps down in front of Desmond's face.
Speaker 1: The water skin I've been holding in my hands is
squeezed very tightly, ejecting the water into the cat's face.
Speaker 4: The best I could do on short notice.
Speaker 8: What beautiful awake.
Speaker 4: That's for allowing to me, who dick.
Speaker 2: They run away, just run away, you hear, tiny and little,
just annoyed, just.
Speaker 3: Into the distance as they run off, now wet and
their poofy fur coat now just like a sheer cloak
around them as they are a drenched, long haired cat fleeing.
Speaker 14: Oh, I've never seen someone get the one up on
an ox.
Speaker 4: All I had to do was keep my face in
the dirt for three minutes.
Speaker 13: That didn't do too much damage.
Speaker 14: Just like, we'll brush dirt off of your face back
to work in order.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, rubs out his face, getting more
dirt on it.
Speaker 13: It looks great, perfect, Maybe it adds it a little son.
Speaker 25: Well, okay, okay, all right, okay, I need to we
need to gather every oh okay you wanted.
Speaker 15: Answer is what we're just about to again. Really, yes,
I need you all to be like so cool when
we go through here.
Speaker 1: Okay, given the last six hours, I find that unlikely,
but we'll see.
Speaker 13: We'll probably find it amusing. He gets a kick out
of this tough stuff.
Speaker 14: I mean, he likes me, chose me, so all right,
I'm gonna run back into the bar.
Speaker 6: I need a shot.
Speaker 15: I need a shot a liquor.
Speaker 18: Never, don't here you go shut of liquor, liquor.
Speaker 14: Oh no, we have to soar it sober, low off.
Oh god, I can't have a drunk child and friend sorel.

Speaker 8: Oh is in here?
Speaker 6: All right with the scar.
Speaker 8: Got sober?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 13: Pull yourself together?
Speaker 15: Okay, very soft slap to the face.
Speaker 5: Why why did you.
Speaker 13: Freaking out a little bit? Okay, we're going on a
road trip everyone, Hey, have the.
Speaker 15: So you know how I've been like answers.
Speaker 13: Who knows what we're getting those? We're getting them now?

Speaker 1: All right, all right, I'm gonna wait a hand on
either side of Pepper's face. I'm going to need you
to breathe for several seconds.
Speaker 4: Su shirt in my hands was emotional.
Speaker 17: Get your plants right, and I'm gonna head to a
little flue one's room.
Speaker 19: Let's be going beer.
Speaker 3: All right, Actually, this is a good time. I know
you have some stuff that you need to do, and
let's say, let's shoot for before we get into this
next lot of things. Let's take a break real quick.
Speaker 2: Today's break will be a little tiny bit longer because
Anna has a thing that they need to do.
Speaker 3: It's a cooking thing. So quick, quick, ten to fifteen.
Speaker 15: Break time, Cede, calm down because I was.
Speaker 3: Get what's up? You're not ready?
Speaker 5: This is called accurate pepburger.
Speaker 14: Today's the day I see I need to be or
be Oh, I need to do some stress squats.
Speaker 4: Oh that's awful.
Speaker 3: What's whatever?
Speaker 1: They were eating froyo in the good place because it
would melt under like filming lighting. Yeah, they were usually
just eating cream, cheese or mashed potatoes.
Speaker 3: Mashed potatoes wouldn't be so bad. That's pretty ineffects.
Speaker 4: Right then, cream cheese is the one that made me
be like.
Speaker 1: That's a a mooondful of just cream cheese with color.
Speaker 2: That'd be it'd be so strong if it was just
pure cream cheese.
Speaker 3: Like I've been I've been lately. One of the Hello
Fresh meals I got was like these little burgers you
could get that were like you cook them with cream
cheese and stuff inside the patty, and it was really good.
So I've been experimenting with cooking that way on my
own because I was like, I really like this. Now,
you don't put it into burger anything. You just kind of
make a patty and you you fold it in on
it and you put like halpinos and cream cheese and
stuff inside it. Make like a little Hamburger popper kind
of deal. But like when I was trying to make it,
I put just straight up cream cheese in there without
mixing it with much of anything, and I was like,
it's good, but it's way rich and way thick. So
just spooning that into your mouth ough goodness.
Speaker 4: Real like it. But yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 5: D Rose.
Speaker 3: I hope it was mostly potatoes, though given the consistency
of it when they did it probably have to be
like like potatoes with like at least some cream or
something in them.
Speaker 4: Mm.
Speaker 3: By the way, this is one of the newer tracks
we got made.
Speaker 4: And I love this fucking track.
Speaker 13: It's very good.
Speaker 15: Oh god, oh I have to become calm.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I love this one, and I really love
the one that we started with earlier. Today. All right,
you guys keep chatting entertained and whatnot. I'm gonna step
away for just a sec.
Speaker 4: Baka, hold hands.
Speaker 14: I need, I need, I need help. Oh no, oh no, no,
today will be fun.
Speaker 13: Desmond's a joy. That was a good quick plan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I was like, what do I have
in my inventory? How can I fuck with this cat?
Speaker 1: I was gonna spend as much I need to make
some elaborate revenge bringing. I'm like, well, we don't get
to pick which our battles happen sometimes, So like a
good soldier I made.
Speaker 15: I'm soldered on.
Speaker 7: Holding here.
Speaker 4: One of them filthy handholders.
Speaker 15: Hell yeah, with Aaron always.
Speaker 4: Put that on my blue skin of the day.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, guys, it's almost Halloween, it's spooky seasons,
So what if we like held hands and maintained eye contact.
Speaker 15: That sounds terrifying, how horrifying?
Speaker 17: Spooky?
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Casual intimacy also known as pure unadulterated horror.
Speaker 14: Yes, the enjoining of fingers a philange to be more technical.
Speaker 4: Some hard knuck gripping.
Speaker 14: Yeah, met a car's bulls met a tar soul said
other finger bones and up? Dare I say two pairs
of thumbs, which that's.
Speaker 19: Pretty heinous, some sort of war.
Speaker 4: Have thumbs.
Speaker 13: What you're gonna do if I lose?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 1: Man, oh me, oh then what we'll just have to see?
Speaker 13: I love a mystery. I need to stop having so
many documents just named pepper. This is not helpful to
me at all.
Speaker 4: Pepper, Pepper, pepberg pepper.
Speaker 14: You just you just but one of them is literally
like capital pea pepper, lowercase pea pepper, and then one's pepper.
Speaker 15: But oh oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, bro bookloo, what a miss chat one of
the crazy fucking out of pocket like just no evidence
pepe Sylvia fucking theories we got going on?
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, give us some of your theory.
Speaker 1: Give me some of your your twine, thumbtack corkboards.
Speaker 15: Yeah, lets let us know, let's let's get the the is.
Speaker 1: Moon theis secretly the like both Attislin at the same time.
Have they been fused and they switch personalities between them?
Or is moon Theist entirely a red herring and Leuna's
doing that? But it really seems like moon Theris is
doing that, and so we're like, oh wait, truest later
because they got their head on the shoulders, seem to
be doing the right thing. But really it's just a
way to make us the viewers and players kind of
look away from them while they're out here causing problems.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and we all love Luna.
Speaker 4: Bar is absolutely a god in disguise? Are that's good?
We help them and I threatened them with a gun.
Speaker 14: Oh no, my memory is failing me. But who's the
god that we got the a mirror? They're just secretly
a mirror looking for cuddles. There's definitely some am a
lot of amniotic stuff going on.
Speaker 15: Everyone is flash.
Speaker 4: Everyone is fush mm hmm, come as.
Speaker 14: Phosh, Yes, yes, impudent threat. You'd be turned into a
rat afterwards.
Speaker 13: Oh no, then Desmond would be a little rat boy, A.
Speaker 4: Little rat boy looking for cheese.
Speaker 2: I have cheese?
Speaker 13: Oh wow, No, I literally did from when I was
given to Basker. Some Brett has a niasis. Say it isn't,
So what are we talking about it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 26: I was torturing, Uh, I was torturing hecking carry with
that the other day chat joking that like, I definitely
have a nea sis, and I'm like cut to you know,
ten fifteen sessions from now where like I'm getting close
to too far gone and Laurie has to pick up
Desmond's revolver and finish him off.
Speaker 1: Oh and I just posted the picture from I can't
remember him in the movie, the one that's using the
fucking one of the race wars out. I'll have to
shoot Tony Hawk meme, she's the guy holding her and cry.
Speaker 13: Oh gosh, I was I was thinking mice and men.
Speaker 4: Oaks too. I want them to have to look me
in the eyes and.
Speaker 1: I want them to look right into the windows to
my soul and see there's nothing there.
Speaker 13: You want them to be aware when the lights go out,
how they go out.
Speaker 4: It's also just more dramatic that way.
Speaker 13: Yeah, And you know who can who can pass up
making Carrie suffer? I certainly can't.
Speaker 4: Imagine mun Theras is an only child that is pretending
to be all three.
Speaker 1: That's wild because that implies that Muntheris is in Caragasha Sanctuary,
points to like their house with Leonda or like Lauda's place,
and then quickly gets change and sprints. They're ahead of
us while we chat up fronts and then walk over.
Speaker 15: Hey, I was.
Speaker 6: Reading my book.
Speaker 13: I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 14: Talk like maybe one of the maybe one of the
siblings is not even a sibling at all, and it's
just someone impersonating a sibling for a very long time, or.
Speaker 4: Like Glorie Trauma.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's no such thing as triplets, and it was
a ruse from the beginning, not that they're not triplets.
Maybe there's never been triplets.
Speaker 4: This at all. You're having twins.
Speaker 1: If you add another, too bad, you're now having quintuplets.
Speaker 4: Quadruplets. Uh uh, that's that's that.
Speaker 3: That's the that's the third twin.
Speaker 4: That's not a triplet.
Speaker 3: We called that a twins. Cubed is the name for
that that they called.
Speaker 14: We call them the middle twin because they got there
because they're not identical and they're fraternal.
Speaker 13: It's kind of mixture.
Speaker 4: The third twin. It sounds like a like Somnian crime novel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that just in general sounds like like a
thriller novel. For like, the mystery is that in the family,
there was like these these two There is a family
and it revolves around two suspects, but their family had
like a third had a triplet, but they never met
him because the the stepmother ran away with them and
then they came back for revenge later in life, and
so there's unknown triplet.
Speaker 1: If I was gonna say because of the title, would
give like parts of that away. I feel like the
waves start that novel, is that the third sibling.
Speaker 4: Like there's a you know whatever. I guess if it
was like an I or all not this, but it's
like a DNA match. They're like, we know who this is.
Speaker 1: And they go to the family and both twins are
there and they're like, okay, who's this and it's finding
out who this person was, and then out of them
maybe you saw one at the end and they're actually
totally okay, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 14: No, no.
Speaker 4: Twist.
Speaker 3: The twist is there's a fourth twin.
Speaker 14: Baby, I've got a random guy who just would look
at like missing persons and reply to them and be like, yeah,
I'm that kid who disappeared a while ago. Yep, that's me,
and we try to trick families into thinking that he
was there.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a really common scam. Terrible, it's nuts,
tens of stuff like that.
Speaker 1: There's a more common, like short version of that scam
is they call like elderly people and they're just like,
it's me, your grandson or whatever, and I need money
now or I'm gonna go to jail for the rest
of my life. Help and either try and panic them
and descending, you know, however much over whatever service and
then just peace up.
Speaker 13: Yeah, those people, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: You should have third twin and has arrived. It's just
like some a giving birth and like five twin, sir,
truly a mirror.
Speaker 13: They keep all of them.
Speaker 3: And you yeah, man, you're probably I stepped away for
a while. How's your how's your thing going? How much
longer do we feel we got? Well, well, I know
they can hear us.
Speaker 13: Yeah they should be. Maybe they'll type a chat.
Speaker 3: Yep, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm hoping now that you're back up quickly
used a little gamble.
Speaker 3: All right, here I go. Time to be entertaining. I
did briefly after taking aside to respond to an artist,
but here it comes. It's me. The sound of me
talking about nothing in particular counts as entertainment. So I'm
just going to keep talking about how I'm talking, and
that should constitute engagement, right, justice, Yes, indeed, good and
now and now there's multiple of us, so our group
credit has gone up.
Speaker 13: Yes, and I'm hearing what you're saying.
Speaker 14: And I'm telling people that I'm hearing what you're saying
and what you're saying, and that you're talking right now,
and that I hear it.
Speaker 13: And Seggie's also here.
Speaker 3: Justice, What do you what do you do when you
what do you say when you agree with someone?
Speaker 5: Yep mm hmm.
Speaker 19: Already I'm back.
Speaker 13: I heard you.
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, how's your stuff going?
Speaker 13: I already seen it.
Speaker 3: I was done.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So while while Pepper, while Pepper and and Desma
we're having their scene, I was setting up the grill
in the oven and getting some of the searing done
while I had you.
Speaker 19: Guys on speed.
Speaker 3: Oh you're so smart.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So uh So, now that I've seared all the all
the all the big pork chunks, I've just put a
can of beer.
Speaker 19: In there with them and then we're really nice.
Speaker 6: I tried to go for like a harder seer this time.
Speaker 9: So sometimes the grill does this thing where the juicy
biddies actually catch on fire. Oh no, and I was like,
hold on, might be onto something. This is what it
all came out looking like this is still you, but
this is all seared.
Speaker 2: So then I just.
Speaker 6: I poured a can of beer.
Speaker 9: Over that, and it's now gonna be in the oven
for three hours.
Speaker 6: So then I'm oh, my god, looks.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I'm usually scared to see her on the grill once
it starts catching fire, start blowing like an idiot. It's like,
I'm likente, I need to see her in the juices.
Speaker 6: I need to see it in that flavor and juice.
Speaker 4: I complete.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So it's like I had you, don't be scared
of the fire, embrace it. I just started putting the
meat over it.
Speaker 3: Just cook. You're writing a Dark Souls narrative.
Speaker 14: There have been many times where I thought I was
burning the actually something to the point where one time
I was like, oh, this heat feels so hot that
it should be burning my eyebrows off.
Speaker 13: But I think I'm okay.
Speaker 14: I did not.
Speaker 15: I had definitely burned some eyebrows off, eyebrow hairs off, but.
Speaker 13: I just one side.
Speaker 14: I was doing my makeup the next day. I was like,
my eyebrows on this side are so much shorter like
the hairs.
Speaker 3: Everybody, you all appear to be back.
Speaker 13: No, No, let's do another more five more more time.
Speaker 3: No you want to go do some more stas spots. Yeah, okay, okay, let's.
Speaker 15: Know what I'm gonna stand for.
Speaker 13: This portion that seems like.
Speaker 3: The more safe I stand for all the portions.
Speaker 8: Hey, there you go, audience.
Speaker 19: I put it in the that nineteen chat.
Speaker 9: It's gonna it's gonna be a random picture of my
upcoming food.
Speaker 13: In the chat.
Speaker 15: Have on fuck yeah delicious.
Speaker 6: I do make some bomb ass pulled pork like.
Speaker 9: If I ever get the chance to visit longer term,
I would love to make you guys have pulled pork.
Speaker 15: Oh, I like it.
Speaker 3: When I do need a grill, or at least we've
been we've been talking for years about getting like a barbecue.
Speaker 6: It is, yeah, yeah, it is so worthfully belief.
Speaker 21: Every time it's like spring and summer's approaching, we're likely.
Speaker 3: We should get one. Then we go look at them.
We're like, are affordable we get this, and then we don't,
then we don't.
Speaker 6: Ye like that it's like eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Like, I think it's affordable between everybody, especially because most
places that offer them you can like have a payment plan.
I think the main thing stops us is we're just like,
we'll need to come back and bring this home, and
then we're like, probably.
Speaker 5: I'm busy.
Speaker 3: I'm busy. I don't want to do a second thing.
Speaker 15: I think.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 15: Like, so we got our grill.
Speaker 9: Obviously because of Jester's job, we got it for cheaper
than the actual price.
Speaker 6: Like it's a pretty big grill, and we.
Speaker 19: Also had to walk.
Speaker 6: He had to put it together, and like you can
have it sent to you and then you guys just
put it together.
Speaker 9: It's it's definitely worth it.
Speaker 14: You guys.
Speaker 9: You can you can you can spare, you can grow asparagus,
you grow chicken, pork steak. It just it just opens
a whole new world of like fast cuisine.
Speaker 3: This spring, we should definitely remember to get a barbecue
or a grill every on every fridge, get.
Speaker 9: A propane one, just just just for the fact that
it's a lot easier in told of making sure everything.
Speaker 13: Is in order.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, everybody, let's get this party started. Let's
jump right back into things. Uh, we're gonna started in here.
That's good, it started. Let's get it started in here.
Speaker 6: Nolic says, make it a throne request.
Speaker 3: Dam Can you imagine? All right, everybody just jumping back
in right where we ended.
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 3: You guys, Pepper went and was trying to collect everybody
they were, and everyone was getting collected. You tell me
what happens.
Speaker 15: Laurie Verrial, do you think you can sober up one?
Speaker 13: Do you sure?
Speaker 14: Okay?
Speaker 6: I listen, I'm not drunk.
Speaker 3: I just don't feel chug the water.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 6: The last thing I chugged made me feel terrible.
Speaker 12: I'm gonna sip the water.
Speaker 5: The hydration.
Speaker 17: Sipping the water is the best, most mature way to
do about things. Also, while you were passed out, I
drew this really epic battle between you and your hypothetical
fob it. But because I don't know what, put a
really cool cloak on him.
Speaker 21: I mean it just I feel like his face would
look like mine, but like, you know, like more chiseled
and like an adult.
Speaker 17: But there But there's also just an air of mystery
of having them having like this big cloak on it.
Speaker 14: You should probably have like a like a piece of
bread or something going through teleportation.
Speaker 2: I don't want to.
Speaker 8: Thank you though, it's nice, Chicken, what do you even do?

Speaker 8: Man, We're like, get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 8: No, I can't do that. I can't do that. I

Speaker 13: Honestly, Laurie, you.
Speaker 15: Outpaced me at a walk, so I can know you
of stroll.
Speaker 13: Probably you got long legs, kiddo.
Speaker 6: Noticed in my legs.
Speaker 4: But a figure for what we got to go, we'll

Speaker 13: I can nurse in BERSI.
Speaker 15: You don't have to thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8: Got the next one, Desmond?
Speaker 14: Yeah, mm hmmm, you missed out, Laurie, best crank on ox,
I have ever seen what.
Speaker 8: I was asleep and feeling like ship.
Speaker 5: What you do You found that weird ass cat?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Did you finally get to hear him talk?
Speaker 5: Wait? That weird ass cat talks?
Speaker 13: You know that?
Speaker 3: You know that?
Speaker 4: Mm hmm?
Speaker 6: Would you the cat?
Speaker 15: He surprised him?
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a hard thing to do with os. I
mean I rarely get the jump on the guy.
Speaker 6: How did you get the jump on him?
Speaker 8: What did you do? I was passed out on the floor.
Speaker 5: Jump on cats all?
Speaker 4: He jumped on. I blasted him in the face.
Speaker 8: Did you kill a cat?
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you be fine?
Speaker 6: What did you bless him?
Speaker 4: Water?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 26: Oh?
Speaker 6: Cats?
Speaker 14: That? Do you think he was gonna shoot him in
the face, Laurie, He said, I blasted the cat.
Speaker 4: Get pranked.
Speaker 3: Now you're dead.
Speaker 13: I would not have been left as hard as to
have was if that were the case.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, okay, cool. So the weird cat, the
weird cat's good.
Speaker 8: Okay, cool, it's not weird.
Speaker 6: Doesn't you get to hear him talk what?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, he's proudly on about what we're gonna go
do now, And and then he looked at me in
the face, and I was like, uh, huh get deceived idiots, Yeah,
but they get for deceiving me.
Speaker 4: It's you know, tip for tat.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, and that that amount of wrath is is
the penance for for deceiving you.
Speaker 3: Run.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was gonna try and find cat
nap or something and some other stuff like a rigged
together a weird little trap, but that would have took
me a while. And uh, that opportunity passed me by, unfortunately.
But you know, there's always another talking cat that's deceiving
me that I can do that too, I'm sure.
Speaker 21: Huh yeah, guys, something kind of like drinking. I feel
I feel gross and I miss Desmond's brink.
Speaker 4: Yeah you're too old to drink.
Speaker 14: Looking up for you, Yeah, you're too tiny to drink.
Happening as we're walking, as we're walking walking in. We're talking, mm,
pep's got like a little extra pep in her pep stept.
Speaker 13: In our lemon pepper steps.
Speaker 3: You guys come within range of the curling bobcat. You're
like out front of it.
Speaker 4: Huh, jess, my goodness, it's still here. Oh, I can't
believe I never expected that anywhere. To walk around back.
Speaker 3: As you walk around to the back, you you see
that tucked around the back in a small little uh
section of trees. U. There is a faint glow coming
from the ground. By this point, it's about six pm.
It's a bit it's a little bit like frosty outside.
It's a little bit, a little bit, a little bit snowy.
The ground is a little bit, a little tiny bit white.
But where you go you see that there's a warmth
caused by some kind of magical effect that is causing
the frost to vanish in a small area where you
see a tiny cat, little white cat, pulling its claws
along the ground, digging in a circle with all sorts
of rings of in trick hit arcane symbols bound into them.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 3: And as you're doing so, it seems to roughly finish
up whenever you get there and it looks over seized
Desmond and his eyes just squint and just.
Speaker 4: Yourself.
Speaker 15: Oh, come on, it was a harmless praise, dimond.
Speaker 4: Oh being a mice.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have to being so thoroughly sopped.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you deserved it, don't.
Speaker 15: You have hers digitation are just giving you a nice bath.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't need a bath, I'm perfectly.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 13: Ain't as the tap magic that you can dry yourself
with too.
Speaker 3: Punt is not whether or not I could have comment
from being soaking wet.
Speaker 2: The point is I should not have to bear the insolence,
the indignation of being so unexpectedly liquidated.
Speaker 13: Trying to cast the sleep spill on him.
Speaker 2: To my understanding, he did not know what I was.
Speaker 3: That was a matter of secrecy.
Speaker 5: Hey, you expected the investigator cop not to investigate.
Speaker 3: I expected him to fall asleep.
Speaker 15: Don't expect no, the don't expect paflings.
Speaker 3: Oh dear god, they drunk.
Speaker 6: Yes, do anything you are when you.
Speaker 14: Have been at a bar partaken in libations. But I
they give me their word they will be presentable for sorrow.
So no, don't you have greater restoration or like a
restaurateurs like you have more.
Speaker 13: Magic than I do, right, I do?
Speaker 5: My magic is more of the arcane variety I don't have.
Speaker 2: The answer is no, I will not make up for
your fellows shortcomings.
Speaker 8: Okay, question.
Speaker 12: Lesser restoration work?
Speaker 3: But for you with removing ds. I suppose I mean the.
Speaker 13: Diseases and stuff. I assume that a poison.
Speaker 6: Does alcohol count as a poison?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, since I'm not drunk, scarn guess scarn sober.
Speaker 3: Scar being being drunk?
Speaker 14: Ah?
Speaker 5: Okay, what oh I got?
Speaker 8: I got you?
Speaker 5: Why did you do that to me?
Speaker 4: You're the drunk one.
Speaker 15: I'm not drunk.
Speaker 8: What do you mean, I'm.
Speaker 2: I'm god?
Speaker 14: What pepper bats her eyelashes? You can't lesser restoration on
your slid?
Speaker 8: Please?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 3: The child drunk?
Speaker 13: I've heard, not partaken any of that. It just means
a lot to me, Laurie, I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't have a lot of magic at that level.
Speaker 14: But yo, okay, where we're going, everyone else is going
to have more more than enough magic to help us out.
Speaker 8: I cast it all.
Speaker 2: We are not going to a place where it is
to be expecting that everybody around us is going to
expand that valuable allans to aid your group of country
bumpkin friends.
Speaker 4: I've got like forms harsh.
Speaker 14: Okay, if you had a problem with country bumpkins, I
don't know how you ended up working with me.
Speaker 8: I was assigned about yourself, Pepper doing.
Speaker 12: M country nor bunking.
Speaker 8: Well, I think, well.
Speaker 3: Not listen up, everybody.
Speaker 2: What do you see before you that I have intricately
crafted with my temporary little kiddie claws. It's a teleportation circle. Oh,
this will allow us to travel to the location at
which myself and Pepper are employed, to the organization that
had sent us here to begin with. Because there are
certain things that you are need to be made aware
of if you are to help Pepper. Normally, those like
you would not be allowed in. This is an astounding honor,
and you will treat it as as such.
Speaker 3: Understood, No, you don't come.
Speaker 8: You're being very vague.
Speaker 12: I mean, I'll read it as an honor like for Pepper,
but like you're being so vague.
Speaker 5: We have to be vague.
Speaker 13: This is this is something that most people do not
even know exists on the map.
Speaker 2: Us what you are okay, us being vague is the
very reason why you are going. Both Pepper and I
are compelled to be unable to speak of the place
we are going unless we are at the place we
are going. And there are things that you need to
be told and names you need to know that require
that not be a limitation.
Speaker 6: Yeahs when we get there.
Speaker 2: No, normally those who come here would be forced to
take it on. But it takes a while for the
curse to set in, so you will not have it
put on you, which is something that I disagree with fundamentally.
But time is of the essence in what Pepper is doing.
Speaker 14: Okay, it is paramount that you try to pursue this
with the most discretion you can. There are many lives,
in very many.
Speaker 13: It's important.
Speaker 15: I can't stress that enough.
Speaker 5: Okay, seems pretty important. Let's do this.
Speaker 13: Yeah, thank you, Scar.
Speaker 4: What do you guys think I'm writing my notes? Curse
takes a while.
Speaker 2: Stop writing notes about the things I'm saying. No, No,
I am very serious. Anything you write about this will
be confiscated.
Speaker 12: Oh, Pepper, page, No, that's that's the whole thing.
Speaker 6: That's the whole thing. You need to write everything down.
Speaker 8: You can't.
Speaker 6: You can't stop him.
Speaker 19: See.
Speaker 13: Uh, yes, we can that's the thing. Yes, yes, we can.
Speaker 8: Write it down.
Speaker 13: Because it's a secret. The secret has been protected for.
Speaker 2: I mean you can't see because the place we are
going constitutes visiting a place that.
Speaker 3: Will make you the greatest possible enemies of the Academy.
Speaker 10: Oh okay, but like no one else is gonna get
to see his notes, Like nobody else gets to see
his notes.
Speaker 2: If the Academy were to find that you have notes
regarding the place you are about to go, you would
be tortured for information.
Speaker 12: No, it doesn't mean maybe stop writing them notes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I understood what.
Speaker 2: All right, step into the circle and I will activate it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm honestly looking forward to you seeing this type
of place, Laurie. This is magic, untamed magic is sure's
form the way it's meant to be.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Loie, are you okay with this?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 8: You've been real quiet.
Speaker 17: This is a little dubious. But if it's gonna get
us closer to whatever the hell is going on?
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, if everybody's on board, Yeah, let's cool.
Speaker 13: Thank you all.
Speaker 14: No, I know it's not easy, but everything that I've
I've done, it's all for a reason. And everything I've
not told you about it's for a reason.
Speaker 21: So okay, when we get there, you're still not going
to be the like Jay names, replaces and stuff like that,
because it's still going to be in effect.
Speaker 14: No, once you're see, once I there, I'm actually able
to remember and like talk about a lot of the stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh cool, so you can.
Speaker 6: You can tell us a lot of stuff once we
get there.
Speaker 14: Well, I'm sure I won't be the one man. This
circle's taken a long time to kick in Oxy.
Speaker 3: Nobody said that they were all stepping into it.
Speaker 13: I'm in here.
Speaker 6: She's just trying to avoid the conversation.
Speaker 12: I'm not in the circle.
Speaker 2: The one who will be doing your education is sorrow.
Speaker 21: You say, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow, sorrow.
Speaker 3: So, okay, does anybody not get in the circle?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think everyone can.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I'm like, okay, yeah, we turn the key, We turn
the key.
Speaker 3: You all get into the circle. The cat jumps into
the central ring of the circle, and then the marks
on the ground begin to glow, each ring glowing a
slightly different hue. They all lift up off the ground,
one above each other, and they begin to spin in
different contrasting directions, some of them begin to tilt in
the air, forming effectively a sphere of rings that surrounds
all of you. As the world around you, the little
forested area back behind the bobcat begins to fade away
and fade out of view, darkness pulling in like a
mist around it, until there's nothing but you, a circle
under your feet representing the ground you stand on, and
several arcane rings floating around the side of all of you.
As this happens, Oxalia seems to lift off the ground
just slightly, and you sure, Oh, I say, all right, okay,
And then darkness just overtakes where they were and Ox disappears.
Speaker 6: Oh would you go ox Oliah?
Speaker 14: Maybe Sorel decided that Ox shouldn't be with us, or
maybe this circle requires there's only a certain many people.
Speaker 12: Maybe he couldn't do it because he's a cat.
Speaker 13: He's more than a cat, he's a.
Speaker 6: Okay, But maybe you couldn't do it because he was
in kitty form.
Speaker 15: Maybe I haven't stopped.
Speaker 14: He I've seen him do incredible things before in that form,
so I'm inclined to doubt that.
Speaker 3: But you hear a whisping, windy sound moving about you
in the darkness that surrounds you currently, and then a
voice penetrate through it and begins to seem to bounce,
reverberating around the darkness around you, A relatively unassuming voice
you just hear ax Salia has only been checking in
with me lately, and they have other duties here at
the college. I believe someone else has summoned them to
report in.
Speaker 15: Oh, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 3: I'll be sure to retrieve them so they can send
you back as well.
Speaker 13: I can figure it out if I need it too.
Speaker 15: Maybe not. No, I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 3: But it's good to see you again, Pepper, sorrel.
Speaker 13: It's it's it's it's.
Speaker 15: Hearing your voices.
Speaker 13: What's if I needed it?
Speaker 3: I see that you still look like that. I'm guessing
you've managed to keep things under wraps with these people.
Speaker 15: I've them my best dude. But now that we're gonna
are you a cat?
Speaker 8: Are you a cat.
Speaker 19: That that you'd like me to be?
Speaker 15: And as Pepper.
Speaker 14: Pepper is gonna like playfully lean back, and you see
these ears all.
Speaker 15: Of a sudden, and this this this tail, this peppery
gray tail.
Speaker 13: As Pepper reveals her casadri form.
Speaker 3: I don't actually think I have the art in here,
but you you do, in fact, see a fluffy tail
appear on the I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it.
You see a fluffy, dusty tail appear on the back
of Pepper, and you also see a set of short,
uh stubborn little ears appear wide, their nails grow ever
so slightly, and you see markings begin to try themselves
onto their skin, which, if I remember correctly, they are green.
Speaker 15: They are green.
Speaker 3: They are green. Glad to say, oh my god, one second.
Speaker 6: Change accents, Brandon, They're not from.
Speaker 3: I know, it's just funny as you see their humanoid
ears disappear as you see boom, I'm.
Speaker 8: Gonna say, it's loading all the anticipation, the anti preparation.
Oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 14: Now y'all have some weird hang ups about people that
aren't the shape that y'all normally say.
Speaker 15: So I figured that that.
Speaker 12: It'd be easier your ear piercings on your kid. Saudria
ears girl girl who.
Speaker 14: Pepper's tails going a mile a minute as she's grinning
ear from your ear, clearly pleased that she was able
to keep it under reps oh.
Speaker 4: Rasy to think that if I just grabbed you higher
on the head, I probably want I grabbed your ears.
Speaker 3: There was a couple of times where people grabbed them
and I asked you guys to make certain checks to
see if you felt them, and you didn't.
Speaker 14: I know, I know, I was a little worried when
me and Lily were alone. I'll naked us was word.
They would seem my kids scratch.
Speaker 3: But ye, whenever you guys, whenever you guys were in
the spring, I made you guys make a roll to
see you notice that there was a little like blank
spot in the water behind them.
Speaker 9: Noted you want to know, you want to know a
little funny thing. I accidentally spoiled it because I looked
at the fucking party sheet.
Speaker 3: It's true, the party sheet says their race.
Speaker 9: I went, I was like, logan, why does Pepper She'd say, Casodria.
Speaker 14: Play, you know.
Speaker 9: And then and then one day I also noticed one
day I also noticed Pepper did a move. But that
was like, wait a minute, that's not on the that's
not on their And then I looked it under Cassandria.
Speaker 14: And I was like, oh, si sign been there the
signs have been there that she's a fucking cassodri those talks.
Speaker 8: But oh my god, look at but on her ascot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, goddamn, it.
Speaker 13: Feels so much better.
Speaker 4: Minds way. That's interesting. I found out when we were
rolling characters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I was rolling things for Desmond and then
bad let it slip, and I just was sworn to.
Speaker 5: God the only one who didn't know.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you went to the bathroom, and I took advantage
of that moment you.
Speaker 15: Oh, I love you, care bet what.
Speaker 6: I feel so betrayed. Oh, Brandon, you gotta stop betraying me.
I'm just I'm just gonna get you, get your away.
Speaker 13: I thought this was a treat. God forbid, this is
a treat.
Speaker 8: This is wonderful.
Speaker 3: She's hold on a seck, hold on sack, give me
a moment.
Speaker 8: You're you're a little fox person.
Speaker 13: Yeah, oh my god, oh better yet better?
Speaker 14: Yeah? Yeah, and she pops down into the tiniest little
fox you've ever seen, a little tiny fox. Pepper pepper gray,
dark little footsy paws O. Good run around Laurie and
good yes.
Speaker 13: Hold on, Gabasco. Tabasco opens his mouth. Oh yeah, now
you know.
Speaker 6: Can I pet you.
Speaker 7: Like on the I just want to know all try
and she's just like so ready to play because she's
been so kept from being able to be literally.
Speaker 15: She has been sleeping as a halfling.
Speaker 13: Doesn't like it like.
Speaker 15: When she's out, but just like it's one of those
moments where.
Speaker 14: You try to go pet a cat and clearly the
cats in like battle mode, so you go to pet
and she's like, does this count?
Speaker 6: Is animal handling?
Speaker 2: Is that racist?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 13: Uh, just scrambles over everyone's feet.
Speaker 14: And jumps up and nips it scarn snips back down,
pops up like jumps on Desmond's leg to do like
a little backflip. My god, oh my god, I pounce
on top. I do like a little I do what
basically Ox was doing before. I like the tail just
gets Desmond's face. Oh my god, she's off again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably.
Speaker 6: Totally she's going off.
Speaker 21: And okay, I'm gonna try to play a soothing song
for her on my saxophone.
Speaker 14: I run back, turn back into my kidsaphone. Sorry, Sor,
it's been hard being pant up.
Speaker 3: That was all very entertaining.
Speaker 13: You seem to see the best.
Speaker 15: In me, and for that, I'm grateful.
Speaker 3: Sir hmm, visitors from Chastam Funker Somberson. I presume if
the curse has not has not been broken on my
assistant here, I assume that you all have no idea
exactly where you are headed currently.
Speaker 8: No idea.
Speaker 15: I've been good. I've been so good I've been.
Speaker 3: You would have had to be.
Speaker 5: You got no idea what's going on.
Speaker 3: In the days, long before the Academy decided to make
magic something that should be feared by the Rettian people,
there was another organization, one that very consistently looked into
the deepest pits of magic, one that brought together the
greatest minds of each generation, brought them under one roof,
and pushed them to the limits of their arcane talents.
One that had to go into hiding and become secret
when the Academy began to turn the public perception of
the magic in on itself. Every great mind that believes
in the arcane stands now in this great city that
you are about to enter. And because of our great
affiliation with magic, our pursuit of the truth, and our
dedication to the arcane arts, it is necessary that whenever
any of us become affiliated with this place, we take
a curse on to ourselves, one that stops us from
talking about it whenever we're gone, one that does not
allow us to speak of our dealings in our business.
But now, so that you might be able to find
out exactly what your friend has been doing, and so
we may elucidate the mission that we send Pepper to
your home to accomplish. I would like to welcome you
to the home of dragons, demons, elementals, the weird, the wise,
the spectral. I welcome you. As the darkness begins to
peel away, you find yourself in what appears to be
the upper floor of a massive, wide tower. There is
a stone ceiling above you that stretches out about one
hundred feet in each direction, and below you there is
what looks to be a platform in the middle of
a ring of stairs. Out beyond, at the edges of
this place, there are pillars seemingly holding up this massive ceiling,
each of them about forty feet tall. As you appear,
you see a much different landscape. You see in the
distance there are mountains and forests that are not native
to where you're from. As you seem to have moved
a very long distance and a thin mist that seems
to hang over everything. Small motes of light, little flickers,
glimmers of light float in the air around you as
you see as this scenery overtakes where you are, and
as these faint mists around you part to reveal an individual,
legs crossed, sitting back. See another fluffy tail streaming out
behind them, much like peppers, with them sitting on it
in the air as though it was a chair. This individual,
this light bodied individual, wearing the garb of an arconist.
They're wearing what looks to be like a fusion of
a suit and something of a cloak or dress, most
of it bluish. They have similar Cazadrian ears, although they
are much longer and much more pointed, and all of
their hair and their tail have a greenish teal hue
to it that seems to shimmer and wisp. You also
notice their tail, little bits of the end of it
seem to flake off, as though their tail is a
cloud that is constantly dispersing green nails piercing pinkish violet eyes.
You see this individual standing sitting rather in the air
in front of you. It's going to take a second
as they do, I welcome you to the haulage of
gun Gooth. Come on, Oh, load in you maybe.
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 6: Oh they get their nails? Did like I get my nails?
Speaker 5: Did they do?
Speaker 3: On one hand they have On one hand they have
all green nails except their ring finger that is white.
And on the other one they have all white nails
except their ring finger, which is green.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 6: Hell yeah. Are their pronouns?
Speaker 3: They no, their pronouns are he him?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2: Although although you are asking a question in irrelevant direction
that I just was not going to bring up.
Speaker 3: But it's okay. But they are he him uh heck.
As you see them, you see them put their hands out.
I am Sorrel. I am a master and associate here
at the College of gun Gooth. I am a pursuer
of the arcane, a lover of the ethereal and spectral.
And they put their hands out. You see one hundred
copies of Sorrel appear floating around the space around you.
And I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
Speaker 13: Ah, you gotta teach me how you do that.
Speaker 3: I have attempted to teach you lots of facts.
Speaker 13: Magic that.
Speaker 15: Hey, you have more than enough ability to give me
the magic to do so much, don't.
Speaker 3: Magic of this level must be earned. One such as you,
who already tried to walk the path of such an
arconist should know that. Warlock. There, though they're chastising them,
there is a playful smirk on their face.
Speaker 14: Be that as of me, I have worked very hard,
and my magic, though it has been new, has been
used for many a powerful encounter. So even though they
may have years ahead, and he's a can my magic
just as well as any mage.
Speaker 3: Can, just as any mage can. This might not be
the right place for you to say something like that.
Speaker 14: Pepper ears down, tail like lashing very low, almost touched
between her legs.
Speaker 15: Not you, I'm in my previous classmates.
Speaker 14: I bet I could beat their asses now for all
things they said about me.
Speaker 3: Your previous classmates went on to pass their courses, Pepper,
whatn't as far as that is how you should understand
things here? Yes, I know they put one of their
hands up. Pepper would have been unable to tell you
about their history. I imagine is that something you'd like
to keep private, Pepper.
Speaker 13: They've seen how talented I I am, so I guess
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 15: They seem that I can cast spells just as well
as any other mate.
Speaker 3: They float over to you, guys, those spinning arcane rings
around you begin to settle into the ground.
Speaker 15: Don't matter where you come from, right.
Speaker 3: The College of gun Gooth takes on people as students,
although probably not in the way that you're familiar with,
more like interested minds who want to seek the arcane.
They come here to learn from the various masters and
associates who run this place, and they are allowed to
attend classes if they have a recommendation or show extreme talent.
Pepper was brought here as something of an exception. They
attempted to learn. They were put through various of our
foundational fundamental classes and then failed each and every one
of them.
Speaker 13: So I didn't have any guas in the tank. I didn't.
They're not fooded.
Speaker 15: All these other folks are just born with magic chopped
up all in them.
Speaker 3: Not everybody is born with magic. That's also quite a
wild thing for Achizadria to say.
Speaker 14: No, a lot of them are are blessed with gifts
of like like the pedal nuts, sir.
Speaker 3: Indeed, they look up towards Lilia.
Speaker 9: Dribble, scribble, She's just been scribbling the whole time, just
staring at him.
Speaker 19: Huh, we're not supposed to.
Speaker 3: May I ask what you were writing?
Speaker 17: Oh, I'm not righting and drying.
Speaker 3: May I ask what you're drawing?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 3: What's your intention with that? Mhm rips it out. I
didn't say you couldn't.
Speaker 19: I don't plan to mm hm.
Speaker 3: Trust me.
Speaker 5: She never shows what.
Speaker 14: I meant, sorrel was I just I just mean on
the sense of like those people have had their magic
and like are gifted or found it, and that just
I thought if I came, didn't have it for me, and.
Speaker 15: Now I'm able to.
Speaker 3: Not everybody has magic running through their bloods like sorcerers do.
Not everybody can connect to the world around them and
inherit divine magics through the planet like a pedal night might.
And not everybody has a mind to read magic and
understand formulas. Has a wizard or another arcanist could, which
is why the college also takes on some assistants who
make pacts and take their magic from teachers such as me, masters,
experienced individuals. The magic that you've no doubt seen Pepperdew
comes from me on a provisionary basis.
Speaker 21: I am.
Speaker 4: You're particularly good at that stuff.
Speaker 3: Then I am a master of illusions, and I imagine
you will not find another living being has such mastery
as I.
Speaker 13: And stuff.
Speaker 1: Even so, I don't know if like illusion guys are
like good at this or nothing. But we gave this
guy too gold to tell us about a rock, and
he gave us basically nothing.
Speaker 4: Do you know what this kid's rock is?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's one of the That is what Asalia had described.
I actually would like to take a look at that
while you're here. Unfortunately, my my powers in regards to
the arcane, I have a wide degree of them. Illusion
is my mastery, but I do have other talents I
probably could help to identify it. That's the rock that
you found, the gemstone that you found within the latch temple. Correct, Yeah, yes,
I will be wanting to see that. And they like
their hand out to you.
Speaker 8: I looked at Desmond.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean why not?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 3: Here, As you put it in their hand, there is
a sudden twisting of space around all of you as
the area that you're in seems to peel away and warp,
and you find there's a very small amount of spatial
momentum as when it returns back to being solid, you
all sort of lurch forward slightly. Just as Lawrence is
putting the rock in their hand. They sort of lean
into it by accident. As you all find yourself on
a massive bridge connecting two towers, as opposed to being
within a structure. You're currently about six hundred.
Speaker 4: Feet in the air.
Speaker 3: On top of this bridge, and you see a sprawling
city surrounded by a veil of mist below you, with
one incredibly massive fortress like the building made of spires,
and one huge cathedral like structure at its center spanning
around you. As they touch the rock, and they take
it as if they weren't aware that the scenery around
them had changed.
Speaker 4: Port of view.
Speaker 3: This is the College, not to be mistaken with a
single building. This is an entire civilization of sorts, a
full city. I also wanted to bring your attention to
the fact that I wouldn't try to do anything untoward here.
Moments ago you were in Chastam Funker Sumberson, but I
assure you you are nowhere near your home.
Speaker 14: Now.
Speaker 3: Do anything untoward here, take any notes, steal anything, try
to harm anyone that you shouldn't. And even if you escaped.
I wanted you to be aware that you would likely
never find your way home. Have I made myself clear.
Speaker 5: You haven't given me a reason to so I have
no reason to God thumbs up.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, Pepper.
Speaker 13: Sorrel.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid that well you're here. I had hoped that
I might be able to arrange for you to go
to see your family as well, but they haven't quite
been moved over here yet, and given the resources needed,
I'm afraid we won't be able to. But I wanted
you to know that, with how everything is going, I
have convinced the upper management of the college to begin
to the paperwork to get them here. Really.
Speaker 15: Yes, Oh, and they're all doing good.
Speaker 8: They're all doing you know.
Speaker 13: Okay, that's my kind of the college at Who do
who do I gotta think?
Speaker 3: Besides, I suppose you would have to think ax Salia. Really,
after you came back from your last dive and had
so much information to give us about the situation in
Gilligan's pitt Aux, Salia recommended that we take some steps
to further encourage you to keep up the good work.
Speaker 14: That's a that's a mighty way to do. So are
they going to be like, I understand we're doing the paperwork,
but like, are are are we gonna They're not?
Speaker 13: How long are they.
Speaker 3: Going to be in the strack lands for I can't
imagine more than a few weeks.
Speaker 15: We're almost there. Okay, okay, h thank you, sol.
Speaker 3: You're very welcome. There's another twisting of space around all
of you, and you find yourself in what appears to
be a private study. As all of you like lurch
forward and fall back. You fall onto the comfiest couches
and chairs that you've ever experienced in your life, a
warm Hogwarts inner office esque room that is very tall,
very warm. There is a fire burning in a massive fireplace.
On the side. There are small conveniences floating through the air,
like at one point, as you land, sorrel uncurls their
tail and sits in a normal chair as a small
plate and a cup of tea floats over to beside them,
and they just take it without looking at it out
of the air. As this happens, other drinks and other
plates and such begin floating towards all of you as
a without looking up at you. They've just been inspecting
the two halves of the stone that were given to
them by LORI. Theyre's like, would you all like anything
while you're here?
Speaker 13: Do you still got that like big thing of chairs
for me?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: Cheers?
Speaker 14: Giant full of cherries against the flute? Oh I see, Okay,
it's a double reference. I don't know what you want
from me, and I know how to tell.
Speaker 13: To fit this the stems and the tongue real good.
So it's you know, it's a trick.
Speaker 8: M Can you show us?
Speaker 14: H oh?
Speaker 13: Just eating cherries?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Is that is that the trick? You're eating cherries?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 8: I go eat your first.
Speaker 19: Cherries?
Speaker 6: Was like, okay, tea, did she do it?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 15: I clip, I fucking did.
Speaker 4: Jack, I don't know, it's not that.
Speaker 6: What's this cansadery's tongue decks?
Speaker 13: Mind? You're damn Ben. You're not the one that find.
Speaker 15: Out down.
Speaker 12: Okay, fine, that's what's uh that's the price word?
Speaker 8: You learn how to do that?
Speaker 25: Oh?
Speaker 13: Pacas?
Speaker 2: I like it?
Speaker 13: What It's a lot of practice.
Speaker 15: Okay, could I older one? I mean I started learning
how to do when I was like your age.
Speaker 8: Okay, should do it?
Speaker 15: Well, you take the stem and then you put him
out and you by him.
Speaker 6: Okay, wait, I gonna need some of your series.
Speaker 8: Can I have some of your shares?
Speaker 17: Oh?
Speaker 15: Yeah, they're just on here. You're kids. Okay, okay, Dedmond,
do you want to?
Speaker 4: I would love it.
Speaker 15: I give him a cherry than you.
Speaker 27: Can you tie it and all with your I just
hold it in my hand and turn back to So anyways,
we'll take all the time you want.
Speaker 3: You can enjoy the amenities as much as you wish to.
I'm unfortunately not gonna be able to allow any of
you to head down into the actual town, so you're
limited to mike quarters within my tower. But I I'm
I don't have guests very often in here, so I'm
happy to have company. Besides, I've got a bit to
tell all of you, so feel free to relax, embrace yourself,
I suppose.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna keep practicing this. You tell us all
the things that we need to know.
Speaker 3: It allow me to start with the relevance of Pepper
and exactly why it is that somebody from here has
found themselves within your townper originates from the Strike Lands.
They and their family have lived nomadically there for a
long time, wandering around. They wanted to get out of
the Strike lands, but unfortunately doing that is not terribly
easy given the state of the place, especially with the
growing unrest with a certain foreign empress laying claim to it. Indeed,
frigid bitch is a apt description of her hm hm
as I will no no, oh, try.
Speaker 15: Up and come, and new management.
Speaker 3: Being invaded by a particularly hostile.
Speaker 13: Woman her name.
Speaker 12: I wonder who it could be.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 5: That's said.
Speaker 3: Pepper and their family wish to leave, so they reached
out to someone who might be able to help, which
is where I come in. I am Pepper's uncle.
Speaker 13: This uncle, okay, no, you go ahead.
Speaker 14: Well, and I've been willing from lack child and stuff
I just heard about, like oh, Uncle Sora.
Speaker 13: But bless his heart, he's gone on to biggerroom, bitter things.
He's gone on to the big old town we never have.
Speaker 3: It's true. I've been alive for a very long time,
and I had not met Pepper actually until any of
this happened.
Speaker 13: Nope, and you took a chance on me, sir, and
approved to be fine a.
Speaker 3: Failure, yeap ow. So to move their family here. The
college would have been willing to do so. But those
who live here must have some connection to the masters
and associates that run within the college, to the to
the weblorn that helped to ease it, or must work
here in some capacity as an assistant. So I don't
know why they picked Pepper, but they decided to send
Pepper here to enroll as a student. If they could
learn the Arcane Ways and prove to be a use
to the college, then their family would be moved here
and allowed to live in the residential area. Pepper then
proceeded to not prove to be an asset to the college.
They were not able to retain any of the information
they were taught in any of their classes. None of
the other mages and arcanists who teach here, out of
the kindness of their hearts, were able to drill any
information into their head. They have no talent as a sorcerer,
They have no innate magics within their blood. They are
not able to memorize magical theorems, and they are not
able to produce the effects of natural or primal magic.
So we hit something of a wall. We decided the
best way to go would be to do something we
do quite often here, which is to allow them to
act as an agent of the college. By forming a
we allow certain people to take on magics here by
becoming warlocks with a sort of student loan, sort of sense.
I offered my own abilities. I am connected to them,
I'm signed on with them, and to prove that they
would be an asset, we chose a particularly difficult mission,
something that would require leaving the college to test them,
which is where arriving at your town came in. There
have been strange magical happenings underneath Gilligan's Pit. That place
has long been a hive for strange underground activities. There
are lay lines that get bound up there, and recently
we had discovered that there were some strange, odd flows
of energy. It would be difficult to explain, but the
natural magics of the world are getting twisted up there.
Something we call idomantic radiation. Here started to behave erratically,
so we wanted somebody to go and investigate. So we
sent Pepper with one of my associates, Aksalia, to watch
after them and act as an in between. And at
this point I'm very glad that we did, because all
of you seem to have stumbled onto something more interesting
than we thought it would be. So in that sense, Pepper,
You've proven to be very useful as an associate and
as a hired hand. You should be proud of that.
Speaker 14: It's just like whatever I mean, I want to I
want to be able to do as much as I
can for the college, and the whole time her tale
is just wagging up the praise from sourel.
Speaker 15: H Thank you, sir.
Speaker 3: Yes, Now we get to the more complicated and more
unfortunate news, which is it appears that the College of
gun Gooth has had more involvement there than we had thought.
The name Ethicus was sent back, and if I'm going
to be honest, that's the entire reason why I felt
it necessary for all of you to know Pepper's full
mission and what we were doing, because it has though
their information on them was sealed and I never met
them personally. Having looked into it, Ethicus is the name
of a person who once studied here, an actually very
talented dark elf, one who was looking into some things
that were decided after the fact to be taboo.
Speaker 8: What I'm looking at scarn like ah what, sir.
Speaker 3: Ethicus excelled in the field of necromancy, which I understand
to those of you who come from a non magical background.
That may sound alarming, but plenty of things are necromantic
without being actively destructive. We have many professors, many associates,
and many masters who are all experts in necromancy, and
they are the kindest individuals that you'll ever meet, as
long as they are terribly hungry. I mean, hmmm. So
that in itself isn't a problem. It's what they were
researching in private that was the problem. And I've spoken
to Pepper well through Auxalia a bit about this. It
seems that they were looking into specifically former incarnations of
the god of undeath, Gotham. I assume Pepper hasn't passed
any of this information along. You know, Gotham themselves, once
a powerful necromancer who threw themselves into the pits of
the hells to try to achieve a godlike state and
control of it. Found themselves, upon achieving godhood, locked out
of the material plane. They are bound to the forces
of undeath and believe that undeath is a way to
escape from the confines of reincarnation. Mortals live in a
constant state of going through their mortal lives, dying, passing
to an after life, and then living their time there
until their soul is ready to be reincarnated again. There
is a limited number of souls, so this recycle of
reincarnation is necessary. Gotham believes that those who are freed
from it, who are allowed to exist eternally and undeath,
are truly free, not bound to constantly become new beings.
Speaker 4: Over and over.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, for Gotham, there is the divine curtain. Gods are
not able to easily incarnate in the material plane, which
is where Gotham would like to operate, so they work
mostly through their cult. Gotham frequently attempts to make bodies
for themselves that are suitable to try to appear so
they can continue their work in the material world. But
because they are a god of undeath, they only truly
can inhabit undead bodies, and their very soul, the essence
of their divine power causes those bodies to rot relatively quickly.
Ethicus was looking into former incarnations of Gotham and apparently
looking into ways to circumvent that limitation to make a
body for Gotham that would last longer, and I believe
they may have stumbled upon a way to do it.
From a young age to make a body, to adapt
it so that it grows with a piece of Gotham
inside of them, so that they are compatible, so that
Gotham may take on a living body that is used
to its presence. Specifically, Ethicus was looking into taking former
pieces of the bodies of Gotham's dead incarnations and surgically
implanting them inside of children so that whenever they were grown,
they might serve as suitable hosts.
Speaker 6: That's super fucked um.
Speaker 3: Indeed, we didn't know about that act that research until
afterwards because Ethicus, we didn't so much find out what
they were doing as much as they simply vanished one day,
much like Pepper. They had come here giving their family
some shelter. They served here while their family lived in
the residential area. It seems that their family disappeared around
the same time that they did, and we didn't hear
from Ethachas again after that. We seized and sealed their research.
Though we believe that all manner of gods and demons
and angels are it's fair that they walk in the
material world, and we wouldn't hinder them. Got them from
a purely intellectual and academic standpoint is not someone who
we agree fundamentally with. We don't dislike them as a
god of undeath, we dislike them as a scholar, so
we would prefer they not be in the world at large.
They give mages and necromance. There's a particularly bad name. Yeah,
and it seems with their name coming up and the
report of the Hattisland woman who was attempting to allow
something into her body, with the nature of the necromantic
rituals and the use of idomancy I'll explain later. As
he holds up half of the orb, we can surmise
that the Court of Decay has raised what they believe
to be a suitable host and they are attempting to
perform a ritual to allow Gotham to inhabit it. You
seem to have stopped them from doing so, though, and
I'd like to hear more about that.
Speaker 6: I'm just I'm looking at Scarn.
Speaker 8: How's you look.
Speaker 5: Scarn at this point has dialed the fucking in like
a anxiety hand thing. Yeah, where it's he's holding it
in everywhere, but like half of his face and his
hand mm hmm. And it is very much anger rage.
Speaker 8: So you're telling me try to grab his wrist.
Speaker 5: This ethiciss a dark elfis researcher here, that's right.
Speaker 13: Master.
Speaker 3: Of course, when they were here, I want to restate,
we didn't know the nature of what they were looking into.
Those who teach here, the masters and associates and such,
they are encouraged to pursue their own research as secretively
as they must, and they are asked to teach others
here as I do, as we attempted to do with Pepper,
to try to pass on knowledge. But the college is
not a place you graduate from. It's a place you
graduate into, and this place attempts to foster and grow
arcane studies. In that sense, Ethicas seemed to be making
great strides, so we encouraged him. While he was here.
It seemed like he was only looking into the fundamentals
of necromancy. His actual research lay undetected until after he
had left Ops.
Speaker 5: And this Ethicus he seemed to have any other people
around him, his family?
Speaker 3: Who are they when he came here? Originally he came
here only with a wife. That wife, I haven't actually
tracked much information about them yet. I'm still unsealing most
of the information about them. After Ethicus had left. Much
of everything we knew about them was made incredibly confidential,
and to be confidential here means a bit more than
it does outside. It can be dangerous to unseal things. However,
we do know that well they were here, Ethicus had
a child, and it was shortly after that that they disappeared.
Speaker 19: Of course, oh so much for giving out of it
of a doubt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my bad.
Speaker 6: As news wanted to see the best in people. That's
really nice, but yeah.
Speaker 3: Among those I have spoken to about this, there are
two prevailing theories about what happened with Ethicus and why
he left. Because he was undetected, he had no reason
to flee. The first is that his family may have
threatened to out him if they discovered what he did,
and in order to avoid that, left here, fearing that
there might have been contingencies put in place by them
in case something happened. He may not have returned in
case somebody else knew what he was doing. In that case,
it is likely that his family fled him and he
may have pursued them. The other is that he was
using his family for his purposes. The fact that he
a newly born child and left soon after they were
born can't be a coincidence. Given his research, we believe
it's possible that he attempted to use his child for
the purposes of his research, and that he either got
what he wanted and left, or it failed and he
had to dispose of the family he had. We do
know that while he was here, Ethicus spoke at length
about the fundamental flaws of mortality and how the many
races that walk in Somnos DaMina live different lives. That
it was unfortunate that an elf who might fall in
love with a human, for example, would be forced to
watch them die in a fraction of their lifetime. He
seemed concerned with evening that playing field. I'm still trying
to uncover information about his wife, but I suppose that
may come from the fact that he may.
Speaker 5: Have had a wife who would have died.
Speaker 3: Long before him, and perhaps necromancy would have been his
answer to that. Baxalia told me a little bit about you,
that there was a goliath with dark elf blood who
was involved, indeed, who was having a visceral reaction to
this ritual. And so I'm sure you've already considered the
possibility of what your connection of this might be.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's not a possibility at this point, it's all
but guaranteed.
Speaker 3: Then you believe that you're a child of Ethicus, and.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I was experimented on.
Speaker 3: Well you're here. There is a way that we could
confirm that. I believe that the reason that it was
Ethicus came here to do his research was because it
gave him access to a particular storehouse. We like to
take things that the Academy might have interest in because
the outside world often burns away information that we think
should be preserved. Specifically, one of the things that we
do is we have members dedicated to finding the remains
of deities and their incarnations and sealing them away here
in such a way that they will be useful for
our research and of no danger to anybody else. Gods
leave behind a great deal of power sometimes when they
take physical form and abandon it. The cadaver left behind,
even if it's just fragments, can be used for nefarious purposes,
and no doubt, in previous occasions where Gotham has incarnated
on more than a couple of them, the Academy or
the College here we have found ourselves to be at
odds with them and even done battle with Gotham, And
in those cases we retrieve what remained of the bodies.
We believe it's those incarnation remains that ethicists came here
to get access to. So if you have a reaction
to Gotham's body, all we need to do is put
you near that particular set of remains, and if you
have a reaction, we have our confirmation.
Speaker 5: I guess there's nothing else to do. But then at
this point, I basically already know.
Speaker 3: That raises a question, though, a question if you were
a success, why were you abandoned?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Why was I abandoned? If you just wanted another
body that he could use. I'm I've been reacting this
whole time. What is was I left for?
Speaker 4: Unless I don't know that you were.
Speaker 5: I still know nothing about my mom.
Speaker 3: For now. I'm sorry. Continue, It's possible that.
Speaker 5: Wish for thinking here. But maybe my mom had a
change of heart. Like Lilia said, there's no way a
mom could deal with that with her child being experimented on.
Speaker 1: Pretty big coincidence at the next batch of kids he
brings in or also in the PIDs, though exactly.
Speaker 3: Ah the Hattisland triplets. The thing is they would have
been before you.
Speaker 5: Exactly. They're older. Wait a minute, of.
Speaker 3: Course, if Ethicus was going to attempt to do experiments
on their child, perhaps they needed proof of concept first.
If your mother did try to protect you, maybe the
others were prepared as a sort of prototype to prove
that somebody could survive having a peace of a god
put inside of them, and then once they had confirmed
it would work. Maybe he attempted to use you because
he wanted it to be someone in his family. He
did seem interested in keeping his loved ones alive. Maybe
he was trying to give you a gift from his perspective.
But then if your mother took you, if your mother
took you away, took you out of his reach, perhaps
he simply regressed back to using his prototype.
Speaker 4: He broke.
Speaker 3: Don't fix it, which means that, sister, regardless of your
relationship with Ethicus, if this all lines up, they are
willing to become an aspect of Gotham, and we can't
allow that to happen. Such a body could last Gotham
an entire lifetime, and we can't allow him to wander
the material plane in physical form. That was my thought too,
not without an extensive written apology to everything he's done
to the college. At least he holds up the gem
Colin dright, his eyes turn over toward Lawrence. This is
called colindritelandrite. It is a form of a material called sepherite,
but it's a bit of an offshoot. What's important for
you to know about it is that those latch temples,
based on what we know about similar structures, they were
effectively made to facilitate the central of a ritual. They're
like the programming core, with the entire temple being something
of an arcane engine. While we've been talking, I've been
digging into the magic of this one. Its purpose is
to turn the water systems that exist underground around Gilligan's
Pit and the surrounding areas into a retrieval mechanism. They
trap a certain supernatural force that's in the air there
and they pull it back further underground. As they do
and they pass through the temple, they all pour down
into a central area, likely some sort of large reservoir
was prepared for this purpose, and as they pass through
that area, that force I talked about, that supernatural element
which I haven't fully identified just yet is stored inside
of the colondrite. It's a filter as it does this,
though it also traps idomatic radiation magic beyond magic, so
to those who know how to use it, it stores
up vast amounts of energy. One type of energy is
related to what are called the Grand Primaries. I won't
bother you with the details, but it's a form of
magic that is beyond both gods and the arcane. It
makes sense why they would try to use this to
get past the divine curtain, because it's not the kind
of thing the curtain normally filters. It makes a sort
of blind spot the spirit of a god might be
able to pass through, and otherwise. It also serves as
a massive battery. The radiation stored inside of it could
be used in the ritual to facilitate magic many many,
many times larger than what the cult would normally be.
Speaker 4: Able to do on their own. Broken.
Speaker 3: What does it mean for the water, It means that
temple is no longer working. It means that whatever it
was trying to hold back may start to flow forward.
But Axalia told me that part of the report was
that there were three gods mentioned that that one was
built by the following the followers of Mortuus a long
time ago, and that one of the inscriptions that was
down there also mentioned Destimus and chan Karigosh, which means
there's likely three of these temples if they were built
under the orders of the Idolins, by these gods and
their followers. I imagine they built three, because they suppose
that with mortals and our grabby little hands that like
to touch everything and take it apart, that eventually one
or two of these temples would fail. So you're probably
still fine.
Speaker 4: Is it possible to repair.
Speaker 3: The creation of this of Cepherite? It's somewhat lost. It's
possible if the Idolans directly intervened. We could, in theory
ask Vestius, and luckily here at the College we have
a bit of a direct line to Vestius. They're one
of our greatest sponsors. But even so, this is not
the kind of thing it can be made quickly. It's
the kind of thing that takes many lifetimes to make.
Speaker 1: So that's to make a new one. Couldn't We couldn't, like,
I don't know, glue this one back together or something.
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, can we fix it.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid this one is completely dead. Sometimes the form
of a thing is important, and once it broke, it
ceased being something that could go back to being what
it was. Am I supposed to activate these things? It
lightly requires a very powerful charge the ritual that turns
it on in a sense, and we simply don't have
access to the knowledge of what went into that.
Speaker 1: You guys know about the other two that it's likely
they do as well. What's to stop them from just
moving their rituals down deeper.
Speaker 3: That's precisely why I wanted to talk to all of you.
It's likely they'll try again. Destimus the Great Engine, a
god who is involved with many advancements in technology. They
likely have a temple there that is guarded by some
kind of technological barrier. And chan Keragosh, one of Vestius's
most trusted lesser deities, also to my understanding, a patron
god of your town. If they have those there, that
means that they're going to go after one of them,
and I imagine with chan Karragosh's presence being stronger, they're
probably going to go after the temple of Destimus first.
There would be less in its way and the god
would have less presence. That's said it is curious to
me that there is an ancient temple of Chan Karragosh
that is there. That temple predates your town. I think
it may have been used as a center of operations
back when these temples are being built, which means, though
it's probably guarded as a close secret, your temple likely
has some information on where to get to one of
these temples. And that might seem like good news, but
it raises a problem, that being that from what I understand,
those Hattis and triplets who are definitely connected to all
of this, they already have a presence in that temple.
Speaker 15: One of them works at the temple.
Speaker 3: M Oxalia's reports have been that one is dead, and
I have theories about that. It's possible they may have
died to onset complications with what it was that Ethicus
was doing to them. It's also possible they effaked their
death and they're the one that was trying to incarnate,
but I don't feel like that's as strong of a possibility.
Speaker 1: Symptoms described to us by h Munteris, the sister who
works at the temple, they match the symptoms of Laurie's
late mother. Granted, the outcomes have been slightly different, Lawrence.
You still remember your mother, You still remember.
Speaker 4: Their name and things about them, right, Yeah? There anything shaky?
Speaker 8: Would there be god.
Speaker 3: Memories of your mother?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Does anything like fat?
Speaker 3: You don't seem to be missing anything, Okay, not as
far as you know. But if the thing about that
and about memory is if you were missing some you wouldn't.
Speaker 12: Know, you wouldn't be able to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless it was something obviously a name, Yeah, like
a name, Yeah, all the basic details you you seem
to have memories of.
Speaker 19: Okay, there aren't two.
Speaker 8: I still remember her name still. I think I still
remember everything.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So you were saying there are two culprits.
Speaker 3: There are two possibilities for what might be affecting your
town and the memories of those in them, one of
which might be related to these temples, though I haven't
clearly identified it. There's an ancient disease. It's not as
prominent these days, but it's making a resurgent called amniosis
one that is the result of let's call it an
ancient primordial deity going awry. That's not a proper explanation,
but as far as you need to know, a former
dead god left an echo in the world in the
form of a disease that takes the memories of mortals.
As far, all you need to know about it is
that it is a that steals memories. I believe that
may actually be what the temples are cleaning out of
the area that disease transfers mostly apart from by blood
through miasma. We think that the purpose of these temples
was that the water captures the miasma and drags it
down under the earth. The other possibility. Are you familiar
with a town called Darklin?
Speaker 4: Are we yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were told about it recently. One of the
Undershot clan told us about it.
Speaker 3: Adu regard civilization that was given a gift an invader
who took away all of their pain and sadness, replaced
their unfortunate memories things they didn't like with ones that
were more pleasant, toyed with them. To what end we
don't know, but we know the story of Darklin. Eventually
it grew bored with Darklin, though, and it destroyed it,
scattering those du Regard. We believe that your town, and
this is part of why I sent Pepper there to
investigate in the in the first place, is that that
parasite has come further up from below ground and is
doing the same thing to the people of your town.
I believe there are two memory affecting phenomena that are
going on at once. One of them is not actually
making it up to you, but it is maybe infecting people.
That is amniasis. It hasn't overtaken your town, but there
might be some cases of it there. Axalia told me
there are people at the clinic there who are showing
signs of it. And the second is that there is
a mental parasite attempting to make the people of your
town happy by hiding their tragedies by changing the memories
of not just individuals, but of everybody else around them.
Somebody dies and brings grief they're soon forgotten about. Somebody
loses a friend at war or suffers a terrible tragedy.
Soon they move on. It's not that they're happy about
what happened. It's that they remember the world differently, so
that they were never sad to begin with. I don't
know what would gain from that, but it seems that
might be in effect. Given these two contrasting memory altering effects,
it's a bit hard to pin down what in your
town is what. However, your Hattisland triplets, they are aware
that they have forgotten things. If it were the parasite,
that wouldn't make sense, not unless they had the force
of will to fight back against it. In their case,
for example, if the sadness of losing their sibling would
have made them so distraught, the parasite would have simply
made them forget they ever had a sibling to begin with.
Speaker 11: Do you know more about the parasite, like if you're
affected by it, is it like just the memory thing
or would there be other symptoms like would you seem sick?
Speaker 3: Probably not. With the parasite, it wants to keep its
host as happy as possible. And I will note I'm
using the term parasite loosely. It's more of a supernatural
effect over a large area. It's not like something that's
in your body, but you would likely the symptoms would
simply be living a normal life. Whatever it is, it
seems intent on making people well adjusted and happy until
it gets bored with them, like it did in Darkland vexing. Normally,
when something makes people happy like that, it comes forth
to demand some kind of payment or worship.
Speaker 14: The Usually it want books, you know, stuff like that
wants something, Yeah, so it must sell me something else.
Speaker 8: What if somebody was giving it something.
Speaker 3: Maybe we've done extensive research into finding out if it's
an arcanist performing some kind of experiment. But it's been
happening for hundreds upon hundreds of years. That's a long time,
even for those that are effectively immortal. And also we
would probably have found out if somebody from here was
doing that. We know that they're not, or at least
we can be very confident that they're not. The behavior
is not entirely out of line with certain types of creatures,
though that kind of thing is more common in the
Fay Realm. For example, forcing creatures to experience unbridled eternal
joy is something that realms of Delight will sometimes inflict
upon those who wander into the world of fairies. But
it's not taking people to the Fay Realm, so that
somewhat rules that out. At this point, I'm just spinning
my wheels. There's a lot about this that even we
don't know.
Speaker 1: Is there any precautions we could take? Is there something
that I don't know? You guys have studied mind altering effects.
I suppose it's the word.
Speaker 3: In order to come or oh no, go ahead, finish
your thought just.
Speaker 4: More than us. I'm not exactly a major or anything.
Speaker 3: Well, in order to combat this kind of thing, one
would have to be able to perceive it. One of
the problems is that even the people that are here
can't fully comprehend it. Although if you were able to
see such things, if you were familiar with worlds that
had mentally scarring or debilitating effects, you might be able
to do something to counter it, although interacting with it
would be difficult. And I believe there's somebody in your
town that knows a bit more about that than you've
been able to find out. Auxalia has told me that
there was a man who approached one of you and
performed some kind of ritual on you, a man that
goes by the name of Sutun.
Speaker 13: That's a feller that Lawrence.
Speaker 3: When you met, they pulled something away from you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I felt really sad.
Speaker 3: It seems like this person soon appears more sensitive to
this than even we would be, and as such they
seem to be able to interact with it. But from
Pepper's but Axalia's reports from Pepper, from all of you,
soon as also being cagey about it.
Speaker 8: Yes, thank yeah right, Relia. Scoring guys interacted with him more.
Speaker 5: Didn't seem to be able to talk about it at all.
Speaker 3: Could you describe what happened whenever he attempted to? If
he did, seems like time just didn't exist when he
said things. One second we'd be talking to him, he
would mention something, and then we would be past the
time he was talking.
Speaker 19: Time would like cut and skip.
Speaker 3: Ah, I see, I'm sad to say. It looks like
whatever this is, it has you two under its thrall.
I would imagine that it probably has safeguards in place
so that it can avoid being discovered. So what was
probably happening, if I had to wager a guess, is
that Saoon was being very direct with you and telling
you specifically what he meant to say, and what.
Speaker 19: Likely happened can't help.
Speaker 3: What happened likely had nothing to do with Soon. It
was probably that after you had been told the truth,
the parasite likely simply wiped your memory of the period
in which you heard it. I suppose that would be
frustrating for Soon as well, if your entire town is
under its sway, No matter how much he attempted to
tell anybody, nobody would ever remember him to do so.
Speaker 4: Couldn't we bring him someplace like here?
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's an effective range. You might
still be under its sway even here. The fact that
I'm telling you all about this comes with the fact
that I don't know for certain what I'm talking about.
Although the College of gun Guth also has certain charms
and protections. That said fascinating idea. I wonder if we
could use those together. If you were to bring sa
Un here, I would be able to ask him about
why it is he can interact with it. He seemed
to be able to see a physical manifestation of this
around Lawrence. At this moment, you see storld becomes start,
stops looking at any of you, and he is this
like finger on chin, looking up and just talking to themselves.
They seem to have had some connection to it that
allowed them to pull it away from Lawrence and free
Lawrence from it temporarily, which means that they might have
a way to interact with it that would make so
n some kind of supernatural entity in all of themselves.
I would like to talk to them for several reasons.
Speaker 8: Like did I have it? Do I still have it?
Speaker 3: I think what I likely occurred is that you were
probably in the early stages of its sinking into you.
So Une would probably go around ripping it out of
people if he had the ability to do so. So
it must have been early enough with you that it
wouldn't cause damage or it was weak. He likely did that,
and that's why you felt sad afterwards, because things about
your memories that were making you sad were being suppressed.
They saved you from having things that made you sad
erased from your mind. In other words, so Une made
it so that you remember your mother.
Speaker 8: Oh you know?
Speaker 15: Sure?
Speaker 8: A way to tell?
Speaker 3: Who knows?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 13: I get soon. I'll take a look at you.
Speaker 12: He's been cagey about stuff. You didn't even tell me
why you did that in the first place.
Speaker 3: You still might be under its effect to the point
that if he tried to reveal any information about it,
it might aggressively come after you more.
Speaker 8: I don't want to't forget a public more.
Speaker 15: You're not gonna. I'm gonna try to try to help as.
Speaker 19: Much as we can.
Speaker 4: We can figure out why he's able to do it.
Speaker 1: We might not be able to help a lot of
people short term, but it's going to be very difficult
to look out for other people figure out exactly what
this cult is doing. Anything traumatic happening is suppressed. Twin
or triplets peace they if they're under its effect, they're
directly losing valuable information for us. Knowing more about the
third sister would be extremely helpful.
Speaker 14: It seems like it.
Speaker 3: This parasite is also probably responsible for why the cult
has been able to act so aggressively. From what I understand,
they have been there for at least a decade, likely
blood much longer if Ethicus has in fact been involved there.
But anytime they steal anybody off the streets to do
their experiments, hurt anybody, this parasite likely removed those memories
to make people happy. They've been piggybacking off of this thing,
covering their tracks.
Speaker 4: Did ethicists choose the pits because of it?
Speaker 3: I believe Ethicus likely chose the pits because of the temples.
Speaker 4: It's a convenient side.
Speaker 13: Benefit then, yeah, no kidding, How lucky do you have
to beat it? How of that type of stuff erased
without you.
Speaker 15: Doing nothing about it?
Speaker 3: Indeed, the good news is now that we have revealed
our existence to you, and you understand Pepper's mission. You
understand how paramount it is that you go to the
remaining temples, find out as much as you can, and
hopefully stop them from destroying the Colondrites that are likely there.
So I ask, are you okay with working with us now?
Knowing that we are the greatest enemies that your culture
has propped up. We are the arcane threat that's going
to end the world according to your academy? Will you
bend the knee and work for us for the benefit
of your town.
Speaker 1: I don't like that phreezing, but I don't care about
whatever it is you do. H If you want to help,
that's that's good.
Speaker 4: I'll work with you for that.
Speaker 1: I don't really much care about the academy either, but
they tend to leave the pits mostly alone castom funk
or number sons not exactly in the way of travel.
And I would be remiss to call us a tourist
hotspot M like a tourist soft spot perhaps.
Speaker 3: And Lilia, if you work with us, we can promise
that we may be able to help you with the
issue of that unmarked grave. M also your homes in danger.
Speaker 19: But yeah, I know that.
Speaker 17: You know in any good narrative of personal goal is
also just as good as an overarching one.
Speaker 3: Duh, that's true. Plus, from what I've heard, you might
be the easiest way for us to talk to so Un.
Speaker 19: I I am not a tool for you to get
to Satun.
Speaker 15: You know you're pretty face. It works, It works kind
of the same.
Speaker 6: She just like shut her book, just like it.
Speaker 17: While I do want to get to the bottom of
this mystery and also learn a bit more about Satoon
and that unmarked grave.
Speaker 19: I don't want to feel like amusing a new pony.
Speaker 4: And do you feel the flowers? Probably dark than after
all we've heard.
Speaker 17: Right, it's possible. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm not in
It's just I don't know. Something feels slimy.
Speaker 4: And I don't like the phrasing pin in the knee, Hm,
you're the empire.
Speaker 3: Polite society tends to see our college as the epitome
of the end of the world. The academy is convinced
people that magic is going to bring about another great
disaster like the fall of the Simonian Empire, So we
find it's better to approach outsiders with the understanding that
we're not terribly desirable. We have no desire to end
the world as you know it, but we would love
to transform it into something better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that doesn't bother me. I got a lot. There's
a latch toun pack there, and I don't have the
mental fortitude to do that right now.
Speaker 5: Hmm.
Speaker 3: I suppose in any case, what happens with your town
doesn't put us any further or closer to our overall goals.
Speaker 1: We just want to resultso going on there, And you know,
I don't even if you were just bad guys. If
you're bad guys doing good things, then you know we'll
figure out what to do about you later.
Speaker 4: Not that I'm sure I could. You just made us
fly wherever we are.
Speaker 15: You're very far from where we were.
Speaker 4: I'd say, this is how.
Speaker 15: I got to where we were.
Speaker 1: Under the worst of circumstances, you're out of my pay grade,
and under the best of circumstances, I'd rather just take
care of my town good.
Speaker 3: And Lawrence to retain those precious memories of your mother.
Speaker 4: And your father.
Speaker 1: If you forget your mom and forget her notes when
you told you about your dad, you'd be an orphan.
Speaker 3: A person's history and the tragedies that they've gone through
are foundational to making them want to be better. Some
people are crippled by sadness, that's true. But some people
take tragedy and they turn it into something better, fuel
to try to never be put in that position again,
or to achieve greater things. For those purposes, this thing
that's trying to get inside your head is the enemy
of innovation, and so we would like to help you
get rid of it. Your sadness, your past that's yours.
It has no right to take it from you, wouldn't
you agree?
Speaker 15: You and think about the magic you love.
Speaker 14: So we see it as something that should room untained
and be learned and loved, not like the academy who
wants to hinder it. Sometimes for a good purpose, otherwise
just because.
Speaker 11: Yeah, if everybody here wants to do it, does many
things the mess thing you do, and I'll get to
remember my mom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and finally, yeah, scarn. Asking you is merely a formality,
but to get to the bottom of what Ethicus is
doing and to find out what part you played in
their life. Will you help us.
Speaker 5: As long as you let me get to him first.
Speaker 3: We highly encourage people to pursue their own highly personal goals.
Vendettas can fuel a person to do great things as
far as we're concerned, as long as his attempts to
give give Gotham a proper body are foundationally squashed, you
can do whatever you want with him. Of course, if
you leave him alive, we will clean up the mess.
Speaker 5: You won't have to worry about that.
Speaker 3: Glad to hear I appreciate your ruthlessness. In that case,
we will continue our research here, and we would like
all of you to go back, proceed as you were,
and try to find out the location of these remaining
two temples. Also, these Hattison triplets seem to be the
most connected to Ethicus. Try to use that information as
you would to try to find out about them. Keep
an eye out for any cases where your memories or
those around you seem to lapse. Anytime you think you
don't trust your own memory.
Speaker 5: Be aware of that.
Speaker 3: It's possible if these triplets do have a piece of
a God inside of them, a former incarnation. The reason
that this thing might not be able to fully sink
its teeth into them might be that it has trouble
with things that are more complicated than your regular mortal.
If that's true, then Scarn, you might have a degree
of resistance to it. For example, probably not perfect, but
you might be able to see through it, perhaps recall
memories through the veil of what it's trying to trick you. Similarly,
those two Hattisland triplets that remain, they might be able
to operate, resisting it forgetting only something like their sister's name,
but being aware enough of the fact that they had
a sister that they can continue to operate. So just
be aware, yes, sir, right, hm, Lawrence? Do you want
the return of Colondrit in its current state? It would
make you be interesting to research, but not so much
that we would demand that we take it from you.
Do you want it?
Speaker 12: I mean I don't think I could really do anything with.
Speaker 5: It, could I? Well?
Speaker 3: Sepharite is a condensed form of idomantic radiation mate solid,
meaning that if magic were to flow through this, it
could be used. How do I best describe this? You
could use these as a bomb?
Speaker 6: Yeah, gimme.
Speaker 3: They clack together, uh, and you see them kind of
magnetized together and they just float back over toward you.
The way it is now you probably have two shots. Okay,
I'm not exactly sure what they'll do. Magical energy that
passes through them would likely become erratic. From what I understand,
you all experienced that whenever they were active and you
were fighting near them. But if you were to put
them near somebody and channel energy into them, they would
explode quite dramatically. The automatic radiation inside would suddenly be released.
Speaker 4: I imagine that can't be done from a reasonably safe distance,
given the previous way you describe these things.
Speaker 3: Well, whenever they were active, they would have had certain
charms that protected them. But if you were to, for example,
throw them.
Speaker 5: And then.
Speaker 3: He makes a gesture with his hand, and as he does,
a flicker of energy that looks like a small eldritch
blast flies out from it and just goes up, any
reasonable spark of energy would probably set them off. You're
lucky you haven't tried to channel any magical energy through
them or anything since picking them up. Yeah, of course,
I divest myself a responsibility if you do choose to
do that. I have no idea what will happens, So
that's on you.
Speaker 6: Okay, I guess I'll be careful.
Speaker 4: Good HM with that.
Speaker 3: It might be best that we return all of you.
Is there anything that I could do for all of you?
I understand that through this whole ordeal you've gone through
a great deal of pain and confusion. We're not responsible,
of course, but one of the things that the College
of gun Gooth wants to do is show the world
that magic can help to ease its burdens. So in
that spirit, is there any service that we can perform
for you?
Speaker 5: He said, you had a way to see if I
had whatever in my body? Yes.
Speaker 3: Before we send you back, we would like to introduce
you to the former body of the last incarnation of Gotham.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I need to see that, just to
confirm a few things.
Speaker 3: Also, the rest of you, we do not have time
to put the cursive acceptance upon you. So two things.
The first, I trust that you won't tell anybody about
anything that has happened here or me. The second, I
warn you not to do that, otherwise it will not
go well for you.
Speaker 13: Not well at all.
Speaker 4: I think you overestimate my social circles.
Speaker 3: We can't be too careful. We've remained hidden for the
entire history of the empire by not making exceptions to
our regulations regarding secrecy. We're not going to.
Speaker 4: Sleep up now.
Speaker 15: I'm still kind of in all that it's happening in
the first place.
Speaker 13: I mean, what are the odds that would be here
for the hit.
Speaker 3: Indeed, in fact, so powerful are our curses and wards
that even ethicists couldn't reveal us if he wanted to.
He remains under the sway of the curse of acceptance. Well, Scarn,
I ask you, come with me. There's no point in delaying.
Speaker 5: All right, let's do this.
Speaker 13: At this scar.
Speaker 3: There is then a warp as Scarn and Sorrel vanish,
They shimmer around them as they disappear, And after they do,
all of the floating elements in the room slowly settle
back down to the ground and as they take off,
as we have gone a bit over our usual time,
and I and I and please forgive me for having
such a talkie session.
Speaker 5: It's so much meat today. Sorry I have I totally
didn't take notes.
Speaker 17: With that.
Speaker 3: I think that's where we're going to end today's session.
Reminder of those that we are not taking next week off.
We will be back next week.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's plans to be the best and worst place
for Mariam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I just want you to know that philosophically,
so much of what gun Youth stands for is very merriam.
But A they work directly with Vestius, whom he has
a Danuus relationship with, and B they would enable the
worst parts.
Speaker 14: Of Yes, yes, I've been thinking about the ramifications of
if Pepper and Mariam were in a room for a
long time.
Speaker 1: Like individuals, I think you get along with plenty of them,
but I think it's also a general distaste for certain
types of authority. Like they're all really cool and I
want to use the things they have to fuck some
of those guys.
Speaker 3: Their relationship here is very Vestius is on the board.
Speaker 12: Yeah all right, trust me.
