Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back. It's us and we're not.
Speaker 2: Nineteen, and this was Gilligan's grave and you've come back
for the forty third time.
Speaker 1: You have come back for the forty third time.
Speaker 3: Right, this is your first time here. I suggest you look
for the one that has a one on it.
Speaker 1: But you can stay. But you can stay if you
want to. We're not making you don't.
Speaker 4: You don't.
Speaker 1: It's not You're gonna have some stuff.
Speaker 5: No, no, no good on it out right in the
YouTube comments how you found us?
Speaker 2: But you know what, if there's one thing that we
believe here I think firmly we can all agree on,
is you can pick it up from contextclus media literacy
is not dead.
Speaker 1: You can figure it out.
Speaker 6: Freedom between the Lions. Yeah, you should have been here
between the lions.
Speaker 7: That's weird.
Speaker 1: That would be odd, like us expecting anyone listening to the.
Speaker 2: Bounderstand these zaboomafoo. Did you know that Christopher Lloyd was
in Cyberchase? Anyway, you everyone in watching the VODs only
you should show up for the Priest Dreams Wishbone. We're
gonna play some D and D today.
Speaker 6: What was your favorite BBS show? Right in the chat comments,
how you found us?
Speaker 8: I'm nosy.
Speaker 1: Write it in the mets.
Speaker 2: Oh I miss I missed the YouTube days of fucking
check the crotch bar everything. Nothing's the theme of today.
As I'm old, nothing's fun anymore. Anyway, don't worry about
it breaking, don't.
Speaker 1: Worry about it.
Speaker 8: I need to technically still be the crotch bar.
Speaker 1: But no one says it is.
Speaker 2: More my point, we'll bring it back because it went
from being underneath on the side for a while.
Speaker 1: That killed the crotchbar title, and.
Speaker 2: Then went back to being underneath, and no one renamed
it the crotchbar because no one is joyful crouch. The
description for YouTube videos used to be under the video.
It is now, but it used to be, and then
it wasn't, then it is. Uh So at one point,
we we YouTubers used to affectionately be like, yeah, fucking
deets a in the crotchbar.
Speaker 1: We also used to say jets We still sort of do,
but it's sort of different.
Speaker 6: We have a comment in our crotch.
Speaker 9: Yeah comments.
Speaker 2: So anyway, come go, go go on twitch and watch
the pre stream if you want to listen to me
slowly descend more and more from descend from ah I'm
old by Internet the standards to oh no, I actually
feel old. If you want to join me on that
journey that said, Uh, we we are back.
Speaker 1: It is July.
Speaker 2: We missed our first game for the month. I say missed,
but we had our ski jueled first day of the
month off. We do not have a Carrie today because
Carrie is in the States like a fool at a con.
Speaker 4: This place, do I understand?
Speaker 8: May me outa here, Carrie, Carrie.
Speaker 2: Maybe when Kerry comes back, you can like swing, buy
and grab and take you up here on our Canadian
Canadians want like just a free voy toy, like straight
up yes, I'm just speaking for yes.
Speaker 1: You know, you know we Canadians need more badass motherfuckers
named Washington.
Speaker 4: Real.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, uh, we got to do a recap. But
before we do the recap actually because we took a
week off. Uh, everyone else in the call, if you
have anything you want to announce or anything, then get ready.
Speaker 1: I'm about to ask you.
Speaker 2: But you guys know the deal with three gentle Sins.
The splash book we're working on right now, which I'm
very excited for. It's actually something I would have liked
to have had before we made this campaign because the
content of it would really fit into this particular campaign.
But when we began it was setting guide time. But
if you guys want to donate for that, you know
how to do it. The rules for it can be
found in around the channel on the discord. But just
to recap because I don't think I've actually said them
out loud in a while, you can vote on what
is going to be in the book circa saying you
want certain races sub races or certain classes def subclasses
by donating gift subs. Here, you can either give fifty
Tier one gift subs, which and then you can say
either two sub races like two races that you want
subraces for, or you can say one class and it'll
get a subclass. Or you can do five Tier three subs,
which is cheaper by the way, then the other way
of doing it. Or you can go and become a
patron at our two highest tiers and then you just
get an automatic vote, or you can do both.
Speaker 1: You can do both of those things. I think the
Patreon way.
Speaker 2: I think the one hundred dollars Patreon tier is technically
the cheapest way to do it, but I don't remember
the exact math right now.
Speaker 8: But the extra goodies too, which is including access to
all of our beautiful.
Speaker 2: One And then if you go to our patreon and
you join the highest tier, if you have a lot
of money and want to spend it a lot of
money on the stuff that we make, then the highest
tier has an extra layer where not only do you
get to pick one of the things I just said,
but you also get to pick like an extra thing,
an extra, more involved, secret thing.
Speaker 1: They get their own Google doc to.
Speaker 9: Fill out Google form.
Speaker 2: So if you want to be one of them cool
people filling out that secondary go one. Go to our patreon,
which you should join anyway, because you get previews of stuff.
Go to our patreon and join the one above all tier.
Speaker 8: You get so many.
Speaker 9: Wallpaper don't you like forms you want to fill out?
Some manchis seven.
Speaker 2: Also, it's a general reminder that nineteen has a Patreon
which you should go join. If you want to see
art as our art elements, we.
Speaker 1: Go away, D and D Mafioso.
Speaker 6: Do you want Desmond covered in maple syrup? Go join
the patreo.
Speaker 1: Yes we do.
Speaker 2: We send out monthly wallpapers. Some of it's art from
our books. Most of them are things that we get made.
Some of them are cute, some of them are cool,
some of them are sexy.
Speaker 1: A lot of them are sexy.
Speaker 8: A lot of them are attempts to try to kill me.
Speaker 2: I get half of them made. Heck in the Maroon
Hayden team gets the other half of them made. It's
really good by the way people I've seen people like
fucking thanking me for those. Maroon and Hayden put in
a lot more work than I do actually for the wallpapers,
so like, throw throw them some thanks, not not not me.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I want to reinforce I don't do everything in that
nineteen so when something goes wrong, you don't need to
blame me, and if something goes right, you don't need
to credit me for that first one. I really want
to reinforce that first one always my fault, not everything anyway.
So yeah, if you want to have stuff in the
Three Gentle Sins book, then do that stuff I just said.
Go join our patreon. It helps to support us and
it's growing quite quite well. Especially this year. It's been terrific.
Everyone's been so kind to us uh and or you
could donate stuff here and we'll keep track of it.
Speaker 1: I'm mom.
Speaker 2: Go buy Dead Saint Record on DTRPG. Go buy Lana's
Vault on DTRPG. Go get the setting guide and risk
and Reward.
Speaker 8: Go get all the stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, him a room, Marion Haydner and chat.
Everyone's some books.
Speaker 10: I love, but you also vexed me so you can
also get.
Speaker 1: Print on demand softcover copies of them, which I like.
Have that's one of them.
Speaker 8: Hear that, and they're beautiful.
Speaker 1: You too can make that always with a book. If
you buy our book, there's also being d stuff in it.
Speaker 10: What about the other printed copies of the status.
Speaker 2: Of the printed copies of for the Kickstarters? Those are
almost done. I am almost done formatting the last card
decks that have to be made. We've have been in
discussions with our ship or publisher, Slash Fulfillment House for
a long time because not to steer into politics, the
tariff situation has complicated the Kickstarters considerably, Thanks America, because
most of our patrons or most of our backers are
in America, and if we ship there, we have to
do those so we've been trying to figure out the
best way to go about shipping everything that involves the
fewest tariff penalties, which would be so much easier if
they weren't changing every three days, that would be okay.
So we're almost at the point now where we're ready
to start manufacturing.
Speaker 1: Which and this is probably a good thing for me
to say, actually on stream.
Speaker 2: We're almost at the point where we're ready for manufacturing
of all the stuff for the first two kickstarters. It
should be noted that when we start manufacturing, that's gonna
take like a couple of months due to the sheer
volume of things. We're going to shut down the pre
order store for the original Kickstarters at the end of
this month, so any chances to order anything from it
are going to come to an end. And then once
we put in our publishing orders, we're going to collect everybody.
We're going to lock everybody's addresses via backer kit, We're
going to figure out shipping. We're going to chart shipping.
It's going to be upsetting because tariffs are going to
have to be included in.
Speaker 8: That, but.
Speaker 2: All right, fucking size politics suck, and man, you're right,
politics really suck.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to roll dice.
Speaker 2: The only politics I wanted, the fantasy kind, where if
you get really sick of a character, you can be like,
I'm going to poison them, and then the consequences exist
only as far as our imagination lets them.
Speaker 1: Heck in. But that is is where those are.
Speaker 2: And the Zagalte book, which we're continuing to work on,
is also coming along well. I mentioned this on the
Kickstarter itself, but the original two hundred and fifty page
estimation for that is your fucking guess what not true.
The book is not even close to done, but it's
already at two hundred and ninety some pages and it
is only continuing to grow. I estimate it's going to
be in like the mid three hundred range by the
time it's done. So once again I have underestimated a
book size by about forty percent of the book. So
you're welcome, I guess, but that one's going well. That
one will be easier to fulfill because we'll have done
it by that point and the sheer volume is less
not gonna lie. Having to ship the setting guide and
risk and reward together is stressful, but it is what
we signed up for.
Speaker 9: And it is.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen, and we're so close. It's taken a
lot longer than expect did, but we basically became a
project involving like three books worth of stuff. So that's
that's where we are on that. That's the excuse that
I have.
Speaker 8: Thank you all for being so patient.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my gosh, thank you all.
Speaker 11: For being so patient, and thank you guys for always
coming back and seeing what we still have on the
burners as we're working through these issues that we have
through manufacturing and getting the books to your door.
Speaker 8: Set.
Speaker 2: Yep, we're going to be once we are ready, once
we're ready to begin manufacturing, we're going to send out
shipping notifications or we're going to send out notifications about
collecting shipping, which you guys will have to check your
backer kits for. Just so you know, we're going to
let everybody know what the general situation is because it's
going to be kind of a mix of things. For example,
our fulfillment house is going to send stuff directly to
people that are in America and in the EU and such,
but we've opted to directly ship out anything going to
Canadians because it turns out it would be easier. So
depending on where you live, the process will be slightly different,
but it shouldn't involve anything from guys on your side.
That isn't just you know, paying for shipping and then.
Speaker 8: Receiving your books and continuing to be excellently patient. But
you guys are doing.
Speaker 2: Ye yep, So that's where all that is. That was
way more than I expected to talk about. Another guy
that's it and is the one that brought up the
Kickstarter stuff.
Speaker 6: Fault, it's my fault.
Speaker 2: That's okay, it's a good thing for us to go over.
I haven't made any definitive announcements about it on the
Kickstarter because with the tariffs, the situation keeps changing, so
we don't want to post a thing being like, hey guys,
good news, and then hey guys, let's good news, and
then hey guys, better news, and then hey.
Speaker 1: Guys, apocalyptic news.
Speaker 2: We wanted to save any definitive announcements on the Kickstarter
for when there was like a solid okay, here we go,
it's happening, which has been as frustrating for me as
I imagine it is, not knowing what's going on. But
there will be more on that very soon.
Speaker 12: That said bet to.
Speaker 1: Bet to bet, you bet D and D.
Speaker 2: So okay, now that you guys have had all that time,
do you guys have anything that you're doing you want
to announce anything that you're you're in, anything you've done,
anything that's happening that you want to throw out there.
Speaker 4: I'm just screaming on the regular. Come watch me, your
dumb ass on the internet.
Speaker 8: Go watch Justice.
Speaker 9: He is my birthday.
Speaker 2: He is the secretary birth He is the secretary of birthdays.
If you don't go watch him, he may revoke yours.
Speaker 4: I might take it back. I got that power he does.
Speaker 9: I recently got to soft debut my new Live two
D model.
Speaker 13: I've been loving it to death, and later tonight because
it's my birthday, I'm gonna be streaming once I get
back from dinner with the gals, and uh.
Speaker 9: It's gonna be fun. I don't actually know what we're
gonna get up to.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun's gonna cool, cool, And I will
drop off the map a little if anyone's by the way.
It's been trying to contact me on anything, and I've
been slower to respond. Uh, it's because I've been cat
sitting for Kerrie for the same reason that she's gone.
So I've been away from the office for periods of
time while she's she's down in America like a fool.
So that's uh, I apologize, or anyone's been trying to
reach me on the discord or anything, and that has
not been going according to plant that said, okay, so
debraid and anything one else, I'm here.
Speaker 6: You also off debuted?
Speaker 2: Why yes, talk about it briefly, talk about it like
you're like like you're doing a sending spell.
Speaker 4: Yeah's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Twenty five words.
Speaker 9: Bread Goombo with their bag big kind of big blue
bag seven.
Speaker 8: Big bunk really bag it read bread bread red.
Speaker 6: Where'd you fame?
Speaker 4: Okay, good job?
Speaker 11: You have eight left red red red bright red red
red red bright red red red, Bald.
Speaker 1: I don't think bald made it in. Bald was just over.
Speaker 8: Oh, I said balls, but I'm glad you balls.
Speaker 1: I think balls didn't make it ball man all right
and finally anything.
Speaker 4: No the soft balls.
Speaker 12: Like g ball sound yeah, alrighty.
Speaker 1: And with that we're going to go in. I'm going
to make a little roll to see who's going to
give us our cap? Oh, before I do that. Who
wants to control Raleigh today and not Raleigh? What the
who wants to control n anyone?
Speaker 9: I can? I was already doing it before, so I
don't have any problem.
Speaker 4: Wants to.
Speaker 1: Pick him up? God speed, I control Raleigh today. But
he's a risk stop and also he's not a risko.
Speaker 8: Ask problem is what he is?
Speaker 1: He listen to it. As far as you know, he's
being helpful. He hasn't done anything not helpful.
Speaker 8: Hey, Pepper loves him, meat bread. I know that rat bastard.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Yet now I'm gonna
roll that die who five? Well, that would put it
on justice, which means Bradam.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Book Ahead is ralligh. That's what happened. That's all I know.
Speaker 5: We found out that Lorie is not the son of
Quintus Valorbilt. It is actually the bastard brother of Quintus
vala Bilt.
Speaker 6: I don't know I sound like that, but.
Speaker 5: I don't remember much else about me, but I think
that she was a knight of his Quintus's father of
the valor Bilt.
Speaker 2: They were a knight of the Runecrow family, which is
a different noble family, but they got together. They implicitly
got together with Quintus's father Lucent whenever he was lonely
from having lost his wife a long long time past,
and Uh may may have fled because they were worried
about what the implications of the having a child between
the two families. It's not been revealed why necessarily, but
they have evidently left because they thought that it could
be crazy.
Speaker 8: It was crazy, that's hot, goss.
Speaker 11: It was.
Speaker 14: Then.
Speaker 5: And then we met up with Satoon again and Saon
was like, I gotta go, Satoon over there.
Speaker 1: I can't stay long, I gotta go.
Speaker 6: I gotta go pretty soon.
Speaker 8: Swoon well, I mean Lily, Lilia.
Speaker 5: Lilia was a little bit too preoccupied to swoon for
seoon because she was too busy off and Copium. I'm
trying and trying to keep herself in in in good
in good spirits and tell herself that everything will be okay,
everything will be And everyone was like, Lilia, you keep
bottling that that point of manifest into a very bad
mental illness later and she was.
Speaker 10: Like, what are you talking about? Mental illness?
Speaker 7: Mm hmmm, see what else?
Speaker 8: I think?
Speaker 5: We were also talking about how we're going to locate
Goblin goblin, Gotham gob gobblem, gobble gobble.
Speaker 8: We're handling this.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 12: There's no smooth way to say that.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, she slurping.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, you guys were told where Dendron was in the infirmary.
You had met up with Buckethead. You unsealed him. He
mentioned that he was here to check on uh. He
had come here to check on Agony's throat, but now
that things were going down there and Ethicus was evidently,
by his estimation, trying to seize control of the power
that is in Agony's throat. He also explained a bunch
of what it was and why it was there, and
that it's sealing.
Speaker 9: Something underneath it.
Speaker 8: No, yeah, no, I need that information.
Speaker 2: It was demanded that he go with you guys to
take you to the Third Temple and whatnot, and he
was like, no way, uh uh, I refuse, I'm a coward,
I'm a little chicken boy.
Speaker 4: I won't be doing that.
Speaker 12: Uh, you guys.
Speaker 1: He then prepared notes for you guys to help you
get there.
Speaker 2: So Une went to retrieve the uh to retrieve Scarn's
father's body from the crack Rot because it had been preserved.
Speaker 1: By the cult.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you guys still don't know where Maurice is.
Maurice or Lily's family. Maurice is evidently in the town somewhere,
but you get no one knows where he's hiding somewhere.
He said he was going somewhere that he felt they
wouldn't look for him, but it is not known where.
To keep it a secret, he kept it a secret,
and it's worked. He kept a secret by not telling
you now you don't know he kept a secret.
Speaker 1: How by not saying now.
Speaker 2: With that, I would like to release the session to
you guys, you may do as you wish. Remind her
to everyone, we do not have a carry here today.
She is not going to suddenly pop in. If we
suddenly hear that but damp out.
Speaker 1: I will be very shocked. Do reviewers know what that means?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 2: Carrie's always here by the time we start, Carrie has
a call joined sound where it's like that fuck and
flipping a kitten around on your fingers, like but damp bo,
which I realized if you don't know those tiktoks, that
explanation is very confusing.
Speaker 1: That's okay, I have that sound wrong.
Speaker 4: One it's okay.
Speaker 9: You can next time we're about to start, you can
drag carry into one of the other chats and back
and then I'll play it for chats so I'll get it.
Speaker 11: That.
Speaker 1: With that said, I release you guys. You may do
as you wish.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, but yeah, literally, it's like when I'm when
I just said, oh wait, that is the exact thing
I realized, Wait.
Speaker 1: A min because I can hear the music, but you
couldn't come on join? Oh is it? What was it doing?
Why is it? It's just spinning?
Speaker 4: It's not.
Speaker 1: Oh well, what's what's happening?
Speaker 5: You know that that's what that's what's been happening with
uh because I made I made a similar bot to
what you use for an at nineteen bought for the
Summoners Network.
Speaker 6: And sometimes she just doesn't want to connect. And sometimes
she just doesn't want to. Yeah, sometimes you make just
doesn't want to do.
Speaker 1: Ship a fucking it's just spinning yep.
Speaker 5: Yep sometimes and then some and then sometimes you put
it in a different chat and it works. And then
sometimes you put it in the in the in the
other chat, and then it works, but I can't.
Speaker 1: But then it's not.
Speaker 11: But then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, hold on, how do I yeah, get out
of here. Hold on, let's get this working. Let's get
this working. Okay, come on, Discord Audio Pipe, do what
you gotta do in in and nope, hmmm, yep, oh yep.
Speaker 6: Cody's been having that same problem.
Speaker 1: No, how does he fix it?
Speaker 8: He doesn't.
Speaker 5: Sometimes he goes into he Sometimes he goes into another
chat and it decides it wants to work there instead,
like if you go intoe you hangout or dungeon.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it'll just work in there.
Speaker 9: Oh, I think we have to go there.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying stuff. I'm just trying stuff. Wha wait,
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on comes someone
always makes sure to check out the Patreon.
Speaker 9: We got stuff up things.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh geez, I'm so sorry. Chat hold on,
hold on, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: There it is now you're going again. People at home
not working. Uh, it won't matter to you though.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'll keep playing music and you can still
hear it there. It is in the background. But these
guys are not on the same page as you. So
the music is a special treat for you at home
and not for these guys. Oh man, Fuck these guys,
says the discord audio pipe.
Speaker 6: Is she going to take it all out?
Speaker 8: Worth it?
Speaker 1: You figure that out? Yeah?
Speaker 12: Fuck them?
Speaker 1: All right, guys, back at it? I release you. What
would you like to do?
Speaker 9: I was gonna go check in on Dendron at the
end of last session. Other than that, we don't have
a ton left to do other than hunt down I
mean maybe congloud, but that seems like maybe not the
best idea. Um and uh, obviously Maurice. And then we
have to find uh Lillie's family.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 9: That should be pretty quick if you just give me
a second check on the commander and then we'll probably
get moving. There's anything else you gotta do here, probably
get it done, because so at least a few hours
back heading back and forth between the churchren here, but
at least the cult should.
Speaker 15: Mostly be dealt with, probably reconvene with the folks finding
Dad's body. I don't know how far they'll in the
crack rat they are, but could be back relatively soon, right.
Speaker 1: God, they should be back relatively soon.
Speaker 4: They should be back relatively soon.
Speaker 9: Perfect mm. And you know I'll head over to check
on the commander, all right.
Speaker 2: Others in the group, assuming that Lawrence is going with Desmond,
because I feel like that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 12: Uh, Pepper, what.
Speaker 8: Just you know? Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 7: Uh she she will, she will follow with.
Speaker 9: Scarn ready and Pepper.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're in fox form.
Speaker 8: We decided, Oh yeah, I did. I got towered make
you tiny four feet better than five?
Speaker 1: The thing we've decided happens just as once though.
Speaker 8: Yes, I mean, I'm at the mercy of the folks
that I'm with.
Speaker 1: Which folks are going to the question?
Speaker 11: Probably probably Lilia. She's looking for her family. That seems
like the type of thing I could probably sniff out, Pepper.
Speaker 2: Lily is gone going one way, Desmond Laurence filling the
arin going the other way.
Speaker 4: Other way.
Speaker 2: Word alrighty, As you guys leave, and you head toward
the main entrance, which has been closed by the time
you got there again, the large set of gate like
doors have been sealed once again, closing this place off
from the inside. Desmond and Lawrence split off from you
guys and head toward the infirmary. So you make your
way through it, head into the front. Ask where Dendron is.
You head into the back into a room where there
is a lineup of beds that have are mostly empty.
Speaker 1: Some of them look they have been disturbed recently.
Speaker 2: You see in a couple of them there are bloodstains
that look like they've been attempted to wash out but
are still present. Nonetheless, there's a couple of people who
are sleeping on some of the beds who have been
dressed down, have had wounds dressed and wrapped and cared for,
and you see on one of them near the back
side of the room there is the large, very fit
form of the silver dragonkin that is Dendron, whose upper
body is torso has been tightly wrapped so much so
in bandages that you would almost swear.
Speaker 1: That he was a mummy. He appears to be laying back,
staring straight at the seal.
Speaker 9: Frankly, I'm surprised you made it out of there, you.
Speaker 1: Seeing startled slightly, shifts and looks over toward the two
of you.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've made a past all of them, and you're here.
You did.
Speaker 9: Well. Most of them did the job for us, but
we took out the last of the ones, at least.
Speaker 1: In the area, so the way back has been opened again.
Speaker 9: Mostly. Yeah, and what about the thorns. They're blocking off
the entire city. No escape yet, but we're working on that,
damn it.
Speaker 1: When we came here, we hooked to usher the people
that we helped through here and out to the surface.
But I'm sure you're sawing the way and the thorns
are blocking this exit.
Speaker 9: Two. Yeah, no, I was hoping, but figured as much.
If I being honest, do you know about them a
little bit? I can't talk too much about it. There's
a there's some problems with speaking freely. I'll explain in
a few days when I can.
Speaker 1: Still concerned the cult might have its roots here's.
Speaker 9: Something like that, though.
Speaker 1: I trust her judgment. It's right. He stops, and you
seem like lean up a bit, grab at his stomach.
As he realizes he's heard usself. He looks to Lawrence.
Speaker 9: Catherine Wombo perfect.
Speaker 8: Ah, oh cool.
Speaker 9: Honestly, if you've gotten it right, I feel like I
would have trusted you less.
Speaker 1: Somehow, I think today we should elect Justice to play
the narrative, the acting role that is Lawrence.
Speaker 12: Justice.
Speaker 2: Today you are the embodiment of Lawrence. Aaron will handle
them mechanically.
Speaker 12: Oh jeez, man, jeez.
Speaker 1: So then I suppose we should start trying to find
our way to explore into other tunnels and find our
way out. You can't very well stay in the town
with these thorns here.
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, they surround the whole place. It's a specific type
of event. We should be able to fix it, but
we're gonna have to make another dive. Be laving, I'm
sure quite quickly.
Speaker 1: As soon as you start saying that, he just said
it looks at you locks eyes or do you see
his brow furl a little bit. It is a.
Speaker 9: Specific type of event. Yep. I'm trying really hard to
be non specific here. I promise it's important. Trust me.
Speaker 1: When I suppose I agree and he leans back, you
could describe it as a specific kind of event. Yeah, No,
the town is shiealed off.
Speaker 11: On that.
Speaker 9: As okay, as can be a couple of close calls.
But we're all breathing. Everyone made it back. Actually, I
have been meaning to ask you, we uh lost consciousness
up at but the estate it did the governess make
it out. We had her safe, but we lost track
of them. Miss Southwestern.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I believe that you encounted her and
after I was over, before I was incapacitated or skewed.
I was consciousness in that room, and I woke up
in one of the cells. All right, she didn't make
it out. We haven't seen her, or at least I haven't.
But I apologize. I haven't taken a strict head count.
Speaker 9: I can't imagine why not.
Speaker 1: It's a miracle. I'm alive.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad you made it through. Captain. Well, I
will need people like you in the aftermath of this.
Speaker 1: Oh, not that it matters much anymore, but I'll send
a word with someone that you should all be given
access to anything you need for this. You said you're
going on another dive.
Speaker 9: Probably our last, to resolve all this, usually hope to accomplish.
There's something causing this down there. If we eliminate the problem,
the thorn should go away. Ideally, at the very least
it should give us. I'm not sure about the mechanics
of it all. There are some words I don't understand,
so I'm not even gonna try and be evasive here.
I just don't know what some of the words mean.
But we have a tool that I think, once we
power it up, might let us punch through at least
the ones here.
Speaker 1: Oh god right, well to hear past, you have a
concert more than most of us have so far. Somehow,
I understand that Leona went with you. Oh, yes she did, sir,
But she make it back. Okay, she made it back,
but she's not well. If you made it back, I
can only assume that her sister didn't.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, her sister. We didn't recover the body, but
we can assume they're gone.
Speaker 1: I imagine we won't be able to rely on Lena
much in your future then.
Speaker 9: I don't think so, sir. I think she's I think
she's out of the fight for now, and she's honestly
done more than gonna be asked of her, So I'm
all for that anyways.
Speaker 1: All right, good luck, report back in if you need anything,
but I trust your judgment.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, we'll get this up we need. I can't imagine.
We'll take many and we'll try and do this done
within a few days.
Speaker 1: By the time you're back, we'll try to have moved
ourselves back out into the main town. Ravaged as it was, lowtown,
and what remains of downtown are probably better for us
to situate ourselves in than here.
Speaker 9: More room anyway, more place to move. At least you
can keep this areas an option. All right, I'll get
that done. I just want to make sure you're all right, sir.
Good to see you on the mend.
Speaker 1: He nods, gives a thumbs up. Keth, I had it
wrong again, didn't I it was? That's starting to bug me?
What was it? Okay, next time, getty warmped up?
Speaker 9: You get closer shirt.
Speaker 4: That's closer.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I feel like if you knew it, we would
not mm hmmm mmm.
Speaker 9: Can't you start work?
Speaker 1: I totally thought about this at the very beginning. Yeah,
I like, I'm not picking on you.
Speaker 2: I like that your lawrence vaguely has the fucking Obama Cadence.
Speaker 1: Totally totally didn't think about this at the start of.
Speaker 6: Don't worry.
Speaker 8: As long as we have Laurence, I don't worry.
Speaker 6: You'll be fine.
Speaker 12: My dad is some guy.
Speaker 1: That guy code word is cadwady.
Speaker 8: I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1: That's great, not picking on you. It's so funny as
you guys.
Speaker 2: So are you guys gonna go try to reconnect with
the others? Yeah, okay, you would catch up with them
pretty quickly. Your conversation didn't take very long. As you
approach the main gates, everybody you you get back together.
Lawrence and Desmond catch up with the team. Everyone else.
Speaker 9: Zooming up here.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 1: As you guys see them catching up, glad for you
guys to join us.
Speaker 11: I'm human again or not human. I'm a cassadria, but
I'm two legs.
Speaker 9: I call myself.
Speaker 1: I believe you.
Speaker 12: I believe you.
Speaker 1: Disguise yourself as like, what was it? Do we just
got a halfling or a gnome?
Speaker 8: Halfling?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like your half.
Speaker 8: I can be other cathlings, but people don't usually lack them.
Speaker 1: But watch this, I'll transform from a halfling to a nome.
Speaker 9: No change.
Speaker 1: Now it's different, I promise, super different.
Speaker 9: Making fun of me.
Speaker 8: One stop that stop that.
Speaker 1: One of the species and the other one is short
and doesn't like shoes. You guys catch as you do.
Speaker 2: When you say that, the massive set of wooden doors
creaks open. You hear people yelling like they're coming back
and open them as they do. The large doors that
separate the crack Rot from the undertow primary headquarters slides
open with the rumbling of machinery.
Speaker 1: You see the party that had.
Speaker 2: Left to retrieve the body coming back so in front
of them, as usual, a dour look upon his face,
although this time it is marked more with a apologetic
sadness than it is with a romolays and behind him,
carried on a stretcher that is being held by two
of the members that went with them, and protected by
several more. You see the body of Scarn's cappy Hotto
father laying lifeless bandages covering a lot of their torso
you can just see the edges of what appear to
be a frayed long scar that runs from near their shoulder,
down across part of their neck, and then down their
chest from where the crescent scythe had burned them and
cut them open.
Speaker 1: However, it appears to have not healed, but it appears
to have been cleaned up, dressed, and cauterized.
Speaker 2: So Une regards Scarn as he walks forward the body
in tow as a moment as if he looks like
he's trying to find something to say and then cannot
find words.
Speaker 14: I honestly thought i'd be ready to see him again.
As I saw him, it all came back.
Speaker 8: Ah.
Speaker 14: I'm not sure how, but we should find a way
to get him a good burials.
Speaker 4: The less we can do for him now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're technically level with the surface here, which means
the ground is suitable for burying people on like the
stone and the rest of the pits. We don't have
access to the hollow yards unless we go down to them,
and that would take a couple of days. At least,
we can bury him here along with the other soldiers
who lost their lives that we buried here, or we
can wait and try to take them down to a
hollow yard. It's it's your choice. Honestly, you might be
the best place sending him back down there. I don't
think that's I don't think that's a good idea. My
understanding is that your father wasn't born here, and he
came from elsewhere seeking to broaden his horizons to here,
and then it ended up staying. So maybe it is
best that he's buried level with the surface.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I don't know of any other Copyhatoo down there, so
it's not like we're burying him with family, the only
family he has.
Speaker 4: He nods. I if.
Speaker 1: If on the day of the attack, if I had
gone with all of you to the estate instead of
returning to the church. I can't know what feel like
I might have been able to help avoid this.
Speaker 9: I'm so so prossimble. But without you the church wouldn't
a lot of them have been annihilated? Right, mm hmm.
Speaker 14: You saved a lot of lives. My father wasn't afraid
of this fight. He died a warrior blush. If it
wasn't for you, Lily and I would have died.
Speaker 7: Hm hm.
Speaker 15: You went hackel h Yeah, don't beat yourself up about it.
I definitely not beating myself up about it. Right now,
we move forward the best we can do, agreed. We
make it matter. You both shaved again. You both get
the sense all of you go ahead, joy, you do anything.
Speaker 8: No, that was.
Speaker 1: We're on discord, so you know sometimes dove tailings. My
cat was screaming in the amount of times we've been
in game, and it just like I have to hope. Sorry,
you're not good.
Speaker 9: Sorry.
Speaker 4: Maybe I should set up a source connect for us.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, a connect?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell whenever you guys say that. Stoic
as he is, the sentiments seem to not be lost
on him. He seems to agree he's affected by what
you're saying. You can tell that there's a lot of guilt,
but it's also soon. And if there's one thing that.
Speaker 1: He radiates at all times for no reason, perhaps it's guilt.
Speaker 11: So I'm not already crying at the beginning of session.
Speaker 8: Good, excellent. Wow.
Speaker 1: Do you want us to begin preparations to bury him
or would you like to talk to your family about
it first?
Speaker 11: Hm?
Speaker 14: I mean I guess I should ask them. They should have,
you know, some say over this, especially mom. Well, I
guess telling them that we have his body, asking if
they wanted see him one last time.
Speaker 1: We'll take him to the infirmary. The cult, to my understanding,
they were going to try to use his body as
a bargaining chip with you, so they used some of
their magic to preserve the body. Even now it's in
a state of sort of suspended animation.
Speaker 9: I guess, so.
Speaker 1: He's not he's not decaying, so you can take the
time that you need.
Speaker 15: Thank you.
Speaker 1: There's you see one of the undertoon another Undertow member
from behind, kind of running panting up.
Speaker 2: As the gate begins to close. You hear just a
distant gnome Undertow member yelling from the cracker.
Speaker 1: Like why don't close in, I'm almost there?
Speaker 2: Please good, no, come on, And as it stops closing,
this tired looking gnome in an undertow outfit runs through. Okay,
all right, he stops, put his hands on his knee
like doubles over.
Speaker 1: Sorry, how I want as farst as they could? Hello.
Someone looks to this tired gnome and back to you.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 1: We sent him to Russia ahead to touch base with
others and the rest of the pits to find out
if there was news, which it looks like there is.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kind of a couple of things. Ah. I talked with
the people that were at the church, some of them
would come further in. They had a couple of questions.
Two things. One, we think there might be some holdouts
from the cult in the town. Oh, there are signs
that some people might have sealed themselves in to the
old mctraw State, which, as we know, was where they
had held themselves up originally when they were scheming. Someone
has locked all the doors there and boarded them up
from the inside. We don't know when, but if there
are cult members, they may be pulling themselves together there.
They might be trying to fortify their position. The other
thing is the church wanted to me to be on
the lookout for Layuna. They said, after you all left,
she also headed out, and they presumed that she was
headed over here. But I didn't see her on the
way here. Did she arrive, Well, I was gone.
Speaker 4: We forgot where the way Leona was, didn't I.
Speaker 10: At the sanctuary, Bago was watching her.
Speaker 9: Ah, we have to look for your family anyway, so
we can look for her while we do that. M hm,
I also have to find a lot of people. I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a no, she's not.
Speaker 9: We haven't seen her, okay, oh oh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Oh indeed, hopefully.
Speaker 9: She just needs a moment to grieve.
Speaker 1: We're a bit short on manpower here, so we don't
know what the cult's quite capable. If we're gonna go
keep an eye on the old MCTROS state and see
if there's any movement there, But give them what they've
been capable of so far. We're a bit afraid of
breaking in and trying to storm it.
Speaker 9: Protect your lives before you protect the estate. If anything
goes wrong, get out of there.
Speaker 8: We'll do self preservation.
Speaker 1: Although there are any of them left there and we
can't get our hands on them. Might be able to
ring some final bits of information out of them, maybe
find out if they had any stores of equipment or anything.
I don't know. I'll go back, I'll check in with them.
I'll let them know. Can some of you come with me, please?
Speaker 2: We need more hands And he like points his hands
out and some other undertow members stop and they shift
over to him. They all nod towards Saoon and they
head out back with him, and they head back into
the town.
Speaker 1: Leaving Saoon the soldiers carrying.
Speaker 2: The body, and you guys soon looks toward the group,
then towards the body. I'll see it to the infirmary
and I'll inform your family that he's here. Also, I
think once we've sorted out what you need to sort.
Speaker 1: Out in the town. He looks over to Lilia.
Speaker 2: I think it's about time I returned to the depths.
I came to this place because I was looking for
that third temple, the one that you haven't been to yet,
and I stopped because of the toll that it was
taking on you and your family. But with everything that's happening,
if it's all right with you. I'd like to return
there and finish what I came here to do.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're happy to have an extra sword.
Speaker 10: And while we're making our way, you have a lot
of explaining you can finally do.
Speaker 1: I'll do my best.
Speaker 2: I have some suspicions about how much you've been released
from this effect, but I'll do my best to tell
you everything that I can. We know that you can
talk about the influence on the town right now, but
we haven't seen exactly how far we can go to
contradict what it's forced you to believe.
Speaker 9: That's true. There's still that not not just the erasure,
but the falsehoods are put into place.
Speaker 1: You all haven't recalled your histories, right.
Speaker 9: No, I still don't know what happened anymore. I thought not.
Speaker 11: It doesn't hurt to try, I mean less everyone glazes
over as they do.
Speaker 9: I don't know it will happen for us. But you also,
I empathize with how harder it is to talk about
this A fucking terrible time with my catch.
Speaker 1: You see, you see what it's been like for me
for the past, and then you got Catho's bagging me.
Speaker 8: It just makes it so much harder.
Speaker 9: Yes, you see that.
Speaker 1: It's not you see that. It's not that I didn't
want to tell anybody about it. It's it was impossible
to Would you permit me an experimental attempt to see
how far this has pushed you?
Speaker 9: He perhaps you should do it in private so it
doesn't mm hmm makes we have far.
Speaker 4: Walk. I walk up and I'm like trying to dapper up.
I'm like, he.
Speaker 3: Didn't mean anything like it.
Speaker 8: Eive me like that's fine, sugar. Huh what I what?
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 4: You don't need to understand me.
Speaker 9: I just don't want to incapacitate all of us.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they're just being.
Speaker 16: Permanent where.
Speaker 8: Hum hm I cover Laura's eyes.
Speaker 1: And ears are yes ere now, Lilia, would you come
with me?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Sure, yeah, yeah, everything will be fine. Nothing's gonna be
nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Everything will be fine, hopefully.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you'll be fine.
Speaker 10: I think that.
Speaker 1: They raise up a hand as if to request yours.
Speaker 10: Uh huh, yeah, okay, yeah sure, nothing said that nothing's
gonna happen.
Speaker 8: Guys, shoulder.
Speaker 1: As a harmonica.
Speaker 17: Here with what do you need car?
Speaker 1: We've got a harmonica?
Speaker 8: Don't say crazy? Who else is going to order Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure she's out there doing that.
Speaker 2: Uh so he would lead you away from the group
in general, so that you guys are out of earshot
from everybody else.
Speaker 8: I'm so normble about this.
Speaker 1: I'm going to attend to tell you what happened ten
years ago.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what you're gonna do exactly. Nothing else, nothing
to get embarrassed over, nothing to get flustered over, nothing.
Speaker 3: To get teased down that she shouts back at nobody.
Speaker 1: Liked walking by, like, uh sorry, Oh, I'm.
Speaker 11: On the verge of an aneurysm. Like Pepper is trying
so hard to stick home.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, land on lady, land on meet.
Speaker 1: She just like tells out rupe. Women just leans on
it like a cane, trying to be like dapper, like, yeah.
Speaker 10: Laid on me, land on me, nothing's gonna happen. It'll
be fine, do it now, I will.
Speaker 2: They seem taken aback. There is there are social cues
happening that they seem to just be.
Speaker 1: Like, I, okay, I challenge you.
Speaker 2: Ten years ago whenever I had to go down to
that temple to find what it is that I sought there,
which at this point I believe is what is affecting
your town.
Speaker 1: The three of us went looking.
Speaker 2: At this point, Lilia. As soon as they start speaking,
as soon as I say the three of us, there
is a ringing that begins in your ears.
Speaker 5: She just like steps on her own foot, just like
just freaking like just just stomps on her own foot.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I keep going.
Speaker 2: Well, most of the way down things were relatively uneventful.
You had gone on this particular journey with your father
with me because you were interested in working for the
undertow mm hmm. By all accounts, you were too.
Speaker 1: Young to be there.
Speaker 2: When we got far enough down, as you already know,
we were accosted by some creatures that live down there
by der regard. But whenever they attacked us, you were
separated from us along with And the last thing you
hear is along with. And there is a sharp, explosive
pain inside your head that deafens out everything else you hear.
Not like before when you glazed over, there is a striking,
painful feeling, as if.
Speaker 1: Your mind rejects whatever it is trying to hear. Yeah,
I would like you to make a like you to
make a charisma saving throw.
Speaker 6: Oh chisma.
Speaker 1: Kisma of personality.
Speaker 6: Fuck, that was a six. I'm gonna use my no,
I'm not gonnase panspiration will hold it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what that says? First of all, please mark
down ten psychic damage?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 6: Okay, so take away from HP.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just take ten points away all right? And also
with that being that low, as this happens, you cannot
hear whatever it is he tries to say.
Speaker 1: You grimace, You.
Speaker 2: Reflexively grab your head and you fall to your knees,
unable to hear anything around you. As this happens, you
see Soon stop, kneel down, put their hands on your
shoulders very quickly try to shield you from whatever's happening.
Speaker 1: You find yourself.
Speaker 2: Briefly as if you have been ah, as if your
ability to act has been sequestered from you. You are
unable to stand. Your muscles aren't reacting. You're just holding
your head with this throbbing.
Speaker 1: Distant pain, reverberating through it.
Speaker 2: As you see Soon saying something, trying to talk to you,
you can tell he's trying to comfort you, that he's worried.
Speaker 1: And as he stops, as he puts his arms around you,
kneeling down to where you are the feeling slowly subsides
and you hear him saying something over and over very softly.
You hear him just repeating, there won't be any more.
There won't be any more. I'm done, I promise stop.
Speaker 18: Fuck what.
Speaker 7: It's right there?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: No, keep going. Say it again?
Speaker 1: Did you hear anything I just said?
Speaker 8: No, that's the problem, So say it again.
Speaker 3: I'll try to fight it off. Please to say it again.
Speaker 2: I think I can do better. I think I can
show you. I don't think this thing's going to let
go of anyone's heads. Here the effects were weakened, The
broad effects were weakened. You guys can talk about this
thing existing, you can talk about the problems people have
had with their memories, but your personal histories have still
been bound up by this thing.
Speaker 1: And I think it still has enough of a hold
on you that you'd probably die before you were able
to hear it from someone else. What happened result Now.
Speaker 2: You need all of your energy if you're going to
come with me. So if I can't tell you, then
we should head down to that temple and I'll show you.
Speaker 7: No, I'm stronger than this.
Speaker 8: I can handle it.
Speaker 10: Really, you gotta believe me.
Speaker 1: Roll insight, roll mean insight.
Speaker 3: Check inside check check inch.
Speaker 6: Oh wait, hold on, I gotta is it in this?
Speaker 9: Is this in your skills?
Speaker 6: It's in skills. I forgot The bars are fat.
Speaker 1: Now they are fat. Now they really let themselves go.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that's a fucking what are these roles?
That's a one for a three.
Speaker 2: In specific terms, You don't your your head is still pounding.
You can't quite read where he is, but you get
the vague sense that he doesn't seem willing to try
that again. And your most obvious instinct is he is
entirely reluctant to cause.
Speaker 1: You more pain.
Speaker 5: She's gonna try her best to hobble her way up,
using root Bloom to kind of get herself up.
Speaker 1: And you take out route Bloom. You're like unfurl it
from its bracelet configuration.
Speaker 2: As we discussed before, it regrows itself into a full blade,
and as you do when you take hold of it,
you do find the pain in your head subsides a
little bit, as if it's soothing it and as you
at least temporarily march away from the idea of continuing
what you're trying to do. The pain seems to go away,
as though it is knowingly aware of your attempts to
pursue the truth.
Speaker 10: That's right, this thing doesn't like root bloom.
Speaker 6: Right, nothing here likes root bloom.
Speaker 1: I what.
Speaker 6: Root bloom? The thorns?
Speaker 10: It hates. It hates root bloom.
Speaker 1: It does.
Speaker 6: Maybe this thing also hats.
Speaker 1: True bloom, but it was pretty vague. That is, they
put their hand out toward you. May I see rute bloom?
Speaker 9: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Sure.
Speaker 5: She's like unsure of letting it go because it's just like,
I'm gonna take this away now, because you sound like
you're gonna hurt yourself with it.
Speaker 6: But it's just like she reluctantly gives him root bloom.
Speaker 1: He takes it.
Speaker 6: It's a.
Speaker 1: I can stock querry.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the constellation.
Speaker 1: I've encountered.
Speaker 8: Oh no, everyone's like pepper.
Speaker 1: I've encountered a couple of these before. My family actually
used to own one. Yeah, yeah, it's uh unimportant. I'm
aware of these.
Speaker 2: If rutbloom is a constella query, he seems to inspect it.
You see, like his eyes seem to shift hues very lightly,
not change color entirely, but they seem to just shift
their tone and then back.
Speaker 1: It's not the same kind that I used to seeing.
Speaker 2: It's probably not idolic, but constelliquaries have a way of
having a will of their own. If this one does,
in fact, if it's able to fight back against the thorns,
then you're probably right.
Speaker 1: It's probably an ample weapon to be used against the
thing making them, which means not only can I show
you what happened your history, but you're probably the best
person to put an end to this whole thing. You
have a much better chance than I ever would.
Speaker 10: You're not telling me I'm a hero for all of
this is no la no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 1: Sure you can't.
Speaker 10: I could only fend off the thorns twice. I just
learned how to use that stupid thing. I've just been
waving it around like an idiot with a stick.
Speaker 2: Whenever I originally sought out the temple and I had
suspicions about what was down there, I didn't actually have
an endgame, a plan for what I was going to
do when I had to confront this thing. There are
ways I could force myself to or force it to
expose itself to me, but they would take a toll
on me. With you having this, you actually make it
possible that I probably could put an into things here,
or rather, that is to say, Lilia, I don't think
I could do this without you.
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, if you were gonna say show show directly.
I mean, you know they're not worded it at the
point being, I still don't know how to get that
thing's full potential out yet, unless you know how I
can tap into that better so that I can help
people out here and maybe find my family. Right now,
there's not much I can help you with just having it.
Speaker 1: If it rejects the nature of this thing, of the
parasite that we're going to go confront, that should be
enough to awaken it.
Speaker 10: There's the other thing too. All over the town now,
there are flowers, flowers that I haven't seen in a
very long time, the flowers that I've been looking for
this whole time.
Speaker 1: Those lotus flowers. Yeah, yeah, those belong.
Speaker 10: To it, which means they're down there. It could mean
that they're behind all this. Are you telling me I
have to kill them?
Speaker 2: The person that you saw who came to help you
whenever you got lost and found yourself in the underground
field of flowers right, Yeah, no, you won't have to
kill them, you won't. They give it like a reassuring
smile and they shake their head in a little bit.
Speaker 10: So you know about them, you know who they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a suspicion.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try one thing, one final thing, and
if it makes your head hurt again, I apologize.
Speaker 10: M rube Bloom did help the pain away.
Speaker 8: I could.
Speaker 1: The parasite.
Speaker 9: Mhm.
Speaker 2: The parasite has a name. It won't mean anything to you,
but I'm kind of tired of calling it the parasite.
The thing that we're going to try to kill. It's
called Nephtaria.
Speaker 10: Nefaria.
Speaker 2: You can hear its name. Yeah, God, I'm confident that
Neptaria and the individual that saved you in that field
of flowers, that they're different people. I don't think that
Neftaria would.
Speaker 1: Have been so kind. Ah, that's really this being Neptaria.
I'm going to make another attempt to explain some things
to you. But they if you can hear its namage,
they shouldn't hurt your head.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 1: They are an arch fay. They're one that has a
particular interest in mortal happiness. They've been subtly manipulating mortals.
Since they came into being, I'm not sure how long ago.
It could have been thousands of years. They don't understand
mortal hearts, and they seem to due to the nature
of the realm that they inhabit. They take power by
sipher off psychic energy from mortals. They do this, they think,
by providing them with alternative histories and memories that allow
them to bury their trauma and sadness, things that define them.
In return, they.
Speaker 2: Through a fay pact of sorts, they connect themselves to
the feelings of happiness you get from the life that
they put inside your head. Any happiness or joy or
excitement that comes off of the memories that they give
you produces a sort of psychic energy that feeds into them.
I came here looking for them because they're related to
another group of people being let's say, tormented, held captive
by another friend of mine. I was hoping to find
them here. I believe that this town and Darkland before it,
and who knows what other places. They're like an experiment,
like a garden. They find locations like this, they magically
weave their roots into them, into the communities. They become
part of the land, and then those who live there,
those who call that place home, become members of their
fee realm, their domain of delight. Once they're characteristically part
of it, they're subject to whatever experiment it wants to do,
in this case, replacing trauma with.
Speaker 1: Preferable memories. They might be different in other places. Darkland
was the same from what I understand, But Neftaria, they
believe they're doing mortals a favor. They think that they're
giving you happiness, and in a sense, I guess that
makes sense.
Speaker 2: But I also don't believe that just because one has
influence over a realm, they have any right to dictate
the thoughts and future of other people, even if they
are saving them from trauma. That's why I came here
to hunt down Nephtaria. None of that hurt your head.
Speaker 7: Right, No, I'm fine.
Speaker 9: Good.
Speaker 10: So if I'm understanding right, whatever it is you're trying
to tell me, I can't learn because of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can hear about them in the context them.
Think of that as like a broad outer layer that
they affect the memories of people with that a glamor
in place that made it so that whenever you started
to become aware of their existence. You would turn away
from that truth and become unaware of it. That affected
everybody in this town. Whatever happened to you, it undid
that level of it. However, the memories that it's twisted
up and replaced, that's a more specific thing that it
did specifically to each of you. That's not something you
can be disconnected from. That's your own personal reality. And
as long as Neftaria has influence over this place, any
attempt to remember your actual histories is just going to
lead to pain. The magic that's affecting you will reject
your actual history. So we have to free you entirely
from Neftaria's control.
Speaker 10: But in order to do that, we have to get
them right.
Speaker 9: M hmm.
Speaker 8: What if they.
Speaker 10: What if they do like what you just did and
they try to hurt us with it, Well, it's an
easy way to cripple us.
Speaker 2: This is going to be difficult to understand, but beings
like Archway have to live by certain rules. They have
this influence over you because they effectively made your town
part of its domain of delight, which is like a
realm in the Fay realm, a smaller one that they
have influence over But due to the nature of how
they exist, FAY have to play by rules when they
make deals. They make contracts in a way. Part of
the rules I assume mean that well, you can't try
to undo the effect on it. I don't think that
it would be able to use it against you either.
Speaker 3: That's right. I'm on a twenty fifth FAY.
Speaker 2: Oh, it might be on a slightly different scale than
an arch pay, but that might help.
Speaker 1: That might help you to deal with them.
Speaker 2: To Neftaria, all of you are just part of a
long term game that it's playing. You're an interest, but
that game has rules, and I suspect if it tried
to use them against you, it would probably have to
abandon everything.
Speaker 1: Would end completely.
Speaker 2: I think that when it does what it's doing here
to a town with the Thorns, and like with Darklin,
I believe that it means that Neftaria has decided that
there's too much information that the well has been poisoned.
In this case, it might be that the damage to
the Cholondrites made this place dangerous and it decided it
wanted to end the game, so it seals the town's
in It tries to end the experiment and flush it out,
probably by letting you all starve.
Speaker 1: If if it could act more directly, I don't see.
Speaker 2: Why it wouldn't just come here and murder all of
you itself, which makes me think these thorns are part
of a predetermined mechanism, which makes me think that there
are rules in place that prevent it from directly harming you.
But with root Bloom, if we can open away to
reach Neftaria, nothing stops us from directly harming it.
Speaker 10: All right, then teach me how to.
Speaker 9: Do it more.
Speaker 1: Teach you how to you are the one to do
it more, just his hands on hips.
Speaker 10: Teach me how to do it more, to do what
you know what that is?
Speaker 3: You know how to tap into it?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, the one I had I didn't use and I
didn't even know that it was what it was, and
then Mariam took it or will tell Okay, but like,
h last time I saw one, I was a child.
Speaker 10: Okay, but like there's still more experience than me.
Speaker 3: So you know how to do a crazy stuff a child.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know how to do all that crazy
stuff and you can just you just you just do
things good.
Speaker 3: You can learn how to do this and then teach
me how to do it, and then we can do together.
Speaker 9: Right, honestly, imagination, it's like the golf club swing, like training.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Lilia, you probably know better how to do it
than I do.
Speaker 8: But I don't know how I did it.
Speaker 10: I just jabbed rupe bleom into it and it worked.
And now we can only do it two times. But
I don't have the energy to do it more. And
you're good at energy and stuff and things, right, You're
like good at meditating.
Speaker 1: Well, I know how to meditate. I don't know if
I would say I'm good at it.
Speaker 10: Got to help me here. You gotta help me yourseln
and I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand the situation.
Speaker 7: No, I really don't.
Speaker 1: I'm asking you for help.
Speaker 10: I know I'm willing to help you, but you have
to help me help you, I, Lilia, h.
Speaker 8: I don't know what.
Speaker 3: I'm trying you do, but I'm scared.
Speaker 1: I'm scared gonna fuck it up if anything goes wrong.
I promise I'll fix it until we see this through.
Speaker 2: From the moment we leave this town until the moment
when we've made nef terrya pay for what they did here.
Speaker 1: I promise I'll stay by your side.
Speaker 10: Really promise.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone's gonna.
Speaker 3: Make fun of me.
Speaker 1: Why would they make fun of.
Speaker 3: You because they're trying to play wing man?
Speaker 17: You do you know what that means?
Speaker 1: She just has her little hands and just going like, don't.
Speaker 8: You do need doubt that me?
Speaker 1: Like I knew?
Speaker 8: But she was.
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
Speaker 3: It's it's too embarrazy to explain.
Speaker 10: If it was any other time and it wasn't a
life or them situation, I'd be in freaking nervada right now.
Speaker 3: But now's not the time.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Did you just at me again?
Speaker 8: Please?
Speaker 3: I hate everything this right now?
Speaker 8: I hate everything.
Speaker 2: But theirs around you, one of their hands on the
back of your head, pull you very close to them.
Speaker 16: We're going to fix this, I promise, Yeah, start with right.
Speaker 2: The reason I've stayed here for ten years because I've
been waiting for a chance to fix this. I'm not
going to fail now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've only got one shot, right, We had to
make it count.
Speaker 8: I can't fuck it up.
Speaker 3: It can't afford to fuck it up. There's so many
people couldn't go with me.
Speaker 8: What you're saying is true. If it's all writing on me.
Speaker 3: I can't avoid about that. I'm not even scared if
I die, said, I don't care, Mama still be a pull.
Speaker 1: I won't let anybody else die.
Speaker 5: Can you?
Speaker 1: If there was a question in there, you got a
bit muff old and cut off.
Speaker 11: No, I said it?
Speaker 1: You do you don't mean oh, okay, trust me, I'm
not gonna die.
Speaker 3: Yo, because you're like you were cool?
Speaker 9: No, I just.
Speaker 1: I don't get off.
Speaker 10: Sorry, but there are three little girls out there. All
I've been thinking about is then I haven't had a
chance yet. I can't die here.
Speaker 3: M I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: I'm like, if you're going into a whole.
Speaker 1: Thing, have you tried to contact your family today?
Speaker 10: I thought about it, but I've also been scared of
even doing that. I'm scared of not getting a reply.
I've just been a complete coward.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do it?
Speaker 6: I should be the one to do it.
Speaker 10: Hein knowing Papa, he's I don't think he'd go into
crazy dad mode, and he likes you a lot.
Speaker 7: But maybe it'll be reassuring.
Speaker 10: For all of them to know I'm still okay.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 6: I just don't know what to say.
Speaker 18: Ah.
Speaker 10: So I need to not sound like I've just been crying,
because he's to be like, make you cry, Lily, I
heeard of.
Speaker 3: God if it was shouted, not a freaking I don't
know what you'd do.
Speaker 1: I don't want them to think I made you cry
either you didn't.
Speaker 8: Maybe cry.
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's good, you know.
Speaker 3: I just I don't want anybody to make Rothers accuses.
I don't know what to tell him, Okay.
Speaker 8: Uh, I just don't know, honestly.
Speaker 1: If I can things up with the rest of everybody,
if you want me to talk to them protect your parents.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 10: That's a great idea.
Speaker 14: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You let me know how that goes. I'll go tell
the others. Yeah yeah, I held you a bit more tightly.
They let go very slowly. Then they heading toward the
rest of the group, who are all being very good sports.
Thank you all for hanging out.
Speaker 5: His face Plant, well, just as he gets a good
distance away, she just looks back and she's just like, good.
Speaker 6: Job, faith Plant on the ground, good job.
Speaker 1: Do you want to do your sending before we go
back to them? Okay, the sending will be.
Speaker 5: Father.
Speaker 6: I am in insert pit that she is in. What
pit were you when the last I could do something
about the thorns? Did I count those ahead of time?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: But it sounds like less than twenty five.
Speaker 8: I buy it and send that back. I'm never challenging.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she'll send that.
Speaker 1: Could you repeat the message.
Speaker 6: I am here in and this is where she would
insert the name of the pit you're.
Speaker 2: In the technically you're in the undertow Primary HQ right now,
which is not a pit.
Speaker 1: It's above ground.
Speaker 8: That's three words.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, it's above ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the undertow Primary headquarters is it's level.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well she's gonna say undertoe under Wow, I didn't
undertoe primary to save a word.
Speaker 6: I'm here and under Actually we are here.
Speaker 8: We are here, We're all here. That way they know
it's everybody, we are here. What pit did you say
you were all.
Speaker 7: At?
Speaker 6: I have a way to get rid of thorns?
Speaker 5: So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty twenty one, twenty four words.
Speaker 1: Nice okay.
Speaker 2: Slave said that the response you get back is as follows.
You get it back pretty quickly. You immediately pick up
on a somewhat chipper tone from your father. You received back, Lilia,
glad you're safe. We're in the dropping edge pit, but
things got dicey. Currently deeper in the caves, one of
the governors says that he knows another way.
Speaker 1: Out, following him, Oh shit, uh uh, how are you?
Oh wait, and then it cuts off.
Speaker 6: That's as it gets back.
Speaker 19: Her eyes just widen and the stone falls out of
her hands, and there's there's just a moment of pause
there as the scene trim and we cut.
Speaker 1: To the other group.
Speaker 9: The moment of the episode, it cuts to black.
Speaker 1: In the commercials play cuts back to the other group.
Soon now, in front of all of you, very very bluntly,
Lily and I will be leaving together. Oh shit, Oh
and we would like all of you to come with us.
Speaker 4: Oh oh.
Speaker 9: That makes sense. What all right?
Speaker 8: Lily asked for me.
Speaker 1: Huh, well, I'm asking you.
Speaker 8: Oh that's almost more ful. I've did both flatter and.
Speaker 2: Shit the temple that I came here ten years ago. Yes,
I also wish to tell you all more about it,
because it seems I can reveal more information. Kang the
enemy that we're going to try to kill it. Goes
by the name Neftaria, and it is and he explains
the stuff that I that was just explained to Lilya.
He explains it all, so I don't have to talk
for half an hour.
Speaker 9: I gotta go back in the vod sounds complicated. I'm
just gonna yell at them while I.
Speaker 2: Sleep space it okay, Well, the the major idea is
we need to go to Darkland. We need to find
a way to expose that archway Neftaria, and then use
root Bloom to kill it, or at least sever it
from this place. It shouldn't be able to use its
power over this place against you.
Speaker 1: It's like a game with rules. It has to follow them.
Speaker 8: Oh, I love games with rules.
Speaker 1: I suspect it's using the colondrite that's in the temple
to try to amplify.
Speaker 4: Its power in that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I frozen time for a while. Ever can contact people.
We have a we have a friend, well loosely who
might be very vested in taking care of the thing
that destroyed Darkland.
Speaker 2: Oh, you mentioned I had been told before that the Duregard.
Actually I was going to ask you about him.
Speaker 1: I vaguely know the way to get to the.
Speaker 2: Temple, but whenever we tried to go there before, we
got a bit lost in the last third of the journey,
which is when things happened with Lilya's family. If your
friend lived in Darkland and knows the way to get there,
then he would be a wonderful guide to get us
through that final third of the journey.
Speaker 16: Ah.
Speaker 2: And also, yeah, he could maybe get revenge for what
happened to his ancestral home.
Speaker 8: Come on, okay, I get that bag. Yeah, we can
do that.
Speaker 3: That sends.
Speaker 8: That's that's a that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not sure exactly what awaits in Darkland.
Speaker 8: I know that.
Speaker 1: The doudregard who were there. They're not exactly dead. They're
not exactly alive either.
Speaker 8: Those I'm dealing with a lot of undead.
Speaker 1: They're not undead. This I believe the citizens of Darkland
who remained when it became gestures to the thorns like this.
They eroded away over time and became a part of
Neftaria's realm in a more esthetic sense. Ten years ago,
whenever we were.
Speaker 2: Attacked by Duragar, their bodies were covered in roots and
lotus flowers, Lila doesn't seem to remember that, but I
believe that they are extensions of Nephtaria and probably being
used to defend what remains of the temple. I have
no harms about cutting my way through them, though.
Speaker 8: At this point, we gotta do what we got to do.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and.
Speaker 2: Lily's history is really the only one I know for certain,
but when I attempted to tell it to her, it
caused her excruciating pain. I don't believe that you'll be
able to regain your proper histories unless we sever this thing.
Speaker 9: Ties to you. Sounds good to me, of course.
Speaker 1: I guess consider this your shot at informed consent to this.
You understand that, due to the nature of Neftaria's game,
the memories you lost are not going to be played, Derek,
are probably going to be the worst things you've ever felt.
Speaker 9: I'd rather live with a shitty truth than a beautiful eyes,
so I don't care about that.
Speaker 1: I agree as long as the truth is based in reality,
you can at least face it. I think it's.
Speaker 2: Horrifying that this thing is taken that away from all
of you. Agreed, Well, I'm going to prepare for the journey.
I'm going to wait in Lowtown. I need some time
to collect my thoughts and figure out the best way
to approach this. If you could contact CAG, then that
would be good, and I believe we should leave as
soon as possible.
Speaker 4: Agreed, He nods.
Speaker 1: Please tell Lilia that I'll be waiting.
Speaker 8: For sure.
Speaker 1: She's contacting our family right now.
Speaker 9: By the bye, all right, we'll pro Grammar soon.
Speaker 1: Walks off in the direction of Lowtown.
Speaker 8: I still want to where that wind comes from.
Speaker 11: Just this hair just flutters in the wind. Pepper shakes
her fist at his back and then turns.
Speaker 9: To the group, the cherry washing them.
Speaker 8: I've been wondering, it's some sweet Why do you smell
a mabell? See her be? Sad's the point? So is
there like anything else we want to throw in with
our message? The CAG.
Speaker 9: Just tell me he's got the opportunity to avenge his
entire city if he meets up with us.
Speaker 4: That part.
Speaker 9: I think it'll be funny enough motivation for him. He
seems set, and honestly, I.
Speaker 11: Have absolutely all right. Oh my god, am I still
not in fantasy Grounds? Why am I not in Fantasy Ground?
Are you not?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 8: Everyone is? Oh?
Speaker 11: My god, fantasy grounds is doing the thing I was
doing it forwards all glitchy. Oh no, maybe I don't
do fantasy.
Speaker 8: Sorry.
Speaker 11: I cast sending, which is one of my curriculum spells,
So that'll be my one curriculum spell for today, and
I will reach to cat.
Speaker 8: And Pepper's message is hattiekag vin a minute. We've got
some fun that we could be getting up to get
in revenge and what's right? Come meet us at? Oh
what could come meet us?
Speaker 20: I don't know.
Speaker 11: At this point, Pepper looks to Desmond and begins to sweat.
She's saying this one out loud for for the sake
of contributions. Today Pepper does not have the group chat
on mute.
Speaker 9: Bing the Guide to Darkland. We found a way to
avengure people short enough.
Speaker 8: Can't start the messard.
Speaker 9: Okay, always listening. I don't know what you said so far.
If you keep talking to me, does stack count against
your messag because that's not good. Come here, you hear me.
Speaker 11: The last words of this were meet me at, and
then she says, come here. That's the end of the best.
Speaker 9: Sounds good.
Speaker 3: We're going to dark One.
Speaker 8: We're going to We're doing the dark one that's see it.
Speaker 11: I just, oh my god, I think that's worse than
the sendate I tried to send at the school.
Speaker 8: Am I getting worse? Am I regressing?
Speaker 12: You receive a reply.
Speaker 1: That the first word of which is just allowed. Ah,
I'm not uncalled to try to come solve your problems.
I'm not coming to your stupid pitt town. You come
to me? But either.
Speaker 3: But either but Eil, what.
Speaker 1: Hell is that?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 8: Yes, though okay, he says yes. But we got to
go to him because he's cag sure.
Speaker 9: I mean it's on the way probably. I mean tunnels
to punnels. Do tunnel things right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean at least he knows they're common.
Speaker 9: He stwhereund that stupid mushroom thing we killed? Because that's
not far.
Speaker 8: I don't know. Oh my god, fantasy. I can at
least look at my.
Speaker 1: Sheet what's wrong with it? So I can tell you
what's wrong with it?
Speaker 8: Am I not updated?
Speaker 2: Post V four point seven point five is running a
different version from client V four point seven point two.
Speaker 1: You are three versions behind.
Speaker 8: It's been a minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it actually it updated a couple times over the
last couple of weeks, So that's not shocking.
Speaker 1: But update, I'm updating now.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Logan. I don't know how I got.
Speaker 11: This far without my brain realizing these things. But Pepper
continues to grapple with the ever looming problem of if
she's regressing in her magic.
Speaker 9: You're doing it, You're becoming a wizard.
Speaker 8: Don't play with me.
Speaker 9: It's very easy. Do you get a hat when you
become a wiser? Or very easy?
Speaker 8: What are you talking about? I mean, yeah, for the what.
Speaker 9: You're very soft and pushble. It's easy to play with you.
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 8: What are these words you're saying this?
Speaker 11: What? What? I like these words you're saying. I don't
know where they are coming from. What did I say
to get that reaction from you?
Speaker 21: Oh?
Speaker 9: You should don't play with me, and I should. It's
teasy because it's easy to play with you.
Speaker 8: Yes, okay, yes, I'm not a wizard. Do you know this?
I feel like we haven't had this kind I feel
like you've been able to glean that.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, no, you're becoming a wizard. That's why I
started with that.
Speaker 8: Close enough? Oh let them Yeah? I like I like
that better than the truth. Let's go with that.
Speaker 9: Good job.
Speaker 8: I wish.
Speaker 1: We did it.
Speaker 11: Episode ends, Pepper is perplexed just you can like the
whole time her ears have been like perking up, going down,
twisting to side, just like she kind of just strangles
them into being down.
Speaker 8: It's like, well, cag knows. Now, can we go collect
Lilia and get on the road.
Speaker 9: Elijah, Oh yeah, Lilia.
Speaker 2: You see them standing looking worried, sort of staring off
into space about one hundred of one hundred and twenty
feet off from you.
Speaker 10: Guys.
Speaker 2: They don't seem I mean, they can tell me they are,
but they don't seem responsive to you guys calling out
to them.
Speaker 4: Oh so over.
Speaker 9: Before we're gonna get ready to head out, Dender and
said that we can grab some supplies here.
Speaker 8: No, yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 9: Uh oh could you see no.
Speaker 18: Very what happened?
Speaker 7: I contacted contacted Papa.

Speaker 8: Oh we know where the other is.
Speaker 10: One of the governors on them and told them there

Speaker 1: I'm here to do other things. I got a GM,
don't I have to deal with enough?
Speaker 2: You as all that's happening, you hear some noises coming
from outside the drop Shut up, let me DM. You
hear some noises coming from outside the dropping edge pit.
You hear some scrambling. You hear what sounds like Undertow
soldiers yelling. You hear just a general like, get away
from it, whatever that is, we can't hurt it. As
they rush away, and you hear at first the large
plodding of what sounds like a very large paws upon
the earth. You see Undertow members rushing by the entrance
to the dropping edge pit, followed by skidding to a
halt at the entrance, a giant cappy barra that you
all recognize rushing behind them, skidding to a stop at
the entrance and looking like with all of its limbs
spread out like an alerted dog, just stops looks in
toward the pit as all of you see Bagel. As
the undertow members continue to have rushed by and head
back towards the crack rod. There is a moment of calm,
and then you hear the sounds of something else clumsily
rushing behind it. You see Bagel look back towards the
tunnel it came from and look to you. Takes off
toward all of you and runs by you as you
see another creature enter through the entrance to the dropping
Edge pit.
Speaker 1: This large.
Speaker 2: Not quite as big as Bagel, but this large beast
that looks like it's made of the components of various
monsters and creatures sewn together. This creature appears to have
feathered wings, one large displaced claws, limbs that are not
sized properly for its body. Its head appears to be
what looks like a skull like Drake's head as it
lumbers forward. This Frankenstein's monster that is made of parts.
Speaker 12: You guys see do it?
Speaker 1: Do what I want you to do? Don't you?
Speaker 8: This? Oh not good? That's terrified, but we gotta kill that.

Speaker 9: I kill those, We kill those.

Speaker 2: I wish I could share with you guys what I'm
about to put on, but unfortunately I can't. So I
can't share with you guys a combat theme that's going
to be heard for the very first time.
Speaker 12: Hecking it is what it is.
Speaker 8: I bet it's really good.
Speaker 1: It is really good.
Speaker 8: I bet it goes like or something like that. Like,
I bet it's really good.
Speaker 2: Did you as you guys rushed toward it. Initiative has
been rolled this thing. Uh, you guys have no immediate
idea where it came from, just that it seemed to
have been pursuing.
Speaker 1: Fair bagel Lilia. You would have the first turn Li skeletor.
Speaker 6: My throat had a moment there.
Speaker 1: It was all the lotion. So pro tip about lotion,
not it, don't eat it. Vocal cords do not need lotion.
Speaker 5: No, I see, we are gonna that. That is that
is an immediate That is an immediate hold on forty
forty yeah, thirty.
Speaker 1: Oh, distanct right here, right here, twenty feet it.
Speaker 5: Looks like twenty five feet. We maybe twenty five feet.
We are gonna hecking hack at it with the safe
but we're gonna just we're gonna just target and we're
gonna do We're gonna do some some some bonkage.
Speaker 6: We're gonna see what what what? What hurts this thing?
Speaker 8: We go bey all.
Speaker 6: For some reason, we had advantage, and we got an
eleven for nineteen.
Speaker 2: You had advantage, I believe because this thing technically counts
as undead. Oh hell yeah, it is a construct, but
technically counts as undead. Well did which did you attack?
You attacked with a.
Speaker 1: Lunar stife, though not with no That's sorry. I wouldn't
have given you hold on.
Speaker 9: Why did you have advantage?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 9: Was it because of them?
Speaker 1: Because of how the should have been? Do you still
have a valkyrie strike on you?
Speaker 2: That's a fucking That's why we ended that fight. We
just I'm gonna take that off your setting. So you
dropped a second one, so that would have been your role.
Speaker 1: You got to nineteen.
Speaker 9: You hit it?
Speaker 8: Whoa what.
Speaker 1: You strike to award it? Carving into it?
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to register the damage, even though it
clearly takes finds purchase on it. But it doesn't grimace
and react as if hurt you deal nineteen thirteen.
Speaker 1: Sorry points the damage?
Speaker 7: Oh I didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't do much to it. Maybe it's a what
I because? Well, no, I couldn't. I couldn't switch to
root Bloom for the second strike. Could I two strikes
with one?
Speaker 8: Oh? I good?
Speaker 6: All right, Well it's just.
Speaker 1: I did say anything.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure the yeah game, Okay,
I'm gonna try to hit it a root Bloom.
Speaker 6: Then we're gonna try. Okay, Well, if this does nothing,
what does root blum? You look like a thorny boy.
Speaker 1: So you'd have to cover that final five feet if that's.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, that's fair. That is a four for twelve.
Speaker 1: Use that it strikes it. I mean it does the damage.
I want to be clear about that.
Speaker 2: The last one did do the damage. It just didn't
seem hurting feel it. Yeah, you switch weapons rushing to
strike it. Root Bloom resumes it's blade like form. As
you go into attack it. Your blade feels like it
finds purchased. At first you stab into it, but then
you find that the section you stabbed into was like
loose skin. You don't actually make any connection with muscle
or organs or anything. It doesn't do damage.
Speaker 23: Ummm woggerigger Wait.
Speaker 8: Not nineteen for a twenty four?
Speaker 1: So that's through Oh yeah, dagger right, that hits just what.
Speaker 6: That's a one for a food.
Speaker 1: I don't think you dropped in on him, did I not?
Speaker 11: I'll do it.
Speaker 2: That attack as you strike toward it does half damage.
Actually no, wait, yeah it does half damage.
Speaker 1: Oh it didn't apply toway.
Speaker 2: Oh is it doing that thing again? I'm gonna remove
undead from its sheet so that it doesn't do that
stupid targeting thing. I'll probably do that Desmond too fucking
but anyway.
Speaker 1: You do your.
Speaker 18: Where where are?
Speaker 1: You just have to manually play your day average?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine recording data down by.
Speaker 9: Hand in D and D?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 6: Right, nineteen ten times are weird?
Speaker 1: All right? That's your three attackes that you That is me,
Lawrence Desmond drawn deck.
Speaker 9: Uh you didn't want over here? Well dupe duding and
then he he would stick his head out from behind
the wagon there and be like, hey, you're ruggle.
Speaker 8: Who got you?
Speaker 1: Guys?
Speaker 9: He's gonna vicious mycreat gotcha? Oh? Starting to himself?
Speaker 10: You did?
Speaker 1: I just have to confirm it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're starting both.
Speaker 8: Popped up for.
Speaker 1: They fail.
Speaker 17: Yeah, get right, and all right?
Speaker 4: Is that you?
Speaker 9: I think? So let me double check. I would be
remiss if they did not deflight deflect.
Speaker 1: All right, Desmond, your turn, Pepper. You're on deck.
Speaker 9: And he's gonna move there. He's gonna actually hop over
this fence and down this way, and then he's gonna
shoot at it. We'll do the rifle well, sorry, I
guess so you know I'll do the regular step bonus
action Hunter's mark. Well, actually can I I think I'm
gonna have to burn a second level slot for this. Yeah,
I'm I'm still all over my first little slots. Where
are you? Hunter's mark? Thanks that slot and then a
rifle shot one twenty four to hit?
Speaker 1: That is a hit?
Speaker 9: Wait? Am I targeting myself as well?
Speaker 1: Yes? Don't do that, Aaron. Why is everything you're doing
targeting all of yourselves?
Speaker 9: I have wow, no idea. So let me reverse that
around because I think that was at myself.
Speaker 1: Nope, there was. The attack that was aimed at them
was a twenty four.
Speaker 9: It hit.
Speaker 1: Oh sweet, all right, I will drop that onto them.
It's doing that stupid thing. I think it's because something
to do with an IF statement on your sheet it's
picking up that. It's like, yeah, okay, so seventeen, let
me just actually mark it on its sheet that rifle, yes, okay,
you shoot it, you find that vult, the bullet finds purchase.
But he does half damage.
Speaker 9: Oh no, all right, second trusts twenty eight that ends
still hits, and twenty.
Speaker 1: One once again half damage.
Speaker 9: All right. He's gonna up, as I mean, cinematically, I
guess he's gonna start switching to his revolvers. He he's
not really working well, your magic, that's Desmond.
Speaker 1: Pepper, your turn, Scarn, you're on deck.
Speaker 8: Hmmm, hal far is the critter from me?
Speaker 9: Right now?
Speaker 8: Oh boy, okay, oh give me an arrow please, let's
see the beast. Okay, okay, this round, don't play it same.
I'll run over here.
Speaker 11: And I'll open fire with finger guns of blazing and
eldritch blasts mm hm, which will go like this.
Speaker 8: Hey go, that's a sixteen plus whatever my modifier is.
Speaker 11: It's for twenty three, yes, excellent, that does hit, so
what and ten of damage?
Speaker 8: A six this next one.
Speaker 1: It's not applying it for them you either. You dropped
it on him, right, Yes, that's so weird. Why is
it just not letting people try like do damage to things.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go through the extension sometime this week and
figure that out because that was happening last time too.
Speaker 11: All right, Yodeos, And then I do another and this
one's going to be like a nineteen or something that
I could on that'd be awesome.
Speaker 8: That's a sixteen.
Speaker 1: That's a hit I did hit.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we love to hear it.
Speaker 1: I just realized.
Speaker 2: So, just so you know, a few of the attacks
you guys have made have actually felt like they've done nothing,
including that last Eldritch.
Speaker 8: Blast, because it's for damage.
Speaker 1: Who knows. All you know is that when you hit it,
it doesn't seem to shake its body at all, no damage.
Speaker 8: Pep Pepper thinks.
Speaker 11: And casts deflect different at the same time. She's a multitasker.
Speaker 1: It is, oh no, and given that you are right
in front of it, you are going it is going
to attack Lilia. It is going to use a future
of it. It's going to use a ravaging frenzy.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: It steps forward, lets out this multi layered roar of
various bestial creatures all roaring together, and it is going too.
The first attack it makes is going to have advantage
and disadvantage.
Speaker 1: As it goes for a claw attack, it swings towards
your lilia No twenty six.
Speaker 6: Wow, that hits Yeah, I'm guessing. I'm guessing. Let me
see my AC is, My AC is in fact thirteen.
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if you could tell me that.
Speaker 9: Dude.
Speaker 1: It swings toward full and mediate. Yep, you take seventeen
points of damage.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: And also as it hits you, the force of the
attack knocks you prone no, and pushes you back ten feet.
Speaker 2: It then advances rushing after you, galloping as though it
thinks it's a horse, and goes for another attack on you.
As you're down on the ground. I'm going to make
sure that you have the vicious mockery is off of it.
It's going to rush toward you, bring up its claw
to strike you on the ground as advantage.
Speaker 1: Seventeen.
Speaker 9: That is a hit.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 2: As you hit the ground and roll, it catches up
to you, hits you again, deals twenty three more points
of damage and strikes you, causing you to fly off
behind Pepper Pepper. They go over you hit the ground
as you look to them, concerned, You look back as
you hear it rushing in on you, and it is
going to make a.
Speaker 1: Bite attack against you with advantage because of frenzy. No,
twenty four, that doesn't hit.
Speaker 8: Why it hits you?
Speaker 1: Take Oh, it shouldn't have done that to itself.
Speaker 4: That was for pepper.
Speaker 8: Thirty points of much Oh do I resist any of it?
Speaker 2: Is it under you would resist half of it? So
do fifteen points of damage? Sleigh and you are knocked
back ten feet. Not so sligh and prone as it
grabs you and hurls you off to the side.
Speaker 1: Scart.
Speaker 8: It's not as fun as when my friends do it.
Speaker 1: Whoa, you did that perfectly and sing with a notification.
There was a little ding that happened underneath that.
Speaker 9: It was funny.
Speaker 4: This guy's right here, So I'm gonna move right in
here if I can have a nice little middle pot
right here, and then uh sharpshooter.
Speaker 12: Gotcha.
Speaker 4: Minus five plus.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna aim extra.
Speaker 19: Hold them.
Speaker 1: No, No, that eleven. That eleven misses all right.
Speaker 9: Again again.
Speaker 1: That one hits twenty three though now twenty three is
a hit.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, uh plus him.
Speaker 1: Fold them. It takes the full thirty points of damage.
Speaker 4: Cool, he does get hurt by that nice, nice, Nice.
Speaker 2: You fire it a bolt of lightning, an extra strong
bolt of lightning because you use sharpshooters.
Speaker 1: When you aimed, it was like a large charge of electricity.
Speaker 2: You pulled back and it reduced down to this almost
arrow of electricity that you shoot at it. It strikes,
It goes in one side of the creature out the
other side. Its body seems to seize up briefly, and
then it continues moving, but it did deal all of
its damage.
Speaker 4: Nice thunder lotus nice.
Speaker 1: All right, you know the I think you know the drill,

the list electrical charge builds up and crashes down where

to go for fire damage.
Speaker 1: So you cast level four see of what like three
attacks against him?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 6: See level four high levels.
Speaker 1: Before naturally, so you can fire three shots at it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think that's during my my bonus action.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is your action to cast it. Then your bonus
action to fire three of them, So this will be
your attack for the turn.
Speaker 1: So shoot your first of them, all right, eight targeted?
Speaker 6: Yeah, then hold on. This looks so weird now, Okay,
so I think it's this one.
Speaker 1: There's the range spell attack that's like in the middle
of its effects. Yeah, so you fire a fire.
Speaker 2: You cast the spell, you go forward, You sweep your
blade up around you, and a series of these spiritual blades,
well not blades, these arcs of energy appear in a
semicircle surrounding behind you, each of them a different element.
They split into smaller clusters. You point toward this thing,
one series of them fires toward it.
Speaker 1: You hit, So then you just have to do the Uh.
First of all, let's did you put the effect on yourself?
Speaker 4: I do think you did.
Speaker 1: I'm in there. I'll just do this.
Speaker 4: I got it.
Speaker 1: I'm in Just roll the fire against it. The fire damage.
Speaker 6: Oh it's the two D fire damage.
Speaker 11: Six.
Speaker 1: That one hits it and doesn't seem to do anything. Oh,
interesting it is, isn't it though? Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 7: It looks so flammable? What you mean, you know, fluffy
in your feather? Roll me.
Speaker 1: A nature check.
Speaker 7: You're right.
Speaker 6: It could be a deciduous tree.
Speaker 2: They retain moisture, making them the bad guys are secretly trees.
Speaker 5: It's a I think it's a deciduous tree, as the
ones that retain water so they don't really burn or
I don't know my trees.
Speaker 6: Where's my nature?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 6: It is Oh, that's a Negative's gonna be a negative.
Speaker 1: Three?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that's a tan.
Speaker 1: As you hit it, you get the sense of two things.
Speaker 2: One, it doesn't seem to be resistant necessarily to most
of the damage you guys have done to it. It
is resistant, does seem to be resistant to some of
the weapon attacks. But it just seems like this thing
is hearty and it is simply resisting damage. That doesn't
mean a certain threshold. You've encountered that before. However, regarding
weaknesses or strengths, the only thing you could piece together
that you might exploit is this seems to have been
sewn together from a series of different creatures.
Speaker 1: All melded together.
Speaker 2: The only weak points that you can really pinpoint is
that there are noticeable seams on chunks of its body
that do seem to be where it's being held together.
Speaker 1: But how you would exploit those? Hm, who knows.
Speaker 6: You gotta stab them in the eye.
Speaker 1: Well, stabbing is one of the things that's resisted.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I know, like, ummm, I see that he's got
some seams he's in his feet sees.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we're gonna, if if it's possible, we're gonna
we're gonna try to We're gonna try to do the
sythes on his feet seas.
Speaker 2: So you've already used your action to cast that. Oh yeah,
you're right, you use your bonus action. So you're remaining
two attacks have to be with to Mama's aerofall.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, then we're gonna aim to Mama's aerofall at
his feed sees.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, all right, HOBBOI.
Speaker 6: Twelve for a dirty.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty hits. Which damage type would you.
Speaker 4: Like to use?
Speaker 6: We are going to do cold damage, okay, haabai sixteen.
Speaker 1: So that attack did damage.
Speaker 2: It didn't seem to exploit any weaknesses, but when you
hit it with it, a chunk of its flesh does
freeze and chunk off.
Speaker 1: Wow, that full damage went through.
Speaker 10: Okay, and then I got one more right, Yeah, okay,
we're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 6: Go for them feet seas again.
Speaker 5: We're gonna go for them grippers blah, dirty twenty again.
Speaker 1: Nice, that's also it hit I hit.
Speaker 6: We're gonna go for acid h blah.
Speaker 2: But as you fire toward it, your humble five would
fall under its threshold and do no damage. But as
the acid strikes the seams on its body. They seem
to weaken it. It causes it to fall apart. Partially.
Speaker 1: It seems to be vulnerable to acid damage. Oh right,
Scott ellut and that five made vulnerable.
Speaker 2: It doubled through its vulnerability becomes a ten, which is
just enough to beat its damage threshold.
Speaker 10: Sleigh like literally.
Speaker 18: Slay, Lili, slay.
Speaker 6: It only cost me? Where am I at health flies
forty house?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Go hey me too, baby girl, me too.
Speaker 1: That's your action and bonus action. Would you like to
do anything else?
Speaker 6: Can I move?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Fifteen?
Speaker 1: You have half your movement whatever that ends.
Speaker 6: Up being all right, we're gonna we're gonna move over here.
We're gonna we're gonna create some distance.
Speaker 1: You rush off back from Pepper.
Speaker 2: As you hit this thing with acid, it lets out
a screech as parts of its body begin to sizzle away,
but it is still active. Lawrence, it's your turn, and
Desmond's on deck.
Speaker 21: Uh Lulia, jeez, oh gosh, golly, oh shucks, all fiends,
they're gonna they're gonna run.
Speaker 1: An absence of carry. Lawrence will slowly devolve into everybody's
attempt at morty.

Speaker 9: At this stage, I.
Speaker 8: See it is not reacting as such.
Speaker 17: To the Keep hitting over this, just get hitting over

Speaker 8: Oh no, thirteen do I pass?
Speaker 1: It is then going to As it hits you, it
leaps its wings flap, and it flies up above you
and lands.
Speaker 2: On the other side, between you and Lily. As it
does so, this thing looks silly when it flies. Its
wings flap way too hard. They're both awkward. One moves
more quickly than the other side. It goes over you,
then lets it fall down, lets itself drop in.
Speaker 1: Between both of you, and that is that's it. Scarn

Uh yeah, let's plus quick.
Speaker 1: You fire a bolt of lighting towards it. Then once
you do that, please inform me of how do you
do this? Scarn hey forty seven?
Speaker 14: Okay, after throwing bows, I'm not bows, but throwing arrows
in different places, I'm like, all right, dragon serge, arm
lights up and I'm just like tongue out aiming directly
at this guy. I'm like uge, drooling, trying to hit
a black flash right now, aiming at this thing.
Speaker 1: And I let this one fly and it.
Speaker 4: Is the most direct shot. Just straight through his entire body.
Speaker 2: You fired, It goes toward it, strikes it. This beam
of condensed lightning hits it in the chest, blasts through it.
It goes over Pepper's head and soars down the tunnel
as it leaves a burnt hole through this creature, which
stumbles and collapses very suddenly lifelessly.
Speaker 1: On the ground.
Speaker 8: Hey you scarred.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I almost hit you. I wasn't trying to do that.
Speaker 25: No fun, I could have taken it. No, you can, really, goodness,
I was, I was on the ropes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: As the bolt of lightning flies down and out of
the dropping edge pit, you hear a distant like whoa
from an undertow member as they see it. You then
see them poke their head around and look inside toward
all of you.
Speaker 1: Oh you killed it. Well, my weapons weren't able to
do any damage. Oh yeah, it's all good. You can
anybody else down there? Uh? The others ran ahead? Is
a big cappy bar up with you? And to which
Begel steps out from behind a house and just like
presses its front feet rhythmically onto the ground, just stomps
a little.
Speaker 11: Just.
Speaker 1: Always has that thing came out of nowhere?
Speaker 4: Will Yeah, is this thing?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. We went to check on everyone. We
were told the Leona was missing, so we went searching
for her and we found her. We found her heading
toward the whirlpool. Begel was following in behind her, but
as soon as we tried to approach her, that thing
just showed up and chased us away. She didn't even
respond when we called.
Speaker 9: Out to her.
Speaker 4: Yes, classic, classic Leon.
Speaker 1: She was heading towards World Town. Yeah, she couldn't have
gone anywhere else. There's nowhere else to go.
Speaker 9: I need to go check on her. I'll be back.
Speaker 4: Does it get an idea to split out?
Speaker 9: I mean you can.
Speaker 8: You've been rolling my safe, So I'm coming with you,
all right?
Speaker 4: I think I should.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know where I'm going. I'm just here.
Speaker 1: So Desmond, who who is going to go with Desmond?
Just to delineate if Desmond runs off in search of Leayuna.
Speaker 4: Peb I feel like Lawrence honestly the Bagel. Yeah, Lawrence
is going with them.
Speaker 11: Lawrence would go, yeah, I'm I'm I feel like I'm
the cop on this one.
Speaker 8: I'm in hot pursue.
Speaker 2: So team uh Bagel, Lilia and scarn are remaining here.
Team Lawrence, Pepper Desmond are heading in that direction with
that to avoid getting too too far ahead. And so
if you've just done a battle, we done did a
bunch of things today. We're just under three hours as
you guys split up and you rushed to head toward Layuna.
Speaker 1: I think that's where I'd like us to stop for
the day.
Speaker 4: And I set up for an a plot for the
next episode.
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely more fun at high drinks like today. Oh,
we never took a break.
Speaker 11: I have things to show, squeaky, I'm a roll credits
where's my cre.
Speaker 7: Like freaking peak when Lily went full crime mode, I'm
sorry I did.
Speaker 2: And if you did what also? And I know this
is especially relevant to you right now. Unfortunately it is discord.
Speaker 1: Audio at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's like, which isn't the worst, especially
because we boost the channel so we can have like
fucking three twenty kbs for these chicks.
Speaker 1: Ye, but it is discord at the end of the day.
Speaker 22: It's that thing of when I learned that that setting
was like kind of like Fucky walkying it, it was like, oh,
that's a difference, and I'm not saying it was like
a peak difference, but it was like, oh, that is
like again that there's a difference between my my audio
cutting in and out sometimes.
Speaker 6: And like, sorry, I was just I was moving, I
was moving my mic and.
Speaker 1: I guess it just like my audio sounds better now
I've fixed it, got.
Speaker 5: But it was it was it was the thing of
like I had to listen to it and I was like,
are you fucking kidding me? It's this, this is what's
been causing like the weird cutouts in my audio whenever
I go into like more breathi or lower tones.
Speaker 6: This is bullshit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, echo cancelation is pretty indiscriminate. It's good for just
casual hanging out, but like in my opinion, most of
Discord's audio processing.
Speaker 1: Is bad for the quality of the audio. You generally
want to handle that stuff like on your actual tech side.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, on my on my end, my audio is
usually more or less good because it sounds fine on
my streams.
Speaker 6: So it's like that's where I'm like, what the fuck.
Speaker 5: But even even if it's just a little thing, a
tiny improvement, I think it'll hopefully be enough for me.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just saw the pictures you posted
on account.
Speaker 9: If you're.
Speaker 8: Morenderism like as it was happening.
Speaker 1: But then, holy shit, fucking color one of these it
could just be one of our wallpapers.
Speaker 8: Yo, sure to be sure to wait until it break.
Speaker 1: I do love how detailed Satoon is and how like
one quarter Chiby Louia is.
Speaker 26: At any given point, like a half step away from
being a Looney Tunes character, like these points where they
ground themselves and they go like full depth realism. That's
kind of like the crack that they're like Loony Tunes.
Defense shield cute, cute, cute.
Speaker 1: All right, I have to go rush off to take
care of a little kitten. Uh.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't got to rush off, but I
gotta get off to take care of a kitten. And
I'll play death stranding until all they can think about
his deliveries.
Speaker 1: Uh. So we are going too, I do believe take off.
This was fun.
Speaker 2: We'll be back next week. We shouldn't have any interruptions.
We should have everybody back next week, as far as
I'm aware.
Speaker 9: That seems to be the situation.
Speaker 1: Cool cool, cool cool, uh and we will. Oh, it'll
