Speaker 3: I don't even know how you did that? Want did
you turn your thing off? It's all gone wrong today.
My OBS is losing its ship. There's no audio, and
it means it's probably not going to be audio during
the breaks for some reason. This is an OBS thing.
I don't know.
Speaker 10: My My obs crashed earlier on stream, but it stayed
live and it stayed live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had that before because you can run OBS twice.
I've clicked obs twice on like thing, and there's been
one behind the other one and the one that wasn't
running crash so I just thought I was like done,
you know, I like stood up, pulled my pants down,
ship down my own legs, and then everyone was like, yo,
what the fun? I was like, oh no, I can't
do the after stream is the after stream ritual? Yeah,
that's what every streamer does. Conn wouldn't understand every streamer
just stripping. Just this week, Connor, you're the only one here.
There was another one who got there's gotta be one
in chat somewhere that we can abuse. Is Peachy.
Speaker 7: Ban him affiliates Phillias don't get a little check mark

Speaker 6: Kill Oh my god, that's amazing.
Speaker 8: Okay, Brad, you know that new item that I have?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 8: Can we just like scratch on top of it every
single person in this group?
Speaker 3: Yes? Absolutely? That Jesse?
Speaker 5: What that picture?
Speaker 3: What where did you even get that picture?
Speaker 4: What you.
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 6: I'm sorry?
Speaker 3: So cute? That's how Rajah actually looks. We just er

How are you doing real, Rotato, I'm.
Speaker 5: Doing fantastic, you heard him? Yes, yeah, yeah, that's how
I'm doing. I'm doing great. You had a great week.
Speaker 10: Actually, no, dude, I'm I'm amazing. I'm doing amazing and
PUBG so I'm doing great. All I've done is play
Final Fantasy fourteen. So life is good.
Speaker 4: Is the end of the world?
Speaker 3: Is that why you're doing great? Because you're not playing
it anymore?
Speaker 10: No, I got one hundred and forty four herds monitors,
so like everything is Oh my god, it's it's a
different game. It's a different game, like Jesse knows where
why what?
Speaker 3: You're such a fucking poser? Are these fucking pictures? Dude?
Take take a picture? There we go, take a pictures.
Speaker 6: Jealous?
Speaker 10: How do I exploit you asking for my balls again, Brad?
Speaker 3: Because I got a new picture where we got.
Speaker 7: Those pictures from. It's called googling Brotato And yeah that's
actually that's like the fourth picture that shows up.
Speaker 5: You guys are fucking amateurs. This is like the third
picture and the one he has that's like the fourth picture.
You guys are amateurs. This is the only picture. I mean,
I look like an amateur.
Speaker 10: Right, all right, there are This is the only picture
that you fucking need one second.
Speaker 5: If you're gonna do it, at least do it right.
Speaker 3: You show balls.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be my balls, right.
Speaker 4: Hey whoa, that actually almost works.
Speaker 5: I was going to use that one. I was thinking about.
Speaker 3: That big mic. Yeah, oh dear, that's good. Tuesday's regretted
joining this cruise so very much. Yeah, well bet Connor too. Actually,
Connor's just had nothing but abuse Tuesdays surrounded by protatoes.
Speaker 5: We're all brotato now and then me.
Speaker 3: The most facetious twat from the planet. So you're yeah,
I'm like channeling my inner Everybody.
Speaker 12: Is super spicy, so it's probably a little spicy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how you doing?
Speaker 4: Fair?
Speaker 3: Like what you've been up to? I saw that you
played one game of pub in the first time in
ages and won.
Speaker 7: That I did, and then and then played several there
after and continued murdering people.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 7: I finally got over the tech and binge. I've just
been I've just, honestly, the one thing I've really been
enjoying is being a partner instead of a.
Speaker 3: I feel you. Yeah, it warms the belly like a
good whiskey.
Speaker 5: I was going to keep a straight face and just
bash on. I'm too Canadian to be a part of that.
Speaker 4: This is killing my character on the inside.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're all dead and it's not my fault.
Speaker 3: Like, I didn't do it.
Speaker 7: I got off the I got off the tech and
binge and I went back to playing other stuff. So
I got reacquainted with PUBG and Darkest Dungeon the DLC
and uh what else have I been playing?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 7: The new the s O S the new game that
just like is in there alpha test right now.
Speaker 5: Oh, the PUBG clone.
Speaker 7: Yeah no, it's like a it's more like a culling clone.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gonna be so many PUBG clones coming soon,
and you ready for the waves and waves that are probably.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a bunch because.
Speaker 7: S O S is different. And this because like in
the Coloring, you either que up solo or you q
up duo, right, or at least you did back before
that game died miserably, But in in so OS. In
SOS you everyone cues up solo, but you can make
inform alliances on the fly. So it places a huge
emphasis on negotiation and lying to people. And then a
lot of people running around doing RP type stuff, so
it's a lot. It's a lot more personality driven than
the Culling, which was purely competitive because the Culing didn't
even have voice comes right, you couldn't talk to each other.
I think you said didn't have boys. Yeah, there were
no boys at all. Designed by raabd rabid feminists men.
So I actually had to lie and put my name
like I used Jessica, like, I had to send them
pictures from that stream.
Speaker 5: They're like, no, this is me for real.
Speaker 7: And that was the only way they let me play.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, horrific. It's already. How you doing?
Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm having like a freaking conniption on the inside,
so against my personality, but it's so fun to be
taking all these shots. Satire and parody is fun. Good.
Darkens Dungeon as well Fairlight. How you've been liking Darkness?
Speaker 7: By the way, I haven't got far enough into it
to look at the DLC content stuff yet. I started
a fresh playthrough, so yeah, and that was just like yesterday,
so okay, cool. So I haven't really got into the
new stuff yet.
Speaker 3: Everyone tells me people the game.
Speaker 7: Is just as in the game is just as enraging
as I remember with the concept RNG complete bull Crab
is it?
Speaker 3: Like, what is not that good? What is it? Because
everyone tells me to play?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: Darkness Dungeon is basically a turn based uh, It's a
turn based dungeon crawl RPG, and it's very Lovecraftian and
Cathulhuish with the like the the tentacles and Darkness type
monsters and stuff like that. But the big like draw
that makes it different from other games is that you
have like a mental durability as well as HP, and
if your characters see too many horrific things, they get
mentally scarred and they start freaking out, so you.
Speaker 5: Gotta like manage that as well as their HP.
Speaker 7: And of course it's also got perma death and like
immediately saved, like there's no you can't.
Speaker 5: Like have and everything too.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, so if the character dies, it's like it's
already auto saved and you can't go back and stuff
like that.
Speaker 4: Ye screw.
Speaker 10: Basically, Pathfinder meets Call of Cthulhu meets like a two
D game. It's like like Pathfinder and Call of Cthulhu
mixed into a game, and then it was made into
a two D game, So it's kind of me.
Speaker 3: It sounds like it would it would be a game
that I'd enjoy it.
Speaker 4: It's the the hardest part about it is the learning curve,
so it's a really steep and no, no, you'll be fine.
You just got ready to.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 7: Okay, as long as you don't care about keeping your
party members alive, you're fine because you can infinitely replace
them for free.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's if you if you get really
irritated that your party member isn't exactly perfect, they have
a bunch of negatives to them, diseases and all this
horrible shit that that bothered me to no end after
playing all those j RPGs where everybody's immaculate, you find
the best optional weapons, blah blah blah. No that guy
that character now lost an arm has syphilis and uh,
if there's torchlight on, they turn into a small cat
and lick their butt. You're like, what the budget Hell, yeah.
Speaker 7: It's uh, there's it's a lot harder to make like
brokenly good optimized characters in a game that repeatedly slaps
you with negative status effects and curses and diseases. NonStop,
so eventually you just get to the point where you're
just too far gone. Then you dismissed that, like you're
not worth trying to repair.
Speaker 3: At this point, it sounds like what I was going
to run before I run Dustbell, I was gonna run
Forgotten Miss, and it was going to have the sanatey
ba because you can add that this the dn D
five E has an option to add sanity as a
HP thing, and yeah, I was going to do it.
I was going to have that.
Speaker 4: Would any of our characters except for maybe Carlias and
Roger mostly have any sanity?
Speaker 3: No one would have done it was. I was gonna
like really channel my inner wax even and try and
kill you know, like like really like go to the
like the opposite of what I normally run.
Speaker 4: Oh that's why you created the steam efforts last week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember, By the way, was just that I
actually had an option to have a train attack you,
which is magical thing, and I was like, that's cool,
I want to do that.
Speaker 4: Great until I took forty damage. Yeah no, it was.
Speaker 5: It was man, if only somebody didn't throw a sword
at you by act, you know, you know, thanks.
Speaker 4: I'm just glad I didn't slide down the stairs. It
would have been gone.
Speaker 8: Probably you guys want to I'm going to jump in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just ignore Tuesday. I don't care how Tuesday's
week either.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We all Tuesday already went.
Speaker 6: Sorry to have a rabbit feminist twitch partner. Now, let's play.
Speaker 7: Affiliate partner.
Speaker 5: Sorry potato over here just said over the fucking woman.
Speaker 3: It's just as long as you were a partner. You're good.
You're the rabbit.
Speaker 7: The rabbit feminist attacks.
Speaker 5: Getting affiliate, by the way, and getting your sub.
Speaker 9: Affiliate like three months ago, Just fuck off and let
me be nice, let me love you, all right, all right?
Speaker 5: Fuck him?
Speaker 3: Never mind?
Speaker 5: We sucking.
Speaker 4: I don't want to stream after this. I'm glad. I'm
going out of town.
Speaker 3: Give me your stream. Can I'll do a little stream
for Twitter?
Speaker 6: Check Twitter?
Speaker 5: Alright, check Twitter?
Speaker 3: Wait what happened?
Speaker 5: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was like like she.
Speaker 5: Like recorded a quickly. Oh my god, let me tell
you what they just said, didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're no longer no longer mad about affiliates. Look
like these people.
Speaker 10: What's that meme that I was assaulted? It's it's like
some guy like brushes on a girl's like shoulder or something.
Speaker 3: It's feminist in an expo meme that's been coming out
this week.
Speaker 5: You know what's better is metal gear memes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, can we stick to the metals camera?
Speaker 3: Okay? Last week in Metal Gear Solid, we found out
that g W was in fact an AI and the
Lyley l and the Patriots were part of that AI.
Speaker 4: This week, what about the Sons of the Patriots.
Speaker 3: The Sons of the Patriots were the group that came
before that.
Speaker 4: I think I've lost all.
Speaker 3: I can't struggle as well. I have played those games
so many times. I still don't know. The story in
dust Veil Less confusing in terms of a story, maybe
I don't know. Actually, as far as what I've given you,
it's pretty confusing, isn't it, you guys? Essentially major way
to the Tower of Arcana, which is just a huge,
great pig dark stone, ancient looking tower that looks older
than most of the architecture that you generally see in
and around the continent of dust Fail In the town
of Windy Peaks, you went to this Arcana Tower of Arcana,
you found this little goblin guy who let you in
there was no weird Lally lu lay Low metal gear
reference there whatsoever. I don't know what you're talking about.
He let you in thanks to Arden kind of tricking him.
Oh wow, you tricked him.
Speaker 5: You tricked him in.
Speaker 3: Your own you guess the past word correctly. So essentially
he thinks that you're like a member of the towers.
Weird kind of.
Speaker 4: I think I'm a lot of things, probably a member
of a tower. Yeah, it's not drigging you persuadeable.
Speaker 3: You went in and he told you, oh, Fectus is
on the fifth floor. You went up a floor, but
you found that the floors were all like interchangeable, and
that every time you went up a layer you were
potentially on a different floor. There's like a it looks
like an eighteen story building, but there is in fact
like a hundred, and they're kind of at random. When
you got up to the next floor, you could be
on any one of those floors. The first floor had
a secret door, a door which you had to tell
a secret to be able to pass through. Each of
you told it a secret, a dark secret, apart from Arden,
who first didn't tell a dark secret and then told
what was a dark secret to him that he doesn't
always feel beautiful. And then you went to like an
arcane tavern where there was a ghostly drowse serving drinks
in exchange for barter. Then you had an encounter with
a gibbering malva, which is a horrible creature. You met
a sort of strange, middle aged, cultish looking woman who
was very interested in Carlias's interaction with the sort of
demi god of the Sands Titan, and then you encountered
a train sort of sticking out of a wall which
launched loads of steam out, and then those that steam
transformed into steam methods, and you engaged in a quite
quite difficult a lot more difficult than at least I
was expecting. And I'm sure you were expecting to fight
these little shitty things because D and D in rolls
combat with these little steam methods. You managed to feat them,
and then you decided to take a rest there, I
think because you sort of felt safe in the room
with the demon train sticking through the wall, and pretty
much that's where we're going to pick up, so let
me just find the.
Speaker 7: Map that we were I was thinking of just throwing
a phoenix down at the train to see what would happen.
Speaker 3: You would work if you had a phoenix down. If
you have a phoenix down and use it on anything,
it will work automatically. I have to find one.
Speaker 7: Can I throw holy water on the train next time?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That won't work. Downs killed trains. Yes, you have a question,
my child.
Speaker 4: Can I bless water? Yeah? I just can't create the water.
Speaker 5: No, you gotta boil the hell out of it.
Speaker 3: God damn. I hope your character dies. Yeah, yeah, I can't.
I can't remember. Actually what the rules are?
Speaker 4: Were never thought about it?
Speaker 3: How do How does clerics? Can clerics make holy war?
Because it's pretty it's one of their class abilities. They
have to offer up like ten silver and take an
hour or something like that to do it. Oh well,
it's us nice we have I forgot by the only
chat have fair Light every other day I need chat
if I have fair Light, who is a human encyclopedia
And it's incredibly impressive. I don't know how you do it,
but it's so useful.
Speaker 5: Fairly, I think fair Light knows the book better than
you and.
Speaker 3: I can definite, which is really intimidating.
Speaker 4: Before before we.
Speaker 3: Even started this campaign, I was like fair like you
need to DM.
Speaker 4: I'm busy I getting ready for tecking.
Speaker 7: Just yeah, I was busy playing tech and that and that.
And it's compensated for by the fact that I can't
remember anything important, just trivial crap that's irrelevant D and
D rules. I'll remember forever.
Speaker 3: You'll be there on your death bed now, but I
forget be like, ah, thirty feet thirty feet it's thirty
feet for a human that.
Speaker 10: I can't remember anybody's name, but I like know someone's
name in my chat that spoke six months ago and
exactly what they said, like fucking But people I meet
in personally, yeah, I met you three years ago that
we've never met.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, fine, I did that to a guy.
Speaker 5: I met him in person.
Speaker 7: He introduced himself and I read and it was at
a high my name is type meeting thing and he
had his name tag on with his full name. Didn't
see him again for like two years, ran into him again,
recognized him. He had no idea who who he was
God and I and I asked him. I was like, no,
I remember you're this person. And he's like no, and
I said and then and then I spelled out his
last name which was like sixteen digits long. Oh my god,
and then he just got a whole looks at me
because you're scary, Like sorry.
Speaker 5: Max hex East. Last year I met the same person
three times in two hours and forgot who they were.
Speaker 4: Well that's the usual.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's anyway, So D and D Yes, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You guys are in here. I'm happy if you want
to sort of fast forward because you are safe in
here through a rest. If you want to have had
a rest, to either a short or long rest, you
guys can have had that time since last week. Or
if you wanted to do something more pressing, or you
wanted to use the downtime to do something, you can
entirely up to you as a group.
Speaker 8: Am I correct and saying we said we'd like sit
down and could can?
Speaker 5: I think we short rested at the end of the
last memory serves on the last week.
Speaker 3: You're going to sit down and rest, and you're free
to do that here. This is a good point to do.
Speaker 6: Cool company Hits does short rest recovery, so short.
Speaker 3: Rest will allow you to roll a hit diet. So
you'll see on your sheet it says hit die straight
in the middle somewhere total three because you're level three
and you can roll those. And what that does is
basically you can roll all three of them. You can
roll one of them, you can roll two of them,
and one of you roll is what you get back
as HP kind of like a heel. When you take
a long rest, you'll get half of your maximum hit
die back, and that one rounds up. I think it's
the only thing that rounds up in the game.
Speaker 4: Oh that does actually round up part that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything else rounds down, like damage and stuff.
Speaker 4: I don't know know that ruled up. Yeah. Man, I
thought I had a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of D and
D rules as well, But man, those are two things
that I had no idea about.
Speaker 3: There's weird ones. It's the weird ones that I tend
to remember over the basic rules because those are always
the ones that like funk me over a halfway through
a stream and I'm like, oh god, I don't know.
So I look it up and then I remember it
because it's something I find on some forum somewhere in
the deep web, as opposed to in the book. So yeah,
you guys can rest. Then short rest is like an hour.
Speaker 4: I also did heal all of us twelve, I believe
it was.
Speaker 5: Yes, you did a pretty big heel as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did the big heel. If you're a whole lot,
you get your complement of spells back, but everyone else
who's a spell caster you have to do a long rest.
Pretty sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh you get your spells back on a short rest.
Speaker 3: As a warlock. Oh it's a warlock. Yeah, warlocks, because
they don't they have.
Speaker 7: Like no, I thought you were talking to Tenhi. I
was like, what kind of changes did they make to clerics.
Speaker 3: Are already borderline broken if you if you've been maxan.
Speaker 7: Okay, well, Raja is just gonna stand guard then, because
now that I got healed by art and I have
no need for a short rest, so just keeping an
eye out.
Speaker 4: I think I'm okay too.
Speaker 3: You're oh wait, no, yeah, you healed your Yeah, I'm
gonna roll a hide because you went down. Yeah, even
flavor wise, you're probably gonna want to rest. Yeah, you
took a fucking polearm to the head or whatever it.
Speaker 4: Is us, which was pretty everything part of the pretty
awful clanks the eight. Alright, so so here in.
Speaker 3: The tower the time passes, whoever is just sort of
standing around milling about. If you were to look out
of the very small windows which are those little slits,
and you look out, you don't see the back end
of the train sticking out of the tower, but you
do see kind of just a fabric of night out there,
like a like stars all around you, as if you're
not in Windy Peaks anymore necessarily, it's almost as if
you're in space. Like you look down and the tower
just continues down until you can no longer see the bottom,
and continues up until you can no longer see the top.
It's very hard to make out if you can't get
a good angle on it. But yeah, this portion of
the tower doesn't appear to be necessarily on this on
the plane where dust veil the world of the Crone resides.
Other than that, it's pretty chill. There's two lights which
just give you just enough light to see in the room.
There's huge train which doesn't explode in steam or do
anything else demonic or strange. It just appears to be
the front of a train for all intents and purposes.
Nothing comes up the stairs, nothing comes down. After about
an hour, those of you that are injured feel a
little better arden after healing himself partially and just take
in a moment to let the concussion where off. You
probably feel well enough to continue. What do you want
to do?
Speaker 8: You're muted?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I won't take it real easy.
Speaker 9: Just make sure everybody's good after as I'm as we're
like ending, I'll check on everybody, but probably take.
Speaker 4: Most of that time to myself.
Speaker 5: Try to avoid getting hit by one of these there is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what happened, guys, but you should
just like really avoid steam ethods man. They suck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like you have a sort of mild
phobia of mefits now, yeah, even though really you should
have a mild phobia of Russia.
Speaker 4: I probably have that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a sort of a strange crackling noise that
you hear come from up the stairs like nothing nothing
really more and you don't you only hear it like once.
It's just like a like an electric crackling noise that
comes from up the stairs.
Speaker 5: Oh that doesn't sound good.
Speaker 12: Yeah, what what was that?
Speaker 3: Don't know? Are you guys done? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Should be good.
Speaker 5: Should we investigate?
Speaker 7: Let's get a move on.
Speaker 3: I agree, Raji, you're heading up the stairs.
Speaker 7: Well, wait till everyone else is like done gathering or
stuff and whatnot.
Speaker 3: We assume everyone like packs their bags. We can assume
everyone probably had some food or something, so you can
mark off a ration. If you haven't got rations, then
your stomach rumbles and and yeah, then you can make
your way upstairs. As Rajah and as Lash and as
Arden head up the stairs, leaving behind only Kenneth that
is up. Yeah, that's how.
Speaker 5: Raja stops on the stairs and watches big kind of cap.
Speaker 4: Not kiddy, I'm up the stairs, spits on the ground,
watch up the stairs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll go. I'll go to go up the
stairs as well.
Speaker 8: Carlos is gonna grab Kenneth m hm and throw them
to the ground.
Speaker 5: Ah, what's going on back down there?
Speaker 3: As as as a Lash and d and pass through
that kind of weird gravitational pull, they they cease to
be able to hear anything down below them. What do
you want to do, Kenneth?
Speaker 5: Can I Can I resist it? Can I struggle it
like we do it? Struggle snuggle?
Speaker 3: Or yeah, give me give me a pose, give me
a post athletics checks. Okay, yeah, you like you like
you like just in the nick of time kind of
see Carlos reach out for you, but it's nothing. Carlias
is like pretty damn strong. He's a dwarf as well,
so he's like naturally quite robust, and he just grips
you and just slams you. There's nothing you can do,
your prone, You just bam hit the ground behind where
Carlos is away from the stairs.
Speaker 5: Okay, yes, lass guns, both the scar shot and the pistol.
Speaker 4: That ja game.
Speaker 8: I know what you did, your son of a gun.
I know who you are.
Speaker 9: You can try and play dumb, but I know. But
those kids that you keep mentioning, I know what you did.
I've been on your tail since the day we met
at that train station. You're saying you're trying to find
them or think long and hard, because you already found them.
Speaker 8: You know, I know, don't you.
Speaker 5: I did what had to be done, had to be done,
had to be done.
Speaker 1: There were kids, your grandkids, They loved you. If they're
a family, you get went and did that, and I
would have lost them if I didn't, No, they would
have been taken.
Speaker 8: Man, doesn't just do that to those kids.
Speaker 4: You're not a man.
Speaker 8: You're a monster. Since the day we met on that
train station.
Speaker 3: I kept my eye on you, and what did you see?
Speaker 8: See that old lay and I saw her? And then
earlier today I knew something wasn't right and I knew
I found my target. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 5: So do you see what happens to people that get
in my way?
Speaker 8: You can try.
Speaker 9: I've played with bigger beasts than you. Right now, all
I see is an old, frail man, the shall of
a man. I was given a bounty mm hmm, told
to hunt you down after I saw what happened to
those kids that drove me to ensure that you never
hurt a single soul.
Speaker 5: What's the bounty I can pay?
Speaker 9: Triple Gold won't pay it. Retribution those poor little children
that'll pay it. Now, you better start praying. Whatever God
that you believe in, whatever being you have faith in,
you better start praying.
Speaker 8: Because I want to give you mercy nor forgiveness.
Speaker 10: Well, Carlias, it's been nice, but there's still something I
have to do. I'm gonna cast fog cloud at level
two yep, so it'll cover the entire room.
Speaker 3: Okay, go have a fog cloud.
Speaker 8: Before he does this? Am I able to get off
a shot?
Speaker 3: You are able to get off two shots because you
readied an action.
Speaker 10: Fuck secretly, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw fog cloud down
and I'm gonna run to the other staircase if I can.
Speaker 5: What is your ac second? Second one hits? So okay, two.
Speaker 3: Shots ring out As fog descends on the area Corlins.
You lose track of where Kenneth went, but you do
hear like a scream from him as something like you
definitely hit him with one of these shots, maybe through
the through the fog on the ground. You hear like
a of blood Kenneth. Mm hmm, you ken, I can't
make it all the way.
Speaker 5: Then, fuck it's fog cloud.
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.
Speaker 5: Are we doing like a turn order here? Or does
like does like he have a there's a soft.
Speaker 3: Turn order here which we can easily follow because it's yeah,
you and then him, you've got a bonus action.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna I guess I'll wait until his quote unquote
turn is over right, because he just shot?
Speaker 5: Is it me again?
Speaker 3: No, it's Calais. Calais having a ready in action, So I.
Speaker 5: Guess it's you. I think the fun Does the fog
cloud obscure like it's not? Yeah? It's just heavily obscured,
so like he wouldn't be able to see me in
the room.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, he would have disadvantage to just shoot at
you and unless he comes up next to you. I think, yeah,
what if I take a dead eye shot? What is
dead eye shot? Again?
Speaker 8: It's spent one grid to gain an advantage on the
next attack role.
Speaker 3: Then that brings it up to like just a standard standard. Yeah,
like normal, non advantage, non disadvantage. Two shots again, both dead.
I I'm gonna use.
Speaker 10: Both of my first level spells left induce shield, okay
as a reaction, so I buy as Oh, neither of
them hit.
Speaker 5: Actually, never mind, that's regard. Wait I think five a C.
Yeah it was. It would have been. It would have
been ten AC, so I would have had fifteen.
Speaker 3: But fifteen. I mean you can try and bring up shield.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it, and then that's it. That's all it takes.
Speaker 3: Someone takes first shot, launches forward. You see Kenneth bringing
up his hands about to cast a spell for shield
before one of his hands is shot back a hole
in it. Before he can finish casting the spell, he
turns one way and then his eye just explodes and
He spins back with falls down on the ground and
he is he is dead. He falls to the ground,
blood begins to pour out. The fog completely and utterly disappears. Carlias,
you have your bounty? What you've killed? Your bounty? You
don't have?
Speaker 8: Then he's going to walk over a home. Mm hm
take his Where was the certification?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You have?
Speaker 3: What do you have on you?
Speaker 10: That's proof, Kenneth, you still have your Yeah, the I
guess a proof for a bounty would will be my
scroll of mage certification and my scroll of pedigree. There's
also three golds, so I guess you can have the
three gold goal.
Speaker 4: So do I get a cut of that? Because I
got those papers back for him? Our lass? That's a
holy shit? Do you car?
Speaker 8: Lass is gonna put one final bullet in the head?
Speaker 3: Cool? Yeah? Another shot rings out and echoes off the
the walls. What's up? Fail?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 9: It was?
Speaker 7: It's gonna ask which gun he puts the last bullet
in him with.
Speaker 8: Sco show.
Speaker 3: And then what you head an upstairs?
Speaker 5: Upstairs?
Speaker 4: Cool?
Speaker 3: Uh? You take a minute to gather yourself, maybe see
you loading the bullets into your two guns that you have,
and then heavy footsteps spurs clinking on the ground. As
Carlias pockets the two scrolls and heads up to the
next level. There's a moment where the kind of the
gravitational pull of walking through the steps, it takes you
up to the next level. Um slightly early, but that's
where I ran too our first break. We'll see you
in a couple of minutes. Work that lone out, see
you in a bit, everybody. There will be no music
over this thing. I don't think it's playing great, but
I don't think it will do because hello, everybody, Welcome
back to Drama City.
Speaker 5: Such drama anymore, let's play.
Speaker 3: You're all over here. As you walk up into the
next floor, oh shop, you find yourselves, Carlas will just
imagine you're downstairs for the next couple of minutes.
Speaker 5: I can't see ship.
Speaker 4: Downstairs. I'll give you.
Speaker 3: I have to give you a sight. Okay, has sight?
Do you see now? Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Okay, there we go.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sorry, I didn't give your character of Fecsa site.
You walk up into the next level. The room is
illuminated by the two lamps on the wall, but also
there's a pool in the center of the room, which
is it's got very clear water, although there's no source
of clean water, like it's not a fountain. There's no
water coming up from anywhere. It's just a still pool,
and the bottom of the pool is a very large
green glyph which is kind of crackling with electricity under
the water. There's a single desk in the corner with
all sorts of oddments, a couple of books and parchment,
and a dwarf in front of it. The dwarf is
wearing like very similar clothing to the strange woman that
you met downstairs and the goblin that you met on
the first floor who had the purple kind of hood
and robes. This dwarf looks relatively old. He's got an
almost completely gray beard. The rest of it is very
light brown. His eyes are completely white, though they seem
to be sort of crack cling a little bit with
this similar kind of electricity to the glyph in the water.
But he's leaning back fairly casually on this desk. You
see him hand a pouch of gold to a larger figure.
How does strings look?
Speaker 10: Jay be a tall dragon born black as as night,
with green eyes, like a breastplate with kind of a
half of like a talaba thrown over, which would be
kind of like what Roger has, and a broken harp
on his back spear and a large shield accompanying it.
Speaker 3: The the three of you like head up into the room.
As you see the the dwarf hand over this pouch
of gold to the dragon born. Fexas says to you,
strings right there you go, job well done, thank you.
He places a vial which seems to have some like
strange bubbling liquid in it on the desk. He just
kind of puts it down casually, not carefully, and puts
it on one side and then crosses his arms and says, hey,
you want you want a new job? Well, sure, well,
look at that over there. And then those three head
up the stairs. He says, I think one of this
lot here has got a box for me. He kind
of nods over to the rest of you group and says,
is that right in this? He that's the weird little
box he there?
Speaker 5: And you check your one and find Fexus.
Speaker 3: Fexas says, come on in what is it? That's your name, right, I,
that's me.
Speaker 8: This.
Speaker 7: I don't want to know what's in it?
Speaker 3: Oh yes, you want to know what's in it? Draws
me worthwis he if you head over in hand the
box and he takes it, grabs the lock, pulls out
a huge set of keys, and then just grabs one,
unlocks the lock, throws the pad lock, opens it up
and pulls out a red orb like a ball, and
he says.
Speaker 4: That there you know what that is?
Speaker 3: He hands it back to you.
Speaker 7: Are used handing me the orb?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 7: I can't say that I do. I'm like, I'm not.
I'm not putting my hands up to take it. I'm
just looking at it. The thing's already got almost gotten
me killed once. I'm just as much rather you hang on.
Speaker 3: To it, and I'm interested to hear your story. But
you know what, these doys absolutely nothing? And he just
puts it on the desk.
Speaker 5: So what's the job?
Speaker 4: Do I do? I?
Speaker 5: Kill them? Is that what I must do?
Speaker 3: No? Not too sure you'd be able to kill this?
Thought by you?
Speaker 6: Like to see you try?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I would not.
Speaker 7: I'd rather not see him try killed enough things today.
Speaker 3: I'd rather not see him try either. I think I
need ally Is to band together. I've got a new
job for you. Your job's not finished there where as.
Speaker 7: Yet before we get into that. Do you have any
idea why Princess Neo Thraxis I always mess up her name.
Why she would want that orb because she sent some
henchmen to retrieve it and we left their corpses rotting
in the desert.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course that they are Stone's designed to
draw out and it died. It worked. Why wait, you
see that there are actually was wearing. She thinks that
that's the summoning stone draws on the power of titan
powers are up, gives her a strength of a god.
Who's her?
Speaker 5: You mean the princess herself? Hey, this gut's even more interesting.
What where's Carlias and Kenneth.
Speaker 3: Carlias walks up the stairs. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: I'll glance back and then just glance back to the
What the conversation is? I don't I don't think anything
would be a.
Speaker 8: Miss right now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't be too suspicious either.
Speaker 7: How long were they down there compared to like this
conversation we've just been having, Like, was there a noticeable pause?
Speaker 3: I would say, uh, yeah, it was like he was
there for too long. It's it's like it took him
a long time to count the stairs and there's no Kenneth.
Speaker 6: Look you long enough, where's Kenneth?
Speaker 8: There was business that had to be sorry out.
Speaker 3: So where's Kenneth.
Speaker 8: He pulls out the bounty.
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 12: Is that mine?
Speaker 6: Bounty?
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 8: It's a bounty on Kenneth. On Kenneth, listen right now.
Speaker 9: I feel like it's more important we get whatever it
is with this box sorted out. I will happily tell
you all the details later.
Speaker 12: Okay, So I'm definitely backing away because he has a bounty.
Speaker 6: It's not mine. But uh, Kenneth isn't coming up.
Speaker 8: Walk over to Rajah. Here's your gun.
Speaker 5: It's warm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he can tell me the details later. I don't
really care.
Speaker 5: Uh fexus, what do you want us to do with you?
Speaker 3: Or he like kind of like brushes you aside a
little bit and goes, ah, we dwarf.
Speaker 13: Here is that?
Speaker 3: Where are you fromm near we Lodi?
Speaker 7: Is he talking to car last?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like locked in on carline.
Speaker 8: You remember, Brad, I know it's up north.
Speaker 3: From you actually have a you should have a map
in your everyone.
Speaker 5: Thank god, I'm not the only one they've forgotten.
Speaker 3: It's cool.
Speaker 8: I forget the names.
Speaker 3: You have a map in your hand out if you
have a need to, just like quickly reference it for
the record. Everyone, you're from.
Speaker 4: Out Roost.
Speaker 3: Nor out Roost in the north northwest, from oat Roost,
country folk, farmer, h bounty hun. Oh, I can see
that from your wee little pistol there. Hey, I bet
that packs a punch, doesn't it.
Speaker 8: That's what it needs to do.
Speaker 3: You killed that that wizard? Did you? Are you here
in the tower? Yeah, we can, I am sure he did.
But you just hope you don't come back for you.
Most of die in here. They don't go away, not
to same track. Hey, if you can get out, he'll
finger will you lovey, He'll frainger, you can run all
the way back to Roost. He'll get you away, He'll
get you. Fexus turns back to you Rajah and says,
do you know the story you have? Empressed? If you
a leothraxis.
Speaker 4: Uh, maybe.
Speaker 3: Everyone kind of knows the story, I mean, depending on
what story he's talking about. But there is one relatively
famous story about her. She's the mother of the current emperor,
and around one hundred years ago it said that she
was sort of involved in the fall of magic and
it was something ah that was the came out of
dread Tusk. Like everyone knows that she went to dread Tusk,
which is just this huge shrine, old ancient shrine in
dust Veil, and then mysteriously there was this fall of
magic and she came back, gave birth and then died
and everyone was like, hey, that's linked. And some people
think that she was involved, and some people think that
everyone's crazy. But you probably just know the rumors as
opposed to like any fact or any true story. The Yeah,
so yeah, I think I think on a thirteen you
just you just would feel the same. That would go
for everyone else here as well. You're kind of aware
of a story to do with the Leothraxis family being
involved in the fall of magic for the entirety.
Speaker 7: Of Lacrint, Right, So what was this question?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 3: Do you know the story?
Speaker 7: I know the general parts of it. Unless you want
to refresh my memory, I will.
Speaker 3: The true story. And he sort of leans back on
his on his desk. She loved a god, you know,
not like that one pointing out for Arden. No, she
loved God and that's what provided us with our very
odd looking emperor. We have today. Do you know he's
the son of Bain himself, the lord of darkness, the
black kind.
Speaker 7: I've heard the same tale before that she's.
Speaker 3: She was, or so I've been told, tripped by Bain
into striking out another god. The most surprising thing of all,
of course, is that one hundred years ago the Emperor
Fearah actually managed to draw lloyd Ah. But not without help. No,
she had help from a few different sources. A stone,
and he rolls the stone across the table, the power
of Titan inside a big old summoning stone inside an
impressive piece of workmanship, the armor of eternal ending. You've
seen it, haven't you. I take it.
Speaker 7: You don't buy into the hole. Those rumors were started
by their political opponents.
Speaker 4: Theory.
Speaker 3: Huh, you don't understand anything with Raja. No, this here,
this place, This is where they meet, the Empress, the wizards.
They came here and they all set off to dread
Tusk together, and they almost had Goddess Mistra on her knees.
And it was right here in this room that they met.
He kind of looks around. This is fucking The whole
is so boring. There's no there's not even a tapestry
on the wall in any of these places. It's a
very bland looking tower. Doesn't look like it's that important
at all. The only thing that I said, it is
very old, but even some of the buildings in town
are probably one hundred years old. One hundred years isn't
a huge amount of time. He sort of turns around
and with like a flourish of his arms, you see
the glyph light up the room a little more, and
he says, the Mother of all magic struck down by
her most devoted followers, the Custers themselves. And it was
right here that it begun with a little stone and
a big old set of armor. Now what do you
think you think it was true? You think I'm telling
the truth? You think the wizards had that sort of power.
Speaker 7: I think that a lot of it was fake news,
that they were just making up stories about their leader
because they didn't agree with this Paulus.
Speaker 3: Hah, Yeah, you sound like the old emperor himself.
Speaker 7: But with that said, I've seen crazier stuff, so it's
not impossible.
Speaker 3: Well, there's one thing you can today. The armor she
wears it. It is strong and it moves too fluid
to the iron.
Speaker 7: There's something up with that. Do you recognize these at all?
I'm gonna open up my journal and show him the
drawing and sketches that I made of the woman in
the desert with the black leather, like the robes and
whatnot that we encountered, and I'm just showing that does
this look familiar at all?
Speaker 3: Hey, I see it the armor of eternal ending. There's
a if you you do it pretty well right, it's
not the woman in the cool looking armor. There's a
there's a recess in the chest. There is a kind
of like the iron man hole. It would look like
kind of thing. There's just a hole that it would
fit some thing. You would be able to lodge something
half in half out around the size of the orb
on the desk. And he says that there you've drawn it.
You know what you're putting there, The summon in stone,
the real one, not this phony piece of shape. And
he rolls the ball again. But she doesn't he know it.
I know, y is. We're all sent for a reason.
They didn't send any big hy ups from Sint River. No,
he picks up the ball. This this is going to
draw out, ay, And if you're up to the task,
I'd like to see you draw out again.
Speaker 7: Draw out the titan, draw out the assassins.
Speaker 3: You don't want to be messing with the titan. What
you do out the titan?
Speaker 7: H did you not hear about that part? Talk to
this one and I'll point out Carlias.
Speaker 8: We had a conversation.
Speaker 3: He's had a conversation. Oh yeah, pulling my leg. A
story for the story is that.
Speaker 7: No, I'll let the notebooking point at her and say
she called out the titan and sicked it on us
like an attack dog.
Speaker 3: She called it the tight end. But she can't without
the He picks up the fake stammining summoning stone and says, oh, wait,
I'm in it. He stands one way, puts the stone down,
closes his eyes, and cast some sort of magic on
the stone. Oh. I thought she'd giving you the wrong one.
Oh I thought it was a real one. I almost
threw it across the room when you handed it to
me as a show. Oh anyway, right, so she's got power?
Is it interesting? Interesting? Indeed, perhaps the armor retains some power,
is it not? Sure?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: You saw him, you up at you, Calais. The titan.
Speaker 8: Picked me up with his hand.
Speaker 3: Then, how how the fuck are you alive?
Speaker 8: You spoke to me, spoke to you, asked me a
couple of questions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's your favorite place to go? What's your favorite breakfast?
Speaker 4: Something like that.
Speaker 8: If I knew about the stone? And then he mentioned
the mass surname?
Speaker 3: Is she her name? The Calais Dreks never heard of it.
Speaker 8: For some reason, Titan.
Speaker 3: Hairs mm hmm. Well this doesn't make a quitter sense,
but I think we're on the right track. What do
you say to it? He holds up the stone again.
If you can get the armor off of her, that
would be good.
Speaker 7: The last time we drew her out, she kept her
distance and fled when we killed her, henchmen, What else
can we do to motivate her to come closer?
Speaker 3: Well, she needs to get these off you somehow.
Speaker 7: All right, supposing supposing I'm able to draw her out again,
how does it benefit us?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You like gold? Oh my hurt, James?
Speaker 6: I like jams.
Speaker 3: The The dwarf looks back and says, well, you probably
report to someone high up a lot of each other
than me Crimson City. I see, essentially implying that somewhere,
someone with a lot more money than he has, and
we'd have to go to the city. Hey, take her
out alive if you can, but get the armor, take
it to Crimson City, straight to the palace.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, So you're suggesting then that we bait out
the princess, steal her clothes, and then go to the
capital city with those clothes and we're not going to
be immediately executed?
Speaker 3: Absolutely known.
Speaker 5: Well what's what's the pay?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 5: Oh, how bad could it be?
Speaker 3: I'm bad?
Speaker 7: Could who cares? Who cares what it pays? If we
show up at the capital city with the emperor's daughter's clothing,
They're just going to have us killed immediately.
Speaker 5: Ah beas that's why you brought me along, isn't it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's why. That's why I've got you. They
need some help.
Speaker 7: Well, I can get you in if you need. Look,
we're gonna get get us and what the six exactly
to the one us to do?
Speaker 3: Once we kept there, you have to report to not
the emperor. It's not the emperor himself that wants his
own ken dad, right, he doesn't, doesn't he want the
stone the armor?
Speaker 5: So who am I bringing the armor to?
Speaker 3: Not the emperor directly?
Speaker 5: That's for sure. The pay up front, pay up front.
Speaker 3: You made money. You want a house? You get your house?
You want lines? What do you want? A business? You
want texes?
Speaker 6: I have something that I want. Wait, who are you
alarmed that I spoke up that much?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 5: He looks ro is going to give this look like
did I ask you what you want?
Speaker 3: He looks over as if he hadn't seen you at all? There,
he like, who are you? Wait a minute? In normal least,
who are you?
Speaker 6: My name is lash and Rush from shallow scar boundary.
Speaker 5: You're supposed to be dead.
Speaker 3: That's why you know what we listed. Yeah, hold off
on that slippery one.
Speaker 5: I get little one. Where where did you say you're
from hallowscar?
Speaker 3: Oh? Hey the week in Ku? He nudges you kN
Ku a shallow scar that used to be the lords
to him? Now there's one.
Speaker 8: M m.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, well if you want our help, I'm going to
need your help.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want my help? You want what you want?
You want to look like a human? I mean you
look like a human.
Speaker 6: You can do that, Yeah, you can.
Speaker 3: It's a painful procedure to take a while.
Speaker 5: What let's do that?
Speaker 3: You sure?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Oh? No, no, no, no, worst decisions, but they're no
last decisions.
Speaker 3: But then.
Speaker 6: No one will know who I am, and then they
can't come after me.
Speaker 3: Maybe it depends whose body you take. I'm gonna need
you go out find someone, bring them to me unconscious
if you can, If you kill them, they have to
get to me within an hour, bring them up, and
we'll take it from there. Okay, Oh, I don't think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what the matter is pulsing right now?
Speaker 13: Don't Yeahstairs, I think we just better get the bounty
aff me affects us if they don't.
Speaker 5: If they don't take the job, then I will.
Speaker 3: It's going to take more than one of you. I
thinks she'd eat you a live there.
Speaker 4: We might.
Speaker 5: Call some people up.
Speaker 3: She's got a pack of ninja and she calls them.
Speaker 5: Friends.
Speaker 10: You four, If you need to get into the Crimson City,
then I can get you through safely, get you in.
Not sure about the ken Ku, but we can make arrangements.
Speaker 7: Even though she was in my own room, I'm sure
she She's proven herself quite good at staying out of sight.
Just take the stone, draw her out, take the armor.
Why am I going to Crimson City with the armor?
Speaker 3: Who's it for?
Speaker 5: We have to take it to the emperor. That's what.
Speaker 3: Not not That's the last thing I need is the
dragoons after the.
Speaker 7: Drag and you can and you pointing at Jay's character,
and you can get us into the Crimson City to
see not the Emperor without a problem.
Speaker 10: Yes, I can take you there to see not the Emperor.
That's why why it's the emperor. I can take you
to see the Emperor, or at least get you to
someone who can.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll do it.
Speaker 6: We'll go to get that bounty off my head.
Speaker 4: I'll do it.

magic goes against the Emperor, and I won't stand for it.
Not hearing my arcane tower and not hearing Windy peaks.

Speaker 7: Right, I definitely believe you and don't need to see it.
Speaker 5: Flexus. The last summoning thing that you did, you killed
three of the acolytes.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: That that was no me.
Speaker 5: I didn't kill well, your actions caused them to die.
Speaker 3: Well, No, my actions summoned a ball, and the bal
Gura cays them today we might.
Speaker 10: Yes, that's semantics. You can argue them all you want,
but you still got them killed. It wouldn't have been
there if you didn't summon it. M.
Speaker 3: He turns to one side and says, listen, you're all here.
I'm going to give you some gold. How about I
double it and give you a little some extra on top.
If you has helped me out, I'll need you to
to keep a creature in chick. I can'd of fighting myself,
but if you just fighting for me, I'll I'll give
you saying I'm sure you. I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: These lads here and this one before.
Speaker 7: Before we take on a new job, Chaus said you'd
have the other half of our delivery. It was fifty
per person.
Speaker 3: Pulls out a big bag of gold from inside a
drawer in the desk. There you go, brings out another
one pushes it across the table, which has an extra
fifty in it to account for strings. He says, you
can have that.
Speaker 5: One, and is Kenneth is Kenneth's share here as well?
Speaker 3: Kenneth share is there? He says, you can have that win,
and you're gonna have this extra wine and a little
summon extra and a little son the extra on top
of that. He has just helped me out with a
little and some Hey, well, what's what's the table?
Speaker 5: What's the amount that you can't here?
Speaker 4: Do you know me?
Speaker 3: Affects us?
Speaker 5: I need an amount?
Speaker 3: He pours it out. It would be let's see, so
fifty one hundred, two hundred and fifty in this bag,
the one that includes your pain, not the one that
includes theirs.
Speaker 5: All right, I'm sold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's looking around the room. Do you have anyone?
Speaker 8: I'm in getting an even amount.
Speaker 5: If you can grab it fast enough. It's just another
fifty per person, is what you're saying right mathematically?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 3: I fuck it?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 7: So you don't know anything about my race, but you
did see the old druid? Do you happen to know
which way he went when he left?
Speaker 3: Puts a hand on your shoulder and says, there's only
one place they go after this tread task itself.
Speaker 9: All.
Speaker 3: He looks towards the stairs on the other side of
the room and says, going in, hit up, then dowstairs
and yeah, you'll be fine, he'll be fine. How can
we be so sure? Well, look at that wee little
pistol on your hip. That's how we mind.
Speaker 6: Wait, wait, wait, where's this creature of yours?
Speaker 3: Let just go kill the thing?
Speaker 5: Just starts walking towards the stairs.
Speaker 3: Yes, those stairs always lead to the till floor almost always,
but yeah, I always always floor.
Speaker 4: Is Yeah, you'll be faint.
Speaker 5: Heading up, Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 14: As we're heading up, I'm babbling to you guys like, well,
if we did find a bite, I mean, if somebody
was dying and then they didn't need their body, and
then we could just take the body and we could
bring it back.
Speaker 8: Sure, you don't want to be the body that's downstairs.
Speaker 7: No, yeah, you you speaking of?
Speaker 3: Speaking of which.
Speaker 7: I would like to know why you killed our ally
in the middle of a job.
Speaker 10: Hold on one moment, am I about to party up
with you? But you just laid a teammates down the
floor below.
Speaker 15: Absolutely say, I will tell you all the detail later.
It is now you want me to tell you right now.
I love a good story. What's in our Our conversation
with factsus is over. Now it's time for ours. Why
did you kill the old man?
Speaker 8: Was killed through grandkids?
Speaker 4: He what?
Speaker 3: Ever?
Speaker 9: Since we got on that train, I've been following him,
keeping my eyes on him, waiting for him disguised to crack.
Did you not hear him going on about trying to
find his grandkids?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I heard it.
Speaker 9: This was a long time ago. But he murdered them.
Murder doesn't even cut it. He slaughtered them, and I
had to go and.
Speaker 3: See that.
Speaker 5: What that thing did, Just as long as you got
paid in the process.
Speaker 8: No, I ain't in it for the goal.
Speaker 9: There are some bounties I'll take for the goal, but
this one I had to give revenge for them.
Speaker 6: Speaking of bounties for gold, you're not going to try
and kill me for my bounty, are you?
Speaker 9: And lash I said I would help you get rid
of yours. He killed three little innocence. Yours is barely
a petty theft. I believe that everyone is old forgiveness.
Speaker 10: It's a bit more than just a petty theft. Just say, wow,
you're a bunch, don't you motor mystery.
Speaker 5: I'm starting to get quite used to it, lovely, Well,
I won't motor you if you don't motor me.
Speaker 3: It's a good place to start.
Speaker 6: That's to find a body.
Speaker 7: Let's murder the thing at the top of the stairs, knock,
murder each other, and just be careful. We don't get
bounties put on our heads.
Speaker 5: Good nudge Carlas. How much is her bounty it's worth?
It's less than I shoot him. I shoot him and
I shot just like, don't even try it right? Good,
good call.
Speaker 4: Arden Zil kind of in shock at all this? Can
I roll an insight check? As Carlos is saying all this,
I'm gonna inside check him to see if.
Speaker 3: Sure, what are you? What are you trying to do?
Speaker 4: I I'd like to believe that I bonded a little
bit with Carlias over the Ickham thing and I and
Carlias has always been a straight shooter. But nonetheless, he
just just gunned down one of our people, so little.
Speaker 10: Gunned down a kind individual.
Speaker 4: Didn't let me, You didn't let me drive the train,
so you know what you had minus five already.
Speaker 3: Seems like he is Germany telling the truth, that he's
speaking from the hull. But you can never be too short, and.
Speaker 4: I'll just stay a little distant, but I want to
believe him.
Speaker 3: Sure, uh, you're heading up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, damn, I guess I'll be the first one.
Speaker 3: To go up.
Speaker 8: Roger is about to go up. I kind of nudge
him on the shoulder.
Speaker 7: I was gonna say, Now, I was gonna I was
gonna say, I was gonna say, Rogers hanging back, waiting
to just catch Carlias.
Speaker 4: I run up the stairs.
Speaker 5: So I'm like shoeing the other three. Shoeing the other three.
Speaker 10: Up the stairs first, and then looking at don't motor
each other while we're going up.
Speaker 5: Try not to.
Speaker 7: And then as as soon as the three of them
are like half up the stairs, I'm gonna like both
hands on Carlasa's shoulders and look right at them and say,
tell me next time, if you're going to murder one
of our crew.
Speaker 8: You have my word.
Speaker 9: Why do you think I gave you your gun back
fully loaded? It would be rude not to that, But
there's also a sign of trust. You see, you could
have very well pulled that on me point blank. I
have that trust in you, and you have to have
trust in me. I've told you all the details, and
I know you may want to help Lash. I'm willing
to help.
Speaker 7: That well across that bridge when we come to it.
I've got bigger things to worry about right now than
petty bounty on a bird. I'm hunting a monster that
eats town's whole. Exactly what you could choose to go
about doing with whomever, so be it. In the end,
it doesn't matter much. I just don't kill anymore of
our teammates while we're on the job. Yeah, kill you
got a reason kill them? Between jobs? Yeah, let's go
kill this thing.
Speaker 4: I'll start walking up the stairs. Cool.
Speaker 3: Invisible for a reason? Did I miss something? Uh?
Speaker 7: When did I vanish?
Speaker 3: We didn't know if you'd suddenly gained the invisibility spell.
I just missed something. I was like, Oh, this ranger
has invisibility as a bonus action, because.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, as a bonus No. Wait, how long have
I been invisible? I must have missed seconds. Oh you're
missing all my gestures. I was like, I was like
staring at the camera, and I.
Speaker 4: Mean, in all fairness, the new ranger can do everything.
Speaker 3: Is yeah, it is. It is just other rangers thing. Yeah,
you can do.
Speaker 5: They're just level two, so you can't get I don't
get that to level twelve. Probably do you?
Speaker 3: Guys had into the stepping into the what is the
top floor of the tower. There isn't another set of
stairs to go, so it does seem like it is
the top top floor.
Speaker 5: I found its problem cuts.
Speaker 3: Make sure make sure you head to the scroll shopping
by the scroll of invisibilities that you can use it
appropriately at some point.
Speaker 4: Also, Brotato, why did you have a small bear in
your room?
Speaker 5: Sorry? They attack the wildlands.
Speaker 3: It's a Canadian bear, and even even the bears are
small and friendly and weak willed.
Speaker 5: Sorry, as they come up, Glad you didn't murder each other.
We saved the murder for this part.
Speaker 3: Every everyone steps up through into the into the room,
there's an enormous summoning circle on the ground which begins
to light up, and then three more more prominently, three
red symbols, which actually produces like a column of light
up to the ceiling downstairs.
Speaker 7: Stand over here, you've.
Speaker 3: Got about thirty seconds to arrange yourselves because downstairs fetus
begins to chant. He's like down there and chicon, and
then he stops from them and goes, oh, wait, no,
I think that was wrong, and then looks up at
the at the ceiling.
Speaker 7: While he's doing all that, before the monster gets in
here pointed strings to say, what do you do?
Speaker 5: You stab things? Burn things? I stab things, I sing,
I can kill.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, I would say, strings looks pretty battle hardened, right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, right, yeah, Like like there's like scars across the armor,
like small patches where it's been repaired. The spear is
worn down, and like you can see the shield as
like deflected like many a blow. Like there's just gouges
through it that have been sealed with salt, small pieces
of tar and metal patches, scars on his face and
shed So yeah, you me.
Speaker 7: In the front lash, Carlias showed anything that moves, I
don't don't let anyone.
Speaker 5: Die, and stay out of way of the breath. You
don't want to get in that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's true. You don't want to get in
the way in the breath affects Us had summoned the
very simple thing he was trying to summon, unfortunately, in
front of oh the air tight, the air shivers in
front of where you guys are stood. At the center
of the room, there's a final glyph summoning circle lights
up in white, and the air sort of shivers at
the center of the circles. If a magical door is
opening and stepping through it as a giant demon sort
of a hulking eight foot tall around a tang looking
kind of beast with huge tusks jumping forth from its jaw.
It moves sort of apishly, steps through, and then looks
about and instantly goes. I guess the scientific time would
be ape Ship as a ball Gurer has been.
Speaker 4: Summing, and he's really good at the spell.
Speaker 3: He keeps sucking up. Can I guess some initiatives from everyone? Liz,
let's go. Let's see, Yeah, where are.
Speaker 5: Your combat on the first fucking thing with the new character?
Speaker 3: Oh? Fuck yeah?
Speaker 4: But wait, so yep. If if Strings dies in this combat.
Speaker 5: It's Bobby the backup bar.
Speaker 3: Immediately becomes Bobby the backup bard. Well Strings, Strings is
the backup bard, So.
Speaker 5: You get, Yeah, I technically am a backup bard, you get.
Speaker 3: I can't remember his name. I'm gonna call him old
Man River. I can't remember what his name is. He's
very old. The backup, Oh you met jet It, I
don't remember his name. I was like, wow, there is
a backup. I just haven't had yet. I remember what it's.
Speaker 4: Called later on bit on my monitors so much.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm not rolling a thing here, bulger. Please,
I click on.
Speaker 6: My character and I'm trying to drag you just to over.
What about your wrong?
Speaker 4: Okay, click your character and then just click the initiative
on your sheet. Yeah you don't just click it, click.
Speaker 3: The word initiative on your character sheet. Okay. R oh,
you did it, you did it.
Speaker 4: Already, but beautiful, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3: I just rerolled it.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3: You only are same please same, please, same as the
bartle girl. What is your dexterity number? The total number
is seventeen, the larger number seventeen. So you go before. Okay,
so you guys all get to react before the bulgurer
does as it steps through this enormous beast Raja, what
do you want to do?
Speaker 7: I think Carlias is first.
Speaker 3: Carlias as first, Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't even see
Carlos at the top and dumb gone in dumb. Uh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gonna try and go for a.
Speaker 3: Head shot. Uh. A gunshot fires towards this thing as
it's sort of stepping out. It turns to you and
the bullet launches across its head and then hits the ceiling.
It ricochets down and harmlessly fires past the ball gurer.
It lets out a terrible war but you do not
hit it anything else.
Speaker 5: Cool, Raja, I.
Speaker 7: Am going to.
Speaker 5: Move into melee range and hack at this thing with
my toa.
Speaker 3: Well, alrighty, we'll try and lop off a leg or
two or three of its enormous legs with a nine.
I have a twenty five. You have a twenty five.
Speaker 7: You do, Yes, any creature that has not yet acted
in this combat cycle, I have advantage.
Speaker 4: On of course you do.
Speaker 3: You're also invisible, remember.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you also my war cast magic missile.
Speaker 16: I should have I should have said great weapons strike
for the extra ten damage, but my cast not TENGI
out you you yeah, you you bring the toll war
across this thing's enormous lake and open up a wound
in it.
Speaker 3: It bleeds like a deep crimson. It looks kind of
like normal blood, and you do like like full damage
to it doesn't seem to have any weird resistances or
anything like that from your from your weapon. What is
it fourteen?
Speaker 5: I just rolled max possible damage max damage.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 7: I'm going to as a bonus action cast ensnaring strike
and tap that onto the swing, which is basically vines
and roots come up out of the ground and wrap
around the sky and try to hold him still as
the sword passes.
Speaker 5: Through, which is a difficulty save of thirteen.
Speaker 17: Strength or decks strength strength And see how thirteen what
does he.
Speaker 3: Have to beat?
Speaker 7: Sorry, he has to beat a thirteen.
Speaker 3: Makes it breaks it? So yeah, these vines like wrap
around its leg and for a moment you're like, yes,
I've got him, like the Pokemon, and then you see them,
you see them snap as its huge leg with a
cut on it on not snaps the vines and rips
free of them. You almost had him, but not quite.
And that's that's that strings first time um doing anything.
Speaker 7: Hey, now I positioned myself out of the way of
your breath. You'll notice the ninety degree angle. It's intentional.
Speaker 4: Are you saying that to the d M or to
the player, say that's Jack.
Speaker 3: He's going to maneuver himself behind Roger.
Speaker 5: Forward and attack.
Speaker 3: With a spear. Attack with the spear.
Speaker 5: Oh right, okay, yeah sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah you did.
I can't remember your buds to either I played. I
can't remember either.
Speaker 3: Twelve Any bullshit on that?
Speaker 5: Hmmm nope, no, no bullshit on that.
Speaker 3: No, no, no. You launched forward with the spear and
go to jabbit at the enormous form.
Speaker 9: You do.
Speaker 3: You do kind of hit it, but you hit like
a tough like a tougher outer rough patch of exposed
skin that you hit it. And if this were an
orangutang or an ape or something, you assume it would
cut through. This thing is like a demonic theme ape,
and it kind of like passes off of it without
leaving much more than a vague scratch anything else.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna look over at Lash and going to inspire her.
This inspiration is a badass one as well. Yeah, you
can use it for fucking everything.
Speaker 7: Look at Lash and go.
Speaker 5: I started reading a book about anti gravity and I
couldn't put it down.
Speaker 3: Did you inspiring? Yes?
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 5: I can't play until the heart is repaired one day.
Speaker 3: Every everyone else isn't inspired, but Lash, that was very
inspiring for you. You gain a Bardic inspiration, but it's
a it's a valid one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, so you can use you can use that
for anything. It's not just ability checks. You can use
it for damage. You can use it for your.
Speaker 5: As well damage. You can use it for damage, and
you can use it on a reaction to up your
AC in that way.
Speaker 3: So yeah, remember that, presumably choose that you have fun
all idea what a Bardic inspiration is just off the top, Yeah,
I don't You have a you have like a bonus
dice that you can roll whenever you do something that
is either an attack roll, an ability check, or a
damage roll. You can roll an extra D six.
Speaker 5: Is it still the D six it's a D six
for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can add that to one of the rolls.
Let me know if you're going to use it, and
you can do that once you wait, you've got one
of them, and you've got ten minutes in which you
can use it. You don't have to use it in
the next time. You can wait for ten minutes and you.
Speaker 5: Can roll your first die first and then decide.
Speaker 7: So like if you roll your attack and you see
you got an eleven you'd say, oh, well, now I'm
gonna add my other extra.
Speaker 4: Six to it.
Speaker 7: See, let's call it yes, right, so yeah, and if
you're confused, just be like, shall I use it?
Speaker 3: And we'll give you the benefit of down. You're good?
Speaker 5: Oh, I guess I should have moved up.
Speaker 3: This is what bards do, bads do. I am as well,
And that's the end of your ten. Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna roll up next to Rajah and uh, I'm
gonna whisper over to him as I pull out my
sword and child I go. You say, don't let anybody die.
Kenneth doesn't count against that for me, right.
Speaker 7: Neither does this thing?
Speaker 3: Kill it?
Speaker 4: And I swing at him.
Speaker 3: Okay, give me an attack role.
Speaker 4: That is a hit.
Speaker 3: Five slash damage. You sort of bring your battle axe
across this thing and just there's another wound that opens
up along this thing's back.
Speaker 4: And in typical needy art and fashion, I'm gonna use
my third war priestability to take another attack. And because
I just really like messing with you, Brad, I'm gonna
use my one channel divinity for the day to add
ten to the attack roll.
Speaker 3: Sure, and it turns that into an eighteen, which makes
it a hit. Does adding a channel divinity do anything
for you?
Speaker 4: Or is it tend of one of my attacks? You like,
you like, you feel like.
Speaker 3: You're slipping one and you're like, oh, praise be to
Tom And then suddenly you a rock appears in front
of you and you're able to stabilize yourself and hit it,
or or is it like does it look like anything? Crazy?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: Knowing him, he probably just starts fumbling the weapon.
Speaker 3: And then somehow he grips it and just buries the
axe into the back of this huge beast, opening up
another wound in it. The creature like turns to you
and lets out another terrible roar, but it continues to
stand a towering figure in front of you.
Speaker 6: Lash the eim for one of his eyes with my
short bow vanderbar.
Speaker 14: Hit.
Speaker 3: Uh, that is not a hit. You fire up at
this enormous thing, seemingly impossible to miss it, and then
the arrow just launches above its head. It just ducks down.
You see one of its hairs on its head like
split in two, and the arrow just launches to the
back of the to the back of the room.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 3: You want to do anything else?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I should bonus action like crouchy hide.
Speaker 3: Yes, you can attempt to hide, although where are you
going to attempt to hide the exactly? There's like nothing
here really hard to see against these It's also extremely hard.
It's extremely hard to hide against something you've already kind
of engaged with. But like, I'll give you the benefit
of the doubts sometimes, but this room it's pretty pretty tough.
Speaker 10: I'm standing, if you've already engaged them, doesn't I give
a disadvantage.
Speaker 4: On the roll.
Speaker 3: I think the rule is that you generally I can't
hide if you've already engaged with the thing. But I'm
a fan of like, you know, if you can justify
whatever bullshit me, then sure. So yeah, but at this point,
you're stood underneath a light. Yeah, there's also there's also
like five other things bring off light in this room,
and there's nothing to hide behind really, So unless you
run down the stairs and then just eject yourself from
the combat, then you're good. You're probably unable being here
in this situation. Being an assassin or whatever you are
is not great A rogue. Yeah, sorry, I just watched
John Wick Oh.
Speaker 10: The Future reference lash on that misattack you could have
used the inspiration to I.
Speaker 6: Was thinking about it, but I was like, if I
need to save my but I.
Speaker 7: Think she she can't say that after Brad has already
told her it from this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's not about using it, but I think
I'm going to save it.
Speaker 4: I always forget about inspirations and.
Speaker 5: Yeah, also I guess not forgetting my party. Motherfucker.
Speaker 6: I definitely didn't forget about it.
Speaker 3: I'm a benevolent DM, though sometimes I'll allow it, especially sometimes.
Speaker 4: Sometimes if you're beolent, sometimes you're wa Stephen.
Speaker 3: Character and shot. Well, that's awful. You retired Bulgura.
Speaker 4: Where is he?
Speaker 3: There? He is, Bulgura, Ballura.
Speaker 7: Don't hit me O beautiful, time to get one tapped.
Speaker 3: Bargura puts a hand on Raja's head just before he
does anything. Suddenly, Raja, you are engulfed in flame. Your
entire body, including all of your blood cells, your eyes,
your hair, your clothes are on fire. Make me an
intelligence saving throw.
Speaker 4: Brad, be nice. I don't want two bards in the channel.
Speaker 3: Eighteen. This isn't real fire. This motherfucker's fucking with you.
Just he like engulfs in fire, like rains. This fire
down on you, and there's a moment where you're like,
oh my god, this is actually burning me. I'm gonna die.
This is over, this is the end. And you take
a moment to gather your thoughts and think about like
maybe you've read about some weird demonic things and like
people can do it, or you knew about this spell
phantasmal force, which allows people to convince you that you're
on firing things. And even though you can still see
the fire, as you begin to convince yourself it's not real,
it doesn't feel real, and therefore your life this isn't real,
so whatever, and it begins to disperse and go away
from you. The Bible girl looks at you. What languages
do you speak?
Speaker 7: Infernal, Druidic, Calm and Elvish, And then like a smattering
of abissle, you.
Speaker 3: Get a smattering of what it's trying to say to
you telepathically in your mind. It says like die by,
and he's kind of like laughing at you and looking
at you, and then it notices that you just don't
you don't seem to be phased at all.
Speaker 5: I'm going to look back at it and say nice,
try in abissle or in in abistle. Let's see, I'm
going to try and say nice try and a bistle.
Speaker 3: What what do I have to.
Speaker 5: Forgot? My slash key is my cat cam right and
I have and I have my cat cam as my
D and D cam on Wednesdays. What would I have
to roll the try and interpret it back into I
guess just an.
Speaker 7: Just roll intelligence like one of those.
Speaker 5: It like comes out like one of those Japanese shirts
that are sold to tourists.
Speaker 3: I'm spaghetti man, No you you successfully like say back
whatever it was that you said, I've forgote Sorry.
Speaker 7: After after it's just died by burning, I'm just gonna
look back at and say nice try.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And its face like visibly changes. It kind of
gets like a dumb kind of like gorilla look work
over its face and then becomes very confused, and it
kind of looks around to each of you and then
just can't light your taue. It's a ukono chron.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's going to go for another another show.
Speaker 3: That's a hit. Five piercing damage, a shot rings out
and all those things. Kind of looking down at Rajah
with like a dumbfounded face. Suddenly its shoulder just explodes
in like hair, orange hair, and.
Speaker 4: You laughing because he has orange hair. No, it just
reminds me of like a Lindsay Lohan experience. She just
wakes up and her hair is just exploding everywhere, everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like when Trump gets off of a plane,
a spattering of blood launches behind it and it shouts,
make the Abystal plane great again. It Oh no, it doesn't.
It just screams out loud at you damn liberals. Oh
my fuck.
Speaker 4: Woait did you mean to say liberals are affiliates affiliates? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, actually I forgot, Carlias. You actually have disadvantage
on all until you get full partner. I'm kidding. Do
you want to do anything else?
Speaker 4: This is so against my character. That's not canon, bro, No,
that's hey man.
Speaker 10: He made me piss myself for twenty episodes of Spirits,
so all right, anything is canon for Brad.
Speaker 3: That was because of a book in the game.
Speaker 4: That's something out of the day.
Speaker 3: Actually it was because I taunted him.
Speaker 10: It was because he taunted me out of the game,
because I said, I'm going to pick this book up
and I just want you to have to go through
your notes and fucking find something.
Speaker 3: Yeah. He was like, I want you to make up
another book, because I know you haven't written more than
three or four books on this shelf. And I was like, fine,
you pick up a demon book that curses you football
ship and bullshit. No, Connor doesn't really get one of those. Connor,
you can have an inspiration point because A because I
hate Jay and it's gonna it's gonna make him so salty.
He's not gonna be able to sleep tonight and be
because everyone's shitting on you all night, and and I
feel bad. I feel bad somewhere deep down in my
bal ruger heart. You want to do anything else?
Speaker 4: On your turn.
Speaker 8: Another story?
Speaker 3: This is how you abuse your friendships. Dms upcoming dms
use inspiration points outside of the game to emotionally blackmail
your friends into doing stuff for you. It works, Trust me, Rajah,
what do you want to do?
Speaker 4: I am going to.
Speaker 5: Once again take a.
Speaker 7: Sharp at this thing.
Speaker 4: Ouch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, fuck off, man, this is what I do.
Speaker 18: Is this what your life is like?
Speaker 5: I think this is what it's like to be only
when I'm playing video games.
Speaker 4: Have you not seen him stream? This is what it's like.
Speaker 3: As soon as he turns his stream off. He like
falls over into like a puddle of ship and it
starts raining in his house and explodes.
Speaker 7: My life is nothing but a long sequence of net
one's until I'm in a video game, and then it's just.
Speaker 3: Stream and then it's like, to the outside world, your
life is great, but really it's awful. That's that's his
actual where he's living. That's not a green screen.
Speaker 7: I fly I fly out to Saudi Arabia before every stream,
so I have this authentic background.
Speaker 5: Like the graveyard in India, the one where like I
just I just call my sources up.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you shove this toll well like deep
into this thing sight and you see like a lot
of the blade goat into this creature, and oh, it's
pushed back. It tries to grip at the toll war
as you like pull the thing out, and a bunch
of blood gushes down enough that it runs down the
toll one splashes over your hands. The creature, clearly visibly
in pain, grips its its side where You've done this
pretty big hit, but continues to stand. It tries to
bolster itself. It looks around each of you a little confused,
as to what's going on, but in a way enjoying
the thrill of battle with these mortal creatures.
Speaker 7: As as I'm yanking the toll war out of him.
When they used the other hander once again, bonus action
tried to ensnare this thing again.
Speaker 3: Sure, let me give you a strength roll.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh, there we go.
Speaker 3: The thing is so epically desperately trying to concentrate on
getting this sore toll wir out of it that it
doesn't even notice the vines vice like grip as you
you pin this thing to the ground.
Speaker 4: What does it do?
Speaker 3: Does it just mean it restricts this movement or it's restrained,
completely restrained? Ah cool? Anything else invisible?
Speaker 7: Uh no, that'll do it. It's uh, I believe it's
restrained and it can make a strength saving throw at
the end of each turn to try and break the restraints.
Speaker 3: Why nice strings. It is your turn. You have advantage
because it's restrained to hit it.
Speaker 8: Going to.
Speaker 5: Cast Yeah, okay, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 10: Bring the spear down as if I was going to attack,
but drop it down to the ground and cast thunder
wave and have the thunder just kind of like strike
it from above. So as to me, I'm gonna cast
it at second level. Has to make a con con.
Speaker 3: Save where you're you're casting thunderwave and casting thunderwave. Oh okay, yeah, sorry,
I thought you had to make an I thought you
were arden. I was like bioraj, I mean, who doesn't
want to be arden? Sorry?
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, so strength, Yeah, and the cube. I'm gonna
make the cube like back here.
Speaker 3: No thunderwave comes from you, but it doesn't matter. It
doesn't handle.
Speaker 5: No, it's it's in a point that you choose.
Speaker 3: Isn't it from from you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: From you must make a fifteen Oh never mind, my bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine anyway, it doesn't matter fifteen. What does
that have to be?
Speaker 5: Twelve?
Speaker 3: Twelve?
Speaker 5: So it takes.
Speaker 3: A damage instead eight damage is Suddenly this boom, this
sonic boom boom launches out from the area where strings is.
The it's someunthway the one that does a ridiculous boom. Yeah,
it is three hundred feet of damage. But to your ears.
So everyone in the room for a moment, it's like
a bomb goes off. There's like a as your ears
pop and then the as the the like you know
when like a bomb goes off in a movie. Yeah,
just silence is out for a moment, and then your
ears returned to you and there's just a terrible screaming
sound from this enormous whose name is Donnie now the bar, Donnie,
let change it.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna I'm gonna look over at Raja and oh,
if you're planning on entering a stair climbing competition, h
you better step up your game and inspire him.
Speaker 3: Go on, friend this in a weird way. You're so
disgusted and disheartened that it makes you because he's so lame,
it makes you feel stronger. Uh. The that's it, at
the end of your turn.
Speaker 4: That's it. Yeah, that's the whole turn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Donnie looks visibly weakened by the puns as well, Harden,
what do you want to do.
Speaker 4: Playing?
Speaker 3: It really is that even though they get the inspiration,
it's actually the creature. But it's so disheartened, just so
disheartened by the by the puns.
Speaker 4: I think I'm starting to foster a bit of a
grudge a competition against this new bard. I don't I
don't like this. He's taken. He's taking some of my
shine away.
Speaker 5: Kill killing Corlias does then where then we're barden?
Speaker 4: How how messed up is Donnie looking right? Now?
Speaker 3: Can I do give me a nature or an investigation check?
Speaker 7: Please let them survive to my next urn.
Speaker 4: Wow, I am very good at all of this.
Speaker 3: This thing will never die.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna give strings a dirty
look and look at Lash and look at her and
say I will inspire you too, riding bold and I'm
gonna throw it at Donnie cool wait.
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, And I look back at Lash and I say,
your next hit will be inspired.
Speaker 5: Hey, yes, because I gave her inspiration.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna just get a stare at you, really
really happily.
Speaker 3: Such healthy competition. That's it. On the guiding bolt, please
do damage.
Speaker 4: That is I believe just how it is. It just
automatically hits and that's the damage.
Speaker 3: No, that's the that's the attack wrong, the attack wrong.
Speaker 5: If you click on the gun bolt thing, it'll roll
your damage.
Speaker 3: Nineteen radiant damage than son.
Speaker 5: Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: It hurts him a lot. Donnie is is is looking
up as this guiding bolt like strikes along with the axe,
and it burns his eyes a lot.
Speaker 5: And Donny is forty six on a level one spell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, bullshit. Man also gives advantage of the next hit. Yeah,
I don't understand.
Speaker 5: Sorry Jesus Wow, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I mean, fairlight does fifty damage in tur just
because he cared. But this is pretty odd.
Speaker 5: I do a maximum of fourteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the that's the fair Light Excalibur bonus.
Speaker 5: I do a maximum of fourteen, but I always roll
the maximums.
Speaker 3: Oh actually, oh no, it doesn't mat it. Yeah, you're good.
So yeah, you you just mess this thing up. It
just burns him. You see this light kind of like
it fucks him up, like his skin burns. And you
smell the flesh of this demonic creature's horrible abystal body
fill the rim. It's a pungent and disgusting smell. But
he is just about still standing alive. Slash you'll turn.
Speaker 6: Draw my short bone'll be the empress nostrils.
Speaker 3: Do it? You have advantage. That's an eighteen and you
hit okay, and I.
Speaker 6: Will throw extra damage on this.
Speaker 3: So one D six Yeah, I think it's two D six,
isn't it. Oh yeah, do I have I have another Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
you get one D six extra damage. But because you
get sneak attack. It's when you hit when you have
other people in your team next to the thing, it's
vaguely distracted, so you get the sneak attack bonus. So
roll an extra two D six. I think I might
have added into a sheet. Actually, there's the thing. Is
there a thing that says sneak attack?
Speaker 6: There is a thing that says sneak attack?
Speaker 9: I could just.
Speaker 3: So you do a grand total of eighteen damage. How
would you like to kill Donnie?
Speaker 6: What I'd like to?
Speaker 12: Okay, So I'm going to roll up there and pull
my my rip ear out and stick it up through
his nostrill and do his breen.
Speaker 3: Nice die the leap to do it?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you run over like you fire an arrow hits him.
You run over with the rapier and just like jump
on him, stab it up into his nose. His eyes
roll up into the back of his head and he
falls back with a like a large There's a moment
before his body begins to bubble, and then he begins
to sink into the ground, with this horrible smell filling
the room. As it just melts back into the abyssal plane,
there's a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. As
you hear fectsus running up. You can hear the jangling
of glass as he's running up, and you see him
run to the top of the stairs. He has the
he has like a string around his neck and then
all these different empty jars and vials on his on
his body. When he gets to the top of the stairs,
he throws a jar over at Raja. Give me a
sleight of hand or a deck saving throw, whichever one
do you want. Boom, you catch it. You catch the glass,
and he says, quickly, grab some of that that ooze quick.
Speaker 7: I'll scoop it up. But I'm not gonna like use
my hand to scoop it. I'm gonna just like just
the jar, but like scoop it up, so I'll get
it on my hands.
Speaker 4: Nice, can I can? I walk over to strings and
I'm gonna just kind of So did I inspire some
confidence in you?
Speaker 3: Look?
Speaker 4: I just point to the monster, Donnie.
Speaker 5: No, you inspired the rogue just as I did.
Speaker 4: So I did inspire him. You're admitting it. You're admitting
I'm better.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 5: Whatever helps to sleep.
Speaker 4: At night, it will. And I'm gonna walk off with
my chest popped up you're welcome.
Speaker 3: Lash.
Speaker 5: You're gonna look at Roger like, okay, thank you both.
Speaker 3: You get used to it.
Speaker 5: Well, Fexus, where's the money?
Speaker 3: Fexus says.
Speaker 4: Will.
Speaker 3: It's all looked like not even go to scratch on you.
Speaker 5: No, we don't.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what did it? What did someone? Then? I
thought I had screwed it up and I summoned a bar.
But what was he like a little quasi because I
don't need that any points? It was another It was ah, yeah,
sure it was you're so tight and as well? Did
you there?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 7: You can I recall what the thing said to me
in abistle? Yeah, okay, I want to quote word for
word what the thing said to me to Fexus.
Speaker 5: It said something along the lines of and then speaking.
Speaker 8: In that.
Speaker 3: A all right, perhaps she's a lot did fighter then? Will?
Speaker 4: At this?
Speaker 3: You know, I think is what might just stand a
chance against princessly or Thraxis there? Come on in, let's
go get you a reward. Heads down the stairs following him. Yeah,
I'll just go with him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and hand him his jar of belgara fluid.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 5: Is there anything else around the bug that we can lose?
Speaker 3: Nope? All of the summoning things disappear. The red columns
dissipate as well, and yeah, you head down and that's
what we're gonna go to our next break. Uh. Down
on another floor, next to a train is the body
of Kenneth Pet And though the body remains dead, we
see a translucent version of Kenneth stand up from the body,
look down at his dead form, look at his hands,
look around where he is, and then wander off and
head down the stairs. Kenneth Pet the NPC. We'll see
you guys after the break. We're back. Hey, everybody, welcome back.
Sorry we were talking about how great wonder Woman was.
Speaker 5: Love wonder Woman, I loved more.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something that is better than wonder Woman.
Dust veil. As you guys head downstairs, there is now
a giant you want to be or in the center
of the room playing wonder Woman. Fetus just can't seem
to shut it off.
Speaker 4: I wonder if Arden could fit in a costume of
Wonder Woman. Is there an extra costume?
Speaker 3: There is one on sale in Sin River if you
go there.
Speaker 4: I'm writing that down as canon I know, and I'm
going to forget about it, and you're.
Speaker 3: Going to launch on me, and it's going to happen.
He heads down to his desk and puts the vial
of baltruga goop on the desk and picks up the
bag the extra bag of gold and hands it over
to you Arden, since you're closest to where he is
on that map randomly placed. He says, there's your payment,
and then turns around and on his desk is five
silver chalices. He picks one up at a time and
hands it to each of you one by one. Each
of the chalices has your name on it, depends on
who he hands it to. Carved into the side like
beautifully etched along with a really wonderfully etched sort of
scene of you guys each battling a ball ruga, and
he sends you, hands you each one of these silver chalices,
and let's see here, let's let's do one last thing.
Speaker 4: Is one like made out of like wood, and the
others are all silver. Do we have to drink out
of this?
Speaker 3: They're all silver, beautiful silver chalices.
Speaker 4: Faces are going to.
Speaker 3: Roll me a D one hundred pelez.
Speaker 4: Oh god, you're making ard and do it great just
some way. I like that number.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 4: But I'll give everybody their gold as whenever we're done
with this. Sure if anybody's worried about that, all four
strings is freaking out over there.
Speaker 3: Fuck me, what the fuck is this? He also hands
you this is fucking weird.
Speaker 4: We were all a magic items.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, another D one hundred.
Speaker 4: Swear if you give me a potion or a scroll
and would be so pissed.
Speaker 3: Okay, that was.
Speaker 4: Always the worst. You're like, double lot, double lot. This
is a scroll of fog.
Speaker 3: This is unbelievable, right somehow?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: He hands you a feather and says, uh, here you
we might this is for you or whoever wants it, Yes,
you want here, and hands you the feather. This is
Quaal's feather token, which is not and I didn't know
existed until right now.
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good sign. Takes it.
Speaker 3: So basically, you managed to get the one incredibly which
breaks the game. It has a single use effect, and
yours you managed to after the Wonder Woman conversation, we
just had get the one which transforms into a whip. Wow.
Really yeah, So this is what it does. You can
use an action to throw the token to a point
within ten feet. I'm going to throw this down here
and you can look at it. You can throw the
token to a point within ten feet of view. The
token disappears and a floating whip takes its place. You
can then use a bonus action to make a melee
spell attack against a creature within ten feet of the
whip with an attack bonus of plus nine on a
hit takes one D six plus five four damage. As
a bonus action on your turn, you can direct the
whip to fly up to twenty fe and repeat the
attack against a creature within ten feet of it after
one hour, when you use an action dismiss it, or
when you are incapacitated or die.
Speaker 4: So and it's one use and it's gone forever.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it says here different types of feather
token e SS, each with a different single use effect. Yeah,
so you've got this one. Oh wonderful man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it's wonder woman. It's only good during
the first act.
Speaker 3: That it's only good during the first act and then
it's really ship unfortunately. I mean that's that's what you rolled.
You rolled the dice, I.
Speaker 4: Know, and it's amazing it. I'm more sad about this
disappearing than Kenneth dying.
Speaker 3: I'm just well, then never never use it and it
will never put it in put it in my hat.
Speaker 4: Now, I look back at everybody for thirty seconds, then
to everybody got an extra fifty gold, right, everyone's got
an extra fifty gold, and I.
Speaker 6: Have around one hundred and sixty five gold. If I've
not spent any on armor.
Speaker 3: And junk, I've got absolutely no idea.
Speaker 10: But I have one hundred and fifty Yeah, yeah, so
I guess look at facts something after a job.
Speaker 3: And wait, well, you're asking him for more money.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 5: I'm telling him like he's never given me a magical
item after a job.
Speaker 3: No one's really, no one's ever taken out one of them. There,
someone in dikes here, that's why. Oh you did killed
a little basilisk, A wee little basilisk. Come over there, Mike,
all right, baby one at that It was just a basilist.
Baby basilis a little baby one. Yeah it looked a lot. Yeah, yeah,
of course it is basically plain. Next time you can
go kill the basilisk on your own. Maybe I will
go and kill you. Both know you'll hire me, Yeah,
we all know I will. Maybe I will yeah. Yeah,
well you won't. Rather it's your life than man. Yeah,
of course, rather your gold than.
Speaker 5: No gold.
Speaker 3: No gold, that's right, yeah, yeah, take your little cup.
Speaker 4: Or it's we all got that silver chalice?
Speaker 5: Why did we get a couple?
Speaker 3: He just gave you a silver chalice with your name
on it and an engraving of the battle with the
bow Ruger.
Speaker 5: Can I do an arcana check on this cup?
Speaker 3: You can? What are you trying to do?
Speaker 5: I want to figure out if it has any hidden
enchantments on it.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it was it was magically conjured, but
it is real and it's just a silver chalice.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, I just want to see if there was
like a tracking thing on it. There's no like a
weird hidden on it. We have a job to do, right,
we have a train to catch. We should go and
take it.
Speaker 4: All, like I said, so Rajah, make sure you get it.
Everybody had that fifty extra gold that we just passed
out for doing this, and then I'm gonna look at everybody.
So who wants a feather?
Speaker 8: You don't want it?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's amazing, it's great for my hat,
but is it is it at the same color as
lash by chance.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a ken Ku feather.
Speaker 5: Wonder Woman.
Speaker 3: Uh, I mean, are you buying lacks the Wonder Woman
outfit instead?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Can I trade it for the Wonder Woman outfit? I
mean we we could, We could hide it on lash
or does someone want this? I'll explain what it does.
If I was told I don't know what the.
Speaker 3: Meta is, Yeah, do we know what it is?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, like Fexus will explain what it is. Okay, explains
what it says in the chair.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So the idea of as a lash more than having
a cowboy.
Speaker 4: With a revolver in it. You just put the feather
on the revolver just in case. Yeah, because I can
hide it, she can hide it on her person, would
be the my thinking for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, all right, go for it. So, yeah, everybody
add to your inventory a silver Chalice flash ad Qualls
feather token, and everybody obviously gets the extra fifty gold,
bringing you to roughly somewhere around one hundred and fifty gold.
So far, pretty good for episode five.
Speaker 7: I know, I don't think I ever specifically stated it,
but I have the other fifty gold for each person
in the group other than strings. Okay, you just keeping
that from well, no, I'm saying that. He's like, as
Arden is walking around, like Raj's like giving out that
as well, so there'd be another fifty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, this is just a point where Arden and
Rajer are just handing gold pieces back to each other.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're just sitting there like swapping money and be
like wait, no, that's so wait hold on and unless
and if no one says anything about it, then he's
totally keeping Cannon's share.
Speaker 4: Sure, I wouldn't have thought about it.
Speaker 3: No one thinks about it.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fectus also hands you the fake summoning stone, Roger,
so you can replace box with fake summoning stone or
something of that similar. As he's handing it in, so
this looks like the one we gave him out of
the box, right, Yeah, like the size of a cricket ball.
It's red, looks kind of like it's like a gemstone.
We look like a perfectly carved circular or spherical ruby
or something like that.
Speaker 7: As he hands it to us, then I suppose I'll
ask him she came forward once already, she'll probably come
forward again. I suppose any idea where we should start?
Speaker 3: Oh, well, nobody knows quite where she is or where
she's made. But she's got a few followers now. But
he is these little knives. I'm sure you've seen him,
like the elves do no no idea. As far as
we know, she's been attacking people on the on the trains.
I think she can come and go somehow.
Speaker 7: Have these attacks on trains just been happening randomly looking
for the stone? I was under the impression we were
the only ones attacked.
Speaker 3: Oh, I know there's like ten, eleven, twelve. I think
groups like you eartlier with fakes doins.
Speaker 4: Can you.
Speaker 7: Make it public knowledge somehow that we're taking this? Can
you spread that word somehow?
Speaker 3: Well, why don't we do that?
Speaker 7: That's exactly the idea we could, just thinking it'd be
better to have more than one source. We go to
the tavern tonight, live it up for a little bit,
talk about our shiny red rock, make sure everyone knows
not how to draw them out of hiding.
Speaker 10: Or we go to Shallow scar Let her attack us
on the way to Crimson City.
Speaker 3: How's she going to know to attack us if we make.
Speaker 5: A ruckus and Shallow scar It's a big enough city.
Speaker 6: I can't go to Shallow Scar unless we find a body.
Speaker 3: Why do you need a body to go to Shallow Scar?
Speaker 5: Because Fexus, are you wanted there?
Speaker 7: Yes, she's very much not wanted to trust me.
Speaker 3: Where where aren't you one?
Speaker 4: Good one? Well?
Speaker 6: You see, I'm from Shallow Scar and I sort of
kind of almost stole from the chancellor there. So, But anyway,
we should get going to the tavern.
Speaker 3: Okay, welcome to my life.
Speaker 5: Well to the tavern. I guess Beexus wan't be back eventually.
Speaker 3: Oh so you say, do you know the passcord to get? Yes?
Speaker 9: I do?
Speaker 5: Do they do you know the it's what's the question
affects us?
Speaker 3: Whoever? Patriots? Yeah, it's the stupid question. Don't know what
it means either, do? I just checking? So where Norm
came up with it? M you ever met a Norm
called liquid?
Speaker 4: I look at him.
Speaker 5: Brother, it's been too long, I d.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't know.
Speaker 5: I bet he would know if love can still bloom
on the battlefield though, No, I don't.
Speaker 3: Think he could. I think he's got a brother of.
Speaker 5: The does brother of a brother of a brother?
Speaker 3: Well you ever end up in twin Gate? Look him up.
Speaker 4: Twin Gate? I'm writing this down.
Speaker 3: There's a name in twin Gate called Liquid, a strange
and crazy inventor that makes huge, great steampunk like steam monstrosity,
steam gears, helicopters.
Speaker 5: They call them bronze gear.
Speaker 3: They called they called iron cogs.
Speaker 5: Right to the tavern.
Speaker 3: Let's do it. You step in that bubble there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the way I am. Yeah, I hope
so you should be. That'll be nine times. Yeah, well,
let's not make it the one. This is why no
one likes the Wizards. I just want alright, I'll walk
in right after him. This is why no one likes wizards.
Step through it.
Speaker 3: As you step into the bubble, you it like as
you step through it, you step outside, just outside the
front doors, if you've walked out the front door, even
though the door is completely locked. One by one, each
of you steps out into the into the sort of
I guess it would be dusk, quite late in the day.
You spent quite a long time in here. Time is
also all strange. And I don't want to say it,
but whibbley wobblyby goddamn mother, all right, I hate that shirt.
The as you were as you step through fexus like
leans back and then speaks over his shoulder to seemingly
no one there and says, I think I'm a wizard.
There's a weird shimmer of a sort of a shadow
on the wall which forms into a kind of a
face and smiles. You see these kind of strange teeth,
the teeth of the fiend. Fexus is a warlock and
an evil bastard at one of them. You step out
into the evening of Windy Peaks again like it's it's
very windy in Windy Peaks, That's why it got its name.
There's the sound kind of the sea in the near distance,
down off the edge, and the town is closing down,
like it's probably eight nine pm beginning of dusk.
Speaker 8: What you guys want to do, is there a bounty board?
Speaker 3: A bounty board would be presumably at the tavern or
at like a sort of a sheriff's office or something
like that.
Speaker 9: Her liss is just gonna walk over to Rajah. We
need to remove all the flashes papers.
Speaker 7: Do you know anyone who can make her disappear?
Speaker 8: What you mean magically or.
Speaker 5: Her past got her a new identity?
Speaker 4: I hear of this?
Speaker 3: How quiet are you two trying to speak, he like
stepping away or are you next to him?
Speaker 8: Probably walked a little all the way.
Speaker 5: I'm keeping my voice down.
Speaker 3: Then I would say if they step away, then probably
not unless you're doing something very specific to try and
listen in.
Speaker 9: Well, I don't think I know anyone in this town,
but maybe I've in Crimson City.
Speaker 5: Well, for us to get to Shallow Scar, we have
to go back to Sin River. Maybe shouts can help.
Speaker 9: Maybe may know some others there. But first we need
to remove any paper saying that there's a bounty alphire here.
That way, then no one's gonna look at her. I
think all the wist.
Speaker 7: That, and our bounty is only two hundred, right, Yeah,
it's only two It's a decent chunk of money, but
there's a lot bigger fish to fry. As long as
she doesn't make a scene, she can fly under the radar.
Speaker 9: I'm sure we can make enough jobs to cover two hundred.
What would you rather have two hundred gold to waste
on whiskey and betty items or have someone that can
handle themselves in a fight.
Speaker 7: Well, we just made easily over two hundred with our
payment from that. I suppose if we pull it we
can just pay it off.
Speaker 9: Well, I think the back end of the bounty probably
wouldn't accept the payment.
Speaker 7: Yeah, gold isn't going to solve the problem. We need
to talk to whoever is trying to put the hit
on her in the first place.
Speaker 8: Well, when we get to the next location, I'll try
and find some contacts.
Speaker 7: You can run and check the board here, make sure
there's not a poster of or in town. Tear that down.
Speaker 8: I'll do that.
Speaker 7: Then once we get back to sin River, we can
ask around for someone that can help there.
Speaker 8: Sounds like a player.
Speaker 3: Do that, then, Carlias, you would probably be like relatively
aware since you know about the bounty that it was.
It's it's come down from Shallow Scar from the chancellor there,
which is a relatively new chancellor, quite young chancellor Tasalia Vossler.
And generally like these sort of bounties that come from
nobles or chancellors themselves, are you want to avoid like
official them, you know, like guards and mayors, chancellors, things
like that, people that are within the more specifically lawful
lawful as lawful as it gets here, official them. Last,
you'd probably be right like vaguely aware of this as well,
like avoid like sticking to back alleys and more CD
places and CD areas are a little safer for you
because at least if someone comes after the bounty there,
you can pay them off, Whereas if it's a guard,
you'll have a harder time because they're probably answering answering
to the Chancellor directly, which seemed to have been the
case here as well, that they were thuggish and dumb.
They the guys that came after you before were working
for the Chancellor here in Windy Peaks. But that's probably
all you know. The bounty would be nowhere near a
highs for Kennethy either. It would probably be something like
like one hundred and fifty gold.
Speaker 9: At this point, Carlos is gonna go ahead, walk over
to the border and try and see if there is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you guys are all heading to the tavern, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Guess I guess we'd be headed there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna specifically ask strings so this thing and hold
up the red orb.
Speaker 3: We need to.
Speaker 7: Now it's gonna ask you if you have one. We
need to make it known that we're carrying it, but
we can't be too obvious about it, so.
Speaker 10: We can convince some poor old sod in the tavern
to brag that he has a red orb and then
follow him and wait for a trap to be sprung
on him.
Speaker 5: And kill her when she shows up.
Speaker 7: We start a high stakes game of cards.
Speaker 4: We can do that.
Speaker 5: I'll wager this to you.
Speaker 7: In a card game, we get a bunch of other
people from the tavern witnessing the spectacle, watch it change hands.
Speaker 3: Could do that.
Speaker 7: That works that way, we don't have to have some
other person involved in be following them.
Speaker 10: Whatever works. I like that idea. And you play cards.
I never lose either, Do I?
Speaker 8: Hearlss in the background?
Speaker 3: You last a long time?
Speaker 8: He cheated?
Speaker 9: You cheated.
Speaker 5: I'm saying that, que I'm saying that real quiet.
Speaker 3: He cheated, No doubt you did too. Huh. So you two?
Speaker 10: What's the story with murdering each other? Why does the
bird have a bounty on her head? And why is
the cleric obsessed with me?
Speaker 5: What did I do?
Speaker 3: You probably existed?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 4: I want to be bragging in the background that I'm
better than him at the bar. Just do you just
hear him off in the background.
Speaker 7: He's he's an oddball. I I don't quite have a
grasp on the cleric. But he's good at sewing up
wounds so.
Speaker 5: Well, thankfully, soak an eye as well. So two people
that can take care of you.
Speaker 7: She might have to learn how to do that myself
one of these days. And then we have then we
have the bird who ran a foul of the law
and Shallow Scar years I can tell though. It shouldn't
be too hard to make that go away.
Speaker 10: She's and she's from Shallow Scar where all of the
Kenku died. Right, I can't remember. I think that's what
she said. Oh that's going to get ugly one day. Why,
no reason? Just some old things from the past, no reason.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 5: Well, you all have your secrets. I have mine. I'm
not keeping secrets. Hm, I don't doubt it.
Speaker 7: Let's play cards and make a big scene of it.
Speaker 5: Elias, you want in.
Speaker 7: To see back from the bounty board.
Speaker 5: Yet, I figure the general assumption is we're now in
the bar, right, because I yeah, well, I hear the
tavern music playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you guys head into the bar. It's the
sort of night crowd again, A little more well, a
lot more people in here than this morning when you
guys were in there. For breakfast similar to the night before.
Just people sat around, but there's also plenty of tables.
It's not completely packed out or anything. The same barman
is there from the previous night. I think his name
was Charryon Carrington. His name was con No, it's not.
And yeah, like we can assume, yeah, Tarian that he
walks in and sits down right and walks in it
comes not there, No, Tarian sort of waves at you
as you come in, takes any orders of drinks and things,
and and yeah, while you guys presumably had that conversation
kind of thing. He brings over the drinks and sets
them down, and you can set up like a game
of cards or dice or something.
Speaker 8: Remember what called the game on the train?
Speaker 3: You called it something with like, uh, Gunslinger's Dwarf and
gun Slinger card game three point zero.
Speaker 9: I think it was.
Speaker 3: It was something weird like that.
Speaker 5: I'm sure, I don't I don't remember the name of
the card game.
Speaker 3: It was something like Dwarfs cards or something. I know,
a dice game you can play. Do you want to
play a dice game?
Speaker 7: Wants to use card? No, Rasia wants to use this
cards because he's got marked cards.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we could play cards with most presumably both of
your stacked cards, or we could cast the knuckle bones
or dice we want to went, we could play Gwent.
Speaker 7: I've heard of that, I never played it. I don't
don't have a I don't have a deck for that.
Speaker 5: Yet standalone version sucks. The original was amazing.
Speaker 7: Okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna show him the gimmick
on the deck, which is like magician speak for like
how you can tell which card is which. But I'm
gonna pull strings over and show him that there's like
a tiny, the tiniest little black dot on the top,
like on the corner of the card for each ace,
and then there's a tiny, like almost imperceptible fold increase
on each of the king's right right. And so I'm like,
I'm showing him these marks and say, just so that
one of us wins, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4: Get it.
Speaker 7: We'll get as many people seated at the table as possible. Perfect,
and then we need a good.
Speaker 5: Arden. Where's Arden? I'm calling I'm calling Arden, and I'm
looking around for him. At this point, I could I
could cause a scene. Do you want me to cause
a scene?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 7: Okay, well, I was thinking, either you or I we
win the stone, but we need someone to talk up
how valuable it is and.
Speaker 5: Make a big scene of it.
Speaker 3: I've got this.
Speaker 5: Everybody in the bar attention.
Speaker 3: Everyone to see you looks and then turns away. Don't cut.
Speaker 5: Who wants to make some money?
Speaker 3: Everyone turns to you have their attention.
Speaker 5: This man right here has claimed he holds one of
the most rare stones.
Speaker 3: Hold it up.
Speaker 10: That I didn't see if you're holding I was looking
on the floor. And he has wagered it against me
for his life. Oh crap, and if he dies, you
get to keep his gold.
Speaker 3: Somebody throws a knife at rajah.
Speaker 5: As I'm going to assume that I'm about to get attacked.
Put in my shield in front of it. Now, anyone
who threw that, Who threw that?
Speaker 3: It just like a knife just goes like hits the
door frame. There's like five other knives around as well, just.
Speaker 10: The The loser will only be declared a loser if
he well loses. So hold your knives or I will
shove my spear down your throat.
Speaker 3: All right, okay, all right, I.
Speaker 7: Thought the goal was to get other people in on
the game, not to scare them off.
Speaker 4: You can join as well as I walk over.
Speaker 5: I will join this game a contender. Wow, incredible, man,
I've never met before.
Speaker 3: Three other people head over to you. There is a
young dwarf lady do.
Speaker 5: And uh.
Speaker 3: There is a young two little halflings men head over
to you as well. They just seem to be in
like normal garb. The dwarf looks like she might be
a traveler. The halflings look like they might live in town,
and they're just like hanging out. They don't I don't
look like they do anything in particular. You wouldn't know.
Possibly just average peasants like affiliates. Uh, you've got inspiration,
so I can say it. You go an inspiration. You've
got an inspiration. This is like this is like, this
is like paying someone. It's like, here's ten pounds so
I can like punch you in the stomach once.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Was that you would expect that? It's just I forgot
the word peasant exists and I enjoy it. So yeah, left,
Carlias is like outside like kicking like an old keg
with like like a bespeckled man with a beard.
Speaker 8: Carlias had the urge to write the name brown. Yeah,
a piece of just.
Speaker 3: Draw on it, the perfect visage of an emaciated human
with perfect collar bones on it. Who is too much
for twitch man?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: Wait until you're a metabolicy.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait till you get that's that subscription button? You
get these three with it?
Speaker 4: It needs to be a twenty four nine right there?
Perfect collar bones?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: So is Carlias joining us?
Speaker 7: I he went to go investigate the bounty board because reasons,
and I don't know if he's back yet.
Speaker 3: Carlias investigates the bounty board, you find that there are
a handful of bounties on there. One is for lash.
It's on the most recent looking punchment that's on the board.
You can rip it off from dispose of it if
you want to give me a.
Speaker 8: Slight hand check to talk about shoath.
Speaker 3: Give me a slight hand check to see how who
sees you do this ship.
Speaker 4: Inspiration? I do like the debating that's going on right now.
You can rip it off the board.
Speaker 5: It's spent more than ten minutes. You don't have inspiration
right anymore.
Speaker 3: That's well the GM, Yeah, he has the affiliate inspiration
die for.
Speaker 7: I thought the affiliate inspiration DIY is only like a
D four right, not like the.
Speaker 3: The affiliate inspiration I actually gives you disadvantage. No, it
gives you advantage, so it becomes a nineteen. So yeah,
you just like you walk up to the board and
you position yourself in such a way that's very difficult
for anim to see what you're doing there. And you
just gone and you you know, like folding up, rip
it up, put it in your pocket. As far as
you can tell, nobody sees you really do it. And
I guess you can head back to the table as
well where everybody is sat with.
Speaker 10: Looking these people, sorry, looking across at Rajah. I'm going
to use the spell message and I'm going to.
Speaker 5: Rajah. I'm not sure if you've had this done before,
but never Okay, it's a spell. Good thing. You're doing
the thing with your hands. That's how this spell works.
Speaker 10: Let's try and take some gold from these coorseards first
before we give it the game.
Speaker 7: Now, when you yelled at the room, you said that
I was wagering the stone and I was wagering my life.
You're not wagering anything, So I'm going to lose my
belongings or die.
Speaker 5: Well, see, I'll protect you if that happens. Don't worry, right,
you can. We just slayed a demon. How are you scared?
Speaker 7: I'm just wondering how anyone is the worst.
Speaker 5: Anyone here is affiliated, so we should be fine.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's too many affiliates here.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry I had to make that jump. I'm
sorry it was although I was just like spinnings the
barrel of the gun.
Speaker 7: No, I was just I was just like, I was like,
wait a second, I'm wagering up the rock, and I'm
also wagering up my life.
Speaker 5: I'm waging my heart.
Speaker 10: Yeah right, because that will turn heads. That's gilded. Listen,
this harp means a lot.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 7: Emotional value or sentimental value sells for a lot, right
to one person.
Speaker 5: Well, fuck, I don't have anything.
Speaker 3: I only have money.
Speaker 7: Just wait, how about this? We wait until we get
everyone else to fold. When it's only you and me left,
we raise the stakes all the way. One of us
has to win.
Speaker 5: That works. I still want to steal as much gold
from them as possible.
Speaker 20: Also here, the winner or I will wager a ballad
on behalf of whoever wins.
Speaker 5: There's my wager. All right, let's go. All right, well
it means a lot. We'll start it.
Speaker 7: We'll start up a game of cards with the two
of us, using our knowledge of the marked cards.
Speaker 5: Try and rig this as much as possible would be advantage.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you can have advantage to your your cards.
Speaker 4: Checks.
Speaker 3: Who's playing? I'm blowing everyone, everyone's last the only one
not playing.
Speaker 7: I'm not playing.
Speaker 6: I'm kind of slinking in the shadows somewhere.
Speaker 3: So everyone roll. Well, it would just be a D twenty.
If you have proficiency with cards, then you can add
your proficiency. Rajah and Strings have advantage because they understand
about the cards. I'm going to roll out.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter I would.
Speaker 3: I'm going to roll.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you have a proficiency with cards. I think
someone is it your car? I?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I so I don't have that, but as a bard,
I can add half of my proficiency bonus to any
role that I'm not thinking?
Speaker 5: So can I a us wonder?
Speaker 3: This? Sure?
Speaker 5: Cool?
Speaker 3: Jack of all trades? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh wait, so I forgot what am I doing?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah?
Speaker 5: We rolled twice for all the two and the three.
Speaker 3: The dwarf rolls the there's a dwarf she introduces herself
to you as Borger. There's a halfling that introduces himself
as he Bow, and then another halfling who looks very dumb,
who introduced himself as.
Speaker 4: Buck and rolls, O god, yeah.
Speaker 3: While you guys are playing the cards, he like spends
half the time with his cards like on the table,
talking to you about like where you're from, this like
dumb one that you can just see what cards he has,
and outplaying completely Strings. You're fairly confident that you've worked
the table very well. You know exactly who's got witch
cards through sheer, dumb or divine luck. When the cards
are revealed, Arden has like a full like dwarf and flush,
you know. He he somehow completely outplays you all and
wins the ante, which would be ten gold from everyone.
You said, sure, okay, so let's see ten thirty gold.
Speaker 7: Yeah you just wan.
Speaker 5: You just want a lot you just won like seventy
gold or something.
Speaker 3: Christ, yeah, seventy gold. It would be sixty if you
haven't minused your own.
Speaker 4: Ten kind of thing, and just I just give Strings
a dirty look.
Speaker 3: The halfling looks over and says, so you're going to
kill him? Then does he get the stone and you
get to kill him.
Speaker 5: No, that's you have to. He hasn't antied it yet.
He's got to put it in the pot.
Speaker 3: He was gonna kill him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, keep playing. How much gold do you?
Speaker 3: I'm out?
Speaker 5: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: Bucket? Buck is out?
Speaker 4: Like four years of his page.
Speaker 5: Buck is done.
Speaker 3: He's also he's dumb, and he's drunk, and he's I
can't you're kidding me, And then he stumbles out of
the barn.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna order extra drinks and have it
dispensed to all the other people playing like I'm gonna
get one for myself and it's gonna sit there and
I'm not really drinking it, but I'm gonna order like
hard drinks for everyone else at the sable.
Speaker 3: Sure Borger the dwarf claps you on the back with
one large dwarf in hand. She has a huge bag
at her side. It seems like she might be maybe
a merchant of some sort, and she she hits you
on the back and says, that's going to why that one. Yeah,
I'll have I'll have a glass of that, thank you
very much. There she's quite old and yeah, she as
you deal about the cars, she accepts, and.
Speaker 10: Before we deal, I'm going to like quietly inspire myself. Sure,
like just going like rig a little bit more. I'm
just gonna like lightly tug on the harp and just
give myself a D six.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Can bards inspire themselves? I'm sure they can.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure they can. Can't they? I don't know
what the fuck?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 10: Okay, hold on, I actually don't think so. I don't
think I've ever thought of this. Can bards inspire themselves?
Speaker 5: Hold on?
Speaker 3: Uh? Hold on? Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure you can.
Speaker 5: Or is it a higher level thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can.
Speaker 5: Fuck me in the dick? Wow, okay, you can.
Speaker 3: Mind.
Speaker 5: I'm going to inspire Rajah. Then I'm just gonna like
wink at him and play a little tune.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember what happens to Bob.
Speaker 7: I'm so inspired that I turned into j with a
pile of money.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's level twelve apparently.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember they get some weird bullshits.
Speaker 4: So dumb. Okay, I'm going to can I have a kazoo? No,
damn it, I'm going to reach over?
Speaker 3: Can I reach over can't magic grab a kazoo. However,
Borger does sell items. Maybe she sells kazoos.
Speaker 4: Does she? I'm buying kazoo from her.
Speaker 3: You don't know if she sells kaziz I.
Speaker 4: Would you happen to sell kazooks? I I'll talk to
her throughout the thing to see if it's crazy?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 4: Oh I know that.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 3: I couldn't carry one of them. Yeah, there's not even
a river. There's no rivers where you're gonna go because you.
Speaker 4: A good point strings, yes, and I'm gonna reach over.
Could I pluck one of his little will kill you?
I hesitate for a little bit and do it anyway.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna slap his rest away.
Speaker 4: It's at a way okay, but I'll make a I'll
make this sound anyway the bloom, and I'll cast guidance
on myself if I can sure.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start dealing the next hand. All right, Well,
actually wait, who's who's I don't know who's dealing, but
I dealt the first time, so I'm letting someone else deal.
Speaker 3: I guess i'll deal this time. Yeah, you deal, calls
out to everyone. Everyone throws ten gold in and uh yeah,
rolls jeez, well you get you get this.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna add the one to that.
Speaker 3: You have a you can roll again, remember, yeah, you
have advantage. Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I got a fifteen and I'll add the
one D six to that. Okay, so I have a nineteen.
Speaker 3: Jay, did you roll?
Speaker 5: I got a twelve and a night Okay, yeah, I
was the first rolls.
Speaker 3: You can roll a D four right, That's what guidance does,
gives you a default.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna wait for it.
Speaker 7: Okay, when I when I when I see that I
have the good hand, I'm gonna, I'm gonna edy up
the rock under the table.
Speaker 3: This is for the halfling, and then this one's for
the wharf.
Speaker 7: Oh snap, oh uh.
Speaker 3: The and while while Strings was like dealing out the cards,
he made me lost track of one of them since
they're not his deck of cards, and ended up in
the halfling's hand. However, Uh, it's fine, Yeah, it's fine
because Raj has while Raja has the the eleven run,
the halfling has a pair of goblins, and you just
just beat him out. As he reveals his hand, he's like, ah.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try and farm as
much money out of it first as I can. I'm
gonna first I'm gonna add, like anti up an extra
ten gold and see if anyone else is gonna keep
up with that, and then I give. If they stay
in the game, then I'm gonna say, well, I'm out
of gold to wager, but I can wager this, and
and put the rock on the table.
Speaker 3: The dwarf places a kazoo into the mix, and the
halfling adds an extra five gold.
Speaker 11: It's all I got, right, I'm out, Yeah, boded Carlow.
Speaker 5: It's hard. It's hard to it's hard to get people
to any up when they can all who's.
Speaker 3: One in a way, in a way, in a way
you do already know who's one, because you've been counting
the cards or whatever. So you you hand the everyone
turns their cards face up, rajah, you win. What would
it be? Fifty five gold, a kazoo and and the
and the stone. The halfling stands up, kicks his chair
over and storms out, fucking fact, stormy money, my wife's
gonna cut And he walks out and leaves the tavern
completely penniless. Two halflings penniless. But the dwarf is sitting
there just laughing, enjoying it, fucking lovely. All right, what
what what?
Speaker 5: What is this exactly? I'm holding up the kazoo.
Speaker 4: To the dwarf.
Speaker 3: That's a duck whistle. Show me like that.
Speaker 7: Does it look clean?
Speaker 3: No, not at all. That looks like someone used it
for something else entirely maybe not their mouth.
Speaker 5: Here I can, I can show you smells weird? You like,
wipe it off?
Speaker 2: And just.
Speaker 3: Are you proficient with kazoo? Because you as a barge
you picked three instruments, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's loot harbor ukulele.
Speaker 3: So no, give me a performance rolling all right? This
is this is plus one because I'm.
Speaker 4: An idiot using darkest dungeon rules.
Speaker 3: You now syphilis need to roll me a constitution saving
for her?
Speaker 5: Oh my fucking guard. It immediately summons a beholder.
Speaker 3: You narrowly avoid pinky. Give me an investigation check. Okay,
I'm making somebody checks what.
Speaker 4: I assume bros.
Speaker 3: He plays, He plays the final countdown, but like pretty
much about as well as probably you just did on
a kazoo.
Speaker 5: It's a nine, actually, it's a nine.
Speaker 3: You just make your constitution saving through it. Because as
you're blowing on the kazoo, which was previously once in
someone's asshole because they did like they tried to do
like a fart with it to see if it would
make a noise before they lost it in a game
of cards to Borga, who then went on to sell it.
You were blowing all the fecal matter out of the
top part of the kazoo and it was all flying
all over your face. But you didn't know that. That's
just what we saw as an audience as we zoom
in on it, and you don't you fail to smell
or work out that this kazoo isn't anything but relatively clean.
So you have a kazoo. It's it's definitely gross, but
you don't know that.
Speaker 5: Lovely. Uh, I'm gonna park at the kazoo and winked argon.
Speaker 3: Borga looks to you, Raja and says, doing what.
Speaker 5: Oh this it's a summoning stone. You can use it.
Speaker 7: What's that in m You can use it to summon
a giant sand Master from the desert, according to legends.
Speaker 5: Never tried it myself.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I didn't know they looked like that. Yeah,
I've seen people someone ellamentals before they have a looked in.
They said, give it a go.
Speaker 5: You want to actually try to summon a sand giant?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, else we're going to do. She grabs her
ale and swigs at it, puts it down.
Speaker 7: I don't maybe in the morning. He is getting quite
late in this lot of trunk around. Who knows how
they'd react to a giant sand monster.
Speaker 3: She wings at you and licks her lips. Get you.
Speaker 5: We have to wait as well, Rajah.
Speaker 10: We are supposed to take it to Crimson City or
sin River, or on our way to Shallow Scar, one
of those three cities.
Speaker 5: You think I don't know that she's the one who
wants to use it. Well, I'm just telling her that's
where we're taking.
Speaker 7: No I was.
Speaker 5: I was responding to him through its little telepathic thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, that's not anymore unfortunate.
Speaker 4: Okay, Arden stands up, So it's nonsense. I'll play for
it now. I go down en Gold.
Speaker 3: Uh the merchant the merchanty wells down ten Gold.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind it all right, I'll wager it again.
I'm gonna message Arden, go Arden, what the fuck are
you doing?
Speaker 4: Just I just make it really just like.
Speaker 5: I'm winning, Arden, we're supposed to. I'm winning the stone
for us art and the ruse is over. We're done.
Speaker 4: Click ten gold.
Speaker 5: He hung up on me.
Speaker 4: Very well.
Speaker 7: Instead of the ten gold, I put the I put
the stone back on the table.
Speaker 3: Time out and not participating.
Speaker 4: But do you have a kazoo?
Speaker 5: You're not winning the kazoo? Arden, Fine, I wager the kazoo.
Speaker 3: Put the kazoo on the table. Uh, all right, roll
roll your dice.
Speaker 7: Is it just the four of us playing?
Speaker 3: No, the dwarf is still in.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, me the dwarf, Arden and strings Carl, Yeah, okay, yeah, then.
Speaker 7: I'm just sitting back watching. Well cool, I use my
Did I really just roll too nighth I know right?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 3: I just rolled a fucking three into two?
Speaker 4: So win? Wait?
Speaker 3: What four? Twelve?
Speaker 4: The wait?
Speaker 5: What did the merchant roll? She can very well end
up with all?
Speaker 3: She rolled a seven? Wins?

Speaker 4: I just uh. And I look over at the dwarf
and I go.
Speaker 19: Even though I might just win this one, I am
very happy that I don't have anybody cheating in here,
because I wouldn't want our fair friend losing his life.
Speaker 4: That would be horrible. Remember, if he loses, he would
lose his life, and I don't want that.
Speaker 5: It would be terrible. But I assure you there's no
cheaters in here.
Speaker 3: She looks he looks down at the cards and says,
it's lucky he's not dead. Yeah, he's whining again, and
she pulls up a drink. All right, that's it, I'm out,
And she stands up, pushes herself away from the table,
walks over to the bar, and sits down next to
her like the corner in a darkened corner with lash
and says, eh, he's a he's got someone in store
and you know that, and begins to spread the rumor
to everyone else she meets.
Speaker 7: Oh, cool, cool, it looks like I win again and
toss the stone up in the air and catch it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like there's like people all around the room
who are like looking at you and looking at the
stone and muttering under their breath. Lash.
Speaker 7: I want to look across the table at strings and say,
next up sin River. See how much money I can
win there?
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh, we're headed to sin River. Then wow, I
think I oversold it maybe or maybe a little bit.
Speaker 3: It's what I do.
Speaker 8: I'm a bard.
Speaker 3: In the corner with Lash is a very small gnome
who looks up at you Lash and says, oh, what
a look to run on the Laura Barn.
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm uh, I'm just I gotta I gotta go,
and I just kind of head up the steps.
Speaker 3: The gnome pulls up a good and disappears under the
stairs and like watches you following you up the stairs,
and then he he begins to creepily follow you around.
Are you trying to hide or are you just walking
up to because you guys have a room here you
can still have for the evening.
Speaker 5: Do I see this with that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was gonna ask a lot of all playing
cards at this point.
Speaker 8: Oh, Carolas, wasn't playing the last.
Speaker 3: One, Carlias, give me a perception check beat a twenty heyccept.
It's hard to notice, but the little you notice, this
little gnome like dip into the shadow. He kind of
very calmly walks over to one shadow and he's very
hard to make out with this like dark hood on.
And then you see Lash head upstairs towards one of
the rooms where you guys are. The nome waits just
long enough so it doesn't seem too strange, and then
casually disappear is appearing once again in another shadow over
by the stairs and creeps up behind where where Lash
is going. Lash. As you get to the top of
the stairs, you hear, in fact, do you give me
a perception check? Makes it breaks? You just about hear
behind you the very soft unsheathing of a dagger, a
familiar sound to somebody who might have trained with more
like assassiny types or thieves gild types like a chink,
and you hear from behind your sur lash Kylias. You
see the gnome draw the dagger and like about to
like leap up onto Lash at the table. You're probably
halfway between the table and the stairs. At the table,
these guys are all like hah, money and summoning stone
and all of the wealth we have. When almost everyone
in the bar jumps up, thuggish men, other guys in
hoods and things, and everyone just goes all right, gum,
and everyone bundles the table with you on. And that's
where we end the session today. So at the beginning
of next week, roll some roll some initiative.
