was an avalanche and maybe if we get
questions during a monologue from shm
0:07:18.000,0:07:21.360
we can like write it into chat because
there is a chat function on chry that
0:07:21.360,0:07:32.600
we never use that is a good idea um so red
light anybody ever play traffic lights um
0:07:32.600,0:07:44.760
red light we rejoin the wild cards in the
far north of D where they travel in search
0:07:44.760,0:07:53.720
of unique reagents required to restore the health
0:07:53.720,0:08:04.880
of their Ally and friend skull against
a backdrop of a world undergoing great
0:08:04.880,0:08:15.920
change the opening of the benic rift
has flooded what used to be a desert the
0:08:15.920,0:08:23.360
dark point in the night sky grows ever
larger leading to the rise of Doomsday
0:08:23.360,0:08:33.440
cults and much unrest the world over
and the wild cards have found themselves
0:08:33.440,0:08:45.000
torn on one hand there is the
urgency of restoring skull to
0:08:45.000,0:08:55.960
health but on the other they've received word
through dreams and portance that in the Dela
0:08:55.960,0:09:08.440
hold of kandra their once friend the child Padu is
held hostage taken by the same strange forces that
0:09:08.440,0:09:17.880
were present at the unsealing of the benthic rift
and who continue to strive towards some unknown
0:09:17.880,0:09:27.360
goal an avalanche has separated two of your
number morac and gandan who are now trapped
0:09:27.360,0:09:38.840
deep beneath the ground and with skull's friend
nibong are attempting to make the way Underground
0:09:38.840,0:09:46.080
through ancient tunnels and Delver mines
to reville at kandak once your quests are
0:09:46.080,0:09:52.800
done and here in the far
0:09:52.800,0:10:01.560
north having retrieved two of the reagents
you needed you have have met a new
0:10:01.560,0:10:06.000
face Scrappy
0:10:06.000,0:10:17.840
wizard led to the north by visions of death and
disaster but also visions of you of the wild
0:10:17.840,0:10:33.800
cards as the clock continues to tick and the days
continue you to turn towards skull's ultimate
0:10:33.800,0:10:43.640
demise find yourselves at a Crossroads to
continue the Quest for the reagents take
0:10:43.640,0:10:51.520
you to the east to strike directly
for kandak would take you to the
0:10:51.520,0:10:59.040
West your choice now is between
0:11:00.160,0:11:04.320
time skulls continued
0:11:04.320,0:11:11.560
wellbeing and as the day Dawns having had a chance
0:11:11.560,0:11:20.480
to rest after your fight
with the strange Arctic Ice
0:11:20.480,0:11:31.640
worm this is where we begin
tonight let's roll some
0:11:31.640,0:11:39.880
dice my founder is still loading
but we will set the scene
0:11:39.880,0:11:57.160
um gemus as you awake and roll out of Furs
kind of kept warm by the continual buzzing
0:11:57.160,0:12:05.040
and thrumming of the swarm of insects that
Nets around your shoulders you can see phas
0:12:05.040,0:12:13.480
yawning stretching having also just awoken skull
and Blaze appear to be deep in thought deep in
0:12:13.480,0:12:22.280
conversation I should say um to one side of
the camp looks like they've been talking for
0:12:22.280,0:12:28.880
hours FaZe wakes up looks around and go
0:12:31.760,0:12:32.640
I slept like the
0:12:32.640,0:12:47.160
Dead the floor is yours green light why why is
everyone called sketch we're all sketch we're
0:12:47.160,0:12:57.640
all the car sketches oh hang on are all the
imagination all Imaginary Friends of a dude
0:12:57.640,0:13:04.000
called sketch and he can't nus wouldn't that be
a great way to end it be a great way to end end
0:13:04.000,0:13:11.320
the party a Dre it was all a dream uh you are
probably all showing up a sketch on the splash
0:13:11.320,0:13:16.880
screen because I had to do something to your
tokens to stop uh them being colorized and
0:13:16.880,0:13:23.320
painted and things like that you are your real
people quick clarification question the last
0:13:23.320,0:13:30.040
session that me and Rio played has happened
so he has his new thing he does it actually
0:13:30.040,0:13:35.640
happened he's always had it it happened a long
time ago he just forgot it was UPG is it actually
0:13:35.640,0:13:45.960
upgraded yet in that Rio the new symbols on your
new thing are very similar to the symbols around
0:13:45.960,0:13:50.600
the edge of the robe that Blaze wears and you
haven't seen it yet but they'd also be on his
0:13:50.600,0:14:02.920
Spellbook uh gemas as you kind of Tak in this
scene you you can see that um that Blaze has
0:14:02.920,0:14:15.440
been um looks like he's been working on skull's
on skull's dagger on um zon's tongue um and looks
0:14:15.440,0:14:22.440
to have um kind of taken cuting from the uh
from the Bea tooth from the lightning Beast
0:14:22.440,0:14:29.440
that you fought and uh appears to have
kind of crafted some sort of upgrade to
0:14:29.440,0:14:41.600
it what's that thing going to do
now looks worse than before what
0:14:41.600,0:14:47.200
did you just notice this he W he
activates his sparkler and waves it
0:14:47.200,0:14:58.320
around you like the runes the dagger is
it what what is that supposed to do now
0:14:58.320,0:15:02.720
what it what it always did you know I stab
things with it and they they you know start
0:15:02.720,0:15:12.320
shaking fair enough no change nothing has
changed in it apart from the ruins Blaze
0:15:12.320,0:15:19.840
pipes up here and says ideally it should be more
lightning but that should hopefully be all it
0:15:19.840,0:15:24.600
does you notice the lightning is changed
in color is now white yeah I forgot about
0:15:24.600,0:15:31.320
that what was it before see if you can
stab me with it it was a sort of a blue
0:15:31.320,0:15:39.960
blue tinged lightning um I I I don't
want to Hur you dude I mean you know
0:15:39.960,0:15:45.240
got the blue armor on I'm resistant to
it I've got someone at the door so I st
0:15:45.240,0:15:58.080
away oh [ __ ] maybe knock also has someone at the
door actually while we just have a moment I will
0:15:58.080,0:16:05.120
say on on the pork issue someone did mention The
Foundry chat I have noticed that uh a lot of the
0:16:05.120,0:16:11.240
time when questions are asked in The Foundry chat
they often tend to get Miss like not for quite a
0:16:11.240,0:16:16.320
while yeah I don't usually do it so that there
have been times where like uh I've seen someone
0:16:16.320,0:16:20.000
will like ask something in The Foundry chat and
then we'll have to ask again in like voice a few
0:16:20.000,0:16:24.280
minutes later just because they didn't get an
answer yeah that might be another way to help
0:16:24.280,0:16:29.920
with that is true keep an eye on that yeah if you
are asking in Foundry and you notice I haven't
0:16:29.920,0:16:36.120
noticed it definitely draw it to my attention
um question yeah I haven't even got my Foundry
0:16:36.120,0:16:42.120
loaded yet I appear to be having some Chrome
issues so ask ask why you have the well there's
0:16:42.120,0:16:48.440
a uh I haven't marked the long rest for this
one because I was I Soph was skipping this for
0:16:48.440,0:16:56.120
the I'm just not sure if I've rolled and marked
the charge for it like end of last session or if
0:16:56.120,0:17:02.360
I need to do that now and I'm wondering if you
maybe have a note of it or anything it's a long
0:17:02.360,0:17:11.400
shot H me take notes what a crazy thought um I'll
roll for yeah that's fine yep I was I mean I was
0:17:11.400,0:17:16.120
going to say just as simplicity so it's been so
long since we played and we had like a flashback
0:17:16.120,0:17:19.360
session I was just going to give everybody a long
rest to be honest and we can all start off from
0:17:19.360,0:17:28.720
the same place uh we've had a long rest just for
Simplicity sake I have new you guys have I just
0:17:28.720,0:17:37.800
pass my saving throw to skip a night sleep Sir
oh [ __ ] we got charges baby those voices are
0:17:37.800,0:17:47.080
starting to sound a little bit louder a little bit
more insistent it's only true Chargers all right
0:17:47.080,0:17:53.080
we got got knock back knock is back I think
he's back yeah I'm back stop clicking around
0:17:53.080,0:17:59.800
the windows I'm even skull again back again I
actually assumed that where um he also had a
0:17:59.800,0:18:08.760
visitor just overloading my laptop um
as soon as I can pull the map up I will
0:18:08.760,0:18:17.360
pull the map up um but as you break
your fast and put together a simple
0:18:17.360,0:18:25.400
meal make your preparations to depart is there
anybody anything would like anything anybody
0:18:25.400,0:18:32.960
would like to do uh yeah sort out which direction
we're going don't think you have sk's planning to
0:18:32.960,0:18:42.720
go west um glaz will literally cast ay okay
me at the end of the day it's up to you but
0:18:42.720,0:18:50.080
everywhere we seem to go we either get [ __ ]
plane shifted or we end end up going to another
0:18:50.080,0:19:00.880
dimension I mean if that happens you're dead we
won't be back in time maybe actually can that be
0:19:00.880,0:19:17.720
done uh in a moment um in a moment Blaze I'll get
to your a Rio and knar sorry skull and gemis yes
0:19:17.720,0:19:25.200
um I was just going to let you continue
having your conversation oh all right well
0:19:25.200,0:19:35.000
listen we established we can we can always
play shift back if we did end up somewhere
0:19:35.000,0:19:43.000
maybe I mean we we could be out here and get
killed to doing this circle you never know
0:19:43.000,0:19:49.080
what's going to happen yeah I mean I've given
up trying to reason with you if you want to put
0:19:49.080,0:19:58.240
your life on the line that's okay let's go do
it more GL silently from somewhere deep below
0:20:01.680,0:20:06.640
would be burning but you know she's a Goliath
so they're just like freezing in the tips just
0:20:06.640,0:20:12.400
a t which do make me question have I heard
any response from nibong yet I know he was
0:20:12.400,0:20:19.040
unconscious for a while have you been trying
to communicate with him I think each day I'd
0:20:19.040,0:20:28.400
been contacting him off the Avalanche um okay
so um I'm going to say that yes um you you are
0:20:28.400,0:20:35.360
able to contact nibang okay Co we did it after
a while he didn't respond at first but then
0:20:35.360,0:20:42.160
later he did yeah oh yes that's right sorry
yeah I'm just it's coming back to me now um
0:20:42.160,0:20:51.080
good uh I mean Sophia will kind of
just look over and there kind of
0:20:51.080,0:20:54.880
notd in agreement with gemus
it's your choice ultimately
0:20:54.880,0:20:58.120
skul
0:21:00.200,0:21:10.200
oh it this isn't all about me there someone in
trouble someone they need to do nasty things to
0:21:10.200,0:21:18.960
and if we save her then we stop them and then the
world isn't [ __ ] I I I'm baffled how this is a
0:21:18.960,0:21:28.600
conversation FaZe will step up at this point
and she'll she'll kind of look down at your
0:21:28.600,0:21:32.600
skull and she'll
0:21:32.600,0:21:37.160
say listen
0:21:37.160,0:21:45.280
cogs it's a conversation because as important as
0:21:45.280,0:21:50.360
this is nobody wants to see
you throw your life away for
0:21:50.360,0:22:02.720
it you're one of the strongest
weapons we have against this if
0:22:02.720,0:22:05.600
we lose you in the middle of
the battle I doubt we can win
0:22:05.600,0:22:15.320
it you take it as a foregone conclusion I'm gonna
tell we got a whole month oh do you know how much
0:22:15.320,0:22:20.360
we do in a month how long have we been out on the
road we must have been out on the road a couple of
0:22:20.360,0:22:25.160
weeks uh I think it's been about two weeks i'
have to dig back through but it's between two
0:22:25.160,0:22:33.680
and three I think it was I think it was around two
the whole Loop was to take a little under a month
0:22:33.680,0:22:39.280
the whole Loop was meant to take a little under
a month okay it's probably not it won't be three
0:22:39.280,0:22:45.160
yeah yeah I I think we worked out that it has to
have been a week otherwise the fetch quests are
0:22:45.160,0:22:52.240
literally was impossible yeah I think that was
what we figured out was that yeah it secretly
0:22:52.240,0:23:00.840
we were all meant to go individually to one of
them yeah we can solo here yeah yeah of course
0:23:00.840,0:23:07.920
kill it we just needed some blood I can confirm
that was not the plan that was not what I had
0:23:07.920,0:23:16.840
envisaged okay he's that pH looks down at you and
0:23:16.840,0:23:23.000
says so you understand the
0:23:23.000,0:23:33.000
consequences if we don't get if we don't get
this and get back to that old Gnome look it's
0:23:33.000,0:23:42.240
not like I want to die I just feel this is
the path I need to take I just know it is you
0:23:42.240,0:23:49.160
weren't die I've always trusted my instincts
and that's what they're telling me then we go
0:23:49.160,0:23:57.880
west phasal straighten up she
kind of glances towards you
0:24:00.760,0:24:04.480
sair and then looks a
0:24:04.480,0:24:13.760
gous she shakes her head and
sze and mutters something and
0:24:13.760,0:24:22.720
say fair enough let's strike Camp to
make a way over and start packing a bed
0:24:22.720,0:24:33.800
roll um could we say that can I get a recap
so we the five things that we needed to get
0:24:33.800,0:24:45.560
with three in right two two you've got the um
beia uh SC and the blood scale blood you still
0:24:45.560,0:24:52.480
needed Hydra blood um you needed a a type of
flour and you needed lime salt from a frozen
0:24:52.480,0:25:02.120
River no we we got the he heart string we need
Hy blood Hy blood yeah yeah um could we say
0:25:02.120,0:25:08.480
that my um ay like finished halfway through that
conversation sure what was your question for the
0:25:08.480,0:25:13.600
orre um how's the day going to go or how's
the first little while of the day going to
0:25:13.600,0:25:27.680
go it's a tricky one to answer
Sunny With a Chance of Meatballs um
0:25:36.040,0:25:41.400
get with me one moment yep but the reason
I'm asking if it could be done um halfway
0:25:41.400,0:25:47.880
through is play was going to pipe up yeah
so that you can contribute okay um in that
0:25:47.880,0:26:03.880
case roll a D20 for me oo no mle F just strap
20 just a straight 20 a one and tell me what
0:26:03.880,0:26:10.560
you got because my Foundry actually still
is Lucky 13 Lucky 13 didn't we just upgrade
0:26:10.560,0:26:15.320
your laptop thing that happed I haven't
actually purchased a new laptop yet it
0:26:15.320,0:26:20.240
is the old laptop I actually don't know
what foundaries issue is at the moment
0:26:20.240,0:26:25.320
probably your laptop well it knows you
haven't been running a campaign lately
0:26:25.320,0:26:30.040
and it's being a little neglected probably
hang on just going to read the text on
0:26:30.040,0:26:51.840
orre okay you get wheel and wo yeah
0:26:51.840,0:27:05.000
do from col Beast yeah um as the with the bad
conversation is happening between this uh the
0:27:05.000,0:27:15.040
party MH BL is kind of Sly like interject
it's like probably not my place I can maybe
0:27:15.040,0:27:21.640
help revealing or defining where this uh
person skull's looking to save actually is
0:27:21.640,0:27:38.480
maybe if that is something group would like
knowing can you do it uh safely yeah not work
0:27:38.480,0:27:47.520
but yeah they they might be under wngs in that
case the spell just wouldn't penetrate okay
0:27:47.520,0:27:57.520
sure uh can you describe this person do if you
have a a picture a painting a token from them
0:27:58.920,0:28:03.120
little so this is the second hand
0:28:03.120,0:28:09.720
so you're taking the bullet
on the scrying for me because
0:28:09.720,0:28:23.400
ell all right do this but then I was like
Blaze to um kind of show what he can do
0:28:23.400,0:28:29.720
so I've sh spell in VT so it's easy for
everyone to find me if I get this wrong
0:28:29.720,0:28:33.560
so the target must make a wisdom
wisdom saving throw which for me
0:28:33.560,0:28:46.000
is
0:28:46.000,0:28:52.320
24 plus three I think because it's
a second hand you've heard of the
0:28:52.320,0:28:56.160
Target but I have a likeness of picture
all right hang on and that's when Beed
0:28:56.160,0:29:05.440
invaded his mind wait how is your save 24
I have a 22 intelligence plus a um yeah he
0:29:05.440,0:29:21.800
got of the the manual Justa I'm GNA zap I'm GNA
give this a couple of sessions we're going to see
0:29:21.800,0:29:31.120
how this goes with all these bonuses if plays is
too much nothing's 24 I may have to uh I may have
0:29:31.120,0:29:38.120
to why did I roll a 1 D 100 I may have to um you
up the other members of the party I may have to
0:29:38.120,0:29:43.760
reimburse you for something um no that's that's
fair enough instead of rolling a D20 roll the
0:29:43.760,0:29:55.560
d00 easy totally fine come on here Al righty
um you 21 I think is the DC describe describe
0:29:55.560,0:30:02.240
to me how you scry what does does that look
like for you uh Blaze doesn't actually get
0:30:02.240,0:30:09.400
out any of the things traditionally associated
with scrying um either few fortune tellers or
0:30:09.400,0:30:17.000
otherwise he quite literally just closes his
eyes for a moment and kind of Twitches his
0:30:17.000,0:30:22.600
head and then he starts seeing things
so it's very much he could be doing it
0:30:22.600,0:30:27.240
and you wouldn't know you just think he'd be
like shering or something or twitching okay
0:30:29.440,0:30:42.760
you you close your eyes and you feel the
the cold of the Mountain Air Fades away
0:30:42.760,0:30:50.160
that sharp scent of pine sap born on the
Wind disappears and there is a new sense of
0:30:50.160,0:30:57.240
cold it is dark
0:31:02.600,0:31:05.680
you find yourself in a small
0:31:05.680,0:31:10.760
chamber with stone
0:31:10.760,0:31:19.320
walls and huddled in one
0:31:19.320,0:31:32.320
corner it's a young girl in a
simple peasant dress stained and
0:31:32.320,0:31:42.840
filthy curled up in a ball with a head
0:31:42.840,0:31:50.840
down thick pinkish brown plaes or
0:31:50.840,0:31:57.160
scales across that head with tiny little nubbins
0:31:59.160,0:32:01.960
in much the same fashion as
the drawing that you were
0:32:01.960,0:32:15.480
shown and it looks like she's in like a
um a prison cell within the 10t I can see
0:32:15.480,0:32:21.600
yes it does and now I would like
you to make a wisdom saving throw
0:32:21.600,0:32:31.880
please and tell me the result it is
0:32:31.880,0:32:40.920
18 as you fix your Gaze on this
0:32:40.920,0:32:50.920
figure is it a magical effect or spell
it's a magical effect I have advantage on
0:32:50.920,0:32:58.000
those roll again see if you can improve
on an 18 probably not yeah yeah no he
0:32:58.000,0:33:09.400
in you feel a strange sensation this is not the
first time you have scried um and normally when
0:33:09.400,0:33:15.520
you do so your the sensations of your own
body kind of fade away and disappear but you
0:33:15.520,0:33:24.000
feel an odd sense like the hair on the back of
your neck pricking up you almost instinctively
0:33:24.000,0:33:31.560
try and turn around but you can't because the
sense is very much like something is staring at
0:33:31.560,0:33:41.120
you just on the corner of your
vision on the SK you almost feel
0:33:41.120,0:33:46.920
as if you can [Music] see
something like an like an
0:33:46.920,0:33:57.560
eye but you can't move the sensor as soon
as you try and try it's gone moment later
0:33:57.560,0:34:02.520
you feel as if something you get the same
Sensation from above you from down and to the
0:34:02.520,0:34:11.840
left B probably like shuts it down the cry down
after he feels a few of those you're not going
0:34:11.840,0:34:17.760
to try and interact the last thing blaz would
do is see if it can like at all recognize if
0:34:17.760,0:34:23.880
the stonework is Dwarven at all or if it's just
in just stone work to him or if he can like see
0:34:23.880,0:34:31.080
some Dwarven things okay yeah that's that's
clever make a history check for me please
0:34:31.080,0:34:48.160
history 17 17 um okay uh with the 17 um
natural one a natural one for a 17 yeah
0:34:48.160,0:34:56.880
his his end skills are ridiculous um two of them
it's pretty impressive what he has created um you
0:34:58.560,0:35:08.400
uh as as the scry Fades you just cap capture
a glimpse it's interesting this chamber like
0:35:08.400,0:35:13.720
it just appears to be rough HED Stone but
just at one corner you can see what looks
0:35:13.720,0:35:18.800
like might be the entrance of the chamber and
there is a door frame there and around that
0:35:18.800,0:35:27.880
frame you can see a couple of runes carved into
it um that do appear to be Dela in nature yeah
0:35:27.880,0:35:39.480
awesome awesome uh as Blaze kind of opened his
eyes to the group he uh tells them what he noticed
0:35:39.480,0:35:44.960
well also kind of closing his eye and rubbing his
nose it's like been good to know I have a warning
0:35:44.960,0:35:53.920
that it was a being that was holding her and not
a group of people I feel kind of Grimace When
0:35:53.920,0:36:01.680
you mention the we did tell you about the you all
thought we were crazy as he as he describes this
0:36:01.680,0:36:09.680
the place with gous not today yes it is um Blaze
does say um there was Dwarven architecture that I
0:36:09.680,0:36:18.720
did notice um didn't get a good enough look to see
if it was saw her yeah she okay she seems healthy
0:36:18.720,0:36:23.360
but she does seem dirty and a prisoner but she's
not chained up she just seems to be in a prison
0:36:23.360,0:36:37.400
cell well she she's always asleep so well
she asleep I don't think she sleep walks
0:36:37.400,0:36:47.000
um I don't think you got the sense
she was asleep no yeah she was kind
0:36:47.000,0:36:51.600
of huddled up but uh she didn't look
like she was asleep she looked like
0:36:51.600,0:36:58.080
she was terrified she I'm Fair sure I saw
her eyes open she looked kind of terrified
0:36:58.080,0:37:06.160
sleep Gus have that's from the desion
would Gus know where where she's being
0:37:06.160,0:37:16.280
kept a stone chamber with a couple of Delver
runes I mean it's not really specific could be
0:37:16.280,0:37:25.440
any safe hold but we we did see the r when when
we were seeing her we saw the Rune of karak like
0:37:25.440,0:37:31.720
it was kandak that was the word that we got
and they've just confirmed they in a Dwarven
0:37:31.720,0:37:40.000
place I think it's pretty obvious um BL kind
ofs up saying probably but beings especially
0:37:40.000,0:37:49.880
but even some powerful people can confuse
divinations and purposefully put in wrong
0:37:49.880,0:37:56.600
messages if they are skillful enough surely
they couldn't confuse such a renowned and
0:37:57.240,0:38:06.480
experience divid Blaze starts to
look real uncomfortable as you're
0:38:06.480,0:38:10.760
trying to butter him up and then just
kind of rubs his forehead after you
0:38:10.760,0:38:21.240
stoping as everyone's speaking I'm just gonna
do a little detect magic and see if there any
0:38:21.240,0:38:30.360
traces of um like anything lingering about
blade after the um what do I want to have
0:38:30.360,0:38:43.000
for my third eye is your Watcher out uh The
Entity yeah uh it is yes so if they try to
0:38:43.000,0:38:56.520
rry on us we'll know right uh oh I know anyway
I can I can see invisible uh objects um quick
0:38:56.520,0:39:02.800
add a character question for serenity M does
sopia see into the Ethereal plane as well or
0:39:02.800,0:39:07.560
does she have to do something for that okay she
just she always sees invisible objects in the
0:39:07.560,0:39:14.400
Ethereal plane out to 120 ft in that case I w't
put ethereal plane or invisible things as my third
0:39:14.400,0:39:19.720
eye BL
0:39:19.720,0:39:26.440
yes uh actually actually um hang on
0:39:28.800,0:39:36.240
just need to look something up Talk
Amongst yourselves uh oh right was
0:39:36.240,0:39:40.760
there anything on the detect uh
not thoughts magic uh the other
0:39:40.760,0:39:50.120
one um when I looked at Blaze any the
[ __ ] does that effect oh my god um
0:39:50.120,0:39:56.400
awes um
0:40:00.680,0:40:03.840
as you glance around sopia
0:40:03.840,0:40:20.600
um about 20 ft behind Blaze and 10 ft up kind
of back from his right shoulder you see this
0:40:20.600,0:40:30.360
almost imperceptible scintillating uh glowing
orb of divination I'd be able to see it even
0:40:30.360,0:40:38.440
without detect magic actually correct before
before you even cast the detect magic I am
0:40:38.440,0:40:47.960
being that uh you keep going but uh as as soon as
0:40:47.960,0:40:52.840
I see that I am going to hit
it with a fifth level dispel
0:40:52.840,0:40:56.320
Magic
0:40:58.160,0:41:03.840
okay access denied yeah sop sopia's got a
0:41:03.840,0:41:19.040
VPN um all right in that case in that
case as you do so Blaze probably thinks
0:41:19.040,0:41:29.200
you don't get countered very often as I
finally as I finally um get my stuff back
0:41:29.200,0:41:38.440
up um that's what I wanted just need a stab block
0:41:38.440,0:41:43.200
um remind me
0:41:43.200,0:41:48.800
please dispel
0:41:48.800,0:41:56.240
magic if it's higher I what level was higher than
0:41:59.800,0:42:09.560
so the source The Source uh the source
of this was a fifth level spell slot I
0:42:09.560,0:42:14.720
it me that means it's automatic I will double
check just double check for me I haven't used
0:42:14.720,0:42:22.080
the spell a lot spell if the spell is equal to
or less than so yeah it would be automatic in
0:42:22.080,0:42:26.800
this case Okay so the rest of you actually
I've never seen you cast a spell magic the
0:42:26.800,0:42:31.520
rest of you watches sfia suddenly kind of
fixes her vision a little bit behind Blaze
0:42:31.520,0:42:37.040
on something that I don't think the rest of you
can see tell me what happens next sfia you have
0:42:37.040,0:42:42.320
seen this many times in fact um she pulls out
a little and I'm casting this from The Ring of
0:42:42.320,0:42:49.640
spell storing actually so slight different
yep uh she kind of raises her hand and the
0:42:49.640,0:42:57.840
one of the Rings uh kind of glows slightly
and out from it comes uh this sort of Inky
0:42:57.840,0:43:05.640
black liquid that kind of undulates around her
fingers for a moment before shooting out and
0:43:05.640,0:43:12.960
kind of expanding to catch in the air and kind
of wrap around almost an invisible spherical
0:43:12.960,0:43:19.520
shape for kind of just collapsing in on itself
as though absorbing whatever was there along with
0:43:19.520,0:43:34.440
itself God you made me ink that that was
someone counters scrying apparently as the
0:43:34.440,0:43:39.680
ink as the ink kind of Falls as the spell
ends the ink Falls and kind of splatters
0:43:39.680,0:43:44.160
in the snow and you see the spots where it
falls kind of steams the snow melts from
0:43:44.160,0:43:52.560
it and then the ink Fades into nothing those
dark patches disappear um Sophia you hear a
0:43:52.560,0:44:02.880
voice uh I I actually you hear
many voices oh that's right you
0:44:02.880,0:44:10.280
feel you feel something probing
at your mental defenses nope not
0:44:10.280,0:44:17.000
letting it in okay maybe we should
get moving no no no solicitors no
0:44:17.000,0:44:28.560
Hawkers FaZe looks around Spooks
what was that someone watching
0:44:28.560,0:44:38.200
us back see much I hope she'll turn
FaZe will turn and fix you with a gaze
0:44:38.200,0:44:45.480
Blaze she'll say you need to be more
careful you could have warned me it was a
0:44:45.480,0:44:55.040
being hey ask safely don't look at me I don't
deal with all the she waves the fingers stuff
0:44:55.040,0:45:02.080
I Tred to avoid her as well she looks
you up and down she looks at a little
0:45:02.080,0:45:07.360
Clockwork Dragon that's currently dancing
circles around your feet in the snow Fu she
0:45:07.360,0:45:18.560
looks at the robes she goes that seems very
unlikely Arcane oculate similar different
0:45:18.560,0:45:27.760
thing I think you're right skull if
West turn skull's already walking
0:45:27.760,0:45:35.160
away at this point he's like 30 40 m
away walking West come on there some
0:45:35.160,0:45:46.080
tracks enough for you to catch up let's move
as you walk FaZe looks down um looks down at
0:45:46.080,0:45:50.760
Max at the little Clockwork Dragon that's kind
of he's doing that thing that little animals do
0:45:50.760,0:45:54.800
in really deep snow where they kind of Wiggle
forward for a bit and then leap to get over
0:45:54.800,0:46:01.400
a bit and then Wiggles forward a bit B then
leaps over again just say does he does he eat
0:46:01.400,0:46:09.800
anything can doesn't need to and eventually
it'll come out the same he doesn't digest
0:46:09.800,0:46:19.360
anything The Entity just like floats up
right next to faze and fixes a single
0:46:19.360,0:46:25.800
giant eye on her he also doesn't get
tired so he does this when he's bored
0:46:28.200,0:46:37.160
and when we're in snar which is not normal FaZe is
going to gaze back at the entity and say I'm just
0:46:37.160,0:46:41.520
asking and you hear
0:46:41.520,0:46:55.280
a a little bit of iore drips down accusingly
and then it drifts back over to Sophia so the
0:46:55.280,0:47:01.320
direction you are headed is West now that
I have Foundry open let me pull up the
0:47:01.320,0:47:25.320
map so you are here and you want to head for
candar now by my measurements oops that is not
0:47:25.320,0:47:32.040
what I meant to do that is not the right tool
for the job this is the right tool for the job
0:47:32.040,0:47:36.760
everybody's responsibility now the next time I try
and select an icon is to remind me that I have the
0:47:36.760,0:47:48.440
measuring tool on 125 is miles is that through the
snow [ __ ] hell through the mountains through the
0:47:48.440,0:47:58.720
mountains questioners I assume not but I thought
I'd ask before I offered to use my highest level
0:47:58.720,0:48:05.960
spell mhm would cond have a teleportation Circle
and would have Blaze gotten access to it while he
0:48:05.960,0:48:11.680
was there to the best of your knowledge it does
not have a teleportation Circle if it does they
0:48:11.680,0:48:18.280
certainly didn't volunteer that information to
you I thought I just ask roughly how long how
0:48:18.280,0:48:25.800
long of a uh travel time would be from us to
cond if we're just walking I re like like 120
0:48:25.800,0:48:31.520
miles through snow and mountains it' be 10 miles
a day yeah you would be slow the [ __ ] down is
0:48:31.520,0:48:41.000
my it be five five days as the crow flies I think
five five days is the crow flies at standard Pace
0:48:41.000,0:48:48.200
at slow pace you're looking at seven and that's
without complications and then that's also us not
0:48:48.200,0:48:54.240
going up mountains down mountains and through snow
which is like at least knee high well dead by the
0:48:54.240,0:49:01.560
time we get there 18 180 m a day is your slow
travel Pace I mean there's going to be a skill
0:49:01.560,0:49:06.000
challenge here and that's going to determine
whether you kind of keep to that or whether
0:49:06.000,0:49:12.440
you do less what sort of time are these carry
alls making with us or we lost them in the in
0:49:12.440,0:49:17.560
the thing didn't we no you still have you still
have you still have the carry with you okay are
0:49:17.560,0:49:22.520
they making good time in this sort of they they
seem to be able to travel relatively capably
0:49:22.520,0:49:27.520
they Pro you don't get the impression they'd be
able to move any faster than you could but they
0:49:27.520,0:49:36.640
are keeping up they're not SL no they're not at
the worst a weak travel of what I'm getting at
0:49:36.640,0:49:44.360
the worst we will fall off a mountain and die but
gous could we like get some snow dogs and can go
0:49:44.360,0:49:56.320
sleding I mean possible maybe
like a snow be here snow be here I
0:49:56.320,0:50:05.080
have if anyone's looking at Blaze they're
looking at him very he looks like he's just
0:50:05.080,0:50:13.000
contemplating something and he pipes
up I might be able to get us to C like
0:50:13.000,0:50:23.680
now that have been doing for the last three guys
well you guys wouldn't want to didn't want to go
0:50:23.680,0:50:30.480
there and I wasn't here for two of those days you
literally meant to recap cuz it's been a while you
0:50:30.480,0:50:42.200
literally met Blaze yesterday I already don't
like [Laughter] him that's one strike say that
0:50:42.200,0:50:51.200
she has two mastiffs with with no isolation
um Blaze pulls out like a little like tourist
0:50:51.200,0:50:57.680
thing he got when he was in cond it's like I
could teleport us all there what are the odds
0:50:57.680,0:51:04.560
of us going somewhere completely different
and being nowhere near it SC associ object
0:51:04.560,0:51:13.780
no chance SC scope Pats absolutely nothing in the
air and he says to to the nothing next [Laughter]
0:51:13.780,0:51:25.080
time it is explained in my backstory that he
collects [ __ ] when he travels so that is a
0:51:25.080,0:51:33.640
have a cond Associated object that is a
that is a wise flaw for somebody would
0:51:33.640,0:51:39.400
teleport to have he he he travels all
the time and when he wants to go back
0:51:39.400,0:51:46.760
to somewhere he has Associated objects on a
Shelf at his Tower I mean I doubt we could
0:51:46.760,0:51:51.240
teleport directly in there because it's no but
like teleport like a few minutes away from the
0:51:51.240,0:52:00.560
gate I mean I think it's like a one Kil maybe
which should be way closer than where we are
0:52:00.560,0:52:07.160
now hang on hang on hang on I didn't hit either
of you KN you go first uh I said c has Maes too
0:52:07.160,0:52:12.360
you know to stop people just appearing inside the
city yeah that's why I would do like just outside
0:52:12.360,0:52:24.040
cond sure let's do it like it' be a few minutes
walk until we actually entered like do we need
0:52:24.040,0:52:31.280
like hold hands sing kumay or something I
don't think so I'm going to cast spending my
0:52:31.280,0:52:43.520
mother dinner oh wow damn was not ready for
this okay um all righty the damn forgot you
0:52:43.520,0:52:52.080
even [ __ ] had sending um cool cool okay um she
doesn't need to respond she's just getting here
0:52:52.080,0:53:05.080
yep I'm coming home bringing some friends but
far no that's angry H there's a moment's pause
0:53:05.080,0:53:15.960
and then you hear a gemas is is that you I was
not expecting you home so soon do you have any
0:53:15.960,0:53:26.040
news and then it cuts off not going to cast
another spell should turn up so Blaze kind
0:53:26.040,0:53:32.560
of like I assume would have already been at
the back of the group so within what is this
0:53:32.560,0:53:38.520
like within an instant almost everyone's walking
along and then you're like seeing a mountain in
0:53:38.520,0:53:44.240
front of you actually I'm not willing I'd
like to get left behind the snow and die
0:53:44.240,0:53:54.480
sure so is anybody to be fair Gus is really not
I don't know if she would be willing like she
0:53:54.480,0:53:58.600
knows she has to but like Blaze would wait for
everyone to say like yeah we're ready to go but
0:53:58.600,0:54:04.840
like there's a lot of unwillingness in that I'm
just scrolling down all of these battle maps to
0:54:04.840,0:54:14.200
find the cter ones that you are skipping I even
straight over the getting ready for this session
0:54:14.200,0:54:20.920
that one of the only spells Blaze will always
have prepared is teleport this is this is a DM rer
0:54:20.920,0:54:26.400
passage and it happens to everybody and it's my
turn for it to happen to me it's all right that's
0:54:26.400,0:54:32.400
okay he prefers to use I'm run I'm gonna run every
[ __ ] one of these as a one shot if you don't
0:54:32.400,0:54:39.280
visit them that is what's happening um so so so in
the meantime we've got this Wormhole effect that I
0:54:39.280,0:54:45.320
just posted this is where we are while we find
the map as you do I roll or is it just because
0:54:45.320,0:54:50.360
it's a 01 to 100 because of associated object it
just happens yeah it doesn't matter you can't you
0:54:50.360,0:54:55.880
can't roll outside of Ian you roll roll a D100
and if you roll anything outside of to 100 let
0:54:55.880,0:55:04.080
me know um yeah sure because because that's going
to be an impressive mishap would we end up at the
0:55:04.080,0:55:15.400
end of the universe um so as you are kind of all
walking along kind of in in a line yeah everyone
0:55:15.400,0:55:21.040
like right let let's do this and then he would
like you just you just watch as one by one just
0:55:21.040,0:55:28.960
little shars of light describe yeah go for it go
for it everyone kind of like nods their head or
0:55:28.960,0:55:36.440
in Gem's case I'm imagining she just kind of like
sigh defeatedly um within an instant if anyone's
0:55:36.440,0:55:42.160
looking back he like swipes his hands in a circle
and then we're in front of a mountain it was like
0:55:42.160,0:55:50.120
one instant where there the other isant there's a
massive mountain in front of us no sound no lights
0:55:50.120,0:55:59.880
just and you're there is that the right Mountain
looks like it I was only here sorry I need to I
0:55:59.880,0:56:07.560
need to do what I always have to do uh sopia's
been subjected to a teleportation effect he does
0:56:07.560,0:56:16.120
throw up okay do do we need to make um dexterity
saves nope actually sorry sorry I rolled I rolled
0:56:16.120,0:56:23.360
dexterity rather than Constitution sorry let me
well the correct saving for her uh she almost
0:56:23.360,0:56:30.000
throws up but manages to hold it down see one
instant we're in the snow in the mountains the
0:56:30.000,0:56:37.040
next we're just in front of cond like question
mark D for anyone else oh that was just me rolling
0:56:37.040,0:56:50.000
something oh I don't see those just just as gous
SE about to throw up go over her face like a mage
0:56:50.000,0:56:54.880
hand bur out the
0:56:57.880,0:56:59.680
Ralph
0:56:59.680,0:57:16.880
Ralph Sophia is visiting your friends Ralph and
Bert no narrowly avoid throwing is is that I mean
0:57:16.880,0:57:21.920
you know this place right is that is that kind
Blaze kind of sigh the Fe they hav had to use
0:57:21.920,0:57:28.960
teleport and puts the uh tus item back into his
pouches as your vision kind of clears and you you
0:57:28.960,0:57:41.040
find your footing here um you I imagine we're like
maybe five minutes walk from the entrance you are
0:57:41.040,0:57:50.480
I'm going to say you're a bit further than that
um you has your five ble maps in that last yeah
0:57:50.480,0:58:00.360
exactly I'm so [ __ ] tempted to do that um you
gous you would realize that you are probably a
0:58:00.360,0:58:12.560
bit less than a day from the the kind of main
gates of kandra you you come to rest on a um
0:58:12.560,0:58:20.560
kind of this broad Plateau behind you there is
this extensive Alpine Forest that runs up kind
0:58:20.560,0:58:27.440
of slopes up the the side of a valley behind
you and you are looking down a gently sloping
0:58:27.440,0:58:37.520
Valley in the Foothills uh towards an immense
Cliff that drives up kind of the escarment of
0:58:37.520,0:58:45.640
Another Mountain gous you would know that
following this River um will take you to uh
0:58:45.640,0:58:54.440
to the tunnel that leads to the gates of kandak
itself I'm so sad I didn't get to use my mffs
0:58:54.440,0:59:01.960
well day is it under uh at this time it's still
morning quite relatively early morning maybe an
0:59:01.960,0:59:08.240
hour and a half after Sunrise em is just trying to
put it off like she was going to if it was later
0:59:08.240,0:59:12.000
in the day she would have gone I we should
Camp here because it's a long Tri but if not
0:59:12.000,0:59:20.760
he's it's just got head down and it's just a it is
0:59:20.760,0:59:27.400
clear that that she is that that Gus
is not feeling happy about being here
0:59:27.400,0:59:37.440
yeah uh she'll just go it's it's this
way if we're lucky we'll be there before
0:59:37.440,0:59:43.240
nightfall we need to Camp
0:59:43.240,0:59:47.680
okay
0:59:47.680,1:00:01.840
um can we like give you a disguise or something
starts picking up bits of like branches and things
1:00:01.840,1:00:11.240
oh no it's me that's okay we just uh didn't break
on the best of terms it's always nice coming home
1:00:11.240,1:00:25.560
but no they away I yeah actually I need to talk
to talk to the DM about what's going on I will
1:00:25.560,1:00:33.240
send you some messages sure scope starts humming
on the way there the funniest part the funniest
1:00:33.240,1:00:44.120
part of this is that not only have I not entirely
prepared kandra neither has [Laughter] Nar and
1:00:44.120,1:00:50.120
it's his backstory I feel like you guys have
had a long time since the last session there
1:00:50.120,1:00:55.400
a couple of discussions about what was what was
going on and we've got some broad Strokes [ __ ]
1:00:55.400,1:01:01.040
it we'll do it live if you really didn't want me
to teleport we can rewind time and Blaze didn't
1:01:01.040,1:01:09.360
offer it nope NOP no no no if you don't offer
I will we're here're here this is where tation
1:01:09.360,1:01:18.360
for like running away this is where this is where
you [ __ ] wanted to be and now we're here so I'm
1:01:18.360,1:01:24.680
pretty sure that message was meant to be a private
message to schmers and it was not just delete that
1:01:24.680,1:01:34.120
that that you can send it to me you can send it
to me on Discord if you want you I always use
1:01:34.120,1:01:40.000
Discord because I'm terrified he keeps it there
so it's easy for them to reference this chat
1:01:40.000,1:01:49.920
Scrolls fast when we're doing [ __ ] gemus begins
trudging um trudging towards uh towards Cur um and
1:01:49.920,1:01:56.280
you all follow kind of following this Meandering
River it's quite a a wide river in fact it's wide
1:01:56.280,1:02:02.760
enough um that where a lot of the smaller Rivers
you've crossed have been almost entirely Frozen
1:02:02.760,1:02:11.760
um there's kind of a central channel in this one
that hasn't quite frozen over yet [Music] um you
1:02:11.760,1:02:24.360
uh the weather uh the weather is surprisingly
um good outside is prideful fire delightful
1:02:25.560,1:02:29.520
um just
1:02:29.520,1:02:38.200
replying it's weird that KN only seems to sound
muffled to me when M I hear like sound it sounds
1:02:38.200,1:02:42.920
like KN has my tripples it to be for me
I think just at the start when he starts
1:02:42.920,1:02:46.640
speak I don't know if he like the Noise
Gate in his mic's a little bit aggressive
1:02:46.640,1:02:52.960
um as you as you continue along the weather
is surprising uh surprisingly good there are
1:02:52.960,1:02:57.720
times where the Sun is bright enough that you
almost feel your eyes stinging with a degree
1:02:57.720,1:03:07.240
of snow blindness but as you kind of move
closer to um to C itself uh the tree line
1:03:07.240,1:03:14.440
kind of gets squeezed in towards the the river
and provides a little bit of contrast um that
1:03:14.440,1:03:20.840
smell of pine sap is occasionally being
blown in um as the wind changes Direction
1:03:20.840,1:03:33.880
um I mean maybe KN maybe those things are
connected um as you as you make your way
1:03:33.880,1:03:40.320
along for the first time in some time traveling
through uh the mountains you find yourself you
1:03:40.320,1:03:48.880
can see other sides of life um probably
a good um few hundred yards ahead you can
1:03:48.880,1:03:56.920
see uh you can see a cart being drawn uh by a
number of very Stout ponies like they're well
1:03:56.920,1:04:02.520
adapted to these snowy conditions um did
that car teleport with us or did we just
1:04:02.520,1:04:06.160
leave behind I'm going to say the car all
teleported with you it probably knows to
1:04:06.160,1:04:12.280
go home if not I probably would had to tell it
to like okay go home we'll say it came with you
1:04:12.280,1:04:28.520
um this area around KRA um at one stage you
pass through a small uh relatively small village
1:04:28.520,1:04:43.560
um few people pop out watching you as you
make your way past um I wave as the day
1:04:43.560,1:04:51.280
draws towards its end and you approach
the end of your journey this kind of this
1:04:51.280,1:04:58.000
vast Cliff face getting closer and closer
here in the north the days are short so
1:04:58.000,1:05:08.120
um you find yourselves passing through another
1:05:08.120,1:05:22.120
Village uh bear with me one moment you
trying to find a combat map really combat
1:05:22.120,1:05:30.360
map just a map whether there combat
or not it's largely up to you it's
1:05:30.360,1:05:36.120
a social map uh this is not the bunch
of characters that I thought would be
1:05:36.120,1:05:48.000
present so let's fix that out oh God no
I mean it could be not impossible not
1:05:48.000,1:05:56.880
anymore let's just put you all on the map
1:05:56.880,1:06:15.560
fresh SC your passive inight deception
of birth like a bajillion right I don't
1:06:15.560,1:06:19.920
okay I'm DM your thing it's not relevant right now
1:06:19.920,1:06:27.240
but it's something he may have picked
up on oh my God why glaring at an old
1:06:27.240,1:06:36.920
man no it is just relevant to the man
thing though but yeah apparently I don't
1:06:36.920,1:06:42.840
have a turken with vision in this you
don't yet but you will momentarily just
1:06:42.840,1:06:54.000
skull things are happening with unknown figures
1:06:56.400,1:07:06.120
um okay I SC up to the front because you probably
be in the front probably be at the back just
1:07:06.120,1:07:14.480
because I changed the file structure a little bit
hang on let me fix this up some of these things
1:07:14.480,1:07:28.160
don't have a token so I will describe to you as
I fix that up what you see As you move through
1:07:28.160,1:07:36.760
uh as you get closer to the main gates of Cur the
number of settlements begin to grow more frequent
1:07:36.760,1:07:45.880
um as you pass through this small
village you see see a number of buildings
1:07:45.880,1:07:53.920
um many of which appear to
be in a state of disrepair
1:07:55.200,1:08:02.560
um to the South you can see um some that have
been kind of ruined completely and don't appear
1:08:02.560,1:08:07.040
to ever been rebuilt although you can see
Signs of Life there it looks like people
1:08:07.040,1:08:15.920
are throwing up tents or makeshift shelters
um ahead of you there is a wagon and on that
1:08:15.920,1:08:23.880
wagon there are um you can see a number
of delvers riding it armed and armored um
1:08:23.880,1:08:30.520
Merchants perhaps or Traders um you hear
the jingle of horse tack um as the horse
1:08:30.520,1:08:36.400
pulls them along what has now as you move
through these settlements become uh a paved
1:08:36.400,1:08:46.040
Road could this like Carriage of dwarves also
possibly be like a highway patrol equivalent of
1:08:46.040,1:08:59.960
dwarves make an inside check as as we get closer
to CER uh and sort of society starts going up gous
1:08:59.960,1:09:10.360
sort of come out of her fun standing up head comes
up the hood goes back and she he fully there now
1:09:10.360,1:09:18.920
she wants she needs people to see her Jam says
is this normal that t bin all run down and and
1:09:18.920,1:09:25.680
disrepair like this very good question skull it's
been a while have been home let me let me think
1:09:25.680,1:09:31.920
about that while the DM messes dungeon master
I could also suest ask the DM hey DM was this
1:09:31.920,1:09:43.080
town like this when I left okay so the answers
to that are um that uh so um Blaze first yes
1:09:43.080,1:09:51.280
it was okay um like yeah the town was like this
when I left like a week ago gous um yeah there
1:09:51.280,1:09:58.880
are parts of there are parts of of C that aren't
necessarily you know in on the enclaves around it
1:09:58.880,1:10:04.680
rather than C proper that aren't necessarily
in good repair um this Village in particular
1:10:04.680,1:10:10.720
you can tell you can tell from the construction
the size of the houses this is a Nish Village
1:10:10.720,1:10:20.840
and [Music] um in a lot of Dela communities
gnomes are kind of second class citizens not
1:10:20.840,1:10:29.160
necess kind of frowned upon um and at one stage as
this card of delver's um makes its way forward you
1:10:29.160,1:10:43.280
see um you see a little Nish figure pop out to
um kind of look at them passing um can I catch
1:10:43.280,1:10:49.560
up to this group ahead calling out to them so
they don't think I'm running to attack them uh
1:10:49.560,1:11:03.840
you can as you move to catch up with them um um
you the a bolt bonus action Dash um you see this
1:11:03.840,1:11:12.240
kind of this little Nish uh looks like a Nish
woman kind of step out and just look at the
1:11:12.240,1:11:20.640
cart as it goes past and you scull with your
passive perception you see you see the driver
1:11:20.640,1:11:26.960
rumaging around like one hand on the traces of
the horse the other hand is rumaging around in
1:11:26.960,1:11:36.720
a pocket and you see it just emerging with what
looks like a rock but oh hey hey friends just a
1:11:36.720,1:11:47.200
word if if I may uh at the sound of your voice
this Nish woman darts back behind the ruins and
1:11:47.200,1:11:57.680
disappears um and the cart the the driver
kind of pulls back on the the tracers and
1:11:57.680,1:12:07.400
um and slows the car to a ho does any one of
these seem to be sort of look like they're in
1:12:07.400,1:12:14.840
charge uh is like deferring to anyone or
looking to anyone for there's one there's
1:12:14.840,1:12:21.120
one that looks maybe a little bit older um
slightly better armor um this uh this one
1:12:21.120,1:12:26.480
right here which one has the longest beard
uh uh this one right here has the longest
1:12:26.480,1:12:33.360
beard you can see he's got a fairly Wicked
looking um hammer by his side um his feet
1:12:33.360,1:12:42.680
are kind of set up on the a bunch of of crates
and boxes um this very much looks like a trading
1:12:42.680,1:12:48.320
contingent and this particular Dela turns to
look at you and looks down at you for a moment
1:12:48.320,1:12:56.320
says what's your business then oh
friend we we've been traveling for
1:12:56.320,1:13:02.720
for a while and we uh we're just uh
wondering if you heard any news or
1:13:02.720,1:13:09.560
uh things seem a little dire out here right
1:13:09.560,1:13:17.920
now is everything okay things
always seem dire around
1:13:17.920,1:13:34.040
here too many Vermin running around what
kind of verman oh you know rats rats dogs
1:13:34.040,1:13:42.320
all sorts really looks around for a minute then
looks back at you so what brings you to cak
1:13:42.320,1:13:51.600
then oh uh we were meeting up with
some friends there um I look back
1:13:51.600,1:13:55.000
to to the group um and gemus with her head held
1:13:55.000,1:14:00.120
high uh he turns to look at
1:14:00.120,1:14:11.960
gemus does he recognize gous isimportant
enough I don't think he does at this point
1:14:11.960,1:14:20.640
okay glances back at Gus coming along glances
back at Gus seeing gemus traveling with you
1:14:20.640,1:14:30.560
though he he's his to you does seem to lighten
up a little oh I have a Dela friend I must be
1:14:30.560,1:14:38.680
okay then and he considering having sfia be
a double when he turned around there a whole
1:14:38.680,1:14:44.480
bunch of them they must be cool um a rough
place around here around here skull it's
1:14:44.480,1:14:52.560
you know Mountain Community sometimes it gets
pretty harsh up here as you ask um as you ask
1:14:52.560,1:14:57.080
him whether they're coming you're going kind of
looks at you quizzically for a moment and then
1:14:57.080,1:15:03.800
points to the west and says counteracts that way
that's where we're going now that we're close can
1:15:03.800,1:15:08.880
I see in the card is it just like a troop card
or is there anything in it yeah going back to
1:15:08.880,1:15:14.160
was my insight which was a 17 is this like so
for a 17 you definitely get the this is these
1:15:14.160,1:15:19.200
are traitors they're not well enough armed and
armored there they're too they're too mismatched
1:15:19.200,1:15:25.440
in the gear that they're carrying um you can see
see one of them at least one of them has like a
1:15:25.440,1:15:30.080
gold tooth you spot a couple you spot a ring
with a gemstone in it on another one's finger
1:15:30.080,1:15:36.240
the these aren't soldiers um but they are armed
they do look like they could handle themselves um
1:15:36.240,1:15:41.760
normal for Del skull are you tell me are you
actively searching the card or are you just
1:15:41.760,1:15:47.120
trying to glance not active glancing just just
glancing then just make a perception check for me
1:15:47.120,1:15:53.200
please
1:15:55.520,1:15:59.480
are they moving or have they stopped to
talk they have stopped to talk to you
1:15:59.480,1:16:12.560
okay 18 or 18 30 30 um you can see uh you can see
there are sacks there are chests um the inside of
1:16:12.560,1:16:19.760
this cart is uh is uh quite full the kind of
Base Boards of the car are full up enough that
1:16:19.760,1:16:24.320
sitting on the seats at the edges all of these
occupants actually have to have their feet up
1:16:24.320,1:16:30.920
on stuff that it is carrying uh for a 30 for a
30 you you you catch a glimpse of some of the
1:16:30.920,1:16:36.600
stuff that they're carrying as well um you can see
sacks of what look like they might be green uh you
1:16:36.600,1:16:44.680
can see boxes with markings on them that suggests
that they uh that they may be carrying um uh food
1:16:44.680,1:16:56.280
stuffs you can see a couple of bundles of lumber
um you uh and hin hidden kind of tucked right at
1:16:56.280,1:17:08.120
the back under one of the bench seats you can see
a uh like a leather satchel um that looks as if
1:17:08.120,1:17:16.600
it might be bulging with coin if I was a rogue
you know some sort of scoundrel I might act on
1:17:16.600,1:17:27.720
that well H thank you friends thank you uh for
stopping please let let me keep you no more very
1:17:27.720,1:17:35.520
well you should stay safe the roads out here
are not always not always safe after dark good
1:17:35.520,1:17:41.320
to know good to know you too you too be safe he
turns around without another word and kind of
1:17:41.320,1:17:49.840
snaps the traces against the back of the of the
horse yeah now about the money I do nothing sure
1:17:49.840,1:17:56.000
because I am not a broke I know I know that's fine
you do whatever you want with it I'm totally not
1:17:56.000,1:17:59.520
tempted
1:17:59.520,1:18:07.280
broke uh oh okay I thought maybe when
I saw this place like maybe they'd been
1:18:07.280,1:18:15.000
attacked or something or do you mind if I
go talk to that gnome lass you've got the
1:18:15.000,1:18:19.320
time that it takes to walk up the road all
right I'm going to I'm going to move ahead
1:18:19.320,1:18:24.040
and move over to where I saw that gnome
lass and and check in on her okay as
1:18:24.040,1:18:28.520
youti what is your passive
1:18:28.520,1:18:35.320
perception it's pretty high
it's like 20 something okay
1:18:35.320,1:18:38.600
with Advantage if I'm moving at half rate okay
1:18:38.600,1:18:49.880
um because I'm not sure if I'm me2 I don't know
if this is the passive perception Plugin or if
1:18:49.880,1:18:59.280
it's just messing up but I can see like uh like
here and here like vibration Mark things that I'm
1:18:59.280,1:19:08.880
guessing are denoting creatures that I can sense
pass um I can see them too yeah me too yeah so
1:19:08.880,1:19:17.560
I'm presuming it's like passive I just thought
somebody was fting so you can you can hear um
1:19:17.560,1:19:22.040
as you walk past this tent you can you can hear
movement inside all right I just wanted to make
1:19:22.040,1:19:26.040
sure that it wasn't like the the plugin stuffing
up and that wasn't supposed to be visible cool no
1:19:26.040,1:19:34.840
I think I I don't think uh I I think you can
literally see that because the walls of that
1:19:34.840,1:19:45.120
tent are set to um not block sound um so uh you
make your way over skull and you can see um as
1:19:45.120,1:19:52.360
you make your way towards the ruins you can see
um you can see there's a campfire in the middle
1:19:52.360,1:19:58.320
making way you can see you can see a few different
figures kind of in here and they kind of jump up
1:19:58.320,1:20:04.280
and move away suspiciously as you approach friends
please wait wait friends just passing through hi
1:20:04.280,1:20:09.320
there please I'm sneaking up on you please well
I'm not sneaking I'm I'm like calling out to
1:20:09.320,1:20:17.000
them we don't want no trouble I I don't want any
trouble either I'm just passing through a just
1:20:17.000,1:20:22.160
wanted to talk we ain't got nothing for you to
take not not mean to take anything either just
1:20:22.160,1:20:29.640
just heal to to ask look first time up here just
just wanted to ask uh this where goes to to to
1:20:29.640,1:20:38.000
candak right yep big Cliff to the West I'm G I'm
going to hold off before I get too close because
1:20:38.000,1:20:43.520
I don't want to seem too th you kind understand
you kind of there's a waste height ruined wall
1:20:43.520,1:20:47.520
here this looks like it used to be a building
of some sort that collapsed and looking in you
1:20:47.520,1:20:51.120
can see there's a campfire set in the middle
there's a few crates dragged around you can
1:20:51.120,1:20:54.920
see they mostly look like they've been Pride
open you would imagine that they're probably
1:20:54.920,1:21:00.200
empty a few hay rotting hay bells that have kind
of been drawn up this looks like some sort of an
1:21:00.200,1:21:07.800
encampment from the sound of a is
there trouble in the area Bandits or
1:21:07.800,1:21:22.640
something don't really see many Bandits around
kind of there's always trouble around kak
1:21:24.760,1:21:25.920
what sort of trouble can I
1:21:25.920,1:21:31.920
expect well are you a
1:21:31.920,1:21:40.880
Dela I'm not well then it
sounds like you're going to
1:21:40.880,1:21:45.480
have some trouble the doers don't don't like non
1:21:45.480,1:21:52.640
doers I don't even think they like
delvas that AR from K to be honest
1:21:54.760,1:22:03.480
into what you say uh this this uh kind
of older looking um gnome sitting on
1:22:03.480,1:22:09.200
one of the wooden crates to the
South says too [ __ ] right they
1:22:09.200,1:22:18.400
don't that was a do who said that no no it was
another gnome everybody here looks like their
1:22:18.400,1:22:23.480
gnomes and you can see there's a wide array of
you know they all have those typical that that
1:22:23.480,1:22:29.160
kind of the Elfin features the long pointed
ears but there is a there's a wide range of
1:22:29.160,1:22:36.240
of textures of clothes that even though they
are dirty and stained and ragged you can see
1:22:36.240,1:22:45.120
that they used they were once colored um you know
there's hair is in pinks and blues um you can see
1:22:45.120,1:22:51.440
uh you can see one of them uh sitting on one
of the crates the hair almost looks like straw
1:22:51.440,1:22:57.760
like like like straw the actual animal food
kind of uh another one you can see elements
1:22:57.760,1:23:05.800
of of of his um arms uh have kind of bark wood
bark on them um oh when you say Like Straw you
1:23:05.800,1:23:14.160
mean like literal straw literal straw oh okay
um you can see that um you you can the one that
1:23:14.160,1:23:21.840
spoke up at the end you can see um he looks old
and withered and his face is quite pale um his
1:23:21.840,1:23:31.520
hair is this thin white that kind of drapes over
his shoulders um but all of these people are are
1:23:31.520,1:23:37.040
gnomes there are no there are no delvas here
just in in the distance you hear Gus walking
1:23:37.040,1:23:45.880
away she's saying follow the dirty Brick Road
follow the dirty brick [Laughter] road because
1:23:45.880,1:23:53.720
is it it's like normal for nms to be part plant
matter right like that's not unusual I would say
1:23:53.720,1:23:59.440
that g given the breadth of your knowledge you
would be aware that gnomes gnomes because of
1:23:59.440,1:24:05.640
their F Origins have a propensity for their
bodies to change and take on the things that
1:24:05.640,1:24:13.440
they are most interested or passionate about so a
gnome that works Lots with metal um you know their
1:24:13.440,1:24:20.440
pupils might become little cogs or you know they
might develop little pistons in their fingers um
1:24:20.440,1:24:27.480
things like that they think they must think I'm
a master smith gnome I mean they they potentially
1:24:27.480,1:24:34.840
do a gnome becomes sure a master smith and
there becomes an auto now yep they think I'm an
1:24:34.840,1:24:48.480
auto question a message back to Sophia do we have
a head thing up uh oh the Rory telepathic Bond
1:24:48.480,1:24:57.400
yes question it's like Rory but there's little
whispering in the back would she have offered
1:24:57.400,1:25:03.960
it to blaze as a good accept it I'm gonna
say she probably wouldn't have mentioned
1:25:03.960,1:25:09.520
it to playe yet yeah not after one day
having a way to talk about him without
1:25:09.520,1:25:15.200
him knowing appeals to her paranoia I think
that makes sense but it is up for anyone else
1:25:15.200,1:25:22.560
that wants it to Sophia in her head do you
have any questions or should we go catch or
1:25:22.560,1:25:25.800
so
1:25:25.800,1:25:37.640
H while you think of that can I Insight
these people and um do they seem like
1:25:37.640,1:25:41.760
uh like you said there's like a bunch
of crates and things broken open here
1:25:41.760,1:25:45.680
do they seem like they have stolen
this stuff or Bandits or something
1:25:45.680,1:25:52.280
or make an inside check do they do they
feel it's like thieves killed material
1:25:56.440,1:26:07.640
normal Ro because it is Insight that's a 27 it's
a 27 make a history check for me as well please Pi
1:26:07.640,1:26:13.640
uh well he's do that can I just ask did Blaze all
experience like he was not wanted in cond when he
1:26:13.640,1:26:19.280
was here for like the week or two he was here so
he was very private he basically got a ruby and
1:26:19.280,1:26:26.480
then locked himself in a room um so BL what you
would be aware of is that Outsiders inra never
1:26:26.480,1:26:33.560
ever almost never make it into the city proper
okay they make it as far as the auction house
1:26:33.560,1:26:41.640
okay so the area around the auction house is kind
of optimized for Outsiders right but after that it
1:26:41.640,1:26:46.800
is very rare for anybody other than a citizen
to get any further than that so you would get
1:26:46.800,1:26:53.280
the sense that they are not particularly they are
welcoming of visitors would degree who are going
1:26:53.280,1:27:01.960
to buy things yeah they're open you have gold
they're open to trade so in around the O house
1:27:01.960,1:27:12.720
y right gotcha via the telepathic link uh she'll
kind of reply not at the moment um but there
1:27:12.720,1:27:22.120
was something I could use her help with skul yes
history seven by the way cool so history of seven
1:27:24.200,1:27:25.120
tells you
1:27:25.120,1:27:38.480
that gnomes have not always been here
they turned up kind of many centuries
1:27:38.480,1:27:43.840
ago and ended up kind of integrating with
the delvis and you're vaguely aware that
1:27:43.840,1:27:49.320
there were issues there but you don't really
remember what those issues were um but they
1:27:49.320,1:27:56.680
are but you are aware that the relationship
between gnomes and delvas even though they
1:27:56.680,1:28:06.400
share cities and they share societies is
fraud um it is it is quite difficult um
1:28:06.400,1:28:16.120
and inside of 27 tells you that these gnomes
are not thieves but baby maybe except maybe by
1:28:16.120,1:28:24.920
necessity okay okay good to know um across
the link I I I responded how can I help to
1:28:24.920,1:28:34.240
sfia there's a pouch in one of my left Pockets
with 20 gold pieces in it skull was literally
1:28:34.240,1:28:37.960
getting gold out of his pocket as you said
that that's why he was making sure they wer
1:28:37.960,1:28:46.520
like bad people I need you to just take
it leave it here somewhere without anyone
1:28:46.520,1:28:53.520
noticing someone they'll find it but not till
we're gone all can I I try to do any of these
1:28:53.520,1:28:57.480
look like they haven't really been looked
through yet or like not completely like
1:28:57.480,1:29:01.680
this crate next to me does it seem like it's
only been opened recently and I scared them
1:29:01.680,1:29:06.160
off from finishing looking through it I'd
say with your passive perception you are
1:29:06.160,1:29:11.080
close enough to see now that you are in there
that every one of these crates has been looked
1:29:11.080,1:29:18.520
through and and it looks as if they are all
empty okay the they are they've been pulled
1:29:18.520,1:29:26.760
here for furniture okay very enough every one
of these gnomes is a university student they've
1:29:26.760,1:29:38.920
already one had ten they're just all First Years
okay um yep cinder blocks I get you yep yep
1:29:38.920,1:29:49.160
you believe someone was throwing this out to to
respond to to that request can I put pocket can
1:29:49.160,1:29:55.800
you put pocket sure make a slot of hand Check Yes
I will will like make it easy for him to like get
1:29:55.800,1:30:01.400
to that pocket by okay Pi pocket but then I want
to put pocket cuz I want to put it in the pocket
1:30:01.400,1:30:06.240
he wants to put it he wants to he wants to plan
it on one of them yes yeah yeah yeah that's that's
1:30:06.240,1:30:13.680
that's she's just going to make sure that he can
get the money off of her easily okay um okay I
1:30:13.680,1:30:22.200
will do that and my ruse for getting close is uh
I I say to Sophia after I have it um discreetly
1:30:22.200,1:30:30.600
mhm um I I sort of uh give you a mental no uh got
it and my R is going to be I'm going to give this
1:30:30.600,1:30:37.280
one one gold from my pocket with my hand M um but
my other hand is going to try and put pocket the
1:30:37.280,1:30:44.160
you know to put it in their pocket the the
actual you know bag of it okay sure make SL
1:30:44.160,1:30:51.840
hand so the r is this is why I'm approaching I've
got a go for her okay and I will make that check
1:31:03.000,1:31:09.560
that's a 26 um you are easily able to take
advantage of a moment of distraction during
1:31:09.560,1:31:14.760
the conversation and plant that gold on her
okay so I put I put one gold from mine uh into
1:31:14.760,1:31:20.960
her hand to say uh thank you for um answering
my questions please uh en en enjoy your day
1:31:20.960,1:31:24.920
and that's the dist CU you know there's the
distraction of they feel the sensation of my
1:31:24.920,1:31:30.640
hand on their hand that gets their attention and
they don't notice being slipped in their pocket
1:31:30.640,1:31:36.120
gently put gently put down so like the sudden
weight of it doesn't like bang yep the the bag
1:31:36.120,1:31:42.080
of money and um all right think thanks and we'll
head off her eyes widen as you put the gold in
1:31:42.080,1:31:47.400
her palm and you watch as she kind of she spins
it through her fingers really deafly and quickly
1:31:47.400,1:31:54.560
and then finishes it and puts it up to her mouth
and bites on it she's now got a gold finger H
1:31:54.560,1:31:58.920
she's losing it her one go she's about to have
the time wait as we're walking away we're just
1:31:58.920,1:32:07.720
going to hear a screams or something she turns
and she she turns and she passes it to um she
1:32:07.720,1:32:13.000
passes it to the to one of the nnes behind her
who also looks at it and kind of sniffs it also
1:32:13.000,1:32:19.440
bites it yeah I'm I'm just walking away slips
it in his pocket I've say goodbye I'm going uh
1:32:19.440,1:32:26.080
as you I notic I slip into the pocket as you as
you make your well she pass it to another one who
1:32:26.080,1:32:33.800
SLE as as you walk away you hear a voice calling
behind you that says something blessings be to you
1:32:33.800,1:32:42.600
stranger and to you friend and yeah we'll
try and catch up SC gets close Gus is going
1:32:42.600,1:32:47.080
to turn around and say hope you didn't
give it too much people will killer for
1:32:47.080,1:32:58.920
that I my original plan was to give them
enough gold for one for each of them how
1:32:58.920,1:33:05.960
many do you think there are on this map
well it's just the ones here that 21 now
1:33:05.960,1:33:13.800
21 yes 21 oh sorry you meant gmes not gold
pieces right um something that I'm not sure
1:33:13.800,1:33:18.960
if FaZe was what with either Sophia or skull
with me and gemus she would have stuck with
1:33:18.960,1:33:22.360
I think she would have stuck with sfia she
probably would have followed in that case
1:33:22.360,1:33:28.920
gous wasn't distracted by her own thought
processes she probably saw blae kind of
1:33:28.920,1:33:32.880
twitch like he did when he done a crying
spell as we've been walking along this
1:33:32.880,1:33:40.680
road as I as I come up behind Blaze do
I notice that he's crying you don't know
1:33:40.680,1:33:43.760
if he's crying all you know is
that's what he looks like when
1:33:43.760,1:33:47.480
he's seeing something okay well while
you're saying something I'm going to
1:33:47.480,1:33:58.320
blow in your ear he probably doesn't react
he's also much taller than [Laughter] you
1:33:58.320,1:34:02.320
elbow I I actually had a
1:34:02.320,1:34:12.040
read you got like a squirr you long long
STW okay here's my first question yes how
1:34:12.040,1:34:20.480
are you reaching his ear a read a very long
one okay a long read skull skull produces
1:34:20.480,1:34:25.960
this impossibly read from one sleeve
and just goes I've been saving it for
1:34:25.960,1:34:31.520
a prank um Blaze just keeps walking but
he's walking like he's on autopilot he's
1:34:31.520,1:34:39.720
not for just a split second he is not in this
world what's your um companion's name again
1:34:39.720,1:34:49.560
Max Max is BL okay uh this little Clockwork um
pseudo Dragon kind of gambles up to and kind
1:34:49.560,1:34:53.760
of uh sits back on its horn launches and looks
up at you for a minute and just [ __ ] its eyes
1:34:53.760,1:34:59.360
to one side and you can see I [ __ ] my head
to the side when he's looking at me you hear
1:34:59.360,1:35:07.080
this kind of sound and then you watches these
kind of stubby Little Wings spread out and it
1:35:07.080,1:35:12.720
kind of one flap two flap and leaps up and
kind of perches on Blaze shoulder and then a
1:35:12.720,1:35:18.440
moment later Blaze's eyes Focus again he's back
while he's still in the vision and Scot kind of
1:35:18.440,1:35:25.720
talking to familiar he will hear in his head what
do you seeing in sopia's voice projected directly
1:35:25.720,1:35:34.280
into his mind for him to reply mentally to the
record you're like going into his head you're
1:35:34.280,1:35:40.960
probably actually seeing the past and future of
this specific place no I was considering casting
1:35:40.960,1:35:48.680
detect thoughts but spell slots I skull has like
a manual to te thoughts where he just asks you so
1:35:48.680,1:35:55.640
what did you say as he comes back he does turn to
Sophia and very firmly but also pretty politely
1:35:55.640,1:36:04.520
it's like please don't and then also says the
past and possible future of this town I kind
1:36:04.520,1:36:12.600
of like it when she's in my thoughts it like
tickles a little I didn't give her permission
1:36:12.600,1:36:21.800
I see consent fair I'm seeing what has happened
and what might happen to this town so Blaze you
1:36:21.800,1:36:29.120
you momentarily looking over these ruins saw
uh you saw the kind of the images of them when
1:36:29.120,1:36:40.840
they're originally settlements um you you you
saw you saw gnomes and delvis I living here in
1:36:40.840,1:36:54.440
harmony um and as for the future you see the
landscape here blasted not a single building
1:36:54.440,1:37:08.480
standing just a single tree dead thrusting up into
a starless sky the but yeah going to explain a few
1:37:08.480,1:37:18.760
things as we walk through yeah um and she say
there there used to be we need to be careful
1:37:18.760,1:37:27.200
uh there Dela gangs that run the out of cities
and they don't like anybody who's not delas if
1:37:27.200,1:37:35.600
you try to help someone Li them a little bit of
coin they're probably going to lose it anyway be
1:37:35.600,1:37:46.480
careful this isn't what I was expecting
blaz hang on all right hang on zap hold
1:37:46.480,1:37:55.520
that thought gous and skull skull you as gous
says this I would say given your Insight check
1:37:55.520,1:38:03.440
from earlier which was quite impressive that
you get the feeling that these gnomes have
1:38:03.440,1:38:12.760
become very good at kind of looking out
for themselves under these very difficult
1:38:12.760,1:38:21.400
circumstances I've always might
have been you know hardworking
1:38:21.400,1:38:24.880
Fair a little a little Gruff but I
always thought that was part of their
1:38:24.880,1:38:37.280
charm I I guess I haven't met that many my
father's different uh family always has been
1:38:37.280,1:38:46.560
he's mother's mother's not as bad father's a
raging xenophobe it's why I don't go home very
1:38:46.560,1:38:59.520
often uh my sister fault to to that sometimes
and she's next in line I don't agree with the
1:38:59.520,1:39:08.240
way that they see people who aren't us sorry who
aren't delvas is why I I spend less and less time
1:39:08.240,1:39:19.960
at home this is this is what chased you into
the Wilds yeah I I met people and I liked them
1:39:19.960,1:39:27.440
people who weren't delas and I I needed I needed
to see for myself if all of the horrible hateful
1:39:27.440,1:39:37.800
things that he said were true they just went um I
didn't understand your reluctance to turn I I see
1:39:37.800,1:39:46.880
it now I'm sorry we had to come here you need to
you need to be prepared all of you do it's it's
1:39:46.880,1:39:57.240
not a good place outside it's maybe some of us
should look Dela although if they can't speak it
1:39:57.240,1:40:07.000
that might not work too well and a lot of people
you will meet will be able to see through it oh
1:40:07.000,1:40:14.760
best to be yourself and be hated for that well I
mean I guess I'm used to it although lately it's
1:40:14.760,1:40:23.480
not been so bad people you know to I look he
glances back towards the people just talk to
1:40:23.480,1:40:39.240
me um Blaze pipes up and it's like I am
sorry for forcing the meeting so quickly
1:40:39.240,1:40:45.840
if I knew okay it had to happen sooner or
later and we needed to be here it's bandage
1:40:45.840,1:40:53.000
straight off you know rather not be but it
is what it is uh whether my father will see
1:40:53.000,1:40:59.800
us is a completely different story mother
mother hopefully be there to greet me but
1:40:59.800,1:41:05.720
uh for what it's worth and in M it's probably
not worth much I kept to myself while I was
1:41:05.720,1:41:14.880
here when I was here I didn't see too many
bad things this is you were you weren't in
1:41:14.880,1:41:23.640
the in the markets around the city further out
as where we are here anyone who's not a Delver
1:41:23.640,1:41:30.520
is treated badly yeah Dela gangs run the outer
cities and a lot of the time they are supported
1:41:30.520,1:41:39.560
by the police the soldiers I just like to say
we have been continuing to move away from the
1:41:39.560,1:41:47.560
village here just yeah sure and and walk and as
as you are walking and talking there there is a
1:41:47.560,1:41:53.760
moment where you see this kind of this little
glimmer of light um behind this kind of low
1:41:53.760,1:42:01.600
Bush uh to one side of the road and a moment
later this familiar looking kind of badger form
1:42:01.600,1:42:08.560
comes kind of waddling out and we waddle over
to um to gemis and kind of just Falls in Step
1:42:08.560,1:42:18.840
next to her as she's talking occasionally just
butts against one leg her head um stoop for a
1:42:18.840,1:42:25.680
couple of steps to reach down and kind of Pat
him but he's he's not almost he's almost not
1:42:25.680,1:42:32.160
all there so the hand sort ofes through a little
bit and then Maks resistance badger badger some
1:42:32.160,1:42:42.360
mushrooms bger badger badger um the tries to
like poke the badger and the tentacle like SS
1:42:42.360,1:42:52.920
in a little bit before like popping back out
oh never poke the badger bad for you um as you
1:42:52.920,1:43:01.760
continue on um you you begin to see lights up
ahead maybe another um night is kind of Falls
1:43:01.760,1:43:09.200
early this far north um but it is definitely um
the sun has definitely fallen and ahead maybe an
1:43:09.200,1:43:17.960
hour after passing through the village you can
see uh you can see lights ahead um do we need to
1:43:17.960,1:43:24.200
find a place to rest tonight or are we likely to
get this I think gemus would be quite aware that
1:43:24.200,1:43:28.600
you are you are almost at the threshold of the
city you will be at the gates within the next
1:43:28.600,1:43:39.200
hour as you make your way along what has become
a relatively wide and well-maintained Cobblestone
1:43:39.200,1:43:51.240
Road uh you can see every um few hundred ft on
alternating sides of the road these tall Stone
1:43:51.240,1:44:02.760
Towers have been built and the top each one um
Burns a large fire to light up The Path um and in
1:44:02.760,1:44:08.040
the as you look ahead in the darkness you can see
the movement of other carts the cart that you had
1:44:08.040,1:44:14.800
spoken to there appear to be others making their
way in towards the city uh and as you continue
1:44:14.800,1:44:25.600
along um The Cliff that you're approaching Towers
above you now um cutting off half the Horizon you
1:44:25.600,1:44:34.080
can see above the edge of it above the silhouette
that it casts one corner of the dark point now but
1:44:34.080,1:44:43.760
so much of your vision is taken up by this Cliff
um that it uh that part of that phenomenon is now
1:44:43.760,1:44:50.560
covered the Cobble pathway
begins to increase in in slope
1:44:53.480,1:45:00.560
and as you come over a rise
you now see ahead of you um
1:45:00.560,1:45:05.760
this enormous Archway built into the Cliff face
1:45:05.760,1:45:14.280
itself you can see two Dela
figures standing each side
1:45:14.280,1:45:21.360
of it carved into the stone
probably 20 tank with a pork
1:45:21.360,1:45:32.200
face I don't get that reference I posted a picture
it's Iron Forge from world Warcraft um you see
1:45:32.200,1:45:38.280
you see um you see one is holding a pickaxe and
the other one is holding what looks like a very
1:45:38.280,1:45:48.080
small Hammer um and each of these Stone figures is
probably a good 15 20 ft high and at the Keystone
1:45:48.080,1:46:00.720
of the arch carved into the stone itself probably
a good 3 or 4T wide um is this intricate looking
1:46:00.720,1:46:09.040
gemstone not natural gemstone just a carving of
one the the the archway itself is probably a good
1:46:09.040,1:46:16.160
20 ft wide and probably at least 20 ft tall
you can see it would easily take two carts of
1:46:16.160,1:46:23.760
breast this seems like a good point
for a five minute break if we would
1:46:23.760,1:46:30.040
like to take a short break as we approach
uh as we approach then uh now will be the
1:46:30.040,1:46:36.320
time and when we reconvene we will be
before we break is stepping up to the
1:46:36.320,1:46:47.800
Gatey and then a booming voice going to say
second daughter like stand up to Regal Regal at
1:46:47.800,1:46:54.040
tallest foot or whatever it is daughter G dander
princess of the crystal Cavin and protector of
1:46:54.040,1:47:03.960
the great lightake open my [ __ ] gate Andy
titles you the rest of you here um taken by
1:47:03.960,1:47:13.680
surprise I mean you've heard you've heard G shout
before but this voice booms echoing off the cliff
1:47:13.680,1:47:22.200
face echoing up the tunnel that is been carved
into it and she speaks with an Authority that
1:47:22.200,1:47:34.400
you have not heard before and and as The Echoes
fade you see uh you see the 10 or so guards that
1:47:34.400,1:47:41.320
are stationed here to either side of the gate the
remainder checking carts as they make their way
1:47:41.320,1:47:50.320
in and speaking to drivers stop and turn several
of them level their Spears but hearing the titles
1:47:52.640,1:47:58.720
they look at each other somewhat
uncertainly until one who appears to
1:47:58.720,1:48:07.480
be the senior officer steps forward and we'll
be back after a short break thank you be back
1:48:07.480,1:48:23.120
soon I am still here if anybody wants to ask me
1:48:23.120,1:48:27.440
anything what me break
1:48:27.440,1:48:37.160
never I'm still here I'm just going to
make us in theed silm at all however this
1:48:37.160,1:48:39.960
feels like it's going to be a talking
session so I need another glass of
1:48:39.960,1:48:51.240
water I spent so much time this week setting up
macros and the stat blocks for for monsters for
1:48:51.240,1:48:58.720
you to kill so the combat ran smoothly damn
it don't you worry just wait the the the next
1:48:58.720,1:49:04.760
moment that we're about like we're on one of
those battle maps combat is about to start
1:49:04.760,1:49:08.600
that's when I'll choose to cast stream on the
rod so that we can all go and do the side quest
1:49:08.600,1:49:16.320
I'll [ __ ] cut you we need to do it at some
point I said we'd probably do it at cond and
1:49:16.320,1:49:25.640
we're at cond now oh God help me I actually have
stuff prepped for C I don't really well I I know
1:49:25.640,1:49:31.760
I know what you going I know what you're going
into I'm probably not probably not as prepped
1:49:31.760,1:49:38.520
as I should be but I know what you're going
into I know what you'll find when you do it
1:49:38.520,1:49:50.120
okay I know all no you don't you know you you
know most and you make the rest up yeah exactly
1:49:53.240,1:49:57.120

nice nice there is a list of four NPCs one
1:50:19.080,1:50:25.200

1:50:25.200,1:50:31.920
get yourself a Rio this ain't my first radio
don't you worry if you want good note take
1:50:31.920,1:50:37.520
if you want to take good notes as a DM you just
you got to get a Rio you offload it to a player
1:50:37.520,1:50:46.440
yeah I didn't even I didn't even have to offload
I 100% didn't even have to offload it one day he
1:50:46.440,1:50:51.720
just said oh do you want to see my notes for the
session I'm like yeah sure why not this [ __ ]
1:50:51.720,1:50:58.040
200 Page Word document turns up because see
this is why I run everything in play by first
1:50:58.040,1:51:04.520
if I need to check what happened I just control
F in the channel and search to to be fair it's
1:51:04.520,1:51:11.280
uh 620 Pages now and I Shrunk The the point
to down to 10 points Jesus Christ I need to
1:51:11.280,1:51:19.280
end this campaign Rock fall everybody dies why
is everyone D nobody nobody has any business to
1:51:19.280,1:51:28.400
have a campaign going that has 600 pages of notes
what have I done Wikipedia page for this actually
1:51:28.400,1:51:33.440
because when are we getting Wikipedia page updates
Wikipedia is woefully lacking yeah the Bro Anvil
1:51:33.440,1:51:41.000
ising yeah point was he was seeding it for us
to work on yeah I've not really set it up for
1:51:41.000,1:51:48.040
you to be able to do that no it was really kind
of look it was intended for me but Jesus [ __ ]
1:51:48.040,1:51:53.600
it's hard to find time to do anything these
days ni I think you'll find that uh Sophia's
1:51:53.600,1:51:59.760
uh entry on thatv is very fleshed out a lot
interesting tidbit of War it it is this is
1:51:59.760,1:52:14.400
true right what have I missed with the world
dead and cond is on fire and euphra be Sophia
1:52:14.400,1:52:20.320
Sophia threatened me Sophia threatened
me with a good time yeah came room to

going to happen she she I put a great big
1:52:29.680,1:52:35.360
red red button marked launch in front of her
and she has been trying to press it for some
1:52:35.360,1:52:43.280
time oh no no I'm just thinking about what the
worst time is to press her that causes the most
1:52:43.280,1:52:53.760
inconvenience I wrote custom macros for some
of these battles okay I learned JavaScript for
1:52:53.760,1:53:04.320

at you with a mixture of kind of Interest or
1:55:01.840,1:55:06.360

Insignia the Insignia ring pull it out of a
1:57:23.200,1:57:31.320
pouch and light it on big the real signant yeah

1:57:31.320,1:57:37.240
functional um and I I hold it out to him and I
show him and then I punch him in the head with
1:57:37.240,1:57:47.680
it make it a make it a attack roll
[ __ ] brilliant Advantage how do I
1:57:47.680,1:57:52.400
just make a standard strength the de roll like um
1:57:52.400,1:58:06.520
D um nice question nice um so have you got it set
to private roles yeah all the DI faces question oh
1:58:06.520,1:58:13.520
yeah I do yeah sorry that's all good I could see
it though it's an 18 um so here's what the rest
1:58:13.520,1:58:23.160
of you see um you see G kind of slide this chunky
looking bright silver ring on with a signate on
1:58:23.160,1:58:31.520
it um skull with your passive perception you
would see a couple of little glimps on it this
1:58:31.520,1:58:41.680
this ring is Gem encrusted um and you you kind
of you can see the bugs on her mantle like you
1:58:41.680,1:58:48.440
can hear them buzzing angrily as they key off her
emotions and gemus just kind of clears her throat
1:58:48.440,1:58:53.680
and the guard kind of turns to look at her and
she holds the ring out and he looks down he he
1:58:53.680,1:59:02.840
looks down at it and his eyes widen in Surprise
and then a moment later there's a flack as gemus
1:59:02.840,1:59:11.280
just clocks him in the middle of the forehead
with the Signet ring he stumbles backwards and
1:59:11.280,1:59:17.840
you can see the Signet imprinted in the skin of
his forehead he stumbles backwards and his eyes
1:59:17.840,1:59:25.840
widen and he looks like he's about to swing before
he comes to his senses and realizes and then stops
1:59:25.840,1:59:33.840
and then drops to his knees generous will just
stare down at him and say where that Mark with
1:59:33.840,1:59:39.080
pride oh will my lady I meant you no
1:59:39.080,1:59:53.920
harm okay guys let's go as you move as
terrified fall in line like as you move
1:59:53.920,1:59:59.320
can I can I stop a moment just ahead of
him as we're walking past yep and if he
1:59:59.320,2:00:04.040
looks up I'm just going to like shake my head
a little and then follow the other as you move
2:00:04.040,2:00:08.120
forward you um you see a couple of the other
guards who probably aren't cognizant of what
2:00:08.120,2:00:12.200
just happened move forward to intercept
you before this Dela kind of stands and
2:00:12.200,2:00:19.160
says God form up
2:00:19.960,2:00:26.680
escort her lady ship the second
daughter of karat into the
2:00:26.680,2:00:34.560
city Blaze looks terrified and I'm just
imagining that he's seeing everything
2:00:34.560,2:00:39.160
that could have gone wrong as we're walking
into the gates Blaze is having that Blaze is
2:00:39.160,2:00:43.000
having the doctor strange moment with like
the eyes flickering from side to side is
2:00:43.000,2:00:50.160
he just evaluated about a thousand ways that that
ended very poorly um looks at me and holds up one
2:00:50.160,2:01:01.880
finger that that is like the early way that would
have work um but with that the the delvas kind of
2:01:01.880,2:01:09.600
fall in either side of your group as you begin
moving uh moving into the tunnel proper As you
2:01:09.600,2:01:17.520
move into the tunnel it's it immediately begins
sloping upwards you can see beautiful stone work
2:01:17.520,2:01:24.600
um this tunnel is butress and reinforced you can
see the walls themselves have been carved yeah
2:01:24.600,2:01:36.840
fat buttresses um the walls themselves have been
carved B but these other columns can't deny um as
2:01:36.840,2:01:45.160
you you um make your way up there are torches set
into sconces either side lighting up this broad
2:01:45.160,2:01:56.240
roadway as you go slope up the river that you've
been following continues along kind of getting
2:01:56.240,2:02:04.080
further and further beneath you it kind of carves
its way beside this ramp cut into the stone workor
2:02:04.080,2:02:13.040
itself into this Cliff the ascent to the top of
this ramp probably takes another half an hour
2:02:13.040,2:02:23.440
Jesus heading deeper and deeper into the mountain
that houses cak until eventually you reach the
2:02:23.440,2:02:33.440
top and broadens out into a kind
of a vestibule into a an opening
2:02:33.440,2:02:39.880
chamber at the end of which you
can see two enormous Stone arched
2:02:39.880,2:02:45.200
Gates as you approach one of the guards calls out
2:02:45.200,2:02:54.280
again s's assemblage approaching open the
2:02:54.280,2:03:02.200
gates hearing this you see two uh delvas
either side of it begin turning these
2:03:02.200,2:03:11.080
enormous Wheels um as they click you can
hear the grinding of Gears as the gate
2:03:11.080,2:03:18.880
slowly open a little bit
wider for you to pass through
2:03:21.880,2:03:27.440
as you approach one of the delvis steps
forward and seeing seeing the group of
2:03:27.440,2:03:34.000
you approaching you hear him speak in
Delver to those of you who understand
2:03:34.000,2:03:42.040
it um says the other the hour grows
late we were preparing to Bar the
2:03:42.040,2:03:54.080
gates and the the honor guard that you have the
leader of it says well it's best that you don't
2:03:54.080,2:04:00.040
we bring with us a member of the royal family
um just let you know I'm thinking going to use
2:04:00.040,2:04:09.320
my third eye to read any language sure because I
don't know Dela sure uh as you pass through the
2:04:09.320,2:04:18.800
gates you um you see you are still you're still in
what looks to be kind of carved Delver made cabin
2:04:19.720,2:04:28.360
um and tunnels but a lot wider now and lower
um and as you move along this roadway you can
2:04:28.360,2:04:33.320
see kind of built to the left and right of it for
those of you who are claustrophobic may be feeling
2:04:33.320,2:04:37.640
this a little bit now although there's plenty
of room around you but it's been a while since
2:04:37.640,2:04:43.560
you've had Open Sky in front of above you now um
you can see buildings kind of carved into the Rock
2:04:43.560,2:04:52.920
itself there's a few torches scattered here and
there um um in fact I'd say this area would be
2:04:52.920,2:05:00.520
relatively well lit um because this is still kind
of the the the opening kind of introduction to the
2:05:00.520,2:05:10.560
city itself and and these areas certainly take non
delvas um but as your entourage continues you can
2:05:10.560,2:05:20.440
see you begin to slope downwards um I'd like all
of you please to make uh a perception check Jack
2:05:20.440,2:05:27.880
it is sight based how we are we going into stately
Pace you are going into stly P you're being you're
2:05:27.880,2:05:35.640
being escorted nice roll uh not so nice roll
14 cuz I had to cancel this disadvantage for
2:05:35.640,2:05:47.240
my level of exhaustion you should sleep more
I I I'm sorry I I don't speak please 17 have
2:05:47.240,2:05:55.720
three eyes I do I can open the third one why do
you have three eyes quickly describe it's like a
2:05:55.720,2:06:00.760
bowl I mean I've seen one eye and I've seen lot of
two eyes seen you've seen this once before I think
2:06:00.760,2:06:07.880
when we first met yes we have seen your eye before
and it's like a ball like you're not sure if it's
2:06:07.880,2:06:12.360
actually like just in front of his forehead
or actually in his forehead it's hard to tell
2:06:12.360,2:06:20.720
partly because it hurts to look at for very long
but it's just like a b of energy blue purple am I
2:06:20.720,2:06:32.960
looking into the F fact cannot avert her gaze from
it and therefore pain yeah but um you're basically
2:06:32.960,2:06:39.920
looking in the time stream if you're looking
at his forehead right now as you make your way
2:06:39.920,2:06:49.760
through um there's a couple of points where uh
you you pass over um kind of Parts in the tunnel
2:06:49.760,2:06:55.560
floor we can see kind of a little bit open there's
like grates that look like they might open to like
2:06:55.560,2:07:01.400
a a sewer or a drain or something but as you pass
through them skull you're the first to really get
2:07:01.400,2:07:05.920
this although gous you would be very familiar
with it uh there's just something about the
2:07:05.920,2:07:11.880
distance that does not seem right that it seems
off skull you realize that what you're looking
2:07:11.880,2:07:21.920
down on through these grates is maybe hundreds of
feet below you and you begin to realize that this
2:07:21.920,2:07:31.800
city is built into the roof of what looks
like it is a massive and expansive Cavern
2:07:31.800,2:07:44.720
below and deep deep below you can see
just a very faint glma reflecting off
2:07:44.720,2:07:52.640
water would that ping my archaeologist
feet CLE knowledge thing uh it may make
2:07:52.640,2:07:56.880
a history check while uh while skull asks gous a
2:07:56.880,2:08:07.720
question what what's gous uh that's
that's the Great Lake down there the
2:08:07.720,2:08:15.560
mountain range that kter is built in
is huge it's massive it's not a single
2:08:15.560,2:08:20.680
Mountain it runs for hundreds of miles uh
are you going to be able to get us down
2:08:20.680,2:08:28.360
there yeah we can get down there's there's
ways of getting down I'm going to interject
2:08:28.360,2:08:41.240
there through an active DM Fiat gem I'm going
to say that it is in fact all right let me drop
2:08:41.240,2:08:52.680
a little bit of law here um you could even
do it through Blaze everything she um so K
2:08:52.680,2:09:04.360
is famous famous for its gemstones most of which
are obtained from that Lake itself oh interesting
2:09:04.360,2:09:13.680
diving the lake is something that generations
of cites have done um but it is it is dangerous
2:09:13.680,2:09:26.200
dangerous work um more than just the risk of of
drowning um the lake itself is uh is uh what's
2:09:26.200,2:09:36.080
the right word is crisscrossed by uh crystalline
formations that are sharp as razors um but almost
2:09:36.080,2:09:44.320
impossible to sense under the water so clear
CS are beneath the lake correct so clear they
2:09:44.320,2:09:55.320
are that if you do not know the cavern extremely
well that diving them you could be parted in half
2:09:55.320,2:10:02.360
by a razor of Crystal before you even realized
like father son job you don't you don't start
2:10:02.360,2:10:08.320
the job you're basically said you're doing the
job because you inherit yeah yeah essentially
2:10:08.320,2:10:14.200
I mean there is great wealth to be found there
um tell how good a diver is by how long their
2:10:14.200,2:10:21.640
beard is cuz it regularly gets trimmed that
is that is now Canon um cuz cuz that's very
2:10:21.640,2:10:35.240
clever um and there is one more thing access to
that cabin is absolutely forbidden to Outsiders
2:10:35.240,2:10:41.400
okay play a fat here techically I'm not trying to
get into the lake where the rubies are so much as
2:10:41.400,2:10:47.120
get into the cavins where theer is which
is somewhere beneath us um yeah of course
2:10:47.120,2:10:55.840
you are um two things in fact one access to the
cabin to Outsiders is strictly forbidden uh but
2:10:55.840,2:11:07.280
two what's the best way to put this there is a
very very strong there is very very strong taboo
2:11:07.280,2:11:15.800
against going too deep in that Lake um to the
point where where part of the Royal Family's job
2:11:15.800,2:11:23.440
is is in fact to safeguard that um so they will
you know uh there has been in recent years there
2:11:23.440,2:11:31.760
has been a great deal of pressure to uh modernize
that diving um kind of trade but there is a
2:11:31.760,2:11:39.120
there is a a very powerful social Tabo about for
instance taking you know using artificial means to
2:11:39.120,2:11:47.640
extend your ability to dive and things like that
is greatly frowned upon it's a very it's gonna be
2:11:47.640,2:11:53.080
hard to get down there we're probably by default
no but so there's there's there's the C law
2:11:53.080,2:12:03.680
drop frantically typed up during a five minute
break just to kind of ask is it almost like a
2:12:03.680,2:12:08.360
um kind of spiritual thing for them like more
than just being like social Deo is it almost
2:12:08.360,2:12:18.240
yeah kind of like almost mythologized um look
so it is mythologized in the sense that you
2:12:18.240,2:12:24.360
know naughty children get told that the monsters
at the bottom of the lake will get them right but
2:12:24.360,2:12:30.960
it's it's got that kind of like cultural I don't
want to modernize it through run of like I just
2:12:30.960,2:12:37.000
feel like it's just so my impulse to like just
jump in had happened I'd be in a lot of trouble
2:12:37.000,2:12:41.040
well I mean you wouldn't you'd be you'd be
trying to cut through you know metal bars
2:12:41.040,2:12:47.360
to get down there these greats are massive um you
know they uh gous would know that there is access
2:12:47.360,2:12:53.640
obviously the need to get down there's there's
there pictured that wrong there is an enormous
2:12:53.640,2:12:59.720
you know what they call the the port of curac and
it isn't a port in the traditional sense it's you
2:12:59.720,2:13:07.760
know these enormous circular Gates that can be
opened from the roof of the cabern to allow um
2:13:07.760,2:13:13.480
you know boats to be lowered down on davits you
know down the hundreds of feet to get to the water
2:13:13.480,2:13:19.520
itself hold on so you you mentioned that there's
a social taboo against like using artificial means
2:13:19.520,2:13:23.360
to extend how long you can dive for does that
mean that they're diving like without equipment
2:13:23.360,2:13:27.880
like just holding their breath diving down and
grabbing gems and coming back up that is exactly
2:13:27.880,2:13:35.120
what that means yeah I thought nobody tell them
I don't breathe that's [ __ ] cool um did my 28
2:13:35.120,2:13:40.120
get me anything so that was a 28 for history can
you remind me what your original question was um
2:13:40.120,2:13:45.880
if anything I'm seeing here is basically pinging
my um archaeologist feature which was historical
2:13:45.880,2:13:54.400
knowledge Bing um I mean I think you have enough
of an interest in history combined with the fact
2:13:54.400,2:14:00.480
that um you probably would have had some Visions
while you were here that you I like the Thematic
2:14:00.480,2:14:04.680
that every time I roll a history I'm also
just getting Visions you would be you would
2:14:04.680,2:14:12.880
be cognizant of much of what I just explained even
though you are not you know of karak originally um
2:14:12.880,2:14:18.760
through a combination of just your own research
knowing that you needed to travel there um and
2:14:18.760,2:14:25.240
also uh visions that you had 28 is a pretty
good role for history um what can I give you
2:14:25.240,2:14:30.120
for a 28 I'd like to give you something for
that role except that all of your rols are
2:14:30.120,2:14:38.360
going to be impressive um myt and I can't um the
story of the famous first diver who found the
2:14:38.360,2:14:48.480
gyms there's a statue over there um
you could tell it's an old statue cuz
2:14:48.480,2:14:54.600
he's I don't think I can give you
this without without potentially
2:14:54.600,2:15:00.240
spoiling something okay whisper it to
him so it doesn't spoil for the rest of
2:15:00.240,2:15:04.880
us no no it's all right
2:15:04.880,2:15:13.480
um
2:15:13.480,2:15:25.200
Blaze going a say that you have
had a vision while you were here
2:15:25.200,2:15:35.880
of some non delers entering the waters
but as for when that did happen or will
2:15:35.880,2:15:43.640
happen that is not clear gotta I'm also
imagining play is smart enough not to
2:15:43.640,2:15:47.800
tell the very xenophobic dwarves and
he knows this [ __ ] or he's seen that
2:15:50.000,2:16:01.960
as this kind of you know as between gemas
and Blaze this is explained to you um you
2:16:01.960,2:16:11.960
hear the jingle of armor approaching a
lot of armor and you look up and you can
2:16:11.960,2:16:26.280
see um you can see probably let's say
12 to 14 delvers marching up the road
2:16:26.280,2:16:32.319
um and safely within that
2:16:32.319,2:16:39.880
formation you see a Dela
woman and Gus I would like
2:16:39.880,2:16:42.080
for you please to describe what your mother looks
2:16:42.080,2:16:55.240
like he's older than you expect uh for Dela
she's around 4 and 1/2t Tall she's taller
2:16:55.240,2:17:03.240
than Fuller than gemus she's got long dark salt
and pepper hair more more dark than Salt and
2:17:03.240,2:17:10.160
Pepper but uh blows down her back with the two
braids that run around the side and then as a
2:17:10.160,2:17:19.479
third braid comes down the the back of her head
she's dressed all in a royal blue deep milon
2:17:19.479,2:17:27.839
sapphire blue Vermillion that's right right no
Vermillion is red ceran that'll be that'll do
2:17:27.840,2:17:38.000
blur's strong she looks strong like
she's built she's not a not a small
2:17:38.000,2:17:42.319
she's larger than a normal Dela like gers
carries a little bit of extra weight but a
2:17:42.319,2:17:51.519
mother it's just it looks like muscle is it's
a thick like she's got large arms and strong
2:17:51.520,2:17:58.800
shoulders um and as as she approaches deis is
standing there and it's like she's got an iron rod
2:17:58.800,2:18:08.560
in her spine and her jaw is set she looks Regal
the first time you've ever actually seen her look
2:18:08.560,2:18:18.880
like more than a an outdoorsy girl um and as she
approaches her eyes to sort of give way and ands
2:18:18.880,2:18:28.000
sad and as she approaches she just looks
and her bottom lip Quivers a little when
2:18:28.000,2:18:39.080
she this hello Mother good to see you the
jingling stops as the guards kind of halt
2:18:39.080,2:18:45.519
um and you these these dovas do not look like
uh the gate guards you can see that they are
2:18:45.520,2:18:53.160
uh they are very well armed and arm to each
one carries um a heavy spear um and over this
2:18:53.160,2:19:02.439
kind of plate armor you can see they each wear
this uh this Cerulean blue tabard um edged in
2:19:02.439,2:19:09.839
silver uh and on each of them is the the crest
of karak um generous do you know what that Crest
2:19:09.840,2:19:20.040
is otherwise I can tell you what I had in
my head um it's gemstones it's different
2:19:20.040,2:19:25.640
cuts of gemstones the center is a a
large cushion cut Sapphire around the
2:19:25.640,2:19:34.359
outside there's different um different cuts
of sapphires and just like a fractal P it's
2:19:34.359,2:19:39.920
like smaller like going in yeah basically
like it's yeah it's like it is can just
2:19:39.920,2:19:45.280
ask why it's a sapphire and not a rubby
when we've heard so much about the rubies
2:19:45.280,2:19:50.800
sorry there's a ruby in the middle and it's
and um I think of the green gemstone around
2:19:50.800,2:20:01.560
theal you can see this kind of concentric
pattern picked out in kind of silvered and
2:20:01.560,2:20:09.680
uh and kind of greened and red um glimmering
thread on each [ __ ] and as they stop they
2:20:09.680,2:20:17.560
kind of Stand Tall spe held to the side
yep are they does can blaze tell if just
2:20:17.560,2:20:22.760
wearing like well-made steel armor or
is this [ __ ] like adamantium mythal
2:20:22.760,2:20:34.280
fancy mancy stuff uh make an um make
an investigation check I'm not bad at
2:20:34.280,2:20:46.840
them uh 28 uh it's not solid myal there's
definitely myal components in this right um
2:20:46.840,2:20:54.120
but other than that is very well-made steel armor
um they stop stand straight Spears are held eyes
2:20:54.120,2:21:03.720
firmly fixed forward um nobody is looking at gemas
they are all looking at the rest of you um as
2:21:03.720,2:21:13.520
the Dela woman kind of steps forward out of the
formation she walks up to gemas she extends her
2:21:13.520,2:21:22.439
hand and you can see on her hand is a silver um
signat very similar to the one that GTH wears I'll
2:21:22.439,2:21:27.719
that I was waiting for the
this is how we say hello
2:21:27.720,2:21:36.720
here hello go to one knee and kiss the kiss
the Rings I I that that's going to become a
2:21:36.720,2:21:45.880
thing now um Sophia will also kneel she'll
take her keys from jamros uh FAS will see
2:21:45.880,2:21:51.560
you doing that and look around minute go [ __ ]
and she'll drop down to one knee as well Blaze
2:21:51.560,2:21:57.439
just stands there awkwardly and tries to make
himself shrink more which is difficult when
2:21:57.439,2:22:05.559
you're so as tall as he is um as you kiss uh
the signant ring um your mother reaches down
2:22:05.560,2:22:13.319
G and takes both your hands and just lifts you
up and then just draws you into an Embrace I
2:22:13.319,2:22:20.840
give her a hug but it's a it's an awkward hug
amongst people you know it's just sort of a
2:22:20.840,2:22:28.240
little lean in in a in a backpack she releases
you from the Embrace and just kind of moves you
2:22:28.240,2:22:39.559
back a little bit she looks at you and she
goes my dear gemus you you are keeping well
2:22:39.560,2:22:49.399
do okay it's uh been a while since I've been
back in the mountain more oppressive than I
2:22:49.399,2:22:56.240
remember I she kind of looks down at her shoulder
2:22:56.240,2:23:00.960
where one little kind of glow bug has
settled and she just kind of flicks it
2:23:00.960,2:23:10.120
away should have the set the stuff on the
ground and everything that was sort of all
2:23:10.120,2:23:16.880
the bugs that was sort of out inspecting just
back on back under the head of the stuff this
2:23:16.880,2:23:23.439
is silk gemus and she kind of brushes at
it my I'm sorry brother she G will reach
2:23:23.439,2:23:30.799
out and sort of brush it off as you brush it
off like there's just more bug dust that was
2:23:30.800,2:23:37.040
on your hands that you're just transferring it
now oh God you still sort of shake her hands
2:23:37.040,2:23:44.600

advantage as like an Entourage okay sure you're

not you're the Intimidator that's no that's
fair enough that's fair enough I guess I
2:24:54.240,2:24:58.200
chose intimidation because you were kind
of standing your ground so let's call it
2:24:58.200,2:25:06.840
persuasion and and you would have been rolling
you would have been rolling at disadvantage but
2:25:06.840,2:25:13.120
because you're being helped then we'll
call it Advantage if it matters at all
2:25:13.120,2:25:19.760
like DC wise soop is still just like kneeling
she has not been given to rise by royalty and
2:25:19.760,2:25:26.000
as much as she hates the no like stuff she
was still raised by nose to like keep her
2:25:26.000,2:25:38.720
[ __ ] head down 16's with a plus zero 16
she'll pause for a moment um and then say
2:25:38.720,2:25:49.920
um very well they may accompany
you for now it may be they have
2:25:49.920,2:25:54.760
information that will be of use she'll
just generous will just turn around and
2:25:54.760,2:25:58.760
say just um just stay a little way back
don't get too close to the Queen We may
2:25:58.760,2:26:04.600
um we don't want skill dying sooner than he wants
2:26:04.600,2:26:16.800
to uh yeah I'll I'll I'll do it as request okay
2:26:20.920,2:26:30.040
she will lead you all um through sorry I'm
multitasking she'll lead you all through
2:26:30.040,2:26:40.640
um through this kind of main this auction
District of karak um now that you've kind
2:26:40.640,2:26:46.800
of reach the peak you can see these kind of
tunnels uh they broaden out into larger kind
2:26:46.800,2:26:54.560
kind of Delver made Caverns um and you can see
off slightly down and to the right um You can
2:26:54.560,2:27:02.840
see this this building with torches all around
it that generous you would know is the oan house
2:27:02.840,2:27:08.399
and you can see that there is a lot of traffic
um around there kind of people Milling around
2:27:08.399,2:27:14.080
there um you see a number of other buildings
carved into the Rock with various torches uh
2:27:14.080,2:27:18.920
lighting them up but you make your way to the
left and as you approach you approach another
2:27:18.920,2:27:29.520
set of gates um as you move towards the Royal
compound itself um as the the Royal Entourage
2:27:29.520,2:27:36.760
approaches um the gates are opened without kind
of without a word being said obviously um you
2:27:36.760,2:27:49.840
were expected uh and as you uh pass through
them you can see now um you merge onto a a
2:27:49.840,2:27:53.760
platform
2:27:53.760,2:28:06.680
uh and from this platform you can see this kind
of suspended pathway um that thrusts out into
2:28:06.680,2:28:13.279
the kind of the Void of the cabin itself
uh this area is more open now you are a
2:28:13.279,2:28:23.240
little bit more exposed uh to the waters
uh of the uh Crystal Caverns Lake below
2:28:23.240,2:28:29.160
um where's where's Iris I I assume she'd be with
2:28:29.160,2:28:35.760
you
2:28:35.760,2:28:39.319
you you were not
2:28:39.319,2:28:47.799
aware what thought we've just arrived
I've been been traveling for quite a
2:28:47.800,2:28:54.880
while she
2:28:54.880,2:29:03.760
okay we should talk later in
2:29:03.760,2:29:10.720
private is you
2:29:10.720,2:29:25.240
wish uh you all um uh you are led
to uh what looks to be a small
2:29:25.240,2:29:38.080
platform and pulled up next to that platform
is what appears to be um a carriage uh there
2:29:38.080,2:29:45.640
are no horses lashed to it but you watches the
guards step aside um and uh one of them pulls
2:29:45.640,2:29:59.439
the door open uh and Gus's mother enters Gus
follows after the guard's gesture to the rest
2:29:59.439,2:30:10.080
of you to an yep all right that's Gooding
yeah so will once the God's gesture she'll
2:30:10.080,2:30:16.439
go she's not doing anything without permission
SK didn't wait me neither please didn't neither
2:30:19.200,2:30:26.479
uh as you enter it's it's it's somewhat cramped
um but you do manage to kind of all fit into
2:30:26.479,2:30:36.319
this fairly um sizable Carriage um You Feel
The Carriage Rock slightly um and you watch
2:30:36.319,2:30:44.960
us emerging from a room next to uh next to
the platform um this massive figure emerges
2:30:44.960,2:30:55.840
made up almost most entirely of what looks to be
living animated Stone um no real face to speak
2:30:55.840,2:31:04.960
of uh but set about in the kind of lump where
the head would be you can see just a single uh
2:31:04.960,2:31:11.479
a single gemstone looks to be an emerald I don't
think you even need to roll I you would know that
2:31:11.479,2:31:21.599
this is a Golem it kind of probably probably
he play as it kind of goes on he watches it
2:31:21.600,2:31:27.000
Lumbers forward and then steps down and in front
of this carriage and just reaches down and grabs
2:31:27.000,2:31:34.680
it and you feel the carriage slowly starting to
move forward and then faster and then faster and
2:31:34.680,2:31:39.840
then faster as this Golem picks up more and
more speed and you feel yourselves beginning
2:31:39.840,2:31:49.359
to be pressed back into your seats as with you
know almost the speed of a galloping horse the
2:31:49.359,2:32:07.000
um the uh the The Carriage begins to move along
this uh this suspended um kind of suspended track
2:32:07.000,2:32:15.279
glancing out the windows Far Far Below you you
can see the the black Inky Waters of the lake that
2:32:15.279,2:32:21.960
occasionally seem to be lit up and for a moment
you initially your initial thought looking at is
2:32:21.960,2:32:27.600
is oh you know that's the moon reflected on it but
you're in a cabin there is no moon and you realize
2:32:27.600,2:32:35.319
that the waters seem to be glimmering with some
sort of luminesence the source of which is not
2:32:35.319,2:32:46.279
clear as you rock from side to
side um Gus's mother looks at
2:32:46.279,2:32:53.559
you all and says to you gous you have
yet to introduce me to your friends
2:32:53.560,2:33:06.920
darling sorry about this is this is Skull um he's
an automaton a lovely young man but um St not try
2:33:06.920,2:33:13.479
and steal anything here you will be executed
uh Blaze he's relatively new seems like a nice
2:33:13.479,2:33:19.639
enough fell really good at a couple of things um
and he's got this weird eye that hurts when you
2:33:19.640,2:33:26.279
look at it that's sopia she's very dangerous
to old people so beware don't do anything to
2:33:26.279,2:33:34.679
annoy her um see Soph just visibly like as she
always does the mention of the man just like
2:33:34.680,2:33:41.640
clam up and shut off I'm sorry I'm sorry dear
it was a joke I'm trying to not good at jokes
2:33:41.640,2:33:50.200
with my mother um we lost a couple along the way
we think they're okay um morak she's lovely and
2:33:50.200,2:33:59.080
nibong he's a little weird man um we get someone
to go out and look for them they were they we
2:33:59.080,2:34:06.920
were split by an avalanche in the mountains
about a week East and I'll describe where we
2:34:06.920,2:34:12.960
lost them and see if see if we can get someone
sent out to to track them down I'm assuming we
2:34:12.960,2:34:20.680
would have trackers I we'll speak to the guard
and see if uh if there is any word see if they
2:34:20.680,2:34:36.240
can be found um trust these people with my life
it's been bit of dangerous few months to be fair
2:34:36.240,2:34:46.920
uh the dark spot in the sky the reemergence of
the water plane it's it's dangerous out there
2:34:46.920,2:34:54.319
how's everything is everything in the in the
mountain the mountain protects us as it always
2:34:54.319,2:35:00.759
has the problems of the over the problems
of the Overworld are not problems that we
2:35:00.760,2:35:12.399
share I don't think that's the case
anymore we can again we can discuss that
2:35:12.399,2:35:19.519
later perhaps would be best have
you told have you told them your
2:35:19.520,2:35:23.479
mother's name yet no because I can't think of
2:35:23.479,2:35:39.639
one is allow me to introduce name plate also
forget my old character were AR you oh yeah
2:35:39.640,2:35:49.520
sorry later oh yeah [ __ ] like all right it's
been a while Fair having a moment BL is still
2:35:49.520,2:35:53.120
kind of looking at the window and watching
the Golem walk past he like nodded when you
2:35:53.120,2:35:57.200
introduced him B otherwise he's been staring out
the window well it's kind of at the front pulling
2:35:57.200,2:36:05.760
pulling the The Carriage like half trying to put
his head out the window bu this is my mother theis
2:36:05.760,2:36:18.399
theis huh uh at this the the rocking of the the
the rocking of the carriage begins to slau um as
2:36:18.399,2:36:32.719
uh as you draw closer to your destination um
it stops uh the guards open uh the door and
2:36:32.720,2:36:45.319
um Gus's mother steps out she turns and
says um your father will be waiting in
2:36:45.319,2:36:51.719
the throne room I I will go and join him
uh the guards will Usher you when we are
2:36:51.720,2:37:03.319
ready how is he is he he keep he
keep he going is he going to be
2:37:03.319,2:37:17.719
decent he's the same he is and
always will be the same that's not
2:37:17.720,2:37:20.840
suspicious
2:37:20.840,2:37:30.479
um roll inside check yeah that sounds like they're
planning a mortality or something so her name's
2:37:30.479,2:37:36.000
not theis it's would it I don't know why but I
think it should be th and Theus like king and
2:37:36.000,2:37:47.800
queen oh 25 not 20 oh okay soia just like stops
our from nodding in understanding but totally her
2:37:47.800,2:37:56.040
parents are rich [ __ ] she gets what he's the
thing can mean in terms of he's in charge good
2:37:56.040,2:38:00.399
don't don't even bother you know what Sophia don't
even bother rolling the inside because You' have
2:38:00.399,2:38:08.839
100% got uh you you the player are actually 100%
picked up um he he will he will be decent because
2:38:08.840,2:38:16.720
he's in charge and by definition how he acts is
decent yeah I I I got like they meant that he's
2:38:16.720,2:38:22.000
in charge but the way that they said that he will
always be F has Blaze kind of like wait a minute
2:38:22.000,2:38:29.680
i' I'd say with a Nat 20 you would probably it
Peaks a bit of interest but then you think no
2:38:29.680,2:38:35.040
this is just this is just a figure of speech okay
he is and always will be the thing until he's not
2:38:35.040,2:38:41.319
and then the new thing is and always will be
the thing gotcha it's just a weird political
2:38:41.319,2:38:45.080
so it feels like she she stopped herself from
nodding because it would be improper but she's
2:38:45.080,2:38:54.279
like um yeah I I know I know the drill here you
get that um as higher as she as she finishes
2:38:54.279,2:39:02.719
speaking she looks at you for a moment Gus and
you see um you see a flicker of sadness in her
2:39:02.720,2:39:10.040
eyes sorry she looks at you gemus and gemus you
see a flicker of sadness in her eyes um and she
2:39:10.040,2:39:15.640
reaches out and she just places her hand on
your elbow and she looks at you and she says
2:39:19.240,2:39:20.200
whatever happens my
2:39:20.200,2:39:31.559
darling I am glad to see you back and then
she turns and kind of draws herself up and
2:39:31.560,2:39:39.319
just strides away and you have a few moments
before you'll be ushered to your audience as
2:39:39.319,2:39:45.759
we're here Blaze probably calls Max up to his
shoulders and kind of gets him to stay there mhm
2:39:45.760,2:39:55.319
is just going to turn turn to everybody and she
okay this could be difficult father's difficult
2:39:55.319,2:40:03.319
angry man be careful try not to say anything
unto W and she stares at skull as she's saying
2:40:03.319,2:40:19.279
that he he has a temper and he has the power
to wield that temper and during that speech I
2:40:19.279,2:40:30.160
will cast just in case um motivational speech so
everyone gets 20 uh temporary hit points oh nice
2:40:30.160,2:40:41.920

I hope that you guys don't get us
2:41:40.200,2:41:49.880
all right safe chars I'll see you all
next time whenever that may be three
2:41:49.880,2:41:56.160
months six to eight months same B Time same
B Channel all right take it easy have a great
2:41:56.160,2:42:07.880
Christmas Merry Christmas all right I'm just
fixing up a map really really quickly all right
2:42:07.880,2:42:12.399
while you're doing that I start casting mending
on Gus's clothes to like patch up all the like
2:42:12.399,2:42:20.759
things from travel I also do presentation on G
as well to clean her up good call I I know yeah
2:42:20.760,2:42:25.520
well I've got ther thury so she kind of does
the same thing the problem is ever since she
2:42:25.520,2:42:34.120
got the level the Druid dip she heads like moth
Shimmer everywhere she goes always like it's like
2:42:34.120,2:42:38.399
got constant dandruff on her [ __ ] I'm not just
imagining Blaze sitting behind her during this
2:42:38.399,2:42:46.160
meeting constantly cing presentation trying to
beat it all right after to ask just me that he's
2:42:46.160,2:42:51.240
the muffling from N I don't know what it is but
it sounds like you're under water and it seems
2:42:51.240,2:43:00.120
to be only me issue but it happens to no one else
yeah I'm not I'm not getting it and weird I feel
2:43:00.120,2:43:05.519
like there's a token not on this screen but no I
think that's every a mind issue it seems to only
2:43:05.520,2:43:13.680
happen to KN and no one else's microphone there
is a fundamental incompatibility uh with with
2:43:13.680,2:43:22.240
that after few minutes pass um and then a guard
kind of knocks on the carriage door and opens
2:43:22.240,2:43:33.240
it again and um says my lady second daughter
of kraak the and thess will see you now and
2:43:33.240,2:43:41.319
opens the door and a group of Dela guards has
uh formed up uh to make an honor guard for you
2:43:41.319,2:43:52.439
and lead you up uh the stairs into a wide Plaza
and then through a set of double doors and into
2:43:52.439,2:44:02.839
an enormous Throne Room hey um May taking
your weapons as we go in you have to remind
2:44:02.840,2:44:19.000

2:44:29.120,2:44:35.599
it while [ __ ] it we're doing a live map in
a while it really is I I did not make this map
2:44:35.600,2:44:47.160
myself this this was sourced at short notice well
[ __ ] s map um so uh um oh there's snacks on the
2:44:47.160,2:44:54.920
tables for as the doors are thrown open you are
LED forward into this vast uh throne room you
2:44:54.920,2:45:01.920
can see there are a number of figures kind of
Milling about um some of them look a little bit
2:45:01.920,2:45:09.160
BL eyed you notice one of them has a tunic that
looks like it's on backwards it looks like a few
2:45:09.160,2:45:18.559
members of the Court were kind of um dragged out
of bed at a late hour for this um in fact it is
2:45:18.560,2:45:28.200
it is later that shouldn't have gone so dark
let me fix the light up for that um Daytime
2:45:28.200,2:45:37.840
Nighttime Twilight speaking of that thing
have you guys seen like the um one of the
2:45:37.840,2:45:43.000
TV channels where it has like an send your kids
to bed thing where they put like a a person in
2:45:43.000,2:45:49.439
animal uh is this the one where there's a samel
Jackson reading to the kid I haven't heard that
2:45:49.439,2:45:58.559
before that's pretty funny at the very um sorry
I'm going to get back on track um at the very
2:45:58.560,2:46:09.840
uh end of this um throne room in a matching
set of stone Thrones you can see two figures
2:46:09.840,2:46:19.880
one you've met the sides generous is Mother
the other you would surmise from the finery
2:46:19.880,2:46:31.399
um of his robes uh and the Beautiful silver
crown set with with fist sized rubies is the
2:46:31.399,2:46:38.839
same his skin is Stone gray
2:46:38.840,2:46:49.560
interesting his eyes almost completely
white with no irises just pupils this
2:46:49.560,2:46:55.040
long long white beard gathered up with uh leather
2:46:55.040,2:47:01.160
thongs tying it into bunches and each
of those thongs set into it is another
2:47:01.160,2:47:07.080
Ruby is this a um is it a
2:47:07.080,2:47:20.680
Dro like the Dr dwarves is this Blaze asking or
zapjack asking um would Blaze recognize if this
2:47:20.680,2:47:29.920
was a not normal D this this is [Music] um this
is a thing it's perfectly normal this is a this
2:47:29.920,2:47:38.080
this this is a deep off but you would be aware
that this is a a group like a a a Heritage of
2:47:38.080,2:47:42.760
dwarves that that is present in this city you
have seen them around like they're not unusual
2:47:42.760,2:47:49.359
it's I am I'm divorcing them slight from
traditional law um so they you know they
2:47:49.359,2:47:54.000
are a part of the bloodline of this city
um as you make your way forward the eyes
2:47:54.000,2:48:02.439
kind of glower at you um although they
soften slightly when they look at gous
2:48:02.439,2:48:09.479
he speaks and his voice booms here almost as
loudly as guses did at the at the entrance to
2:48:09.479,2:48:15.160
karak Second daughter of
2:48:15.160,2:48:25.080
ra you have returned what
Tidings do you bring to your
2:48:25.080,2:48:40.359
thing good to see you father my my heart is
happy you oh well uh looking understated as
2:48:40.359,2:48:48.920
usual what do I bring from the
outside world uh everything's falling
2:48:48.920,2:49:02.800
apart we've come here is we believe a young girl
friend of ours is being kept somewhere beneath the
2:49:02.800,2:49:12.040
city um it should come on the
daughter can ant antagonize the
2:49:12.040,2:49:17.920
father um I definitely said
that so you could hear it
2:49:17.920,2:49:30.520
internally um I bought I don't want to call
them my no how would she say comrades bought
2:49:30.520,2:49:40.479
bought some colleagues to uh take below
we would like to request entrance to the
2:49:40.479,2:49:48.519
caverns as we believe that's where the young
girl is being held what where is Iris why is
2:49:48.520,2:49:59.560
she not here um as you you ask about Iris you
do see um a momentary expression of distress
2:49:59.560,2:50:10.000
on your father's face um he and there is
a murmur as well that rises from the um
2:50:10.000,2:50:19.560
uh from the surrounding kind of Court
um um but the thing continues he says
2:50:19.560,2:50:30.439
um nobody has been brought to the caverns except
for those who dive there for the good of our
2:50:30.439,2:50:38.160
city and Outsiders are not
permitted there I cannot Grant your
2:50:38.160,2:50:49.439
request good at the world that uh all of
these races live in in I believe someone
2:50:49.439,2:50:59.000
explain what's going on cuz I've forgotten
yeah um Dam's what's going on dragons but
2:50:59.000,2:51:03.760
turns out uh they're uh some people who are
coming to change the world into something
2:51:03.760,2:51:09.600
that will kill us all but will make them happy
because they want to be one with Papa nle or
2:51:09.600,2:51:21.160
something um up with a demon from demon
zapjack yeah yes the thing is making a
2:51:21.160,2:51:29.840
roll I am going to make that roll I don't
want to put one of the [ __ ] ones there
2:51:29.840,2:51:33.080
so let's make it 11 we'll save the real
bad ones when we want to make sure he
2:51:33.080,2:51:40.840
fails what's everybody's pass sorry I'm just
eating some dessert what's everybody's passive
2:51:40.840,2:51:47.120
insights I can probably find that insight
passive Insight is 15 passive investigation
2:51:47.120,2:51:53.599
is 21 yeah what's the difference between insight
and investigation and a passive thing is it what's
2:51:53.600,2:52:04.840
what's together just added to 10 as
in what is as in what is the narrative
2:52:04.840,2:52:10.200
difference between them oh no no no what how
do you work at your passive because the only
2:52:10.200,2:52:18.359
things that D plus Insight plus wisdom
we right oh I wonder right now thanks
2:52:18.359,2:52:29.239
MERS um what what what portent did you throw
at him at a 10 or 11 11 I have 11 a 10 and a
2:52:29.239,2:52:36.960
nine I'm or six I think six for when we really
need him to fail or for someone else to fail
2:52:36.960,2:52:53.840
cool so Blaze what I want you to tell me is you
um you saw a you saw a vision of the king trying
2:52:53.840,2:53:01.960
to lie about not seeing this girl um or not
trying to lie about Outsiders going below the
2:53:01.960,2:53:14.680
city but that didn't H but that didn't happen um
that lie um what's the best way to put this Nar
2:53:14.680,2:53:24.800
ly you saw a future where uh he he
successfully lied about that and you
2:53:24.800,2:53:30.399
were the only one that knew about it but
in actual fact there's a little glance a
2:53:30.399,2:53:37.599
little Shifty sideways glance I think most of
you get the feeling that maybe Outsiders have
2:53:37.600,2:53:44.520
been to the bottom of the cabin would Blaze he
probably wouldn't be an orph but maybe through
2:53:44.520,2:53:51.600
historical reading could kind of know what
like the the protocol for an entourage is
2:53:51.600,2:54:01.279
to like like slide a note to their leader
is um yeah sure as in you know the uh yeah
2:54:01.279,2:54:07.080
the the protocol for doing that in a way that
wouldn't cause offense um so you want to say
2:54:07.080,2:54:14.279
something to gemus I kind of give her a note
saying I have seen people enter the waters
2:54:16.040,2:54:23.519
sure you watch as Blaze kind of just Wiggles
his fingers slightly and a a parchment just
2:54:23.520,2:54:29.720
magically appears pressed digitat into place
just clears his throat slightly passes it to
2:54:29.720,2:54:36.239
gemus um Gus is going to cast
ascending directly into her
2:54:36.239,2:54:40.519
father's head mhm and say why are you lying about
2:54:40.520,2:54:47.200
this he wouldn't she wouldn't call
him out in front of these people
2:54:47.200,2:54:54.439
but he'll look at you for a
2:54:54.439,2:55:04.639
moment clear the throne room
I would talk with my daughter
2:55:04.640,2:55:17.120
alone you watch as um as the court
kind of shuffling out some with a
2:55:17.120,2:55:20.880
look of relief on their faces
I would imagine I asked if we
2:55:20.880,2:55:32.800
should um gous would prefer you to stay but if
King if the thing wants you to go then you've
2:55:32.800,2:55:41.120
got to go so well I'm asking you not him I'm it
quietly like step up to you and show like should
2:55:41.120,2:55:50.599
we go do you want us to stay just take a couple of
steps back and we'll see if he asks okay I I take
2:55:50.600,2:55:58.920
a few steps back and then I hide in the darkness
may just be a family things though well I'm gonna
2:55:58.920,2:56:04.479
hang back and see if he says something yeah I'll
say like a few steps behind as the rest of the
2:56:04.479,2:56:14.120
Court um finishes shuffling out do the guards stay
or any particular advisers the guards will stay
2:56:14.760,2:56:25.080
uh no advisor stay um the guards are unmoving and
rock solid behind the thing um like gols sorry do
2:56:25.080,2:56:29.680
they look like Golems uh they don't look like
Golems they look like something else that you
2:56:29.680,2:56:35.439
would probably be familiar with they uh uh they
look like um they look like forged no they're not
2:56:35.439,2:56:41.879
war forged um oh no sorry I met the game War Forge
they kind of reminded me of like the war forms
2:56:41.880,2:56:49.560
all right no so um another thing cuz we've never
really visited many Dela places in this campaign
2:56:49.560,2:56:55.840
uh another thing that they have uh is what they
call anointed they are they are they are Undead
2:56:55.840,2:57:03.680
um delvers who have sworn themselves into service
after their death they are mute they are silent
2:57:03.680,2:57:12.439
um uh they they they follow commands to the letter
um and they are formidable Warriors I also assume
2:57:12.439,2:57:19.359
they are technically dying they are they swear
themselves into service for a number of centuries
2:57:19.359,2:57:25.679
and then after that they are allowed to return to
the afterlife I also assume his mother's staying
2:57:25.680,2:57:31.439
his mother is staying the thess stays the th stays
and the guard stay so they they are loyal to the
2:57:31.439,2:57:38.439
family not to the king you would be aware that
they are loyal they're loyal to the family but
2:57:38.439,2:57:43.399
the family is the king ultimately last question
here to try to figure out how many people still
2:57:43.399,2:57:49.000
in the room H do the guards I know I assume you
meaning the four that are around the throne do
2:57:49.000,2:57:56.040
that include the two up in that walkway area it
does it does include them so it's basically every
2:57:56.040,2:58:06.439
uh four five six guards and two royalty yep and
us three yep gotcha good to know man need to put a
2:58:06.439,2:58:15.960
radius the thing stands and begins stepping
down from the di that approaches you
2:58:15.960,2:58:32.200
[Music] gous s that's all right is that the
duct Tails theme I honestly have no idea
2:58:32.200,2:58:44.720
Mak I'm measuring fireball ench bad I can quickly
react as she uh as he says um [ __ ] accidentally
2:58:44.720,2:58:52.319
fell there how do I remove that how dare you
question me I remove that in front of the
2:58:52.319,2:58:59.040
court if AR I didn't I spoke it
into his head through sending
2:58:59.040,2:59:07.399
yeah you still question my
2:59:07.399,2:59:14.839
authority never question your
Authority father question your
2:59:14.840,2:59:20.160
reasoning you would do well not
2:59:20.160,2:59:32.359
to the dandak family have protected this Cavern
for centuries and I will not Sher from my duty
2:59:32.359,2:59:43.839
now am I no longer a member of the the cond
family have I been written from the Scrolls
2:59:45.720,2:59:50.560
I had thought you had written yourself from
the Scrolls spent so much time in the above
2:59:50.560,3:00:06.279
world just have different ways of looking
at the world you see pain and hatred I see
3:00:06.279,3:00:17.559
Love and Friendship couldn't live the way
you wanted me to [Music] what's going on
3:00:17.560,3:00:21.640
with Iris why why will no one answer any of
my questions she should have been here to
3:00:21.640,3:00:33.319
GRE me this your mother steps forward from the
throne and you can see um uh tears well in her
3:00:33.319,3:00:41.399
eyes I was hoping on was someone answer
the questions I was hoping that you had
3:00:41.399,3:00:48.839
would bring tidings we' hoped that she
had left to find you to Journey with
3:00:48.840,3:00:54.680
you that she had left in the way that you
did without leaving word you have not seen
3:00:54.680,3:01:05.120
her have not seen best daughter for months
since last last time last time I ventured
3:01:05.120,3:01:16.200
home when when did she go missing what's a month
3:01:16.200,3:01:22.559
passed she left without leaving
any word of her plans or her
3:01:22.560,3:01:31.680
destination uh I'm going to try a
fourth fourth level sending to Iris
3:01:31.680,3:01:39.680
out of character would know Blaze could SC
only if he's got something of hers though
3:01:39.680,3:01:59.239
right or a picture a room here yeah yeah hair
ring um ring well anything wow wow um okay
3:01:59.239,3:02:13.000
um just because I rolled for it and I rolled
a natural one um you again get that sense that
3:02:13.000,3:02:23.680
not the truth is not entirely being spoken when
the thing says um she left without leaving any
3:02:23.680,3:02:36.120
word well I know that I know he's talking
[ __ ] you would get a sense that this is
3:02:36.120,3:02:41.239
the first time he's shown emotion it's
being all Bluster now he's beginning to
3:02:41.239,3:02:47.439
soften a little bit talking about um iris's
disappearance and you get a sense that he's
3:02:47.439,3:02:51.919
not being entirely truthful when he
says um she left without sending any
3:02:51.920,3:03:00.359
word been gone from you for a while
father and I've learned some things
3:03:00.359,3:03:06.040
you're lying again what are you
hiding why why would you be why
3:03:06.040,3:03:13.479
would you be doing this these These
are this is a prerogative of a thing
3:03:15.520,3:03:20.439
to say what must be said you would
understand this had you attended your
3:03:20.439,3:03:32.559
lessons she's your daughter she's first
daughter she's a to the throne and the
3:03:32.560,3:03:43.480
gods of the Gods of kandak seek for her and I'm
confident that the gods will return her to us
3:03:44.080,3:03:52.720
like us not she's gone wandering she's
thrown in with never do Wells like you
3:03:52.720,3:04:06.040
did sometimes we do well I'd like I'd
like to look for her myself I don't I
3:04:06.040,3:04:13.399
don't put as much faith in the guards
as you do I've seen them take bribes
3:04:17.239,3:04:19.920
hle the the small folk in the in the outlying
3:04:19.920,3:04:25.880
Villages someone paid them
enough they would keep Iris
3:04:25.880,3:04:32.760
away you truly think the guards would defy my
3:04:32.760,3:04:39.160
authority my control over this city is absolute it
3:04:39.160,3:04:43.359
is written in the blood and
the Adoration of our people
3:04:46.800,3:04:47.399
you is that
3:04:47.399,3:04:57.519
Birthright afraid to tell you that the
Adoration only gets you so far well at
3:04:57.520,3:05:06.000
least you've learned one thing because where
adoration falls short fear will bridge the
3:05:06.000,3:05:15.680
gap here is not something you can
push on your people we will only
3:05:15.680,3:05:26.200
fight back has been our hold fast our
fam's hold fast for hundreds of years
3:05:26.200,3:05:31.120
and you think we have that because
the people do not respect and fear
3:05:31.120,3:05:43.279
us why is fear the default setting for
you why not adoration or Joy or love
3:05:48.600,3:05:57.960
Joy is out there to be found in small
measures but it will not win you battles
3:05:57.960,3:06:02.920
it will not protect your family will
not keep your children safe or your
3:06:02.920,3:06:07.359
subjects adoration is
3:06:07.359,3:06:13.200
fickle
3:06:16.800,3:06:26.520
he's going to stare over his shoulder
she's given up and she'll stare deep
3:06:26.520,3:06:33.439
into her mother's eyes and just say you're
not mother I'll find her as you're staring
3:06:33.439,3:06:43.200
at her you see when the scene says adoration is
fickle you see the pain in your mother's eyes
3:06:47.160,3:06:55.319
the same says or prepare a state room for you your
3:06:55.319,3:07:08.960
entourage but they require quarters stabling
they can staing they can stay with me give
3:07:08.960,3:07:16.160
me one of the larger rooms in the Eastern
wing I will stay as far away from you as
3:07:16.160,3:07:21.200
possible I'm sure you will not object to a guard
3:07:21.200,3:07:28.559
being stationed outside your room for
your he glances over the rest of you
3:07:28.560,3:07:33.600
protection guards adore me as well don't I
3:07:33.600,3:07:46.040
father very well I hope you find your stay in
3:07:46.040,3:08:00.000
dandak a happy and joyous one
um what is the th's um animal
3:08:00.000,3:08:12.560
companion I would assume he has a weasel or
a sto um as the thing turns to walk back to
3:08:12.560,3:08:22.080
the throne you can see kind of curled up
on it this kind of long um uh uh uh rodent
3:08:22.080,3:08:30.279
like body that kind of glimmers with a slight
incorporeality very similar to Gus's Badger
3:08:30.279,3:08:35.040
and as he approach it kind of jumps up and
scurries around just curls a couple of times
3:08:35.040,3:08:39.040
like the tail is so long and fluffy it almost
makes a circle as it scurries around on the
3:08:39.040,3:08:43.000
throne a couple of times before leaping
kind of just claing and scurrying up to
3:08:43.000,3:08:52.600
rape around the king's neck or the thing's
neck almost like an hermine sash um as he
3:08:52.600,3:09:00.680
sits Evin I can smell you from here and Gus will
3:09:00.680,3:09:06.200
turn and Say Goodbye father mother
I hope to see you again while some
3:09:06.200,3:09:15.239
here uh we shall take tea that would be
3:09:15.239,3:09:20.080
lovely as the guards form
3:09:20.080,3:09:26.519
up your father theth speaks
3:09:26.520,3:09:30.880
again and
3:09:30.880,3:09:38.239
says it is by decree of the
3:09:38.239,3:09:46.960
thing that I forbid your group
from entering the crystal
3:09:46.960,3:09:54.920
Cavern we are its protectors no others shall Sul
3:09:54.920,3:09:59.520
it second daughter of
3:09:59.520,3:10:11.760
kandra you are to take no further
part in investigations into iris's
3:10:11.760,3:10:20.359
whereabouts my guard will find the first
daughter and return her to her rightful
3:10:20.359,3:10:35.599
place what father escort them to the West
Wing I really wish I could subtle spell
3:10:35.600,3:10:39.640
like this um detect magic or something
I was really hoping there'd be like a
3:10:39.640,3:10:43.200
legal loophole in what he just said if
someone had already broken it like it
3:10:43.200,3:10:48.679
would count anymore but like it's not there
I'm thinking the dude's being threatened or
3:10:48.680,3:10:58.960
controlled you as we walk out just sort of
mutters I'm the princess of the crystal Cavin
3:10:58.960,3:11:08.800
he'll be okay got a rebellious my theories are
in chat my theories are in chat the guard uh
3:11:08.800,3:11:13.840
uh two of the guards peel off from uh around
the throne and they move to to to kind of uh
3:11:13.840,3:11:22.520
bracket your group and lead you um through a
door uh to what you would imagine is the West
3:11:22.520,3:11:31.399
um you go through a series of um well-appointed
hallways beautifully intricate stone work every
3:11:31.399,3:11:36.960
third or fourth buttress you can see the
crest of karak inscribed into the the the
3:11:36.960,3:11:45.800
stone itself um and eventually you do reach um
you reach a sweet uh they throw the door open
3:11:45.800,3:11:52.399
and as the door is thrown open you see two Dela
women frantically kind of bundling up the last
3:11:52.399,3:11:57.319
of a couple of sheets that have been thrown over
the sum of the furniture here and as they see ug
3:11:57.319,3:12:01.880
they kind of bow and move backwards and they bow
again and they kind of one of them almost Tangles
3:12:01.880,3:12:06.880
up in the sheet that she's holding she stops and
she bows again and just keeps her head like down
3:12:06.880,3:12:20.120
tip I'm asking J to tip oh right uh no
that's fine they get paid a good wedge
3:12:20.120,3:12:28.479
oh $15 an hour or [Laughter] something
like that I mean have they heard this
3:12:28.479,3:12:36.359
inflation do you want fries with
[Laughter] that Dela women right
3:12:36.359,3:12:42.639
yes they are yep actually one of them
uh one of them is a noome surprising
3:12:46.160,3:12:52.920
a gnome inside the castle what is
the place coming to I'm not saying
3:12:52.920,3:12:58.479
that that's just that's playing me um J
is gonna bend down and stare at Eve the
3:12:58.479,3:13:07.120
badger just look at him deep in the eyes and
say I find one of my old friends come stop
3:13:07.120,3:13:15.720
by uh the badger looks up at you and
then turns and begins to trot down the
3:13:15.720,3:13:21.800
corridor and one of the guards kind of moves
as if to Interceptor and she the badger just
3:13:21.800,3:13:30.359
disappears you make your way into the
suite and the the the maids you look
3:13:30.359,3:13:35.279
almost relieved as they kind of scurry
out and move past the guards and um it's
3:13:35.279,3:13:41.000
a beautifully appointed room that you've been
put up in um there like it's a three-bedroom
3:13:41.000,3:13:49.120
Suite it's quite large um but you can smell
that nobody has been in here for a long time
3:13:49.120,3:13:59.920
um you spread out and uh take an opportunity to
rest and recuperate here and um how big is the
3:13:59.920,3:14:08.720
room and is there any like other entrances or
exits by the door uh there is there is a small
3:14:08.720,3:14:15.760
uh there is a small dining room there is a large
kind of drawing / Lounge room um there is there
3:14:15.760,3:14:24.880
is a bathroom off to one side with a uh with a
privy um and and a large a large metal bath that
3:14:24.880,3:14:30.359
looks as if it could be um filled and heated you
can see you can see there's a stone block Senter
3:14:30.359,3:14:35.399
underneath it that that has some vague kind of
black marks on it that looks like once at one
3:14:35.399,3:14:42.439
stage of fire had been set there to heat it um and
then there's three bedrooms and each of those bed
3:14:42.439,3:14:52.559
bedrooms is probably a good 20 25 ft to a side
like this is a large and well appointed Suite in
3:14:52.560,3:15:00.359
the entrance is this one door just one door for
the entrance yes I said alarm on it ritual wise
3:15:00.359,3:15:12.399
okay I might have to call it there fellas yeah we
can and wrap up y um have you got two minutes yes
3:15:13.520,3:15:35.640
sure Blaze yes you suddenly feel an odd sensation
just this kind of this mental twinge very rapidly
3:15:35.640,3:15:44.199
you realize it is your alarm spell already
let's say this happens a couple of hours later
3:15:44.199,3:15:47.880
okay still that's kind of quick it's a couple
hours later that there's something I wanted to
3:15:47.880,3:15:54.520
do in the meantime that was sort of relevant
maybe uh what is that I I wanted to um look
3:15:54.520,3:16:01.600
for secret entrances to to the place all right
roll investigation check as does that um Blaze
3:16:01.600,3:16:06.239
basically writes out a list of things he could
do to maybe help gemus on there is Arcane ey
3:16:06.239,3:16:15.279
and scry sure um give gem an idea of what blade
can do to help in this you hear a muff you hear
3:16:15.279,3:16:23.359
a muffled voice from outside uh and you hear
in those of you who speak Dev go on get out go
3:16:23.359,3:16:29.479
on and then there's a scratching at the door for
3:16:29.479,3:16:31.399
a second I wasn't sure if you
were talking to your pets or
3:16:31.399,3:16:44.080
[Music] us uh J will open the
door uh uh your Badger is right
3:16:44.080,3:16:53.279
there how do I talk to him can I just talk
I'll just I'll cast um talk to animals and
3:16:53.279,3:17:02.359
I'll just here you go find anyone um
bad is not generally very talkative
3:17:02.359,3:17:08.479
you just you just get a sense of um of
curiosity and the beder trots through the
3:17:08.479,3:17:24.120
door and then a moment later um kind of
coalescing from the stone itself you see
3:17:24.120,3:17:35.160
a second kind of Quasi Caporal animal
forming uh looks like a a fox one of
3:17:35.160,3:17:43.160
those fenic foxes with the big big ears
nice the alarm Bell that well that that
3:17:43.160,3:17:51.080
is what the alarm spell was pinging
for yeah right um and once the door is
3:17:51.080,3:17:59.840
shut this fenic fox kind of sits back
on its haunches and sniffs the air for a
3:17:59.840,3:18:16.279
moment and then you watch as light begins to swirl
around it and a moment later where the fox was a
3:18:16.279,3:18:25.279
tall purple skinned elen figure stance
3:18:25.279,3:18:32.080

3:19:16.760,3:19:21.359
order cuz your sister is in
3:19:21.359,3:19:33.679

3:20:20.520,3:20:27.399
session guys um I I look it wasn't completely
unplanned I had some ideas about ker I I knew
3:20:27.399,3:20:31.960
that you were leaning towards that direction so
I did I did have a little bit of stuff prepped
3:20:31.960,3:20:37.760
um do you do uh uh n do you care about the names
of your parents cuz I actually had names in my um
3:20:37.760,3:20:42.560

going on there is [ __ ] amazing yeah I thought
3:20:56.479,3:21:01.319
you'd like it I thought you like it here's the
thing you give me a knife I'm gon to stab you in
3:21:01.319,3:21:07.920
the back with it it it can I get the spelling
on those yes you can get this you can get the
3:21:07.920,3:21:14.319
spelling of them very very shortly um I'm going
to bank that investigation check for next session
3:21:14.319,3:21:20.040
for looking for secret entrances um but um
thank you all for a great session thank you
3:21:20.040,3:21:24.519
for listening to me at the start I think cross
talk was way better today and I think we we all
3:21:24.520,3:21:30.600
worked together very well especially because
Gus is not normally a big talker but this uh
3:21:30.600,3:21:38.479
this particular Arc is really um is really going
to focus things um down on um Gus's backstory and
3:21:38.479,3:21:45.479
also what's going on deep in the waters below I
think part of it that was actually written out
3:21:45.479,3:21:51.559
yeah that's what we said when you on braak
like who's not back n's not back he's madly
3:21:51.560,3:22:00.520
typing um if you s Gus at all like want Blazers
help he has a fair few different divination spells
3:22:00.520,3:22:06.680
he can use like Arc and I to like Scout around
different places in cond and um scry to find
3:22:06.680,3:22:14.359
your sister and a few other Miss I mean we'll
definitely go down that track get the feeling
3:22:14.359,3:22:22.799
in a Royal place like this there'd be like anti-
mes right stop that sort of [ __ ] I imagine it
3:22:22.800,3:22:28.479
be like permanent like defense magical defenses
or Wards as like all I have to I have to ask a
3:22:28.479,3:22:35.839
question I Blaze can maybe tell that with a high
enough AR check I have to I have to ask a question
3:22:35.840,3:22:44.880
um and this is asking the players I feel like
I've dropped a lot of hints about what is under
3:22:44.880,3:22:54.279
this city I want to say it's the illness Sophia's
sister has maybe anybody else well that crystals
3:22:54.279,3:23:00.160
are similar same with the crystals we found that
one dude in cased in um so they've been trying to
3:23:00.160,3:23:05.559
wake something up and find a place to like pull it
through and I'm thinking like they' found another
3:23:05.560,3:23:10.439
place here for that since we stopped them at the
last place it's all it's all about water planes
3:23:10.439,3:23:18.719
this [ __ ] half right yeah so my and my home
City just happens to be on a [ __ ] giant leg
3:23:18.720,3:23:24.199
that they were not allowed to go who knew that it
would be moist down below don't you don't you go
3:23:24.199,3:23:29.399
to the bottom of that [ __ ] leg don't you dare
I want to awaken the monster at the bottom of the
3:23:29.399,3:23:37.839
RO it is it is the duty of the royal family of
dandak to ensure that nobody goes to the bottom
3:23:37.840,3:23:45.040
of the lake to protect to protect their people
they know oh yeah they [ __ ] certainly know all
3:23:45.040,3:23:52.720
right well very interesting um hang on a sec um
just just well ddge because that was a that was
3:23:52.720,3:24:00.160
really good role play no worries it was a nice
return to session no bug down combat to get us
3:24:00.160,3:24:06.559
up to snu with our characters we can do that next
session see another side of didn't do any combat
3:24:06.560,3:24:12.080
yeah no there was Zero combat I mean I had like
I had there were stat blocks there like I was not
3:24:12.080,3:24:18.000
unconvinced you wouldn't just destroy the dwarves
in that car put it this way I was prepared to put
3:24:18.000,3:24:24.960
up wall of force and or Fireball your parents
and their guards I was prepared to knock your
3:24:24.960,3:24:29.680
your parents out because I don't want to kill
them because they're your parents doesn't really
3:24:29.680,3:24:35.800
have any easily to not kill he can disintegrate
your father or like burn everyone there you kind
3:24:35.800,3:24:43.760
of have to choose two I think you'd make it
out of here out of a royal i' prefer to make
3:24:43.760,3:24:48.399
whole probably not especially after he used his
[ __ ] teleport that he tries to keep for you
3:24:48.399,3:24:54.080
know retreating I assume every one of those
rubies that he has [ __ ] sewn into probably
3:24:54.080,3:25:04.120
Enchanted [ __ ] yeah exactly many patches but
they're gems he's he's yeah he's not a yeah he's
3:25:04.120,3:25:13.640
a strong capable leader he's bit of a death and is
very [ __ ] paranoid m what does he know that he
3:25:13.640,3:25:20.920
feels he needs to be parado about well I really
wish I could like sub subtle spelled umch magic
3:25:20.920,3:25:27.680
