157. Distant Fractures

[00:00:01] Speaker A: Our recording. [00:00:03] Speaker B: Welcome back to Barely DND d, your Sorta Dungeons and Dragons podcast. I'm your resident bard, Jackie, and we are back with, hopefully, a fun episode. It's session two, so maybe we'll have session two. Energy. Sorry, I don't know. Yeah, that's the tea. [00:00:27] Speaker C: Sorry. Listen, we all have various medical conditions, and we're just having conversations about deep philosophy and theology before this. And the energy's real mellow right now. Don't worry, we'll bring back the hot tiger. Micah has a letter question. [00:00:43] Speaker D: I don't know if we've already asked this, but Luke told me that I'm pretty sure that Diddy got four years in jail, and that is a great. [00:00:56] Speaker E: Way to start the letter to question girl. [00:01:00] Speaker B: In honor of that. [00:01:03] Speaker E: In honor of that. [00:01:04] Speaker C: If your character was gonna convict Diddy, how long would they make his sentence? [00:01:12] Speaker D: What kind of crime would your character. [00:01:14] Speaker B: Commit that would land in jail? [00:01:17] Speaker E: We've committed so many crimes, Micah. [00:01:20] Speaker D: What? [00:01:20] Speaker C: No, this is a five star crime. [00:01:23] Speaker D: That we would commit that would get her character in jail. And what would their reason be? [00:01:30] Speaker A: Micah, that's so good. [00:01:31] Speaker D: Have we done that before? [00:01:33] Speaker C: I don't think so. [00:01:34] Speaker D: I already. Can I start? Can I start? [00:01:38] Speaker C: I'll go and then Greta can go. [00:01:40] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:01:41] Speaker D: I don't know if this is enough to get someone in jail. A public urination. [00:01:50] Speaker C: Micah, inspiration. Oh, this is a good start. Okay, great start, Micah. Wow, you're on fire. You really delivered with that episode too. I like it. Oh, we are circling a piss of this right now. Public urination. [00:02:06] Speaker F: I feel it. [00:02:06] Speaker C: I don't even need an explanation. No notes. Greta, go get them. [00:02:12] Speaker F: Credits would be public intoxication, but it wouldn't be from alcohol. She would just take two many mushrooms and she would go real loopy. [00:02:22] Speaker D: And that. [00:02:23] Speaker F: She. They just. [00:02:24] Speaker D: They like. [00:02:25] Speaker F: It would probably be a situation like, oh, she's done this before. We'll just put her in a cell and she'll be better in two days. [00:02:33] Speaker C: They have. They have Greta special tranq darts. [00:02:37] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:02:39] Speaker A: All right. [00:02:42] Speaker C: Rock. [00:02:43] Speaker B: I think we know what mine would be. I think it would either be. I think it would either be stealing something or protesting. [00:02:53] Speaker D: I was gonna say that. [00:02:54] Speaker B: Yeah, she'd be a protester that we get. That would get taken. [00:03:00] Speaker F: Puts people in jail for protesting. That's crazy. [00:03:05] Speaker D: Whoa. [00:03:06] Speaker B: Political. [00:03:07] Speaker C: We think putting protesters in jail is bad, but. [00:03:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I think she would either do that, or it would be like she. [00:03:16] Speaker E: She stole from the wrong person. [00:03:18] Speaker B: Finally. But let's be honest. Ro would evade capture from A. From a. From a Yallibrund police officer. She'd sneak. [00:03:28] Speaker D: Not if it was that tiger boy. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Oh, she'd flirt her way out. [00:03:32] Speaker E: She'd flirt her way out. [00:03:34] Speaker B: She'd be like, officer, oh no, Tony the Tiger. [00:03:38] Speaker C: Don't put me in handcuff. [00:03:45] Speaker G: My good friends. [00:03:46] Speaker B: You guys are the worst. [00:03:48] Speaker E: I'm. I'm supposed to be the bard and. [00:03:50] Speaker C: All three of y' all are Tony the Tiger for you all forever. [00:03:53] Speaker B: You really have. [00:03:56] Speaker C: You all did not give me a dmnpc. [00:03:58] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh. Goober. I really want to know what he'd get put in jail for. [00:04:04] Speaker A: I mean, what could he get? [00:04:05] Speaker C: I. I don't know. [00:04:07] Speaker A: I'm not trying to be. [00:04:07] Speaker C: What would Goober go to jail for? What? [00:04:09] Speaker A: For us? [00:04:10] Speaker B: He'd probably go to jail for the fun guys. For some reason. He'd like, protest for the fun guys to get out of jail. [00:04:16] Speaker A: I don't think so. [00:04:17] Speaker H: Really Think about it. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Would you do anything for you all? Yeah, but would his brain ever go there? Like, if you guys were in jail? [00:04:24] Speaker H: He'd be like, I'm going to go have a conversation with the people I know, you know? [00:04:27] Speaker B: Yeah, but then they put him in jail. [00:04:30] Speaker D: I know. I think that he would have found like a really beautiful, beautiful piece of like, nature and he would have like, explored it and would have gone on private property or something like that and just accidentally wandered into like a crime of ignorance super governmental place. [00:04:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I can see Goober going down for a crime of ignorance. I feel that. [00:04:52] Speaker D: Ain't no way, tiger breath. [00:05:00] Speaker C: Oh, it's a good thing Landon's not. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Here for this one. [00:05:02] Speaker C: All right. [00:05:06] Speaker H: Okay. [00:05:07] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, I feel it. [00:05:09] Speaker H: I feel it. [00:05:10] Speaker C: I honestly can't think of anything thing, so I will go with crimes of ignorance. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Cuz I don't know. [00:05:16] Speaker C: He's just so wildly empathetic. [00:05:18] Speaker A: I don't know who he would cross. [00:05:20] Speaker I: So. [00:05:22] Speaker D: He just lets handle and it burns too long. [00:05:27] Speaker C: What? [00:05:28] Speaker B: No, that's what Craig did in the wood. [00:05:33] Speaker C: Again, no trees. So the session when he burned down. [00:05:38] Speaker B: The woods, y', all, what woods did he burn down? Like, way in the beginning. [00:05:46] Speaker C: Constantly putting trees in my story. There's no tree there. [00:05:51] Speaker E: To be fair, I wasn't there, so. [00:05:53] Speaker B: I was just picturing trees. This is. [00:05:55] Speaker C: This is like. This is like. If I had a nickel for every single time my characters wrote into the story trees that weren't there, I'd have seven nickels, which isn't that much, but it's weird. [00:06:03] Speaker A: It's happened seven times. [00:06:04] Speaker C: Why does this keep happening? There wasn't a tree outside of port Responding saw. There aren't any in the field you're in. There was never a full freestanding tree in the bottom of the port bed. How do we keep coming here? Anywho? [00:06:16] Speaker B: I can't. You made us this way. [00:06:20] Speaker E: You made us this way with all your tree talk. [00:06:25] Speaker D: What? [00:06:26] Speaker C: You made us this way. Okay, here's the episode two Energy Listener. We're gonna capitalize on it. Note taking. This is episode 157 of the Accidental Adventures. [00:06:40] Speaker A: Distant Fractures. [00:06:44] Speaker B: That's a treat. [00:06:45] Speaker C: Oh, that's sick, Jackie. That's so cool. Is that a 3D printed charm for your bracelet of the maker symbol? [00:06:51] Speaker B: No, it can't. It would. No. [00:06:55] Speaker D: Oh, it's a tree. [00:06:56] Speaker B: It's a tree. [00:06:57] Speaker E: That's why I was showing it to you. [00:06:58] Speaker C: It's blurry on the camera. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Okay, moving on. [00:07:00] Speaker C: I was going to Distant Fractures for the no taking nerds. I don't know. Somebody probably wants to write that down. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Distant who? Say that again. I'm so sorry. Distance. The friendship bracelet has a tree charm on it and says vapid winch. [00:07:18] Speaker A: I still love that. It's vapid winch. [00:07:20] Speaker B: I'm gonna get it tattooed on it. I'm gonna get. It just hasn't happened yet. Yeah, I don't know If I'm level. [00:07:26] Speaker C: 14 adventure right now. 3048 PB Sihadron 32 of Beckon Topep. [00:07:36] Speaker D: Right? [00:07:39] Speaker E: Oh, my favorite day. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Such a mess. [00:07:43] Speaker H: All right. [00:07:45] Speaker B: Hold on. See, Hadron 32 is. [00:07:48] Speaker A: Topep is back on the 31st. I mean, I appreciate having players complicated, but it's also painful. [00:07:57] Speaker B: I will fight you. [00:07:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I feel it. So. [00:08:02] Speaker A: Party. We return. [00:08:04] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:08:06] Speaker C: Okay. [00:08:06] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:08:07] Speaker C: We return to. That's okay. We return to. I don't know why Midnight Wanderer is louder than all the other songs, so feel free to adjust. Kenko, on your left. But fun guys, it's the morning of the 32nd, the day after killing Count. [00:08:26] Speaker A: Darren Al Gweed and his forces. [00:08:31] Speaker C: You all awake because a loud and honestly vocally abrasive tiger man from outside of the hut just sort of like. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Calls to you all and says something along the lines of. [00:08:49] Speaker I: Good morning, fun guys. The. The sun has been in the sky for a while now. It is. It's time to get walking. Hopefully you all slept very good. We should go back to where I live. If that is. Is that way. We're gonna walk. Okay. [00:09:12] Speaker B: How far she wait? Ro wakes up and the hut's down now, right? [00:09:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Ro you wake up, oh, that sun. [00:09:22] Speaker A: Is high in the sky. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Sorry. We don't usually sleep this late. But, you know, after killing a couple of guys. [00:09:31] Speaker I: That's why you blew a guy up yesterday? Yeah. You probably need to sleep a while. I feel you. [00:09:36] Speaker B: How far? How far walk is it? [00:09:40] Speaker I: It's not far. It's probably all together. Like a day and a half, maybe two days, depending on how quickly you are walk. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Okay. [00:09:52] Speaker I: It can be a little hard to say, but it is going to be around that sort of a distance and time. [00:09:59] Speaker B: Do you want to fly there? [00:10:02] Speaker A: I can't. [00:10:03] Speaker I: Oh, that's why you are. No. You're not a druid? [00:10:06] Speaker B: Kind of. [00:10:07] Speaker I: But I'm like half sure if you want to. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:15] Speaker B: Okay. Dm. Do I know if the giant eagles that we turn into, is he gonna be able to carry this guy? Because he's really big. [00:10:28] Speaker C: How many people are you turning? [00:10:30] Speaker D: If it was me, I wouldn't be on there. [00:10:34] Speaker B: Why? [00:10:35] Speaker D: Because I have Godspeed. [00:10:38] Speaker C: Oh. How long does it last, Craig? [00:10:41] Speaker A: Let me look at these big metal wings. [00:10:46] Speaker C: It's an hour. [00:10:49] Speaker D: No, it's. I don't see where it says a time. [00:10:56] Speaker A: It should give you a time duration. [00:10:59] Speaker D: I do not see one. [00:11:02] Speaker A: Well, that doesn't mean you don't kill one. [00:11:05] Speaker D: You may likewise use a bonus action to dismiss these wings and return to its inner state. It gives me a fly speed of 60ft. [00:11:16] Speaker A: I swear, Pat, if you've done this again. [00:11:20] Speaker D: There'S no time on it. [00:11:22] Speaker C: I've done it again. You have got to be kidding. [00:11:27] Speaker E: Again. [00:11:36] Speaker C: Choose, Micah. [00:11:39] Speaker D: I feel more comfortable. Well, what would I roll? [00:11:44] Speaker C: We are determining whether or not you. [00:11:46] Speaker A: Have it for 10 minutes or an hour. Both are really strong. [00:11:50] Speaker D: Okay, I'm going to. I'm going to leave that one up to you. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Okay. So it gives you a 70 foot fly speed. 60 advantage on dexterity, saving throws, which is very strong. [00:12:05] Speaker C: Does it do anything else? [00:12:05] Speaker A: I mean, those two things are very strong. [00:12:09] Speaker D: I know that. Hey. Proficient in acrobatics and proficiency in acrobatics while they're out. [00:12:17] Speaker C: Wow. [00:12:18] Speaker A: I'll say 10 minutes. 10 minutes. It's up for 10 minutes. [00:12:21] Speaker D: No way. [00:12:22] Speaker F: Really? [00:12:22] Speaker D: 10 minutes? [00:12:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:26] Speaker D: Yeah, I guess in combat, that's a long time. [00:12:28] Speaker C: A minute in a round of combat is 10 rounds of combat. One minute. So that's 100 rounds of combat. [00:12:36] Speaker D: Okay, then we're good for combat. [00:12:38] Speaker F: Okay. [00:12:39] Speaker C: Most spells have a duration of one minute. [00:12:43] Speaker D: I should have done the role. [00:12:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:46] Speaker C: Here we are. So if you wouldn't mind tippity typing. [00:12:51] Speaker H: That for your own night. [00:12:53] Speaker B: I haven't. [00:12:53] Speaker D: Do you think I should do that? I wrote it down. [00:12:59] Speaker B: We haven't ever been to where we're going, right? [00:13:02] Speaker A: No. [00:13:03] Speaker B: Okay. [00:13:05] Speaker C: Are you going to transform people? [00:13:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:09] Speaker D: I feel. [00:13:10] Speaker C: Oh. I never answered your question, Jackie. One giant eagle could certainly carry him, though it would have trouble carrying him and other people. [00:13:17] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:13:20] Speaker D: Do you. [00:13:22] Speaker B: I mean, we can't fly there the whole time, but it would get us quite a bit of ways. You know, it would. It would give us a boost. Do you want to be a giant eagle? Would you like to try that? He asks. [00:13:37] Speaker I: I've never been a big eagle. Would you like a lot of fun? [00:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:13:44] Speaker I: I want to be a big eagle. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Okay. And then you could carry like one or two people. [00:13:49] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:51] Speaker B: Okay. So me, you and everything will. [00:13:53] Speaker A: Feet. [00:13:55] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You'll have. You're all. You're all. All of you will be eagle. And all your stuff you're carrying, it'll just morph into you. [00:14:05] Speaker I: That sounds good. I like that. [00:14:06] Speaker B: Okay, so me, I'll turn myself and him into one. And can we assume that boss just. [00:14:14] Speaker C: And boss wild shapes. [00:14:16] Speaker B: Yeah. And then I say, okay, are you ready? And she turns him into one. [00:14:24] Speaker C: Okay. Excellent. Complicated scaling riff on soul mender or songs. [00:14:33] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:14:36] Speaker C: And he erupts into this. He turns into this. If you guys know what a red. [00:14:40] Speaker A: Shouldered hawk looks like. That. [00:14:42] Speaker C: It looks like that wing that like feather pelage. Everyone gave me the face of a. [00:14:46] Speaker A: Polite smile but not knowing. [00:14:48] Speaker C: You should google red shouldered hawk. They have beautiful color pelage. And it's like that, but on the. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Size of an eagle. [00:14:53] Speaker C: And so he lets out a cool piercing cries. Because hawks are the ones that actually make that cry, not eagles. And eagles make weird noises too, Craig. You just get snatched and you are ripped off of the ground. And Ro then transforms into one. And Tello climbs aboard and Boz wild shapes and Greta climbs aboard him. And you all just tear off into the wilderness. And you can see that. I mean, you all are flying through the sky at a great speed. [00:15:26] Speaker A: And you are following. [00:15:28] Speaker C: You can see there are a set of tiger dude footprints that this guy. [00:15:32] Speaker A: Is following for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. [00:15:35] Speaker C: And miles and miles. Good thing there was no fresh snowfall because there's nothing to disturb them. [00:15:40] Speaker A: They're just here. [00:15:41] Speaker C: And you all fly for. What's the duration of polymorph? [00:15:45] Speaker H: It's an hour. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Hour. [00:15:47] Speaker A: Yes. [00:15:48] Speaker C: Very long lasting spell. You all fly an hour and then you set down. Yeah. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Micah. [00:15:57] Speaker C: Oh, I Thought you were laughing at something. [00:16:00] Speaker I: Oh. [00:16:00] Speaker A: Why are you Sad? [00:16:02] Speaker D: Mine's only 10 minutes. [00:16:04] Speaker C: Do you want to roll for it? [00:16:06] Speaker A: No. [00:16:07] Speaker C: Okay. Odds or evens? [00:16:11] Speaker D: Odds. [00:16:12] Speaker C: You've. [00:16:12] Speaker A: You've asked for so little in this campaign. [00:16:15] Speaker C: You know, I mean, no slander, but Landon asked me for the one thing he's only ever gonna ask Marine. He'll never ask for me again. About every four episodes. But you've never asked for anything in this campaign, so I want to respect that. So you said odds. Yeah, all the 13. Okay. So it's an hour. It's an incredibly. Man, you guys have the strongest items in the world. Okay, so after an hour, you guys land and you've. You guys re transform back into yourselves in Tirard lands. Also for the note taking nerds. [00:16:51] Speaker B: His name spell it. [00:16:53] Speaker C: I mean so that is T I R A R D Tirad R A I D T I R A R. [00:17:02] Speaker A: D. [00:17:09] Speaker C: J E A N J E A N Dash dash bonafet B O N A B O N A F. [00:17:21] Speaker A: F E T T E. [00:17:26] Speaker C: Yeah, looks. [00:17:27] Speaker D: Like fancy word for turn. Dry turn. [00:17:33] Speaker F: Hey, Toad. [00:17:35] Speaker D: Hi. [00:17:38] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:17:42] Speaker C: So you all retransform and he lands and he goes. [00:17:49] Speaker I: Wow, that was really incredible. [00:17:52] Speaker C: Wow. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it's pretty fun. Did you say you're a druid? [00:18:00] Speaker I: No, no, I'm in the conclave. [00:18:02] Speaker A: I. [00:18:03] Speaker I: So druid circles, we. I'm from the lichen alliance and in older times aligning to the. To these. To the shade ages. I don't know how are you at with your history? [00:18:14] Speaker B: But yeah, we know. [00:18:16] Speaker A: We know a little bit was. [00:18:19] Speaker I: I don't know, you know. But onsen was a very dangerous place to be. And there were druid circles that formed to protect the people lived in and around the woods at this time. And we created conclaves of people who. Who ranged the area. And I have some magics, you know, I can like make a plan that makes berries that are really good. Good berries, stuff like that, you know? Yeah, you. No, no, it's more like a. Like a. Like a good berry. You know what I mean? [00:18:53] Speaker B: But you know, we make jam out of it. You take a stick and you take those berries and you mash them and then you put it on bread. It's a jam. It's pretty good. [00:19:07] Speaker I: That sounds pretty good. You are smart bars. So I do some magics kind of like that. But you know, I'm really. I do a little bit of magic, but I also good with weapons. [00:19:22] Speaker B: We were. [00:19:22] Speaker I: The lichen alliance was a more prevalent force for a very long Time in your labrain. But we have now. There are less cases of lycanthropy in the modern age, so we have less members. [00:19:39] Speaker A: And it's. It's. [00:19:40] Speaker I: We're a dying faction, but I'm still around. And I happened upon Alandra through a connection to another friend who was lost in the boy shower a long time. [00:19:51] Speaker A: Ago is a whole story. [00:19:52] Speaker I: We don't have to do all of it, but. [00:19:55] Speaker B: Oh, so that's how you. So how. How. How do you. So you know Alondra from a person you found in the woods? [00:20:05] Speaker I: I. A friend of hers got lost in the woods. [00:20:08] Speaker C: Okay. [00:20:09] Speaker I: And I was like, hey, who are you? How did you get in my woods? And then I helped them, and they were like, I'm here for this lady. And I was like, who's that lady? And then a lady showed up, and I was like, I'm Tirard. And then. And then. And then we were like, hey, we could be friends. And so now I've been helpful to her. [00:20:34] Speaker A: You know, she asked me for errands. [00:20:38] Speaker I: Like, last year, I was asked to go get some guy out of an elven kingdom, but then someone else got him, so I did not need to. [00:20:47] Speaker B: What guy? [00:20:50] Speaker I: A dude. I don't know. [00:20:51] Speaker A: I never. [00:20:52] Speaker I: When I. When I was going to as to Lyria to go get him, the someone in elves had already gone and gotten him, so I. I no longer needed to go in and get him. [00:21:05] Speaker D: Okay. [00:21:05] Speaker B: What elven king brokerage, where. [00:21:13] Speaker C: Leans over. [00:21:14] Speaker I: And goes, that's where I am from. And then he goes, man, that guy's accent is crazy. I can't understand a word he says. [00:21:25] Speaker B: Row elbows. [00:21:28] Speaker C: Ro, why don't you give me an. [00:21:29] Speaker A: Inside check real quick? [00:21:30] Speaker E: Okay. [00:21:30] Speaker C: On everything he was saying. [00:21:32] Speaker E: Oh, that's a not 20. [00:21:36] Speaker B: So that's a 32. [00:21:38] Speaker G: Oh, geez. [00:21:41] Speaker D: He says, I know this. [00:21:43] Speaker C: Jackie, could you turn your camera on. [00:21:45] Speaker A: And off again real fast? [00:21:46] Speaker D: Yeah, it's working for me. [00:21:52] Speaker C: For a minute I said, pixels, but I like pickles. [00:21:54] Speaker B: Oh, I like that too. [00:21:56] Speaker C: It went pickle roll with 32. [00:22:00] Speaker A: Oh, we were those guys. It was that time that we needed to get Tella's dad out of there. [00:22:05] Speaker C: So we were like, alandra, definitely send your ally. [00:22:08] Speaker B: And then half an hour later, we. [00:22:09] Speaker C: Were like, oh, never mind, Belandra. You do it for us. So instead of using the free gift of our ally, we indebted ourselves to that person that we moderately like and don't like. And so this guy was the guy who got sent halfway on to wherever. [00:22:23] Speaker A: He needed to Go. And then had to get called back. [00:22:25] Speaker C: Said all quietly in turn. It connects in your head. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:29] Speaker I: And he goes, is this not bad out here? You know that a long time ago, lycantropy was a very common issue in wson. [00:22:37] Speaker B: But what is lycantropy? I'm asking, does Ro know what that is? [00:22:42] Speaker C: Give me. Give me a. Give me a rumors check. I'll tell you what. [00:22:49] Speaker A: You can make this Rumors or history? [00:22:51] Speaker C: Yeah, same. [00:22:53] Speaker B: I'm gonna make it a rumors check, and that's gonna be a 23. [00:23:02] Speaker F: Can I do history? [00:23:05] Speaker C: Didn't you shout? I want to make a rumors check. I want to make a rumors check. [00:23:08] Speaker F: Well, I just want to make a check. Which one am. [00:23:15] Speaker C: I? [00:23:16] Speaker F: You tell me, please. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Rumors. [00:23:20] Speaker C: Okay. [00:23:25] Speaker I: 22. [00:23:29] Speaker C: Greta's roles for the session are 21, 33, 26, 29, 20, 22, 22. And rose. Roles are 29, 23, 32, and 23. [00:23:39] Speaker A: Craig's roles are 8 and 18. [00:23:44] Speaker C: I feel you, Micah. So, Rowan, Greta. [00:23:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Lycanthropy. [00:23:51] Speaker C: So, like. [00:23:53] Speaker A: Yeah, there you go. [00:23:54] Speaker C: Or Abby, whoever you are, thank you. [00:23:56] Speaker A: For the heads up, Micah. [00:23:58] Speaker C: You all know, you have heard of lycanthropy. You've never seen an example of it, but. Oh, yeah. [00:24:03] Speaker I: Okay. [00:24:04] Speaker A: Is a lycanthrope. [00:24:05] Speaker C: Um, this is a magical disease. It is a disease where it is passed from individual to individual through blood. And if you get it, you become a lycanthrope, and you become the kind of lycanthrope you were infected by. So this is like a disease of. [00:24:21] Speaker A: Like, werewolves and were tigers and were bears, and this guy is a weretiger. [00:24:28] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:24:29] Speaker F: So is he person part of the time? [00:24:33] Speaker C: Is he person part of the time? You don't know? [00:24:38] Speaker B: So what did he say about lycanthropy? What did he just. Sorry. [00:24:42] Speaker C: It used to be a really big problem in. In unson, but apparently in the shade ages, but that their outbreaks are very. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Rare now, and so his order is largely unnecessary. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Interesting. [00:24:54] Speaker C: But as he continues rambling, he says. [00:24:57] Speaker I: Nowadays, I mean, you know, in a long time ago, the. The Lycan alliance, we used to fight, find people who have been affected, and if they were violent, you know, we wouldn't. But if. If they could manage their. Their urges and if they could isolate themselves from society, we would teach them how to coexist with their disease because they can benefit as much as a harm. [00:25:19] Speaker D: Okay, so does that mean that you have to be careful? Wait, Zach, just. So I'm reading the Social interaction correctly. He is a were tiger. [00:25:35] Speaker C: Give me an inside shot. [00:25:36] Speaker G: Correct. [00:25:36] Speaker D: Oh, no. [00:25:38] Speaker C: Give me an inside check. [00:25:46] Speaker A: Is nobody using paper sheets nowadays? [00:25:50] Speaker D: Not when I have to change so much and keep up with so much. [00:25:53] Speaker B: Oh, you mean our. I am. [00:25:56] Speaker F: Okay. [00:25:57] Speaker D: Um, actually, it's not that great. It's 14. [00:26:00] Speaker C: Okay. Um, Craig. [00:26:02] Speaker A: Yes. [00:26:02] Speaker C: He is talking about. Well, it, it's. It's disgustingly skewed because of Greta and Ro all the time, but 14 is more than 10 and is an averagely good check. So, yeah, he. He is describing himself. He is. He is a lycanthrope. [00:26:17] Speaker A: He is a weird tiger. [00:26:17] Speaker D: Okay, so do you. Do you have to do a lot to be careful of your urges or like to master them? [00:26:28] Speaker A: Do you have to remain isolated a long time? [00:26:30] Speaker I: I'm in pretty good control, but there are certain times that I need to separate myself, which I live in the woods partially because I like being alone. I like being on my own. [00:26:41] Speaker A: You know, we. [00:26:42] Speaker I: But also because there are times when the moons are very full at night, I do get the urge to. Violently so, you know, it is good to be away from people at those times. [00:26:56] Speaker B: Are you always. Are you always in this form? [00:27:02] Speaker I: No, no, I can. [00:27:07] Speaker C: And then all of a sudden, he gets very serious and he takes his hands together and he, like, temples them. [00:27:11] Speaker A: And he just takes this deep breath. [00:27:14] Speaker C: And it's like the fur, like, like it's like all the hairs lower and. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Then as they lower, they become his skin and he just melds down into a person. [00:27:23] Speaker C: And he is still a very big man. [00:27:25] Speaker A: He's like 6, 2, 6, 3. He's huge. And he. [00:27:29] Speaker C: I mean, he's built like a linebacker. [00:27:31] Speaker A: But he just melts down. [00:27:33] Speaker C: And he's got very like, like warm. [00:27:38] Speaker A: Brown skin and very deeply brown. And he's got these long, like thick, curly locks of hair. [00:27:45] Speaker C: He's dramatically handsome, actually, in like a very, like. He's got so stupid, like a huge jaw and a really big nose and piercing brown eyes. [00:28:01] Speaker B: And I'm picturing like a long haired, a darker skinned Human Trek. [00:28:13] Speaker D: No. [00:28:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:15] Speaker C: Think like, like if Kronk were a real person and of a much darker ethnicity. [00:28:25] Speaker E: Oh, my gosh. [00:28:27] Speaker C: But less, less comical. A little more real. I. I'm having trouble. Comparison. [00:28:31] Speaker B: Love it. [00:28:33] Speaker C: Anybody watch the eighth season of Love is Blind? [00:28:36] Speaker F: No? [00:28:37] Speaker C: Okay, there's a guy on there. [00:28:39] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:28:39] Speaker C: Anywho. Anywho. So he transforms. Very thick eyebrows, thick beard, but, like. [00:28:45] Speaker A: Well maintained to the face. Just very, you know, and huge dude. And as he, as he shrinks down he goes. [00:28:52] Speaker C: Well, still being very large, the clothes still fit him just more loosely and. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Overbearing now he goes, no, I can. [00:28:57] Speaker I: Be a person this as well. It's just that now I'm a lot more cold. [00:29:03] Speaker A: And then he like turns a little. [00:29:06] Speaker C: Bit and there's this like sound from him. And then all of a sudden like his skin rips up his arms and like his. He bursts through himself, tearing his skin away. And then it's like tiger fur again. [00:29:20] Speaker A: And he's larger all of a sudden he can just up. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:29:24] Speaker A: Your message, Micah. [00:29:26] Speaker B: That's pretty cool. Sorry. I hope we didn't make you do something that like hurts you or is hard to. [00:29:36] Speaker I: I mean it doesn't feel. But I'm so used to it. It doesn't really. It's not that big of a deal. [00:29:41] Speaker B: So today you have been a man, a tiger and an eagle. How many people can say that, right? [00:29:50] Speaker I: I don't know. [00:29:51] Speaker E: And then he keeps walking just like awkwardly. [00:29:54] Speaker C: Like the guy's name is Joey from season eight. So like he doesn't look like that guy. Cuz his ethnicity is a whole lot. [00:30:03] Speaker A: Closer to being kind of like. [00:30:04] Speaker C: Like sort of like South Indian in like features and skin tone and something like that. But if you could take that dude and then make him kind of like ethnic appearance vaguely, it'd be something like that. I don't know. This isn't my most eloquent description or metaphor, but I'm not saying he looks like Joey, but that kind of like strength of feature and size of like. [00:30:30] Speaker F: Okay, you know, he's like. It's like a little handsome. Squidwardy. Just a little bit. [00:30:39] Speaker C: A little bit. Yeah. So you all are just plotting around through the snow. [00:30:46] Speaker B: So. [00:30:47] Speaker D: Right. [00:30:48] Speaker B: How far are we now? Since we flew now? [00:30:51] Speaker I: The flying saved us a lot of time and said we could get there by nightfall. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Okay. Do you work with just a Laundra or like the whole man? [00:31:00] Speaker I: It's more like we are friends. We've become friends over the years. [00:31:03] Speaker B: Okay. [00:31:04] Speaker I: We're a favor, but I don't really work with anyone. The Larkin, the Lycan alliance is largely the dissolved. [00:31:09] Speaker D: Do you Insight? [00:31:12] Speaker C: Yeah, go ahead. Insight. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Insight. [00:31:14] Speaker D: Can I Insight on if him and Alundra are like more than friends? [00:31:18] Speaker C: O Insight for me, my dude and they were roommates. [00:31:26] Speaker D: Oh my gosh. [00:31:27] Speaker F: Again? [00:31:29] Speaker D: Just kidding. I got a two. [00:31:32] Speaker C: You got a nat 20. [00:31:34] Speaker B: He got a nat 20. [00:31:37] Speaker C: Craig. [00:31:38] Speaker A: She's so big and handsome. What could be true? [00:31:41] Speaker D: I'm just so. [00:31:42] Speaker F: What could be true? [00:31:44] Speaker D: Just so like Bedazzled. Do you. [00:31:49] Speaker C: I'm just so bedazzled. [00:31:51] Speaker I: Bling. [00:31:53] Speaker C: This is episode two. [00:31:56] Speaker B: Do you know. Do you know the rest of the. The Manabus? And she kind of like, whispers. [00:32:02] Speaker C: It. [00:32:05] Speaker I: Was a Malibus. [00:32:07] Speaker B: Never mind. [00:32:10] Speaker I: He's just like, okay. [00:32:12] Speaker C: And he just keeps walking. [00:32:16] Speaker I: And. [00:32:17] Speaker C: And the party walks. Do you all try to rest before arriving, or do you let him take you all the way there? [00:32:25] Speaker D: I go. I go to row real quick. I go behind. I go where she. Where it's of ear shot on the broman. [00:32:32] Speaker B: But I go to her. He is a tiger. He probably has good hearing. [00:32:37] Speaker D: Just go, aren't you Once you're feeling a little tired. Did you need to, like, Like. I just hate that you're having to walk so much. [00:32:49] Speaker B: Like, what, Craig? I walk. We walk so much, Craig. [00:32:56] Speaker D: I feel like all the time. [00:32:58] Speaker B: Don't need to walk. I feel like I could teleport, but I don't know where. I feel like you should actually be carried. [00:33:06] Speaker E: Do you want to carry me, Craig? [00:33:08] Speaker D: No, no, I'm too tired. [00:33:10] Speaker B: I don't think I need to be carried. I. I'm doing just fine. [00:33:18] Speaker D: This is a. I feel like. [00:33:23] Speaker C: So awkward. I love it. [00:33:27] Speaker D: I got you, Zach. I got you. [00:33:31] Speaker B: What? [00:33:32] Speaker D: I was messing with my arm and my skin, and then he. [00:33:41] Speaker C: So does Craig just awkwardly walk away? [00:33:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:43] Speaker B: Okay. [00:33:44] Speaker C: All right. [00:33:46] Speaker B: Ro asked where he's from originally. [00:33:52] Speaker I: Were you talking to me? [00:33:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Where. Where are you from originally? [00:33:56] Speaker I: Far down there. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:33:58] Speaker I: Here. I'm. [00:34:01] Speaker B: Like here. [00:34:02] Speaker I: Densely onion. [00:34:03] Speaker B: Well, yeah, I figured, but I just didn't know, like, what part of. [00:34:07] Speaker I: I'm from the bo. Yeah, my. My. My parents were Stellarian, but not from the boy. [00:34:22] Speaker B: Doesn't mean Tello is. She's from. You know. [00:34:25] Speaker I: Yeah, you look like it. [00:34:27] Speaker C: Until looks at him and he goes. [00:34:28] Speaker I: Yeah, I'm also from area. And he goes, yeah. Taylor goes, yep. [00:34:37] Speaker B: And then he goes, two bros. Do. [00:34:40] Speaker D: You think that your parents ever met? [00:34:44] Speaker I: And then tell. [00:34:45] Speaker C: Tell turns to Craig and he goes, no, Craig. [00:34:47] Speaker A: Not all Australians know each other. [00:34:51] Speaker D: But there maybe. [00:34:54] Speaker I: Probably not Craig. [00:34:56] Speaker D: Maybe we're besties. [00:34:58] Speaker H: Maybe they. [00:34:59] Speaker F: Okay. [00:35:01] Speaker C: And the party walks in this way for quite sometime. [00:35:08] Speaker D: Oh, it's Craig. I'm gonna say that during this time, the way that Craig talked to Tello when he first came into the campaign, I'm gonna say that like on a lighter version. [00:35:21] Speaker F: Craig light. [00:35:22] Speaker D: I'm gonna say that he's also interrogating, but the interrogation looks more like asking a lot question. [00:35:31] Speaker C: We have to engage in some of this. Give us a Little bit of Craig. [00:35:35] Speaker B: Yeah, let's do it. [00:35:37] Speaker D: So when the moon. So when the moon's like, what was that? So when the moons are like in that state and you're in like, do you. Does it started like you feel hungry or does it like when we launch. [00:35:59] Speaker I: We like it really close to each other. [00:36:01] Speaker D: Yeah. Like when, like you described, like, is it. Do your hands feel itchy? Like what. Like, is it like a physical feeling? [00:36:09] Speaker I: How on earth do you know that? That is exactly what I mean. I get really itchy, like inside and outside because, like, I can't sleep and I get really hungry and only incredible amounts of fresh blood was satiated. [00:36:27] Speaker D: Do you have to keep barrels of blood so much? [00:36:30] Speaker I: No, I have to kill. I have to kill so much. Last year I killed seven deer in two days inside environment. [00:36:40] Speaker C: Did you eat them inside chakra? [00:36:44] Speaker I: I mean, you know, I can't control myself when it's happening, so really I'm killing to kill. But I'm sure, I mean, I. I wasn't hungry, so I think I ate some of them, but I woke up with so much blood and tissue all over me. So many deer corpses everywhere. It's hard to say what was eaten and what was just 18 ripped apiece. [00:37:03] Speaker B: 18. [00:37:06] Speaker D: Last Friday died. [00:37:11] Speaker C: This is him. This is him like doing a dance and there's like a deer leg hanging off his shoulder, part of a jaw on the ground. What are you inciting, bro? [00:37:21] Speaker B: I want to see if he's telling the truth or if he's like pulling Craig's leg about like this guy again. [00:37:27] Speaker C: Seems extremely fourth heat, right? [00:37:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:29] Speaker C: When Twilo and Twilight get really close, he is murderous. [00:37:33] Speaker I: So are you far away from people that time or. I would definitely kill somebody. [00:37:37] Speaker B: So you're like. You're kind of like a vegetarian. [00:37:42] Speaker I: No, no, I. No, I mean like mostly flesh. [00:37:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:46] Speaker B: But like you're vegetarian in the way. The one time I heard about these vampires that like, they call themselves vegetarians because. Yeah, because they didn't kill people, they killed animals. So they're like blood vegetarians. [00:38:03] Speaker I: Where have you heard about there being vampires? [00:38:06] Speaker B: Nowhere. I read it in a book once. [00:38:08] Speaker I: The lichen alliance should know about this. [00:38:10] Speaker B: No, it's just in a book. It was. It was not real. [00:38:13] Speaker C: It was f. It turns and gets. [00:38:15] Speaker A: Really serious and he goes, no, from. [00:38:18] Speaker I: Where have you heard about vampires? [00:38:20] Speaker E: I just, I reach out and I. Because he's really tall, he's not reacting at all. I put my hand on his arm. [00:38:28] Speaker B: And I say, no, I'm sorry. It was A joke. I did read it in a book once, though, but it was not real. It was like a story. A made up story. [00:38:35] Speaker A: Bro, give me a persuasion check, okay? [00:38:40] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Yeah, that's gonna be a 23. [00:38:49] Speaker C: Okay. [00:38:51] Speaker A: He nods and. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Sorry, Micah. [00:38:53] Speaker I: What story? [00:38:56] Speaker B: What? [00:38:58] Speaker I: What story? Did you hear about this? [00:39:00] Speaker B: It was a book that I read when I was a little girl. And it was just a fan. [00:39:11] Speaker A: Allies of Alondra? [00:39:13] Speaker B: Yes. [00:39:14] Speaker I: There are vampire in your labra. I don't let them convince you otherwise. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Okay. [00:39:21] Speaker I: The vampire king has been gone no less than a few centuries. His spawn and progeny cannot be far behind him. And I have long suspected that there is a vampire in unsen. But I have yet to track them down and rip their throat out. [00:39:37] Speaker B: Sorry, I. I didn't mean to bring light of a situation that was bad. I. I read. It was like a. It was like a little book, and it was about like vampires that fell in love. [00:39:53] Speaker C: This is not. [00:39:55] Speaker I: You have your own. You have your own focus, your own business. But you should know, in the shade ages, they fed upon us, all of us, like sheep and cattle. Be thankful they are long gone. [00:40:14] Speaker B: And your order takes care of that kind of thing. [00:40:20] Speaker I: The circle in the conclave longer we would hunt them. [00:40:25] Speaker B: That's really cool, actually. [00:40:31] Speaker A: He just nods solemnly and keeps walking. [00:40:35] Speaker B: She looks over at Craig and gret and goes. [00:40:39] Speaker F: I. I catch up and I say, so after a while of. Of walking, I like, walk up next to him and I say, so what. What makes you think that there's a vampire in Unsen? [00:40:54] Speaker D: Gotta go to bed. [00:40:57] Speaker C: Okay. [00:40:57] Speaker A: Good night, maker. [00:41:00] Speaker D: I love you guys. [00:41:00] Speaker B: Wait, do you want to do your thing real quick? Do you want to do one more Craigism? [00:41:06] Speaker D: Yeah.

[00:41:18] Speaker D: Craig is going to do a little. A little friendly, but, like, hesitant. [00:41:24] Speaker F: Waddle up. [00:41:27] Speaker D: He's gonna go. So do you friends?

Do you have other friends? [00:41:47] Speaker I: Yeah. [00:41:50] Speaker D: Have you ever, like, found yourself in like, a place where you were, like, living like, with a friend? And like, did you ever worry about their safety and also like, how did you protect them from those crazy nights? What? [00:42:13] Speaker B: Like. [00:42:15] Speaker D: When. When. [00:42:18] Speaker I: I don't. I don't party. That's like a city folk thing. [00:42:21] Speaker E: Nah, not party. [00:42:23] Speaker D: Not crazy nights. I mean the. The moon crazy nights. The extra deer. Extra deer crazy nights. Like midnight craving. [00:42:33] Speaker I: No, no, no. I understand. [00:42:35] Speaker A: Not very shiny. [00:42:36] Speaker F: Man.

[00:43:22] Speaker I: Her name was Annette. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Jeanette. [00:43:26] Speaker I: If I'm being really honest, I. I loved her. She was also a lichen. So it worked. There's a handful of us. She was from the people religion door. A real rough in dumbled. But they kind of like that, you know, animal. She's huge. He's a werebear. [00:43:47] Speaker A: Massive.

[00:43:52] Speaker I: But I don't know, you know, I feel like the way that I grew up, there were certain things about getting people that people know how to be close to people. In a way I did. I just didn't work. For us, it was nice how much we didn't interfere with each other's lives, but we weren't really so good at the relationship or part of everything. Eventually, trust me, she just left. But in that way, no, I didn't have to worry at all because we understood what each other was going through. When we were close to the moons, we would chain each other up to something really heavy. And it was huge chains for her. And if she ever freaked out, it was okay because I'm a giant freaking tiger. And if I ever freaked out, it was okay because she was a huge bear. So we could take it. But we did hurt each other very badly. One time in the middle of one of those dangerous nights. It was very bad. There's blood everywhere. But we made up. [00:45:00] Speaker A: Third. [00:45:04] Speaker I: What about you, man? [00:45:07] Speaker D: I. [00:45:08] Speaker B: He's married. Broke off. [00:45:11] Speaker D: I am. [00:45:14] Speaker B: I am married. She. You. [00:45:23] Speaker D: You ever. I don't know if you have this, but I know that sometimes when you. [00:45:28] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:45:28] Speaker D: You just walk by, I feel the flowers and it's like really beautiful. And like, you just kind of stop for a second and like, really appreciate it. Well, if you walk by that field of flowers for, I don't know, every day for like whole year, eventually, or like more than that, like 30 years. You eventually get so used to seeing the field of flowers that you forget that it was once something that made you stop and appreciate life. [00:46:01] Speaker I: Your lady really likes flowers. [00:46:04] Speaker D: No, she was my field. She's my field of flowers. And I'm learning how to get back to. To loving again and. And appreciating what I was in the field. We're gonna get along great. I, I didn't appreciate my wife, and so she left or kicked me out. [00:46:30] Speaker I: And she was. Dude, you are really good with your words. [00:46:38] Speaker F: Thank you. [00:46:38] Speaker I: You're like a poet. [00:46:44] Speaker D: A poet. [00:46:45] Speaker E: A boat and a poet. [00:46:48] Speaker F: And poet. [00:46:50] Speaker I: So really romantic. [00:46:52] Speaker B: Doing well. [00:46:54] Speaker D: I know what you mean. In terms of the not so good at relationship stuff, I wasn't very good. And she did, in a way, leave. [00:47:05] Speaker I: Kind of an animal yourself, huh? [00:47:08] Speaker F: Was. [00:47:09] Speaker D: I can be. Trying to be better. Trying to do better. [00:47:16] Speaker I: If it doesn't work out with your flower lady, I could introduce you to Janet. [00:47:21] Speaker D: Oh, I will not be looking for literally anyone else. She is mine. [00:47:26] Speaker I: She's taller than I am. I, that's your kind of thing. [00:47:31] Speaker D: Will never give up on Catherine. [00:47:36] Speaker B: Okay? [00:47:36] Speaker D: I love her. [00:47:39] Speaker A: That's good, man. [00:47:39] Speaker D: But thank you. I appreciate that you're looking out for me, but. Okay, I have connections too. I have connections, too. If you're looking for what. What you just offered me. [00:47:57] Speaker C: No. [00:47:58] Speaker I: If you're married, that, that's, that's a yellow thing. [00:48:01] Speaker A: I don't have to. [00:48:03] Speaker D: Hello? [00:48:04] Speaker A: What are you. [00:48:09] Speaker C: Did y' all hear Micah's mic echo back on her so loud it bounc off the wall back into the back. [00:48:17] Speaker B: Of the. [00:48:19] Speaker I: H was. [00:48:20] Speaker D: No, I mean, I mean, you got. [00:48:22] Speaker C: To stop with the poetry. [00:48:23] Speaker I: I'm not following. [00:48:25] Speaker D: I, I, I know some, some ladies or I know an individual who would be worth your time. But we can talk about that later. [00:48:36] Speaker I: Is she a Lycanthrop? That's big for me. [00:48:42] Speaker D: She's got the personality of one. [00:48:45] Speaker I: I can turn people into lycanthrops. [00:48:47] Speaker A: But it's a dangerous car. [00:48:48] Speaker D: I don't know if she's okay with that. She might be. [00:48:52] Speaker I: All right. [00:48:53] Speaker D: It could be. [00:48:54] Speaker B: Are there rope? Rope? Something else. Are there bat like lichen throats? [00:49:02] Speaker I: I never met one, but I don't know. [00:49:07] Speaker D: All right. But I just say. I'm just saying. All right. I'm gonna go sleep. I'm gonna. [00:49:15] Speaker I: You gotta take a leak. [00:49:17] Speaker G: You can go take a leak. [00:49:18] Speaker I: There's a rock over there. Go take a piece. Yeah, Abby. [00:49:29] Speaker C: Yeah, Abby. [00:49:30] Speaker A: Right in my pants. [00:49:38] Speaker D: This was super fun. Honestly. Great, great session. I'm very sad to leave. [00:49:43] Speaker F: Sleep. Well, enjoy your. I'll enjoy your five in the morning. [00:49:49] Speaker D: Okay. [00:49:50] Speaker F: Bye. [00:49:50] Speaker C: That sucks for you. Bye. [00:49:53] Speaker F: And then there were three. I go up to the tiger man and I ask. [00:49:59] Speaker E: She finds some. [00:50:01] Speaker F: So what makes you think that there's a vampire in Unsen. [00:50:10] Speaker C: He gets so serious again and he turns to you and he Goes. [00:50:18] Speaker I: The southern coast is rich, many resources. But no one settles in the south. I know that there is one castle there, but one small settlement. But it has been long abandoned for ages gone by. In a time long past, there was there a castle which belonged to the most formidable vampir of all. And it has stood abandoned for ages. But still the wood around it has not recovered. Not really grown. A foul magic hangs over it. I don't trust it. It's just a gut feeling. [00:51:11] Speaker F: Well, it seems like you have good reason to trust your gut. [00:51:16] Speaker I: Cuz I what? [00:51:19] Speaker F: Well, just. [00:51:22] Speaker C: He looks down in his. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Stomach your instincts like your. [00:51:26] Speaker I: I got what you mean, but why would I try Is he just said. [00:51:30] Speaker F: You have a gut feeling about it. [00:51:32] Speaker B: It's like a saying. [00:51:33] Speaker I: Yeah, got it. [00:51:37] Speaker G: Specta. [00:51:38] Speaker C: Looking up the horizons. [00:51:42] Speaker I: You all know the tale of the Vampire King. [00:51:44] Speaker F: No. [00:51:46] Speaker B: Do I? [00:51:47] Speaker E: Do we? Do we dm. [00:51:49] Speaker F: Do we? [00:51:50] Speaker C: You all know who on Tash is the elect discussed him with you a. [00:51:53] Speaker A: Very long time ago in his layer. [00:51:56] Speaker H: He. [00:51:56] Speaker A: He and the majestic company were said to have slayed the Vampire King a couple centuries ago. [00:52:02] Speaker E: I say that. [00:52:03] Speaker B: I say I think he was slayed by a really cool group of people. [00:52:08] Speaker F: A really cool handsome group of people person. [00:52:11] Speaker B: Yeah, really talented group of people with. [00:52:14] Speaker F: A handsome person in it. [00:52:17] Speaker I: It's very easy to have crushes on historical figures. [00:52:19] Speaker B: No, not like that. [00:52:22] Speaker I: They played the Vampire King a few centuries ago. But he's old. He's been in yin a long. Yazam ruled these lands more than once. His reign was dark and bitter. His cruelty knew few boundaries. And he was very powerful. He's been slain more than once. He returned more than once. [00:53:00] Speaker B: You think he's back? [00:53:02] Speaker I: No, no. You would know. But he has not returned. It seems his last destruction as I've heard it through the network of those individuals connected. When he was last killed. He was killed here. And he was killed in the ship Shadow Fell. Oh, Vampir return. [00:53:29] Speaker A: What? [00:53:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:33] Speaker I: You'Ve also been killed in the Shadow Fell. [00:53:35] Speaker B: No, I've been to the Shadow. [00:53:38] Speaker A: Why would you go there? [00:53:39] Speaker I: It's a terrible place. [00:53:40] Speaker B: I got zapped there by accident for like a hour. [00:53:44] Speaker I: What does that mean? [00:53:45] Speaker B: It's like when you get. It's like when you and she cast. [00:53:50] Speaker E: Dimension door and walks through it and walks. [00:53:56] Speaker C: He gets scared and his. His like ears lay back and his pupils get really big and his tail puffs up like a cat. Oh. [00:54:02] Speaker I: What was that? [00:54:04] Speaker B: Sorry, I was just showing you what like the zapping was that I can do like. I can. It's kind of like teleport, you know, I can like. You know I can. I can like do something and be in a different place. Anyway. [00:54:20] Speaker I: I'm very thankful you are not Vampir. You'd be incredible. [00:54:25] Speaker B: Did you say I'd be incredibly hard? I hope so. [00:54:29] Speaker I: Vampir must return back to. To a source from which they. From which they grow the soils from which their bodies were originally sown from which they arose as Vampir. And cleverly and Dash kept his soils on a different plane. So every time you killed him, he reformed. Far away across the cosmos. But when the Majestic companies laid him, they killed him here. And they had allies waiting in the shadow of hell. Killed him there. His heart has been staked in a coffin ever since. [00:55:15] Speaker B: But we know all about forever remain taking hearts. [00:55:20] Speaker A: What? [00:55:22] Speaker E: She just looks over at Greta and. [00:55:25] Speaker I: Your group, speaking cryptically. You're all plants the woods up ahead. Those are the bo. [00:55:35] Speaker A: And as you all see far on. [00:55:37] Speaker C: The horizon the the beginning. The land is actually beginning to slope down a bit and there are rising. [00:55:43] Speaker A: Far away very tall thin pines trees. [00:55:50] Speaker F: We did how many episodes without trees? [00:55:53] Speaker C: You all watch his hello. Takes a deep breath and just. [00:55:59] Speaker A: Nods a little to himself. [00:56:03] Speaker I: And he goes. [00:56:06] Speaker A: It'S deep within this forest that my home is found. [00:56:10] Speaker F: We could go visit. Hello. [00:56:13] Speaker B: Let's not your dad. We could. He could. [00:56:17] Speaker F: He's with. [00:56:17] Speaker I: Let's not. [00:56:20] Speaker B: No, I just mean like eventually he. He can. [00:56:23] Speaker F: Well, he's not in danger now, is he? [00:56:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Like yeah. [00:56:27] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:56:28] Speaker B: He could go somewhere, you know. [00:56:30] Speaker A: Walks a little faster. [00:56:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:35] Speaker A: And in response Tirard says, you know. [00:56:38] Speaker I: We'Re not going to be going anywhere near Aselira. That's too far in north. We stay on the borders and the. [00:56:45] Speaker A: Party walks for maybe another hour before. [00:56:47] Speaker C: Getting to the wood itself. Is beautiful. You all realize Greta, you speak now fluent to insignian? [00:56:56] Speaker B: I do. [00:56:57] Speaker C: And you can translate automatically now that. [00:56:59] Speaker A: Boscho means the wormwood. [00:57:01] Speaker F: Oh, is it warm? [00:57:03] Speaker C: And that is B O I S. [00:57:05] Speaker A: C H A U D B O I S C H A U D the Boscho. [00:57:13] Speaker F: Spell one more time. [00:57:15] Speaker C: B O I S the bo show. [00:57:19] Speaker A: C H A U D. [00:57:26] Speaker C: No bo I said boys should for her boy child for a year and Andrea went. [00:57:33] Speaker H: That'S not how you say that in French. [00:57:35] Speaker C: And about 40 or 50 times I went okay fine. [00:57:37] Speaker A: So I try to sing it her way. [00:57:40] Speaker C: She took a couple years of French in high school and never let me forget. [00:57:43] Speaker A: So. You're great, Andrea. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Love you. So does Andrea. [00:57:49] Speaker F: Listen. Hello. [00:57:53] Speaker A: The pines are tall and thin and. [00:57:55] Speaker C: They'Re this, like, so. Interestingly, the pines on the edge of. [00:57:58] Speaker A: This forest are like a light gray, but the further you work in, their bark gets warmer. [00:58:05] Speaker C: And at the edge, it just looks like a forest. [00:58:07] Speaker A: Snow falls and it's got thick pine leaf litter here that goes down for inches. The forest floor is soft under your foot tread from all of the soft pines. [00:58:16] Speaker C: It's like the piney woods in East. [00:58:18] Speaker A: Texas, but like a thicker, denser layer. And as you walk upon it, the ground is like, soft beneath your feet and compresses. [00:58:26] Speaker C: And at the edge, it just looks like a forest. [00:58:28] Speaker A: But as the trees go denser, the snow can no longer reach the ground. And for a moment you think that the bare ground is just a result of the increased tree cover. But you realize soon enough that as the trunks, as the bark on the trunks grows warmer, turning into like a more amber brown, it's, oh, you're getting warmer and you're able to shed a few coats and you no longer see your breath. In fact, very soon it goes from being like in the 20s to up in the 60s. [00:59:00] Speaker F: Wow. [00:59:02] Speaker C: And you all realize as you walk. [00:59:03] Speaker A: By the trees, they are generating heat. The trees feel warm. [00:59:08] Speaker C: You all can walk up and put. [00:59:10] Speaker A: Your hands close to them, and it's not like hot, like burning, but it's pleasantly warm. [00:59:14] Speaker C: And the needles high above you are verdantly green. [00:59:16] Speaker A: The trees here are also very tall. They're thin, they're like poles, very tall and narrow. [00:59:22] Speaker C: And all of their canopies begin more. [00:59:23] Speaker A: Than 30ft off the ground. These trees each look like they're between 60 and 70ft tall. And even though there's often quite a bit of distance between the trunks, but sometimes 40ft, sometimes 100, their canopies always seem to overlap in such a way that they completely occlude the sky above, stretching greatly. A very magical forest. [00:59:42] Speaker C: It doesn't compare to the insane grandeur of the Westwood, but a very magical forest. [00:59:49] Speaker A: And here it almost feels like summer or spring as you walk. And animals are flitting around lively even in the middle of winter. And you've walked only a short distance before. [01:00:02] Speaker C: You look back and feel like you. [01:00:03] Speaker A: Can'T recognize the open pastures and grasslands at all. It's like you've walked into another world. Briefly, as you walk in, Tirad just takes a heavy smile and a pleased breath. And everything here smells heavenly of pines. And as you crunch through the pines under your boots as you walk, you have had the most awful week and a half of your lives, or up there for a lot of you. And all that horror and terror doesn't just leave you, but it's like it ebbs a little bit, like this place warms you a bit inside at the same time. And Tirad just says. [01:00:52] Speaker I: Bienvenoit Boho. [01:00:55] Speaker A: You understand, Greta, that he says in. [01:00:58] Speaker I: Insignian, welcome to the Wormwood. [01:01:01] Speaker F: I speak back in fluent insignian, and I say, thank you. It's beautiful here. [01:01:06] Speaker A: He turns to you and he says. [01:01:08] Speaker I: My woman of corncharm, I respect you are well spoken. [01:01:16] Speaker F: I say, thank you, and I nod to tell I had a great teacher. [01:01:21] Speaker A: He like, he smiles at you. He turns back and gives you like a kind of a smirk, but a genuine one, and looks back forward. There's a real mix of emotions on his face, but he seems a little more relaxed than. Than he has in a while. Something about walking. [01:01:40] Speaker F: Was that tello or. [01:01:41] Speaker C: Yeah, or. [01:01:42] Speaker F: Oh, okay, yes. [01:01:44] Speaker C: And it's like something about walking in. [01:01:46] Speaker A: These woods is doing something for him. And T says, he actually doesn't say anything. He just begins sniffing deeply the air. [01:01:55] Speaker C: And at one point he briefly gets down on all fours and sniffs along a tree. And in that moment, I mean, he. [01:02:01] Speaker A: His dimensions aren't quite right for a tiger. [01:02:03] Speaker C: He still looks weir tiger, but in there he looks very tigery, before standing. [01:02:07] Speaker A: Back up into that more weird tiger shape. [01:02:09] Speaker I: And he says, we are close. [01:02:13] Speaker C: And you all walk for maybe another half hour before reaching this very large. [01:02:17] Speaker A: Tree that has fallen on its side. And where it has fallen, earth has eroded up behind it into this very large embankment that dips down below as if a river system or stream or. [01:02:30] Speaker C: At some points of the year does. [01:02:32] Speaker A: Ran through here and bore the dirt out from beneath where the tree had fallen and then pushed it up against the opposite side. And where it does, the tree hollows at one end. [01:02:40] Speaker I: And he says, follow me. [01:02:43] Speaker A: And he pushes on some of the roots, and as he pushes them aside, his claws extend from his fingers and dig into the wood and scratch them. And as they scratch the wood, he whispers a little bit, and it's like the wood listens to him and the roots of the dead tree pull apart and, oh, he is a little magical also, just for the sake of the players. [01:03:01] Speaker C: You all understood earlier that he was. [01:03:03] Speaker A: Intimating that he is a ranger, not a druid, but a ranger. So naturally magical, but not to the extent that Boz is. And as the roots separate, you can see that the trunk inside is hollow and it's a small aperture relative to him. [01:03:17] Speaker C: But I mean, the shortest of your company can comfortably walk through it. [01:03:20] Speaker A: And he begins to crawl down, and you realize that the middle the of. Of the tree gives way and breaks into the earth softly. As he crawls through that, you all follow down. And there's like an earthen tunnel that goes down into the earth. And you all are very immediately reminded of Terrence's home in the y and how it was like a part of a tree system in the earth. [01:03:42] Speaker C: And as you all crawl down, you. [01:03:43] Speaker A: Emerge here, the temperature is just heavenly. So cool, but not cold. And here in this damp soil environment, he, like, rubs claws along the wall. And all of these luminescent fungi spark to life, and they're like a warm yellowish brown. And as they turn on, it's like a sickly color, but it paints the space in this golden light beautifully. And Tirard's coat is beautiful here. And as he stands, this ceiling is high enough to accommodate him. And it's all just packed earth. Everything here is packed earth and dirt, but very solidly packed. And the floor here has been filled with crushed pine needles so that it's like a soft bedding. As he walks around in this earthy space and interior, it's all one giant. Just room. [01:04:34] Speaker C: No sequestration, no division, Just a big space underground. [01:04:38] Speaker A: And roots from pines form in the walls and give it shape and just drop from the ceiling in places. And he smiles. And there's simple but homely and clever accoutrement carved from wood and drying herbs. [01:04:53] Speaker C: Hung from small bits of, like, grass. [01:04:57] Speaker A: Woven twine that are hanging from the roof. And there are metal pots at the edges of the room and like a bedding spot. And it's just a home. [01:05:04] Speaker I: And he says, welcome. What is mine is yours. [01:05:09] Speaker A: For a time. [01:05:09] Speaker I: When you are back on your feet, you may freely go. [01:05:14] Speaker B: Thank you. Your home is. Is lovely. [01:05:18] Speaker I: I appreciate it. I'm gonna go kill something. So enjoy yourselves. Relax. I'll be back. [01:05:27] Speaker B: Sound. [01:05:32] Speaker C: Tia stops briefly, says something to Tello. [01:05:35] Speaker A: And insin quietly, and then continues out of the place. And the chamber is yours. [01:05:46] Speaker B: Should we call Alondra? [01:05:50] Speaker E: She looks also. [01:05:52] Speaker C: It's very much night at this point, and you all are. Oh, I mean, you can't. [01:05:56] Speaker H: I'm not saying you can't. Yeah. [01:05:57] Speaker A: You are aware that it is not. [01:05:59] Speaker F: What time is it, Jackie? [01:06:02] Speaker C: Ro. [01:06:03] Speaker A: You're aware that. [01:06:05] Speaker C: Well, that's weird. [01:06:06] Speaker A: We were walking through the wormwood. It was almost like. It was like late afternoon, but it feels like it's close to evening, like, actually beginning night, like nine or ten, almost Doing that to me. [01:06:16] Speaker B: Where? I don't know the times. [01:06:19] Speaker C: No, here. [01:06:20] Speaker A: It's not like you're disoriented. It's like. [01:06:22] Speaker B: Oh. [01:06:24] Speaker A: The exterior light in time of day in the Wormwood did not match. [01:06:30] Speaker B: Oh. [01:06:31] Speaker A: What time it actually is. [01:06:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:34] Speaker A: As if this place almost stretches the day a bit. [01:06:38] Speaker H: Interesting. [01:06:41] Speaker B: I guess we could call her in the morning. [01:06:43] Speaker F: I'd say that's a good idea. [01:06:45] Speaker D: Just so that we don't wake her up. [01:06:47] Speaker F: Physically wake those powerful ladies up way too often. Yeah, they're always. [01:06:52] Speaker B: They're always asleep or fighting something or drinking tea. When we call Bell Andre, I don't really care. [01:06:59] Speaker F: But Alondra, call her just to wake her up. [01:07:02] Speaker B: We could prank call her. Oh, I still have the necklace. Do you want to prank call her? [01:07:06] Speaker F: What necklace? [01:07:08] Speaker B: This one. And she holds up the puka shell necklace that when she puts it on, she holds it and she goes. Remember my voice Sounds. [01:07:15] Speaker E: Sounds like this when I. When I have it on. [01:07:19] Speaker F: Where was I when you got that? [01:07:23] Speaker B: I don't know. We got it at. [01:07:26] Speaker C: That was in Ergberg's. [01:07:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:07:30] Speaker B: No, it wasn't. Yeah, yeah. [01:07:31] Speaker C: No, no, no. [01:07:32] Speaker A: You got that from the guy in the street in Home Cove. [01:07:34] Speaker B: Oh, no, it wasn't the guy in the street. It was the guy that tunneled down the weird one. He also had like the hugging arrow and stuff. [01:07:42] Speaker F: Pretty sure that guy was in the street. [01:07:44] Speaker B: He wasn't in the street. [01:07:46] Speaker C: No, no, no. [01:07:47] Speaker E: We had to like burrow down. [01:07:50] Speaker F: What? [01:07:51] Speaker A: The hugging. [01:07:52] Speaker C: The hugging arrow is from the gecko guy. [01:07:55] Speaker B: That's where I got the puka necklace. It is, yeah. [01:08:00] Speaker C: Okay. I believe you. [01:08:01] Speaker I: I believe you. [01:08:02] Speaker A: I believe you. [01:08:02] Speaker B: But remember that episode got lost, didn't it? Didn't the recording. [01:08:06] Speaker E: So we'll never have that voice. [01:08:08] Speaker C: That guy's voice and his jingly belly full of coins. [01:08:11] Speaker B: Yeah, that's where I got the puka shell necklace that we. What a sad episode can change. I know that. We can change voices with. [01:08:21] Speaker F: I. I look around and I look at Ro. I say, check this out and I pull out my. I curious speaker. [01:08:33] Speaker B: When you bought that? [01:08:35] Speaker C: I think, what? [01:08:37] Speaker B: Like I remember when you got it. You got it. That was the last time, right? What's it say? [01:08:43] Speaker F: I say the word. [01:08:46] Speaker C: Okay. What's my number? [01:08:49] Speaker F: Oh, Let me think. 11. No, not 11. Okay, 11. [01:08:59] Speaker B: He rolled an 11. [01:09:00] Speaker A: No, 17. [01:09:10] Speaker B: Wait, what happens if you get closer? What's the. [01:09:12] Speaker A: I get a really. [01:09:14] Speaker F: The closer I get, the more, like, relevant my answer, I think. Is that it? [01:09:19] Speaker C: Cuz it says things Randomly about truths of reality in the universe. Okay, let's just. [01:09:28] Speaker A: Because this is fun, Abby. Let's take this another layer. [01:09:35] Speaker C: So it is going to be relevant. [01:09:37] Speaker A: We've gotten that. Now we're gonna do I just like rolling dice. You know, it's fun. Now tell me the sort of thing, the sort of general quality or category you want this information to be associated with. Then tell me another number, and I'm going to roll a D20. And if it's really close, this will be very close to the sort of. [01:09:59] Speaker C: Thing you would like it to be. Where if not, it will still be. [01:10:01] Speaker A: Very relevant because you got the D100. [01:10:02] Speaker C: Roll, but it might be different relevant to something else. [01:10:06] Speaker F: Okay. Okay, let me think. Can you restate that? Just. [01:10:09] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes, yes. So now you're going to tell me a roll of 1 to 20. I'll roll the D20. [01:10:13] Speaker C: And if it's close here, not only will it be, like, relevant and valuable to Greta. [01:10:17] Speaker H: Right. [01:10:18] Speaker C: But now it will also be something that's like, specifically of a kind of. [01:10:22] Speaker A: Information you want, like, you could say. [01:10:24] Speaker C: Like, I want this information to be. To have. And I mean, it's up to you how you interpret that. But, like, I want this information to. [01:10:30] Speaker A: Kind of fall within this schema or about this kind of thing or something like that. So go ahead and let me know. [01:10:37] Speaker C: What it is that you want. Give me your number. [01:10:42] Speaker F: I want to know something about boss. [01:10:54] Speaker C: Give me your D20. Number 10. [01:11:06] Speaker E: You rolled a 10. My guy. [01:11:10] Speaker C: What. [01:11:11] Speaker G: What do I do with this? [01:11:13] Speaker E: I don't know. [01:11:13] Speaker C: What the heck, Abby? What do I do with this? What's something you don't know about boss? [01:11:21] Speaker B: I know. I know what you don't know about boss. What we don't know about Boss. [01:11:26] Speaker H: Yeah. [01:11:37] Speaker B: Did that help you? [01:11:37] Speaker A: Okay. [01:11:38] Speaker I: Yeah. [01:11:39] Speaker F: Wait, is there something that I don't know? [01:11:46] Speaker A: Okay, this is crazy. What a choice. [01:11:48] Speaker B: Landon let it slip to me. [01:11:51] Speaker I: Yeah. [01:11:55] Speaker C: All right, so, Greta, you're all like. [01:12:00] Speaker A: Look at this thing. [01:12:01] Speaker C: Watch it. And then you say the word. And the curious speaker's voice. [01:12:05] Speaker D: The. [01:12:05] Speaker A: The two. [01:12:06] Speaker E: Where is Boz right now? [01:12:10] Speaker C: Out walking. [01:12:13] Speaker B: He's. [01:12:13] Speaker C: He's writing Druidic messages. He's writing. He's writing messages on. In Druidic. [01:12:17] Speaker A: On the trees, all around. [01:12:18] Speaker G: He's. [01:12:18] Speaker A: He's adding to the Druids Almanac. [01:12:20] Speaker C: And. And you know what? That's where he is all evening. And the little. [01:12:26] Speaker A: The pale gemstone eyes flash in the curious speaker. And the voice comes and says. [01:12:33] Speaker I: The. [01:12:33] Speaker G: Blade carried by your friend is cursed. If he fails to use will be a ruinous end. [01:13:04] Speaker A: Crazy that you had me narc on Landon. That's wild. [01:13:08] Speaker B: What's the blame Real Landon would do the same. And. [01:13:12] Speaker A: Oh, for sure. [01:13:13] Speaker B: Yeah, we did be offended. [01:13:19] Speaker F: Blade carried by your friend is cursed. If he fails to use it. Oh, okay. I don't know what blade it is. [01:13:33] Speaker B: Well, he has that one new one. Ish. Right? [01:13:36] Speaker F: Oh, yeah. Rose. Right here. [01:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I listened to it and I was like, what? Wait, what friend is this? I'm guessing this is boss. [01:13:45] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:13:45] Speaker B: Yeah, right? [01:13:47] Speaker F: I don't know. I was thinking about you. [01:13:50] Speaker C: Look at Clegg sleep. And Craig's sleeping there with Star Splinter. [01:13:54] Speaker B: I mean, that's not curse, though. [01:13:58] Speaker F: I was just thinking about. [01:14:00] Speaker B: I identified Star Splinter. [01:14:02] Speaker F: You were thinking about this little guy? [01:14:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:04] Speaker F: I think this little guy knows. I think he. I think he. I think he can read my thoughts. [01:14:10] Speaker B: That's creepy. I would get rid of it. Well, I don't want something reading. [01:14:16] Speaker C: My skull goes. The skull goes. [01:14:18] Speaker G: Greta has to pee. [01:14:22] Speaker F: I do have to pee. [01:14:27] Speaker C: He is magical. [01:14:30] Speaker F: I do have to pee. [01:14:32] Speaker C: Greta, you're aware it's not much of a secret. [01:14:34] Speaker A: You have seen Boz use a sword whose blade is missed Phantom. You've seen him utilize the weapon. [01:14:41] Speaker B: I mean, like, if anything was cursed, it would be that thing. [01:14:44] Speaker F: Yeah. Huh. Do you think he knows it's cursed? [01:14:49] Speaker B: I don't know. If he did, he probably wouldn't tell us. Knowing Balls, he'd protect us from that. [01:14:58] Speaker F: He'd protect his own way. It's not telling us protecting it. Or is it? [01:15:02] Speaker B: I think Balls thinks that in his own way. And I respect that. [01:15:06] Speaker F: You do? [01:15:08] Speaker B: Most of the time. [01:15:12] Speaker D: Wow. [01:15:13] Speaker A: You do. [01:15:14] Speaker C: That's good. [01:15:15] Speaker H: Wow. [01:15:16] Speaker C: Say it without saying it. [01:15:22] Speaker B: That's it. Should we talk to him about it? I mean, like, not tonight obviously, but. [01:15:28] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:15:28] Speaker B: He seems tired, but, like, maybe we should bring it up. I don't know. [01:15:34] Speaker F: I think we should know that your blade was cursed. [01:15:38] Speaker C: Here, in your head. [01:15:39] Speaker A: Jackie. [01:15:40] Speaker B: Spiguber. What's up, Spaghuber? [01:15:43] Speaker H: Hey. Hi. [01:15:44] Speaker B: Hi. [01:15:46] Speaker H: Am I interrupting anything? [01:15:48] Speaker B: No, I just haven't gotten a check. [01:15:51] Speaker H: In since you guys left for a death encounter with the cat. So I was wondering if. [01:15:54] Speaker D: So. [01:15:54] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:15:55] Speaker H: Dead or not. [01:15:56] Speaker B: No, we're not. And Spaghuber, you will be happy to know. [01:16:00] Speaker H: That's what I figured. You were talking to me. [01:16:02] Speaker B: Yeah, sorry. We. We slept all last night, and then a big tiger man came and found it. A good tiger man came and found us. [01:16:13] Speaker H: Sure. I don't think there's a bad kind of tiger man. I like. [01:16:16] Speaker E: Man, they're both there is. [01:16:17] Speaker B: There actually is. [01:16:19] Speaker H: Well, that doesn't sound right. [01:16:21] Speaker B: The Count is no more. And his compatriots that helped do his bidding are. [01:16:35] Speaker H: Yeah. [01:16:37] Speaker B: Also no more. [01:16:40] Speaker H: Well, I don't wish death on anyone, but I will sleep better tonight laying my head down, knowing that he's not in the world. [01:16:47] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:16:48] Speaker H: So thank you. [01:16:51] Speaker B: You know that I. I know you don't ask about a lot of our weird, you know, crazy stuff that goes. [01:16:59] Speaker H: On, but I ask about everything every time you guys come. [01:17:02] Speaker B: I know, but, like, we don't want to, like, detail. We don't want to, like, burden you with some of the scary stuff. Right. But. [01:17:09] Speaker H: Oh, come on. I've got these big, broad, burly shoulders. [01:17:15] Speaker D: The. [01:17:16] Speaker B: That. That heart that we had, that was his. Yeah. Yeah, it was. None of us knew it. Yeah. When he. When Craig. When Craig gave him the. The final blow, he started to come back and destroying the heart got rid of him. [01:17:48] Speaker H: So that's why he came through the ship. [01:17:50] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:17:52] Speaker B: I'm so sorry. [01:17:55] Speaker H: Well, I mean, thank you for telling me. That's so awful. [01:18:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:03] Speaker H: Okay. Well, thank you for letting me know stuff. [01:18:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:18:08] Speaker B: I think we're staying the night. Here we are in this tiger man's house. He's a. Were. Tiger goober. [01:18:19] Speaker C: Like what? [01:18:20] Speaker B: Like howl at the moon, but a tiger. Wow. [01:18:26] Speaker H: You guys have the most amazing experiences. Well, I. Bro, are you somewhere where Griffa could also hear me? [01:18:34] Speaker B: Yeah, she's right here. I don't know how to repeat things. [01:18:37] Speaker H: Back to her in a way that we didn't actually need to express and roleplay to be annoying to the listener. [01:18:41] Speaker C: But we could possibly. What was happening? [01:18:43] Speaker H: You were relaying everything. [01:18:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what's happening right now. I'm relaying everything as we speak. [01:18:48] Speaker A: Well. [01:18:50] Speaker H: I actually kind of wanted to talk to you guys about. It's been obviously very hard. It's. It's been a terrible time for all of us lately. And so I don't. I'm not trying to add to that. [01:19:09] Speaker A: Burden in any way, but I also. [01:19:11] Speaker H: Want to think realistically about things, you know, And I know that you all have just won for us an amazing victory and really for the world, so thank you. But it's also true that I think in some ways what we're doing is a little unsustainable, or at least in the role that now and I now play in it. And I'm not trying not to beat your capitan, but what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that not to be dark, but without belfry and plough, we don't have a crowd. We can't really even sail the par bit without you here. And as you all saw when you were back. [01:20:01] Speaker A: It'S a strenuous load on the number of crew members to have. [01:20:04] Speaker H: People enough to man it and to sleep. [01:20:07] Speaker A: I love the poor pet. It's as much home to me as anywhere else he is. But you all can walk around the. [01:20:14] Speaker H: World in the moment with your magics, and I mean, to be honest, there's no guilt here. But there was very little purpose in us in the ship for the last seven or eight months other than to have a place to be. I still want to be your spagoober. I'm not trying to go anywhere. It's dangerous to work with you all. But you all are trying to change the world. And I think that's a thing worth living for or maybe even worth dying for. But maybe the poor bit isn't where that needs to happen anymore. [01:20:55] Speaker D: Shipper goober. [01:20:56] Speaker B: Where. If you could go anywhere in the world right now and call that your home base, where would you choose that to be? [01:21:10] Speaker H: And nom, I think maybe it needs to be somewhere that could be our home base. [01:21:16] Speaker B: Definitely. [01:21:19] Speaker H: Because I want to keep being helpful. But what am I really doing for. [01:21:22] Speaker A: You all in this role now? [01:21:23] Speaker H: You know, I've been thinking about it, and I've seen how powerful magics make you all. And I know that I'm not the world's most capable spellcaster, but I've been studying quite a bit in your absence. And I think maybe even if I take some. Some focused time when you all are together, or maybe if there's a magical ally, you know, who could come work with me sometimes if they have time. I think if I had a dedicated location where I could be preparing things for you all when you were gone, and then maybe becoming more magically inclined so that I could be actively helping you with stuff, I don't know, enchanting or studying or. Or something. I feel like I could play a much more useful role than I am now. [01:22:05] Speaker B: Is there like a. I'm sorry, go ahead. [01:22:09] Speaker H: Is there like a physical place we could occupy? Somewhere that would be safe for us? [01:22:16] Speaker F: I pipe in through the magic of conversation. [01:22:19] Speaker C: You guys are passing the stone back and forth and relaying and. [01:22:21] Speaker A: Yes. [01:22:23] Speaker F: And I say, what about. I mean, it might take some rebuilding, but could we go back to Parson? [01:22:32] Speaker B: I look at rough the house there. Yeah. Like, are we. What if you Said if you study Spookaber. Have we ever talked to you about the. The man of us? [01:22:50] Speaker H: Yeah. [01:22:50] Speaker C: I've met like two of them. [01:22:52] Speaker H: Three, maybe. [01:22:53] Speaker B: Yes. I'm. [01:22:55] Speaker A: That tall lady's really pretty. [01:22:58] Speaker H: Sorry, that's not the point. Excuse me, I'm being bashful now. [01:23:04] Speaker D: What if. [01:23:05] Speaker B: I mean, we could talk to them about you studying with them. I. [01:23:12] Speaker H: Maybe, but I also think they're very busy. I don't know what the answer is on that part. Let's. Let's answer that second theory early. I'd like for us to have a place that's ours and less vulnerable that we could return to. [01:23:24] Speaker B: I loved Parsage. We could try and rebuild it. We could even build a kitchen for Nom. She could start, like, baking. [01:23:33] Speaker H: And you also didn't have that underground place, right? [01:23:36] Speaker B: Yeah, it has like a. That place. [01:23:39] Speaker H: You could feel a little bit safe. [01:23:41] Speaker B: That's true. I could. Would you? And I mean, the problem is, I would love to be able to just come grab y' all and teleport you to the place, but I don't want to. I mean, we don't really want to leave the poor bet. [01:24:01] Speaker H: No, my thing is that if we know where we're going, I could sail it in that direction. [01:24:06] Speaker B: That's true. [01:24:06] Speaker H: And I could dock it at a place that's not too far from where it is, because, let's be honest, ho's going to steal it. And also, I mean, if we just put it on a distant shore somewhere and cover it well, it will weather a lot of things. When we found that it was in. [01:24:21] Speaker A: Awful condition and I mean, if it's. [01:24:25] Speaker H: On some random shore somewhere, the odds of anyone ever finding it are incredibly low. So if I know where I'm sailing, I could take the ship in that direction. We could dock it there, and then we could make a real home for ourselves somewhere. [01:24:38] Speaker F: I love. [01:24:39] Speaker B: Could I DM like a. I don't know. Would it be rumors check about. Just things that we've heard and everything. Like how much the Kefkins are occupying, like, the surrounding area of Parage and all, or. [01:24:57] Speaker A: No, I'd have you make a. [01:24:58] Speaker I: You've been there? [01:25:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:25:00] Speaker C: Had firsthand observations. [01:25:02] Speaker A: Make a strategy check at advantage. [01:25:03] Speaker B: But it's been a minute, so I was. I didn't know. [01:25:06] Speaker F: Can I assist with. Well, it's already at advantage and at. [01:25:10] Speaker B: 20 on the first one, so that's going to be a 26. [01:25:23] Speaker A: You have a six in intelligence. [01:25:29] Speaker B: Sorry, a plus five. [01:25:32] Speaker H: Yeah. [01:25:33] Speaker C: Anyhow, 26, 25. Who cares? [01:25:36] Speaker B: My five is all blacked out on. [01:25:39] Speaker E: My sheet that I have it on. [01:25:42] Speaker C: It occurs to you that the Kefkans. [01:25:45] Speaker A: Don'T know that you own anything there. And the Doggoth attacked you there. [01:25:53] Speaker H: But. [01:25:53] Speaker A: And you don't know what condition the town's in, but assuming that it is. Well, the Empire would have no reason to suspect you there and now. I mean, maybe there's a world where he attacked and then the Kefcons were. [01:26:07] Speaker C: Like, oh, we gotta dominate that place. [01:26:09] Speaker A: But it is some random small town in Telethonom. So other than the fact that the. [01:26:15] Speaker C: Wandering Death showed up there and attacked. [01:26:16] Speaker A: You all and then you fought him and fled, there's no particular reason to. [01:26:22] Speaker C: Think that they would be there. [01:26:24] Speaker B: Do I know if this might be like another. A different check. Like an insight check. But would the town still want to welcome us back to. I think. Or would they be standing? [01:26:35] Speaker A: I don't call that insight so much as divinating the future. [01:26:39] Speaker D: Okay. [01:26:40] Speaker C: The opinions of. [01:26:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:26:42] Speaker C: A couple hundred strangers. [01:26:44] Speaker I: Yeah. [01:26:45] Speaker A: A little hard to just know. That would be up to your own personal determination. [01:26:50] Speaker B: I think going back to the conversation, she said. Yeah, I think. I mean, I loved Parsage. I think that would. I think you guys would like it. Goober. I think mom would like it. [01:27:02] Speaker H: I'll start moving the ship in that direction. [01:27:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I could even in the next few days, if you wanted to, I could. I could go to the ship and then take you guys to Parseage just for like a few hours to see the place and then. [01:27:24] Speaker H: No, I don't care if it's ours. We go there. [01:27:26] Speaker B: Okay. [01:27:27] Speaker H: I mean, that's very nice, but, you know, that's where we're going. [01:27:31] Speaker C: That's where we're going. [01:27:32] Speaker H: I'm in this thing, you know, Ro, I don't need to think about stuff. If it's our choice, we're doing it together. [01:27:37] Speaker C: Cool. [01:27:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:27:38] Speaker H: I believe in the fun, guys. [01:27:40] Speaker B: All right, Well, I think that would be good. Yeah. [01:27:43] Speaker H: I just. Some important things to check in on. [01:27:46] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:27:48] Speaker H: And I love you guys and I miss you. And I know that that might sound a bit, you know, Cheese, but. [01:27:54] Speaker F: No, we love you. [01:27:55] Speaker C: Feel free. [01:27:55] Speaker H: And Plough have died. It's really important to me that I say those things out loud to y'. [01:27:59] Speaker C: All. [01:28:02] Speaker H: So. [01:28:03] Speaker F: I can't wait to see you again, Goober. [01:28:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:28:06] Speaker H: I'm gonna give you guys a big hug. [01:28:10] Speaker B: Can't wait. [01:28:11] Speaker H: Stay safe, you guys. I love you. [01:28:13] Speaker F: We'll see you soon. We'll see you in passage. Or sooner. [01:28:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Hopefully Sooner. Yeah. [01:28:18] Speaker A: Total load of loadles. [01:28:26] Speaker D: Okay. [01:28:27] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:28:27] Speaker B: I think she turns to Greta and she goes, I think Parsage would be. I mean, I would love to go back there. [01:28:34] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:28:34] Speaker B: What if Nam opened a bakery in Parseage? [01:28:37] Speaker F: I think we'd have to get someone to handle sales, but I think. [01:28:42] Speaker B: I think. [01:28:42] Speaker D: Should we go? [01:28:44] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah. [01:28:45] Speaker B: Or someone else. Someone else. There's a lot of friendly people in the town that might want to. But I mean, we have some more money now that we could hire workers to. To work. [01:28:58] Speaker F: That's true. [01:28:59] Speaker B: On the house. [01:29:01] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:29:03] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. [01:29:05] Speaker B: So balls is cursed, right? [01:29:09] Speaker D: Parsed. [01:29:09] Speaker F: Well, his blade is. [01:29:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Parseage is good. We have a were tiger right here. [01:29:18] Speaker F: He's our friend. What do you think of that guy, Ro? [01:29:24] Speaker B: Is he a little. He's very nice and very buff, but he's very funny and very tall. But. How do I put this lightly? Like, I don't know if he could understand the metaphors that I write in songs without me having to explain everything. Also, there's the fact that he goes. And I do like explaining things, but there is the fact that he. But there is the other issue of the fact that he goes on, like, bloody ran pages, like, several times a month. [01:30:08] Speaker F: I think it's just once a month. But, I mean, I could cure wounds. [01:30:14] Speaker B: Like, I'm not worried about, like, getting hurt. It's just like, what do you do with that? You know? Like, I don't know how to. [01:30:22] Speaker F: Everybody has big feelings. [01:30:29] Speaker B: Hey, I wonder if there's a cure. Like, if they could find a cure, you know? [01:30:37] Speaker F: Yeah. I wonder. [01:30:43] Speaker B: I. Yeah. [01:30:44] Speaker D: I don't know. [01:30:48] Speaker B: You know, I. Not to throw another iron into this fire that. But I was. I mean, it's late. People sleep a lot of times when it's late. [01:31:01] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:02] Speaker B: I was thinking about checking in on some kefs with a little dream spell. [01:31:10] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:12] Speaker B: But I don't. I've never. I've not really done it, but like a couple times, if that. [01:31:17] Speaker F: What have you done it on? I should know. [01:31:20] Speaker B: Maybe I haven't done it. I don't know. It's very scary. [01:31:27] Speaker C: I've never done that. [01:31:28] Speaker B: To enter someone's dreams. [01:31:31] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:32] Speaker B: And I've wanted to, but I'm a little. I don't know. Like, I can scare her. Like, I could go into lossless dream and scare her, but, like, I don't really know what the point is of that. I know we do have someone. [01:31:46] Speaker F: When you go in, or can you just observe, maybe stuck her tongue out. [01:31:53] Speaker D: All right. [01:31:54] Speaker F: My fabric is. [01:31:55] Speaker A: I Think. [01:31:56] Speaker B: I mean, I don't think I have to, but I think it'd be weird if I didn't talk. I can make their dream like anything they want. I could, like, make myself. Look, I was thinking. Okay, hear me out. We have to kill Loshla by contract, technically, within, like, a month's time. [01:32:13] Speaker F: We do. [01:32:15] Speaker B: So I was kind of thinking I go into her dream as her sister, okay. And get information on, like, where she's at. Like, trick her into thinking that she's just dreaming, chatting her sister up, you know? [01:32:37] Speaker F: Okay. [01:32:37] Speaker B: And then end it with a nightmare. [01:32:40] Speaker F: You think that she's. I mean, I would just. I think that's a great plan. I would just worry that maybe she's a little. And maybe, like, there's other people who try and do that to the general. You know what I mean? [01:32:53] Speaker A: It is precisely in the middle of this conversation that at the same time, quietly and to yourselves, what you do with this is your own. Each of you, everything around you is exactly the same. Nothing changes. But all of the hair stands up on the back of your necks, and both of you feel a chill run down your spine, and you get a sudden uneasy feeling located to nothing. And you just feel for a moment a deep turning in your stomach and a sense of dread, but it is fleeting, and you're left with a residual sense of unease. But each of you, independently, has this. This experience, and it's. For a moment. Please continue. [01:33:51] Speaker F: I kind of like you did both. [01:33:52] Speaker A: Suddenly stop talking for a moment. [01:33:54] Speaker F: But, yeah, stutter and shake my head and. All right, Wait, what. [01:33:58] Speaker B: What was that? Did you. [01:34:00] Speaker F: What? I just got a weird. I got, like, a chill down my spine. [01:34:05] Speaker B: I did, too. Where's Talo at this point? Is Tello. [01:34:13] Speaker A: Both of you? Ro and Greta, independently, you both taste the faintest bit of blood? [01:34:22] Speaker F: No, I look at Ro and I go. [01:34:27] Speaker A: It's very much. [01:34:28] Speaker C: It's very much getting into evening at. [01:34:29] Speaker A: This point, and Tello has laid down to sleep. Craig is also sleeping. [01:34:33] Speaker C: For the sake of the players in here being the characters. Can you guys hear Hoffa singing from the shower? [01:34:46] Speaker D: Yep. [01:34:46] Speaker A: That's so cute. [01:34:48] Speaker C: Anyway, did you. [01:34:50] Speaker B: Did you take. [01:34:51] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:34:57] Speaker B: I should. [01:34:58] Speaker A: I. [01:34:59] Speaker B: Should I check on. Call Spiguber back real quick. [01:35:13] Speaker A: Okay. Connection. [01:35:16] Speaker C: What? Yeah. [01:35:17] Speaker B: Are you. Are you. Are you okay? [01:35:19] Speaker H: Okay, hold on. Okay, sorry. Hold on. [01:35:23] Speaker C: This is really awkward, but I'm currently poop. [01:35:31] Speaker E: I undo the can go bad. [01:35:34] Speaker C: I. [01:35:35] Speaker E: A sweet, delicate starfish. I undo the connection. [01:35:41] Speaker B: Okay. [01:35:42] Speaker C: About a minute or two later, you. [01:35:43] Speaker H: Go, well, I'm so sorry about That I have to be pooping sometimes. [01:35:46] Speaker B: No, that's okay. Are you okay? [01:35:49] Speaker E: Like, on the side of the boat? [01:35:51] Speaker B: Oh, no. Okay. No, I just. [01:35:56] Speaker E: I just got a bad. [01:35:57] Speaker B: We just. We just got a bad feeling, and I wanted to make sure you were okay.

If anything weird changes or you get any bad feelings. Okay. [01:36:14] Speaker H: I just wanted to check in real quick. [01:36:16] Speaker C: I'm sorry. [01:36:16] Speaker H: I was the one who called Alondra about you guys going out there to Insan, and then I think that's why she sent her friend. That wasn't overstepping, was it? I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay. I called Elandra and let her know that you guys were going to be going after the camp, and then so she said she would send somebody to check on you guys. [01:36:35] Speaker A: I was just really worried. [01:36:36] Speaker B: Oh, no, that's fine. No, he's being. He's been chill. His house. We're sitting in his house. [01:36:45] Speaker H: Greta, I just got the sense from. [01:36:47] Speaker C: Across the world that she puts her magic symbol in her mouth and went. [01:36:51] Speaker E: No, I think I need to call an exorcist. No, that was perfectly fine that you. [01:36:57] Speaker B: That you called Alondra. Tyrold is really dope, and he's not. [01:37:03] Speaker E: Bad to look at either. [01:37:05] Speaker B: Okay. [01:37:05] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [01:37:06] Speaker F: Okay. [01:37:07] Speaker C: Sorry. [01:37:07] Speaker H: You might have been sensing that I was having such a bad poop. Okay. [01:37:10] Speaker E: But that's okay. [01:37:12] Speaker B: Okay. [01:37:13] Speaker H: Okay. [01:37:13] Speaker D: Bye. [01:37:15] Speaker B: Greta, it's not. It's not for goober. [01:37:17] Speaker F: Okay? I get. [01:37:23] Speaker B: Hag vibes. [01:37:24] Speaker F: Can I make a hag check? [01:37:28] Speaker E: Is your hag since tingling? [01:37:29] Speaker F: Greta, what modifier is that? [01:37:34] Speaker C: Your hag modifier. [01:37:35] Speaker F: Okay. Oh, that's gonna be a good one. [01:37:44] Speaker B: That's gonna be a good one. [01:37:48] Speaker D: All right. [01:37:48] Speaker F: I'm looking for my hack modifier. [01:37:50] Speaker C: I'm also. I'm not ignoring you guys. I'm writing down notes for summary for. [01:37:54] Speaker A: Myself from the session. [01:37:54] Speaker C: Like, if I'm ever looking away from you all as you're playing, I'm just taking notes. [01:37:58] Speaker A: I'm never, like, doing something, Greta. [01:38:00] Speaker B: I just, like, Ro's, like, reading in her little songbook where she writes down things about spells. She goes, greta, I just realized that not only can I go into someone's dream, I can touch someone if they're willing, and I can send them into someone's dream. [01:38:18] Speaker E: Do you want to go dream diving sometime? [01:38:21] Speaker F: Yeah, maybe. [01:38:24] Speaker B: That'd be kind of cool. [01:38:28] Speaker D: That would be cool. [01:38:31] Speaker A: I'm just. [01:38:31] Speaker F: Just checking some stuff. I'm just thinking, like, you could just. [01:38:35] Speaker B: Hang out with someone. As long as they're asleep, you can just, like, hang out and talk with them. It doesn't have to be spooky, that. Yeah. [01:38:43] Speaker F: Who would I hang out with? [01:38:45] Speaker B: I don't know. You want to hang out with someone in their dreams for eight hours, play. [01:38:49] Speaker F: Some really funny pranks on people. [01:38:51] Speaker B: You could. Yeah. [01:38:53] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:38:53] Speaker B: And you can shape, like, the. [01:38:55] Speaker F: The. [01:38:56] Speaker B: The. The whole dream. Yeah, you can just, like, shape the dream. Yeah. [01:39:01] Speaker F: Oh, so I could make. I could let us do anything. [01:39:05] Speaker B: Yeah, you could change the landscape, things going on around all that stuff. [01:39:12] Speaker C: Wow. [01:39:12] Speaker B: If you want to make it scary, though, like a nightmare, you can only, like, say 10 words. Okay. [01:39:18] Speaker F: Yeah. I found my hag stat. My hag stat is proficiency in history checks to do with hags. Since I already have. [01:39:25] Speaker C: No, no, no, no. Your hag stat. That's a history check. You're making a hag check. You asked for a hag check. [01:39:31] Speaker F: Okay, so just profession she made. Okay. [01:39:34] Speaker C: No, it's just your hag stat. [01:39:36] Speaker B: Oh, he's been using your hag skill. Thing has been a joke to him. [01:39:42] Speaker H: 24. [01:39:42] Speaker C: Okay, you. That's three points of hag. [01:39:46] Speaker F: So that's. That's four points. That's actually. That's five points of hag. [01:39:53] Speaker C: Five points of hag. [01:39:54] Speaker D: My bad. I'll write that down. [01:39:56] Speaker F: Okay. [01:39:58] Speaker C: I just wrote down in my TM notes five points of hag. [01:40:04] Speaker F: Make sure, you know, that I get to add that to had checks. And not that I just, like, am 5% more haggy. Okay. [01:40:10] Speaker C: Oh, I don't know what five points of hag means, but we now have five points. [01:40:13] Speaker F: That means it's my hag modifier. Okay, well, we'll move on. I would like to cast augury. [01:40:23] Speaker C: Okay. [01:40:28] Speaker F: And I am gonna use my. I'm gonna cast my gem and lade sticks, rolling dragon bones, laid out ornate cards, or employing some other other divining tool. And I'm going to receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. So I'm going to ask Ro. [01:40:51] Speaker B: Yeah, Ro. [01:40:53] Speaker F: Whose dream do you want to enter? [01:40:56] Speaker B: Well, I don't. I want. I don't want to enter anyone's dream if I got blood taste in my mouth. [01:41:01] Speaker F: Right? I'm trying to. How can I. How can I use Abby's over here? [01:41:07] Speaker C: Like, well. But now how do I use my spell, Jackie? [01:41:09] Speaker F: How can I use this spell to figure out the blood taste? In her mouth. [01:41:13] Speaker E: Do you think it's like. Do you think. Should we check on. [01:41:17] Speaker F: I don't know. The man in the sky wouldn't let me make a check. I don't know. [01:41:25] Speaker C: It was so unreasonable. The way of. I asked for a check that doesn't exist, and then he didn't agree to it. He's so horrible. [01:41:31] Speaker F: I want a check that doesn't exist. I. I don't have any incense. [01:41:40] Speaker C: Sound of all the decisive party makers being gone. [01:41:43] Speaker F: No, I would use incense. I just don't have my incense. I'm out of incense. [01:41:52] Speaker E: I wake up to towel out. [01:41:54] Speaker F: Wake up. [01:41:56] Speaker C: Sorry, I'm too heavily trauma. [01:41:59] Speaker A: How can they be you? [01:42:00] Speaker B: I'm so sorry, but Greta and I both just got a really bad feeling and blood in our mouths, and we were wondering if you were having a bad dream or if you have blood in your mouth. Taste. [01:42:14] Speaker H: But I feel fine. [01:42:15] Speaker B: Okay, you're good. You're chill. Because, I mean, you know, relatively speaking. [01:42:20] Speaker A: I love you guys. I'm gonna go back to sleep now. [01:42:22] Speaker B: Okay. Should I call Terrard? [01:42:27] Speaker D: I think we should. [01:42:28] Speaker F: I think. [01:42:28] Speaker B: In the middle of his pillaging. [01:42:31] Speaker F: No, I think that we just don't know what this is, and we have to let it go. Unfortunately, I don't let things go. [01:42:40] Speaker C: I'm writing that quote down. [01:42:43] Speaker F: Well, do you still want to do Lashla's dream? We're thinking about lashless dream. [01:42:50] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. If you want. [01:42:54] Speaker F: It could also be carcoon. Oh, you know who it could be? [01:42:57] Speaker B: It's. I could be madam Miscore. [01:43:00] Speaker F: It could be the bloodied one. [01:43:02] Speaker D: That would be bad. [01:43:03] Speaker E: Oh, that would be real bad. [01:43:04] Speaker B: That's. [01:43:05] Speaker E: That wasn't even on my radar. Greta. I was thinking. I was thinking small fish. [01:43:10] Speaker B: I was thinking. [01:43:10] Speaker F: You were thinking. You were thinking earthly concerns. [01:43:13] Speaker E: Yeah, I was thinking hag me score. [01:43:16] Speaker B: Or. Or small fish God, not big bad dragon God. [01:43:22] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:43:24] Speaker B: I guess we could call up miscore and make sure she's. [01:43:27] Speaker F: I don't want to follow up. [01:43:28] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, we shouldn't call her. [01:43:30] Speaker E: We already killed the count, so she's. [01:43:32] Speaker B: Gonna want Craig's into the bargain. [01:43:37] Speaker F: You're wearing your necklace, right? [01:43:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:43:40] Speaker F: I mean, I think we should just ignore it. Not ignore it, but what can we do about it? We can't do anything about it. So I think you should continue with your dream. If you want to do a dream. [01:43:51] Speaker B: Okay. You want to augury it up before the dream. I mean, we don't have to. [01:43:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [01:43:54] Speaker F: Who are you gonna call? [01:43:56] Speaker B: I'm gonna call the ghostbusters Sorry. You said. [01:44:00] Speaker C: Who you gonna call the room singing? Cause it's a sky. [01:44:05] Speaker D: Sky. [01:44:05] Speaker A: You're a sky full of butt. [01:44:10] Speaker E: That's on the new Taylor Swift album. [01:44:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. [01:44:24] Speaker E: Bye. [01:44:24] Speaker C: Greta with decisions. [01:44:28] Speaker B: I'm gonna call Loshla. [01:44:30] Speaker E: And Greta went outside the tree to get a snack. [01:44:34] Speaker C: So you are. You are dreaming or you are sending to Lasha. [01:44:38] Speaker E: No, no, no. I'm not sending. [01:44:41] Speaker A: Okay. [01:44:42] Speaker C: So, Ro. [01:44:45] Speaker E: She wanted to augury it up. She wanted to augury it up about Lushula. [01:44:55] Speaker F: Don't do that. [01:45:01] Speaker D: I can't see you. [01:45:04] Speaker E: I'm dying. [01:45:06] Speaker F: I would like to ask. Okay. Okay. I am going to cast my augury bones. My beautiful. My nice ones that I got from Ergberg. I'm gonna roll them around in my hand. The bird. Bird. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm just gonna ask. How is this call with. With Lash? How is. How is visiting Lashla's dream gonna go? [01:45:39] Speaker A: You raise your hands, and as you. [01:45:40] Speaker C: Whisper the incantation and connect to Ioun. [01:45:42] Speaker A: And drop the bones down on the ground, the bones fall. And how did we have it marked? [01:45:50] Speaker C: Which side was wheel and which side was wha. [01:45:53] Speaker F: I don't remember. [01:45:55] Speaker A: Let's say. Let's say that you have one side of the bones carefully inlaid with small gems, and the others are scored with scarring, like brakes. The bones land in all seven of them across the floor, land in bizarre positions, aligning on top of each other and resting at angles and falling so that none of them rotate fully to either a scarred or a Gemini side. None of them fall at either wheel or. [01:46:29] Speaker C: Whoa. [01:46:31] Speaker A: A result you have never witnessed. [01:46:34] Speaker B: Beautiful. [01:46:35] Speaker F: Okay. [01:46:38] Speaker C: And in fact. [01:46:41] Speaker A: I mean, like. No, this is saying something to you. [01:46:43] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:46:44] Speaker I: This is. [01:46:44] Speaker A: This is a divining magic. This is not a result that should happen. Like. Okay, it must indicate either wheel or woe, and it is indicating neither perfectly. You have never heard of this phenomena. [01:47:02] Speaker B: Is our magic working? Okay. [01:47:06] Speaker F: I cast light. Does it work? Okay. [01:47:10] Speaker A: Light appears in your fingers. [01:47:13] Speaker B: I whistle, cast, press to digitate. [01:47:17] Speaker A: Some of the needles fly off of your boots from nearby. [01:47:20] Speaker C: Craig in his fart in his sleep. And something nearby is cleaned. [01:47:24] Speaker A: Magic appears to be functioning. [01:47:28] Speaker D: Okay. [01:47:31] Speaker A: Also, Craig fart. [01:47:33] Speaker B: Oh, well, I pressed the digitate that. [01:47:35] Speaker D: Away. [01:47:38] Speaker A: He goes again. It's like he knows. [01:47:42] Speaker F: I take out my sketchbook and I sketch the results just to, like, record them. [01:47:50] Speaker C: And you do notes about when they. [01:47:53] Speaker F: Happened and how in the question I asked. And I look at Ro and I say, should I. Should I try again? [01:48:03] Speaker B: Does it does it. How much does it cost you to do it again? [01:48:08] Speaker F: Just another spell slot, I guess. [01:48:11] Speaker B: Try to see if it. If something's gone wrong. [01:48:16] Speaker D: Okay. [01:48:17] Speaker B: Or I guess you could ask it something else. [01:48:24] Speaker F: Okay. I, I gather them up and I, like, roll each one in my hands. [01:48:32] Speaker I: Just like you feel the tissue beneath your thumb. [01:48:36] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:48:37] Speaker F: Noting the feeling of each one. And then I, I think to myself, and I, I, I supplicate my. [01:48:49] Speaker D: And I. [01:48:53] Speaker F: I ask how will talking with Lashla? No, we don't want to talk with her. She's like, silent for a long time and she starts like, opening her mouth and then closing. So she thinks her, her brow is. Is furrowed and she just sits there and thinks for a little bit. And then she just. She doesn't like, think of a specific. She imagines Rose plan to. To show up as. As her sister and just have a casual conversation without. Without revealing ourselves. But she doesn't imagine a nightmare. She just imagines showing up as a sister having a chat and just a regular dream. A regular. As a dream as possible. Without revealing our identities and no nightmare. And she cast the stones to. Or the bones to see how that would go. [01:50:12] Speaker I: You scatter the bones down. [01:50:16] Speaker A: Into lying in bizarre position, not matching the first. [01:50:20] Speaker I: In a new pattern. [01:50:21] Speaker A: Each of them falls in just such a way that none of them can be interpreted as lying either on their wheel or woe side. An incredibly unlikely series of events. And how they tumble to the ground and scatter. Some even laying upon each other to hold up. None of them rotating either to their wheel or their woe side. [01:50:41] Speaker F: Okay. Okay. [01:50:44] Speaker B: Weird. [01:50:45] Speaker C: Also, make sure you're tracking spell schloss. [01:50:48] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:50:49] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I guess we do this anyway. Unless that's a bad sign. Don't know. [01:50:57] Speaker F: I think it's a profoundly neutral sign. [01:50:59] Speaker B: I guess so. Okay, here's my thought. Should I dm. I'm asking you this. Do I need to make an arcana check? Should I disguise myself before entering the dream? [01:51:16] Speaker C: Could you check on what you should do? [01:51:19] Speaker B: No. I mean, like, can I? Because in this spell, everything about the dream. [01:51:24] Speaker A: You can sculpt everything about the dream. [01:51:26] Speaker B: But does it know? Do you. Do they know who the messenger is? Regardless of if they're disguised or not? [01:51:32] Speaker C: Does it specify in the dream's description that they do? [01:51:34] Speaker A: Because it doesn't. [01:51:36] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Sick. [01:51:39] Speaker C: I mean, I appreciate your deep level of honesty. I really respect it about you, but don't. Don't introduce an impediment if you don't have it. [01:51:45] Speaker B: Well, because it says if the target is awake when you cast the spell. [01:51:49] Speaker D: Spell? [01:51:49] Speaker B: The messenger. [01:51:51] Speaker C: If they're awake. [01:51:53] Speaker B: Oh, the messenger. [01:51:54] Speaker A: They're asleep. [01:51:55] Speaker B: Oh, the messenger knows it. [01:51:56] Speaker E: Not the messenger. [01:51:57] Speaker C: You are in control of every aspect. [01:51:58] Speaker E: Okay. [01:51:59] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, Greta, let's do this. I'm going to be in a bit of a trance, but I can. I won't be able to do anything, but I'll be able to be aware of you. [01:52:11] Speaker F: Okay. Just let me know if you need me to help. [01:52:17] Speaker B: Okay. What is lostrilla? [01:52:21] Speaker A: A person. [01:52:22] Speaker B: What is her race? [01:52:24] Speaker C: She is. She's drow. [01:52:33] Speaker B: I don't. [01:52:36] Speaker D: Duh. [01:52:39] Speaker F: Raid. Cash. Jackie. [01:52:40] Speaker D: Oh my gosh. [01:52:43] Speaker C: Wait, what I missed. What happened? [01:52:45] Speaker E: How Elves not sleep. [01:52:51] Speaker C: They trance. Perhaps dream could affect them in a trance. [01:52:55] Speaker B: Okay. [01:52:55] Speaker A: You could certainly try. [01:52:56] Speaker B: You know what? [01:52:57] Speaker E: I'm gonna do it anyway. [01:52:58] Speaker B: We've been. [01:52:59] Speaker E: We've been sitting here trying. We're not doing anything else except tasting. [01:53:04] Speaker B: Blood in our mouth. [01:53:08] Speaker C: The taste is largely. [01:53:09] Speaker A: It was momentary. [01:53:10] Speaker C: It's like there was some on your. [01:53:11] Speaker A: Tongue and it dissolved. It's not. No. [01:53:13] Speaker E: Ro. Ro felt it for a long she's linger. [01:53:16] Speaker B: It's lingering. Okay, she does. She does it. Why not? [01:53:24] Speaker A: Jackie, why don't you describe to me in some detail what dream looks like? [01:53:29] Speaker E: Okay, so she sits cross legged on. [01:53:33] Speaker B: The floor where she is already. And so as she casts it, it's a one minute casting time. So she kind of. She sits cross leg, she starts playing her loot. And as she plays oh, oh, oh, she plays Isn't there a cranberry song called Dreams? Yeah, yeah, she plays that. And as she's doing it, it's almost like, you know what a teleportation circle looks like? It's like a teleportation circle of sorts because she's teleporting into someone's dream. I've thought about this a lot. It starts lighting up around her like a circle. So there's like a few like star constellations here and like like lights and. And like her magic starts seeping out of the loot and starts creating this like almost looks like a teleportation circle that is like lighting up with gold and purple magic around her. And like the moons are like turning and stuff like that as she plays this one minute tune and it starts lighting up. And then as she finishes the song and like goes fully into the spell and the trance, she like opens her eyes and her eyes are like kind of like glowing purple and gold, like starry. [01:55:08] Speaker F: Oh, so cool. [01:55:11] Speaker C: Jackie, obviously inspiration. You jiggled that pit bubble, right? [01:55:16] Speaker A: Take that. [01:55:18] Speaker C: Jackie, that was awesome. [01:55:20] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:55:21] Speaker F: So cool. [01:55:23] Speaker C: Plays a tune that is melodic but. [01:55:25] Speaker A: Also kind of haunting. [01:55:27] Speaker C: Not trying to take it from you. It can be. No, but have you. [01:55:30] Speaker A: Have you guys from. This is the most specific deep cut. But do you guys remember from Narnia, the Narnia Movie, the song Mr. Tumnus plays for Lucy on the pamphlet? [01:55:41] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:55:42] Speaker A: How it's beautiful, but. [01:55:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:55:43] Speaker A: Haunting at the beginning. [01:55:44] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah. [01:55:45] Speaker C: Like that. [01:55:46] Speaker A: Where it's lovely, but also very disquieting. [01:55:49] Speaker C: And as that sort of tune is coming out of your loot, is it Song Splitter or. [01:55:55] Speaker A: Or Soul Mender? [01:55:56] Speaker B: No, it's Soulbender. [01:55:58] Speaker C: Okay. [01:55:58] Speaker A: As you're playing Soul Mender, it's melodic but haunting. And as you play Ro. As you like. As you play the flowers in your hair close, they like. They like unbloom as you focus as if energy is pulling within you and you focus. And as you play. And that. That purple and golden light peel like, drifts away from you like mist solidifying into light and begins making this the system around you. And as the constellations of light begin rotating, all the crushed pine needles on the floor begin turning with them. And eventually the pine needles drift to line up with your circle. And eventually this. The floor is shifting around. Row and row. Eventually, as she plays in the last 20 seconds, begins lifting up off the floor. [01:56:47] Speaker F: Ah, yes. [01:56:48] Speaker A: She begins rotating like an inch off the floor with everything. And once. Once she opens her eyes back up, all of the needles lift up so that the light, the circle of light, light around her from the spell, is still rotating with her where she's floating an inch off the ground. But all the needles lift up to occupy a three dimensional space around here, creating physical representations of the constellations in her circle floating around her. And when her eyes reopen in golden and purple constellations, like an amethyst eddied. Amethyst eddied. Background of her eyes. And her eyes filled with golden constellations. All the flowers in her hair rebloom with gold. Golden light. And it's like they release little puffs of pollen like constellations. And as she's playing. And that was. I love Christian. Jackie. Hey. Hey. [01:57:39] Speaker C: Teamwork. Yeah. [01:57:42] Speaker F: Yeah, yeah. [01:57:43] Speaker C: Lane is not here to veto me. This is the one time I'll ever get it. I'm writing down DM inspiration. [01:57:48] Speaker H: I'm sorry. [01:57:49] Speaker C: I feel like I've been negative on Landon today. I love that guy. He's amazing. [01:57:52] Speaker E: No, it's just fine. It's just fun to talk. [01:57:56] Speaker B: To talk. [01:57:57] Speaker C: I love him. [01:57:58] Speaker B: He's you know, when he's not here? No, we love him. [01:58:03] Speaker C: That guy sure is gassy here about the time he put his paint on. So as you rotate and float row. [01:58:12] Speaker A: Your world dissolves and a soft, misty one arises. And you reach your consciousness across time and space, out toward the mind of another. And you touch nothing. And in this moment, Ro, you feel the fingers of your incredibly powerful mind. One of the most powerful bards in the world, you are. You and your compatriots are becoming some most powerful people in this world. You sense your fingers touching the minds of other Elfkin Trancing. You touch nothing. If you would like. Ra. Just because I liked your spell description so very much, because you've had the spell for such a long time and not used it. You can make an arcana check if you want. For me to try and redirect this spell at someone else. [01:59:13] Speaker C: I am not saying we will ever get to do this again, because that's crazy. But, yeah, I have loved this moment and I loved how creative you've been, and I want to. [01:59:20] Speaker A: I want to. [01:59:21] Speaker C: I wanted to be rewarded. [01:59:22] Speaker B: Okay. [01:59:23] Speaker A: So make an arcana check for me if you want. [01:59:26] Speaker B: Okay. That is a 19. [01:59:38] Speaker A: Okay. Okay, that'll. Just get it. [01:59:40] Speaker B: Okay. [01:59:41] Speaker A: Just get it. [01:59:41] Speaker C: It. [01:59:43] Speaker D: I rolled. [01:59:44] Speaker B: I rolled a 4, but I have a plus. [01:59:46] Speaker F: 15. [01:59:48] Speaker E: That's where I was like, oh. [01:59:52] Speaker F: But. [01:59:52] Speaker E: I have a plus. [01:59:53] Speaker A: That's an insane arcana modifier. [01:59:55] Speaker C: Yeah, you have expertise. [01:59:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:59:59] Speaker H: Jeez. [02:00:04] Speaker A: At whom do you redirect the spell casting? Okay. You reach out into the world. [02:00:17] Speaker C: And. [02:00:18] Speaker A: You feel a consciousness. [02:00:20] Speaker H: Ra. [02:00:22] Speaker A: Jackie, this is cool because there's tension music right now, but you're the villain, so you feel a mind somewhere in the world, and there's a connection, bro. For this moment, you feel this sensation, this out of body sensation, like you are above someone. Like you have strings around their mind. [02:00:48] Speaker G: And you can feel it. [02:00:50] Speaker A: Oh, this is how Miscor feels. [02:00:52] Speaker B: Oh, no. [02:00:56] Speaker A: You're aware of that internally, but. But you feel you have touched. [02:01:00] Speaker C: Oh, he has to make a saving throw, doesn't he? What kind of saving throw do I make? [02:01:04] Speaker B: No, he doesn't have to make a saving throw unless I. I don't think so. He doesn't have to make a saving throw unless I. Unless I appear monstrous and terrifying. [02:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [02:01:19] Speaker C: Okay, okay. So sorry. [02:01:20] Speaker G: Please continue. [02:01:21] Speaker A: Please continue. Holding mind in the palm of your hand in this moment, what dream do you construct for him? And also, Ro, as you hold his mind, you feel you are interrupting. Deeply concerned in unrestful sleep, you are holding the mind of A man whose subconscious is terribly perplexed. [02:01:49] Speaker B: Want to appear as Lashla to him. [02:01:54] Speaker F: Oh. [02:01:57] Speaker B: And can it be. [02:01:59] Speaker C: Oh, Jackie, whatever the end of this sentence is. [02:02:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yes. Describe everything. You're the DM of this mainstream. [02:02:06] Speaker B: When we. I I REM. When Greta looked on the KEFs that time, it was in the mirror or it was in the ball. The crystal ball. Right. So we could see it as well. [02:02:20] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes, yes. [02:02:21] Speaker D: Okay. [02:02:22] Speaker B: I wanted to be, like, standing, like, in that courtyard. [02:02:25] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [02:02:29] Speaker B: But I want it to be. I don't know if this may be a little too terrifying, but I want it to be. Losha is who I appear to him as. And I want like. Because wasn't there. It wasn't like a castle, but it was like kind of like fort, like. [02:02:47] Speaker A: Right, yes, yes. [02:02:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:02:49] Speaker C: Like a battlement. [02:02:51] Speaker B: Can it all be crumbled? And. And they're just both there. It's just the them. Like, there's no one else around. It's cloudy and stormy and it's kind of in ruins. And she's there. Lashla is there, standing in front of him. [02:03:15] Speaker I: Ro, as you. [02:03:18] Speaker A: This shapeless face held within the very clouds of his dream. As you construct this space and the clouds build and mount, some of the swirl of their shape becomes the invasion visible shape of your face looking down over the scene, like Mufasa's face in the Lion King, observing. I was thinking so much about Ro that I almost said the Lion Queen. [02:03:46] Speaker C: And so, as you gaze down, you. [02:03:48] Speaker A: Look at a shattered, ruined landscape, a Kefkan landscape, barren and dry and brown ground. And you see a fort, a fortress, training grounds for military practice. And just as you've described it, the fortress is caved in and cracked and decayed, and the walls are toppled. And in the middle of the courtyard stands the slightly tall, square jawed half drow, very much heavily weighing upon his human featured man, you know to be Viscuit, his pale hair shorn short as if cut for some sort of a military induction, a strange affectation of the dream you did not necessarily intend, but is manifesting on his head for some reason, perhaps reflecting an event in his life that's connected to this mental state. As he stands there in his armor itself, looking rusted, you also will Lashla's image to be next to him, beautiful and haunting, heavily armored with her blades at her side. And they stand there looking at the worried fortress, and you look on his face a look of panic. He pants heavily and looks around at the fortress before turning and looking at her. And it's at her. He looks most afraid. He steps back, confused, and he goes. [02:05:08] Speaker G: This killed me. How did this happen? What is all of this? [02:05:24] Speaker B: When I. When I talk as Lashla, will it be Rose? [02:05:28] Speaker A: You are in full control. [02:05:31] Speaker B: You are running the stream, okay? She's. She's gonna look at him and she's just gonna stare him down. And she says, what are you gonna do about it, Biscuit? What are you gonna do about it? [02:05:44] Speaker A: Falls to his knees, collapses before his commander. Every last bit of confident Persona of capable identity, the man who made your skin crawl row sloughs off in a moment. He collapses down to his knees, the armor loudly onto the stone as he falls forward. He falls even to his hands, all fours prostrate before her. And tears stream down his face as he begs. [02:06:15] Speaker G: I can't do anything. Stop haunting me. [02:06:19] Speaker C: I am not deserving of this. [02:06:22] Speaker G: He is hundreds, thousands of years of culture such away in a minute. Let me die. I can't enjoy this. I can't. I've lost everything. Commander. You must be alive. You must be. [02:06:45] Speaker B: Where am I? [02:06:49] Speaker A: He looks up and as you look at him, you look at the terrified white, pale, pleading eyes and constricted pupils of a man possessed by fear. Stress strickens his face. The veins pulse out in his neck and on his forehead. His face is tight with the pressure his crying is putting in. His fears stream down his face. He looks up at you and he says. [02:07:13] Speaker G: The grave the of all our. [02:07:18] Speaker C: Nation. [02:07:20] Speaker G: And I am forever alone. Speak a final word of kindness to me, Commander. Please. [02:07:37] Speaker B: You can wake now. Oh, go ahead. [02:07:42] Speaker A: As you rest there in the clouds, looking down on this dream that you control. [02:07:53] Speaker G: There'S lightning that runs through the clouds. [02:07:58] Speaker A: Which you did not will. [02:08:00] Speaker G: It sparks and feels strange. You feel the shiver up your spine. You taste in your mouth a bit of blood. [02:08:10] Speaker E: No. [02:08:11] Speaker F: What we. What color? [02:08:12] Speaker A: And Greta, what color? Colors of blood in the chamber, watching rotate in the air with her spell rotating around her, completely unconscious, with her eyes flaring with magic, she is silently continuing to play the tune on her loot. You watch as all the con. As all the constellations rotating around her. You watch as one of the bundles of needles compresses and begins to glow with its own light, a sickly reddish hue. And it opens up wider. [02:08:46] Speaker F: Okay. And you watch as grab Ro's shoulder and shake her. [02:08:51] Speaker A: She is surrounded by this field of magic. As you go to step in, Greta, I'd like you to make me a dexterity saving throw. We will come back to this. Ro. In your dream, in the Dream you are running, it manifests strangely because you're the one in control. But you, in the clouds, feel this unease as lightning through the crowd, through the clouds. And the lightning has a reddish hue as it snaps and cracks. What are you doing? As you're in control of this dream. [02:09:31] Speaker B: Look at Biscuit. And I. I say, do you see that? And I point to the red. I don't know if he sees it. [02:09:38] Speaker A: Loa. [02:09:39] Speaker C: Loa just points up, racing your words. [02:09:41] Speaker A: And she points and directs him. He looks up and sits up in confusion. He turns back to L. He crawls toward her. He crawls up and grabs her hands with his, pleadingly. You feel you embodying L in this moment, aware of it. You feel him pull her down. And he says. [02:10:03] Speaker G: Tell me it was all a dream, Commander. Tell me it's all a nightmare, and I'll wake up back to you. [02:10:12] Speaker A: N. Ro. You feel yourself moving with the clouds. The dream is spinning beneath you as you, the storm, are being pulled around. And the storm, your storm you made, is rising up taller, like a cyclonic funnel around the fortress. And as the ground begins to whip, he falls down on all fours and weeps. And you feel Lashla, the construct you have of her, quiver and shake for a moment, and more lightning all around. And you watch as blood seeps up out of the broken fractures of the fortress. Greta. [02:10:49] Speaker I: No, outside of the dream. [02:10:50] Speaker H: What did you get on that? [02:10:50] Speaker A: Dexterity savings, though? [02:10:51] Speaker F: I got a 14. [02:10:54] Speaker H: Okay. [02:10:55] Speaker F: I'm wishing I was attuned to that ring. [02:10:58] Speaker C: Could have been. [02:11:00] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [02:11:05] Speaker C: From where you are, you go to. [02:11:08] Speaker A: Reach in to grab roe, and pine needles from the constellations fly toward you, and they stick in your skin. Wow. [02:11:17] Speaker C: And as 30 or 40 of them. [02:11:19] Speaker A: Into your skin, you take six points of piercing damage. [02:11:22] Speaker D: Okay. [02:11:23] Speaker A: From pine needles just jabbing themselves into you like syringes. [02:11:26] Speaker B: Am I aware of this? [02:11:28] Speaker I: Oh, you're. [02:11:29] Speaker C: You're in your dream. [02:11:30] Speaker B: Yeah, but it. But it says, I'm aware of my surroundings. I just can't do anything about them on the outside of the dream. [02:11:37] Speaker C: Never mind. [02:11:38] Speaker A: You're aware of both things happening, so. [02:11:40] Speaker C: You'Re trapped between the two. Thank you for specifying that for yourself, Jackie. Greta. [02:11:46] Speaker A: It hurts, but you can continue to reach in if you want. [02:11:52] Speaker F: Yeah, I try and grab her shoulder, push further in. [02:11:56] Speaker E: I don't try and grab her. [02:11:57] Speaker F: I try and shove her. [02:12:00] Speaker A: Okay. [02:12:00] Speaker C: Okay. [02:12:02] Speaker F: I'm trying to knock her off balance. [02:12:04] Speaker C: Yeah, give me an athletics check. [02:12:05] Speaker A: You're trying to re. To beat rose spell, save DC. What's your spell save RO. [02:12:12] Speaker B: 18. [02:12:14] Speaker F: Yeah. And athletics. An 8. [02:12:21] Speaker A: Greta, you push forward further in the spell, and you push, and she doesn't budge. In fact, the entire spell shifts with you, Ro back within the dreamscape. [02:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm As. I'm going to have Lashla, or I'm going to try to have Lashla? Lashla. Can't say it. Grab Fiskit's shoulder and say, quick, you can wake up. Just tell me who killed me. [02:12:53] Speaker A: He looks and he says, I don't know. [02:12:58] Speaker G: Everything's just gone. [02:13:01] Speaker B: Okay. As he says that, I'm gonna try to end the. End the dream in the. In the trance. [02:13:08] Speaker A: Bro, give me an arcana check. This is opposed. [02:13:14] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm not able to just end it like it says in this spell. Cause of the red lightning. [02:13:21] Speaker B: Okay, well, I rolled a two, so I'm going to use my inspiration. Okay. That wasn't. That's a dirty 20. Rolled a five. Just an arcana check. Right straight Arcana. [02:13:42] Speaker A: Well, as you go to try and shift the dream, you go to pull your focus away. And as Lashla steps back from Viskit, she steps into force at her back. There's a momentary pressure in her back in the middle before. [02:13:59] Speaker H: Up and out. [02:14:00] Speaker A: Of the chest of her armor, piercing through the plate. In one moment, she. And you're not her. You don't feel it, but you watch the puppet you're commanding be lifted up. And the blade that pierces through her is sharp, obsidian. As it lifts up, you watch the pale face of a woman you've never recognized lean in past Lashla's ear and. [02:14:25] Speaker G: Say, all your empires will burn. [02:14:31] Speaker A: And then pulls the sword back through, and you wash Lashla, weirdly, cover over with ice, and then shatter into a thousand pieces. [02:14:41] Speaker F: Wait. [02:14:42] Speaker B: Someone leaned into Lashla? [02:14:45] Speaker A: The person who stabbed her from behind. This pale, beautiful woman with dark hair. [02:14:49] Speaker B: That I've never seen. [02:14:50] Speaker A: All your empires will burn. Then, as she pulled the blade out, Lashla froze and shattered into a thousand pieces. At the level of the storm, you watch as the entire fortress then crumbles in on itself, destroying everything therein. And I'm gonna. This is your spell. So, Ro, I'm gonna call this a charisma saving throw. Okay, you are trying to beat. [02:15:21] Speaker C: What's your charisma modifier. [02:15:22] Speaker A: Trying to make it. Make sure I'm saying a decent. [02:15:26] Speaker B: Max. [02:15:27] Speaker C: Okay, well, your charisma saving throw modifier. [02:15:30] Speaker B: Oh, my Charisma saving throw is plus 10. [02:15:35] Speaker I: Yeah. [02:15:37] Speaker A: I'm going to call this D.C. i know. I want it to be higher than 25, but I don't want to make it 30. [02:15:45] Speaker C: D.C. can I. I rolled 27. [02:15:51] Speaker A: Yeah, go ahead. [02:15:52] Speaker B: Okay. [02:15:52] Speaker H: You. [02:15:53] Speaker B: You could have made it a 30 because I rolled a dirty 20, and that's plus 10. So I rolled a. I got a 30. [02:15:58] Speaker F: Oh, wow. [02:16:00] Speaker A: You rolled a dirty 20. [02:16:02] Speaker B: No, I rolled. I. Sorry. I rolled nat 20, and it's plus 10, so it's 30. [02:16:08] Speaker C: Hey, that's great. No, no, no, don't regret that. [02:16:11] Speaker B: No, I'm not regretting that. I'm just saying, like, that's funny that you said 30 because I rolled 30. [02:16:19] Speaker A: And row. As you pull yourself back from the dream, Greta, from where you are in the field, trying to sh. [02:16:26] Speaker C: To shake Ro. [02:16:27] Speaker A: You watch as all the needles. [02:16:30] Speaker C: Like, they move out to the edge of the field. [02:16:32] Speaker A: And electricity, red electricity, begins conducting themselves around it. And before it can shock all of you in between, Ro, out of her dream. And all the magic falls apart before you all can be electrocuted. And then you all just stand there. [02:16:51] Speaker F: What happened? [02:16:52] Speaker A: Your arm is covered in pine needles underneath your skin. [02:16:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you're. Do you want me to do that? [02:16:59] Speaker F: I'm fine. I. I, like. I wounds myself first. I don't. I just pull them out. I. I don't care wounds. [02:17:06] Speaker C: I mean, you can, like, brush them. [02:17:08] Speaker A: Out of your skin and then heal yourself. [02:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah, it was. I guess it was. I guess it was the big bad thing that you. [02:17:16] Speaker F: Yeah. [02:17:17] Speaker D: Said. [02:17:21] Speaker B: I. I couldn't reach Lushla. I went. I. [02:17:25] Speaker F: Okay. [02:17:26] Speaker B: I went to this gate. [02:17:28] Speaker F: Oh, wow. [02:17:31] Speaker A: If. [02:17:32] Speaker B: If I. If his dream. Well, I mean, there was lightning, like, red light in the dream. I should be able to control it, but I wasn't able to control. Control everything. But if. If his dream was right, if he. I think L. Is dead. [02:17:52] Speaker F: Why? [02:17:55] Speaker B: He thought she was dead. Huh? Like, I couldn't reach out to her dream. [02:18:06] Speaker F: Yeah. And the bones. The bones gave us that weird answer. [02:18:10] Speaker B: That's true. [02:18:12] Speaker F: Twice. [02:18:14] Speaker B: But he. He acted like it was like, dm. [02:18:23] Speaker E: Am I correct that he said he. [02:18:24] Speaker B: What did he say exactly? What was it that he said? That he said something about, like, I'm the last one or something? [02:18:32] Speaker F: He said, let me die. [02:18:34] Speaker B: He said, let me die. But didn't he say, let me. I'm all alone or something? They say something like that. [02:18:39] Speaker F: He did say something like that, yeah. [02:18:42] Speaker B: I relay everything to Greta. No, you're fine. I do. Why would. What would the bloodied one have? Why would that even. Why would he even care about the Cavs? [02:19:03] Speaker F: Yeah, well, I mean, do you think it's Related to. I mean, because this did. This did. Did we get that shudder when we started talking about this? You think it's related, or do you think it's just. Oh, like, why would he care about us? I think spying on the cats or going into lossless dream, you know. [02:19:35] Speaker B: I. [02:19:37] Speaker A: You all are left. There's. There's no sudden moment again, no massive experience. [02:19:43] Speaker G: But you all have the worst feeling in the pits of your stomach. [02:19:49] Speaker C: Something. Something. [02:19:52] Speaker A: Has happened. The connection. The powerful connection you all have to the magic of this world, to reality. [02:20:00] Speaker I: You felt something. Something is. [02:20:07] Speaker C: Wrong. [02:20:11] Speaker A: You all can feel it in your gu. [02:20:23] Speaker F: You think it's something to do with our magic. [02:20:27] Speaker B: Or the magic, like the deep magic? I mean, we're all kind of connected to the Wells now, right? With the Maker? [02:20:36] Speaker D: Yeah. [02:20:37] Speaker F: Yeah. [02:20:38] Speaker B: What if he's closer than we thought to getting. [02:20:45] Speaker F: What does that have to do with Lashla? You think she's dead? [02:20:57] Speaker B: Maybe. I think that's the least of our problems right now, though. [02:21:01] Speaker F: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. [02:21:03] Speaker B: Is there the only reason he would want the Kes or have anything to do with them? As if they were near a Wellspring or something? [02:21:16] Speaker F: Well, remember, I. I. Okay. Share what I share what my curious speaker said the other day. The iron in. In Kevin Sands is from the blood of a Wellspring. Or if they're serving him. Because, remember, we saw that giant thing they were building. Could that be some kind of. [02:21:45] Speaker B: I don't think he'd be serving him. I. I don't think he would need them. Wait. The blood of a Wellspring. What if he's already gotten to their Wellspring? If there's a Wellspring in Keth and he drained it, well, that would have. [02:22:01] Speaker F: Been so long ago. This is the iron in their sands. Like their. Their metals are. Are made of this. [02:22:12] Speaker B: But you said he doesn't speak. It doesn't speak in metaphor. Yeah. [02:22:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:22:30] Speaker B: I guess it could be. I don't know. They could be work. Shista could have killed them. I really. I try to. I try to. Can I do. Can I do an artistry trick and try to draw the picture of the lady that killed Lashla? [02:22:50] Speaker F: For. Cool. [02:22:51] Speaker B: For Greta. [02:22:52] Speaker C: Sure. [02:22:53] Speaker A: Give me an artistry check to. [02:22:54] Speaker C: Oh, Descriptive artistry. We've never used it this way. [02:22:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:22:59] Speaker A: Jackie, try and describe the lady who you saw in the dream. I love that use of that. [02:23:05] Speaker C: That's very clever. [02:23:06] Speaker B: That's 8 and 18. [02:23:10] Speaker A: Okay, you very effectively describe her handsome features. She's a gorgeous woman. Very, very regal features. Not a particularly tall Person, but in no way short. There's something about the shape of her face that rings a bell that you draw. [02:23:35] Speaker F: Ah, the shape of her face. [02:23:38] Speaker A: Long and black with a little bit of curl to it. There's something about. You've seen those features before. [02:23:44] Speaker C: Both of you guys, give me. [02:23:50] Speaker A: Both of you all give me an intelligence or an investigation check. Your choice. I don't know. It's kind of a stretch on this one. [02:23:58] Speaker B: Okay. [02:24:00] Speaker C: I mean, you can specify investigation if you want. [02:24:03] Speaker E: Oh, my God, No. [02:24:07] Speaker F: I got a nine. [02:24:11] Speaker B: I got a 16. [02:24:17] Speaker A: Greta, you've never seen this person. But, bro, as you sit there and describe the features, you've never seen her either. She doesn't look the same at all. [02:24:28] Speaker H: But, you know, her features actually remind. [02:24:30] Speaker A: You a lot of Princess Savina, the princess of Telethonon. Now, her face. No, no, no, no or no. Princess Mira. Princess Mira. Princess Mira of Telethenon. [02:24:49] Speaker C: What. [02:24:49] Speaker A: Striking resemblance, but not her face. She seems. She did have a Tethian accent. [02:25:00] Speaker B: Do I remember how many sib. Like, how many siblings King had? [02:25:07] Speaker A: Why don't you give me. Why don't you give me a history check? How many children were in the royal family? [02:25:12] Speaker B: How many children. I don't know what that was. Can I. Wait, can I relay this? [02:25:18] Speaker C: That's the five points of hang. [02:25:19] Speaker B: Can I relay this to Greta and she assists? [02:25:25] Speaker A: Yes. [02:25:29] Speaker C: Stretching the help action a little bit. That was very mechanical and not very. [02:25:33] Speaker A: Role play, but it's fine. [02:25:35] Speaker B: I. Greta, how many siblings does my future husband. [02:25:39] Speaker C: Okay, roll your thigh. Roll your. Roll your stinky thigh. [02:25:46] Speaker B: That history. [02:25:49] Speaker E: Where's my history mod? [02:25:50] Speaker B: Okay, that is a 21. [02:25:59] Speaker A: Nine. [02:26:01] Speaker B: Nine. [02:26:02] Speaker A: The king. [02:26:03] Speaker B: Dang. [02:26:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:26:05] Speaker A: Ewan was in the middle. Savina Young or Mira Young. Shavian. Older than Mira, but nearest second youngest. Savina, you've seen that portrait before. Saphina, eldest sister, eldest princess of the Telethian empire, older sister of Ewan, Xavian, and Meera. That was the face of Safina Anon, who's been dead for years. [02:26:49] Speaker F: Okay, that's. [02:26:50] Speaker B: Do the warriors of the well have, like, a way to raise the dead that we didn't know about? Greta? [02:26:59] Speaker F: Well, I'm just thinking, if either Savine is not dead or she killed Lashma a long time ago. [02:27:12] Speaker B: Then who's been being lo. [02:27:17] Speaker F: Sorry. [02:27:17] Speaker E: That was the worst wording ever. I'm so sorry. [02:27:20] Speaker C: Credit. Give me an intelligence check. [02:27:27] Speaker E: Who's been being lashed? [02:27:32] Speaker C: Okay, you definitely met Lashla late last year. [02:27:35] Speaker F: No, I know. [02:27:36] Speaker A: Very much alive. [02:27:37] Speaker F: Yeah, but maybe she's not. [02:27:40] Speaker E: We Just saw a cow that was a human, but it was a tiger with bats. [02:27:46] Speaker F: I. I'm thinking maybe she's dead. [02:27:48] Speaker B: Maybe she's like, you know what? [02:27:50] Speaker A: Scratch that, 17. Maybe she was always dead. [02:27:53] Speaker C: That is absolutely a possibility. No, no, no, no, no, no. Fight for it. [02:27:58] Speaker A: That is your theory. [02:28:00] Speaker F: You did just give us an evil man who was a tiger. [02:28:05] Speaker E: Yeah. And then another tiger. She could have one of those rings. [02:28:09] Speaker G: She could be a tiger. [02:28:11] Speaker F: You gave us an evil man who's a tiger. [02:28:14] Speaker B: And then another. [02:28:15] Speaker E: I think this means that she's not. [02:28:17] Speaker C: If you want to fight me on this, know that you have won this battle. [02:28:20] Speaker E: I think that means that she's not dead. By the logistics of. [02:28:25] Speaker C: She has not been dead. [02:28:26] Speaker E: I mean, yeah, like, she wasn't dead when we met her, so is she dead? [02:28:30] Speaker F: I don't know. [02:28:31] Speaker E: She's dead now. [02:28:33] Speaker C: She wasn't dead when we met her. [02:28:35] Speaker E: She wasn't dead when we met her. [02:28:38] Speaker C: She was definitely alive when we met her. [02:28:40] Speaker E: I'm writing that one down. But I don't think. [02:28:48] Speaker B: I don't think someone was. I don't think someone was, like, masquerading as Lashla. So maybe she. Maybe their sister wasn't dead. Maybe she was in hiding. I mean, the king had to go in hiding. Maybe she's been in hiding all this time. [02:29:09] Speaker F: Well, if we're really, really sure that Lasha isn't dead. And the only. [02:29:14] Speaker E: No, I think Loa is dead. But she wasn't dead a month or. [02:29:20] Speaker C: Two ago when we met her. [02:29:23] Speaker E: I think she recently died, and we. [02:29:27] Speaker F: Think that the person who's dead killed her. [02:29:30] Speaker E: Okay, you know what I'm gonna do? This is a bad idea, Greta. But it's late, and I'm gonna do. [02:29:37] Speaker B: Something I shouldn't do. [02:29:38] Speaker C: Hey, I love that somebody's taking an action. That's cool. [02:29:41] Speaker E: Ro takes that stone, the sending stone. No, we've had. We've been talking to shmagoo. [02:29:48] Speaker C: We're not talking. [02:29:49] Speaker F: He's not had. [02:29:50] Speaker D: This stone. [02:29:51] Speaker F: I put it back in Craig's mouth. [02:29:53] Speaker E: She sins. [02:29:56] Speaker D: She. [02:29:57] Speaker E: First of all, she tries to sin to Lashla. [02:30:00] Speaker C: Sorry. I will let you complete this. The visual of Craig peacefully sleeping, Greta. [02:30:05] Speaker A: Walking up and just being like. [02:30:06] Speaker C: Like, like, I'm gonna go put the stone up now. [02:30:08] Speaker B: Now. [02:30:08] Speaker C: So he's just like. And he's. But he's just like. And walk away. It's like putting up the rock. [02:30:17] Speaker F: I gotta charge it. [02:30:19] Speaker E: I send to Lashla. [02:30:21] Speaker B: I try to send a Lashla. [02:30:24] Speaker A: No connection forms. [02:30:26] Speaker F: I'm gonna text Landon that we're sending to Lashla. [02:30:30] Speaker E: He's like you said. No big decisions. I send toviscuit. [02:30:42] Speaker A: Okay. [02:30:42] Speaker B: Aggro. [02:30:44] Speaker A: You feel a connection form and what do you say to Lt. Volat's Viskit? [02:30:53] Speaker B: Viskit? Be straight with me. Is Loshla Dade. Oh, my gosh. [02:31:06] Speaker F: He just. [02:31:11] Speaker I: You in my mind. [02:31:13] Speaker E: Yes. [02:31:14] Speaker B: Tell me the truth. I know the exact dream. I know I can relay your dream. What's the dream? The dream Is Loshla dead in my mind. Is Loshla dead in real life? Not in your dream. Is she dead? [02:31:35] Speaker G: I don't know what is so uniquely inspired you to torture me. But I will make every last day of your life Biscuit suffering. [02:31:48] Speaker H: You're nauseous. [02:31:50] Speaker D: Listen. [02:31:52] Speaker G: Will kill whom you love. [02:31:55] Speaker E: This died in your dreams and in a. [02:31:59] Speaker B: In a pile of your ruined Kefkan fort. I know what's going on in your dreams, or at least this one. And I need to know for the sake of the world, if Loshla Ro is dead. [02:32:16] Speaker A: As you're talking biscuits. Gonna make an insight check. [02:32:21] Speaker F: Okay. [02:32:23] Speaker A: I need you to make either a deception or a persuasion check. [02:32:26] Speaker B: Okay? Okay. Do I tell you what I got? [02:32:37] Speaker H: Yep. [02:32:37] Speaker C: That's how this works. [02:32:38] Speaker B: A21. [02:32:41] Speaker A: Okay. He pauses and he goes. [02:32:47] Speaker I: Wait. [02:32:50] Speaker G: You don't know this is genuine advice into you. [02:32:58] Speaker B: What Wasn't me. [02:33:01] Speaker I: Speak to me. [02:33:02] Speaker G: No longer in a green bottle. I don't fear you. [02:33:08] Speaker A: Cool enough. [02:33:11] Speaker G: Everything is gone. [02:33:14] Speaker B: Well, that answers that. [02:33:18] Speaker A: Do you serve the connection? R. [02:33:23] Speaker B: I try one more time. I say who. [02:33:25] Speaker A: You're still connect. [02:33:26] Speaker B: Okay? [02:33:27] Speaker D: I am. [02:33:27] Speaker B: I say that's fine. I just. [02:33:36] Speaker A: I have. [02:33:37] Speaker B: Who. [02:33:38] Speaker A: Who was that clarity in this moment. [02:33:42] Speaker G: But I think if everything is going to fall, it would be a good purpose for my last days making sure that you die. Thank you for giving me some clarity. Is I will kill you. [02:34:04] Speaker B: Okay. Is Loshler gone? Is DID and what's the. What's the princess's name? Zach. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Did Savina kill. Is Savina alive? And did she kill Loshl? [02:34:27] Speaker G: You've lost your mind. [02:34:31] Speaker B: Can I do an insight? Like, is he sure by him saying like you've lost your mind. Like does sure give me an insight. [02:34:38] Speaker H: Your brag, Ned. [02:34:43] Speaker B: That's a 28. [02:34:49] Speaker A: Jeez, Jack. This man could not be more honest. You're not speaking to a man weaving an elaborate deception in. You have known Volat Fiskit as a boogeyman figure from distance all your young life. [02:35:05] Speaker G: I go to peace on this. [02:35:09] Speaker C: I go to a piece. She's going to A piece. [02:35:14] Speaker E: The Leaning Tower of Peace. [02:35:18] Speaker A: Not only. I like that she took the headphones so she could still hear us. [02:35:22] Speaker C: That's dedication right there. Abby, don't laugh while you're pissing, okay? [02:35:27] Speaker A: Don't. Pisa. Don't piece at the floor. Not only is that demeanor, that veneer ripped away, you hear a man desperate and afraid and racked with violent confusion. [02:35:53] Speaker B: Biscuit, in your dream, you said you had lost everything. [02:35:58] Speaker G: Speak to me no longer. [02:36:00] Speaker B: Oh. [02:36:05] Speaker G: For every additional word you say, I will kill another. [02:36:08] Speaker I: Another. [02:36:08] Speaker G: Sedgeon. Sever your connection. [02:36:20] Speaker B: I'll see you in your dreams. And she severs the connection. [02:36:25] Speaker C: Okay. [02:36:31] Speaker A: And Ro as Greta. This is a tense moment, but she did have to piss as she ran. [02:36:36] Speaker C: Out of the room and up the hall and outside to go piss in the night. In this moment, Greta. Greta is canonically. Greta left. She went up the ladder, out. She is peeing in the woods. She's coming back shortly. [02:36:52] Speaker G: What are you doing? [02:36:52] Speaker A: In this moment. [02:37:03] Speaker B: I. [02:37:10] Speaker A: Man, it's a shame Abby is not here. [02:37:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [02:37:13] Speaker A: If she were out there listening to us while she at least says, I. [02:37:17] Speaker C: Really be so faster. [02:37:19] Speaker B: I look around. I look around the room. Room. Just to see if there's any other sense of that. That feeling that we had, or like the. The pine needles and all. Like, the evil room is. [02:37:45] Speaker C: You left it. [02:37:51] Speaker D: I'm back. [02:37:52] Speaker B: Well. [02:37:56] Speaker E: The Biscuit is piscuit at us. [02:38:03] Speaker F: Oh, no. [02:38:13] Speaker C: That's better than risky for the Biscuit. [02:38:21] Speaker B: He said he was gonna kill me. I mean, he's. I mean, how many times does he threaten that? And he sounds broken, though, like. Yeah, I think he's. I think she's dead. Like, I think loss was. I think Larson's gone. I think he's. I think he's putting his misplaced anger at maybe the. Kev's fallen a little bit at us, and now he wants to kill all of us. I mean, not that he didn't want. [02:38:54] Speaker E: To before, but, like. [02:38:55] Speaker F: Yeah, getting. [02:38:56] Speaker B: He's kind of honed in on the mission since he's all alone, I think. [02:39:01] Speaker F: Oh, he's. Is he. He's not the last general, is he? [02:39:04] Speaker B: Well, he's not even a general. [02:39:06] Speaker F: Oh, he's. Well, okay, then. [02:39:08] Speaker B: I mean, you know, he's just a man. There was there a few months ago, I would have felt very different about him. But after fighting what we did the last two days, I mean, I still hate him more than anything, but I don't think I fear him anymore. [02:39:29] Speaker F: That's good. [02:39:30] Speaker B: He sounded. Yeah. Broken. I almost. Almost not not quite. But almost felt sorry for him. [02:39:41] Speaker F: Yeah. So I guess. [02:39:49] Speaker D: Wow. [02:39:51] Speaker F: So you think. You think the princess is alive? [02:39:58] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't think he under. He was confused when I mentioned that. [02:40:04] Speaker F: Why would that be revealed to you? Cuz the bloody one was in your dream. Why would he tell us that? Why would he give us anything? How else would. How else would that have gotten into your dream? [02:40:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Cuz I didn't put it there. So someone had to. Either him or Shist I. What if they're. What if part of the King's family is working? Or is evil? Like working for the Bloodied One? [02:40:36] Speaker F: Why would the Bloodied One want to kill Lashla? [02:40:39] Speaker B: I don't know. [02:40:40] Speaker F: Is. [02:40:43] Speaker B: Maybe it was just a side quest for her because Lashla killed her family, right? [02:40:48] Speaker F: Maybe. Yeah. [02:40:53] Speaker B: I don't know why the Bloodied One would want to give us any information though. [02:40:59] Speaker F: Exactly. Yeah. Unless it's trying to. [02:41:15] Speaker B: I wish I knew where Viscuit was. [02:41:19] Speaker F: Well, we'll get some incense next time we're in town and I can. I can try and find out. [02:41:29] Speaker B: I don't know. I think we. I don't think we need to. I guess we should call up our friend. We made a little contract with. [02:41:40] Speaker F: I think. [02:41:41] Speaker B: But maybe she knows. [02:41:44] Speaker F: Yeah, I have a feeling she'd be on the. I say we sleep on it. [02:41:49] Speaker B: Never mind. That was gonna sound really rude. You know when you have a thought and you shouldn't say that thought. [02:41:56] Speaker F: Well, now I'm really curious. [02:41:58] Speaker B: I was gonna say we've dealt with a lot of cats lately, but I felt kind of bad about that. Never mind. [02:42:07] Speaker D: Okay, man. [02:42:07] Speaker A: I flashback to Somar camp. [02:42:14] Speaker F: I say we sleep on it. [02:42:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Tell. Tell Talo and Craig and Balls in the morning. [02:42:21] Speaker F: Yeah. [02:42:22] Speaker B: And I wonder if Triard is having a good meal. [02:42:33] Speaker F: Well. [02:42:35] Speaker D: Yeah. [02:42:37] Speaker F: We should ask in the morning after we've slept on it. Dm. [02:42:44] Speaker B: Were the moons out? Like, was they. Were they full? [02:42:49] Speaker A: There was one. There was one in a. A waxing gibus the night before. Okay. But this is the opposite time of year. When they come together, this is when they're the farthest apart. [02:43:03] Speaker F: Greta's getting extremely sleepy. [02:43:09] Speaker B: Okay. [02:43:09] Speaker C: I'm fine with we. [02:43:11] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll sleep. That's okay. [02:43:13] Speaker F: Yeah, I think maybe. I think it might be good for us to leave with an action item for tomorrow. [02:43:22] Speaker A: Now, I appreciate this approach from the players. [02:43:25] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I think that's good. [02:43:27] Speaker F: The first action item. Let's write it down somewhere to tell. [02:43:32] Speaker B: Them that the Biscuit is Biscuit. [02:43:34] Speaker C: I Don't know where this energy is coming from, but I love this right now. Planning for the next session. [02:43:40] Speaker A: Good. [02:43:42] Speaker F: Acton item for next session. [02:43:47] Speaker B: Call you Jupiter. Jupiter, you better. [02:43:52] Speaker F: And tell her Lashla is dead. More info. [02:43:59] Speaker B: More info. [02:44:00] Speaker F: Get. [02:44:02] Speaker E: I like to think that Greta is writing this in her journal as a to do list before bed. [02:44:09] Speaker F: Get more intense to cry on. What was the. Savina. Savina. [02:44:21] Speaker B: I also want to know where Biscuit is because he did kind of threaten Zegians. I didn't like that. [02:44:28] Speaker F: Yes. [02:44:31] Speaker B: Oh, and parsonage. [02:44:33] Speaker E: Parsonage real estate. [02:44:40] Speaker A: Also kill miscore. Also defeat shista. Also beat Zorkum. [02:44:47] Speaker C: Go on vacation. [02:44:49] Speaker E: Can you send me this list, Abby? [02:44:51] Speaker F: Working on it. [02:44:52] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, Abby, go faster. [02:44:56] Speaker E: Go faster, Abby, go faster. [02:45:06] Speaker C: Only on barely DND can you hear someone type up a list in real time. Nothing else is happening. We're all sitting here typing a list. Only on barely D and D. Ro thinks. [02:45:18] Speaker E: Ro thinks to herself as. [02:45:19] Speaker B: As Greta is doing her list for the night, I wonder if I. If I. Now I'm. That's the first time I've used dream. And if I do it again, like, if I just do it. Like, if I just wanted to converse with a friend in a dream, would bad things happen? Or was it because I was doing something nefarious that bad things happened? And now I feel a little guilty. But if I were to just, like, go hang out in Boz's dream right now, would it be chill or would, like, the bloodied one come in again? [02:45:53] Speaker C: That would be so funny if Rose started using this on the party membership. Every night someone goes to sleep. [02:46:00] Speaker F: I'm just saying, you. It's like the opposite of carcoin. [02:46:06] Speaker B: The last thing. [02:46:08] Speaker E: The last thing Ro does. [02:46:10] Speaker B: It goes. It goes. Greta. [02:46:12] Speaker F: Yes, I could use. [02:46:13] Speaker B: I mean, I'm a little afraid to use the dream spell because what if it, like, always brings them? But I could use the dream spell to show you guys things that I've seen. [02:46:27] Speaker F: Oh, how would that cool? That would be cool. [02:46:31] Speaker B: Like. Like if I saw something that you didn't see or a person. I could go into your dream at night and show that person to you. [02:46:42] Speaker F: You could. Oh, and then I could SCRY on them. [02:46:46] Speaker B: Yes. [02:46:47] Speaker F: You should know. I'm serious. We should do that with Savina. [02:46:49] Speaker B: Yeah, that would actually be pretty smart. Okay. [02:46:54] Speaker F: On Savina and Biscuit tomorrow, and we'll go to our splendy saw tomorrow to go to Erberg, so. And then I gotta go to Herbert. [02:47:04] Speaker B: Okay. [02:47:05] Speaker F: No, and then we'll go to Parson. [02:47:06] Speaker B: Maybe kill. No, that's all we. That's all that. Yeah. Okay. It's sleep time. Okay. Goodbye, Greta. [02:47:17] Speaker E: For Greta and Ro. [02:47:21] Speaker C: They salute each other falling asleep. We do. [02:47:25] Speaker F: We salute each other falling asleep. [02:47:27] Speaker E: We are the Dynamic duo. [02:47:30] Speaker A: Having had quite the evening. [02:47:34] Speaker C: The last of their party to wander to sleep. The fun guys retire for the evening. [02:47:40] Speaker A: Invested and motivated, but confused by the events which transpired. [02:47:45] Speaker F: Very true. [02:47:46] Speaker A: And you all do sleep well. Luna. Luna. [02:47:52] Speaker C: Hey, hey, hey. Just stop. [02:47:56] Speaker A: Sorry. The cat. As you all fall asleep, you sleep hard, you sleep well. And you awake. The next morning rested, none of you having received a dream from Carcoen. [02:48:12] Speaker F: Oh, scary. What happened to him? [02:48:14] Speaker A: And as you wake up this morning, confused, with no other information. This is where we will end.
