[00:01] Recording.
[00:13] Hello everyone, welcome back to our third session adventures.
[00:15] Your story continues and um as we dive back last we left off the story so far.
[00:28] Um, now that among the five of you, four of you have been untethered from the the conditions of the fail wild, now that you've unraveled the affairs and reverse the effects that have brought you here, still you find yourselves bound to each other um, inexplicably by the invisible threads of fate.
[00:51] Um, regardless of where you find yourself now, where you face the path ahead for some reason has destined you
[01:02] to stick together.
[01:05] As the warning from the ancient sen text that you encountered upon the three arches warns that while you are lonesome, you must not wander.
[01:13] this condition um lands in your heart as a warning against um becoming solitary.
[01:21] Yes.
[01:24] But also um you get the idea that you have now an obligation to each other to protect one another based on this fa condition.
[01:35] Uh a mystery uh a condition which still remains a mystery for the five of you.
[01:44] Now, however, there is one but last condition that must be undone for the five of you to truly be free.
[01:53] Now that Tess has or was able to um deconstruct the formula of an animalist named Alof
[02:02] Duval and was able to bring down the material cost of an Aquaria in order to cure himself as of his gold sickness.
[02:10] and Alrich was able to later rest the three restless suits of armor that have not gone to uh depart or pass on for being trapped in this um for lack of a better word cursed state.
[02:30] Um, now that you have laid them to rest, you've also untethered yourself from the fail.
[02:40] and Sheamus, now that you have found the red kite, um the sole reason that had brought you here in the first place.
[02:49] And for Poppy, now that you have eaten from the fruit of the Sunju tree, you are also now visible and the veil is lifted around you, freeing to leave from this place.
[03:03] However, leaving from this place without your fifth will entail consequent consequences.
[03:12] Odi still tethered to the fa wild remains as your last anchor to this place.
[03:18] Remains as your last trial as she is yet to find answers beyond the third arch which you have still which you are still yet to explore.
[03:31] The third arch that leads deeper into what you can gather as the twilight side of the forest.
[03:41] So therefore, the three arches stand before you as once again you return uh you return at the vortex of the forking road.
[03:52] To your left is the ruins beneath the cave.
[03:56] To your front is the hearthlet sunset forest of fay of the fable where
[04:07] animals speak and slip into the in between the cracks of the fa wild and the prime material realm.
[04:12] And on your right stands the arch leading to the twilight part of the fa wild.
[04:22] Adventurers,
[04:23] what would you like to do?
[04:29] Wow.
[04:31] It was really nice to get some rest in Mr. Alop's uh boat, was it not?
[04:39] Mhm. It was indeed very nice.
[04:45] Well, I think now it's best we move forward and I step closer toward the third third arc.
[04:50] Well, Miss Zod's already going.
[04:52] I guess we should all follow.
[04:56] Okay.
[05:00] Um, the three of you choose to persevere ahead and carry on into the third arch.
[05:07] As the the five of you near the threshold cross, you find the first arch and the second arch fade um from be uh fade towards the beyond where they lead as now your final trial ahead engulfs you in the ambit of twilight.
[05:30] You find yourself upon crossing the threshold.
[05:35] Suddenly you wear from behind you you feel the warmth of the sun of the new dawn sun uh caressing your backs and comforting you with its grace.
[05:45] You are now in the hollow ambit of the evening where the trees seem taller.
[05:53] They tower higher upon the sky and silent mysteries slip in between the shadows in.
[06:07] In mysterious procession.
[06:10] You find yourself basically trespassing in unfamiliar territory.
[06:16] Where do you do?
[06:16] Where do you lead to?
[06:19] Uh what do you want to do?
[06:24] Does does I feel hear or see anything?
[06:28] Um, you can give me a perception set or test it.
[06:35] That is a 18 + 1 19.
[06:43] With a 19 there are things in the woods.
[06:47] They move between and sometimes lies still indistinguishable from the trees [music] themselves, but they're keeping the distance as far as you can tell.
[06:59] Oh, and then do you notice anything, Mr. Tekk?
[07:06] Tekk sees shadows that shouldn't be
[07:09] Moving. However, I think we shouldn't mind them for now.
[07:15] Mhm. At least for now, they're not going to harm us.
[07:19] I think we should go forward.
[07:22] Be mindful of your surroundings, though.
[07:24] I'm going to cast dancing lights to light the way ahead of us.
[07:30] Yeah. As you cast your dancing lights, you um bower the five of you in it within its glow.
[07:40] Um the darkness keeps its um at least keeps its distance.
[07:45] Uh you get the sense that the fire lights uh the firefly surrounding you um as they were in your memory OD the firefly you um they kind of form a pattern in the air.
[08:02] Um, not not like a legible pattern, but like they are denser or more
[08:11] gathered in certain spots and they fear away or they they themselves as if driven by an unseen current steer away from certain shades.
[08:28] Perhaps we should follow the dancing lights.
[08:30] Huh?
[08:30] The fireflies rather.
[08:36] They familiar thing.
[08:40] They do look really familiar as uh when I was hunting the moon fun I mentioned before.
[08:49] There were a lot of uh fireflies in the area.
[08:52] So maybe that's where we could find it because that's what happened before I got here.
[08:53] Oh, you mean you mentioned Go.
[08:57] Sorry.
[08:57] Oh, you mean you've been healed before?
[09:02] It looks very familiar.
[09:06] Or at least the setting.
[09:10] So perhaps could be the same.
[09:14] I don't really mind creepy.
[09:16] I just have to do the job, you know.
[09:18] But now that you mention it,
[09:21] it does feel a little creepy.
[09:24] Does did OD tell us about the all bear or did you just tell us now she fell from a cliff similar to this place?
[09:32] I was able to tell you like when we were checking the arch last time I was able to talk about it a little a little a little.
[09:46] Yeah. She might have mentioned that she ran into an owl bear.
[09:53] Although be careful, guys. Uh there might be some owl bears roaming around these parts.
[10:02] And as Oh, bears.
[10:04] There's one.
[10:05] I should be warned off many.
[10:09] I'm not sure.
[10:10] I don't know if I should cast major. I'm so tapped right now.
[10:16] Right now, I think there's a path ahead.
[10:19] where the do do the fireflies lead like through a path or like they're just condensing to a certain area.
[10:29] Survival ship.
[10:29] Give me a survival check.
[10:31] Okay.
[10:37] That's a 19.
[10:40] 19.
[10:41] Everybody's rolling with a 19.
[10:47] Um, the spaces where the fireflies almost form processions um across the grove seem brighter.
[10:56] Um, it feels like wherever they they pass the shadows tend to retreat back.
[11:04] So you definitely get the sense that it's safer where the fireflies hover.
[11:12] Um, however, they are, at least from your perspective, um,
[11:18] Fickle creatures, um, somewhat unpredictable.
[11:24] So, it's up to you whether you think following them are a good idea, would be a good idea.
[11:35] Been here, Miss OD, I think you should be delaying.
[11:39] Yeah, that is right. Maybe you know where to go cuz it's my first time in here.
[11:45] I agree. So I'll you lead the way.
[11:49] All right. So I I continue to walk toward where the denser fireflies are.
[11:57] You follow at least one trail of the fireflies as there are uh fleets of them flying around um across the entire grove.
[12:06] You think at the very least you're following a trail.
[12:14] Um you're not sure if it's a trail. Of course, every now and then they scatter.
[12:19] and then they reform from what you can recognize as a path up ahead.
[12:27] Um okay.
[12:29] Um you do also OD um you you know you are aware that you are in the fa wild.
[12:42] Um, so you uh you at least know that this isn't necessarily the force that you've known.
[12:46] Yeah.
[12:47] Meaning this is also your first time here as is everyone knows.
[12:58] So if you would like to still continue push up ahead, give me a survival check since you are helming this navigation.
[13:08] Okay. I would like to push through.
[13:15] Okay. Um, that's uh 12 12
[13:21] 12. You walk around the five, you walk around for nearly what feels like 2 hours.
[13:28] Um, at one point you feel like you're walking around in circles and you start losing faith on the fireflies.
[13:40] um feeling like you're just being misled by by them flying around.
[13:46] You begin to doubt that they're actually trying to lead you somewhere and you just start to believe that um you're merely seeing patterns or meaning where there necessarily isn't.
[14:01] However, after two hours um passes a bit,
[14:05] um you do see in the distance up ahead a structure that's finally not made of wood,
[14:21] but it seems to be just a silent stone bridge crossing a slowm moving stream.
[14:33] wide enough to be considered a river.
[14:36] Um, but not deep enough.
[14:41] Okay, everyone.
[14:41] This is not very familiar to me.
[14:47] Uh, you like the testing?
[14:50] It has I did say it has a very similar setting to before, but perhaps that bridge could lead somewhere.
[14:58] No.
[15:04] Would you guys Is it Is it a short bridge, Jeff?
[15:07] Like a short bridge just over a small stream or is it a long bridge?
[15:12] It's a short like a foot bridge essentially.
[15:15] While they're discussing this, I'm going to ritual [music] cast alarm near the bridge.
[15:23] Hold on.
[15:25] I'm sending like the music I'm doing right now because I feel like you cast alarm.
[15:30] Yes.
[15:33] Yeah.
[15:33] Every cast alarm.
[15:36] Oh, this is exactly what I'm playing right now.
[15:39] Oh, nice.
[15:41] Nice.
[15:43] Yeah.
[15:43] Very nice. Very good.
[15:46] Very scary.
[15:50] Uh Josie is going to ritual cast though.
[15:53] Yeah.
[15:53] As you cast alarm, you you would need to approach the bridge first.
[15:57] Yeah.
[15:59] Okay.
[16:01] Um you as you're approaching the bridge, um nothing out of the ordinary sticks out to you.
[16:07] Um everything is quiet.
[16:10] Um dim uh faint moonlight shines through thick parts of the canopy.
[16:27] Um, your alarm falls on deaf ears essentially as you find stillness when you cast it around the bridge.
[16:40] Um, the bridge I would say is bigger than a 20 foot cube.
[16:46] Uh, however, but that's fine.
[16:49] That's enough.
[16:49] Um, however, it's just as you're walking closer towards the bridge, give me all a perception check.
[17:04] First of all, I got a six.
[17:07] Oh, I got a dirty 20.
[17:09] Damn.
[17:13] 18 of 17.
[17:20] I got a 20, Josie.
[17:23] I kind of forgot your names.
[17:25] It took me so long to die.
[17:28] Perfect.
[17:29] So, Tess, uh, Poppy, Sheamus, and Olrich, you start to hear thumping and drumming.
[17:40] Oh my god.
[17:45] And then it it grows louder um until the drumming becomes marching and you you kind of delude yourself a bit.
[17:53] You think you're starting to hear almost dozens of footfalls marching in unison in rhythm to like almost a battle and you start to hear swords or weapons clashing against each other.
[18:19] It sounds like you're approaching a siege or a skirmish of some sort.
[18:26] Like as you're nearing the bridge, it starts
[18:31] to feel like you're headed towards a battlefield.
[18:35] The closer you get e uh even closer, you start to hear tiny little voices at the back of your head.
[18:44] Oh boy.
[18:44] And more than that, you hear the battle, this phantom battle ahead of you intensify into warfare.
[18:56] You hear the the clashing of iron and weapons at mass.
[19:00] You [music] hear stomps and brushing against the ground and hear shouting and yelling.
[19:09] It's full-blown war.
[19:13] You just hear the cries of men getting drowned out by the screams of like the wounded and the dying.
[19:21] It almost sounds like a trench fight.
[19:24] Like you can hear catapults of massive rock [music] and
[19:32] stone being flung into castle walls.
[19:38] You can hear structures of towering forts [music] and citadels crumbling against the weight of battering rams and breaching stones.
[19:51] You can hear 100 arrows flying [music] soaring into the air and perching on the shoulders and piercing the armor of their targets.
[20:06] But you don't see anything.
[20:08] You just see a bridge in front of you.
[20:11] And the moment you kind of round the bend from being parallel uh walking parallel uh with the river, you finally see like the bridge's entrance facing you.
[20:26] It falls silent once again.
[20:30] Oh, silent.
[20:30] I just started playing
[20:33] background fighting sound effects.
[20:35] [laughter]
[20:39] So, I will say to the group, did you
[20:42] guys hear that? I'm pretty sure
[20:44] everybody heard that there's like a, you
[20:47] know, like a battle, but I don't know if
[20:50] it's in my head or I'm being crazy or
[20:52] something. Did anybody hear something
[20:55] like that or it's just me and my
[20:57] imagination again?
[20:59] I think
[21:00] What are you talking about? What are you
[21:02] guys talking about? I don't hear
[21:03] anything.
[21:04] Maybe Audi has gone death because we all
[21:06] have death, I think.
[21:07] Yes, I also heard it with Zodi. There
[21:09] was like a battle going on right in
[21:11] front of us.
[21:12] Did it sound like it was right in front
[21:13] of us, Chef?
[21:16] Yeah.
[21:17] But nothing is happening there.
[21:19] Um, it still sounds
[21:21] in a way it's right in front of you like
[21:25] um your sensory
[21:28] perception dictates that the sound is
[21:31] like coming from the bridge itself.
[21:34] But the decel volume at least of uh the
[21:38] quality of this sound still feels wrong.
[21:42] It doesn't sound like it uh you know a
[21:47] large scale war like what you had just
[21:50] heard.
[21:51] Um, it [music] sounds like it's entirely
[21:54] within like this this massive
[21:58] um
[22:00] this massive
[22:02] um
[22:05] feud between these two warring armies
[22:09] from what you can gather sounds still
[22:13] entirely contained
[22:15] by the bridge.
[22:17] Uhhuh. So, I would say we should
[22:20] approach carefully. Maybe it's kind of
[22:23] statistically concerning that we're
[22:25] hearing something, but we're not seeing
[22:28] them, right?
[22:29] I don't know what you guys are talking
[22:30] about. If you can hear at all,
[22:33] but it's in Okay, you say you hear it in
[22:36] front of you, but I don't see anything.
[22:38] Wouldn't it make sense that
[22:39] Well, Miss we're we're in the Fewell, so
[22:42] certain things can't exactly be easily
[22:45] explained. Um, given that the five of us
[22:48] actually heard it happening, maybe. I
[22:51] don't know. Um, just clarification,
[22:53] Jeff. Do we hear it as we approach the
[22:55] bridge or as we're crossing the bridge?
[22:58] Approaching.
[22:59] Did you cross the bridge already?
[23:01] I don't think No, we haven't. We haven't
[23:04] approaching the entrance of
[23:05] So, it just faded in and then faded out
[23:07] as we as we approached the bridge.
[23:10] Yeah, actually, it didn't fade out. Um,
[23:13] you noted that it stopped immediately as
[23:16] if like
[23:18] something heard you coming and then
[23:21] shushed itself.
[23:22] Somebody's laring under this bridge.
[23:26] [laughter] Somebody's laring under this
[23:28] bridge. There's tiny little people under
[23:30] there.
[23:31] That's what I I thought as well. Maybe
[23:33] they're like ants.
[23:36] Does he see anything again or
[23:39] can we can we inspect the bridge? Can we
[23:42] inspect?
[23:42] Inspect it takes another look.
[23:45] Maybe like creep a little bit closer but
[23:47] not too much as to
[23:49] Jeff wants Jeff wants us to run towards
[23:51] the bridge. [laughter]
[23:54] I can creep towards the uh closer uh
[23:57] towards the bridge uh nearing the
[23:59] threshold or the embankment leading onto
[24:02] the paved road. Um [music] the bridge
[24:06] itself is somewhat strange. Um although
[24:08] roll me another perception check. No
[24:10] investigation.
[24:12] Investigation.
[24:14] Investigation.
[24:17] Is
[24:18] mine. That's a 12.
[24:20] That's a seven.
[24:22] 22.
[24:24] Uh
[24:26] five.
[24:28] A seven and a five. Make it six.
[24:34] Um 12.
[24:37] Alrich, OD, and Poppy,
[24:41] you just see a normal bridge in front of
[24:44] you. Um,
[24:47] it doesn't really strike you as anything
[24:49] extraordinary. Um, although you do note
[24:53] that,
[24:55] uh, not that it's strange in a way, but
[24:58] the bridge is intentionally designed.
[25:02] Um, its flooring is almost like a
[25:04] checkerboard. Uh not almost. It is a
[25:07] checkered board flooring. Um made of
[25:09] like
[25:11] uh kind of a marble and [music]
[25:15] weathered marble. This bridge looks old
[25:18] definitely. Um and black uh black
[25:24] sandstone, something like that. Um, and
[25:29] it's it's spacious enough for like four
[25:32] people to walk side by side across and
[25:37] seemingly non-threatening.
[25:40] Um, for Sheamus and Tessic, you see
[25:44] statueets on the parapets of bridge. Um,
[25:51] there is somewhat of a light mist that
[25:55] kind of obscures the other side though.
[25:59] So,
[26:01] I say going crazy or does he see people
[26:04] standing on the bridge?
[26:07] I also see that too.
[26:09] Oh, the statueets like animal [laughter]
[26:14] statues are
[26:17] parabet. So this is the bridge. At the
[26:20] edge of it, like
[26:22] the ballastrade, there's one here.
[26:23] There's one here.
[26:25] The other side though, you do see kind
[26:27] of like a silhouette of like it it's
[26:29] almost like part of a column.
[26:31] Um
[26:32] Okay.
[26:32] It just sticks up a bit. Um but there is
[26:35] like a faint mist on the other side that
[26:38] like kind of covers
[26:41] um lightly obscures that end of the
[26:44] bridge.
[26:46] But as for investigating where the sound
[26:50] is coming from,
[26:52] uh, you don't really see anything.
[26:56] Alic starts to walk over the bridge
[26:59] halfway.
[27:01] Oh,
[27:03] Mr. Alri, where are you going?
[27:06] Well, I mean,
[27:06] it might be dangerous.
[27:08] It doesn't seem like the bridge is
[27:09] anything in particular dangerous. In
[27:11] particular,
[27:12] puppy, stay close. I I mean that
[27:16] no our investigation check said that it
[27:19] seemed non-threatening. So I'm just
[27:20] going to cross halfway.
[27:22] Yeah, at least for Poppy and OD,
[27:26] you don't your investigation yielded no
[27:29] threats from the bridges. Famous and
[27:32] Tessic, you are you are you're you're
[27:34] wary because bridges aren't supposed to
[27:37] be playing war backing tracks.
[27:42] I'm gonna I'm gonna Al's gonna cross the
[27:45] bridge and then halfway halfway through
[27:47] he's going to send that dancing lights
[27:49] forward to the other side if
[27:51] if to see to see if there's anything
[27:53] that reveals itself on the other side of
[27:55] the bridge
[27:57] and I will I will yell to him. Okay,
[28:00] Alic, tell us if if everything's okay at
[28:03] the other end. Okay.
[28:04] I love how I just got abandoned by my
[28:06] other two people.
[28:07] I'm going to OD is going to move forward
[28:09] a little. Hey, Mr.
[28:11] I don't think it's safe to go alone.
[28:14] As Alic steps forward and leads the
[28:16] charge brazenly into [music]
[28:19] um the length of the bridge, he summons
[28:22] his dancing lights and they kind of
[28:24] flutter to the end [music] the to the
[28:27] other end of the bridge and
[28:30] it makes it all the way to the other
[28:31] side of the embankment. You hear the
[28:33] babbling of the river beneath um your
[28:36] feet. Um it gets deeper at this uh part
[28:40] of the stream. Um wider as well. Um
[28:45] almost like there's a
[28:48] there's a slope in the rivered beneath
[28:51] you. um that creates this like trough
[28:55] current that makes [music] this part of
[28:58] the water um just a bit more torrential
[29:02] than the stream you had been following
[29:05] uh to get here. It's like the water is
[29:08] just concentrating here and almost like
[29:09] the water itself is at odds with itself,
[29:13] you know, like it doesn't know which way
[29:17] of the river, which way down the river
[29:20] it's going to flow into. [music] So, the
[29:22] water itself is like
[29:25] thrashing and foaming beneath the river,
[29:29] but you're dancing lights flutter all
[29:32] the way to the end and you still see
[29:34] nothing.
[29:37] It's just a brick.
[29:39] Can I drop one? The pebbles in the
[29:41] water. The the river pebbles. The cursed
[29:44] pebbles.
[29:46] Sure. How many do you want to throw?
[29:48] No, just one. Just one.
[29:49] Just one.
[29:51] It sinks, [music] disturbs the water
[29:53] below.
[29:54] Nothing really happens.
[29:56] Oh god.
[29:57] I shot to the other people that are
[29:58] still not on the bridge. Uh, it seems
[30:01] like there's nothing wrong with the
[30:02] bridge. Everybody, maybe we can cross.
[30:06] At this point, isward.
[30:08] Yeah,
[30:08] OD is walking forward like kind of
[30:11] softly chasing [music] behind Alrich.
[30:14] It's not safe. It's not safe. Or like
[30:15] just basically worried. Hold on a sec.
[30:18] Um, she's tailing right behind you.
[30:21] Anyone else?
[30:22] Um, I reluctantly go. Like I would I I
[30:26] will be saying to myself, I'm a bit
[30:28] terrified, but uh I guess there's
[30:31] nothing else to do but to follow. He
[30:33] said it's okay. Then maybe it is okay.
[30:36] And then I will go like um somehow
[30:39] trotting my way to the other [laughter]
[30:41] side.
[30:43] Sure.
[30:43] Um, so at this point, Alrich, OD, and
[30:47] Poppy are halfway down the bridge. Um,
[30:52] I mean, [music] if
[30:54] at least from what it looks like to you,
[30:56] Tessic and Sheamus, if they hadn't been
[30:59] or among the five of you, you hadn't
[31:02] been like discussing the potentials of
[31:03] crossing this bridge, you would have
[31:05] crossed it already.
[31:06] Yeah. I'm trying to move this along,
[31:08] guys.
[31:10] Okay, then. It looks safe. I guess I'll
[31:13] follow.
[31:14] Yeah, I cling I cling onto Su's leg and
[31:16] then Tess is very afraid of the duck. He
[31:20] don't leave me.
[31:22] Oh my god, little guy. Okay, then you
[31:24] just cling there. Let's go. Let's go to
[31:26] them.
[31:28] Um, as Pessik velcro latches onto
[31:32] Sheamus and Sheamus hobbles down the
[31:35] length of the bridge, you kind of
[31:37] grumble to yourselves like, [music] "Oh
[31:39] my god, these three, why would they
[31:41] cross so rashly? Like, come on. It's
[31:45] obviously a strange bridge in the middle
[31:48] of the Fayw Wild." And you're kind of
[31:49] like, you find yourself like grumbling
[31:52] and glowering at the three up ahead.
[31:55] Meanwhile, OD, you're thinking to
[31:57] yourself, what's taking them so long?
[31:59] It's just a [ __ ] bridge for
[32:00] Oh, I think I know what's going on.
[32:04] Oh,
[32:06] you're near towards the end of the
[32:08] bridge now, but then you turn back. It's
[32:10] like, look at this [ __ ] this [ __ ]
[32:13] gnome petty [music] dwarf clinging to
[32:15] the elf. You're like, it's just a
[32:17] bridge. You find yourselves, the five of
[32:19] you
[32:20] kind of like getting irritated at each
[32:23] other.
[32:25] Yeah. [music] Yeah, I get.
[32:27] And before you could cross Alrich, the
[32:29] bridge itself, you turn around and you
[32:32] two OD, you turn around. Poppy as well.
[32:34] You stop in [music] your tracks and
[32:36] you're like
[32:38] Poppy's just like, you know what? I
[32:40] don't like this elf's face. That's
[32:42] [laughter] like basically your issue.
[32:44] Like, I don't like the way you're
[32:46] looking at me.
[32:48] Oh,
[32:49] and Obie's like, "Oh, this shorty like
[32:51] you're looking at Tessic like um you're
[32:54] bothered by his miniature, you know,
[32:57] stature." Um and like around this heavy
[33:01] ass rig.
[33:02] Everyone give me a wisdom saving throw.
[33:04] Why is everybody taking so long? It's
[33:07] just a bridge.
[33:08] Cross the bridge.
[33:12] Where's my wisdom?
[33:15] Um well guys
[33:18] save
[33:22] for the purposes of this um just for
[33:25] like an opportunity that uh to do this
[33:28] because sometimes this this is you know
[33:30] uh possible you can impose this
[33:33] advantage on yourself for roleplay
[33:34] purposes if you want. Of course.
[33:37] You know what? Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna
[33:39] impose it.
[33:42] Oh my god, that's so bad.
[33:45] I typed it out. I got a not one
[33:48] from the disadvantage.
[33:51] I'm going to
[33:52] He impose disadvantage on himself.
[33:56] Guys, just if you want to like if you
[33:58] [laughter] if it your character, I'm not
[34:00] telling you to roll it.
[34:04] It It It fits. It fits.
[34:06] I'm going to do the opposite.
[34:07] I'm going to do the opposite.
[34:09] I'm going to
[34:10] What's the opposite? No, I have I have a
[34:12] I have a feature. So to give myself
[34:14] advantage, I'm going to use tights of
[34:15] chaos.
[34:17] Sure,
[34:18] it it reset after the last battle.
[34:21] Natural be your roles.
[34:23] Natural 20
[34:25] for 21.
[34:27] Yeah, actually this is helpful. You can
[34:29] guys you guys can note it then or you
[34:31] can say it then. 19
[34:34] 13
[34:37] 13
[34:38] 13
[34:40] I thought you said 13. Oh my gosh,
[34:43] it's not possible.
[34:45] It's a 19, a 21, a 13, a three, and a
[34:48] one. Okay. Um, yeah, natural 20 for All
[34:53] right. So, as this happens, you're the
[34:56] first to kind of like, wait, what the
[34:57] [ __ ] Like, why why am I getting so
[35:00] riled up? Um, [music] something kind of
[35:02] like tingles at the back of your uh at
[35:05] the center of your forehead and you feel
[35:08] this strange sensation of being watched
[35:11] not by by people or creatures but by
[35:15] things. And you
[35:18] get this like um realization that the
[35:21] four people in front of you are just
[35:23] like suddenly very
[35:26] like at each other's throats. at this
[35:28] point. Um, Sheamus with a what? 17
[35:35] 17 19
[35:36] 19 17 original roll and oh no
[35:40] 14 original roll and then plus five so
[35:43] 19
[35:44] wait this is
[35:46] you 17 is from kina
[35:51] previous
[35:53] yeah so you also you also kind of pulled
[35:59] yourself out of this hysteria
[36:02] um But slowly it dazes you a bit. Um but
[36:07] you you manage to gain some sense of
[36:11] rationality and you see
[36:15] um Odi Poppy and Tessek in front of you
[36:19] just like kind of like bucking at each
[36:22] other. Especially OD. She's like
[36:26] [laughter]
[36:27] role play it. Role play it. At this
[36:31] point, before you go any further,
[36:34] um, Poppy Poppy is like getting riled
[36:38] up, crumb even, [music] um, at her
[36:41] heels, just like hissing [music] at
[36:46] at something on the bridge though. Not
[36:49] at anyone else.
[36:50] Oh boy.
[36:51] Um, but Tessic, Tessic, you, my dear
[36:56] Tessic, you attack.
[36:59] Oh.
[37:01] with your highest damage
[37:05] capabilities.
[37:06] Everyone roll initiative against each
[37:08] other.
[37:10] More PVC.
[37:11] Oh my god.
[37:12] Mr. What the hell are you doing?
[37:15] And please,
[37:17] I will send.
[37:18] No, Odie. You're supposed to be yelling
[37:20] at people. You're not supposed to be
[37:22] rational.
[37:24] Girl, my mouth is foaming. G. [laughter]
[37:30] Uh,
[37:31] you and your stupid [ __ ]
[37:33] Exactly. They're they're roleplaying.
[37:36] Oh my god.
[37:38] It was listening to imagine.
[37:44] [laughter]
[37:53] Oh yeah. Never mind the leg. I bike
[37:55] Sheamus's dick. [laughter]
[37:58] Well, it makes more sense for a natural
[37:59] one.
[38:01] Okay.
[38:02] Um, you can move to mirror while I'm
[38:04] like position.
[38:06] This is for
[38:07] We thought we were fighting an owl bear.
[38:09] Apparently, we're fighting each other.
[38:12] Then we're then we have to fight an an
[38:14] al.
[38:14] We still have to fight an alar later.
[38:17] [laughter]
[38:17] Two albears.
[38:19] Oh, just
[38:22] Oh, where's the Wait,
[38:23] where is everybody?
[38:26] I thought Jeff was going to send so I
[38:28] just went to mirror.
[38:29] Yeah,
[38:30] I went
[38:31] I already
[38:35] What is that?
[38:36] Where is it? Is it at the top left
[38:38] again? Okay, it is.
[38:41] Oh my.
[38:42] Wait, where's the starting? And then
[38:44] where's the
[38:45] Oh, what is that? Son of a [ __ ]
[38:48] Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Where's
[38:49] the No, the big guy. The big model. I
[38:52] like that.
[38:52] Wait, I need I need the I need the
[38:54] light.
[38:56] Just go to
[38:58] No, it's it it did not save.
[39:00] So, if you guys are there, then we are
[39:02] here.
[39:03] Oh, we are.
[39:04] Yeah.
[39:04] Okay,
[39:05] that's right.
[39:06] You're behind
[39:07] me.
[39:09] Oh, man. And I'm I'm at the front.
[39:10] Ellie was still with No, Ellie was still
[39:12] with OD. She was She was playing with
[39:17] Yeah, we were we were playing around.
[39:20] Is it at the left side again?
[39:23] Top left.
[39:26] Why did I have to go first? Now I have a
[39:28] guy right in front of my ass.
[39:32] Oh, I'm not so you didn't see [ __ ]
[39:34] brother.
[39:35] And I see and I have a little thing
[39:38] that's snowing on my on my knee.
[39:40] Am I near [laughter]
[39:42] left? Yes. Yes. You're very near.
[39:44] You're very near.
[39:46] Let's go back to the screen.
[39:47] Oh, okay. Oh. Oh. Oh my god.
[39:50] Beyond mirror now. can open it.
[39:52] Essentially, as the the five of you kind
[39:56] of turn on each other on the opposite
[39:59] end of the bridge and
[40:01] Pessik, you attack um Sheamus, [snorts]
[40:05] hold your attack for now. Two figures,
[40:09] two tiny little figures emerge from the
[40:12] stone as the bridge itself kind of like
[40:15] the parapets light up with candles,
[40:18] candle lights um lining the parapets and
[40:22] suddenly two figures
[40:25] um emerge
[40:27] from the stone itself. Two tiny little
[40:29] figures. They look like chess pieces
[40:32] essentially. And then more of them kind
[40:35] of start pouring out of the parapets and
[40:39] the ballastrade and this veil in front
[40:42] of you lifts and you begin to hear the
[40:45] sounds of war once again. Um, as all
[40:49] around you, you hear you, I will have
[40:52] your hand. as tiny little people, droves
[40:56] of them, an army of them on one side
[40:58] wearing white armor on the other side
[41:01] wearing dark intricate black armor. They
[41:05] clash in the middle and they fight with
[41:07] miniature swords. You see the catapults
[41:10] bombarding the sides of the parapet,
[41:13] crumbling and cracking the stone of the
[41:16] bridge itself. you see embedded within
[41:19] the ballastrade in the columns from your
[41:21] sides kind of like small windows um lit
[41:26] by a hearth a fireplace miniature
[41:28] fireplaces inside you see tiny hospitals
[41:32] as like these broken um constructs are
[41:37] like oh god
[41:39] please kill my family I love them kind
[41:42] of like yeah you just be like an
[41:45] absolute slaughter
[41:47] of warfare from both sides. You see tiny
[41:50] medics hoisting up their wounded men
[41:54] back to their base on the other end of
[41:56] the bridge. And on each end of the
[41:59] bridge, you see like a camp, a war camp
[42:02] of sorts and a throne in uh at the end
[42:05] of the bridge. And on each of the
[42:08] thrones, at least from your side, OD,
[42:12] um, Poppy, and Olrich, you see the white
[42:16] king sitting on his throne at the end of
[42:18] the bridge, right where Alrich's foot is
[42:21] essentially. And for Sheamus and Tessic,
[42:25] you see the black king um sitting on his
[42:28] side of the bridge on his throne um
[42:32] among his generals uh of tiny construct
[42:35] soldiers. Um
[42:38] you you in your haze even you realize
[42:42] that there were no creatures, no alarm,
[42:46] no creatures to set off your alarm
[42:48] because these are not creatures. They
[42:50] are constructs enchanted into some sort
[42:54] of um magical everlasting feud with each
[42:59] other. Um but you you feel kind of
[43:02] justified and vindicated by by the rage
[43:07] that one that your side is throwing at
[43:09] the other and you're like um
[43:13] you turn to Sheamus and you attack him.
[43:20] um still holding your attack. But at
[43:23] this point, uh the the tiny men kind of
[43:26] like gather by your feet and
[43:32] let me roll.
[43:35] Okay.
[43:36] For this, the black king is like, I like
[43:39] that one. That one that that little
[43:42] short one with a fortress strat on his
[43:45] back. He is mine. Oh,
[43:49] oh, we're gonna be
[43:51] white king looks at the white king on
[43:54] the other side of the bridge. It's like,
[43:56] if he's yours, then this this giant of a
[43:59] woman with a with a heavy mole, she will
[44:03] be my champion. And the the the little
[44:07] tiny construct men just kind of cheer at
[44:09] your feet like [laughter]
[44:12] oh my god,
[44:13] choosing the champions. They're climbing
[44:15] um kind of like climbing the the cuffs
[44:19] of your pants and stuff like that. Um
[44:21] riding your shoes into your your laces.
[44:25] Um you are caught in an ancient feud in
[44:29] this battle bridge
[44:32] now. Tess, you may attack.
[44:35] And everyone, did you roll for
[44:37] initiative?
[44:37] Yes, it's in the chat.
[44:39] Yes. What?
[44:41] OD OD and Tessic got natural 20s, so
[44:43] they get the free action thing.
[44:45] Whatever. I
[44:46] free action. So, we're going to do this.
[44:49] Um, who has the higher dexterity?
[44:51] Oh, they already they already resolved
[44:52] it. OD goes first because
[44:55] we both have the same dexterity. So,
[44:58] we can do an alternate since I did say
[45:01] that Tessic attacks first. So, that
[45:03] happens first and then ODR action and
[45:06] then Tessic again.
[45:08] Um,
[45:11] Tacic attacks first narratively that
[45:13] does come first and then OD you get your
[45:15] free action and then your turn and then
[45:16] tacic again.
[45:18] Okay.
[45:18] So um for this I as instructed
[45:25] um Tessic it's up to you can bite
[45:27] Sheamus if you want but I did tell you
[45:30] to use your most powerful wrathful
[45:33] attack on someone. [laughter]
[45:36] That's just a basic just that's just my
[45:38] staff. So
[45:41] this guy has no DPS spells. [laughter]
[45:44] No, I do not.
[45:45] No, I Oh, wait. Never mind. I have this
[45:48] thing.
[45:49] Uh, it's a 2d8.
[45:53] I still have to roll to hit first.
[45:55] Yeah.
[45:55] Yeah. Yeah. Roll to hit.
[45:59] Does a Oh, that hits. That's an 18.
[46:01] Okay.
[46:03] Okay. road damage. As Sheamus, you're
[46:05] blinking back this hysteria surrounding
[46:08] the bridge itself. You do see the tiny
[46:11] men um
[46:14] you see the tiny men by your feet
[46:17] clamoring and claiming their champions
[46:21] and then you hear as Tessic just whacks
[46:25] into you or deal damage. Tess
[46:29] that is
[46:33] I'm gonna die.
[46:34] That's a 10.
[46:36] Okay.
[46:37] Damage. 10 bludgeoning damage. Tessy
[46:40] gets sucked um in the gut by uh Sheamus
[46:44] gets sucked in the gut by by this petty
[46:47] dwarf. Give me a wisdom saving throw.
[46:50] Wait, who?
[46:52] Uh Sheamus.
[46:53] Okay. Okay.
[46:54] Wisdom saving throw.
[46:57] Oh.
[46:59] Oh. Oh god. Um,
[47:03] I got a not one plus five. So it's
[47:06] No, that's still a not one.
[47:08] [laughter] So within that one, all
[47:11] pretense of like what you've what you've
[47:15] resisted before and what what wrath
[47:18] you've pulled and pried yourself away
[47:20] from crumble like a breached fortress
[47:25] under siege as you now have this blood
[47:29] bloodthirst to to get back at Tessic.
[47:35] Next up, OD, it's your free action. What
[47:37] do you do?
[47:39] If I killed you, I'm so sorry.
[47:43] Okay, right now my annoyance is towards
[47:47] this these two on the other side, right?
[47:48] Is that correct?
[47:50] It doesn't matter.
[47:51] Oh,
[47:52] on the other side. Yes, because the
[47:53] white king has claimed you.
[47:56] Oh, the white king claimed there.
[47:59] Holy [ __ ]
[48:02] I'm sorry.
[48:02] What are those people doing on the other
[48:04] side? So, I move. How much can I move
[48:06] it?
[48:08] Why can't I move anything? I can't move
[48:10] her, but I want to move her like I know.
[48:15] I'm not going to move her anymore.
[48:17] We can move up till here.
[48:19] Okay. Okay.
[48:20] Where do you want to move?
[48:24] What's your speed? What's your speed,
[48:25] Sally?
[48:26] It's 30. 30.
[48:28] Six squares. Six squares.
[48:34] and bishop diagonally.
[48:36] Huh? [laughter]
[48:38] What?
[48:41] Bishop, you can only move diagonally.
[48:43] [laughter]
[48:44] You can only move here or here.
[48:47] It's a It's a joke, Sally. It's a joke.
[48:49] Don't get confused. Just Just focus on
[48:51] your turn. Focus on your turn.
[48:52] [laughter]
[48:54] Sorry.
[48:58] So, moving on.
[49:01] So,
[49:04] I would like to do.
[49:08] Uh,
[49:09] oh no.
[49:11] You need help or no?
[49:14] I might need a little help.
[49:15] Move, move, move, move. Use your move
[49:18] and then use your free action to dash
[49:19] and then take your turn to attack.
[49:22] Okay, you get a free action, right? Move
[49:24] first. Step one, move first.
[49:27] Okay.
[49:28] Okay. As OD, you're moving. Poppy, you
[49:31] strike. OD opportunity of attack.
[49:34] Oh,
[49:34] opportunity attack.
[49:35] Uh,
[49:37] for this for the purposes of this
[49:39] battle, everyone is hostile to each
[49:42] other. Um,
[49:43] except
[49:44] no one yet is on each other's side
[49:46] except Alrich. Um,
[49:47] I'm alone.
[49:49] That but essentially only
[49:53] OD and uh, Tess are on opposite sides
[49:57] regardless. They have been claimed but
[49:59] regardless everyone is an enemy.
[50:01] Is wait is Ellie also corrupted
[50:05] or
[50:06] Ellie is Ellie
[50:09] Ellie's like pulling on um Tessic's legs
[50:13] fighting. [laughter]
[50:15] No, no, she's with No, she's with OD and
[50:18] Poppy.
[50:19] Yeah, she's over there.
[50:19] Oh, she's on the other side. Oh, okay.
[50:22] And then Ellie is pulling on Poppy's leg
[50:24] like
[50:29] Yes. Uh Poppy attack first attack of
[50:32] opportunity as you get a swipe as OD
[50:34] passes you by.
[50:35] Oh, so cool.
[50:38] You're muted.
[50:40] Wait, what? What? Like are her weapons
[50:43] equipped or is she still holding?

[51:17] belly up and I'm going to cast silvery
[51:19] barbs. Reroll your 20.
[51:22] Okay, you cast silvery barbs. For the
[51:24] purpose of this, every time I want you
[51:25] guys, every time you attack to to role
[51:28] play how you want to
[51:30] I've been trying to do it. Nobody else
[51:31] is doing [laughter] it.
[51:34] Everybody's I'm going to hit him.
[51:36] Anyway, so
[51:38] he's too focused trying to hit Lance or
[51:41] something. He wants to hit
[51:44] you, [ __ ]
[51:46] [laughter]
[51:49] Okay, I got that.
[51:54] Plus the hit. I I mean the the
[51:57] which is
[51:58] which is which is
[52:00] No, I got a four and then uh it's
[52:03] the whole thing. Okay.
[52:04] Yeah, the whole thing
[52:05] does hit you.
[52:07] No,
[52:08] no, that's it. Uh, I'm going to give
[52:10] advantage to Miss Odie.
[52:13] Oh, and then I I look at I was
[52:16] You want her to kill me?
[52:17] Oh, wait. No, no, no, no, no, [laughter]
[52:18] no, no, no, no. Actually, yeah, it's her
[52:20] turn. Wait. No, it's her turn. It's her
[52:21] turn. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Uh,
[52:25] [cough]
[52:26] wait, wait,
[52:26] wait. [laughter]
[52:30] Hold on. Hold on. Relax. Relax. Yes. Do
[52:33] you give advantage now? Yes, I can give
[52:36] advantage. One at a time. What a time
[52:39] puppy.
[52:40] Yeah. So like I
[52:43] Yeah, it missed and then as it missed I
[52:45] looked I was distracted so it missed and
[52:47] I I was trying to look for Crumb because
[52:50] Alri said that Crumb was lying on his
[52:53] belly. So I was like
[52:57] Crumb is um by your feet hissing at the
[53:01] tiny construct of the bridge.
[53:03] Holy [ __ ] And you realize this [ __ ]
[53:06] sorcerer is lying to me. Crumb wasn't
[53:08] playing tricks. He's He's He's not doing
[53:11] that at all. You want to hit him. You
[53:13] want to hit him so bad. [laughter]
[53:15] I want to hit you so bad.
[53:17] Okay. Um as part of my silvery barb
[53:20] spell after giving Puppy this advantage,
[53:23] I'm going to say, "Oh, [ __ ] But it's so
[53:26] bad cuz it's still her turn." Uh uh
[53:30] I'm going to give myself advantage and
[53:32] I'm going to just going to say I can do
[53:34] this. [snorts]
[53:36] I already said OD.
[53:38] Yeah.
[53:39] Oh no.
[53:43] Okay, fine. Miss OD snap out of it.
[53:49] Right. You gain advantage. Um you you do
[53:54] get to use the advantage. You get to
[53:56] choose. Am I correct?
[53:57] You do get to choose.
[53:59] Yeah. So, um, for the purposes of this,
[54:02] because the the silvery barbs advantage
[54:04] itself is um, magical, you don't
[54:08] necessarily
[54:10] it it works almost in a meta way like
[54:13] especially now that you're technically
[54:16] um, it's not a charm. Exactly.
[54:19] Sorry, Jeff. Sorry. Okay. We're rules
[54:20] that rules rules written. It says
[54:23] creature has to use it on the next roll.
[54:26] So up to you. Up to you though. Up to
[54:28] you.
[54:28] You can't choose.
[54:29] No. If it's rules is written,
[54:31] unfortunately OD, you can't choose. And
[54:33] you're about to swing, you get
[54:34] advantage.
[54:35] I made a bad choice. [laughter] I made a
[54:37] bad choice.
[54:39] I made a bad choice.
[54:42] Big girl. [laughter]
[54:44] I'm a small.
[54:47] Um Cody, it's still your turn. you get
[54:49] advantage and this is your free action
[54:52] on
[54:53] um Sheamus. Please roll to attack.
[54:57] Oh god.
[55:00] And what do you
[55:00] So I roll a 16. Um
[55:04] these dudes are just keeping us back
[55:06] like And then I swing. Okay. I'm I'm I'm
[55:10] [ __ ] sleepy anyway.
[55:11] Yes.
[55:12] You're hitting me?
[55:13] Yeah.
[55:14] Yeah.
[55:14] Yes. But you're so [ __ ] slow, [ __ ]
[55:17] What the [ __ ]
[55:18] [laughter]
[55:18] I think it's getting real.
[55:22] Is this Was it a hit?
[55:24] It's a hit. It's a hit.
[55:26] 16.
[55:27] Roll damage, please. As OD's like these
[55:30] two, they're just holding us back. It's
[55:32] slowing us down.
[55:36] Hold.
[55:41] That's an eight.
[55:43] Eight points of damage.
[55:44] Eight damage.
[55:47] You already have minus 10.
[55:49] You take your action, your normal
[55:52] action.
[55:55] You got to do it again if you want.
[55:58] Yep.
[55:59] And you do want you want this. This this
[56:02] you do want this ass. [laughter]
[56:05] I have no choice.
[56:07] Twinkle toes elf. You want to smack him
[56:10] in the face. If you want to make it even
[56:12] more spicy, you could rage.
[56:17] True.
[56:18] Wait, let me double check. Hold on.
[56:20] That's a bonus action.
[56:23] [laughter]
[56:25] Reverse to this. The only reason I'm not
[56:27] like not forcing or encouraging you to
[56:30] rage is because you did tell me that
[56:32] rage isn't really the mechanic behind
[56:35] your rage.
[56:36] Yeah. So,
[56:38] let me
[56:39] Okay. You don't have to do that.
[56:41] [laughter]
[56:43] Killer cleric.
[56:44] This This is actually a TPK waiting to
[56:47] happen right here.
[56:48] Oh [laughter] my god.
[56:52] Attack again.
[56:55] So I swing my Maul one way trying to hit
[56:58] Sheamus and the other way back onto the
[57:01] little
[57:03] onto the little door.

[57:08] oh, he's trying to hit.
[57:10] Smart. Smart.
[57:11] Oh, god.
[57:12] He's trying to bump both of them.
[57:14] No advantage anymore, please.
[57:16] So, that's a 16
[57:17] against
[57:18] You don't hit him.
[57:19] You don't hit.
[57:20] Oh,
[57:21] how high is your AC?

[57:26] don't know.
[57:27] 18th.
[57:28] Um, right now your ball slams against
[57:30] the rock.
[57:32] It shakes the bridge. Everyone feels the
[57:35] the reverberations of your of your maul
[57:39] striking the bridge. Is that your turn?
[57:41] Do you have a bonus action?
[57:46] Let me help you, Sally. You do not under

[58:18] close to OD and then I try to hit her
[58:20] with my staff again like
[58:24] [laughter]

[58:30] 17 to hit.

[58:57] after I don't want to move anymore
[59:00] anyway.

[59:10] He yells, "Move three paces and charge."
[59:14] You move three paces.
[59:17] [laughter]

[59:28] Oh yeah. Okay. Wait.
[59:30] Wait. Also sh both of them hit him.

[59:39] Tessa?
[59:41] I was in front of OD. I was here. One,
[59:44] two, three.
[59:47] Okay. So Sheamus also gets an
[59:48] opportunity to attack. So Sheamus and
[59:49] OD, you get an opportunity to attack
[59:53] against the against
[59:55] rit, not 20.

[01:00:06] another one. We're going to die.
[01:00:09] [laughter]

[01:00:31] I can hit first. How How are they going
[01:00:33] to hit?
[01:00:35] Oh, for the crit. So, remember, you roll
[01:00:37] your weapon damage, die, and then what's
[01:00:40] your weapon?
[01:00:41] Uh, the crossbow. I like crossbow. You
[01:00:43] cannot.
[01:00:43] No, you're mele. Mele. Mele. It has to
[01:00:46] be melee.

[01:07:02] essentially the white king at this point
[01:07:04] does claim you as you prepare to attack
[01:07:09] um after I've rolled, but the white king
[01:07:11] says, "Don't hold back. Use your
[01:07:14] dagger."

[01:08:11] can move away as well if you want.
[01:08:14] Um,
[01:08:16] but it would trigger an an action from
[01:08:18] him, right? Opportunity if I want.
[01:08:21] Yes. Unless you use disengage with your
[01:08:23] bonus action.
[01:08:24] Okay. Can
[01:08:25] you
[01:08:28] Okay. Can I try? But it won't make sense
[01:08:31] if I disengage.
[01:08:34] Why not? It would.
[01:08:36] Yeah.
[01:08:38] Okay. I could try to disengage
[01:08:41] as a bonus action. Yeah. And then you
[01:08:43] can move now.
[01:08:44] Yeah. What do you say as you disengage
[01:08:47] in order for you to make sense of it?
[01:08:48] Like why are you disengaging from the
[01:08:50] person you whose head you want to tear
[01:08:52] off his shoulders?
[01:08:52] Actually,
[01:08:53] I I will cuz I can't reach him.
[01:08:58] [laughter]
[01:09:01] She's doing like the boxer stance. She
[01:09:04] gets a Come on. Pull up, buddy. Pull up.
[01:09:07] [laughter]
[01:09:10] It's not making sense to me why she's
[01:09:13] disengaging.
[01:09:14] [laughter]
[01:09:14] It doesn't make sense to you. You don't
[01:09:15] have to do it.
[01:09:17] It's okay. I I don't think I should
[01:09:19] disengage.
[01:09:21] Okay. You stay there. Finally, it's your
[01:09:24] turn. Everyone's
[01:09:25] hitting each other. Everyone's fighting
[01:09:27] each other. Give me a perception check.
[01:09:28] All right.
[01:09:29] Everybody's bat [ __ ] crazy. Perception
[01:09:31] check.
[01:09:32] Oh, and at the turn, you did take damage
[01:09:35] from Sheamus. So, another wisdom saving
[01:09:37] throw.
[01:09:39] Oh,
[01:09:40] wait. Is everyone Is everyone going to
[01:09:42] roll for perception or just him?
[01:09:44] Just me. Just me.
[01:09:45] Just all.
[01:09:45] Wait. I still make a wisdom saving throw
[01:09:47] even though I succeeded the first time.
[01:09:51] Yes.
[01:09:52] Oh, this first time is for you to be
[01:09:55] able to make the perception check.
[01:09:57] Okay. So,
[01:09:58] you are aware of what is happening right
[01:10:00] now.
[01:10:01] Perception check was a natural 20
[01:10:04] for uh 21.
[01:10:07] Okay, before you make your wisdom saving
[01:10:09] throw, uh, with your, as everyone begins
[01:10:12] to start just like hacking at each
[01:10:14] other, you immediately realize
[01:10:16] something's wrong. This bridge is
[01:10:18] [ __ ] us up. Um, you feel the wrath of
[01:10:21] the bridge like curling against the
[01:10:24] edges of your awareness, trying to
[01:10:27] breach the walls of your uh, trying to
[01:10:31] breach the walls of your mind. Um, but
[01:10:34] you resist it as you watch everyone just
[01:10:36] try to kill each other. And at this
[01:10:40] point, you realize, at least
[01:10:43] the bridge itself,
[01:10:45] um, there are statueets at the ends of
[01:10:47] the paras.
[01:10:48] Yeah, one is missing.
[01:10:49] Um, one of an owl, a rabbit, and a fox.
[01:10:54] One of them is missing. The one to your
[01:10:57] left behind you.
[01:10:59] Yeah. Um, you notice this immediately
[01:11:03] and you get a sense that something is
[01:11:06] wrong because it lacks balance. The four
[01:11:10] watchers you attributed to these four
[01:11:13] statueets
[01:11:15] um they've set the balance of this
[01:11:19] bridge aunder igniting this war um
[01:11:22] between the sides. But as you take the
[01:11:27] arrow to the chest, but uh as you take I
[01:11:30] mean you take the arrow flying past your
[01:11:32] cheek from Sheamus, the minuscule draw
[01:11:36] of blood prompts your blood to boil once
[01:11:40] again. Um with that amount of damage,
[01:11:42] the DC is low. Don't worry. So give me a
[01:11:45] wisdom saving throw again.
[01:11:47] Holy.
[01:11:48] Uh DC saving throw. A DC, a low DC for a
[01:11:52] wisdom saving throw is a 10.
[01:11:57] Hopefully that's the minimum.
[01:11:59] You just make it. You resist [laughter]
[01:12:02] you resist the bad blood kind of like
[01:12:06] rising and clawing its way up your
[01:12:08] throat as your your vision tunnels. Um
[01:12:12] at Sheamus, you blink it away and you're
[01:12:14] like, "No, no, this isn't right."
[01:12:18] What do you do with your turn? Okay. So,
[01:12:20] I know that the I have an inkling that
[01:12:23] maybe the figuring out the statue
[01:12:26] situation might fix this. You said that
[01:12:28] the statues that are already on there is
[01:12:30] an owl, a fox, and a frog.
[01:12:34] An owl, a fox, and a rabbit.
[01:12:36] And a rabbit. Okay.
[01:12:43] [laughter]
[01:12:46] Why Why are you convulsing now? What the
[01:12:48] hell? [laughter]
[01:12:49] Uh, I'm going to take a I'm going to
[01:12:50] take a gamble. And can I move towards
[01:12:52] this direction?
[01:12:56] Uh, where?
[01:12:58] I should have enough movement to go one,
[01:13:00] two, three, four. Yeah, that's 20 ft of
[01:13:02] movement.
[01:13:05] Sure. Yeah.
[01:13:07] Does Poppy attack you?
[01:13:08] Poppy might attack me.
[01:13:11] Were you in melee? I didn't see. You
[01:13:13] were. You were.
[01:13:13] Yes.
[01:13:14] Poppy. Attack of opportunity on Al.
[01:13:25] Senpai is muted.
[01:13:26] You're muted, Senpai.
[01:13:28] Sorry. Um, that's uh Wait, I got an 18
[01:13:32] plus six.
[01:13:32] Jesus Christ. Okay, you hit me. I hit
[01:13:36] those attacks.
[01:13:37] Okay, so short sword is 1d6 plus 4.
[01:13:42] Jesus Christ.
[01:13:45] All right. What do you say, Poppy?
[01:13:48] I Where are you going? We're not
[01:13:50] finished here. [laughter]
[01:13:53] And then um yeah, I rolled the
[01:13:57] six plus four.
[01:13:59] You rolled the six plus four.
[01:14:02] Oh god.
[01:14:04] Jesus Christ, man.
[01:14:07] 10 points
[01:14:08] of damage with your sword. towards
[01:14:12] to Alrech. Um Alrich, it is still your
[01:14:14] turn. Um anything else you would like to
[01:14:16] do?
[01:14:16] I just limped towards the bleeding as I
[01:14:20] limp towards the the empty statue. Do I
[01:14:22] see anything around here that may that
[01:14:24] may look like something that could fit
[01:14:26] or be put upon this pedestal or parapet?
[01:14:31] Give me an investigation sack.
[01:14:33] Oh no, it's large.
[01:14:36] Lord,
[01:14:36] this is a minus one, guys. I don't think
[01:14:39] this will work. I got a 10.
[01:14:42] a 10.
[01:14:44] It's No, you don't find anything um the
[01:14:48] ground here on the side of the bridge,
[01:14:51] but you do see um at least
[01:14:55] with your eyes in front of you at least
[01:14:57] the column at the end of the parapet as
[01:15:00] cracked in such a way that the stone is
[01:15:04] kind of tilted to the side. Uh, and the
[01:15:07] ground at least in front of you is a
[01:15:10] slope down the river.
[01:15:12] Oh, Jesus.
[01:15:13] Down the river.
[01:15:15] Um, do I still have my action after
[01:15:17] that?
[01:15:19] You didn't use your action? Yeah.
[01:15:21] Yeah. Okay. So, I still have 10 points
[01:15:23] of movement. Oh, [ __ ] I clicked the
[01:15:25] Discord rather than the Miro. Uh, I
[01:15:28] still have 10 ft of movement from my
[01:15:30] original move. So, one, I imagine that's
[01:15:33] one and then two. And then I'm going to
[01:15:35] action dash.
[01:15:38] I'm going to action dash to keep going
[01:15:40] down the river. At least over over here
[01:15:42] first.
[01:15:44] That is a 15 foot drop.
[01:15:46] Okay. Okay. Then the cliff then. The
[01:15:48] cliff.
[01:15:50] Yeah.
[01:15:50] Yeah.
[01:15:51] Give me a dexter. Give me an acrobatics
[01:15:53] check.
[01:15:54] An acrobatics check? I didn't go down
[01:15:56] the cliff yet.
[01:15:58] Oh, you haven't. Okay, that's fine. Do
[01:16:00] you stop there? Uh,
[01:16:01] I stop here for now, though. Does it
[01:16:05] Do I see the statue or no?
[01:16:08] Not yet. But that will be the end of
[01:16:10] your turn. You have made quite enough
[01:16:11] investigation. [laughter]
[01:16:12] Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
[01:16:14] Okay. Okay. That's fine. That's fine.
[01:16:15] That's fine.
[01:16:16] Obie next time.
[01:16:18] That's enough. [laughter]
[01:16:19] Come around. The white king instructs
[01:16:21] you kill my enemies.
[01:16:26] So I turn around. You little [ __ ]
[01:16:31] So, I start swinging my mall down on
[01:16:35] this little guy over here.
[01:16:38] Whoa.
[01:16:39] Whoa. What did I do?
[01:16:44] Okay. Wait.
[01:16:45] Okay. Go ahead. Attack.
[01:16:48] That's a one.
[01:16:51] [laughter]
[01:16:56] With a net one. You hit streams instead.
[01:17:00] [laughter]
[01:17:01] as you swing.
[01:17:03] Um before as you kind of like get into
[01:17:06] melee and step forward, you reel back
[01:17:08] with your with your hammer
[01:17:11] and the kind of slips from your hand.
[01:17:15] This is a fumble, so it does hit
[01:17:17] Sheamus. Roll damage, please.
[01:17:20] I'm gonna die.
[01:17:22] Yeah, Lance is going to die.
[01:17:23] Yeah, he is going to die.
[01:17:24] Seven.
[01:17:26] Seven damage.
[01:17:27] Oh, good.
[01:17:28] Eight. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[01:17:29] Oh, goodbye even more. Sorry.
[01:17:32] Eight. It's an eight. I'm sorry.
[01:17:34] Oh my god. Oh my god.
[01:17:36] Okay. Um, drop your weapon at that point
[01:17:39] as part of the fumble as
[01:17:41] you kind of reel it back and it just
[01:17:43] slams back on Sheamus and you drop your
[01:17:47] weapon for OD with your fumble. You have
[01:17:50] a bonus action and movement.
[01:17:53] Wait, question. Do I still have like
[01:17:55] that free action or is that like just
[01:17:56] for the first one? That was just the
[01:17:58] first question.
[01:17:59] Okay. Okay.
[01:18:01] So, I don't have
[01:18:03] You want to kill Sheamus faster?
[01:18:06] Yeah.
[01:18:09] Oh my god.
[01:18:12] Really wants to kill Sheamus, huh?
[01:18:16] I'm supposed to move closer to know to
[01:18:18] this little guy.
[01:18:20] Yeah.
[01:18:21] Yes.
[01:18:22] Okay.
[01:18:22] Just there. Yeah.
[01:18:24] Yep. That's fine. Next up, we have
[01:18:27] Tessic. This looming barbarian just
[01:18:30] engulfed you with her shadow. What do
[01:18:32] you do?
[01:18:34] And then I I use an action to disengage.
[01:18:38] You just run.
[01:18:40] I can only run until here.
[01:18:42] Here is an acceptable choice. That's
[01:18:45] an opportunity of attack. No, he
[01:18:46] No, I disengaged. She disengaged.
[01:18:48] All right. Okay. Okay. You mean [ __ ] me?
[01:18:53] Shame is your turn. What do you do?
[01:18:56] Oh god, I'm dying. [laughter]
[01:19:00] You have to go further down the block.
[01:19:02] Go to the black.
[01:19:05] You can't heal yourself.
[01:19:06] Actually, that's what I will do. I will
[01:19:08] cast your wounds on myself.
[01:19:11] Go ahead.
[01:19:13] And it is a d8
[01:19:17] plus.
[01:19:17] Oh my gosh. Plus six.
[01:19:20] Oh, that's lie. Does that already
[01:19:22] include your feature?
[01:19:25] Yes.
[01:19:26] Great.
[01:19:26] Uh, so that's 5 + 6 11.
[01:19:29] Nice.
[01:19:31] Thank you.
[01:19:31] Let me hit you again. I have a crossbow
[01:19:34] here, too. So, you know,
[01:19:36] [ __ ] off. [laughter]
[01:19:38] Wait. 11.
[01:19:41] It's at you. I'm still alive.
[01:19:45] And then
[01:19:48] I'm just going to move slowly back away.
[01:19:52] K must get corrupted as well, right?
[01:19:54] When I hit him in the first round,
[01:19:57] you're all still corrupted. Only Alri is
[01:19:59] free.
[01:19:59] I'm the only sane person here. And I I'm
[01:20:02] the weakest one. And
[01:20:04] yeah, I'm I'm ging just because I rolled
[01:20:06] the net one. So I'm really dumb right
[01:20:08] now.
[01:20:10] And yeah, I just moved there.
[01:20:15] there.
[01:20:18] Next up, Poppy.
[01:20:21] Um, what do you do? Um,
[01:20:24] for the purposes of this Poppy, you see
[01:20:27] the sorcerer step outside of the bridge
[01:20:30] and as soon as Alrich kind of moves past
[01:20:34] the threshold,
[01:20:36] you feel this inexplicable indifference
[01:20:39] towards him,
[01:20:41] but still direct your rage at everyone
[01:20:43] else. As the black king,
[01:20:46] oh yes,
[01:20:47] you fiery redhaired halfling, you are
[01:20:51] mine. Yeah, that's so generous.
[01:20:55] What happened?
[01:20:56] Okay, who who are the white kingings
[01:20:59] people again?
[01:21:01] Uh Sheamus and Odi.
[01:21:03] Okay. Can Can I use melee or no? Or I
[01:21:10] mean I mean not melee. Can

[01:21:39] the the kings or just the pawns?
[01:21:44] You can.
[01:21:46] Um,
[01:21:47] right.
[01:21:48] You have been instructed. You can hit
[01:21:50] the kings. Yes. Not your king, but you
[01:21:52] have been instructed by your king to
[01:21:55] kill your to kill basically OD or
[01:21:58] Sheamus.
[01:21:59] Oh, okay. It's limited. Okay.
[01:22:03] Yeah.
[01:22:03] Oh, okay.
[01:22:06] If you see Ellie, Ellie's swallowing um
[01:22:10] the tiny constructs on the bridge like
[01:22:12] they're
[01:22:14] [laughter]
[01:22:15] Sorry.
[01:22:17] She's eating uh it's eating the the tiny
[01:22:20] constructs, but uh yeah, it doesn't.
[01:22:24] Out of this. Can I fight the corruption
[01:22:26] or something?
[01:22:28] Um no, unfortunately not.
[01:22:32] Um okay, I'll try to hit um OD. Sorry.
[01:22:36] Using a short [laughter] bow. Oh my god,
[01:22:39] you're using your bow
[01:22:42] because I can't I can't go melee because
[01:22:44] I only can move up to up to like five,
[01:22:48] right? I won't reach her.
[01:22:50] Yeah.
[01:22:51] Yeah.
[01:22:51] So that that that that won't make sense.

[01:23:56] I I mean, okay. Can I Can I move behind
[01:23:59] the white king and then attempt to hide?
[01:24:03] The white king is this small.
[01:24:05] Oh. Oh, as
[01:24:08] he's a chest piece. He's a chest piece.
[01:24:10] Can I go here? [laughter]
[01:24:13] Um, as you try to cross the threshold,
[01:24:16] give me a wisdom saving throw.
[01:24:18] Oh.
[01:24:18] Uh, okay.
[01:24:23] Wisdom.
[01:24:24] The zero.
[01:24:27] That's a 14.
[01:24:29] Unfortunately, you don't want to leave
[01:24:31] the bridge.
[01:24:34] So, I As you as you step at the
[01:24:37] precipice of the threshold, your rage
[01:24:40] intensifies and you look over your
[01:24:42] shoulder and you just want to kill
[01:24:44] everyone on this bridge. They don't own
[01:24:47] your side.
[01:24:48] Okay.
[01:24:49] Okay.
[01:24:49] All right. I guess that's my turn.
[01:24:54] And back we go to Alrich. It's your
[01:24:56] turn. What do you want to do?
[01:24:58] Uh, do I see the thing?
[01:25:01] Give me a perception check. Why? Why is
[01:25:04] Why is it always a check?
[01:25:07] Why is it always a check, Jeff? Oh,
[01:25:09] wait, wait, no. I already said it. No,
[01:25:11] it's touch move. Touch move. It's touch
[01:25:12] move.
[01:25:13] Uh 12 12 12.
[01:25:16] 12. You're frantically like looking down
[01:25:19] towards the slope, towards the bridge.
[01:25:21] It is in the river. You see it. It's
[01:25:25] almost like part of the rocks or uh the
[01:25:28] shattered rocks sticking out of the
[01:25:30] shallow waters. It's in uh more of the
[01:25:34] deeper part of the river. So, you are
[01:25:37] going to have to go um basically here.
[01:25:41] If you can see my mouse,
[01:25:42] I can see your mouse. Oh, this is so
[01:25:44] bad. I am the weakest person to be doing
[01:25:47] this stupid [ __ ] It's a It's a big ass
[01:25:49] statue. My mage hat can't do anything to
[01:25:51] it.
[01:25:53] How big is it, Jeff? Okay. Okay. This I
[01:25:55] guess it's not
[01:25:56] that big. It's It's like this big.
[01:25:59] Is it that big? Okay. Can I I see it.
[01:26:03] Would can I try to reach out with my
[01:26:05] telekinesis to lift it? Which is
[01:26:07] basically a flavored uh man.
[01:26:11] Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Uh give me a spell
[01:26:13] check. Um, basically in how you um how
[01:26:17] deafly you maneuver as you reach out
[01:26:20] across the distance and you will this
[01:26:24] stone object to
[01:26:28] pry itself from the clutches of the
[01:26:30] river. Give me a spell check.
[01:26:34] Uh, if I if I drop this thing and it
[01:26:36] breaks, we're doomed.
[01:26:38] We're fine.
[01:26:39] Break it. Break it. Break it.
[01:26:41] I'm use I'mma use my new dice for this.
[01:26:47] My Lord of the Ring dice for this.
[01:26:49] He's going to roll a not one.
[01:26:51] It's going to be a one.
[01:26:54] It's an eight.
[01:26:55] Prepare.
[01:26:55] It's an eight plus three 11. Jeff
[01:27:00] 11.
[01:27:01] Oh, he rolled. Not Oh, that's not good.
[01:27:04] He rolled. Um, with an 11, your
[01:27:07] telekinetic grasp latches on the
[01:27:10] statueette and you you kind of don't li
[01:27:12] you can't lift it. It's almost like the
[01:27:14] river. The surface tension of the water
[01:27:17] is holding back the statueette. It's not
[01:27:21] letting it go. So instead of lifting it,
[01:27:24] you just drag it across the ground
[01:27:29] bit by bit. Not enough for this turn
[01:27:32] though. But you have you have grasped it
[01:27:35] essentially. Uh your telekinesis is it a
[01:27:38] refreshing feat?
[01:27:39] No, it's always I can always just keep
[01:27:41] using it. It's just a flavored manage.
[01:27:45] Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wait, this isn't an
[01:27:47] actual feat. It's just mage hand.
[01:27:49] The feat the feet involves mage.
[01:27:52] Uh the telekinetic feat is uh Yeah.
[01:27:56] Yeah. Okay. So you are in the process of
[01:28:00] like um it's like essentially your mage
[01:28:04] hand uh is moving at half speed because
[01:28:08] it's dragging this statue behind it and
[01:28:12] the water is like contesting uh its
[01:28:15] movement back towards you. So, um,
[01:28:19] makes it nearly at the brink, you know,
[01:28:22] at the brink of the river, but not
[01:28:24] okay.
[01:28:25] Not back to you yet.
[01:28:27] Struggle to try, but that's what that's
[01:28:29] the end of my turn.
[01:28:32] Oh, it's your turn. What do you do?
[01:28:34] You got You guys got to survive one more
[01:28:36] round, guys. Maybe. Maybe one more.
[01:28:38] Maybe. I don't know.
[01:28:39] Maybe [laughter]
[01:28:41] I don't know.
[01:28:42] OD's OD's eyes OD's eyes keep focused on
[01:28:46] that little gold.
[01:28:48] You dropped your weapon. Did you pick it
[01:28:49] up?
[01:28:51] I'm not going to pick it up. I'm just
[01:28:52] focused on killing you. Uh,
[01:28:55] you're still going to punch me. My god.
[01:28:57] I still have I still have
[01:29:00] Oh, that Oh, thank you.
[01:29:02] I have other weapons.
[01:29:04] It takes an action to equip them.
[01:29:08] It shouldn't take an action to equip a
[01:29:10] weapon, right? No, they're they're just
[01:29:12] available. No,
[01:29:14] um I don't use actions to equip them
[01:29:17] unless you It's also not an action to
[01:29:20] like um I at least rule it as if you
[01:29:24] drop your weapon, use a bonus action to
[01:29:26] pick it up. Um and this isn't like an
[01:29:29] equip not equipped situation. So,
[01:29:34] as long as it's ticked in your like DND
[01:29:38] Beyond sheet, it's considered equipped.
[01:29:40] You can just like pull it out.
[01:29:42] Nice.
[01:29:43] Even if you're it's not on your hand.
[01:29:45] Nice.
[01:29:45] So, I pull out my remaining handax.
[01:29:48] Yep.
[01:29:49] This is for all the gold you've gotten
[01:29:51] from.
[01:29:53] [laughter]
[01:29:53] Whoa.
[01:29:56] So, that's a that's an 18 to hit.
[01:30:00] That hits.
[01:30:01] That just hits. Oh my god.
[01:30:03] Hey, that's a
[01:30:06] Wait, since I have the rig, I have plus
[01:30:07] one on my AC when it's on my back.
[01:30:11] Okay, you only bring that up now.
[01:30:13] Attack. No, we discussed it at the No,
[01:30:15] at session zero. I
[01:30:16] in this battle. In this battle,
[01:30:18] we did.
[01:30:19] Yeah. Yeah, you I asked if like if it's
[01:30:21] okay that if I get attacked in the back,
[01:30:24] I get a plus one AC.
[01:30:26] Oh, in the back. Yes, that's fine.
[01:30:29] What the [ __ ] So that's how
[01:30:31] um however you can move to maneuver away
[01:30:34] from like to face.
[01:30:37] Uh
[01:30:38] no, I'm just going to go in.
[01:30:39] Pass it.
[01:30:41] [ __ ]
[01:30:41] That's why you don't throw it. You hit
[01:30:43] me. What the hell?
[01:30:45] I just I just hit you.
[01:30:50] That's a
[01:30:52] kind. Okay.
[01:30:53] For a 1d6. That's a crit. No. Or is
[01:30:56] No, no, no. You don't crit unless you
[01:30:58] take this hit.
[01:31:00] Okay. Okay. It's a six.
[01:31:02] You really want to kill me, huh?
[01:31:05] It's an eight. It's an eight.
[01:31:08] Eight slashing damage. Tessic, mark that
[01:31:10] down as you your shoulder gets chopped
[01:31:14] by the hand axe.
[01:31:19] Thank
[01:31:20] is that your turn.
[01:31:21] Ah, okay. And that's it.
[01:31:25] 10 seconds. Your turn. you just got
[01:31:27] whacked and like now you have a gash.
[01:31:30] You're bleeding from your left forearm
[01:31:33] um because of this because of OD. A
[01:31:35] person you trusted has now hacked your
[01:31:39] arm, nearly cleaned off your body. I'm
[01:31:41] being dramatic, but essentially that's
[01:31:43] what you believe and you want to return
[01:31:45] the favor.
[01:31:48] girl, can I can I since I'm very scared
[01:31:54] like I was I was running away from her.
[01:31:57] Then I got hit and then can I jump off
[01:32:00] the bridge?
[01:32:01] What?
[01:32:04] It's okay. Just let it happen.
[01:32:06] The black king says, "Don't you dare
[01:32:09] turn back. Show me your blood. Show me
[01:32:12] your valor. Kill her."
[01:32:16] Can I resist that or no? Or is that a
[01:32:19] I rolled for it already?
[01:32:21] Ah, [ __ ] Okay, then
[01:32:24] Sally.
[01:32:26] The king's only.
[01:32:28] If you hit me, I'm going to get madder.
[01:32:31] [laughter]
[01:32:31] It's not my fault. Does a 13 hit?
[01:32:35] No, it doesn't.
[01:32:36] Okay,
[01:32:37] that's how her rage works.
[01:32:39] Staff and just the stone.
[01:32:44] Um, OD, you are furious at this penny
[01:32:47] dwarf.
[01:32:49] Next up, Sheamus, it's your turn. You're
[01:32:52] on OD's side with you. You have your
[01:32:54] crossbow out or you can cast a spell.
[01:32:57] I don't have any more spell slots, but
[01:32:59] wait, let me [laughter]
[01:33:02] just You can sacred flame somebody, bro.
[01:33:06] It's unlimited to use cantrips.
[01:33:08] Oh, right. I forgot about that. I'm
[01:33:10] going to use secret flame on testic.
[01:33:12] Holy [ __ ] That's
[01:33:15] Why would you do that? Disadvantage on
[01:33:17] decks.
[01:33:18] Exactly.
[01:33:19] Exactly.
[01:33:21] Oh yeah. Roll.
[01:33:22] Oh yeah. My deck is 13.
[01:33:24] That's not how that works.
[01:33:25] Yeah.
[01:33:26] What's your spell save DC? Uh
[01:33:28] spell save DC.
[01:33:29] Yeah. Uh 13.
[01:33:31] 13. 16.
[01:33:34] I save. You um press yourself against
[01:33:38] the ballastrade and you feel the curling
[01:33:41] heat of radiance reaching up from below
[01:33:45] as silver golden fire erupts from the
[01:33:48] ground. You um step on a on a stone
[01:33:52] construct soldier and you slip on the
[01:33:55] ground evading the attack.
[01:33:59] Oh my god.
[01:34:00] Sheamus is that your turn.
[01:34:03] You got lucky. A little bastard.
[01:34:07] And then I'm just teasing him.
[01:34:11] [laughter]
[01:34:12] Like a little girl.
[01:34:16] And then I'm going to move. One. Two.
[01:34:20] Okay.
[01:34:21] Three. Oh, wait. No.
[01:34:25] Can I try going off the bridge?
[01:34:28] Sure. as you try to cross the threshold.
[01:34:30] Let me wrote if the king intervenes.
[01:34:34] The king does not. Um the king so
[01:34:36] thoroughly engrossed in the battle
[01:34:38] before you. By the way, while you guys
[01:34:40] are fighting, the miniature construct
[01:34:44] men soldiers by your feet are still like
[01:34:47] going at it. Bodies or at least uh
[01:34:51] cracked construct um corpses or
[01:34:55] shattered on the ground. You see the
[01:34:57] remnants of miniature catapults cracking
[01:35:02] the the pavement of the bridge. You see
[01:35:05] you see um by the ballastrade just like
[01:35:08] these tiny little men like I don't want
[01:35:10] to do this anymore. One of them jumps
[01:35:12] from the ballast shatters on the ground.
[01:35:16] Um, Sheamus, give me a wisdom saving
[01:35:19] throw as you back up um towards a
[01:35:22] threshold. And the the white king is so
[01:35:26] focused on the battle, he does not
[01:35:28] notice you.
[01:35:28] You should be good at these. You should
[01:35:30] be good at these. Come on, boy.
[01:35:33] Come on, boy.
[01:35:36] 19.
[01:35:37] Great.
[01:35:38] Okay. 19.
[01:35:40] as though cold water splashed across
[01:35:43] your face. You realize,
[01:35:45] oh no, oh no, no, no. You You step away
[01:35:47] from the bridge and you're like, "Fuck
[01:35:49] that. [laughter] I'm not
[01:35:51] like [clears throat]
[01:35:54] I'm here to heal people, not kill them."
[01:35:56] What the [ __ ] was I doing?
[01:35:58] I just like All right. Wait, hold up.
[01:36:01] Poppy turn.
[01:36:02] He is still black. He still sounds like
[01:36:05] he's black.
[01:36:05] He sounds black. [laughter]
[01:36:08] Poppy, you still have one target left on
[01:36:10] the bridge. Um, and again, as Sheamus
[01:36:14] crosses the threshold um, back the way
[01:36:17] you came from, OD, Tessic, and Poppy,
[01:36:21] you feel this wave of indifference as if
[01:36:23] he was just part of the forest. You
[01:36:26] don't care about Sheamus anymore.
[01:36:28] Okay.
[01:36:28] So, I'm going to look at uh going to
[01:36:31] glance at Tessk as he's my ally. And I
[01:36:35] will notice that um this tall girl has
[01:36:38] been trying
[01:36:39] dancing like this
[01:36:40] to kill him. And I will like hey why are
[01:36:44] you try why are you trying to kill him
[01:36:46] again and again? And then I will try to
[01:36:51] um
[01:36:53] I'll try to
[01:36:55] fire another arrow.
[01:36:57] Oh yeah buddy.
[01:36:59] Uh do you want to hide first if you want
[01:37:01] to attempt something?
[01:37:03] Oh but Can I hide? Where can I hide?
[01:37:07] Because
[01:37:08] uh you're right. You don't have anywhere
[01:37:10] to hide. So
[01:37:11] it's still sneak attack, but you don't
[01:37:13] get advantage.
[01:37:16] Uh oh. Because she's engaged.
[01:37:19] No, there's no sneak attack because
[01:37:20] there's no
[01:37:21] Tessic is an ally, right? Tessic is an
[01:37:23] ally.
[01:37:24] Yeah. Yeah.
[01:37:25] Yeah. Yeah.
[01:37:25] That's beach.
[01:37:28] No, no, no. It's it's that's how it's
[01:37:29] worded in for D and D. If you have an
[01:37:32] ally engaged in melee combat with an
[01:37:34] enemy, you get sneak attack.
[01:37:38] Really?
[01:37:39] Yeah.
[01:37:39] Oh, no.
[01:37:39] Oh, yeah. And since uh OD can't really
[01:37:42] see or like is not looking at Poppy, she
[01:37:45] can hide and then Yeah, she she does get
[01:37:47] sneak attack.
[01:37:48] Oh, yeah. Yeah,
[01:37:49] she can sneak. I don't know about that
[01:37:51] part, but
[01:37:53] as long as field of vision od or like
[01:37:58] that's for Jeff to rule Jeff.
[01:38:08] This is from right?
[01:38:10] Yes, this is 2014 5e.
[01:38:15] Oh, I haven't refreshed my rogue
[01:38:17] knowledge.
[01:38:18] [laughter]
[01:38:21] You can do this, Mr. Jeff.
[01:38:29] You don't need advantage on the attack
[01:38:32] role, but it is a sneak attack. I see. I
[01:38:35] see. So, you don't have a disadvantage.
[01:38:38] Oh my gosh. That means I haven't been
[01:38:40] playing rogue much in 5e. Um, you So,
[01:38:44] this is a sneak attack pala.
[01:38:47] Okay. If I
[01:38:49] if I hit.
[01:38:51] So, no advantage now.
[01:38:53] Oh, I got a 12. I'm rolling badly.
[01:38:56] That's good though. That's good.
[01:38:58] Yeah, that's good.
[01:39:02] Um, you still have a bonus action and if
[01:39:04] you want to move anywhere,
[01:39:10] do
[01:39:10] I notice the attempt or No,
[01:39:14] the attempt. Yeah, definitely.
[01:39:16] Okay.
[01:39:18] Yeah. Can I try? Okay. I'm not going to
[01:39:21] move. It's okay.
[01:39:24] You tried to attack you. Attack her
[01:39:26] instead, please.
[01:39:29] Not me.
[01:39:31] Or do you move?
[01:39:33] No. No. Just stay.
[01:39:34] Oh, you don't move.
[01:39:35] Okay,
[01:39:37] I'm gonna focus.
[01:39:38] Bottom of the round. It's your turn.
[01:39:39] What do
[01:39:40] I'm gonna breathe in, internalize, and
[01:39:43] I'm going to focus. Try to channel all
[01:39:46] of the
[01:39:47] the magic that I've tried to use over
[01:39:49] the past few years, even though I've
[01:39:50] never been very good at it. And I'm
[01:39:52] going to focus all of my energy to try
[01:39:54] to lift this son of a [ __ ] from this
[01:39:57] cliff,
[01:39:59] right? Um, it does make it past the
[01:40:01] cliff and it drags it across the slope,
[01:40:06] um, up the slope and finally you haul it
[01:40:09] into your arms. It's um for the purposes
[01:40:12] of this, it's not as like it doesn't
[01:40:15] exceed the 10 pound limit of a mage's
[01:40:17] hand. So
[01:40:20] yeah, um you have the statueette in your
[01:40:22] arms. Uh what do you do?
[01:40:25] I'll after grabbing the statueette in my
[01:40:28] hands, I'm going to go over. So I should
[01:40:30] have enough movement to go over here.
[01:40:31] And if I do have an action or a free
[01:40:33] action to use, I'll try to put it back
[01:40:35] in there.
[01:40:37] Can I?
[01:40:38] Okay. As you place the statue, you affix
[01:40:41] it back to where it um you you gather it
[01:40:45] had come from. It slots itself on the
[01:40:49] stone platform and you fix it placing it
[01:40:54] towards the bridge as um it be uh as the
[01:40:57] watcher in your hands counterpoints
[01:41:00] um the rabbit on the other side. You are
[01:41:04] holding a stone swan um representing the
[01:41:08] balance being restored on the bridge.
[01:41:11] And as at the moment you turn the
[01:41:13] watcher opposing the rabbit on the other
[01:41:16] side, all the miniature soldiers and the
[01:41:19] kings, they first still back into stone
[01:41:23] and then they
[01:41:25] ate and vanish. All of you were left in
[01:41:27] silence once the four watchers are
[01:41:30] restored in the bridge. The candles
[01:41:33] Oh my god.
[01:41:35] And everyone else feels this
[01:41:39] relief, this veil lifting off of your
[01:41:42] shoulders, a pressure releasing you from
[01:41:46] wrath, and everyone returns back to your
[01:41:49] rational selves,
[01:41:51] albeit kill each other.
[01:41:55] Okay. Okay. After I put down the thing,
[01:41:58] I'm just going to walk back in front of
[01:42:00] everybody and I'm going to say,
[01:42:01] "Everybody, please stop. Stop. Are you
[01:42:04] Is everybody all right?"
[01:42:07] What are you doing in front of me?

[01:43:04] arrow is already knocked on the
[01:43:08] on uh on top of your on your fingertips.

[01:43:27] What is it?
[01:43:28] I'm so I look around and I see at the
[01:43:30] end of this at the at the other end of
[01:43:32] the bridge. Mr. Samoth, is that you?
[01:43:34] Come back here.
[01:43:36] I'm just [music] I'm just there like
[01:43:38] grasser and like

[01:43:52] you. He just tried. Okay,
[01:43:54] that's [laughter] the same thing. You
[01:43:56] little munch kid.
[01:43:57] No. No. What did you call me?
[01:44:00] Oh,
[01:44:01] never mind.
[01:44:03] Never mind.
[01:44:04] Okay. Anyways, anyway, I think I think
[01:44:06] Mr. Alrich here [music] has saved us
[01:44:09] from uh this predicament. This
[01:44:11] embarrassing predicament where I kept
[01:44:13] going, girl.
[01:44:15] And then
[01:44:16] I walk closer to the I walk closer to
[01:44:18] the Oh, this wasn't here before. Then I
[01:44:20] start tapping at the at the swan thing.
[01:44:22] What did you do, Mr. Alri?
[01:44:24] No, I I just found it over at the
[01:44:27] embankment down below and I fixed the
[01:44:30] the parapit which apparently
[01:44:33] sorted everybody out. So
[01:44:36] So after I I say
[01:44:39] no, it's okay. Good. So after I noticed,
[01:44:42] oh, there are other animals that I look
[01:44:44] around and like owl.
[01:44:51] H the rabbit.
[01:44:53] The rabbit.
[01:44:54] Oh, okay. Okay, never mind. Can everyone
[01:44:57] go off the bridge first?
[01:45:00] Oh, sure. And then I ran towards the end
[01:45:03] of the bridge and then I as I do that, I
[01:45:05] would say, "Ah, very thank you for what
[01:45:08] you did. Sorry for trying to hit you.
[01:45:13] Well, I'm happy to help, Miss Poppy.
[01:45:15] Although, you did do quite some damage.
[01:45:18] I won't lie. And I just show the the
[01:45:20] gash on my leg that's just bleeding
[01:45:22] profusely.
[01:45:24] Oh, that's [laughter]
[01:45:26] I realize now this is twice that Pompy
[01:45:28] has tried to well has turned on everyone
[01:45:31] else.
[01:45:32] Yeah.
[01:45:32] Oh my.
[01:45:34] You have a habit of uh turning on us,
[01:45:36] Miss Bobby. This is the second time this
[01:45:38] has happened. If you've noticed,
[01:45:40] I think that is true.
[01:45:43] It is not my idea, is it? I'm very
[01:45:45] sorry.
[01:45:48] Is it?
[01:45:50] I don't know. It's just I felt like I
[01:45:54] wanted to hit you and you and you.
[01:45:58] Are you sure that's not from you, Miss
[01:46:00] Poppy? Like, why are you even out here
[01:46:02] in the first place? Why are you out and
[01:46:04] about?
[01:46:05] What do you mean? I'm a traveler.
[01:46:08] No. Why? Why do you travel?
[01:46:11] Oh, because I've I like doing stuff,
[01:46:15] discovering stuff, doing things I
[01:46:18] haven't done before.
[01:46:20] I whisper in Od's ear. She's crazy.
[01:46:25] Uh, as you guys are talking, I I presume
[01:46:27] you guys move away from the bridge.
[01:46:29] Yeah.
[01:46:30] Yeah, we're we're all
[01:46:31] Before Before we just go on with our
[01:46:33] quest, is it okay if I just use my chat?
[01:46:36] If I just heal with the last bit of
[01:46:39] strength that I have for us.
[01:46:40] Can we Can we take a short rest, Jeff?
[01:46:45] You don't want to take a long rest? You
[01:46:47] still want to keep going? [laughter]
[01:46:49] Before we do,
[01:46:50] where are we going to take a long rest?
[01:46:52] Before that, can I can I can I grab one
[01:46:55] of the the animal shaped things?
[01:46:59] Oh god.
[01:47:00] Oh boy.
[01:47:01] You want to grab the statueette?
[01:47:03] Yeah.
[01:47:04] Oh boy. Oh, wait. Are we We're up first.
[01:47:07] We're up first.
[01:47:08] I'm not I'm not literally going to grab
[01:47:10] it. I'm just going to move it ever so
[01:47:12] slightly that it's out of position. And
[01:47:14] then I'm just going to keep testing.
[01:47:16] Oh my god.
[01:47:17] Okay. Uh you moved. You're on the other
[01:47:20] side of the bridge now. And on your side
[01:47:22] is the swan and the fox.
[01:47:26] So you
[01:47:28] Which one do you move?
[01:47:30] The swan.
[01:47:32] Yeah. You go back to the swan. It's
[01:47:34] still [music] wet from the river um
[01:47:36] below. That's um
[01:47:40] Alrich fished it out of Alrich's
[01:47:43] telekinesis fished it out of. And you
[01:47:45] kind of shift the stone. Um [music] it
[01:47:48] is a bit loose because it had weathered
[01:47:50] over time. So there is a crack that um
[01:47:53] was the reason why it fell into the
[01:47:55] bridge uh into the river in the first
[01:47:57] place. [music] Um give me a strength
[01:47:59] check if you want to move it.
[01:48:01] the
[01:48:02] So, while he's doing that, I move
[01:48:03] closer. Oh,
[01:48:05] that's a 17.
[01:48:07] Okay, you get
[01:48:08] Okay.
[01:48:08] 17.
[01:48:10] It moves and you you kind of turn it in
[01:48:12] place. You don't remove it. As you said,
[01:48:15] it turns in place and it faces um it is
[01:48:18] a square kind of uh gap in the stone.
[01:48:22] So, it doesn't turn perfectly. You kind
[01:48:24] of maneuver it, lift it up a bit, tilt
[01:48:26] it, and then face it um a kilter to
[01:48:30] wherever you wish to face it. Um but
[01:48:33] nothing nothing particularly happens.
[01:48:35] The bridge continues [music] to remain
[01:48:37] silent and you don't see the the tiny
[01:48:42] soldiers anymore.
[01:48:44] Do you want to remove it?
[01:48:46] No.
[01:48:48] For to make sure I I bonk it a bit and
[01:48:51] then I I cast mending on it. Can I do
[01:48:54] that on the broke on the where the
[01:48:56] crack?
[01:48:56] That's a good idea.
[01:48:59] Yeah.
[01:48:59] Okay.
[01:49:00] You mend the stone, it begins to
[01:49:02] reconstitute and the hairline fractures
[01:49:06] uh thin further into solid stone.
[01:49:10] Okay.
[01:49:16] For the since you asked me, you can
[01:49:19] technically long rest anywhere. Um,
[01:49:23] you just keep, you know, I decide if the
[01:49:25] night goes.
[01:49:29] [laughter]
[01:49:32] Well,
[01:49:33] it's better to rest.
[01:49:35] I think at this point we should
[01:49:36] definitely
[01:49:37] We should rest
[01:49:39] before we do anything.
[01:49:41] I channel my divinity and to preserve
[01:49:43] our lives.
[01:49:44] What does that mean?
[01:49:45] Okay. Yeah,
[01:49:46] we uh we res I restore 15 HP to any
[01:49:50] creatures. So then
[01:49:51] basically I since there's five of us, I
[01:49:53] give
[01:49:54] three HP to each one of us.
[01:49:56] I I wasn't hit. I wasn't hit. So
[01:49:58] Oh, great.
[01:49:59] That's okay.
[01:50:00] By waited
[01:50:05] it with others others who got hit.
[01:50:08] You guys are fine. Hell no.
[01:50:11] Then after after the rest, there's going
[01:50:13] to be like two owl bears outside the
[01:50:15] camp.
[01:50:15] That's fine. At least at least we'll
[01:50:17] we're long rested.
[01:50:19] Wait, I I only need I only need Okay,
[01:50:22] never mind.
[01:50:22] No, don't worry about the heal. Don't
[01:50:24] worry about the heels for now. Just
[01:50:26] we're going to get a long rest anyway.
[01:50:28] So,
[01:50:28] just do just let do his thing. Just let
[01:50:32] do his thing.
[01:50:32] So, how is this Jeff? So, I divide 15 by
[01:50:35] four.
[01:50:36] You can it the wording is you can divide
[01:50:38] it by any number you want.
[01:50:40] Okay. So,
[01:50:41] yeah,
[01:50:44] it can equal if you want.
[01:50:47] Okay. Uh, three to OD.
[01:50:51] Your character hates me, by the way. So,
[01:50:54] okay. Step one. Step one, Lance Par. To
[01:50:56] make it easy for you, ask each and every
[01:50:57] person how hard they've been hit.
[01:50:59] Okay. Is everyone okay? How what's your
[01:51:04] how how hurt are you?
[01:51:06] value.
[01:51:08] On a scale of 1 to 10, there
[01:51:10] a scale of one to
[01:51:12] how would you rate your pain?
[01:51:14] Yes. [laughter]
[01:51:16] Okay. So, how hurt are you guys on a
[01:51:19] scale of 1 to 10?
[01:51:20] I'm a I'm a zero. I think I didn't get
[01:51:24] hit by anybody.
[01:51:27] I was you,
[01:51:28] Mr. Al.
[01:51:29] I could use some help. I I ain't feeling
[01:51:33] too good.
[01:51:35] Okay then. Uh, how about you, Tess?
[01:51:40] Why? Why are you so aggressive with how
[01:51:42] you said my name?
[01:51:44] Nothing. [laughter]
[01:51:45] Nothing.
[01:51:46] I I am fine if that's what you're
[01:51:48] concerned about.
[01:51:50] Are you sure you don't want any healing?
[01:51:52] I I want your hair. That would heal me
[01:51:54] very much.
[01:51:56] Okay, I'm dividing this by two then.
[01:51:59] Okay.
[01:52:00] Uh I heal OD with [music] four and then
[01:52:03] since the remaining 11 will go to Alri.
[01:52:07] Damn.
[01:52:08] Damn. Okay.
[01:52:10] as you're healing um you're using your
[01:52:13] channel divinity and you pray to Il
[01:52:15] Mater um at least for OD um with your
[01:52:20] experience in the wild you do at the
[01:52:23] very least need um a fire going if
[01:52:27] you're going to set up camp for the long
[01:52:30] night ahead.
[01:52:34] So everyone, uh, since it looks like
[01:52:36] we're going to rest from that, um,
[01:52:40] little battle, I think we should set up
[01:52:42] camp here. So I start making my fire
[01:52:46] by the bridge.
[01:52:48] Are we setting up by the bridge? You've
[01:52:50] walked a bit further now. You're just in
[01:52:52] the middle of the Twilight for sure.
[01:52:54] By the tree. Okay. So as Odie was uh
[01:52:58] starting fire, I would I would say, "Oh,
[01:53:01] perfect. Now I can give away my cookies
[01:53:04] and my pastries that I have in my bag.
[01:53:09] Cool.
[01:53:09] Oh, wow.
[01:53:10] Uh you walk a bit further and you find
[01:53:13] um ruins here and there. Um apparently
[01:53:17] the Fay Wild is uh liter the ruins
[01:53:22] everywhere. Um, you find a secluded nook
[01:53:26] that you can tuck yourselves in for the
[01:53:27] night as [music]
[01:53:29] uh who builds the fire?
[01:53:32] Me.
[01:53:34] Odi builds the fire and you settle for
[01:53:37] the long night ahead.
[01:53:40] Uh, you begin your first long rest.
[01:53:44] First night.
[01:53:47] Nobody click anybody. No, no, no, no,
[01:53:49] no. Don't get
[01:53:51] No,
[01:53:52] it starts to rain a bit um
[01:53:55] through the canopy of the trees,
[01:53:58] but yeah. Um who wants to take first
[01:54:01] watch for this? I'll allow you two
[01:54:04] watches.
[01:54:05] I'll take first.
[01:54:06] It's a bit late.
[01:54:07] I'll take first watch.
[01:54:10] Okay. Um
[01:54:13] anyone else want to do You can do
[01:54:14] downtime. Um, you can, this is the
[01:54:17] moment to like bond over the fire.
[01:54:19] Yeah.
[01:54:20] Chat if you want to get to know each
[01:54:22] other since technically you all are
[01:54:24] still strangers.
[01:54:25] Yep.
[01:54:25] Um, but for this OD and all, you decide
[01:54:29] to stay up later than everyone else's.
[01:54:32] For Sheamus, Tessic, and Poppy, you can
[01:54:35] take your rest now and then wake up a
[01:54:38] little bit ear uh later and take second
[01:54:40] [music] watch. So Alri is just
[01:54:42] someone can volunteer to watch alone if
[01:54:45] you want, but for the for this two would
[01:54:49] be fine.
[01:54:50] So Alri would just be looking out into
[01:54:52] the uh since we're in a ruins, right?
[01:54:54] Basically similar to what we're seeing
[01:54:56] in the stream. I'll just be leaning next
[01:54:58] to a pillar looking out into the raining
[01:55:00] forest. Just
[01:55:01] My god, it's aura farming.
[01:55:03] Yeah, [laughter]
[01:55:04] that's literally what I'm doing. Yeah.
[01:55:07] And Odie just stares into the fire.
[01:55:09] Yeah. Look, look what Jeff is doing.
[01:55:10] That's what I That's what That's what
[01:55:11] he's [laughter] doing.
[01:55:13] Yeah.
[01:55:15] Yes. That's what Alrich is doing.
[01:55:18] Oh my god.
[01:55:19] Alrich is just Alri is just lost in
[01:55:21] thought. Especially since it's a quiet
[01:55:23] night and it's a rainy night. It's
[01:55:24] something that he he These are moments
[01:55:27] where he likes to reminisce about the
[01:55:29] past.
[01:55:32] Roll on your wild magic. I just want to
[01:55:34] see
[01:55:35] right now. Right now.
[01:55:38] I'm trying to I'm trying to set up a
[01:55:40] nice serious moment, Jeff. I'm trying to
[01:55:43] set up a nice roleplaying moment with my
[01:55:46] friend.
[01:55:47] It's not mechanically a wild magic
[01:55:49] serve. I just want to see something.
[01:55:52] Okay. So, what this is happening, I'm
[01:55:54] just staring into the fire and
[01:55:56] Alrech explodes.
[01:55:58] Let me know if something happens cuz I'm
[01:56:00] about to talk to him.
[01:56:01] I'm roleplaying Jeffrey.
[01:56:04] [laughter]
[01:56:04] I know.
[01:56:05] I got 81. I got
[01:56:07] a giant meteor comes crashing down on
[01:56:09] the [laughter]
[01:56:10] I got an 81. 81
[01:56:12] 81
[01:56:13] 81
[01:56:14] Perfect.
[01:56:17] Oh, you also don't have your table.
[01:56:18] No, I don't have my table. Jeff has my
[01:56:20] table.
[01:56:20] Oh my god, that's even scarier.
[01:56:22] We don't have our table, so it's fun.
[01:56:25] Where?
[01:56:28] We get attacked by 10 also.
[01:56:36] Proceed. Proceed.
[01:56:39] Yeah. I just wanted to see something.
[01:56:41] Okay. Oh,
[01:56:42] Mr. Alert,
[01:56:43] how did you do that earlier? You know,
[01:56:46] how did you not get taken by the bridge?
[01:56:49] Well, Miss, I I think I
[01:56:53] I think I just got lucky there in that
[01:56:55] moment. I mean, I'm not particularly of
[01:56:58] a
[01:56:59] strong mental fortitude. But
[01:57:03] I think at that moment, I just I didn't
[01:57:06] want to hurt anybody.
[01:57:09] And I think that
[01:57:10] that showed
[01:57:16] what did you what did you used to do
[01:57:17] before? Looks like a heart
[01:57:22] melded from time, you know.
[01:57:24] Uh well, I came from a small mining town
[01:57:28] over
[01:57:30] over by the mountains to the west. I
[01:57:34] I didn't do much. I wasn't that big of a
[01:57:38] help in a mining town being a
[01:57:41] scrawny,
[01:57:43] not very strong boy who has some serious
[01:57:47] magic issues, if you know what I mean.
[01:57:50] I'm very familiar with that.
[01:57:52] I I've seen it, Miz. It's quite
[01:57:55] intriguing. I noticed the other day in
[01:57:57] the ruins that all of a sudden you
[01:58:00] started glowing radiant, like light was
[01:58:02] shining from your body.
[01:58:06] Are you sure?
[01:58:07] Yeah, it was it was quite astounding to
[01:58:10] witness. Mizie, I don't I I don't know
[01:58:12] if you that was I was actually wondering
[01:58:14] myself. Um
[01:58:16] do you have some magical capabilities as
[01:58:18] well?
[01:58:23] Remember a few things happening before,
[01:58:26] but I'm not the magical one in the
[01:58:28] family. It's my brother actually.
[01:58:30] That's why I said it was pretty
[01:58:32] familiar. Yeah,
[01:58:33] I see.
[01:58:34] What you just said earlier reminds me a
[01:58:36] lot a lot about my little brother Aie.
[01:58:41] Ori.
[01:58:43] Yeah.
[01:58:46] Pause. Let me let me note that down in
[01:58:49] my notebook [laughter]
[01:58:56] named Aie.
[01:58:59] What's the name?
[01:59:00] Ori. I'm just going to spell it o r i e.
[01:59:04] Yeah. Wow. [laughter]
[01:59:06] Yeah. Yeah.
[01:59:08] Anyway,
[01:59:09] no. Spell it like this. Or and then e.
[01:59:14] Well, that's quite fascinating. So,
[01:59:15] because I I think I think I'm not I'm
[01:59:19] not very learned myself. Uh, all these
[01:59:23] magics just suddenly came to me and when
[01:59:26] I was young and I never really figured
[01:59:28] it out, but
[01:59:29] it's quite fascinating that had a
[01:59:31] brother that had some similar
[01:59:33] capabilities such as myself.
[01:59:35] Yeah.
[01:59:38] Well, yeah. Actually, it was kind of
[01:59:40] expected.
[01:59:41] Both my parents were uh were studying
[01:59:45] magic. I guess I was only the one who
[01:59:47] was in charge of, you know, getting
[01:59:49] ingredients if they needed anything for
[01:59:51] a spell or whatever.
[01:59:53] And the only one they thought was my
[01:59:56] little brother for some reason. From
[01:59:58] what I from what I heard, that's quite
[02:00:00] rare. Miss Odie, uh, a whole family of
[02:00:04] PE people with magical capabilities. Uh,
[02:00:08] uh, if I recall correctly, in my
[02:00:10] hometown, I think I was the only one
[02:00:12] that had these magics.
[02:00:16] Um, it was difficult trying to find out
[02:00:19] what it what what I had, especially
[02:00:21] considering that
[02:00:23] I'd had no one else that has a similar
[02:00:25] experience.
[02:00:27] H well,
[02:00:31] if we do find if we do manage to
[02:00:35] uh come across my little brother, maybe
[02:00:39] he can help you a thing or two. He likes
[02:00:41] studying about it, so maybe he'll be
[02:00:44] more of a help for you.
[02:00:46] I'd be quite interested in that. I
[02:00:48] appreciate
[02:00:55] and see
[02:00:58] [laughter]
[02:01:01] You are watching your companions for the
[02:01:05] night.
[02:01:13] Mr. Alrich, do you agree? This this
[02:01:16] little guy right here, I point towards
[02:01:17] Desk and his huge rig lightly light
[02:01:20] likely next next to him. What do you
[02:01:22] think he has going for him? You know,
[02:01:26] I I imagine if I will be honest, Miss
[02:01:29] Zodie, apart from yourself and Miss
[02:01:31] Poppy, I think Tessic is the most
[02:01:33] colorful character in our little group
[02:01:35] over here.
[02:01:36] He's he's definitely an interesting It's
[02:01:39] just interesting fella. Um I don't I've
[02:01:43] never seen anybody like him. Um I've
[02:01:46] I've met somebody that works with herbs
[02:01:49] and alchemy and potions of the sort. We
[02:01:54] had one in our sound, but he's just
[02:01:58] different.
[02:01:59] What's your take?
[02:02:04] I think he's a silly little man,
[02:02:06] honestly. But I heard he sounded a
[02:02:08] little different with you back in the
[02:02:11] rabbit's home earlier.
[02:02:15] He did. He sounded more serious for one
[02:02:18] moment.
[02:02:22] I wonder what he has
[02:02:26] within, you know,
[02:02:28] well,
[02:02:28] what he has under his sleeves perhaps.
[02:02:32] Uh if this feeling of
[02:02:37] um
[02:02:39] it I I I don't know if you felt this
[02:02:41] too, Miss Odie, but I feel like
[02:02:45] we're all tethered together in some way,
[02:02:49] like we're fated to
[02:02:53] travel or adventure the world together.
[02:02:55] So I I I imagine if that feeling is also
[02:03:00] similar with everybody else.
[02:03:02] In time we'll figure it out.
[02:03:07] So like OD gets into a little dead pan
[02:03:09] expression. Wasn't that what's just
[02:03:11] written in the arches outside? Outside I
[02:03:14] mean the you know where we came from.
[02:03:17] Yeah. Uh yes that is what was written.
[02:03:20] But as I said, if if it remains even
[02:03:23] when we get back to the real world or
[02:03:26] back to town,
[02:03:28] let's see how it goes.
[02:03:31] Okay. Um the two of you give me a
[02:03:33] perception check.
[02:03:34] Oh yeah.
[02:03:35] As good night.
[02:03:40] Will something happen if they lower?
[02:03:42] I got the 15.
[02:03:46] Another one.
[02:03:47] I got a 14.
[02:03:50] 14.
[02:03:51] Um, as the two of you are talking, you
[02:03:54] actually kind of keep your eyes ahead.
[02:03:56] [music]
[02:03:57] Um, keeping vigilant, um, as is your
[02:03:59] duty to your companions, at least for
[02:04:02] now. You angered Night's Watch as the
[02:04:05] shadows creep in the distance,
[02:04:09] never
[02:04:10] uh, approached.
[02:04:15] Uh, you wake Sheamus, Tessic, and Poppy
[02:04:19] as Alic and Odie, two of you take your
[02:04:23] long rest for the night.
[02:04:33] Does not like this silence.
[02:04:36] I just go
[02:04:40] ano just look look out into the like out
[02:04:44] away from the people
[02:04:47] and bring out my locket
[02:04:51] that I hid under my garment.
[02:04:54] Do I see that? I succeeded.
[02:05:00] Yeah, unless you hide [music] it.
[02:05:04] Okay.
[02:05:06] And I open it and [music] just look at
[02:05:07] the two pictures inside.
[02:05:12] That's just jumping over your shoulder
[02:05:14] trying to look at what it is. What is
[02:05:16] that?
[02:05:17] I close it immediately and like Oh,
[02:05:19] sorry. It's It's It's nothing
[02:05:23] and then I just hide it back.
[02:05:27] Why you're
[02:05:30] What? Poppy is muted. I think Poppy's
[02:05:33] saying something.
[02:05:35] Sorry. [laughter]
[02:05:37] I I was trying to look at uh what
[02:05:40] Sheamus was looking at to
[02:05:44] Oh, we were doing the same thing. We
[02:05:45] were doing
[02:05:45] Yeah, we're doing because we're small.
[02:05:48] You're actually trying uh give me a
[02:05:50] perception check contested with Sheamus
[02:05:52] slight of hand.
[02:05:53] Oh my god.
[02:05:55] Oh my god.
[02:05:56] We don't have to roll L. I rolled the
[02:05:58] not 20. Oh, still roll. No, still roll.
[02:06:04] Lance might get
[02:06:06] I got a five. Oh,
[02:06:09] I got I got a two
[02:06:12] three pala three.
[02:06:14] Sheamus, please explain to Tess what he
[02:06:16] saw on your locket.
[02:06:19] Um, it it contains a picture of my late
[02:06:23] wife and
[02:06:24] my missing son.
[02:06:28] Nowhere how I would have described that.
[02:06:32] Well, [laughter]
[02:06:35] um, I just really remember these, too.
[02:06:40] It's kind of the reason why I'm out
[02:06:41] here.
[02:06:44] I see you're also looking for missing
[02:06:47] people.
[02:06:49] Um,
[02:06:49] I believe Tessic is also looking for
[02:06:51] people. Maybe we're looking for the same
[02:06:53] person.
[02:06:54] I doubt we're looking for the same
[02:06:56] person.
[02:06:57] You never know.
[02:06:59] Yeah, you never know. Maybe it's the
[02:07:01] same person. Unless you know the the
[02:07:04] names are different.
[02:07:06] Ah, Ta forgot the name, but he he's very
[02:07:08] big. So,
[02:07:11] like maybe three times your size.
[02:07:14] Oh, definitely not. I'm
[02:07:17] It's not your son. Oh, that's
[02:07:19] Oh, it's
[02:07:20] What's the name of your son, Tamus?
[02:07:24] It's Levi.
[02:07:28] I've been kind of looking around the
[02:07:31] forest. [music]
[02:07:31] Well, not just forest, for any
[02:07:35] not well for any taverns where he might
[02:07:38] end up.
[02:07:39] But really, I'm just really worried
[02:07:41] about him.
[02:07:43] So, he uh he left town or what happened
[02:07:46] to him?
[02:07:48] He he kind of left our family
[02:07:53] because well
[02:07:56] it's not kind of obvious but the family
[02:08:00] I came from are nobles. So having an
[02:08:03] heir is an important thing for us
[02:08:06] and
[02:08:08] I guess that's kind of the reason why
[02:08:09] you need to find him.
[02:08:13] So, you mean you have a son of fortune
[02:08:16] and Levi is your only heir? [snorts]
[02:08:19] Well,
[02:08:20] you're a king.
[02:08:21] No, I I wouldn't say I'm a king, but I
[02:08:26] honestly don't even follow the kings
[02:08:28] closest to our town, but rather
[02:08:31] we we are practically just the
[02:08:34] ambassadors for the humans. We don't we
[02:08:37] don't really follow their their
[02:08:39] royalties or whatever. We just help out
[02:08:42] the adventures that come from them who
[02:08:44] just happen to pass by and our church of
[02:08:48] El Mater just just blesses them on
[02:08:52] having a good journey as they go out.
[02:08:56] Well, can can you describe your son? I I
[02:08:59] was traveling
[02:09:01] for a while now. So probably I've seen
[02:09:04] him if he's uh you know some some
[02:09:06] striking
[02:09:08] uh characteristics or something. Maybe I
[02:09:11] would look out for him, help you out a
[02:09:13] little as we go along.
[02:09:17] Well, I guess the best way to describe
[02:09:20] him is like just imagine well of course
[02:09:25] me but he has black hair and
[02:09:31] Sorry. Sorry.
[02:09:33] Are you Are you sure he's your son?
[02:09:36] [laughter]
[02:09:38] Um, yes, I'm sure. He has black hair and
[02:09:41] brown eyes similar to
[02:09:45] Similar to his mother.
[02:09:47] Similar to Levi A.
[02:09:49] Does he have short hair?
[02:09:51] No, he hasn't.
[02:09:52] No, don't answer that.
[02:09:54] Don't answer me. I'm asleep.
[02:09:55] No, no, no, no, [laughter] no, no. I'm
[02:09:57] not going to say that. I know. He his
[02:09:59] [music] hair actually is well quite as
[02:10:02] long as mine. I think he wanted to grow
[02:10:05] it as well following my footsteps or
[02:10:07] something.
[02:10:08] Well, if you say that there's a lot a
[02:10:12] lot of blackhaired and brown eyes men in
[02:10:17] this in this continent or maybe in the
[02:10:20] towns alone, is there some sort of like
[02:10:23] um distinguishing factor? Maybe a
[02:10:27] tattoo. Is that tattoo? A marking. A
[02:10:30] marking. I mean, uh something that uh
[02:10:34] when we see it, we know it's your son.
[02:10:39] I guess he [music] could have had with
[02:10:41] him.
[02:10:43] The amulet I gave him with
[02:10:46] Oh, an amulet.
[02:10:49] The
[02:10:49] Can you describe it?
[02:10:52] the amulet [music] that was given to him
[02:10:55] on the back
[02:10:57] it
[02:10:59] it had the symbol of our church
[02:11:01] worshiping ill mother and then
[02:11:06] and then on the front it's just a red
[02:11:09] jewel that I gave it to him as I found
[02:11:12] it in
[02:11:15] one of
[02:11:15] a red jewel meaning a ruby or something
[02:11:19] else and uh what is this uh symbol
[02:11:22] symbol of ill matter. Ill matter is your
[02:11:25] god, right?
[02:11:26] Oh, yes. It's basically it's [music] the
[02:11:29] symbol we use in our church. So,
[02:11:32] what does it look like? Cuz I'm not very
[02:11:34] familiar.
[02:11:36] I'm very sorry about it.
[02:11:40] Well, our symbol looks like two hands
[02:11:44] crossing each other and like a rope or
[02:11:49] or no, a rope tying these two hands
[02:11:52] together as if it's like bounding them.
[02:11:57] Like a prisoner, right?
[02:11:59] That's very kinky, Mr.
[02:12:02] Well, I mean,
[02:12:04] your god is very kinky. We worship him
[02:12:06] because of he his endurance to pain not
[02:12:10] that
[02:12:12] okay
[02:12:14] well
[02:12:14] that's kind of absurd but uh you do what
[02:12:18] you do
[02:12:22] yeah I hope you find your son somehow in
[02:12:27] this journey
[02:12:29] maybe I'm your son
[02:12:31] I would hope
[02:12:33] you would hope Oh.
[02:12:35] Oh, you have hurt. Tess heart.
[02:12:39] Yeah, my Tex heart is broken.
[02:12:42] Only a golden hair would fix it.
[02:12:46] Anyways,
[02:12:48] enough of Enough of Samos sadness. I
[02:12:51] don't like the melancholy mood here.
[02:12:54] What about you, little one? Puppy.
[02:12:57] What's the name? Poy. P A P I. Yes.
[02:13:01] No, it's a P.
[02:13:02] No, it's P A P I. Yes.
[02:13:04] I actually don't know how to spell, but
[02:13:08] um my name is like uh you know the
[02:13:11] flower that grows with the red petals. I
[02:13:15] don't know if you're familiar with it,
[02:13:17] but it's the same.
[02:13:20] No, it's poppy.
[02:13:21] She just said poppy. Are you
[02:13:23] Oh, my bad. I
[02:13:25] Yeah, same same with that.
[02:13:28] I just real
[02:13:28] Can I teach her how to spell puppy?
[02:13:33] Sure.
[02:13:35] Then this is how you spell it your name
[02:13:38] puppy. And then I just write down on the
[02:13:41] ground with my uh with my
[02:13:42] st
[02:13:44] common.
[02:13:45] Oh.
[02:13:45] Uh yes.
[02:13:47] Okay.
[02:13:49] It looks
[02:13:52] squiggly but uh I I attempted to write
[02:13:55] it in my journal.
[02:13:59] I see. Thank you for letting me know the
[02:14:03] spelling of my name.
[02:14:05] You understand that journal?
[02:14:07] Wait.
[02:14:08] Oh, yes.
[02:14:09] You have a journal and you don't know
[02:14:10] how to write.
[02:14:12] No, I know how to write. I can write.
[02:14:14] You see, I've written all these things.
[02:14:17] I look at the journal of puppy and like
[02:14:19] it's just squiggling. It's like
[02:14:21] fiveyear-old drawings. It's like,
[02:14:23] "Oh,
[02:14:25] sure."
[02:14:26] Oh, sus. You don't have to sugar coat
[02:14:28] it.
[02:14:29] Okay. No, it's it's really here. See,
[02:14:32] it's uh the things that I want to do and
[02:14:36] the things that happened to me. It's
[02:14:38] it's just it's very neatly looking.
[02:14:40] There's even like drawings here and
[02:14:43] there.
[02:14:44] Can I borrow that for a minute?
[02:14:47] I'm not going to do anything to it.
[02:14:48] Just just uh make sure nothing happens
[02:14:51] to it. And make sure that nothing
[02:14:53] happens with the small paper at the
[02:14:55] back. It's something very important to
[02:14:58] me. I just my grand my gran actually
[02:15:02] gave it to me but uh I as I don't know
[02:15:05] how to read I I don't know what it
[02:15:08] means.
[02:15:09] Oh maybe I can help
[02:15:12] will surely help by reading maybe.
[02:15:15] Okay that means
[02:15:17] I will lend you the the paper for now.
[02:15:21] Just be sure not to lose it.
[02:15:25] I will lose it. But I I'll I'll put it
[02:15:28] now. Don't worry. I think I can also
[02:15:30] help with translating this.
[02:15:32] No, this is my job. Go away.
[02:15:37] What about you, Tess? Uh what brings you
[02:15:41] to this place? I mean, I know we've been
[02:15:44] here because we we went to the artist,
[02:15:47] but uh like
[02:15:50] what are you doing here? [music] like uh
[02:15:53] are you traveling as well?
[02:15:56] You could say that or you could say t is
[02:16:00] looking for someone or something. I'm
[02:16:03] not really sure. It's been so long. I
[02:16:07] forgot
[02:16:09] forgotten long.
[02:16:14] Yeah, if you haven't noticed, Tess is,
[02:16:17] you know, has a problem.
[02:16:20] Some might call it that I have autism
[02:16:23] thatism or that I'm just simply
[02:16:26] forgetful.
[02:16:29] However, you can rely on me when it
[02:16:31] comes to spells to alchemy to anything
[02:16:34] that you can write to anything
[02:16:36] technical.
[02:16:38] However, you cannot rely on me when it
[02:16:40] comes to faces. That is why I'm very
[02:16:42] ashamed that I cannot help see Amos
[02:16:45] here.
[02:16:47] It's all right. But I mean, you are a
[02:16:50] great person when it comes to alchemy. I
[02:16:52] saw what you Well,
[02:16:54] ah, yes, I know I am.
[02:16:55] I assume what you did beforehand when we
[02:16:59] when we went to the rabbit's house.
[02:17:01] Oh, you're familiar with my with how I
[02:17:04] do things with the song.
[02:17:07] Well, not entirely. more of I have I
[02:17:11] have had encounter with such medicines a
[02:17:15] lot but
[02:17:16] no no no what I mean is the so do you
[02:17:19] not hear it
[02:17:20] the song
[02:17:21] do you not feel it
[02:17:23] oh you're not familiar from what looks
[02:17:25] like never mind
[02:17:28] okay then
[02:17:29] enough of me what brings you here puppy
[02:17:33] as I as I asked that can I ritual cast
[02:17:36] identify on the book on the journal
[02:17:38] Sure.
[02:17:40] Um, as you cast your magic on the
[02:17:43] journal itself, you do feel uh a faint
[02:17:46] concentration of u
[02:17:50] of song um on the magic settling over
[02:17:55] its pages. And as the melody settles in
[02:18:00] the back of your
[02:18:02] mind, um, one, you get the sense that
[02:18:06] yes, it's definitely magical. Two, not
[02:18:09] not powerful by any means. Three, by its
[02:18:13] very nature,
[02:18:16] the journal hides or encodes or encrypts
[02:18:21] information
[02:18:23] that the owner writes within it
[02:18:28] only for the owner's uh
[02:18:34] eyes and uh knowledge to be able to read
[02:18:39] it.
[02:18:42] Well, while while I was doing that, you
[02:18:43] guys uh Poppy can talk. I didn't ask.
[02:18:47] [clears throat]
[02:18:48] Actually, I uh like I said, I am a
[02:18:52] traveler. So, I I go about and go from
[02:18:56] town to town and uh I plan to really
[02:18:59] discover a lot of things, perhaps
[02:19:02] experience a lot of things that I
[02:19:04] haven't done before. You see uh I came
[02:19:07] from a very small village and uh the
[02:19:11] place is uh you would imagine that
[02:19:14] people like me would live like it's very
[02:19:16] peaceful. It's actually called uh willow
[02:19:20] me and uh they say that it's willow me
[02:19:25] because uh there's an abundance of
[02:19:27] willow trees and uh we are known for the
[02:19:30] production of a good type of alcohol.
[02:19:33] It's called the mead. But the secret is
[02:19:37] in the honey that we make I mean
[02:19:39] produced in uh our place. Actually uh
[02:19:42] the name of the liquor is what was that
[02:19:45] again? Ah it's a fireside amber. I don't
[02:19:49] know if you've heard of it but
[02:19:56] can I make a history check to see if I
[02:19:58] heard of it?
[02:20:00] Fireside amber. Uh who said that? Test
[02:20:03] it. Test it. It's okay.
[02:20:05] Yeah, sure. History check.
[02:20:08] That's a 14.
[02:20:11] A 14. You are um from what you know is
[02:20:16] the person
[02:20:18] most unreliable to retain information in
[02:20:22] this part of the region because you are
[02:20:25] not from here at all. You were passed
[02:20:28] away here by fate or circumstance.
[02:20:32] um from a place you don't even um really
[02:20:36] know where uh relative [music] to Elios,
[02:20:41] the continent of Elios where you are. So
[02:20:44] even with a 14,
[02:20:47] you can only kind of piece together that
[02:20:49] fireside amber is like,
[02:20:53] you know, the type of alcohol,
[02:20:55] especially with your knowledge of
[02:20:57] liquors and uh elixirs. So you can you
[02:21:00] get the idea of what kind of alcohol it
[02:21:03] is and
[02:21:05] the general idea behind what fireside
[02:21:07] amber is. But historically you've
[02:21:09] actually never heard of it since you are
[02:21:11] not from here. Um like more accurately
[02:21:15] the significance of it um willow mead
[02:21:18] and
[02:21:20] uh other details surrounding it. You are
[02:21:22] unfamiliar. You get the idea what it is
[02:21:25] though as a substance itself [music] as
[02:21:27] the alcohol.
[02:21:29] Do you have something you can maybe try
[02:21:32] so we know the taste of it?
[02:21:35] Well, uh, unfortunately I I had a bottle
[02:21:38] back then, but uh when one time when I
[02:21:41] was very cold, I uh I decided to use it.
[02:21:45] [laughter]
[02:21:46] Use it as what?
[02:21:48] Use it as a you know, drink it so I'd
[02:21:51] feel a bit warm inside. You know, that's
[02:21:54] what uh most of the alcohols do. But
[02:21:58] this I know like this this alcohol we
[02:22:01] had this uh this meat it's uh made from
[02:22:04] the purest honey. So it it tastes really
[02:22:08] really nice like like its name. It it it
[02:22:12] feels like uh you are seated in a in a
[02:22:16] campfire or a fireplace. You'd feel the
[02:22:19] warmth and the
[02:22:22] and then the color is that of deep
[02:22:25] amber.
[02:22:26] If you know that the gem.
[02:22:28] Yeah.
[02:22:33] I hope I hope someday we we go to like a
[02:22:36] a very nice inn where I can cook maybe
[02:22:39] and and replenish my pastries that I
[02:22:43] keep keep on giving out and maybe we can
[02:22:46] order some uh some of that.
[02:22:51] But yeah, I'm just here to to travel the
[02:22:55] world and see what's on the other side
[02:22:58] of the hill.
[02:23:00] That that sound fun. Tekk would love to
[02:23:02] travel as well.
[02:23:04] Yeah, we could be travel buddies if you
[02:23:06] like.
[02:23:07] As long as we keep Mr. Seamus and the
[02:23:10] other two there with us.
[02:23:12] Yeah. Do you How do you find our
[02:23:15] companions? I find particularly
[02:23:20] uh like uh I feel like they're are good
[02:23:23] people. Oh, what about you guys? You
[02:23:26] think uh they're okay? They're like uh
[02:23:29] good people. ask asking Tessk about what
[02:23:34] he thinks about people when about when
[02:23:37] his only experience is you know just a
[02:23:40] few days with them and then he just
[02:23:42] forgets the few days he spent with them
[02:23:44] is very untrustworthy.
[02:23:47] [snorts] So I think I think Amos would
[02:23:49] give a better uh criticism on how what
[02:23:54] he thinks about our companions here.
[02:23:58] Well, I'm going to forget they
[02:24:01] they seem okay,
[02:24:04] I guess. Well, I would say nothing
[02:24:07] sticks out like
[02:24:10] um this woman here, Odie.
[02:24:15] Mhm.
[02:24:16] I think from the looks of it, she
[02:24:17] [music] came from a farm. I guess
[02:24:20] a farm.
[02:24:23] How could you say that? He She came from
[02:24:25] a farm. That's very racist, Alex.
[02:24:29] No, no, not not in that way. But really,
[02:24:32] in our parts, we call that stereotyping
[02:24:34] and we would have we would have you
[02:24:36] beheaded.
[02:24:37] Well, then
[02:24:38] honey,
[02:24:40] but I'm not assuming anything. It's just
[02:24:42] from the clothing she's wearing right
[02:24:43] now.
[02:24:44] You you did assume.
[02:24:45] That is exactly what assuming is.
[02:24:47] Okay. Okay.
[02:24:48] I think I think you don't understand
[02:24:49] what the word assuming is. Um, you're a
[02:24:52] priest, but you're this dumb.
[02:24:57] elephants.
[02:24:59] So, personally for me, I kind of find OD
[02:25:03] really nice. I I wouldn't have thought
[02:25:06] of parting with something so important
[02:25:09] with me. But, uh, she gave that
[02:25:12] eyeglasses to the bunny rabbit, right?
[02:25:15] And in in in replace in in replacement
[02:25:19] of that, you are able to get your your
[02:25:22] kite, right?
[02:25:24] Well, it's not necessarily mine. It's
[02:25:27] Well, some kids just asked me to get the
[02:25:30] sky actually from tree.
[02:25:33] Oh, kids.
[02:25:34] Well, is it your kid?
[02:25:37] No, I just have one kid.
[02:25:39] You play with kids when you're very old?
[02:25:46] No, I don't play with kids.
[02:25:49] They were just looking for help because
[02:25:51] one of them got injured and
[02:25:54] they were asking me to get this kite
[02:25:56] from a huge tree.
[02:25:58] You could have said so.
[02:26:00] You're a very
[02:26:02] you're a very helpful person.
[02:26:05] Oh, I try my best to help anyone I
[02:26:08] encounter.
[02:26:10] We are very similar to
[02:26:13] our sorc friend here, Alvi. He does not
[02:26:16] know us, but he does his best to help
[02:26:19] us.
[02:26:21] Yeah.
[02:26:22] Even though our our barbarian friend
[02:26:25] here, you know, chopped him there a bit
[02:26:27] earlier.
[02:26:30] Speaking of Mr. Alri, how how did you
[02:26:34] two encounter again?
[02:26:35] I'm asleep.
[02:26:37] No,
[02:26:37] no, no. I mean, he's talking
[02:26:40] talking to me.
[02:26:43] Uh, I don't know. Oh, I was just
[02:26:47] one when I was just f walk walking in
[02:26:49] the forest and then uh suddenly
[02:26:52] this mist came and then I didn't know
[02:26:55] what happened to me but then I woke up
[02:26:58] and there is this figure you know like
[02:27:01] somebody wearing a coat and saying in a
[02:27:04] very hush hush voice saying do not do
[02:27:08] not scream or something like that as if
[02:27:10] I'm gonna scream. He's a stranger, isn't
[02:27:13] he? It's my first time learning about
[02:27:16] him. So, I screamed and that's the the
[02:27:20] beginning of how we met each other. But
[02:27:22] I I actually don't know much about him.
[02:27:24] But I kind of am very curious about him.
[02:27:27] You know, he's like a cat. His eyes are
[02:27:30] like a different color. So, I'm very
[02:27:32] very curious about it. Perhaps I will
[02:27:34] ask sometime. But uh yeah, it reminds me
[02:27:38] of a some sort of a cat in my hometown.
[02:27:44] Well, I mean it's good to hear that he's
[02:27:46] also helping you out especially
[02:27:50] I guess getting after getting lost in
[02:27:52] some forest.
[02:27:55] And well, speaking of, how did you guys
[02:27:59] get here? Since, [music] well, I came
[02:28:02] from the tree that I was climbing to get
[02:28:05] the kite back.
[02:28:11] Well, what happened to us was we ate
[02:28:13] from a very, very nice piece. I can
[02:28:16] still remember the sausages. It's oily
[02:28:18] and it's fatty and all the very nice and
[02:28:21] delicious fruits that we had. And then
[02:28:25] after that I was invisible and all all
[02:28:28] Alarik was a part of a tree and that's
[02:28:30] all I can remember honestly.
[02:28:34] Well I see. How about you Mr. Tess?
[02:28:39] Tess forgot your question.
[02:28:42] Uh how did you end up here in the free
[02:28:44] world?
[02:28:46] I have no idea.
[02:28:49] He does not remember. He was just
[02:28:51] walking through a forest and then b I
[02:28:55] was I was lying down with a bunch of
[02:28:57] random people. You and that big lady
[02:29:00] over there.
[02:29:01] Oh,
[02:29:02] very very very nice
[02:29:05] events.
[02:29:07] My first time experiencing it. Well, not
[02:29:09] really.
[02:29:10] I did, but I was cast away like two
[02:29:14] times, three times actually when I got
[02:29:18] here.
[02:29:19] That's not very good experience.
[02:29:22] It's very good. You should try it.
[02:29:24] Oh, really?
[02:29:25] I would. Yeah, I would recommend
[02:29:27] like uh from 1 to 10, how do you rate
[02:29:30] it?
[02:29:31] Maybe a six or a seven.
[02:29:34] Ah, perhaps I will try. But uh I I'm
[02:29:38] very curious about uh what's on your
[02:29:41] back all the time. It seems very heavy.
[02:29:43] No.
[02:29:44] Yeah. Don't you have trouble carrying
[02:29:46] that all around?
[02:29:47] No. If you see, I'm very strong.
[02:29:51] What is that? Is that a What is it? A
[02:29:53] metal thingy? A storage closet.
[02:29:58] What? This thing in the Oh, this is
[02:30:00] where uh Ellie sleeps. Where I keep
[02:30:03] Ellie if ever I you deactivate her.
[02:30:08] Deact.
[02:30:08] Ah, so it's like a box, a metal box. And
[02:30:12] it's
[02:30:12] like a house. It's like a Yeah, it's
[02:30:15] like a cat home or like similar to
[02:30:17] Franks.
[02:30:20] Frank doesn't have a something like
[02:30:23] that. He just He just follows me and
[02:30:26] sleeps wherever.
[02:30:27] I'll make sure to make you a backpack
[02:30:31] for Crown.
[02:30:33] That's very nice of you. I kind of like
[02:30:36] you, Tessk. You're very kind, although
[02:30:38] you're very forgetful.
[02:30:40] What were we talking about again?
[02:30:43] Yeah, exactly what I meant.
[02:30:47] Are you are you insulting?
[02:30:50] Not really. So So you mean you you can't
[02:30:52] really remember anything or there are
[02:30:55] things or circumstances that you can
[02:30:58] remember? Perhaps
[02:31:00] it's more of Tekk does not choose what
[02:31:04] he forgets or what he remembers.
[02:31:07] However, what what Tekk knows is that he
[02:31:10] is very smart. He is very talented when
[02:31:13] it comes to what I do because of some
[02:31:16] teachings of someone that I apparently
[02:31:19] know.
[02:31:22] If you are
[02:31:24] potions, elixir,
[02:31:27] I craft things. I make other people
[02:31:30] drink it. Something happens. There was a
[02:31:33] time that some I made someone drink a
[02:31:34] potion and then they go they went kaput.
[02:31:38] So, oh my
[02:31:40] very interesting.
[02:31:41] No, no, it's a No, it's a it's a it's a
[02:31:43] good thing because at least we now know
[02:31:45] that, you know, that potion makes people
[02:31:46] go kaput.
[02:31:48] Have you tried selling it for gold? It
[02:31:51] seems like a good business for you.
[02:31:54] I tried. I almost got arrested.
[02:31:58] Perhaps you should be a bit more hush
[02:31:59] hush about it.
[02:32:01] Yes. Yes. We We go hush hush. Is that
[02:32:04] what you Is that how you say? Hush hush.
[02:32:06] Hush hush. Yes.
[02:32:08] Okay. Hush. Hush. See, we teach each
[02:32:11] other things
[02:32:13] regarding the rig. It's part of the
[02:32:16] part of you.
[02:32:17] It was a Yes. I cannot live without it.
[02:32:21] It cannot live without me. No one else
[02:32:24] know how to use it. And if you hit it
[02:32:27] like, you know, hard enough, it might do
[02:32:30] something.
[02:32:31] But it I thought it's just Ellie's home.
[02:32:34] No, it's also part of how I do things.
[02:32:39] It's like a portable uh alchemy table
[02:32:42] for me.
[02:32:43] Oh, it's it's a multifunctional
[02:32:46] Oh, was it is that what how people say
[02:32:48] that? Multifunction like a many things
[02:32:52] do kind of thing.
[02:32:53] Things many do. Yes, it's that kind of
[02:32:55] thing.
[02:32:58] It does many things. It can it can act
[02:33:00] as a shield. I can b Mr. say amus with
[02:33:02] it like this and then bonk it. Excuse
[02:33:05] me. See, it's not very hard.
[02:33:08] Don't Don't bonk it, though. It might It
[02:33:10] might I don't know what it's capable of.
[02:33:12] So,
[02:33:13] oh, I'll keep that in mind.
[02:33:17] So, as the three of you are chatting
[02:33:19] well into the night,
[02:33:22] [laughter] your conversation into the
[02:33:24] mechanics and the logistics of Tessic's
[02:33:27] rig. Uh the sun faintly
[02:33:30] um
[02:33:32] peaks over in the horizon far far far
[02:33:36] into the distance. Get the sense that um
[02:33:39] despite the sun like showing its glowing
[02:33:44] face above the mountains, the light of
[02:33:47] it doesn't reach completely
[02:33:50] um
[02:33:52] at least where you are. It remains uh
[02:33:55] twilight where you are.
[02:33:58] Um,
[02:34:00] so you get the sense that the dominion
[02:34:02] of night persists despite the passing of
[02:34:06] time uh here in the area where you've
[02:34:09] decided to rest. But at least as you see
[02:34:12] the golden glimmer beyond the horizon,
[02:34:16] you it does mark the time um and the end
[02:34:21] of your
[02:34:23] of your long rest. But before that, give
[02:34:26] me the three of you a perception check.
[02:34:32] Um, 14,
[02:34:37] 20, 30.
[02:34:40] I got
[02:34:43] 23.
[02:34:46] So, for test, it's a dirty 20.
[02:34:52] Um, you don't see anything uh alarming
[02:34:57] apart from this strange side of the fa
[02:34:59] wild where it remains
[02:35:02] uh in twilight perpetually. The
[02:35:05] fireflies still flit about in the air.
[02:35:08] Um but the temperature kind of warms up
[02:35:11] a bit and the cold night um kind of
[02:35:15] retreats
[02:35:16] uh from its complete hold in the air in
[02:35:20] the crisp air around you. So despite you
[02:35:24] seeing still [music] the twilight forest
[02:35:26] before you, you get the feeling that
[02:35:28] because of the very minute changes in
[02:35:31] the air and in the far side of the sky
[02:35:35] that it is somewhat
[02:35:38] mourning at least on the other parts of
[02:35:40] the fay. While here though there's like
[02:35:42] a perpetual darkness just [music] like
[02:35:45] glaming over the side of the forest
[02:35:48] itself. Uh, definitely time moves
[02:35:52] differently here, but yeah, you end your
[02:35:55] your long rest and you wake OD and
[02:35:59] Alrich up. As you resume your trek
[02:36:03] through the Twilight Forest, OD is still
[02:36:06] bound and you still don't know exactly
[02:36:09] where to go. Everywhere around you, the
[02:36:12] fireflies are still fitting by
[02:36:14] um carrying on in their possessions
[02:36:17] towards different parts of the forest.
[02:36:19] Uh you think you can see several paths
[02:36:23] ahead created by a tunnel uh a tunnel
[02:36:26] created by the power of trees. Um
[02:36:30] the moonlight still slips past through
[02:36:32] [music] the canopy and shimmers above
[02:36:36] you in between the shadows moving around
[02:36:39] in the distance.
[02:36:42] But you are ready to traverse the
[02:36:44] Twilight Forest once again. As you are
[02:36:46] all
[02:36:48] um coming down from your rest, we will
[02:36:51] take a quick 5m minute break.
[02:36:59] A long rest finally. And there goes
[02:37:02] nothing happened.
[02:37:04] Nothing happened. I thought we were
[02:37:06] going to die.
[02:37:08] I also thought appeared. I was going to
[02:37:10] say that the sun was not sunning and
[02:37:12] then
[02:37:14] was not
[02:37:16] honestly could say that could.
[02:37:18] Yeah, exactly.
[02:37:20] Okay, VIP.

[02:37:26] Thanks.
[02:37:29] I'm seeing all of these cute
[02:39:57] No one's here.
[02:39:59] Everyone gone.
[02:40:11] Huh?
[02:40:12] Lance's wife is dead
[02:40:16] and his son is missing and he all he
[02:40:20] cares about is the Oh my god, you're
[02:40:22] ano.
[02:40:24] You're a very political father.
[02:40:26] Air. It's air. [clears throat]
[02:40:28] Air.
[02:40:31] [laughter]
[02:40:38] Same thing.
[02:40:41] And then Sally has a brother with no
[02:40:44] mention of her parents.
[02:40:49] The fact as soon as my next about lore
[02:40:52] character like Okay, wait. Let me write
[02:40:54] it down. Hold up. Let me write.
[02:40:58] I had to write everything while we were
[02:41:00] even speaking.
[02:41:02] Oh yeah. By the way, I'm I'm I'm like
[02:41:04] this. Not because I'm hiding. I'm acting
[02:41:06] like Tess. I'm very small.
[02:41:13] We figured
[02:41:14] forehead cam.
[02:41:15] Not even forehead cam. It's just it's
[02:41:17] just hair.
[02:41:22] By the way, what music are you guys
[02:41:24] playing? I'm playing this same.
[02:41:27] Yeah. Yeah. The same thing from earlier.
[02:41:29] I am also playing from earlier.
[02:41:32] The same wavelength.
[02:41:36] Same wavelength. I I see two owl bears
[02:41:39] coming at us.
[02:41:42] My goodness.
[02:41:44] We still need to get you untthered, son.
[02:41:46] Yes, I know.
[02:41:48] We have to fight that also.
[02:41:51] We have to. Yeah,
[02:41:53] we can fight each other again. That was
[02:41:54] fun.
[02:41:55] Shut the [ __ ] up.
[02:41:57] Are we back? Are we back? Are we doing
[02:41:59] things?
[02:42:01] I am here.
[02:42:02] Are you here?
[02:42:03] Wait for Wait for
[02:42:04] Okay, we wait for there.
[02:42:05] He's there. He's there. She's just cho
[02:42:08] um baiting.
[02:42:13] I think Pepper's coming in.
[02:42:16] I love how every interaction namin
[02:42:20] Sheamus and Poppy were very perverted.
[02:42:25] Huh?
[02:42:27] I think it's I think it's you.
[02:42:30] It's just me. Ah, my man.
[02:42:33] It's you. You're the problem.
[02:42:37] Pepper and you can tell him to uh he can
[02:42:39] just answer whenever.
[02:42:41] Yeah, I already told him. We can
[02:42:42] continue.
[02:42:45] Okay,
[02:42:47] getting back into it. Um the five of you
[02:42:50] have finished your first long rest of
[02:42:52] the campaign. You've survived your
[02:42:54] peaceful long night's watch. Um nothing
[02:42:59] um of occurrence has transpired. you are
[02:43:03] all well back into your um uh full
[02:43:08] potentials for to [music] face your
[02:43:11] endeavors ahead [snorts] except you only
[02:43:14] do recover half of your head dice uh as
[02:43:18] clarified in the chat.
[02:43:22] So
[02:43:24] the five of you stand in the twilight
[02:43:26] forest in the ambit of night. Where
[02:43:28] would you like to go?
[02:43:32] Okay, guys. I'm going to say it for now.
[02:43:35] This is very different from where I last
[02:43:38] was. So,
[02:43:42] okay, you lied.
[02:43:45] It said it was very similar
[02:43:49] and you guys decided to follow me.
[02:43:53] So,
[02:43:55] I want to cast magic awareness like do I
[02:43:58] sense anything from any direction?
[02:44:02] as you're walking. Um, this this part of
[02:44:06] the FA Wild, uh, at least
[02:44:10] in a way, you kind of got lucky with the
[02:44:12] first two arches. The first one, it took
[02:44:14] you directly in an outdoor courtyard,
[02:44:16] the mouth of a cave, which led you into
[02:44:19] a cavern. Um, there wasn't too much
[02:44:21] trekking there. Uh, especially for the
[02:44:25] second arch, it just took you to a
[02:44:27] sunlet forest. uh you know at the brink
[02:44:31] of sunset and you were immediately or
[02:44:35] very soon found by Aloft who took you
[02:44:38] into his hobvel. [music]
[02:44:40] This one though it feels the third arch
[02:44:43] feels more expansive as
[02:44:46] it it feels like a proper wilderness.
[02:44:49] You've basically been walking around for
[02:44:52] for 2 hours just keeping your magical
[02:44:54] awareness up and just like [music]
[02:44:56] aimlessly wandering about following the
[02:44:59] fireflies. And once again, it creeps up
[02:45:01] on you that
[02:45:03] the fireflies may not actually be
[02:45:05] leading you anywhere. Um, you could just
[02:45:07] be walking around in circles. Um, but
[02:45:11] even that you get the
[02:45:14] uh you get the sense that that's how the
[02:45:16] Twilight Forest works. It misleads you.
[02:45:19] It misdirects you. Um, it's the general
[02:45:23] lay of the land where you are. It makes
[02:45:26] you doubt the path up ahead.
[02:45:30] You find comfort in the fireflies
[02:45:32] lighting the way.
[02:45:35] Do you keep following them?
[02:45:38] Does that think that we should follow
[02:45:40] the fireflies?
[02:45:42] Well, where do you suggest we go?
[02:45:44] Aside from
[02:45:45] we find our own way.
[02:45:47] Aside from
[02:45:49] like our own tracks, do we see anything
[02:45:53] else when we scan the the ground and the
[02:45:56] surroundings? Do we see animal tracks
[02:45:58] that may come from an owl bear or a
[02:46:01] moonfall? Something like that.
[02:46:03] [laughter]
[02:46:04] [clears throat] We survival check for
[02:46:07] Alrich for everyone since we're all
[02:46:18] Oh, I got a I got a good one. I got a 17
[02:46:20] total.
[02:46:21] 16 total.
[02:46:24] 17 for me as well.
[02:46:25] 14 22. [clears throat]
[02:46:27] We We all got pretty high except the
[02:46:29] shame got 22.
[02:46:35] Okay. Um, you all collectively after
[02:46:39] about two hours of traversing through
[02:46:42] the Twilight [clears throat]
[02:46:43] Forest, you finally make the collective
[02:46:46] decision to [music]
[02:46:47] instead of just like walking and
[02:46:49] wandering around aimlessly to make the
[02:46:52] decision to actually look for um tracks
[02:46:56] of any other signs of life uh that may
[02:46:59] be surrounding you. And it speeds up um
[02:47:02] your like you finally latch onto a lead
[02:47:06] and you don't feel as lost as before as
[02:47:09] you start seeing um breakages in the
[02:47:12] bushes and tracks [music] or crevices on
[02:47:15] the ground and
[02:47:18] you you you start seeing signs of life
[02:47:21] that have went ahead before you. Um
[02:47:26] and it aids your search as OD. You find
[02:47:30] tracks belonging
[02:47:33] to a deer
[02:47:35] leading deeper into the forest. And as
[02:47:38] you [music] follow it,
[02:47:41] you your magical awareness [music] pulls
[02:47:44] you forward.
[02:47:46] And once again, the moon from up above
[02:47:51] is overshadowed by a passing cloud. it
[02:47:55] silver light veiled beneath the shade of
[02:47:59] the sky as before you.
[02:48:02] The moonlight almost descends
[02:48:05] borrowed from the sky.
[02:48:09] It [music] engulfves
[02:48:11] the figure a silhouette
[02:48:14] of a woman in the middle of a glade.
[02:48:18] Oh my god.
[02:48:20] You hit a woman, Zary. What the [ __ ]
[02:48:22] Can I see
[02:48:26] moonlit skin fay with antlers resembling
[02:48:30] of the moon phone you had been chasing
[02:48:32] the one that had brought you here in the
[02:48:34] first place
[02:48:35] with an arrow sticking out of her thigh
[02:48:38] as she's weeping in the grass.
[02:48:43] Her tears roll like pearls down her
[02:48:46] cheek.
[02:48:47] What do you do,
[02:48:50] Jeff? When you make sound effects, can
[02:48:52] you do it closer to the mic cuz you
[02:48:54] can't hear it? [laughter]
[02:48:57] Noted. Noted.
[02:48:59] Guys, I think that's the same one I
[02:49:02] hunted last time.
[02:49:05] That does not look like a fun.
[02:49:08] Yeah, that looks kind of a woman.
[02:49:11] That's a woman.
[02:49:12] Antlers.
[02:49:13] We're in the very wild and antlers look
[02:49:15] very familiar.
[02:49:17] But that's still a woman.
[02:49:17] And I think that's my arrow.
[02:49:20] You keep you keep count of your arrows.
[02:49:23] God damn.
[02:49:25] You recognize the specific uh make and
[02:49:30] uh
[02:49:32] style of the arrows. Basically, the one
[02:49:33] that were given to you upon
[02:49:36] Yeah. by your employer when they, you
[02:49:40] know, when you got hired to hunt down
[02:49:41] the moon fawn based on your in the
[02:49:44] information they gave you. It's because
[02:49:45] the moon fun when it shows up near a
[02:49:48] village, it brings bad luck with it.
[02:49:52] Wait, sorry, puppy. [laughter]
[02:49:55] Based on what your employers had told
[02:49:57] you, the moon fawn when it shows up
[02:50:00] nearby a village, it brings bad luck
[02:50:03] with it.
[02:50:05] That's why you were that's what you were
[02:50:07] told to why you're hunting down the
[02:50:09] moon.
[02:50:11] You didn't.
[02:50:15] Well, so big lady, what should we do?
[02:50:22] Okay. Wait,
[02:50:24] I don't remember that detail. Okay. So,
[02:50:27] putting it up there.
[02:50:29] No, you didn't. You just said here's a
[02:50:31] bow. Go hunt it. Yeah, it's in it's in
[02:50:35] the it's in the Trello. You didn't
[02:50:37] mention about Da.
[02:50:38] Yeah.
[02:50:39] So, I'm like
[02:50:40] that that's basically the reason why
[02:50:41] you've been hunting the boat. Uh you
[02:50:43] were hired.
[02:50:44] Okay, that makes more sense.
[02:50:46] Okay.
[02:50:47] I thought she was just, you know, she
[02:50:48] she wasn't given the full information
[02:50:50] and then she followed.
[02:50:53] Very obedient.
[02:50:58] What do you think?
[02:51:01] Well,
[02:51:07] I remember
[02:51:09] my employer saying that
[02:51:14] I should be hunting the moon fawn. But
[02:51:18] wasn't there
[02:51:20] uh
[02:51:22] a story about them being bad luck near
[02:51:24] villages?
[02:51:26] Maybe maybe that's why they were.
[02:51:31] But Tess does not see villages here. So
[02:51:34] I think we're good.
[02:51:37] Well, maybe we could just help her out
[02:51:39] and then
[02:51:40] Yeah, let's help her.
[02:51:41] Adise her to
[02:51:43] advise her to like
[02:51:45] get close to the villages cuz
[02:51:47] it seems like those would be dangerous
[02:51:49] for her.
[02:51:52] That is true. And I really want to help
[02:51:54] her probably if somebody has a sal or
[02:51:58] maybe heal her. That would be very nice.
[02:52:01] Oh, yeah. By the way, uh, Mr. DM, can I
[02:52:04] roll for my elixir? My free elixir every
[02:52:08] day.
[02:52:09] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:52:13] That's a That's a two. What does that
[02:52:16] give me?
[02:52:19] Oh, that sucks. Anyways,
[02:52:23] continue.
[02:52:24] Okay.
[02:52:26] I don't think I can go near her because
[02:52:28] I think she'll be scared.
[02:52:31] Maybe you Mr. Cleric are you familiar
[02:52:34] with how
[02:52:35] she says that Tessic goes
[02:52:38] runs to hell.
[02:52:39] Jesus Christ man.
[02:52:40] Jesus Christ.
[02:52:43] At some point you got to stop trolling
[02:52:45] so people can progress to their own
[02:52:47] storyline.
[02:52:51] Uh okay. What do you guys do?
[02:52:53] Oh, Tessic runs forward.
[02:52:55] Oh my god.
[02:52:57] Okay. As Teszic, you run forward. You
[02:53:01] [music] hear heavy footsteps striking
[02:53:03] the grass.
[02:53:07] Oh no.
[02:53:08] Unexpectedly you hear a voice reveal
[02:53:12] itself from the darkness. You say, "You,
[02:53:15] what are your intentions? I will not let
[02:53:17] you nearer."
[02:53:19] Oh. as a man covered in feathers
[02:53:25] um caped and bowered by by by veins
[02:53:29] downy veins running down his back.
[02:53:32] [music] Though his bottom half is uh
[02:53:36] covered in fur like uh grayish brown fur
[02:53:41] running down his legs and talons
[02:53:44] sticking out of his arms. You you he
[02:53:47] looks down at you. Who are you,
[02:53:50] traveler? We do not need any more danger
[02:53:53] here. But I will have your head if you
[02:53:56] do not mean any uh any reprieve for us.
[02:54:03] Leave her alone. She's already suffered
[02:54:06] enough in the hands of of of men and
[02:54:10] their greed.
[02:54:13] Tess does not mean any harm. You can
[02:54:16] have this potion. If if she takes for
[02:54:20] harm, you can harm Tess.
[02:54:23] I give her a health potion.
[02:54:25] Give me a persuasion check.
[02:54:27] Okay.
[02:54:30] Um the rest of you, uh you're not yet
[02:54:33] revealed. You're at the tree line still
[02:54:36] in the shadows.
[02:54:38] You can tell me what you do or you can
[02:54:41] role play amongst yourselves. But person
[02:54:43] who's in confirmed
[02:54:44] testing
[02:54:46] Mr.
[02:54:47] is are we should we let him do this or
[02:54:51] I mean he's he he's already he's already
[02:54:54] there
[02:54:56] I'm going to write on my journal about
[02:54:58] the the the
[02:55:01] wi women with antl
[02:55:07] with 17 the feathered um humanoid male
[02:55:12] stares down a tazac
[02:55:15] and he accepts the elixir. He says,
[02:55:21] "Very well. If this does not help her, I
[02:55:26] will have your head."
[02:55:27] Oh, yes. And that comes from that big
[02:55:29] lady over there. Then I point to
[02:55:31] Oh my god.
[02:55:31] Oh my god.
[02:55:33] One out.
[02:55:35] He He recoils back and his feathers puff
[02:55:39] out of his body. You see his wings
[02:55:42] extend. [snorts]
[02:55:44] you. Who are you? Step into the light.
[02:55:50] I think it's best you guys go first.
[02:55:54] [clears throat]
[02:55:54] I go out and just try to reassure like
[02:55:58] uh it's okay, mister. Uh we're not here
[02:56:01] to harm you. We're just here because
[02:56:04] we're out of concern for [music]
[02:56:06] this lady right here with an arrow
[02:56:08] sticking out of her thigh.
[02:56:11] Oh, I tug at Od's arms and I say, "Hey,
[02:56:16] Odie, she's I think he's he's trying to
[02:56:19] look at you and call you.
[02:56:23] Maybe you should come and say hello."
[02:56:27] Well, Miss Miss Poppy, um,
[02:56:31] maybe it's not best to reveal me
[02:56:33] immediately.
[02:56:35] Why not? He has a similar he feels
[02:56:38] familiar
[02:56:40] like a
[02:56:41] Oh, as steps forward, the the man looks
[02:56:45] at her and says, "You
[02:56:48] I know you. This arrow is yours.
[02:56:53] Why have you come to inflict more
[02:56:55] suffering? You humans." He crushes the
[02:56:59] health potion in his hand.
[02:57:04] Sir,
[02:57:04] what are you I mean, I put down like my
[02:57:08] bag where my weapons are sir. I mean, no
[02:57:12] harm. I don't want to cause any further
[02:57:15] trouble. Actually, I want
[02:57:17] no harm. This arrow is yours. He points
[02:57:21] to the one impaling the fawn's legs.
[02:57:24] Aramus, no. No, I will protect you.
[02:57:28] Albear name is Aramis.
[02:57:31] [laughter]
[02:57:31] How do you spell that?
[02:57:33] Like E. Anyway,
[02:57:38] I had no clue. I was just told that
[02:57:44] I should be
[02:57:48] I'm looking for a word. Hold on. Uh,
[02:57:52] you were just instructed.
[02:57:53] I was instructed.
[02:57:56] Let me guess. They were going to pay you
[02:57:59] a hefty price to bring back the fleece
[02:58:03] of my love.
[02:58:05] Isn't that it?
[02:58:07] No sir.
[02:58:08] You humans,
[02:58:10] your greed for silver and gold. You see
[02:58:13] it in everything in the very stones you
[02:58:16] mine and the very hair that covers our
[02:58:19] skin.
[02:58:21] Sir, we as Miss Odie has said, we we are
[02:58:24] not we do not intend to cause further
[02:58:26] harm to you nor the lady that is injured
[02:58:31] behind. Um we'd be more than happy to
[02:58:33] make make amends to the situation. Mr.
[02:58:36] Sheamus over here, a friendly elf with
[02:58:39] the golden hair, he's he's a cleric.
[02:58:41] He's more than capable to I'm turning
[02:58:43] British. [laughter] He's he he's uh he's
[02:58:48] capable and he'd be able to help out
[02:58:52] your lady and heal her wounds if you
[02:58:54] would be so inclined to let us assist.
[02:58:57] But again, we mean no harm.
[02:59:01] Yes, that is true.
[02:59:02] Persuasion type from OD. But with the
[02:59:05] assist of Alrich, I'll give you
[02:59:06] advantage.
[02:59:07] Yes, that's exactly what I was hoping
[02:59:09] for.
[02:59:09] Wait, what am I rolling for? Sorry, sir.
[02:59:11] Persuasion.
[02:59:12] Persuasion.
[02:59:17] That's a 16.
[02:59:19] Godless.
[02:59:20] A 16.
[02:59:22] Yeah.
[02:59:24] Okay. Uh, you see the man Aramus, the
[02:59:27] this personification of an owl bear. And
[02:59:30] of course, you've already gleaned that
[02:59:32] in the fa wild animals are not what they
[02:59:35] seem. [music] They don't seem like
[02:59:37] animals entirely at all. Even Aramus
[02:59:41] stands down his kind bare like fur hide.
[02:59:47] He bucksed beneath uh he bucks beneath
[02:59:50] the weight of his towering wings, but
[02:59:52] then he
[02:59:54] he kind of recedes back at the offer of
[02:59:59] uh healing from a cleric.
[03:00:03] And he says, "Fine, but only your cleric
[03:00:06] approaches.
[03:00:09] Uh thank you Mr. uh Arabus if I'm not
[03:00:13] mistaken. I I approach
[03:00:17] slowly towards the moon the lady moon
[03:00:20] and kneel down like
[03:00:23] hello miss uh are you okay? Would you be
[03:00:27] to let me kill you?
[03:00:32] It is one thing to be perceived as a
[03:00:35] misfortune, a vessel, an omen, but
[03:00:40] another to be struck down by it. I was
[03:00:45] hungry,
[03:00:47] innocently grazing on the grass,
[03:00:50] and I had been cruy
[03:00:54] maimed for the very sin of surviving.
[03:00:58] Please, if you can help
[03:01:02] and then I will.
[03:01:06] Sorry. Wait.
[03:01:10] Okay. I just hover my hands on the area
[03:01:14] where the lady
[03:01:17] has an arrow sticking out and I just
[03:01:20] pray to the god of ill matter and I cast
[03:01:23] cure wounds on her. I just
[03:01:27] and then
[03:01:29] Cure wounds, please. Roll to healing.
[03:01:30] Uh, yes.
[03:01:32] Row to heal one.
[03:01:36] That's an eight plus
[03:01:39] 14.
[03:01:42] Okay. Before that is applied, give me a
[03:01:43] medicine check.
[03:01:45] Okay.
[03:01:48] What is my medicine?
[03:01:50] Might want to pull that arrow out first.
[03:01:52] You know what I'm saying?
[03:01:54] All right. No, I got this. I got this.
[03:01:57] Apply pressure. Apply pressure,
[03:02:01] Mr. Cleric.
[03:02:03] Okay. 13 + 5, that is 18.
[03:02:07] Okay. Um, you've seen this before. As a
[03:02:11] cleric of Il Matter, you often um you
[03:02:14] often offer aid to [music] passing
[03:02:16] travelers, wounded or otherwise.
[03:02:20] Sometimes your baron even functions as
[03:02:23] an infirmary or passing uh adventurers
[03:02:28] that have been injured along their
[03:02:31] travels. So you have in a sense
[03:02:35] uh
[03:02:36] experience of being a medic out in the
[03:02:39] outfield. So you you break the arrow
[03:02:42] first, remove the fletchling and it is
[03:02:45] impaling her her thigh. So you just um
[03:02:50] you you warn her first and foremost as
[03:02:52] you administer the first aid, you warn
[03:02:54] her that it will hurt. But then with
[03:02:57] deaf hands [music] and gentle blessed by
[03:03:00] your god of suffering and endurance, you
[03:03:04] you pull the arrow in the blink of an
[03:03:06] eye. She winces. But next thing she
[03:03:10] knows, her leg is no longer impaled. And
[03:03:12] before the pain can take hold and settle
[03:03:16] and
[03:03:18] and bolster her fear, you deliver
[03:03:21] healing. As the faint light
[03:03:25] glows from your hand and
[03:03:29] mingles with the silver light of her
[03:03:32] skin, the wound that OD had inflicted
[03:03:35] closes.
[03:03:38] Are you um at that point?
[03:03:41] Um, once the wound is healed, the Fawn
[03:03:45] does look now at Odi and she says, "Why?
[03:03:53] Why?
[03:03:55] I was just looking for food. Uh, you
[03:03:58] know that the others have told you this
[03:04:00] sensation that had freed them from the
[03:04:02] fa wild. You are still tethered."
[03:04:07] Well, Miss Moon,
[03:04:09] it was well It was not.
[03:04:16] I'll admit I was
[03:04:19] instructed
[03:04:21] under the pretense that I
[03:04:24] was supposed to hurt you. But looking
[03:04:27] back now, it was more of the fear of
[03:04:31] humans that
[03:04:33] when you're near their villages and
[03:04:35] their towns that
[03:04:38] bad luck strikes upon them, or so they
[03:04:40] believe.
[03:04:43] So, I was tasked by my patron to hunt
[03:04:47] you down,
[03:04:50] and I'm deeply sorry,
[03:04:53] okay? Uh Sheamus, you know that that is
[03:04:56] not true. You've never heard of a Moon
[03:04:59] Fawn being uh an elf noble from where
[03:05:03] you are from. I haven't I'm not going to
[03:05:05] reveal yet, but being from where you are
[03:05:08] from, you've never heard of Moon Fawn um
[03:05:12] being
[03:05:13] bad luck. Um at this she kind of her
[03:05:18] expression kind of softens though Odie
[03:05:20] especially when you says sharing the
[03:05:22] fear of humans. She looks at you and her
[03:05:25] expression softens.
[03:05:27] Her silver light hair and her moonlet
[03:05:30] touched skin kind of glow glows a bit
[03:05:32] brighter and as you apologize
[03:05:36] um the hesitation
[03:05:39] kind of [music] petrifies in her eyes.
[03:05:41] Give me a persuasion check. [ __ ]
[03:05:51] That's a six.
[03:05:53] Oh my god.
[03:05:55] I don't know if I can forgive you.
[03:05:58] My My kind have often been so haunted in
[03:06:02] the same manner, struck down by your
[03:06:05] spears and your arrows for the very deed
[03:06:09] of eating ourselves.
[03:06:12] How can I ignore this blood feud you
[03:06:15] have against us? You have haunted my
[03:06:18] kind to near extinction.
[03:06:26] Miss, if it's okay. I don't think Miss
[03:06:31] OD here has well knows
[03:06:35] that your kind has been well hunted
[03:06:38] down. I think she was contracted with a
[03:06:41] false pretense that she didn't know of
[03:06:44] what of what value you bring with you
[03:06:47] and that she was deceived
[03:06:52] because she said that you bring bad luck
[03:06:56] to the town's people you you go near to.
[03:07:00] But I know for a fact that's not true.
[03:07:04] Maybe she was just well
[03:07:08] doing what she was told to.
[03:07:11] So please uh if you find it in your
[03:07:13] heart, please forgive her. If there's
[03:07:15] anything we can do to help, anything at
[03:07:17] all, please.
[03:07:21] Um I I stepped in and said that it is
[03:07:25] true, Miss Moon. I've been with with
[03:07:28] Odi, this tall girl, for like since this
[03:07:33] morning and she will not it's not a very
[03:07:37] long time. That is true. But with the
[03:07:40] time that we have been together, I've
[03:07:43] I've never seen her do something bad to
[03:07:47] other people other than when she was,
[03:07:50] you know, uh some sort of mind control.
[03:07:54] But it was never due to her own own uh
[03:07:59] own mind.
[03:08:00] Intention
[03:08:02] intention is what I I wanted to mean. Uh
[03:08:05] forgive me, I'm not very good with this
[03:08:07] kind of things, but I know in my heart
[03:08:09] that she's not someone that means to
[03:08:12] harm people. She she has a very gentle
[03:08:16] heart from what I've seen uh with the
[03:08:19] her interaction with a a bunny rabbit.
[03:08:22] Could you believe it's just a small tiny
[03:08:24] rabbit but uh she gave her most precious
[03:08:28] thing to her? Um I know you must have
[03:08:31] been hurt by this mention precious uh
[03:08:35] item that she had been willing to part
[03:08:37] with the moon the fawn's expression she
[03:08:39] kind of exchanges glances with Aramos
[03:08:42] and she says but but forgiveness begets
[03:08:47] something of equal value.
[03:08:50] if you have nothing more to give. She
[03:08:52] looks at Odi and then she directs her
[03:08:54] attention to uh Poppy and Sheamus who
[03:08:59] are addressing her on Od's behalf. He
[03:09:02] says, "Then I will take something of
[03:09:05] yours.
[03:09:07] I will accept it [music] as recompense."
[03:09:11] Very well.
[03:09:13] If you vouch for your ally, then make it
[03:09:17] true.
[03:09:18] Very well. settle the bat.
[03:09:21] I take off my locket containing the
[03:09:23] picture of the wife and child
[03:09:29] and I hand it to her like
[03:09:32] Are you sure? Are you sure?
[03:09:38] Someone very important to you. That
[03:09:40] thing is very important to you.
[03:09:42] It's fine.
[03:09:44] I know my son is out there somewhere.
[03:09:48] And I know that my wife won't forgive me
[03:09:51] if well I don't help out another person
[03:09:55] with a helping hand. It's the least I
[03:09:58] could do after what she did. Well, but
[03:10:01] the bunnies that we met, it's the least
[03:10:04] that I could do for her.
[03:10:06] Is the uh like with them?
[03:10:11] should be
[03:10:12] what
[03:10:14] is like tessk like talking to the moon
[03:10:17] as well like right next to Sheamus or is
[03:10:20] he still with Albear?
[03:10:24] H you're all in the same clearing
[03:10:27] and can I stop?
[03:10:29] You're kind of like that scene from
[03:10:30] Twilight when the Cullins are blocking
[03:10:33] Bella. That's what you're doing
[03:10:35] [laughter] blocking.
[03:10:40] Oh my god.
[03:10:41] I just imagined that scenario in my
[03:10:43] head. Oh my god.
[03:10:44] Wait, so I'm blocked and I can't go near
[03:10:47] uh
[03:10:48] Yeah, you can.
[03:10:49] Okay, then then I step in then uh in a
[03:10:54] more serious manner. Tekk knows how it
[03:10:57] feels to forget something, especially
[03:11:00] when you don't have a remembrance of
[03:11:01] them. I take out the
[03:11:04] iron weight
[03:11:06] under my staff and then you should give
[03:11:09] it to then you should give this instead.
[03:11:12] It was of my masters. It was the last
[03:11:15] remembrance of him. I don't remember his
[03:11:17] name. So I hope he forgives me. But
[03:11:20] he said
[03:11:23] to you to decide whether what you give
[03:11:25] up your locket or Tessic is offering
[03:11:28] their item. It's up to you. Um, you
[03:11:33] uh the moon the the fawn named you are
[03:11:35] bitter of this decision. You're the one
[03:11:37] who's going to settle it.
[03:11:40] It's only right that I give up something
[03:11:42] of my own after OD give up something of
[03:11:44] hers to give well to help me out and I
[03:11:49] take off my locket and just
[03:11:50] give it to her like this. Like will this
[03:11:53] suffice?
[03:11:54] You actually have a you actually have a
[03:11:56] locket. No,
[03:11:58] I gave that to him.
[03:12:01] Okay. Yeah. Um, returning the favor of
[03:12:04] OD leaving behind her mother's glasses
[03:12:08] to
[03:12:10] uh to Enid the rabbit.
[03:12:13] You now repay her kindness by leaving
[03:12:16] your locket behind to set her free. And
[03:12:18] the moment your locket touches the palm
[03:12:21] of the phone,
[03:12:25] Odie, you feel the thread behind your uh
[03:12:28] on the back of your head.
[03:12:30] sever you are free. The fawn's uh live
[03:12:35] fingers closes around the locket and
[03:12:37] says the debt is paid. Thank you.
[03:12:42] Thank you.
[03:12:42] I do not hold bad blood against you.
[03:12:45] [music] Um she scans uh the five of you
[03:12:48] and her eyes land on OD.
[03:12:51] I only fear the great suffering that
[03:12:55] your kind may cause. All of what is when
[03:13:01] the time comes.
[03:13:04] Choose your side wisely. I do not wish
[03:13:09] to see you on the opposite side of this
[03:13:12] quarrel of this feud any longer.
[03:13:16] At this point, Aramos steps uh in front
[03:13:20] of her and says, "Come.
[03:13:23] They will maul over this parting
[03:13:27] a long time until they begin to [music]
[03:13:30] understand.
[03:13:32] He scoops up the fawn in his arms and
[03:13:34] his wings spread out in flight and he
[03:13:38] says behind you, "But heed our words.
[03:13:43] We are not your enemy.
[03:13:46] None of us, no matter how it may seem,
[03:13:50] the path ahead,
[03:13:53] we just want to pee. We just want to be
[03:13:56] left alone.
[03:13:59] If you wish to look for darkness,
[03:14:02] look to your own ranks.
[03:14:06] His wings carry them off as the powerful
[03:14:10] gales sweep through the clearing.
[03:14:12] [music]
[03:14:13] And you see, you watch as Edmus carries,
[03:14:17] still amazed on in his arms, but no
[03:14:20] longer wounded, unable to walk, still
[03:14:23] though, uh, he carries her off past the
[03:14:26] tree line and disappears into view. All
[03:14:30] of you are now unbound.
[03:14:34] Well,
[03:14:37] thank you so much for that, James.
[03:14:40] It's
[03:14:42] that I can do.
[03:14:43] That was beautiful. Mr.
[03:14:44] Sheamus,
[03:14:47] Sheamus, as you watch the owl bear uh
[03:14:52] personified and the fawn depart, now
[03:14:56] your chest feels hollow without the
[03:14:59] weight hanging upon it. You start to
[03:15:02] forget what your son looks like. Oh.
[03:15:05] Oh [ __ ]
[03:15:10] Well,
[03:15:13] I just hope maybe [music] one day
[03:15:18] I know I can't bear with that precious
[03:15:22] locket,
[03:15:24] but honestly, I can't bear it. I can't
[03:15:26] bear more the thought of being unable to
[03:15:29] help us anyone
[03:15:32] who is in.
[03:15:35] It's
[03:15:35] very nice.
[03:15:38] Thank you very much.
[03:15:42] Now the five of you.
[03:15:44] Okay, keep going.
[03:15:45] Sorry. We will we will try to find your
[03:15:48] son Samos. Maybe look out for him in the
[03:15:51] locket that you mentioned.
[03:15:55] Thank you very much, Miss Poppy.
[03:15:56] As Poppy says this, you're like, "Wait,
[03:15:59] my son. You have blonde hair like me or
[03:16:02] dark hair? You can't remember." Okay,
[03:16:08] I will say you said dark hair last
[03:16:11] night. Maybe Tess is affect is
[03:16:15] contagious and you're trying you're
[03:16:18] forgetting things as well.
[03:16:20] You described your son to the two crazy
[03:16:22] people in the party.
[03:16:25] [laughter]
[03:16:26] One has amnesia, the other one has five
[03:16:29] intelligence.
[03:16:30] [laughter]
[03:16:32] Oh my gosh. actually um I just hope that
[03:16:37] well wherever may he be or I I
[03:16:43] it's
[03:16:45] okay.
[03:16:47] Sorry. Um honestly, I'm even beginning
[03:16:51] to forget
[03:16:54] this specific dark hair you said. Well,
[03:16:58] yes, dark hair. It's okay. I actually
[03:17:00] wrote it in my journal to remember if
[03:17:04] ever I see him walking by the river or
[03:17:07] go buying pastries in town drinking ale.
[03:17:11] I know he has black hair, brown eyes,
[03:17:14] and has a locket with a with a red gem.
[03:17:17] You didn't confirm if it was ruby, but
[03:17:20] uh it's red. And there's like a a symbol
[03:17:24] of your god at the back of the locket.
[03:17:27] Don't worry, I have it in my journal.
[03:17:29] You see it's here.
[03:17:32] Well, I just look at the pigeon and be
[03:17:34] [music] like, "Well, um, thank you."
[03:17:37] Even though I can't I can't read it, but
[03:17:40] I'm sure it's really
[03:17:42] uh a kind thing for you to do.
[03:17:46] Don't worry, Mr. Sheamus. We'll find him
[03:17:48] eventually. But first, we have to get
[03:17:50] out of here now.
[03:17:52] Yeah.
[03:17:52] All right. As OD mentions this, you are
[03:17:55] now in a place where the five of you are
[03:17:57] untethered from the fa wild. You feel
[03:18:00] this liberating
[03:18:02] um sensation
[03:18:04] um that previously you've been weighing
[03:18:07] down upon uh the rest of you. You now
[03:18:12] feel no attachment to this place as if
[03:18:14] it had given you now permission. Believe
[03:18:17] it. The question is how you are in the
[03:18:21] clearing. Where would you like to go?
[03:18:26] Miss,
[03:18:27] did you mention that those fireflies?
[03:18:29] Uh,
[03:18:33] there's there was something earlier
[03:18:34] about the fireflies that they gather in
[03:18:36] specific spots. Something like that.
[03:18:40] Yes, but it wasn't Poppy. It was OD who
[03:18:45] Oh, yeah. Sorry. OD. Yes. Sorry. Sorry.
[03:18:48] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like they do
[03:18:51] gather around in certain spots.
[03:18:54] But what can we do with that? It seems
[03:18:57] they seem to be leading us anywhere and
[03:18:59] everywhere, I guess.
[03:19:01] Well, it's a possibility that they were
[03:19:04] leading us astray because one of us is
[03:19:06] still tethered.
[03:19:10] H
[03:19:11] Do you think now that we're untethered?
[03:19:14] I don't know. Maybe they'll help us
[03:19:16] instead.
[03:19:17] Well, we can most likely try.
[03:19:20] Can certainly give it a try. Considering
[03:19:22] that
[03:19:23] um from everybody here's story uh we all
[03:19:27] came in here from different weight,
[03:19:31] not exactly similar patterns. So maybe
[03:19:35] these fireflies are gathering around
[03:19:37] entrances and exits. Maybe we could look
[03:19:41] around and see what we find out.
[03:19:44] a threatening America.
[03:19:48] As the five of you continue and carry on
[03:19:52] trekking through the forest,
[03:19:54] this time you're following the
[03:19:56] fireflies, correct?
[03:19:59] Yes.
[03:19:59] Yes.
[03:20:01] Okay. Um, everyone give me a survival
[03:20:03] check.
[03:20:09] 21.
[03:20:10] I got an 18.
[03:20:13] Nice. Okay.
[03:20:14] Um 19.
[03:20:17] I got a natural one.
[03:20:22] Oofy.
[03:20:25] Does it get a 16?
[03:20:28] Okay. Um aggregate roll. That's fine. Uh
[03:20:32] you kind of lag behind. uh Alri as
[03:20:35] something distracts you actually
[03:20:38] something distracts you you keep
[03:20:40] fidgeting with a coat you have on and
[03:20:43] you feel something deep in the you
[03:20:45] hadn't noticed before and you fish it
[03:20:48] out and you see some you see
[03:20:51] uh what looks to be an iron seal. It's
[03:20:54] like it's flat and with engravings on
[03:20:58] it.
[03:21:01] Uh, you are not from so you wouldn't
[03:21:05] know exactly what it would be for.
[03:21:08] I just tuck it back into the code pocket
[03:21:10] without telling anybody.
[03:21:14] As you tuck it back in, you realize the
[03:21:16] group is now making a beline towards um
[03:21:20] a more concentrated part of that
[03:21:23] procession. [music]
[03:21:25] As more of them begin to gather and
[03:21:27] almost converge at a part uh at another
[03:21:31] clearing [music] uh or glathe or
[03:21:35] uh in the middle of the forest as the
[03:21:37] trees the tree line widens up into a
[03:21:40] meadow and you see the fireflies now
[03:21:44] forming a coherent um a coherent
[03:21:49] gathering in the meadow. Perhaps it's
[03:21:51] because Sheamus was right. you have
[03:21:54] untethered yourself to the fail so you
[03:21:56] you can see better where the fireflies
[03:21:58] are taking you. Or perhaps it's a
[03:22:00] coincidence that you have now just
[03:22:02] ventured deeper into the woods and have
[03:22:04] finally made sense of the coherence of
[03:22:06] their paths. But nevertheless, in front
[03:22:09] of you, you see a meadow with five
[03:22:12] statues in the middle.
[03:22:13] Oh Jesus.
[03:22:18] It's another puzzle. Is it? It's another
[03:22:23] Can they use magic awareness?
[03:22:26] Yeah, you use magic awareness and you
[03:22:29] kind of circle the five statues keeping
[03:22:32] your distance away from them. And the
[03:22:34] statues are hooded. They are cloaked by
[03:22:38] of course stone, but the way they're
[03:22:39] sculpted is you can't really see their
[03:22:41] face or the these are ancient statues,
[03:22:45] old old statues forming a ring. Um,
[03:22:49] did you say five
[03:22:50] in a circle?
[03:22:52] Five. Yes. And two of them are small.
[03:22:55] Three of them are
[03:22:56] I knew it. I knew it. Oh my god.
[03:23:00] Oh my god.
[03:23:01] Oh, I was about to ask. Are two of them
[03:23:03] small?
[03:23:05] Oh, while while OD is looking at them.
[03:23:08] Huh?
[03:23:10] These two look like our little guy.
[03:23:13] I agree. M
[03:23:14] puppy, are you are can you come here?
[03:23:16] And then like I I make her stand next to
[03:23:18] one like
[03:23:20] and then look like
[03:23:22] Yeah.
[03:23:24] Nothing happens. Nothing happens.
[03:23:26] Nothing nothing happens. And you you you
[03:23:30] get the you make the connection vaguely
[03:23:32] just because of the height difference of
[03:23:34] the statues. And it's almost like a
[03:23:36] funny coincidence at the very least to
[03:23:39] you. Um but still the identities of the
[03:23:42] statues especially that they're
[03:23:43] weathered over time. the features are
[03:23:46] smoothed over the details of the of
[03:23:49] their bodies have been like um eroded
[03:23:52] over time. Um that basically should you
[03:23:56] wish the only resemblance to make of the
[03:23:58] five of you are the fact that two of
[03:24:00] them are small uh three of them are tall
[03:24:03] but essentially in the middle of the
[03:24:07] five statues gathered at the center of
[03:24:09] the of the meadow you see almost an
[03:24:13] obelisk an eroded obelisk uh stone
[03:24:17] with writings carved on it. However, the
[03:24:21] writings have existed for eons from what
[03:24:25] you can gather because even [music]
[03:24:28] indecipherable
[03:24:30] you
[03:24:32] the characters uh etched themselves have
[03:24:35] been worn down over time uh chipped in
[03:24:39] places. You get uh I believe Sheamus and
[03:24:43] Odi you speak this language.
[03:24:46] You get hints [snorts]
[03:24:49] that this language is celestial,
[03:24:53] but you can't make out the words because
[03:24:57] it's so weathered and eroded that
[03:25:00] literally chunks of the texts are
[03:25:02] missing.
[03:25:06] Wait, check out the subst, guys.
[03:25:10] It's the writing here is kind of
[03:25:13] familiar,
[03:25:15] but I can't read it because it's like
[03:25:18] missing a few.
[03:25:20] Well, some parts are like broken off or
[03:25:23] something, but it's very familiar.
[03:25:26] Oh, these looks these look like the
[03:25:29] writings I see in my dad's notebooks.
[03:25:34] Okay,
[03:25:38] Jeff is making a face. You're on to
[03:25:39] something sad.
[03:25:43] But I can't read too much. So, Mr. uh
[03:25:47] Mr. Cleric, maybe
[03:25:49] maybe you can
[03:25:52] uh whatchamacallit, can you write down
[03:25:55] like what you can uh get from these?
[03:25:59] Maybe like seeing the clearer ones
[03:26:01] together will help us
[03:26:04] understand.
[03:26:04] Give me give me an inside check or an
[03:26:07] investigation check for Sheamus.
[03:26:09] Okay.
[03:26:12] Inside or in
[03:26:15] perception check for everyone else.
[03:26:17] Oh boy.
[03:26:18] Oh crap.
[03:26:22] I got a 16 for perception.
[03:26:24] Uh natural 20. So 25.
[03:26:26] Nice. I also got a natural 20 for
[03:26:29] perception. 21.
[03:26:32] Are you What are you rolling against?
[03:26:33] Perception. Perception.
[03:26:34] Perception. Perception.
[03:26:35] Perception.
[03:26:37] Hersheamus. You kind of spend a few
[03:26:40] minutes staring at the stone trying to
[03:26:41] decipher what remains of this ancient
[03:26:44] text and you get the words,
[03:26:48] "The forgotten altar of kings."
[03:26:53] And somewhere beneath that you see will
[03:26:56] return.
[03:27:01] Huh?
[03:27:02] Huh?
[03:27:03] Well, can you find something?
[03:27:06] Will return.
[03:27:08] Well, it says here the forgotten altar
[03:27:12] of kings.
[03:27:13] There's a gap here.
[03:27:19] This is a rough visualization. Okay.
[03:27:26] What about you, Mr. Tess? What are your
[03:27:28] thoughts in all this
[03:27:32] has no thoughts?
[03:27:35] Um, it appears
[03:27:38] our Mr. Tess is out of gas. Are you Mr.
[03:27:41] Tessk?
[03:27:43] Maybe. I forgot.
[03:27:44] Perhaps he is hungry cuz I am too.
[03:27:51] So, I pull out I pull out one of my
[03:27:52] rations. I'm like, "Would you like one
[03:27:55] here?"
[03:27:56] I had them one of my rations. [snorts]
[03:27:59] I I would like to eat it somewhere safe
[03:28:02] when we're out of here.
[03:28:04] All right. But you can keep it. No
[03:28:06] worries.
[03:28:08] So,
[03:28:09] yeah.
[03:28:10] So, the lines aren't extremely accurate,
[03:28:13] but that's kind of like the general what
[03:28:15] you can make.
[03:28:17] But it says here at the forgotten altar
[03:28:21] of kings
[03:28:23] and then will return. That's all I can
[03:28:27] read. The rest are really jumbled up
[03:28:30] because of the break the wear and tear.
[03:28:33] I guess
[03:28:35] at this point are rolling a natural 20.
[03:28:38] You see the fireflies gathering [music]
[03:28:40] at the corner of this meadow um behind
[03:28:43] all of you where you are facing and you
[03:28:45] can see a stone arch leading away and
[03:28:50] almost like the fireflies are lighting
[03:28:53] the edges of this um stone arch. um
[03:28:59] creating a glowing threshold like a
[03:29:02] doorway where sunlight is just beginning
[03:29:05] to break through the the darkness of the
[03:29:08] twilight forest. But at this point, you
[03:29:11] hear the ground
[03:29:16] rumble beneath the grass. The ground
[03:29:19] itself breaks into a rupture and a hand
[03:29:23] [music] made of wood.
[03:29:26] Oh god. itself [music]
[03:29:28] from beneath the meadow. Everyone roll
[03:29:30] initiative as a wood
[03:29:34] rises from the ground.
[03:29:37] Jesus Christ.
[03:29:40] Oh my god.
[03:29:42] I got 12.
[03:29:46] Your initiative is I'll just go to the
[03:29:47] bathroom real quick.
[03:29:48] Okay.
[03:29:49] Uh
[03:29:51] I got a seven. Why do I always I'm
[03:29:53] always laughing. We uh rested. Yeah.
[03:29:57] Wait a moment. I have a plus one. Wait.
[03:30:01] Oh.
[03:30:05] So,
[03:30:07] Sheamus
[03:30:12] out of character. Josie, are you okay?
[03:30:16] Puppy
[03:30:17] or
[03:30:19] maybe?
[03:30:21] Wait. So many Josie same 19 plus one.
[03:30:29] What's your deck?
[03:30:31] Plus one. You should both be plus one.
[03:30:33] Yeah,
[03:30:35] my deck is plus one. Yeah, I'm at 12.
[03:30:37] Yeah.
[03:30:38] 13.
[03:30:40] Oh, Joseph is 13.
[03:30:42] Yeah. No,
[03:30:43] I mean like you roll.
[03:30:44] Oh, rolled.
[03:30:45] Oh, you rolled. Okay, wait.
[03:30:49] 17. Nice.
[03:30:52] Uh, so she must test it first.
[03:30:56] I mean, Sheamus first. Are you okay,
[03:30:58] Jesse?
[03:31:00] I'm solving the puzzle.
[03:31:01] Hey,
[03:31:03] solving the I think we just need to run
[03:31:05] out of the [ __ ]
[03:31:09] just need to run out of the [ __ ]
[03:31:10] thing.
[03:31:13] You guys can switch over to Miro.
[03:31:16] Oh god.
[03:31:17] Oh boy.
[03:31:19] Oh boy. In danger.
[03:31:23] Okay. Good thing I'm here.
[03:31:26] It's a good thing I put her in.
[03:31:28] Oh no. I
[03:31:29] Where is it?
[03:31:30] Where is it, Jeff? Is it more top left?
[03:31:34] No, no, no. I'm still putting it there.
[03:31:37] That's what she said.
[03:31:46] I know. It's a battlefield.
[03:31:49] Yeah, it's the
[03:31:55] I'm hoping we just need to run the
[03:31:57] thingy.
[03:31:59] Place yourselves around the stairs.
[03:32:02] Uh, I will place the wood. Hold on.
[03:32:08] I put myself over here.
[03:32:10] Oh, has vanished.
[03:32:12] He's gone.
[03:32:16] Okay, maybe I go here.
[03:32:19] Oh no, where is
[03:32:20] Oh yeah, we're we're going under the
[03:32:22] map, Jeff.
[03:32:26] Oh no,
[03:32:26] our our tokens are going under the map.
[03:32:31] Hold on.
[03:32:33] Arrange and then send to back. Here you
[03:32:36] go.
[03:32:37] Okay. Oh, the the the guy is there. Oh
[03:32:40] no.
[03:32:42] Wait. places itself in between you and
[03:32:45] the archway.
[03:32:46] Top of the round.
[03:32:49] Uh,
[03:32:50] who do we have?
[03:32:51] Famous, it's your turn. What do you do?
[03:32:54] Should we make our character smaller or
[03:32:56] what? What's our size, Jeff?
[03:32:59] Yeah.
[03:32:59] One square. Is it four square?
[03:33:00] Four square.
[03:33:01] Yes.
[03:33:02] One square. Okay.
[03:33:03] So, I make it smaller.
[03:33:05] Make it small. Make your character
[03:33:06] smaller.
[03:33:07] Jeff, the map move. Sorry.
[03:33:10] It's okay. I locked it.
[03:33:12] Can you lock it? Yay.
[03:33:15] Okay, I guess we get one statue each and
[03:33:17] I'm the one next to the guy.
[03:33:20] Wait, since I was reading from the
[03:33:24] Tamarette, I'm here cuz I was reading
[03:33:27] from the OB list.
[03:33:28] Sure.
[03:33:29] Yeah.
[03:33:30] Okay.
[03:33:31] Oh crap. And then good thing I prepared
[03:33:35] this.
[03:33:37] I
[03:33:39] [laughter]
[03:33:41] just in case
[03:33:44] you
[03:33:48] um I think it's equal cuz you're in the
[03:33:51] middle of
[03:33:53] everything.
[03:33:54] One, two, three. I go near
[03:33:58] Alri and I I just touch his shoulder and
[03:34:01] like, okay, this might be this might be
[03:34:04] tough. So, I'm just gonna
[03:34:07] So, I'm just going to help you. Give you
[03:34:09] a helping hand. And I cast guidance.
[03:34:13] That doesn't work that way.
[03:34:15] Does it?
[03:34:15] Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. If Jeff
[03:34:16] allows it.
[03:34:19] Um, for guidance,
[03:34:25] it does last for a minute.
[03:34:28] It does last for a minute,
[03:34:30] but it if you're thinking of attack
[03:34:33] roles, it doesn't add to attack roles.
[03:34:35] He can do ability check. So if that's
[03:34:39] what you want to do,
[03:34:41] I I know I told you about guidance lens
[03:34:43] and how important it is, but it's
[03:34:45] usually used out of combat
[03:34:47] for RP purposes. [laughter]
[03:34:48] You could have you you could have
[03:34:50] literally used it when people were
[03:34:51] making perception checks earlier.
[03:34:54] That's when you use it.
[03:34:56] Okay,
[03:34:57] that's noted.
[03:34:59] Lesson learned. Lesson learned.
[03:35:00] Lesson learned. Lesson learned. Anyway,
[03:35:04] [ __ ]
[03:35:05] What do you do?
[03:35:08] Uh, just Okay. No, I'm just going to do
[03:35:13] I secret slame on the guy.
[03:35:15] Nice.
[03:35:16] Okay. Please roll for
[03:35:21] damage. It fails.
[03:35:23] As he's rolling for damage, Jeff, do I
[03:35:25] get a free action at the top of the run
[03:35:27] to shout out what I saw
[03:35:31] or no?
[03:35:32] Do you did you get a Nat 20?
[03:35:35] No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just asking
[03:35:36] like before maybe before initiative
[03:35:39] began.
[03:35:39] You don't need an
[03:35:41] You can just shout it now.
[03:35:42] Okay. I'm just going to
[03:35:45] I I think the the archway is a way out
[03:35:48] of here, guys.
[03:35:51] Well, let me just hit this guy just so
[03:35:54] he can be I don't know hurt. And I cast
[03:35:57] six
[03:35:59] points of damage.
[03:36:00] Six damage. Okay.
[03:36:04] All right.
[03:36:06] Is that your turn? You have a bonus
[03:36:08] action and movement.
[03:36:09] Okay. Uh I think I What bon Oh, okay.
[03:36:13] Fire erupts from the ground and this
[03:36:16] massive thing.
[03:36:18] Its roots from its legs are almost like
[03:36:21] snapping and like burrowing deep in the
[03:36:24] ground. It doesn't help as it tries to
[03:36:27] maneuver its way around the sacred flame
[03:36:29] and it radiant fire um catches on its
[03:36:34] skin, but it's radiant, not ash of
[03:36:37] flames.
[03:36:38] So, it doesn't really take the brunt of
[03:36:41] the damage um as much as you would hope
[03:36:46] fire would scorch the bark of its skin.
[03:36:49] Is that your turn, Sheamus?
[03:36:51] Okay,
[03:36:53] I
[03:36:56] move away for a bit and
[03:36:59] I move away for a bit and
[03:36:59] wait. I think 10 15 25. Yeah, I I move
[03:37:04] here and that's my turn.
[03:37:07] Okay, next up is the wood.
[03:37:12] Oh,
[03:37:14] it's going to move to
[03:37:18] engage it uh in melee. It's going to
[03:37:22] swing its club.
[03:37:24] Oh boy.
[03:37:26] Oh,
[03:37:27] bludgeoning.
[03:37:30] an 18 to hit. So that hits.
[03:37:32] That does [snorts] hit.
[03:37:34] Uh take silver barbs.
[03:37:38] Okay. Disadvantage. Pass your silvery
[03:37:41] barge. That's still an 18 to hit.
[03:37:44] Son of a mother.
[03:37:48] [laughter]
[03:37:51] I swear.
[03:37:53] Nine points. Uh you take 13 points of
[03:37:56] bludgeoning damage.
[03:37:57] Jesus. Lord have mercy.
[03:38:00] Your rib gets crushed underneath the the
[03:38:04] massive weight of its
[03:38:06] wooden club.
[03:38:08] It forces you to kneel and as it hits
[03:38:11] you, actually it's form kind of kind of
[03:38:16] um lunges it forward and it breaks off a
[03:38:18] section of the statue you're leaning
[03:38:20] against.
[03:38:24] So the statues aren't important.
[03:38:28] Okay. Um,
[03:38:32] next up we have Tess. It's your turn.
[03:38:35] Okay.
[03:38:38] [clears throat]
[03:38:38] Are you okay though, Josie?
[03:38:40] I move here.
[03:38:42] And then how long is this? Two, three,
[03:38:44] four, five. Actually, I move here.
[03:38:47] Wait, I'll still hit Aldri.
[03:38:50] God damn it.
[03:38:52] I have a feeling what you're going to
[03:38:53] do.
[03:38:54] God damn it. [laughter]
[03:38:56] Sorry all in advance.
[03:38:59] Oh no,
[03:39:04] it's a line cuz
[03:39:09] the the thingy is like in this box,
[03:39:12] right? This box.
[03:39:15] The thingy. What thingy?
[03:39:17] The enemy.
[03:39:20] Oh, it's four boxes.
[03:39:21] So it's this thing, right? So it's if I
[03:39:24] if I say like it hits this thing, it
[03:39:26] still hits, right?
[03:39:28] Yeah, definitely.

[03:39:40] Shoot it at the head or something.
[03:39:41] Okay.
[03:39:42] Okay, that makes more sense. Uh,
[03:39:47] I aim my staff at the
[03:39:50] Oh, he does have another
[03:39:52] at the chest of the creature more of the
[03:39:55] shoulder because I don't Tessek does not
[03:39:57] know how to properly aim stuff and then
[03:40:00] you hear the rig hiss and like its gears
[03:40:06] turning and then you see
[03:40:10] some liquid form out of the liquid into
[03:40:13] the staff and then the staff itself
[03:40:17] turns green
[03:40:19] and then I cast Tasha's costic brew at
[03:40:22] the creature.
[03:40:24] Okay,
[03:40:26] then save DC is 14
[03:40:30] decks. Yeah, is it decks?

[03:40:40] that's a 2d4.
[03:40:44] Four, three, seven.

[03:40:52] Oh,
[03:40:53] nice.
[03:40:54] Um, as you do this, as your absence
[03:40:57] green elixir splashes across its chest,
[03:41:02] its plant, its plant constitution almost
[03:41:05] drinks it and laps it up and absorbs it
[03:41:08] in its wooden skin as if water for a
[03:41:12] tree. It does still sizzle and smoke and
[03:41:15] like and corrode where your spell hits
[03:41:19] it, but you notice that it's
[03:41:22] regenerating from the ground up as the
[03:41:25] grass swaying underneath its its trunk
[03:41:29] like feet feeds it with this magical
[03:41:33] vitality.

[03:46:18] uh sorcery points metamagic
[03:46:22] quick and spell
[03:46:25] uh
[03:46:27] they use two to quick and spell a chaos
[03:46:29] bolt. So as Alri just just dodges around
[03:46:34] uh in between the the big wooden son of
[03:46:36] a bitch's feet and and trying to avoid
[03:46:39] his big ass ball from hitting him.
[03:46:41] Actively trying to dodge around even
[03:46:43] though he's not very good at it, but he
[03:46:44] tries his best. He tries to run behind
[03:46:46] him and then keeps going towards the
[03:46:48] arch. And then as he gets closer to the
[03:46:50] arch, he turns around and then he
[03:46:52] reaches out his hand in front of him and
[03:46:53] in in the palm of his hands, all of this
[03:46:56] energy starts to gather at the at the
[03:46:59] end of his at the end of his at the at
[03:47:01] his palm. And it's like it's not just
[03:47:04] one color. It's multiple. It's it's it's
[03:47:06] red, it's blue, it's green, it's it's
[03:47:10] purple. All kinds of an amalgamation of
[03:47:13] energy starts forming into his hand and
[03:47:15] he casts a second level
[03:47:18] chaos bolt into this guy's ass.
[03:47:21] Go ahead.
[03:47:22] And cast your chaos bolt.
[03:47:25] Your unstable magic sparks inside you.
[03:47:28] Roll on the wild magic table.
[03:47:30] Of course. Of course you [laughter] want
[03:47:31] me to roll to the wild magic table, bro.
[03:47:35] Okay.
[03:47:37] Well, I mean, I haven't used it. I
[03:47:38] haven't used it yet as well. So, I'm
[03:47:40] gonna use I'm gonna throw in a tides of
[03:47:41] chaos into this thing. So, I have if if
[03:47:45] it doesn't fail, I'm gonna have
[03:47:46] advantage, I guess.
[03:47:48] I don't have it yet because it's just
[03:47:50] about to return after you roll for uh
[03:47:54] the wild magic surge. So, you can't use
[03:47:57] it on this spell. Sure, sure, sure,
[03:48:00] sure, sure, sure.
[03:48:02] Okay, so let's see what my wild magic
[03:48:06] gives me.
[03:48:09] Oh boy,
[03:48:13] I can't find my details. There it is.
[03:48:17] Uh, my wild magic is a 49.
[03:48:23] 49. 49.
[03:48:24] 49. Or 49.
[03:48:26] Is this the same as before?
[03:48:28] Wait. Yeah. Didn't you get this before?
[03:48:30] No. No. This is different. Um, 49. Yes.
[03:48:34] Yes.
[03:48:37] As you cast your chaos bolt, you can
[03:48:40] deal damage first.
[03:48:41] Okay, wait. I I'll roll to hit first. I
[03:48:44] rolled a 12 + 5. Is it a plus five?
[03:48:48] Yeah, 17 hits.
[03:48:52] Okay,
[03:48:52] that's the damage.
[03:48:54] Um, let me roll real quick for the
[03:48:57] damage.
[03:48:59] So,
[03:49:01] man, Chaos Bolt is so [ __ ]
[03:49:05] complicated.
[03:49:06] Um,
[03:49:08] I rolled a 76 on the D8.
[03:49:13] 76 is poison or psychic. So, I'll choose
[03:49:15] psychic damage. Seven. I did
[03:49:19] Okay.
[03:49:19] I did 16 points of damage. 16 points of
[03:49:22] psychic damage.
[03:49:24] Oh. Oh, wow. Okay.
[03:49:26] Oh, wait. This is a second double. This
[03:49:28] is the second double. Sorry. So, I add
[03:49:30] another D6 to it.
[03:49:32] So, plus three 19 points of uh psychic
[03:49:35] damage to him.
[03:49:37] Oh my god.
[03:49:39] You see the wood after Alrech rushes
[03:49:42] towards the arch and looks back. He
[03:49:44] extends his hand and a bolt of a psychic
[03:49:47] lands
[03:49:48] rushes from his fingertips and the wood
[03:49:51] crumples.
[03:49:53] It falls to his knees. still alive, but
[03:49:56] it pounds on the ground as if it's
[03:49:58] having the worst migrade of its life.
[03:50:06] Nice.
[03:50:07] It takes the damage, but Alrich, as you
[03:50:11] cast this, as your spell leaves your
[03:50:13] fingertips, your magic inside you sparks
[03:50:17] and the world around you shrinks. You
[03:50:19] become tiny.
[03:50:20] Oh, great.
[03:50:22] So after I shoot it, I'm like I I say
[03:50:25] shoot and then I look around like,
[03:50:27] "Guys, what's happening? Why is
[03:50:30] everything so big?"
[03:50:33] You're as big as the chest.
[03:50:35] Huh?
[03:50:35] As big as the what?
[03:50:37] You're as big as the chest pieces. The
[03:50:39] kings.
[03:50:40] Oh, I'm a tiny creature. I'm a tiny
[03:50:43] creature.
[03:50:46] Um, everyone else you just see
[03:50:50] vanish as he you don't know what exactly
[03:50:53] happened but he becomes so small you can
[03:50:56] barely see him above the grass.
[03:50:59] I will yell to him. Are you still there?
[03:51:02] You become invisible as well.
[03:51:05] Everything is so big. Miss Puppy help.
[03:51:09] I [laughter] just hear rat a rat type
[03:51:11] squeak.
[03:51:12] Yeah.
[03:51:12] I I think he's mute.
[03:51:15] No, I'm not as
[03:51:17] right
[03:51:18] at this point. The ground behind all of
[03:51:21] you shakes as another road.
[03:51:24] Oh, Jesus Christ,
[03:51:26] guys. We have to
[03:51:28] run. Get the [ __ ] out.
[03:51:30] I think we have

[03:51:33] rush towards Poppy.
[03:51:36] Right.
[03:51:37] Make it all the way here
[03:51:41] and it's going to hit you with its club.
[03:51:46] That is an eight. So, it misses, but it
[03:51:51] hits the statue and blows the torso of
[03:51:54] the statue clean off.
[03:51:56] Oh god.
[03:51:58] Miss Poppy. No.
[03:51:59] You know what? To make it more dynamic,
[03:52:01] Poppy, give me a dexterity saving throw.

[03:53:26] feet cuz they're so big.

[03:58:33] Six force damage. Nice. All right. At
[03:58:36] the end of your turn, as you near
[03:58:38] towards um behind OD, you hear another
[03:58:42] rumble.
[03:58:43] Jesus Christ, dog. Yeah, right off the
[03:58:47] ground is a third wood.
[03:58:50] You can feel these ancient guardians
[03:58:53] awakening and the very fabric of the fa
[03:58:57] wild almost closing around you and you
[03:58:59] get the sensation that you have
[03:59:01] overstayed. Um, you've over lingered
[03:59:04] your stay.
[03:59:05] Um, everyone make me an inside chat.
[03:59:11] [laughter]
[03:59:11] I know what you're gonna say, Jeff.
[03:59:12] They're just You just going to tell us
[03:59:14] to run? Okay, we know, bro. We know.
[03:59:17] 19 19
[03:59:19] I got
[03:59:21] inside.
[03:59:22] I got inside.
[03:59:23] I got 21.
[03:59:25] 21.
[03:59:26] I got eight.
[03:59:27] Okay.
[03:59:28] 19.
[03:59:31] So, here's the thing. Pretty much all of
[03:59:33] you except Poppy knows that this is a
[03:59:35] losing battle. You're going to die here
[03:59:37] if you awaken any more uh woods
[03:59:42] that already are not going to let you
[03:59:44] leave that easily.
[03:59:46] But based on what you know, one wood
[03:59:49] enough would be enough for all of you.
[03:59:53] Yeah.
[03:59:54] Um especially don't have you're not
[03:59:56] equipped um elementally to fight it with
[03:59:59] fire. Next up, we have
[04:00:03] OD. It's your turn. What would you like
[04:00:05] to do? I specifically avoided fire
[04:00:08] spells for Olri. So [laughter]
[04:00:18] OD.
[04:00:19] Okay. Um, hold on.
[04:00:24] Somebody yell yell.
[04:00:27] [laughter]
[04:00:31] Somebody tell me.
[04:00:32] Somebody tell me.
[04:00:34] Wait, wait a moment. Wait a moment.
[04:00:36] Okay.
[04:00:38] So, I would
[04:00:41] carrying a teammate is an action, right?
[04:00:48] Uh carrying them if they are willingly I
[04:00:52] would say no cuz it's not really a
[04:00:53] contested grapple. It would just half
[04:00:55] your speed.
[04:00:57] Okay, never mind. Bye-bye. A sec. Uh,
[04:01:04] wait. Okay, I move here. So, that's
[04:01:08] uh
[04:01:11] how much? Okay.
[04:01:15] So, that's me.
[04:01:18] Okay. And
[04:01:20] Okay. So, out of panic, I see these two
[04:01:24] uh new wooden monsters pop up. And I
[04:01:29] would like to rage. Okay. Next.
[04:01:32] Go ahead.
[04:01:36] Okay. Wait.
[04:01:36] Roll on your wild magic.
[04:01:38] [ __ ]
[04:01:38] Oh, I know.
[04:01:40] [ __ ] [laughter]
[04:01:41] Wait. Wait a moment.
[04:01:43] Wait a moment.
[04:01:45] That's a
[04:01:47] That's a four.
[04:01:50] Jeff, can you just make that four into
[04:01:51] the one where she teleports?
[04:01:53] Just Just give us a bone. Just give give
[04:01:55] us a bone. Okay. Just give us a
[04:01:57] unfortunately is not the one where you
[04:02:00] teleport.
[04:02:01] Instead, you feel your ball
[04:02:05] crackle like thunder
[04:02:07] as it vibrates with force.
[04:02:11] Um, however, it becomes as light as a
[04:02:14] feather.
[04:02:15] Um, and you instinctively know that if
[04:02:18] you throw this thing, it will return to
[04:02:20] you as you feel bonded with your weapon.
[04:02:22] Oh, that's that's that's super helpful.
[04:02:25] Right now,
[04:02:26] I have a big builder. Okay.
[04:02:28] Oh, yeah. You have
[04:02:29] Yep.

[04:02:48] mana, right? Okay.
[04:02:49] Yeah. So I raise
[04:02:52] you guys can talk out of combat. I mean
[04:02:54] like you guys can role play and talk
[04:02:56] despite not being your turn. Keep going.
[04:02:58] Okay. Okay.
[04:03:00] So I raised my m up and try to sw
[04:03:05] to to
[04:03:06] swing it across it. Knees and

[04:03:41] heard him, but I do not understand.
[04:03:43] Okay, Poppy. You hear Alri's voice
[04:03:45] screaming at you to run? Although you
[04:03:47] can't tell if it's your if it's your
[04:03:49] Fred Alick or if it's your conscience
[04:03:51] because [laughter]
[04:03:52] it's so small.
[04:03:53] Okay.
[04:03:54] If it's
[04:03:56] it might
[04:04:00] plus two plus two. So that's a nine.
[04:04:04] Okay.
[04:04:04] A nine damage.
[04:04:06] Yes. It takes the damage and you kind of
[04:04:10] um strike at its foot high enough that
[04:04:13] like it's the
[04:04:16] the the center of your aim where it hits
[04:04:19] and its leg shatters as it cripples it
[04:04:24] crumples the ground crippled by your
[04:04:25] blow. Um but it is still standing.
[04:04:29] Miss Poppy, we have to go now. And then

[04:05:26] I as a bonus action, I disengage. And
[04:05:29] then I would like to dash towards the
[04:05:33] port, the arch. So that's um

[04:06:30] Right next to the portal. I'm not going
[04:06:31] to go in yet. Uh, I'm gonna
[04:06:34] As you approach
[04:06:36] glowing with the light of the fireflies,
[04:06:38] you try to reach out for it and hesitate
[04:06:40] and something pulls you back. You feel
[04:06:43] the weight in your chest binding the
[04:06:45] five of together.

[04:06:57] surrounded by everybody with a
[04:06:59] frostbite. So, he's just he's he's just
[04:07:02] going to reach out his hand and the the
[04:07:03] palm of his hand once again is just
[04:07:05] going to turn blue and then he's going
[04:07:06] to swing it. He's going to swing it
[04:07:08] around and then uh wave it in front of
[04:07:11] his face and then a palm of ice is just
[04:07:13] going to appear from the back of the I I

[04:07:46] turn. What do you do?

[04:08:00] Yeah, I know.
[04:08:01] You can if you dash to uh where Poppy
[04:08:04] and Alrich are. Basically, if you just
[04:08:06] make it and Alrich are, I'll count that
[04:08:09] as you're at the entrance of the portal.
[04:08:12] Okay, I will dash. So, that's five.
[04:08:14] One, two, three, four, five, six.

[04:08:44] something.
[04:08:45] No, no, no. Don't worry.
[04:08:48] I hope. Let me see.
[04:08:57] Oh, wait. Actually, Tes Tess is not
[04:08:59] going to make it in one turn.
[04:09:03] Why?
[04:09:04] He has 20 ft of movement. He's
[04:09:07] Yeah,
[04:09:08] if he dashed
[04:09:09] If he dashes, he makes one, two, three,
[04:09:13] four,
[04:09:13] eight square,
[04:09:14] five, six, seven, eight. He's still He's
[04:09:16] going to need one more round
[04:09:18] unless someone carries them.
[04:09:24] But I'm going to have
[04:09:25] You want to
[04:09:27] All right.
[04:09:28] Just worry worry about yourself first,
[04:09:30] Lance, cuz you're too far away to help
[04:09:31] Tessic right now.
[04:09:32] Yeah.
[04:09:33] Yeah. I'm I'm just going to dash and
[04:09:35] stay here.
[04:09:37] All right.
[04:09:38] Tessic, you are where Poppy and Alrich
[04:09:39] are. Next up, uh Sheamus, you are where
[04:09:42] Poppy and Alrich are. Tessic, it's your
[04:09:43] turn.
[04:09:44] How far do you
[04:09:51] um it's going to turn to OD and will
[04:09:54] attack.
[04:09:55] It's a good thing she's raging now.

[04:09:59] Another It strikes the beside you.
[04:10:02] Oh god.
[04:10:04] Uh doesn't move further as it it's
[04:10:06] engaged with your raging barbarian with
[04:10:09] lilac glowing hair. Uh Tessa, it's your
[04:10:12] turn.
[04:10:14] Holy.
[04:10:18] Can I cast
[04:10:20] the
[04:10:21] Joy? Go to your furthest. No, I can
[04:10:23] carry.
[04:10:26] Can you cast long strider during combat?
[04:10:30] Oh, yes.
[04:10:34] Oh, this is that's so clutch if you have
[04:10:35] long strider.
[04:10:38] Yes.
[04:10:38] Yes.
[04:10:41] Wait, what does the long strider do
[04:10:42] again?
[04:10:45] Makes me faster.
[04:10:47] Yeah, it gives you another 10 ft.
[04:10:50] That's nice.
[04:10:53] Oh, yeah.
[04:10:56] For the purposes of this since um
[04:11:00] I'll be moving Ellie at this point since
[04:11:03] it takes her it takes its turn after you
[04:11:05] testic. So, go right ahead. You cast
[04:11:07] long strider on yourself. How far are
[04:11:10] you going to run?
[04:11:11] 10
[04:11:13] 20.
[04:11:14] Oh, I can only run up to here.
[04:11:17] It's fine. It's fine.
[04:11:24] That's with additional movement now.
[04:11:27] Yeah. He He only goes from 20 to 30. So,
[04:11:29] it's not
[04:11:31] Oh, it's not
[04:11:32] It's not crazy,
[04:11:34] but it's something. It's something he
[04:11:35] did. He couldn't dash because he it was
[04:11:36] his action to do long striding.
[04:11:39] Uh
[04:11:41] is that it's something?
[04:11:45] Is that your turn, Tess?
[04:11:47] Yep. Or I can No, never mind. I can
[04:11:52] Okay. Um next up is OD. Actually, it's
[04:11:57] the wood.
[04:11:58] This one is going to move here.
[04:12:00] It can't be that.
[04:12:04] Yeah, it's nutless.
[04:12:07] But it makes it up to here. Threatening
[04:12:10] your retreat. OD, it's your turn. You
[04:12:12] see Tessic and you are the only ones
[04:12:14] left behind. Ellie is small enough that
[04:12:17] you can actually just like pick it up
[04:12:21] like a plushy. What do you do?
[04:12:27] Okay.
[04:12:30] So, I noticed that
[04:12:32] um
[04:12:34] the more I attack these things, the more
[04:12:35] that they're just going to maybe spawn,
[04:12:38] maybe not. I don't know. I don't want to
[04:12:39] risk that anymore. So, I shout out to
[04:12:42] Tess. Tess,
[04:12:44] you catch up with us later. Okay. And
[04:12:46] then I go to [laughter]
[04:12:48] I go to Ellie.
[04:12:50] Come on, let's go. And then uh boom
[04:12:54] boom. We reach Oh, sorry.
[04:12:58] Whoops. All right. Anyway, we just run
[04:12:59] to here. That's it.
[04:13:02] Okay. Uh, it will be this wood's turn.
[04:13:05] It moves all the way to here. It is now
[04:13:08] forming a wall threatening your escape.
[04:13:12] Um, I'm just going to move it here
[04:13:15] because
[04:13:16] uh for brevity,
[04:13:18] I imagine that keep pushing against
[04:13:20] you're the only one lingering away. What
[04:13:24] would you like to do? I'll give you this
[04:13:25] for brevity. Um, is there anything you
[04:13:28] would like to do first?
[04:13:34] First,
[04:13:36] what?
[04:13:38] Like anything you would want to do apart
[04:13:39] from run? Unless you just run.
[04:13:42] No, I just run. I'm scared. [laughter]
[04:13:44] Okay,
[04:13:46] just run.
[04:13:48] the the four woods as the four of as the
[04:13:51] five of you gather around the arch, the
[04:13:54] four woods
[04:13:56] enclosed in the space behind you, it
[04:13:58] feels like the forest itself is
[04:14:00] threatening to
[04:14:02] oh no
[04:14:02] you as four massive towering living
[04:14:06] trees crush the very air you're
[04:14:09] breathing but before you you see the
[04:14:13] forest and the path ending
[04:14:18] Yeah. [laughter]
[04:14:20] Head as glows with the light of the
[04:14:24] fireflies for you look at each other and
[04:14:28] you only need to jump. What would you
[04:14:30] like to do?
[04:14:31] Jump.
[04:14:32] Jump. Let's go.
[04:14:34] All right. Together. You jump.
[04:14:38] You jump together and you cross. You
[04:14:40] cross the threshold of the fire light.
[04:14:43] And the moment you cross, as the the
[04:14:46] gnarled arms of the woods reach out to
[04:14:49] catch the five of you, the five of you
[04:14:51] cross a threshold and sunlight bursts in
[04:14:55] your mind.
[04:14:58] Oh, there's effects.
[04:15:01] I've seen this before.
[04:15:02] Play a different
[04:15:04] I've seen this before.
[04:15:06] At this point, the five of you cross the
[04:15:09] threshold. The sunlight greets you once
[04:15:11] again [music] and you feel in a blink of
[04:15:13] an eye the wash of sleep plunge you into
[04:15:18] that oblivion of darkness and then wake
[04:15:20] you up once again. As the first to wake
[04:15:24] up, Sheamus, you stir and you're lying
[04:15:27] on the grass, the sunlight of dawn
[04:15:30] caressing your face. You are beside the
[04:15:34] tree where you had fallen [music] that
[04:15:36] had taken you into the fwa. Beside you
[04:15:40] is the fallen branch that had pinned the
[04:15:45] rabbit that you'd seen on your way here.
[04:15:47] Except the rabbit is no longer there.
[04:15:51] Actually, the rabbit had not left a
[04:15:53] trace as if it wasn't struck in the
[04:15:56] first place. But as you rub sleep from
[04:15:59] your eyes and you sit up, you hold the
[04:16:02] red kite in your hands. [music]
[04:16:04] The children Celio and his brother are
[04:16:07] nowhere to be fi be found. Presumably
[04:16:10] they've they've um wandered off when you
[04:16:13] didn't show up. But you are fairly
[04:16:16] confident that it is mourning now and
[04:16:19] you have what you came for except you
[04:16:21] had lost something as well. The memory
[04:16:23] of your son or what he looks like to be
[04:16:26] specific.
[04:16:28] for Alrich and Poppy. The two of you
[04:16:31] wake up separately um on either side of
[04:16:34] the road.
[04:16:36] Um you remember your companions seconds
[04:16:39] before, but as the two of you wake up,
[04:16:42] you find that only the two of you are
[04:16:44] here on on opposite sides of the road
[04:16:47] where you had gone missing.
[04:16:50] But no uh no sign of OD, Tessk, or
[04:16:52] Sheamus. Meanwhile, Tessic, you wake up
[04:16:56] in the bank of the river where you had
[04:16:58] found the gold. The pebbles still
[04:16:59] clutched in your hand. The warm light of
[04:17:02] dawn glimmering in your eyes, no longer
[04:17:05] of gold, but of a promise of a new day
[04:17:08] ahead.
[04:17:10] And Odie, you wake up the morning
[04:17:13] [music] and in your hand, you're
[04:17:15] clutching the broken arrow that had
[04:17:19] struck [music] the moon on and maimed it
[04:17:22] until Sheamus, this goldenhaired elf,
[04:17:25] still vivid and fresh in your memory,
[04:17:27] healed her. Except you reach beside you
[04:17:32] in the empty space, [music] and you find
[04:17:34] no one. You are alone at the dawn dawn
[04:17:37] of the forest, separated once again. and
[04:17:39] the five of you are back where you
[04:17:42] started.
[04:17:44] However, as the sun rises from the
[04:17:47] treetops and gilds your vision with its
[04:17:50] twinkling light, you remember your
[04:17:54] companions and the night you had spent
[04:17:56] in the fa wild. The question is,
[04:18:00] will you see each other again? That is
[04:18:02] where we will end today's session.
[04:18:05] Oh my god.
[04:18:07] Oh my god.
[04:18:10] We ended an arc.
[04:18:12] That's just a prologue.
[04:18:14] We're going into war. Sorry, everyone.
[04:18:17] We're going into war.
[04:18:19] I decided to extend a bit since I did
[04:18:21] start a bit later.
[04:18:22] Yeah.
[04:18:24] Thank you.
[04:18:26] That was fun.
[04:18:27] Thanks, D. That was a great session. A
[04:18:29] lot of great RP moments.
[04:18:32] Yeah. Okay. Um, since it is now 8:30,
[04:18:36] thank you guys for playing. I hope you
[04:18:38] enjoyed. I will see you next session.
[04:18:42] See you next week.
[04:18:44] Bye Felicia.
[04:18:46] [laughter]
[04:18:48] Yay. Oh, who left?
[04:18:51] I hope it's okay.
[04:18:53] Yeah.
[04:18:59] Is it maybe his internet or I don't
[04:19:01] know.
[04:19:02] Yeah.
[04:19:06] Anyway,
[04:19:13] so we're looking for a son. We're
[04:19:16] looking for a son. A sibling. What else?
[04:19:21] Disgust naked.
[04:19:24] I don't know what's going to happen.
[04:19:26] Yeah,
[04:19:31] but we're all like at Capulet. No,
[04:19:34] I think that's what we're all It all
[04:19:36] started. Yes.
