Episode Transcript

(00:01):
All right, you guys. Welcome back to run back goes.
Plain walking episode 25. Let's get into it.
And with us all having teleported out of the
undermountain back into the square of Water Deep.
Um, first off some ear left withDeimos to go pick up tick from

(00:22):
the bird school, he left a bird children's school and she's like
18 of. So she was supposed to just
volunteering there. I guess.
Smear gave demos a very Stern talking to about being moral and
good. Samira was very excited about
waterdeep school district, whichfelt on brand.

(00:43):
The rest of us went with higher to go to the religious Center
sector, the religious sector to see about a cure for Monty.
We found a Priests of mystra, who would be able to help out
with Monty? He would be able.
He had to summon an Archbishop. Here to summon an Archbishop of
mystra, which would take about aweek.
And it also required, 500 gold pieces or a Divine debt, a blood

(01:08):
price, which is a corpse, no less than one hour dead.
And the trial of weeping which is means, which means that
during the ritual, we would haveto watch over him for one full
night of Agony. He would suffer and we had to
restrain him as he pleads with us to stop.
Davos made a deal with the priest, defend some time in the

(01:29):
chamber of suffering to cheapen everything else.
Meanwhile, I asked the priest about malaga's iron Shadow and
he recommended we try out the Temple of ill matter.
God of healing or Apollo, or a found out that most of his
posters have been taken down, very sad.
Um, higher Scandal was from disease.
We learned that Oro in Iceland'sbody, the beginning of slimy

(01:54):
Doom, which is caused exclusively by parasites in the
abyssal. Plain, but Doom Hear it now.
I'll guess of course has the iron shadow.
Um, we finally found one of my posters that was still up hidden
behind a huge masquerade, balls advertisement with an arrow
pointing to the advertisement. Suggesting, that's the place to
meet and a cryptic words called evil guy, minus 4 or evil guy

(02:19):
dash for evil guy, dash for veryconfusing.
Um, we went to visit Doctor him to check in with Dooms.
We found out the doctor him was an autonomy of exactly like Doom
probably the same Edition, though.
Of course, the malls and fucked up Corps but not long after, do
you learn that Dr. Him has the same corruption which had been

(02:40):
hidden by an illusion, very scandalous to Doom
sensibilities, that I would use an illusion um, and that this
corruption, banishes him for mechanists, every six seconds
calls in the pulsing red light which is also draining the
energy stored in his core reallyfast, we all learned that Dr.
Hymns Or was made into a phylactery, or at least

(03:02):
attempted to be made into a phylactery.
And that the decathlon that captured him said, his Corps was
just practice and needed to be removed Dr. Him is meeting with
a wizard tomorrow night who willpotentially give them more
insight but we can't come along as sort of an under the table.
Dealing next, we went to return,the book, we'd found in the

(03:23):
under Mountain to Volker, the court wizard.
Here was reading this evil book in the lobby, trying to learn
how to undo what happened to Monty Ohio was taking lots of
damage and going under so Samir and orifice took the book away
from him. Hurting himself volker's, new

(03:45):
assistant approached us and tookus into her his Chambers where
there was a huge Volker recognized demos, hesitated, and
then smiled and asked goddess above, what have you done?

(04:06):
This brings us back up to date. That's it.
We're up to date. Yeah.
You're all supposed to Whoa. Well You preemptive.
Um, yes, let's play some D&D. So, welcome back everyone to the
Rumpke goes plain. Walking.
We leave off right in the court of the Court, wizard of

(04:30):
waterdeep within the small Tower, the Spire.
That's just an offshoot from thelarge center pillar, but as you
were all called The waterdeep Castle is very medieval, very
classic. Medieval I put you in mind of a
Hogwarts Castle, just real traditional, and in one of these
mini spiers, you find yourself surrounding both.

(04:52):
The court wizard of waterdeep and his assistant.
The court wizard, a lizard folk missing an arm has not turned to
see you all and recognize his demo among you walking over.
He goes demos. What have you done?
I thought I'd be more happy to see me.

(05:12):
I thought no, I prayed You had died, easier cleaner.
So closer, you see his one hand.Pulls away from gripping, the
edge of the desk, his claws. Deacon to the wood, is he pulls
away? And he looks at you with these
big pleading eyes. You see in them, shock fear a

(05:33):
bit of proudness but mostly terrified, right?
Demons takes like a step back. I don't understand.
He turns quickly to his assistant, you out the woman
sort of looks shocked. And looks back at you guys, and
nods her head and slowly scoots behind you and exits the door.

(05:54):
You hear a loud heavy. Clang behind you.
Volker now steps forward. He's sort of straightens
rolling, his shoulders and forcing a composure.
Tell me the most Tell me exactlyhow you left the plane of Kings.
I, I found a crack in in the plane and and I was I was able

(06:14):
to escape. Its he's listening.
You see, his face is sort of unreadable then after a long
silence he hisses you didn't just slip through a crack boy.
You tore 10? I don't I don't see how this has
any any consequences like. Wow.

(06:36):
How did the plane? The long gone?
I don't what's wrong. He Sighs.
And you see his face off in a bit and he goes the most.
I apologize for the abruptness. It's good to see you again.
You takes a step forward. Now a bit uneasily and he seems
to almost reach out a hand towards you about halfway.

(06:57):
Oh, the most sort of hesitantly gets gets closer and And um,
kind of goes for a handshake butmaybe like, maybe like a half
hug, he's not too sure. He responds.
Kindly then looks at the rest ofthe party and goes.
The most you travel with friends.

(07:18):
Now, who are these people, can they be trusted?
Oh, yes. Yes, here.
These These Fine people that I've met them in in a plane
called socat and they've been they've been the most up most
loyal part to you that one couldask for Cat.
I've heard of it. Come in.

(07:40):
I have some tea brewing, he sortof turns around and Shuffle
shuffles off to the back end of this room.
Leaving you guys all to sort of feel in the space.
There's a small waiting room here, some couches lined with
pillows and sort of floor pillows and sort of a very
traditionally like Eastern way of sitting about a lot of
blankets low lighting. And, you know, notice also

(08:02):
around this room, there's just light sources from all over, not
only from a small Skylight aboveyou, but as well, I'll chemical
globe's, firelight torches, thatseemed to dance against the
wall, flickering Eerie Shadows across the room and all in
different colors too. They seem to be orbs on shelves,
on the walls, that glow bright blue pink or purple.

(08:23):
And there's a sort of disco balllike apparatus.
That's seems to float in the ceiling.
Spinning ever so slightly and generating a bright pale, white
light. Hey, ah, the most.
Who the fuck is this guy? He is he gonna like fight or
something? You must he I he's kind, he's

(08:45):
kind of like, my, my father, I guess he was, he was no not, no,
not literally. He was, he was my, my personal
tutor for a number of years, pretty much the one who cared
about me in the plane, but he, he did not just wish me dead

(09:07):
higher. Your, you must be confused with
all the blood loss. Really not looking too.
Good, man. You're sort of got this.
Like, you know, bloody look, Know, and I feel crazy right
now, but I'm pretty sure he justsaid.
I wish you had died. Is where you come from that bad.
I mean, I guess, you know, if ifyou can't if you can't leave

(09:32):
then. Yeah.
Maybe I could see, I could see that.
But, you know, I don't know. I don't understand why he seems
so put off by my by me being here honestly.
So let's, let's still keep the book on the download.
We don't need to tell him. Sounds like we have much to

(09:52):
learn. Yeah, yeah.
So not your dad. I look at him at the most and
then at this guy, how similar totheir lizards.
Look, look, the other lizard bulk is sort of off in the back
room. They don't look particularly
similar. Demos has a black dragon like
head and this lizard has more ofthe green yellow splotchy skin

(10:13):
that a lizard might. Oh no, it's that this level of
genetic variation is common and lizard folk.
Wow, or face, you just see you see a couple of scales and we're
all the same. You just told me like Two
seconds ago? Not biologically, not

(10:34):
biologically. But like, did he make you?
Because where do you have? Well, should I hmm?
Is it biological father? Because he sort of like this
Ever seen someone scared of asking a question but it's an

(10:58):
oral you should ask. It's just the follow-up
questions that you should be a little more hesitant about.
Okay. Most you have a biological
father, I guess biologically. I I'm not, I must right.
I'm right. You see a little confused and
Baby, I thought to think about that, I'll think about, okay, I

(11:18):
guess, what was the follow-up? I wasn't supposed to ask none,
come dry, nothing. No, it was just like, you know,
if you were like, oh, where's your dad now?
You know, did he just go up and leave?
You know that? I think one of us knows where
our dad is. Oh, maybe Giant.
I know we're Mad. Yeah, they're kids.

(11:42):
You know I do they have their own families now but I have
visited them. We do holidays together.
For like a family dinner or something, I think it would be
helpful for you guys. I would really raises his

(12:06):
goggles to wipe away tears. Be fine.
How Samir doing Mason, you know,the Samir just has a new Full
expression, looking around the room.
Smile. But a neutral expression.

(12:27):
Just a neutral expression, stillface.
Okay. Demo the most, you told me about
this man before he was your previous instructor before you
and I learned magic together, Ohyes.
Yes this was well he never you know never we never got as as

(12:47):
much progress between between you and me.
Of course, of course. So yeah, that's pay.
No mind to that previous title. Oh yes.
Okay, got it. Yeah.
Are you okay Samir? I feel like, I feel like maybe
you having some mixed feelings right now that I don't.

(13:08):
I'm fine Smiles neutrally. Just reading the room.
Okay, good. Well, you just let me know.
You just let me know. And with that, you know, you
notice that the lizard folk returns back from behind, some
sort of half walls, that divide the room up into smaller
subsections, he turns a couple corners and returns with what

(13:30):
looks like a small tray of little, teacups floating behind
him. Like we do to some major hand or
other apparatus. It floats nearby.
You know, there's a cup for eachof you all and he sort of
wanders walking slowly almost with a small limp toward the
city area, he rests in one of the larger plush chairs and

(13:50):
places out to the large tray with the teacups on it and the
center of the room gesturing. For each of you guys to take
one, he grabs one and sell with his one.
Good hand and slowly begins sipping it.
I insist. My God.
It's really hot. It's a very hot, very bitter

(14:17):
tea. All of you.
Up. Demons will take a cup of tea
and sit down to I guess. I'll take a cup.
If I Am taking it. A cup.
Put it on my Lap. Moving it.

(14:38):
Burn your peanut off. What's happening that I take it
to be polite but I'm not drinking it.
Oh, okay, I know Mason, he's sick.
Like the hiring anxiety, where is already working?
Working boys. so, the most you can assure your companions here.

(15:05):
Can be trusted with information or should we speak somewhere
more private? Oh females kind of gives like a
long scan along the group. The most please go ahead.
We can wait. Okay, maybe.

(15:26):
Know or face or face, okay, it'sjust we've had, we've had
problems with, you know, shapes forward other things.
Sure. Yeah, you but none of us are
shapeshifters right now. I look at higher that's what the
shapeshifter would say. Not a good one.

(15:46):
Maybe the best one. Well, sounds like you guys
aren't fooled then, so not great.
Which is exactly why you should trust me.
Have you considered? I'm sure like, fucking home's.
No one can fool me. Higher, you do look pretty bad

(16:06):
right now. It's just worth mentioning.
We didn't mention it last time but higher you're like with the
how much psychic damage you took.
I mean you're eyes are Hollow and sunken.
You got like blotchy skin, you got sweat, rolling down your
scales. You're sort of trembling a
little bit. Your hands are Sonic.
Twitching you're not looking toohot.
Oh yeah, which makes sense as towhy he gets in the book if you

(16:26):
heard his Epic. On its dimmable scarf.
I really don't want to feel likehim Sorry.
Oh, it's okay. It's all right.
So she wants some time alone with your dad.
Restore to stay here. I actually forgot.
Malaga's is not here for the scene.
You guys. He's at home babysitting so oh,
that's right. He's not sorry, No Malice.

(16:47):
You're here in voices, God. You're hearing what he would
have said, fuck that bitch, we understand the most if you need
some time with your Parental figure.
Go ahead. Thank you guys.
You know, you could just call him by his name.
I mean, no no big deal about that.

(17:07):
Um anyways. Come on, looker.
Let's let's go speak somewhere. Yes.
We'll follow me and he leads youpass.
Some of the walls that bisect the room.
You know, this is sort of an open floor plan Tower.
There's ladders that lead up to high almost like balconies, that
look into the inside of this building with bookshelves lining

(17:29):
the walls and up the toward the ceiling.
Long ladders seem to stretch up high a way to access each of
these rows of bookshelves, he leads, you through the back
behind a couple walls. You notice, you're not fully
blocked off from the rest of thegroup so you're allowed
conversation, could still likelybe heard.
There was no door that you passed through that could close.
But nevertheless you're behind acouple more doors and he leads

(17:50):
you or behind a couple more walls and he leads you to a
small, looks like a little studyof desk leaned up against one of
the circular walls, with severalpiles of books and papers lined
on top, like someone in the middle of some sort of study was
here. He just for you to sit down in
the chair and he sort of goes upand leans against the desk

(18:11):
itself to watch and look down onyou.
I feel like I'm being interrogated.
The most. How did you get here?
What let you leave the plane of Kings Beyond with me?
Well, twerker. I the most sort of reaches, for

(18:36):
the Amulet of Mistral. He has underneath his, his, uh,
his new robes and, and shows it to do Volker, I found this this
old old artifact up in the storage addicts of the palace.
That, you know, no one, no one dared visits ever since.

(18:58):
Well, you know, and I found thatsurprisingly.
It's, it's just it had barely enough magic left in it to allow
me to cast just a little bit andI don't know it's it's what
helped me escape. He offers a A handout and takes

(19:20):
the amulet from you, you notice,he quickly we've some magic in
between this fingers, you identify this, as an identify
spell, he casted on the item taking a few moments and then
looks at it hands it back to youand it sort of crosses his arms.
And you see a scowl come over his face and goes the most I
can't believe you found something like this on the

(19:41):
plane. It wasn't meant to be found.
What what do you mean vulgar? I mean, it's it's nothing.
It's just it was just simple amulet.
I mean it doesn't do that much. What are you trying to say?
He sort of turns abruptly now and begins pacing right behind
you behind the chair. The most you don't understand

(20:03):
what that place is what it was made for you.
Thought, our plane was just a forsaken land.
A Dying World forgotten by the Gods, Know The Gods never
forget. I, what aren't you telling me?
Volker I the most are plain was sealed for a reason.

(20:25):
Something terrible was locked inside with us.
Many things. Things that should never have
known Freedom. He gestures wildly.
Now, frustration slipping into his voice and you, you found
some stray Ember of power, some gift from something lurking in
the attic and you took it, you let it carry you away.

(20:45):
Did you ever wonder? Why did you ever think to ask
what it wanted in return, and hepoints a finger at your amulet?
He must you. You must be wrongful guy.
I just found this by, by pure coincidence.
I went to dance and I land with the magic you found.

(21:05):
One little thing that could let you cast.
That is no coincidence. Oh, should I say, what?
Was trapped in that plane with us.
Okay. The most the Goddess that
forsake daughter playing did. So with purpose.
It is written in our homes in the plane of Kings.

(21:26):
There, she left things that grewBeyond comfortable magic grew
into something worse. Something that she couldn't
quite control. So she, of course, had a place
to store them a place without the magic, a place they could do
nothing. Even the most powerful Wizards
are brought to mere mortals on our plane of Kings ironic.

(21:50):
Isn't it with that name? But you broke the seal, you
traveled through the plane and if it's coming back, now the
magic, it's feeling the plane. That is how I got here.
I traveled through the same little Rift that you left open
the most any sort of comes in close now, behind you now and

(22:12):
puts a hand on your shoulder. I'm sorry that I left you there.
I left you alone to make your way out alone.
But I feared, I feared for myself.
I was selfish demos the King of Kings wanted me dead.
Same as you, and I had not the courage.
To face him, I hate the way, butWorld traveled that you escaped.
So I followed your tracks and itled to the forests.

(22:34):
It led to the rift that you created.
I knew it was happening too. I felt magic come back into my
hands. Flooding into that world.
It won't be long before. Something else feels its
presence too and now you're hereGod.
Do you even know what that meansthe most and he looks over at
you and you notice a bit of a smile come to his face but then

(22:55):
another long silence. He says softly, I wasn't running
toward the answers boy, I was running away, but I fear at his
found me all the same God I don't this this is all so much.
I I mean like I'm I'm glad you're alive.
I did, I assume the worst. Oh, so you and I really thought

(23:21):
this was gonna be some Grand reunion, but I need to
disappoint you. My boy, let's meet call myself.
I've been so stressed that Something will find me from the
plane. The King still wants me dead and
imagine what he can do with magic at his disposal.
He knows not of why the plane exists of what is trapped

(23:45):
beneath the castle? He just wants you and me his
failed experiments to die. I mean, sure, I mean, I well not
that I haven't had any contact with the plain sense, but I
mean, surely water deep is so far removed from from the plane.

(24:05):
I mean, have you made any sort of contact with with the plane
with Kings? Not the tall I came here because
I needed shelter. Real shelter, not just from men
with blades but from any crying eyes.
Well in the most sort of gestures to be a to the room.

(24:26):
It's seems to it seemed to work out very well for you.
Yes. The Water Deep quarts, does not
ask where you've been so long asyou're clever enough to be
useful, six of his head, almost disappointed, and he goes a
wizard, missing an arm, a lizardfolk relic of some forgotten
plane. They let me in because I know

(24:46):
things others do not and becauseI asked for so little in return,
So what here you are hiding awayfrom the problems of the plane?
Tell me the most. Do you seek to fix?
What is broken or are you here to escape same as I.
I didn't, I guess I never knew such a plane was, I mean, I was

(25:11):
something was wrong, but I don'tknow.
You you speak of something. Utterly monstrous and horrifying
that calls itself. Calls that that place.
It's home. I like yes, I suppose I
shouldn't hold this against you.The most forgive my outbursts.
I know, I have disappointed you in our reunion, but what this

(25:36):
happened can't be undone magic re-enters the plane and in my
time here in the Water Deep, I have tried to look in to
Solution. I've searched the Arcane
library's for information on this long forgotten, plane of
ours. There are few mentions old
forgotten texts, speak of a plane where things go to vanish

(26:01):
with no magic, but it was erasedfrom history.
There could be fragments of the truth here fragments of a
solution. But until then the plane of
Kings is open to the world and those within will continue to
spill out until the prisoners beneath the great Castle will

(26:22):
exit as well. Does gosh does demos know the
um, The god, or should I say theGoddess that took away magic
from the plane. Rome history.
Check. His story. 23, you do recall the

(26:53):
most with that history check, that it was the goddess mystra.
The goddess of magic that pulledall of the magic from your
plane. You recall.
This from discussions, you had with Volker right before you.
He taught you this and many of your sessions of attempting to
learn magic though. You recall back then that he was

(27:14):
less interested in how it happened and more interested in
potential small fixes. He looks like you now as you
sort of begin to remember and goes yes I know what to
counterintuitive the most That Itried to teach you Magic on the
plane where it wasn't permitted but I thought a small piece of
me thought we Mortals could finda small use for it.

(27:37):
It's actually vulgaria, I found learning magic even though I it
wasn't a place. We could really practice.
I found it to be. I don't know.
The one thing that kept me going, you know?
And now, since I've left the plane, it's the one thing that's
really flourished in my life andI've been very grateful for it.

(28:00):
He smiles now a sort of older charming smile of somebody who
spent a long time with his mouthand a scowl and he responds the
most, it is a Wonder to have youhere.
Perhaps your presence will give me the strength.
Find out what happened to our plane and perhaps fix it.

(28:25):
There can be no knowing of us inthe plane of Kings, if they know
about presents, they will send Knights and soldiers after us.
They will be scared. If magic has returned there, it
will be chaos. A worldly flooded with power.
It does not understand the King of Kings will want our throats.

(28:47):
You haven't encountered anyone from home yet, have you?
Oh fortunately me and well, my party.
We were we had an errand to run in this plane called the weft.
And surprisingly I of all people, from my plane I met the

(29:08):
the court butcher it's Worse andterrifying reunion to say the
least but goodness the most are you?
Alright it looks at you with a bit of a frightened look and
goes I know that must have been very challenging for you.
So sorry, it's it's quite all right.

(29:29):
After the initial shock, I I, ifI remember correctly, I think I
ended up getting a Firebolt or two on him and we did we did put
him down, which was nice. A long story short, he did come

(29:52):
back and, and he did Escape. But, you know, he seemed to be
trapped in the weft honestly, sonot too much.
Don't worry about the most. It seems your magical Nature has
grown only stronger. What talents you have?
What? This is not good news.

(30:13):
If the Butcher of all people stumbled out into the rift.
Who knows what else has found their way out of the plane of
Kings? Oh, this is not time for
celebration. It is a time for Well, not fear
anymore, not with you here, but we should look into this demos

(30:34):
with you here. Perhaps we could solve it
together all but I can't kill, but keep myself away from those
damned people. Yes, I'm sorry Volcan and I must
be hard on you as well. Listen, I actually have a
meeting tonight in the the Temple of mystra in town.

(30:58):
Oh, so, perhaps. Well, I'm there.
I can maybe I could commune withwith one of their One of their
Bishops or priests and and inquire some more about our
plane. This is an excellent idea.
I would also recommend spending some time among the greater

(31:22):
Mages of waterdeep in the black staff Tower.
The blackstaff tower. Yes it is just on the coastline
of waterdeep. I do not myself Venture there
for I have not the Arcane prowess to equal those residing.
Additionally, I also fear the truth, but the Wizards their

(31:43):
might have the knowledge necessary of mystra and the
Arcane to know of our plane unraveled.
The mystery. The most if you can find out
more bring it to me. I myself.
Am still too covered. At least to go and leave my
little Spire to find out more that's that's quite all right.
Okay. Right.
I know you've lived a long and troubled life.

(32:04):
So I think you Deserve this rest.
He takes another deep sip of thethe T in front of him and goes
the most. I wish we could have met under
better circumstances. I'm sorry to disappoint you with
this reunion once more. I only hope I can give you
Solace that. What you've done and escaping

(32:26):
the plane was a good thing. Yes.
I I should hope it was but only time will tell.
Yes, I should tell you one more thing the most Yes, welcome.
I I don't have the capability. I'm sorry to disappoint you once
more. We lost you for a second Mason,

(32:47):
I'm sorry. Yeah, you cut out at
capabilities capabilities. I'm sorry to disappoint you once
more the most, but I don't have the capabilities to teach you
anymore of the Arcane. My abilities are not what they
were. I thought perhaps coming to a
plane of magic and Arcane such as this, the material plane with

(33:09):
allow me but I could still barely conjure May chance.
I am only here for my knowledge,nothing more.
He gives you a quiet solemn. Look, I think the most sort of
gives him like a like a once-over with with his eyes to,
to Really, I guess grass the howlong it's been and the the

(33:36):
changes in his once tutor I I'm very sorry to hear that vulgar.
Um, I know it's I I would like to say that I would know that
these things would come back to you.
But listen, if there's anything I can do to help just on that

(33:58):
front, just let me know. Okay, of course, the most I can
continue to learn each day here but I don't have the facilities
that I, once, did you notice nowthat he does look a little older
than you remember, the most not significantly.
So, but it's something as weathered him, Perhaps it is all

(34:20):
this stress that he's been sharing with you, but he has a
much more ancient look to him. It's sort of like moment where
you sort of grow up and you've you've realized now that your
parents is just like a person, he doesn't have the
impressiveness that he once did.The most your friends looked
nice. I'm glad you were found people
to assist you in this world. I know the plane of Kings was

(34:44):
not a safe haven for you, nor was it even be a place.
You would want to call home. But nevertheless, it follows you
now it follows the two of us. If the butcher made it out,
there's no telling who else Kingof Kings will likely.
Send out Scouts nights and the banners to travel through the

(35:07):
rift to figure out what this is on the other side.
You knew the man, same as I did,there is no tempting that nature
of conquer. You see a like a troubled look
bethells. The most his face and he sort of
reminisces about the planer attack that father Lucius the

(35:28):
once her mounted. Hmm, that is quite troubling
Walker. Well, I haven't heard any news
of anything like that yet, so I don't know.
We can, we can hope that they haven't surmounted anything like
that yet. Yes, we can.

(35:48):
Always hope the most always, Forgive your old teachers,
incessant ramblings. I am still just a frightened old
man, I suppose. Oh, that's quite okay.
Here, you were very brave to even Escape.
The most I escaped soon after you.

(36:09):
I thought I would find you, but it seems we were sent to
different planes. This is a good sign.
That means the King of Kings will be trapped in whatever
planes. He goes to.
But the material plane is often times that of mini funnels, same
way. You ended up here, he might with
his Legions as well, but I outright the most for others.

(36:32):
We should consider them all in the maze.
Good. Very wise idea.
Volker Perhaps, um, OneNote, perhaps use a pen name when
giving out quests to to the guilds then Quest demos.

(36:54):
Are you here on a quest? Oh, well, originally we we found
out about you from a posting that you put up about a lost.
Apprentice, I think it was alongwith a certain book.
Oh yes. My old Apprentice Jorah a Pity
really, I didn't want her to go out and regardless, she ventured

(37:18):
out in to the undermountain, to find the tomb that I believed,
might have knowledge about spells that I could use spells
that could help me return. To the source of the plane of
our home. Hmm, dang.
And I I should say, Volker that.We, we took, we took the class.

(37:45):
We went down to the sixth level and we did find your Apprentice.
Yes. And I should say, though, she
seemed to go quite mad. At least I should hope she went
mad and wasn't originally like this because she began to build
like her own Undead Academy of sorts.

(38:08):
She was trying to teach animatedUndead individuals.
How to cast spells? It's all very strange.
How unusual I wonder if the tonecorrupted her mind such thing as
things are known to happen? I should have gone there myself
to find the tomb. But as I've expressed, I am a

(38:31):
selfish old man. It's quite all right, Walker.
Um, it's it was quite the Oddisharduous Journey to the sixth
floor. So I I wouldn't sweat it.
See and how attached the book where you I should ask?

(38:53):
Well, it is critical knowledge. If such a tone carries with it,
the ability to curse the mind ofits reader, then it should be
locked away in the vaults of water deep.
I still think it's a valuable asset and because of your
knowledge, I will likely write to another quest to retrieve the

(39:15):
book and bring it to me, so I may lock it away.
Unless of course you were able to find it, you know, it's It
was strange on the very last spell she cast before.
Dying was was she seemed to put the book in a sort of pocket
Dimension? Um, yes.

(39:36):
Oh, it just lost to us. Then roller deception, check
demo. I'm so deceptive, please.
This is gonna be the best. This isn't that funny I already
see it. Oh, 13, 13.

(40:02):
He looks at you, he sort of Squints his eyes and carefully
not his head. As he goes, I see the most Such
a Pity to lose an artifact like that and he slowly starts
turning back and you notice now he's back to sort of what you
again, almost call this like pacing behind you.

(40:24):
And he goes well, no matter, my assistant was a headstrong one.
Wanted to start an Academy of her own funny.
How these things happen? I suppose her loss will be
mourned. I will create a Trying to her
and contact the family in the meantime, the most you should

(40:48):
gather your friends tell them asmuch as you want about your
plane and form them, that there might be others who wish to
attack such as the butcher. Did I find honesty and he looks
at you now sort of drilling through the back of your head
with his eyes, he's the best policy when it comes to these

(41:11):
things. Yes, I believe you're quite
right. Okay, yes.
Um, well, I am glad how things went today.
Honestly, I the first look, you gave me.
I kind of expected you to throw me off the tower.
The most nothing would hurt me. So I was so worried for you.

(41:35):
I thought you would perished. I'm glad to see you alive part
in an Old Man's fears and stressors.
It's nice to see you. He circles back to the front of
the desk, now and places a hand on your shoulder and goes, you
have the courage. I do not the most, you might
find the truth of what this hidden beneath the castle of

(41:57):
kings and determined why? The king himself once you dead.
So dearly thank you. Thank you for telling me
everything for course. Let us rejoin your
acquaintances, I wish to learn from them more to see what type
of person you have Associated yourself with since you left our

(42:17):
plane come now and he sort of helps you up out of your chair
and wanders. Back.
In the meantime, back in the sort of sitting room of the
Court wizard, what the rest of you guys like to be doing?
Trying to get some here to arm wrestle.
Oh yeah. I'm not interested.
Sorry, or face one more. No, I'm not going to do it.

(42:38):
No please no. What are you going to say hi?
Hey Samir for what it's worth. Um, where where I lived?
Um, some kids had multiple dads and they were the Hat, the
family seemed seemed like a happy good family so there can

(43:01):
be multiple dads. All you guys Okay, I guess that
part's different. You don't have to put your arm
wrestling. Come on, come on.
I slammed my tablet, I won't know.

(43:22):
Changed. What do you mean?
What to change? I mean, you did last time I was
partially inebriated last time. Okay, so that's what.
Okay, so I bring out the door Bush fire whiskey for my back.
My God don't have the place of business or a face.
What I look around. Is anyone here doing business?
No one. Here is doing business.

(43:45):
Look, they're just hitting around what our face.
This is a Royal Court. We should respect it probably.
Back home. Everyone was arm wrestle in the
court just saying, I'm sure theyshouldn't standards here and,
you know, you, you come from a fancy little Courtyards, you
want people to respect your rules in there, where, like all
like everyone's arm wrestling all the time.

(44:07):
That's part of it. It should probably came up to
you and asked to arm wrestle andyou said, no, you'd be executed
not actually because she's very peaceful.
But socially ostracized, for sure.
That you mean you haven't been there?
Yes. Like with the queen?

(44:34):
Yeah. She would.
I hope so. You know, she's a queen.
Yeah. Or are you?
Because she's a queen. Take those words out of your
mouth. Is the strongest Queen in the
world. And so, she won.

(44:57):
Of course she would win. Is she physically strong?
Yes, Samir Oh, I don't know why but in all of your descriptions
of her, I imagine tourism what dainty know she is.
She's also very strong. Strong answer.

(45:26):
Yeah. I think it isn't like other
tests but look, you guys, it's strength.
Is it so much a master of appearance, as you know, belief
and powered of personality and she has all of those things in
spades. I believe you.
And again earlier, I guess what you meant about multiple fathers

(45:49):
and I'm sure in your plane everychild loved each of their
fathers equally, right? Right.
I mean yeah. A long time to say that, why did
they take you so long to say that?
I mean I think I think everyone's treated the same but

(46:10):
I'm just confused this all here smear.
I have a story that I think could put you at ease.
Yes. I also had a tutor who I
considered a closed parental figure.
And now she's like my main enemyand like problem in my life.
So just give it a few days, Devil's, the future, probably
also sucks, and then you're backon top.
Yeah, it seemed like he sucked. Yeah, I didn't like him as much

(46:32):
as I like you. Well, I or any of you got.
I I understand what you're saying or her face and higher
and I accept it is just the mostvery good.
He's a good boy. And I like, okay, I'm sure,

(46:53):
demos knows what he's doing. I'm sure I'm sure I trust him.
Of course, in Heavenly. It is just this guy seems, you
know, very powerful Wizards and at this point somewhere gestures
to the room you guys are in He'slike wealthy.
So severe is going to watch a live at his fuck.
I mean sodium is going to want to live at his place because
it's bigger. It is just a very nice spot.

(47:14):
This old tables isn't like that Samir.
Well I don't think he's like that and your space is also
pretty nice. Well, thank you.
That means a lot for the face. I hope that I can still at least
share some magic with the most. That is what I'm wearing about
most is just the most is very talented and if this fancy Court
wizard knows more than me, then fuck me.

(47:44):
New dad makes him go to school more often, so you're saying
that people don't like to learn is that through all of this, I
mean, you learned by doing you don't just like, sit down and
take lessons and have a good time.
Her face was the last time you've been in the classroom.
Yeah. Weren't we just at a school for
like that people? Yeah.
But they did learn. This is true.

(48:09):
I've never been in a classroom. Why, why would I be?
I sent tick to a classroom. Did you approve of that?
I mean, I don't know. I don't really Have opinions on
her education, I'm just saying. Like you know, it's probably
necessary rights like I learned and it's good to learn but I
don't think damos is going to pick the dad who makes him learn

(48:31):
more. Oh, the one who teaches him less
than Was Jews if I had a choice,if anyone wanted to be my dad.
Okay. That is good to know.
Thank you for this. Yeah, I'd be excited to learn
how you guys arm wrestle or backin Valhalla.
Oh yeah. It's at this, this point the

(48:57):
most you come back in. You see Orpheus and higher sort
of in gridlock Lettuce. Check from both of you guys.
I put my arm down on the table. Oh, I think we both have minus
to this, right. Someone rolled into Advantage.

(49:17):
I have disadvantaged them all ability checks, my God, he She's
just okay, there's one number you can roll.
I got a three and oral face. Got a two.

(49:37):
What with average? What's with pluses?
What do we got? Those were with the witness.
Wow, that's minuses. Oh yes.
It was actually both of us. Had minuses masonry.
We had minus is actually, oh my minuses.

(49:58):
You had? Yeah, yeah.
Like it went lower after the number happened.
Oh, you guys are busted. That is Grimm.
All right. He's gridlock demos.
You do see the two of them. It's it's pitiful.
It's really bad. I mean Dooms watching Jazz,
watching some years watching, everyone just watching this

(50:20):
happen guys. Well, what do we doing here?
This is, this is the court Wizards, place a business.
You should be resting tired here.

(50:42):
You don't even hear like barely on the table.
If you're just Wrestling, the sickest man on Earth, he's
winning. He's on fire.
Let me have this. I'm having fun.
Oh, all right. All right.

(51:05):
Um, I'll actually um, before we go or anything.
Um, Volker, do you have any swaywhen it comes to the, the magic
Academy? Volker.
Now, the court wizard returns and gives you guys all a look
and goes. Hello again, Friends of the most
Yes. I know a few names of the Mages

(51:27):
that reside in the magic Academyhere.
For what purpose do us. Have you ever heard of a wizard
named zappix? Yes.
Estabrooks, the boundless asshole.

(51:47):
That is how I feel about him. He once spent enough time with
me, that I lift down my guard and he took something from me.
Oh, It was this perhaps something intangible?
Yes. Precisely.
Yes. He's he's gotten me too and I

(52:09):
feel like a few other members. He's also gotten so I think he
took a moment to my time but I don't know which moment yet.
No, I think it was just you, to be honest.
A moment of your time. Hmm.
Yeah. You'll really like what he took
from me. His question was, can you lend
me a hand haha? That's extremely an enemy of our

(52:43):
enemy is a friend that guy fucking blows.
Yeah, yes. He learned of my time on the
plane of Kings I believe that this information was enough to
teach him that I wanted to learnmore about it.
So he spent many many days gloating and prancing that he

(53:06):
could take me back and send me there in anytime he wanted.
He sort of spits, a little wet flame on the floor now and go
fuc that guy. Yeah, he's he's sort of like a
criminal, at least in Circa things.
He was done his. I don't know.
I mean, I don't know how much Justice he feel like you have in

(53:29):
your veins but oh, It is there anything you could do if he
returns back to to watch a deep?I'm sorry, demos.
I'm a tired, man. I don't know how to solve this
problem. That's okay.
Volker. Um and then demos already gives
a look at the party. Yes.

(53:57):
Anyways so here are the fine people.
I have been traveling with. You see this this tiny blue
friend here. His name is higher little worse
for where he's just, he's had a bad day, don't ask.
Um, then we have faith, who was a night by the way and shakes

(54:21):
each of your hands with his right hand and goes.
Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, yes. Yeah, most beautiful.
Yes. You worked in a kingdom or a
face? Yes.
Most beautiful. Queen radio series Kingdom.

(54:43):
I see. What do you see?
Do you know her? No, I do not.
Oh, just Curious. Is it the plane of Valhalla?
Yeah. Yeah.
I know of your kin. Oh wait what?
You know of them? Have the guy who is involved in

(55:05):
something. I have.
You don't sound happy. Escaped prisoner cornered me in
an alley. Oh yeah, demanded things of me,
things like He took me for a wizard which I am and informed

(55:26):
me of dire need to return to hishome.
He said things were a Miss thereand he needed to go back.
He was a strong, man, quite frightening.
I thought I was getting mugged. Oh, sorry for that.
Wait, but did it work like, did you send him?
Yeah, I know not of planar magic.

(55:48):
I had nothing to offer him but the gold pouch which he happily
took. Oh, that's not very nice of him.
Shouldn't have done that. How much did you have on you at
the time? Little over 20 gold pieces.
All right, let me see. A 20 gold.

(56:10):
I'll hit him 25 gold here. It's mean it.
Honestly, he might not have understood.
Why? You were given him gold but just
gone along with it. He sort of cocks his head as you
say this and goes, huh? And he holds that his hand to
take the gold and then you sort of stops for a second.
He goes, he never asked for it. Yeah, I don't think it's what he

(56:33):
wanted. He probably just started which
was like, and I'm sorry gift andthen threw it in the trash or
something. Damn.
And with that, he does snatch 20gold out of your hands.
No, yeah. I was going to put out the quest
to capture him alive for questioning on my end thinking
him a criminal. But it seems you come from the

(56:56):
same place and have less violentpersonality traits.
So, I mean well, back home. I suppose he's just sort of
confused. I don't think he meant to be
violent. You say he's a big guy.
Now he might, I don't know, not know his strengths or if it's no
offense, isn't your career like organized crime.

(57:18):
What did you organized violence?Fuck my head hurts.
Describe being a knight I suppose.
But sometimes violence is necessary for greater peace.
I mean, it's not like Abel's never heard to fly.
He's a soldier. Just like the rest of them, but
he doesn't really, I don't show is no more violent than me.

(57:41):
Wouldn't mug. Some one for certain?
I'm sure he was just confused. Yeah, so sorry about that.
I hope this goal sets us right. Please don't send any
authorities after him. Yes, it is, no matter.
I have a much more pressing issue with the death of my
previous assistant Jorah, the most informed me, and he looks

(58:04):
now a demos and then looks at the group as he say that as he
says this, the most is informed me that Jordan was killed in the
book lost. That is a Pity, I sweat.
Yes. Yes, quite quite the pity is not
right everyone. I make eye contact with the
most. Actually, yes.

(58:32):
See. Actually the real reason we were
going for her was because we believe and you see here my
friend hire. His brother was um was was
enthralled by her in some Twisted way.
Oh, enthralled that he's she turned him Undead.

(58:52):
Yes. In in a strange way, she did a
very tone that is horrible. I am so sorry to hear of your
brother's pain and Agony. Unfortunately, I cannot, well,
there is no ability for me to chastise Jordan for her actions.
Considering she is dead now. So, instead, I hope my Solemn.

(59:15):
Apologies will do. What is become of your brother
now? They'll do.
He is alive if you can call it alive, he's with us.
Yeah, hmm. I see he looks at you now and
sort of you notice volkers, spending a moment glazing over
each. One of you bending a moment,

(59:36):
looking he watches Jaya for a moment, he watches or a face for
a moment, then Sameer and goes, how did you all meet?
Why don't we take a moment to introduce ourselves properly.
I just want to make sure my the most is with the right company.
I almost Amir is Samir Smiles. Neutrally at the so jealous,

(01:00:03):
he's so fucking jealous. We met James because he was
working in some of your store. That's how we met him.
Yes, it is a pleasure to meet you Volker, write a court
wizard. Hi status.
Very well done. Impressive and Samira approaches
and shakes his hand. Yes, I'm Samir.
I am the proprietor of the broken Compass, Samir or velas.

(01:00:26):
Hmm. A pleasure.
The two shake hands. Look at each other.
I thought the most quite a bit of magic with our time together.
Isn't that right? Oh yes.
Oh, some was a great. Great.

(01:00:47):
Um, tutor. And and friend for when I
escaped the plane he provided meshelter and lessons he's a great
person, great person, but it's all learn from each other.
The lizard full flicks out a tongue and goes.
Hmm. Sam.

(01:01:08):
He that was the word Fabrics. Took from him really important
words to him his name. Yeah, must have been well as I
informed the most and he steps away from Samir quickly, and I
was from your steps back, equally informed the most.
I am a homebody of a, man and old man and Twilight years

(01:01:32):
wishes to rest in his Tower. But there is some information
you all could gather for your friend.
The most, if you wish to travel to the black staff Tower, the
Wizards that are might have morefor you to learn.
And in the meantime I beseech you to reign in the fox from

(01:01:53):
Valhalla that come with you night or affairs.
Don't do my best but you know, it's not okay.
We're in a pretty bad situation and I just don't think it's fair
for you to act like Ablaze actions under duress, reflect
our entire population because you know okay diameter wasn't so
good. This gets doing fine now.

(01:02:15):
Doing great. I'm a model fucking assistant.
It's able to confused. Don't hold that against all of
us. I don't know who these people
are. I think that's fair.
That's his point. Yeah, right, well, yeah, phuc.
Yea higher. Yeah.
That is anything else I can do for you all?

(01:02:35):
Please let me know. I'm sorry again that your
brother and he looks you hire was horned by my assistant.
I wish I wish I could have been there to undo it.
I'm afraid. Please let me know if you hear
of the book turning up. I would so hate for it to go
missing forever. I thought you wanted it to go

(01:02:56):
missing. I wanted out of the hands of
evil doers. He looks at you now higher.
Yeah, he's the type of book thatcauses Madness, that practically
with melted the flesh, from yourskin and cause your eyes to fall
in the Halo, he looks at you even closer or higher.

(01:03:17):
The Good thing your assistant did her job.
Did you any of you catch a glimpse of what pocket
Dimension? Jorah placed this book?
My doggy name. Let me think for her, it was

(01:03:43):
just it was for Split Second. You see, it was actually quite
strange. She cast this very strange
spell. I think it was, it was Stone to
flesh. It was it made.
Things quite chaotic in the, on the floor.

(01:04:05):
We're on. So we did not really get a great
Glimpse at what was happening. I see he looks at you demos and
gives you a sort of small Smile.Now, give me another deception
show. Yeah.
Oh yeah. You're working for it.
We're working for it. All right.
Holy deception, please. Ah 19.

(01:04:27):
You so good. That's pretty good.
Yeah. All right.
He looks at you, he gives you a nod.
Now some what content with your answer and goes, right?
I will likely have to reach out to the Wizards of the black
stuff Tower myself and have themlook into all extra dimensional
planes in the dungeon. It will cost miniman hours and

(01:04:49):
likely many lives, but to find this book, it will be worth it.
No offense dude, but shouldn't you've done that first You give
you a look. I suppose I should have you know
hey no no big deal. I mean you know hindsight 2020
is not what they say everyone. Anyways, demos Young's it's it's

(01:05:15):
been quite tonight. Starts choking.
We should, we should really turnit.
And we have had a long day, unfortunately, but vulgar, I
would be glad to see you again even as soon as tomorrow.
The most you are always welcome here.

(01:05:36):
Please let me any sort of turns around.
Now in his place and dashes off to a desk.
The one he had been sitting out when you all walked, in digs
through, one of the cabinets andpulls out a small brooch, it
looks to Bear, the symbol of Water Deep on it, with a small
wand flashing, some sort of magic overhead.
This is all cast, and I'm metal basically a, some sort of

(01:05:58):
brooch. It's a little sticker that you
gotta put on yourself, just in something real.
Nice little embossed pin. He hands.
You and goes, this should allow you access to despair, so you
don't have to wait at that. God forsaken, front desk.
Thank you. Thank you.

(01:06:19):
Okay, that's it. It was very difficult to get a
hold of you down there. So thank you.
Of course the most. Yes.
Know the rest of you. Please look after my the most.
Keep him safe. Please.
I saw. What are you about him?
Yeah. Good.

(01:06:40):
Rights. Then please be on your way.
I hope you all enjoyed the tea. And is there anything else that
I can offer you now? He looks at you all Don't think
so. Doesn't seem like it.
Thank you for coming to me Moss.Thank you all for bringing the
most to me. That was a kind thing.
You did for an old man. It gives you guys all or not now

(01:07:04):
and helps. You walk out the door, as you
open the door. You notice his assistant stands
out, front, sort of giving you guys all somewhat confused a bit
upset. Look for having been kicked out.
But nevertheless, let's you guyspass and sort of steps into the
room behind you. You see here speak to Volker,
right? As the door closes going.
Oh, what was that? You guys were talking about.

(01:07:25):
And the door closes just as the door closes, also, Samir turns
to you demos and ghosts, the most, we kept that book, right?
The one that you just told him that we did, you know?
So maybe we should really get out of this place as soon as
possible. I think.

(01:07:46):
No, no, I just, you know, I feellike, who knows how thin the
walls are, you know? And and we should really take
care of higher, he's he was bleeding out of every orifice.
So we should take care. Aura looks disgusted.
When you mentioned thin walls and you see repel oh actually

(01:08:10):
really feel centered. So Um as we start to leave could
demos cast a evil spell. Oh my God.
Where is it? Oh my God, clear voyance.

(01:08:36):
Okay, what do you want to all right?
Cool you guys forget walking back.
Now cross the bridge and do you most you cast this spell who is
the subject of your? Oh I will be sending this to the
hotel room or should I say the tavern room that we all share to

(01:08:59):
see what malice is up to. Speak.
I can't believe it. This is crazy.
All right, you concentrate for amoment.
You guys all see the most weave magic something you've never
seen before and cast a spell, even Samir goes, oh, Deimos.
What is that? That is very cool and you all
the sudden can see into the room, the most, you get a moment

(01:09:22):
now to I guess you would you rather do seeing or hearing?
Oh see seeing, okay, so you create a little invisible sensor
in the room. A little I in the corner giving
you a full view of the room of your hotel looking in.
Now, you see the following site in the far, corner of the room
is gravy the cow tied up againstthe wall.

(01:09:46):
Looks like chewing on a big piece of looks like just grass
like Lee plucked from the, the bushes outside as well.
You also see hires brother Montelooks to have been tucked into
one of the beds. He is eyes are wide open though.
When he staring, right? Up at the sealing mouth slightly
open in a bit of drool leaking out.

(01:10:06):
And in the other bed sort of sprawled out on top of the
covers is Tick. The king cougar, girl.
She seems fast asleep. You see, subtle Rises and Falls
of her breath. As she rests their sort of
sprawled out, filling the space.You do not seem out like us
here. Oh, okay.
I guess, I guess that's all I needed to know.

(01:10:27):
All right. And you you still have the
Clairvoyance up for the next 10 minutes.
So, um, you can sort of check inon it.
I'll let you know if anything comes up.
Nice, nice. So, uh, Malik is not with tick
or Or Monty. He must be enjoying the

(01:10:47):
amenities in the lower levels. Yeah.
Honestly it's alright to be for the best for them that he's not
there, right? Yeah.
Yeah. I mean never left any other
person. Sorry.
No, no. These tick tick in Monte's

(01:11:09):
fastest, sleep, or at least takehis and gravy just chilling, so
they seem fine. I guess, I guess the question
would you even need someone to look at after them?
Like not be lonely, but I guess,I guess the alternative is
Malibus. Very clever.

(01:11:31):
The most, you can look into our hotel room without being there.
You're so powerful intelligent. Thank you, Samantha.
Thank you. You know, where's me?
It's just I suppose there's nothing more.
I can teach you, huh, I guess I'm done with that.
No, no, Sami, no. Not at all, not at all.

(01:11:55):
You know, I hate to say it, you know, I was, I was really
looking forward to meeting a Volcan again and maybe learning
a new speller to but that's really in whisper, it seems he
can't really cast any spells, really, for some reason.
So yes, that is. That is it is really tragic.

(01:12:21):
So no wizard without spells. That is very sad.
Yeah. What's what's the music
expression? Right now?
Completely neutral. He looks at you, he smiles, and
he looks back at the door of Folkers room.
As you guys sort of go buy it and he goes.
Huh! Well, I suppose that there is a
likely chance that in the future, he might learn some

(01:12:42):
spells but in the meantime, I suppose he has nothing to teach
you. That is too bad.
Yes. Yes, quite quite some well, I
suppose we should all get going.Now, I noticed we still didn't
get the financial prize that we were promised as part of the
quest that we did. What are we going to do with

(01:13:03):
that book? Because what it did to higher
earlier in that waiting room washorrible and I don't think we
should keep it. If that's the case, right?
Also, we really need the money. I kind of did it to myself.
Yes. But it is what you were holding
in. Your hand is what 1500 gold 1000
gold pieces higher that could goto Healing your brother then he

(01:13:26):
say he didn't even have gold, hesaid he was mugged in the
street. I think that is different.
I'm sure he can get some sort offinances from the the castle I
already. Know, I know, but my point is, I
doesn't sound like that money. I don't I Didn't get to that

(01:13:48):
Vibe personally. Yeah, I think you'll have a
tire. I mean, he works for a castle,
he likely Works higher. Are you cursed?
I think whether the book has hadan impact on me or not, maybe
maybe I'm not in the best place to be making a lot of decisions

(01:14:11):
right now. I trust you guys, we can hold on
to it for the night. Let you rest off of your pain.
That you took. In the meantime, I think that
meeting your old master was nice.
That was good. I'm glad you got the chance to
do that. Did you enjoy it?
The most. What did you speak about?

(01:14:32):
Of course, you don't have to share with us if you don't want
to, but how did it go? Well, oh, sorry.
Can you guys hear okay? It's done.
Um. Well.
He had some unfortunate news about my plane.
Unfortunately, it's, it seems. I mean, I originally thought the

(01:14:56):
plane was just well, quite cursed and that it was really
only sort of a jail cell for thepeople there, but it would seem
that the plane was keeping something in something that even
the most powerful Wizards would have to submit to.
So and apparently alleged to someone's fall, there's now a

(01:15:22):
tear in the plane. Yes.
Don't know who but he where's the dress?
Where's role for me? A deception.
Check demos if yours is higher. Well you know or persuasion?

(01:15:44):
I suppose. This is the rule like if You're
telling the oh they were all there.
Oh okay. Oh they piece some people rolled
so high. Dirty.
Okay. 16. Strong 16.

(01:16:07):
Okay. Do you guys want to roll an
Insight check? Hey, I got an 11 I believe Davis
implicitly. Okay.
All right. I got it, dirty.
The dirtiest sluttiest tool. You've ever seen.
Okay. You you do since you smell,
something's up Jaya. Demos might not be telling it,

(01:16:28):
like it is. Is there anything you know
telling us this is a safe space,you know you know where you're
friends. We Want to support you but you
know I feel like there's there'ssomething something there.

(01:16:48):
You know, Chaya. I know.
It can be tough getting older and age. can be hard to trust
those around you sometimes, you know, they most Hiding something

(01:17:10):
that you don't want to. Okay, listen and this goes to
all you guys. This is not just day most now we
just done this too. It just because I got a few.
Yes, just because I got a few old diseases in my body does not
mean that I am not capable of doing anything.

(01:17:32):
Clearly, I have died, not the most of a whole group.
I think this is a lot. Well, for what it's worth that.
Guy said he got old and just hold himself up in a, in a room
and yeah, so fighting your battles.
So that's true. Giant.

(01:17:53):
You are a brave Warrior. That man is seems to be some
sort of hermit who doesn't care about here.
And I'm kicking. Exactly.
I should Bar there last night, okay?

(01:18:20):
Anyways, back today. Most, what?
You know, I guess, how do I asked this?
How what exactly like is it doesit have something to do with
you? That you're not telling us, they
did you do something wrong and you know it's okay.
Everybody makes mistake again, you know, we want to support

(01:18:44):
each other. Wrong is such a strong word, um,
okay, okay. But you know, lay it on me, some
some might say that, you know, actions are neither right or
wrong, they just have certain consequences, sometimes the

(01:19:07):
consequences. Um, we're not so good for some
people. And that's okay.
And that's okay. We can all agree that, you know,
but did you know that the consequences would hurt?
Some people more than others? I'm sure I'm sure.
Whoever did it, did not know theconsequences.

(01:19:27):
We're gonna be such a. Yes you hi, you look sleepy
buddy. Are you feeling okay?
Buddy. We just wanted reason to trust.
You help help us out a little bit.

(01:19:47):
Okay fine fine. I may have opened up just a
little tear in a plane. No big deal.
It happens and it's not purpose.Yeah and it wasn't a way, it's
just you know, Escape you know, you know, can't blame a
criminal. I mean I'm not I'm not a

(01:20:08):
criminal but you can blame a criminal for you know trying to
escape a jail anyways, bad analogy.
Um, so yes. And now there is Magic leaking
into the plane where there was none before and okay.
Now, are you ideally, yes, if what Volcan says is true, that

(01:20:28):
there is something An abomination of sorts that was
meant to be dropped. Some redeemable qualities.
Oh, I think he. All right, this is too much.
I think we all understand wanting to escape from an evil

(01:20:51):
evil Place. Well I get that but lie on this
much about it makes you feel a little different.
The most is a trustworthy man. All right.
I don't know why you're all being so pissy about this
fucking dick rider dude. What are you say?
Call him that, no, that was, in that our friends, not who are

(01:21:15):
supposed to ride your dick, the hardest.
Whoa, We all believe you the most.
All right, it is understandable.That, of course, there was some
things in your past, that's where likely Troublesome and
painful to bring up, but at the end of it, you are still a good
person this much. I know, now, it does again, big,

(01:21:36):
the question, why did you lie tothat individual about us having
the book? Do you not want him to have it?
Is he untrustworthy in some way?Oh no.
He's he seems well, well he seems trustworthy.
I don't know. It's tough to trust people laugh
after his average. Honestly of course especially
since Fabrics has been known to be around here.

(01:21:59):
And I don't know. Know, so the reasonable
completely. But yes, assuming he isn't
average than yes. Yes, he seems very trustworthy
as for the book, though. Um, you know, I just, I felt
that higher, you know, he's working on it right now and, and

(01:22:20):
we can really turn the book in whatever, honestly.
I suppose but you are the told him that it disappeared into a
dimension. So he does, he think us a liar?
If we come to him now you know? Um we can live but now we're

(01:22:44):
trying to reprimand this situation.
Are we not? Yes.
Yes eventually If it's gonna benefit more people in the long
run. Yeah.
Oh suddenly lying is okay and that makes me feel sick because

(01:23:08):
I feel like you can't trust us. I feel we do have a reason to be
private outside of the party butI hope we can all be honest with
each other. We're telling lies.
Oh, you know, you know sometimesone would like to protect some

(01:23:29):
some information about themselves, you know?
No big deal. It's just small insignificant
details, really protect information like from who
others? Which like us others are like
others, others. Um, anyone others, I mean, you
know, it's right there are things about you.

(01:23:50):
You wouldn't tell me, oh, I think we should be on us to each
other. I mean, sure.
Sure. Of course, you know, there's a
level of honesty that I think weall expect from each other but
you know, sometimes it's wrong for a companion to save face a
little bits white lie. Yes, I thought we were closer

(01:24:18):
than that. You know, I guess it's a little
hard for me because this is the first time that I've really had
a group of companions or friends.
Should I say it's not used to, Iguess saying that much about
myself to other people. So okay, I apologize.

(01:24:41):
It's something I can work on, for sure, for sure.
So much part was the LIE. I was like it was more just
concealing the truth which I get, hmm.
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't really matter who opened the tear in
the plane because you didn't saythat.

(01:25:02):
It wasn't you. I, I just said that, you know,
whoever it was was just doing with what they had to do.
And that's okay. Right.
Oh yeah. it was a very bad place.
Um, I would not wish. Yes right.

(01:25:23):
Yes. But see how you told us and
we're on your side. Oh, he's not worse than malice.
To make it better not run away from it personally just because

(01:25:44):
a plane is like a living hell. Sometimes you just have to try
to do it, what you can to make it less of that?
Well, we don't know what they most has been through its
supposed that's true. Could have been bad, but we
would like to know more. That's that's very, very kind of
you all. You know, we we can get more

(01:26:05):
into it later. Let's, let's just get home first
and just take a load off, you guys have crossed the bridge.
Now, descending the tower, making your way back through the
Grand, Castle, passing the many great portraits, the tall
chandeliers, and the Beautiful velvet rugs.
You passed many of the officialswho reside here and it's late in
the day. Now, most people seem to be

(01:26:25):
collecting their things to go home if they don't live in the
castle, and you guys do or heading out, you exit the front
Gates. Now, and the sunset on the ocean
is beautiful. You walk further, making your
way back out into the Regal trade District passing under and
through. It's about this point that your
Clairvoyance spelled the most passes up and you lose sight of

(01:26:49):
the room. Nothing changed in your view of
it tick tossed and turned a little bit halfway through but
no one came in or left. Wow I guess smelling his last
longer than 10 minutes. Interesting.
And you guys continue walking through about halfway down your
walk. Samir asks the most, I know you

(01:27:09):
said you didn't want to talk about it more, but you did seem
pretty insistent on leaving their quickly.
It did something happen that made you upset.
Oh, no. It's well, obviously, I think it
was, it was probably best to getthe book out to the as soon as
possible. And, and if anything really,

(01:27:32):
it's just there. When velcro talked to me, we
sort of made it clear that we both have goals that line and
well, it's better to act on themsooner rather than later.
Do we do? It's just, you know, we want to

(01:27:54):
read it to little bit more, I think and then we can return it,
you know, it's like delayed reward.
It's always good morning information, right?
Yeah that's true. I mean I didn't expect you to
say that he's not Kirsten anymore.

(01:28:19):
And I mean, I just don't want you guys to get cursed as well.
It would be nice for me to thinkthat I'm stronger than Dora.
I'm sure you are through Lee. Well, maybe I don't need more of
the book anyway and if it helps us to sell it good.
Yes. Yeah.
I will say, I feel like we should at least try to find a

(01:28:40):
way to make sure the vulgar isn't actually averix before we
hand it over. Just, I didn't into this thing.
Is that, what are you have? I mean it's it's it seems he's
well known amongst these this place and Valkyrie did mentioned
that he had at least one run in with him.

(01:29:01):
So I feel like it's would be unfortunately a little too easy
for him to take up the mantle ofCourt wizard.
Even with that awful, man, terrible.
Just the worst. I understand your reasoning.
I just we're all on your side onthis.

(01:29:22):
The most if he scares you in anyway or he threatened you, we
have the right to know to defendyou.
Well, thank you Sam. I mean besides that first
comment there wasn't really any threats.
Luckily the first one really scared me and obviously, well,
good thing, he, well, allegedly can't really cast, so we should

(01:29:44):
be fine. Yes, that's good.
It is all that. He's a court.
Wizard to can't cast spells. I'm surprised he made it to that
rank. I can't Wizards here honestly
the nun from from your plane know, but just in general,
right? It doesn't seem like a
trustworthy position of That, what are you trying to say or

(01:30:05):
first Wizards? Of this guy.
Little stranger. That's sort of power just
because of knowing magic, there's nothing, no inherent
morality magic, it doesn't demonstrate, you know what I
mean? It's a lot of power to give

(01:30:27):
someone just for their to be in smart.
Smart, doesn't mean trustworthy.I suppose you have a point or if
I guess, I think I think when itcomes to running a court
sometimes sometimes the potential advantage of knowledge
outweighs the need for traffic. Just.

(01:30:52):
Yes. And you know I don't know.
I feel like I'm sure he had interview at least, you know.
That's true. He does come from a foreign
plane. I sort of get the feeling not a
lot of people come from Planes and also want to work as Court
Wizards. Maybe he was really just the

(01:31:12):
knowledgeable guy. Yeah, I suppose, you know, one
of the many benefits of getting education and, you know,
learning and sitting in a class not that you have anything more
to learn about the most, Yeah. Fuck that sort of bad vibes with

(01:31:34):
them recently. I, I feel like, I feel like that
sort of like, it doesn't relate.I mean, it was, it was a one-off
thing. There aren't many classes like
that, how can we know that for sure?
Only one I've experienced okay. When it sounds like, we all need
to go to the academic district and take some classes together

(01:31:55):
because I'm sure it would, Tie you to a chair make you and then
we're gonna kill you again. And that was Carter.
No classes could be fun at and water.

(01:32:18):
Maybe your face. I can't understand.
Do you guys want to learn or not?
What is said you guys didn't want to learn you learn by
doing. And and is reading some books
sometimes. So true.
Hi. So so true.
Look like a little of these guys.

(01:32:48):
All right, as you guys passed through.
The city of waterdeep enters into a nocturnal State.
All the lamp posts are lit and you find many of the daily
Walkers, about the folks whose main jobs, involve them wander
out, the city, taking things from place to place, slow down
for the evening. And they're wondering is
replaced by the wanderings of The Nightlife Nobles, in high

(01:33:12):
colored pleats and fairy fine form-fitting clothes, wander
around looking for nightclubs, to venture into finding live
music on the side of the road isquite common here.
And many of the roads, you guys passed by, you find sort of
refined sense of nightly fervor people walk about your looking

(01:33:33):
for bars, looking for evening entertainment.
And there are quite a few numbered of ladies of the night
who seem to be wandering about two noticing your group.
Every once in a while, you'll see a woman in a Scarlet, Red
Dress sort of wave out to you guys.
There's so many. People women in Washington DC
polite and scared wave. Yes, they seem very friendly.

(01:33:59):
Maybe they want to talk. Yeah, maybe I don't know.
She likes, you know, she's looking at the most Um, also I
the most as you walk, you thought it might have been just

(01:34:19):
your eyes adjusting to the lightoutside of the cave.
But now you realize that you're mutation has evolved.
Oh, what as part of your mutations have gained some
strength as well notice. Now that your eyes see just a

(01:34:40):
bit better in dark. Now better than before.
In fact, now you are up to 120 feet of Darker Vision.
Oh, the flip side of this thoughis that your eyes are
significantly more sensitive to light more specifically the
street lights here. The lamp lights are almost

(01:35:01):
blinding. If you look at them directly
they look like looking at a son you sort of think back and
you're like oh damn the Sun. The actual sun is gonna be a
nightmare. Oh God to a passerby you the
rest of you. Guys, also notice that demos
just eyes are now swirling, and circling like little galaxies.
Oh yeah, beautiful eyes gaze into my eyes.

(01:35:24):
Oh, I'm lost going up. The line now.
Higher, You Feel You Really Gonna Love this?
No different Amazing and no worries.
Thank you, you're mutations. Have evolved.
You still wobble a little bit when you stand still like a

(01:35:45):
drunkard and you still sometimeshear the distant call of a fine
refreshed, drink calling out into the night, But nothing that
you can immediately tell is happening has happened yet.
Great. Great.
Um moving on to do alumn now do alum?
The radiant light that shines through your body is slightly

(01:36:05):
brighter. Now, it shows out through your
eyes a little bit. It's hard to tell in like,
lighted areas even low. It's hard to tell but in
complete darkness, it's almost like you have two little
flashlights. Additionally Doom.
You also feel a bit more of a strong connection to Metals.
You feel this happen almost suddenly and you find just in

(01:36:31):
practice holding out a coin in your hand.
You can ever. So slightly repel it from your
body floating off of your fingers.
Just a couple inches or robot. You you can't do much more than
a coin. That's about the weight limit on

(01:36:52):
your current thing, but you basically have a, a free Mage
hand for coins. Look them around.
That's I mean Magneto, just needcoins.
I'm Gonna Fly soon. Just putting the coins under my
shoes, baby. I'm all their.
Or a fast, your Inky skin has gotten a bit more potent as

(01:37:16):
well. You can now do a 50% of your
body completely blacked out. Holy shit.
And now unlike before, when you focus on a tattoo, it appears.
And when you stop focusing on it, it stays there.
Oh, before you sort of have to have concentration out of the
whole time, but now you can yourlittle emboss a little of Queen
British e can stay there permanently.

(01:37:37):
Okay. Can I make a second?
Sure. Yeah.
Make one of her dancing on my inner forearm, perfect, you get
it in there. Um it takes you a while to get
the proportions right? But luckily because you can sort
of redo it over again you are enough time figure it out
awesome. Additionally or a face, your
fingernails, the iron of your fingernails has grown a bit.

(01:38:01):
Now you find the tips of your fingers are in metal as well.
Tap things and make some very loud because I think good like
metal touching something. It doesn't feel any different to
you and you can still sort of feel through the the ends but
pushing them against things. It's like yeah.

(01:38:22):
Effectively each of your fingershas a metal tip.
I'm like, drumming my fingers against each other as we walk
it's sort of have to think you have to get used to is now
closing and opening your hand makes us like noise every time.

(01:38:45):
Yeah. Currently Jaya has no mutations.
We can change. One top priority, finding Red
Hands, did you find them? Get them.
Figure it out. It's pleased immediately.
I would like your finest mutation.
Okay. Yeah, that is my update for you

(01:39:08):
guys. Thank you.
So excited and you guys now find, you are back at the
Flaming bore, the great sign forthe beautiful lavish looking
masquerade. Ball is still up and you guys
make your way inside. You find the warm Lush.
Very it's so quiet from the outside.
It's almost hard to tell that there's a usually a small party

(01:39:31):
happening in this in every nightconsidering the thick walls as
you had inside though. You notice the tavern floors
filled with drinking buddies andit looks like large parties of
individuals eating food on top of that.
They're all seemed to be some finer, individuals, or the
refined of society throwing whatlook to be little events in
small rooms. After the side with a dark

(01:39:53):
glass, windows sort of bisectingthem for the main rooms you guys
I think so we're falling for that.
I think the the Nobles here seems to have quite A different
lifestyle than the the common man.

(01:40:13):
Oh, guess oh, isn't that a way everywhere?
I guess so. But it is stronger here than in
circuit. Yeah, it's, I would say, in
circuit, it's even way stronger than it is in Valhalla.
Well, circad people are literally separated by floor.
Are they not and Tower? That is true.
But I mean, the richest man in the poorest, man.

(01:40:35):
Aren't that far away here? It seems like there is a
mountain between them different than my home too.
Just interesting to learn the differences.
Yeah. Hmm.
Oh, one more thing. You guys began rising up the
stairs now making your way to your room.
The most one more thing that manVolker your previous tutor.
It mentioned something about thespider, a tower a wizard tower

(01:40:57):
near here. He said we could go there to
help you with something. What was that about?
Ah, yes. He was thinking that the Wizards
at the tower would be able to help us gain some more
information about the tear in the plane that someone created
was created. Is that something that interests

(01:41:24):
you like? Do you care to fix the 50
airplane? Or do you want to just leave it
behind? I either way is a good answer,
they and you owe them less, you know, as much as I would love to
do nothing about it. Oh it sounds like really bad
things will happen if we don't tend to this and I would feel
guilty sense. I may have had, you know, that's

(01:41:48):
the hand in opening though. Only a small hand than doing it
though, right? They exactly exactly the
smallest hand, right. You were just trying to get out.
So yes, it is someplace. At least I will have to go check
out but you guys can come along if you want.
If you want to talk some more Wizards be fun with Wizards are

(01:42:10):
fun or face you should come too,you can meet the Wizards of a
quart. Or if I just remember when we
walk through how like not, we walked Volker through.
How not all people from, Valhalla are bad.
Yeah, perhaps not. All wizards are bad.
I don't think they're like evil.it's just like Wizards chose to

(01:42:40):
be Wizards and it's just like itattracts US Virgin personality.
That's I can't believe this. I think sometimes it's just
like, like, who wants to sit in a spiral all day?
You know, I've heard sometimes the wizard life chooses you

(01:43:04):
Know. Disease.
This on this plane. Isn't that something that you
are guarded friend told us to godo or Affairs is to go watch the
performance of one of the actinggroups?
Why would I listen to that? Jesus Christ.

(01:43:27):
Also for the record washing performance is not as bad as
like talking to actors, you know?
Okay. Yeah, so there's that.
So look at the Spire. You know, spiders cruel, it's an
achievement but Talking to the guy inside.

(01:43:47):
Or if you can consider actors Liars.
They can be. Actually.
I don't understand you sometimes.
Why do you feel this way? It's just annoying hobby.
It's like, would you forgive us if one of us became you, it's

(01:44:15):
just annoying, you know, it's like even though he's a wizard
because we don't have to talk about wizard stuff.
But if you pitched Davos to be like, hey, do you want to go
meet my wizard friend? I'd be like, probably not.
You know what I mean? Anyone know, I don't understand
another agree. There you go.
I don't understand. This.

(01:44:37):
What if they comes and queen Radisson asks you to be an actor
for her you know some some Grandplay and she needs as your Royal
duty to be an actor. Genuinely January.
Look in my eyes right now. I pull up my goggles.
That's my greatest fucking fear.Probably the worst thing Queen

(01:45:06):
here to see. Could ask me to do.
Probably yeah. And would you deny her?
know, I do it if she even if I didn't want to do it I would
have to trust she knows better and you know sometimes Wizards
know better Or if I think you would play Hamlet.

(01:45:37):
Well, sorry. It just a literary figure.
Fucking books. Back room.
Now, you open the door to yours.Samir gives you guys a wave and
for his and goes. All right.

(01:45:57):
I I suppose I'll see you all in the morning.
Um, the most, I'm glad you got to meet him.
I'm glad that he is a good friend of yours.
I was worried we'd have to like,attack him or something.
And I'm glad that didn't happen.Yeah.
Yeah. Good.
Good day. Glad glad there was, no, well,
not no Bloodshed but not from him.
At least. Exactly.
Now get hired to sleep. You go to bed, hire, you look

(01:46:17):
awful. I feel the best I've felt in
days. I can't believe that.
Your brother. He's probably in there and he's
probably safe and alive and thatwill be nice.
Yes, yes it is. It's more than I've had.
Good. Okay, good.
That he opens his door and headsin.
You guys go into your push in after him.

(01:46:38):
Oh my God! He doesn't open the door if he
sees you go and party. He just has a handle on a face.
You need something. We had plans.
Remember, we're going to build the stuff.
I've been drawn all day. Yes, that's right.
But I need to prepare myself forthe evening first.
Okay, wash up. If he would be, alright, can I
come get you in four to five minutes?

(01:47:00):
That sounds fine. Thank you.
I appreciate your understanding.Oh, yeah.
Looking forward to it, buddy. I walk away.
He doesn't open the door until he sees you leave.
All right, inside of your room you find tick is still here.
Sort of splayed out on the, on the bed beside her on the other

(01:47:22):
bed is Monty who looks still pretty Haggard slack jawed and
in a daze, but Awake and Alive, and the corner stands, the Beast
gravy, and otherwise there's no one else in here.
You have to figure out where youwant to sleep.
Oh God. Or starts getting a corner,
furthest corner from the cow. Can just say about the beds.

(01:47:51):
I know it. I know it's weird.
I have been sleeping under your bed.
The fans finally got to him. If you know in the spirit of
honesty, my brother and I had a bunk bed back home and this kind

(01:48:18):
of felt like the closest thing. So it helps when he wasn't with
us, it's not a guilt. Trip higher, excuse me.
That's that's that's okay. I understand, I'm glad you were
able to derive some some solids from it.
But now what will you do? Now that your brother is here,

(01:48:41):
you see? I mean, I don't I, I don't know,
I haven't thought that far ahead.
You look over at him, he's stillsort of slacked out looking at
the ceiling. At this point.
You guys all here, a very blood curdling scream, come from
behind the wall next to you guys.
I've had enough. I want them out here.

(01:49:06):
No, I want him out. I'm done.
I think about like this is too disgusting for me.
And he said, two women in here. Get them out of here.
You walk out into the hallway. You see Malik's with looks like
his shirt off pushed into the hallway.

(01:49:28):
He's just pulling over a greasy white shirt and you see a green
coat packed under his hands stuffed under there and he he's
looking back desperately with sort of a goofy grin on his
face, as he looks at Meir who isin the door frame pushing up
from behind him. Looks like he Malaga said
invited some prostitutes into his room.

(01:49:48):
Oh God, I can't with you Mulligans.
I can't anymore. I putting my foot down.
I'm not. No I'm done.
I can't do it anymore. I can't.
I'm sorry. I tried.
I really did. I just this is ridiculous.
You can't you can't get away with this.
It's not right. I agree.
Yeah. Rally, what the fuck?
Go back. He's got this goofy smile on his

(01:50:10):
face. She said what I needed?
A clean room. I was gonna okay, good Instinct
there but you have money. Could you notice?
We just got like, 30 Goldie eachif it was so important to be
worth one goals and also just, it seems Samir really values.
His personal. Why?
It's, it's fine. I was gonna leave before I got

(01:50:32):
back. No Malik is.
You aren't I can't know. I I can't believe this Samir
looks at him with his Stern neutral.
Look, he turns back a moment goes by and you see two very
nice looking women, get pushed out of the room.
One of them looks to be in her 30s with a beautiful white
dress, on the other looks like amiddle.

(01:50:53):
Aged tobaccy woman was sort of amangle Sorry ladies no hard
feelings and they both look at him and sort of turn their noses
and walk down the hall. I'll try to like stop both of
them and give them each a gold and shake their hand and be like
sorry for the trouble. They they both look at you and

(01:51:13):
they look at Malik kiss. And they you see the younger of
the two grabs, it wordlessly andgives you a nod and Malaga
turns, it goes, RFA has come on.I lost like an hour of time that
I had already paid them. I don't want to speak to.
You give me a moment. Give me a moment.

(01:51:35):
Sorry for the grease. Starting for the room situation.
Um, just sorry in general. There was no grease.
It wasn't that bad? I whispered to do them to either
of the women look like sabrix. 15.

(01:52:01):
Okay. You look at the two of them sort
of gazing now getting a feel forit and you determined know you
don't think either them or just not right?
Neither of them give off the vibe of him.
They look like they could just be prostitutes.
I don't think so but that would be a clever disguise them him

(01:52:22):
It's in charge rooms if it was of.
Like, so, I mean, I, I think, I think malagos is allowed to do
what he wishes with others. I don't think that's the issue.
I think the problem is the place.
Oh, come on. Why are you guys being so at
least it's all right. It's all right.

(01:52:45):
Now and goes, I thought you guysbe more understanding.
I mean I wasn't exactly subtle about this being my plans for
the evening. Yes.
Looks sort of offended and goes,oh, he can't heart.
Heart guy for trying. All right, it was oh whatever.

(01:53:08):
Fucking, you know, like why why his room why?
It's the cleanest one that just worked.
Your first free. Well listen I sort of I didn't
expect him to get so pissy aboutit.
All right, he's sort of points. A hand at some errors.
Still standing in the door frame.
With this very livid. Look on his face, he speaks up

(01:53:31):
now and goes listen, I've had a hard day.
All right, we had to meet demos'previous father, who is nice by
the way, great guy. But that was a lot and now
you've soiled my room and I can't even bother sleeping in
this bed. It looks filthy.
I don't know what you even did in it.
I won't sleep here. All right, I'm gonna go get my
own room. Congratulations.
Well, I guess you got your own room.
You did it. God.

(01:53:51):
All right. And Samir walks out of the room
now, you see he's picked up his backpack stuffed, a bunch of
things inside and walks his way to the front desk, to get
another room. This, what the fuck?
What I thought. I don't know.
It thought I would sort of be funny.
Why she's so pissy. It's an invasion of privacy also

(01:54:16):
kind of gross. That's why I see.
Well. Okay listen, I feel bad.
I seem to have done the yeah. Yeah.
All right. Maybe go pay for his room.
Yeah, that. Okay.
Yeah. I fix it.
Yeah. All right.
This alone won't fix it. Give me the money.
I'll go hands to him. And then, you know, Know, maybe

(01:54:39):
don't let him see your face for a few days.
Ah, okay. Yeah, what you guys figure out
by the way I thought wizard, youknow what?
We'll talk about this later. Yeah, he reaches at a point
person picks out a handful of coins and drops them into your
hand or if I just double this. So we can get a nicer room than
the one he has before. Yep.
You know what, you're so right? Yeah, here we go.
Yeah. Then again, pulls up more.

(01:55:00):
Yeah, he looks back and looks atthe rest of you guys gauging
opinions. Aha.
Yeah. All right.
He drops another large handful into your hands good.
Yeah, that's better. Okay.
You're the money. Okay, you go back to Samir.
He said the front desk. Now he seems to be calmly

(01:55:21):
ordering another room. Yeah, here.
Some money from malaga's get thenicest room you can get for this
much. Oh no.
That is that I thought a face. I'm okay.
Spending my own that is fucking ridiculous Samir.
Please spend his money. Did he offer this up or did you
take it from him? It was a good idea.

(01:55:48):
The money good. Okay.
All right. Yes, I will.
All right, he gently takes it out of your hand now, and places
it in his own passing. It across to the front desk,
men, the clerk, and they seem toexchange some words and some are
terms back to and goes, oh, thank you.
What a face. Listen!
I I walked it off on my walk down the status here and I feel

(01:56:09):
better. Sorry if I upset to you.
You didn't. Yeah, didn't do anything wrong.
He's housebroken for sale. That was funny.
Thanks. I honestly I shouldn't have
expected much more. He seems like the kind of person
to pull this off in and I suppose maybe I should just get
used to it, right? No.

(01:56:30):
Not just all I I hope it's I wish she'd just gets better
because I don't feel able to leave him behind but it would be
understandable if the rest of you wanted to it.
I don't know what to do about that.
No, it is, it is. All right, let's just go back to
them. Now, I cooled off just from my
walk, it is just a personal thing that I have with the

(01:56:54):
quality of my room and knowing that it was soiled in such a
way. Really upset me, that's all And
I care almost not at all about the quality of my room, but I'd
rather sleep in the muddy pit. Then anywhere Malaga said been.
So it's not just you guys. The rest of you guys can simply
hanging out. Malice is standing there.

(01:57:15):
Awkwardly looking at the rest ofyou guys and go on.
Hey, do you think I screwed thatone up?
That seemed pretty bad. Really, I think you Know that
problem landed and other time. But right now, that really
fucking stung giant. All right, so I think I'm gonna

(01:57:36):
go in this new room that I have,and I'm gonna sleep it off.
So, I'll see you guys whenever. All right, he stepped into his
new room. Closes the door behind him so I
do it and the problem or a face.You arrive back up the stairs
with Samir Samir. Looks oh, did Malik is go inside
already. I want to apologize.
I think I yelled at him. Don't apologize, Sameer!

(01:57:58):
You have nothing to apologize for and neither do you try?
Yeah, okay. Okay, well so we have a long
day. I hope we can enjoy our night
piece of peace with the finances.
That Malaga gave me, they gave me a room on the top floor,
which is nice, but it means I'llbe a bit farther away from you
all. So, um, I can bring snacks and

(01:58:19):
breakfast in the morning. Oh, now we'd love to see you
then. Yes, I believe we have a big day
tomorrow. Right plans to investigate the I
suppose. Do we want to look for your
friend or Affairs? He looked turns to you.
I would like to meet him at the ball and suppose we need to get
clothing for that. That's, that's all I have

(01:58:42):
planned. Should be fun and also it we
could stop by that Tower and seewhat the Wizards have to say.
I think it could be fun for us to talk with them, you know.
Be happy to go by the tower, youknow.
Or if I know this might be troubling for you but you
actually are a spellcaster now, it's not.
It's it's I didn't. I never said about the type of

(01:59:02):
Personality that choose is to bea wizard.
I did choose. So, you know, keep that in mind.
It was just like I was saying, sometimes it chooses you.
Oh god, I didn't even think you could have been talking about to
me. I didn't want to wield this much
mad magic either, but it happens, it happens.

(01:59:24):
I was also born with it. Well, I guess not born the
magic. But um I'm sorry to have that
Outburst. I'm sure you were all in the
middle of preparing for the evening.
Yeah. to do now that's most Choice burnt off, but just gonna

(01:59:48):
leave it. Well, you should join me
upstairs in that new, you know, class you don't for our You said
you wanted to build something, right?
Yeah, yeah, no. I have all these.
I pull out a stack of the paper demo earlier.
That's covered in sketches. Yeah, no, I'm there.
I'm totally there. I was just giving you four
minutes, right? I might need a little longer to

(02:00:10):
this time. I just feel a little unclean
after malagos. Okay.
So, like the last three minutes and 50 seconds didn't count
towards that timer. No, I don't think so this.
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Alright, then, I will see you
all otherwise, in the morning, I'm excited for the day.
Yes. Okay.
Right. Yes, good.

(02:00:32):
He walks off now, upstairs leaving you guys to each other.
Ulam. Um, could could we speak maybe a
second, of course. What do you want to talk about?
Um, like I don't know, maybe just like outside the room for a
second. Out there. um, no, but just

(02:00:55):
something I I wanted to discuss and I Feel as if you just have
the right mindset for the for it.
Sure. If you think this door is
hindering my mindset, let's go through it.
Uh thanks, beer back everyone. I guess.

(02:01:18):
All right, if you kids step out into the empty hallway, um, I I
guess I just wanted to say, maybe I shouldn't have read the
book and I can't really take that back.
Now, if I become like Dora, thatwould be chaotic, would it?

(02:01:38):
Not most likely? But and then I sort of like,
give you a look up and down. I don't think you're turning
into her. I when when I was talking about
the ritual to bring back my brother, I had a thought.
I didn't recognize as my own andI admit I would it's something I

(02:01:59):
thought I could decide but I I don't think I'm the best person
to decide it right now. When it comes to the death,
sacrifice, I admit I was I had, I had father, Lucius in my and I
think that came from a place within me that maybe wasn't

(02:02:24):
thinking pragmatically, look, I think the point being is, I
wanted to give that as an optionand I hope between now and the
days, we have left, And we couldfind maybe someone better or oh,
my God, I trust your decision isI trust.
Your say is what I mean to say. Well, thank you but I don't

(02:02:49):
think A thought is necessarily something you should apologize
for. I mean, I hear crimes are crime.
And the end, you didn't offer itas a solution.
Well, they feel like I did to you privately, just now and
away. I look around and realize that
we're alone. and you know, like I was only offering it to you

(02:03:17):
but for now but it's I'm part ofme still considers.
It is what I mean to say, well, I don't think we should do that
to Father Lucia's. I mean, he sort of has the best
life he can right now. I think, yes, I I agree.
I just, I hope we can find a more that someone else, I guess,

(02:03:38):
as bad as that is to say, I don't think we have to do this
in an evil way higher. If you don't want to, I I don't
know what else to do. Well, we can start by
investigating how the church didit.
I mean, they said they had connections before and I know
that changed, but they're likelyis someone we can talk to
perhaps the city and, and we, weare about to go learn books as

(02:04:02):
well. Okay?
Um, I think we can do this in a very good nature.
I hope we can. Thank thanks, but that's it.
Maybe you're right. This dorm kind of been
hindering. My thoughts.
Go over the opening again, you going back inside.

(02:04:23):
Golem heads, back in to where Jaya and Oro or sort out demos.
Chaya. Does my hand really look like?
Does it look okay um how does your hair look like right now?
Burned partially by the Ooze. My mustache.
You looked out. Oh it is.

(02:04:44):
It is spotty. Oh

(02:05:07):
for your hair. That was a different life.
Can imagine being a person who is constantly fucking up here
and growing it back. That doesn't mean so far.

(02:05:27):
Well, it's such a thing exists. We should get one.
Yeah. Because we were both not in
great condition. I mean, I think, I think at
least for you maybe if I if I brush your hair a certain way
you might not be able to see theball patches It's really spotty.

(02:05:48):
I'm gonna try to brush or at least like, I don't know, like,
breathe with my hands like to see if I can cover up some of
the balls. You run your hands through a lot
more hair. Comes out.
The bits that come out. You just your hands are full of
it now. Um, yeah.
I mean you definitely think if you want to clean it up soon

(02:06:10):
it'll take some magic other thanthat, you're just gonna have to
live with it for a while, don't worry?
Yeah, you know, we're in this together.
Yeah, you know what? This doesn't make us less of a
person. Again though um, malaga's has it

(02:06:36):
worse. So yeah, I mean, if I find it
solution to my problem, I guess I'll well I don't show the plane
before us to give it to him too,but maybe he deserves it. but I
don't know if I perhaps Prep. All right, so you guys are
entering bedtime modes. So what um what stuff do you

(02:06:58):
guys want to do before you get into a long rest?
Um, I want to go check up on gravy you.
Are going to go to the shower and like blood just drowning in
it. So it's like, okay.
Sorry, sorry it is Grimm. Yeah, I clean yourself up the

(02:07:22):
most cleans himself up a lot of Faye as you want to do anything.
Yes, I don't, I would never be speaking to Malaga first.
You guys put him in timeout for the evening.
He's got himself in time. That's true.
I was probably a service. So hard.

(02:07:44):
Immedi. Went back in.
They never check under the bed. All right, you head back out or
a fast start with you you head back out and up you recall
Sameer giving you his room number.
You ascend a couple flights of stairs up to the high.

(02:08:05):
High fifth floor of this building pretty good from
medieval architecture. Yeah there are a few rooms that
all look to be just a hair of higher quality than the ones you
guys were in. A bit wider, a bit nicer doors,
a bit, quieter up here. For sure, seems to be the main
benefit and as you sort of wander for a bit you find the
door you're looking for and you see it's closed.

(02:08:28):
All right, you go to open it back, you open the door wide
open, it seemed to have been unlocked inside.
Samir, doesn't even bother turning around to turn to you
and goes oh, okay. Yes, I'm glad you're here.
You know, the seats bent over sort of kneeled in front of
something with his back door andtoward you.
I'll go ahead and peek over her shoulder.
Watch. I got there, you look down.

(02:08:49):
You see, he's got some ingredients out for
spellcasting. You don't identify with spell,
they could be for but there's quite a few things all laid out
in symmetrical Rose elements. Definitely making an Arcana
check. I don't want to know what's.
This is what spell is this? All right.
Give me an Arcana. Check 21 baby.
That's pretty good. Are you recognize components of

(02:09:12):
transmutation magic? This seems to be some sort of
transmutation spell meant for a humanoid.
Samir turns around and gives youa grin and goes, I'm working on
something. It might take me more than just
one night, but I think I have a solution for the Petrified man.
Oh, nice. That's awesome, man.
I'm excited. It will cost a decent amount.

(02:09:33):
But luckily, a mini of the ingredients, they actually had
down there in the dungeon much of those oils and flasks that we
found in the kitchen room. You recall Just What We Needed?
Good luck. Excellent.
Can I make an Arcana check to see if I can improve, whatever
he's currently doing? Yes, give me another role.
Let me just fix this for you. I just sort of like push in

(02:09:58):
front of him and started push them out of the way.
You look at it immediately you can see some space-saving
things. You you can you get, you gauge
what the Spells about you've cast?
Some transmutation magic and some deep part of you that you
aren't aware as being like extremely intelligent with
Arcana sort of comes out and youimmediately know how to fix
this, you dive in and you, you know, decide.

(02:10:19):
Oh this part. You don't need to use this other
part. We can save some money by not
using these components. And you just let down to almost
like two thirds of the initial components.
Saving a ton, do I can cast thisspell?
Now you are. Yeah.
You also, you know how to put ittogether?
Here it is gonna be long, but asSamir thought, it might take
multiple days. You have a way here that you

(02:10:41):
think you can get it to cast in about eight hours of ritual?
Casting, awesome, okay. Oh, I can work on that or if you
want to work on your project if you could just show me how you
would do it. Haha.
Yeah it's Show them all the steps dancing and and such as

(02:11:02):
you show it to him he nods his head several times throughout
the the interaction and goes oh I see okay, this is interesting,
I'm surprised I impressed me that you know this very well
done. A simple.
When you think about this logically, can I use your tools
while you're doing it? I guess.
Of course, I set them all out for you here and he gestures and
you notice there are in fact, a huge swath of tools, set out,

(02:11:24):
sick, okay? Well, he does the ritual
casting. I would like to get to work and
make two of my artificer infusions.
All right, you know, it takes you a better part of an evening
to do that. I won't make you exhausted just
to make your infusions, but we'll just sort of role play
that you stay up with some air and the two of you work on this

(02:11:44):
for a while, you know, notice throughout the evening, as you
guys are working on this, that he is than usual, Where before
he would have liked me said, very little during his moments
of crafting tonight he wants some of us like so out of this,
what did you think of the most is older?

(02:12:07):
Mostly honest. I might be a.
Too much of diameter for Comfort, but so long as he
doesn't see any of us as a threat I suppose.
It's not threat to us. Oh that is an interesting way of
saying it. I sort of agree with you though
about that he not diameter but he reminded me of, I don't know.
There are some teachers who are kind of teach through theater

(02:12:29):
and he seemed like he is scary. Guy is what I was thinking.
I also thought he is scared a guy.
Yes. Right.
Yeah, I don't know, I guess I'm not so scared of him though,
especially if he can't cast spells, but I know better than
to believe that. Oh, you think him to be a an

(02:12:52):
unimpressive spellcaster? Oh, I mean if you can't have
spells he's no threat. Not being able to cast, any
spells is to make us. Thank you.
Can't cast any spells? And then we think he's not a
threat, and then he cuts her head off, you know?
Oh, I see. But that could be an issue, but
that is a likely chance that he might just be old.

(02:13:14):
It's not impossible to imagine an old wizard who doesn't
remember as much as they used to.
Just thought it's very, I had a show.
What? I'm from nobody gets old.
I suppose the same is true for you more or less.
Yes it it is sort of what I comefrom people basically have their
every wish granted. It is a land of prosperity.

(02:13:36):
It's Crazy that's just from somewhere like that.
It's the harder to imagine what you to be like it's already yeah
hard to explain of course but asyou could guess it is a there's
something special about it of course.
Yeah. I mean that I think that
something is a genie that grantseverybody's wish. so, it's nice.

(02:14:00):
I would love to show it to you to all of you guys someday.
That would be nice for me. I suppose for me get you there.
Well I'll get to see it. Do you think the genie could
send me home? Maybe.
Um, I I honestly don't know how he treats people who arrived
from outside planes, sort of a new thought for me.
Yeah. We've never had any outside rest

(02:14:21):
of my plane either. Don't.
I don't know. I think, yeah.
I don't know what to do. Like if you all came to
Valhalla, I'm not sure you even.Well I would have thought she
couldn't but since we went to that lizard afterlife, I suppose
you can I suppose you write thatthis kind of prove that it's
possible, right? Yeah though I wouldn't recommend

(02:14:42):
any of you accompanying me therepersonally, you wouldn't.
I mean you know well I like it because it's home and it's where
my duty is. It's not a fun place to be.
Oh, why is that okay, it's an afterlife Samir, and it's not a
heaven. It's not a hell either.

(02:15:03):
I don't think, but it's all Warriors, they want to fight.
That's what happens all day, pretty much.
And it's better because of whereto see.
She's made a, you know, an area,what are people can?
Imagine prospering one day for along time, we couldn't do that,
but it's, there's no prospering to be done so far, I see.

(02:15:24):
This is the first you've ever mentioned this Tomatoes, every
time you've mentioned your planebefore, you've talked about it,
like a Utopia. I didn't realize it wasn't
actually heaven to everyone know.
I I'm not so sure. It's heaven to anyone.
Well, some of the people like fighting and I suppose, that's
where the problem comes from. I see, the way you talk about
it. You like it, right?

(02:15:45):
Or is that just for show? Ah, I would never do anything
for a show. Um, but it's Like is a sort of a
frivolous word to use in regardsto Valhalla.
It's not like it's fun but it's where I went, it's where I

(02:16:05):
belong, and I have the opportunity provided by the
grace Queen where to see to try to make it better place for me
and everyone else there that is,well said on her face, I like
the one to make it a better place that is makes me happy.
Of course you have to believe it'll get better otherwise it
definitely won't, right? So I believe it's all get

(02:16:26):
better. Why do you want to go back there
so much? If it's not even heaven?
And this, this is the real world.
This is home. I understand that for many, of
your compatriots from Valhalla, they might be occupying other
people's bodies against their will but you're not, you're
occupying a girl who didn't careabout you, who doesn't even know

(02:16:47):
you. I, I watched to make Valhalla
better by certain Queen Regency,but as of right now, I'm not
trying to get back. That's this moment.
Um, rare disease current orders that I should remain, where I am
and try not to obstruct Islam too much.
Oh, that is hurtful. Do you plan on following that?

(02:17:10):
Of course, I plan on following it.
Okay. I yes, sorry.
I hope I didn't upset to, you know, it's fine.
I it's like, do I like Valhalla?Do I want to stay here?
No, but I need to follow her to see his orders.
So yeah, I stay for now. You need to follow her needs to

(02:17:31):
yes? Why?
Sorry. I understand.
This is a lot of talk about. We can drop it for now.
You're doing. Yeah.
Maybe the project by the way. Did you leave us screwdriver
here? And he starts talking shop again
and drops it. Okay, I agree believe return to
talking shots. You guys spend a while working
on this. What artificial infusions are

(02:17:53):
you making did, okay? Of course, the first thing I
create is the gloves of thievery.
Now, I would just like to make it so fucking clear.
I don't know the gloves of thievery.
Dora faith. Of course, I accept the plus,
five bonus to slide of hand checks.
Well, not be used for thieving purposes.

(02:18:15):
These are artistic sleight of hands and invention checks.
Okay, fucking nothing. No pickpocketing will occur
here, you can just call these the gloves of tinkering in fact
that's that's Canon. Now these are my gloves
tinkering second. I'm gonna make some boots of the
winding path that will allow me to teleport up to 15 feet as a

(02:18:35):
bonus section. And lastly, oh and of course, my
final Arcane Fusion remains in the form of lettermen's servant.
Nice. Yeah, I trick out my boots, they
got metal bits weren't around onhim now.
Sick. All right, you got all these
infusions it takes, you all set them all up but you trick out

(02:18:57):
your boots, you trick at your gloves.
Gloves of? Oh yeah.
And they're all technically invisible.
The gloves are. So I like to think they're like,
a sort of fine like, hex mesh over my hands.
It's like in the right light. You can sort of see a little
golden, you know honeycomb printbut most of them you get very

(02:19:19):
classy. What's gonna say right?
And is there anything else you want to work on?
Orem know, that's it afterwards.I want I'm done.
I'll just kick back on some earsbed.
And like me but just like, no, no.
Two feet to the left. Yeah, there you go.
He's goes in on his ritual, thenhe gives you a great.

(02:19:42):
It's a neutral. Look, I should say.
All right. And then I suppose up next I
would like to call out is the most horror Faye's Thief dropped

(02:20:05):
tinkering gloves. Is that what they're called
though? I don't think it.
Is right? We're leaving.
Just, I don't ya. Who's we?
Completely understood. So, um, I suppose, we'll shift

(02:20:26):
gears now and the end of your session Sameer does sort of go
to you or a face, you know. Oh, you're really good at
building magical items like that.
Have you ever considered sorts of asking the rest of the party
if they want anything? I bet you and I could build
stuff together. That sounds pretty fun actually.
Next time you see them, it pitchit, it could be fun.
I'll mention that we don't have to waste money on store hours.

(02:20:50):
We can just build it ourselves. Wouldn't that be nice?
I don't know. Yeah, cool way to pass the time
here. Yeah, I think so awesome.
That is exciting. Okay profile.
He clasped by Joel. I think somebody I think he's

(02:21:14):
Giants calling me. I need to go now.
Okay, bye. Why would I walk out you head
back? Also, in the middle of the
night. You guys are all prepping for
bed. I don't know how you guys want
to sleep. Back in your room.
Both beds are taking him by sortof a zombie and a child.
So, It's like Jaya, where you going?

(02:21:36):
I'm probably gonna sleep with gravy.
With the cow. Why do you say?
It like that. you know, I just, I just like to know and I'm
going to sleep around a gravy tokeep him so safe.
Keep him. So I don't have children to

(02:21:57):
protect anymore. So I'm protecting a fucking cow.
what are you keeping him safe from Malaga's.
I feel like, Me or something. I won't eat your couch.

(02:22:30):
I chill. I'm not here though.
Malicious, got my own room, baby.
I'm going up. He's a fucking slut.
Slut. It's a slot.
If you pay for it. Yeah, I just went to the slate
and horror room and unfortunately, everyone, there,

(02:22:51):
you All right. No, no, none of that.
None of that demos. Mmm!
Yes, you slip out in the middle of the night.
While the rest of you guys are sleeping, Doom.
You catch this with your passiveperception, the most sort of
wakes up in the halfway, throughthe night.

(02:23:12):
Puts on his heavy coat and stepsout of the room.
Can I stand up? Yep.
You stand up. Oh, and kind of walk over on
top. They was on the shoulder.
You're you've got the door halfway opened.
It hasn't weeked much and you think you're making it out.
You feel like a tap on your shoulder?
What are you doing? Sorry.

(02:23:34):
I just want to remind you if youneed help.
I would gladly accompany you. I'm very good at cleaning.
That's what the church needs forme, right?
Oh, cleaning of sorts. I guess it.
If you really want to come do myI wouldn't say no.
Great. Then, let's go.
Let's go. All right, you step out with

(02:23:57):
him. Everyone else in this room which
orifice is not here. So remaining is higher and Jaya.
You guys don't catch anything asyou're resting throughout the
evening higher. I suppose sleeping beneath your
brother. Oh yeah.
This is what I've actually been working for my brother is safe.

(02:24:20):
I can finally sleep have bunk bed time again.
Thank you. That guy's fucking crazy, man.
Somebody calling Animal Control.We got a six signal so you the

(02:24:42):
two of you do love and demos head out for a walk.
On your outing first, Doom, you notice you guys are in fact
going toward the the temple District specifically and it's a
it's a nice afternoon walks. I don't know what I'm saying,

(02:25:02):
anymore. I lost it all.
Okay, here I thought it, ah, it's late in the evening now
just upon the crest of midnight.As the two of you guys go
walking through the city, the temple District just right next
to your own in. So it's pretty easy to maneuver
your way to fit this late at night.
Even most of the lanterns have gone out a sports few here, and
there, still remain lit to guidethe path.

(02:25:24):
And it's not devoid of life in the streets.
Oh, however, that sort of classiness of the nighttime vibe
that you guys experienced earlier, seems to have devolved.
Now, when to evening, drunkards,and the city watch who wander
about, they don't seem to be a lot of people around here who
are doing moral good. A lot of the jobs that happened
this late at night, sort of, Shady innocence, you see people

(02:25:47):
doing deals on the edges of streets trading money, people
rolling dice in alleys embeddingon it.
Similarly, there's a lot of latenight seems to be happening that
is no longer a sophisticated butit's become a bit belligerent.
So a lot of people spill out of the bars nearby you guys and
fight in the streets. Nevertheless though the city
watch keeps a close eye on it all and it's not Lawless in any

(02:26:10):
sense. It's just the different side of
a city you guys make your way into the temple District now.
And you notice that tonight, there is some sort of procession
a group of 10 12. Looks like, 15 and total men and
women in white, robes walking slowly and a line down the

(02:26:31):
street. Each one of them Bears, a tall
Lantern on a, basically, a little poll.
That's seems to extend about 10 feet above.
Each of their heads, a top each of their heads, is some sort of
mask. It looks like a drapery of
Chainmail that covers their headand sort of droops down a little
bit past, their shoulders makes them all impossible to see and

(02:26:52):
determine what they're doing butthey walk slowly and you guys
give him a bit of a birth as yougo.
A few moments go by you turn a couple more corners passing, the
procession goes in a different direction, and you guys
eventually end up in front of the temple to mystra.
The temple looks closed. There's Darkness inside the

(02:27:13):
front too, large wooden doors orshut.
Don't seem to be any signs of life here.
The most, this is where you leadthe group, you guys.
What do you want to do? Oh gosh, I guess I'm Gonna
Knock. You go to knock on the door
Deimos it is or whether it sounds Hollow bum bum bum

(02:27:39):
echoing out through the inside of this specific door.
You don't hear a response at first and instead you're just
met with silence. But after a few more moments of
this silence, you hear a quiet voice on the inside who goes
there, It's me the most oh demos.
Yes. Um from earlier, right?
Yes, yes. The one with the undead problem.

(02:28:03):
All right? Yes.
Yes, the yes. The quite and the door slowly
opens and you see the face of the priest that you guys had met
earlier. The figure looks a bit, sleep,
deprived and tired sunken in eyes and a less sophisticated
look than he had before his clothes, or well worn in for the
day and the like they need a wash, but he opens the door and

(02:28:24):
guide you all in. Now I didn't know you'd have
company. Oh, don't don't worry, this is
just my tamatan pay. No mind that he's on this.
I'm a great record. Excellent.
Will he be joining a ritual or oh, He.
I was thinking that he could just observe, he's more of an

(02:28:48):
observer. Yes, right.
Yes. So we can have him sit outside
somewhere. Find a nice little spot.
Sure. I mean, is it okay if he's in
the room with us? I mean, he's quite valuable and
I just don't want to leave him lying around, you know?
Yes of course, of course. Don't worry yourself with this.
Come on in, you're an auto name,right?
I've met a few of your kind. What is your serial number, sir?

(02:29:10):
Pull up. Hi, they call me doom.
Doom. What's an excellent name?
It's very sophisticated. Thank you.
Show me the mess. Oh sorry.
He he loves he loves to to clean.
I mean if you would like him to clean he would be happy to
Clean. You must understand.

(02:29:31):
So you're here to perform mistras ritual?
Yes, yes. I know.
Yes. I know it.
Cleansing ritual. uh, no young also known it is not.
It is a ritual of pain and Thomas.
Oh, are we participating your friend is?

(02:29:53):
Yes. Hook up a demo.
I give Doula a silent pat on thehead.
Oh You know, I'm I'm sure this place could use a cleaning, you
know, was this part of your early verbal contract?
Uh, with, with my Priestly friend here.

(02:30:14):
Yes, yes, it was. Oh, okay.
Well, I guess you have to do it then.
Yes, yes, uphold my promise. Why did you bring me?
I mean, you offered to tag along, you know?
And, you know, just just to be safe.
I was like, you know what, it might be nice to have someone
just around just in case, you know, thanks go badly, but I

(02:30:36):
don't think that. Well, so great.
I guess I can protect you. Thank you.
Yeah, just keep an eye on you just like, just like the priest.
That's where my dog in the priest.
He gives you sort of an odd lookand goes.

(02:30:58):
I'm so confused here, right? Right this way, then the two of
you I've set up the chamber, it just be us this evening.
Also known you do. Good to look after your master,
there's a chance. This might hurt him permanent.
Oh look after him, I don't breakI contact with the breath.
Right. Good.

(02:31:20):
Well, as worshipers of mystra, you'd both know, of course, that
the lady herself offers special privileges to those who take on
the suffering of her greatest Scholars.
Many horrible and Powerful spells.
Those only the greatest Majors can cast cost increasing tolls

(02:31:41):
and mystra. In her endless wisdom has took
it upon herself to take some of the toes from the greatest
Wizards and impart them on us lesser folk.
So that we may learn and grow and in return, she grants us
favor. Today, the favor that I used to
ask and rather the favor that she aims to extend to you as a
decrease in the amount of cost, it might be to revive that

(02:32:06):
kobold you brought in early. Yes, yes.
That is what we're looking for. Of course, depending on the
outcome, she might offer more orless.
I asked her mouth will speak herwords and give you what she
offers. Unfortunately, I can't tell you
right now what the extent of it might be, it's simply depends on
your ability to survive the trial.

(02:32:28):
Well, good, good. I'm quite confident in my
ability and mystra to guide me. Thank you.
A good good. Yes, you are a strong fellow.
I can see. I assume you've done this
before. Yes, but it's been quite a long
time. So a little, you know, refresher
might might be worthwhile. All right, follow me and he

(02:32:53):
leads you to the back of the great chamber.
The, it's a beautiful beautiful shirt.
There are stained glass windows everywhere that seemed to
Glitter In The Moonlight and thepews that are dark oak.
Almost take on a black or purplelike quality.
And the dim light, it's quite gorgeous.
It leads you behind the altar behind a set of looks like

(02:33:13):
double doors leading into a private Sanctuary.
The sanctuary then leads to a trapdoor on the floor, which
leads down a deep dark, set of stones stairs.
And at the bottom of the stairs,in front of you was a long
stretch of corridor. You walked out with the priest
in front of you who sort of Silent dulum you walk behind, he

(02:33:34):
turns over his shoulder and goes, do you have any questions
for me at all about the process?I could just start explaining it
to you but I don't know. At this point, I always get
awkward about how much you want to talk during all this.
No, please please go on. I love to well learn haha.

(02:33:55):
Fucking free. You guys reach the end of the,

(02:34:16):
the hallway. And you notice, there's a small
cubby off to the side, the Wizard, the Who the priest takes
off his robe and places it in the small cubby on a coat
hanger, he takes out another robe from inside a beautiful
blue robe with constellations that look to have been woven
into it and gold thread. He places this on now almost

(02:34:39):
like a ritual and gestures to you and do them.
Please put away any items of value that you might have that
could get destroyed in this process.
It can be quite unruly in there.If you have anything delicate or
valuable, believe it here, I canguarantee it won't be touched.
Oh, I guess I'll pack everythingexcept my like clothes that I'm

(02:35:00):
wearing into like my backpack and just leaving the hallway.
All right. You place it in this little this
cubby dulum. Yeah, anything I think could
possibly be broken. I don't have a lot.
You guys place it away in this small closet.
The priest gives you guys a nod and goes behind this door, just
the Chamber of Sorrows, it is a place of Miracles.

(02:35:22):
It is also a place of burdens, the greatest Mages of our age.
We their Spells at terrible costand mystra and all her.
Mercy offers to spread that suffering among those willing
to. He opens the door now, leading
you both into a tall star strewnroom.
The sealing above you is stretched out with beautiful

(02:35:44):
stars. They look to have been magically
placed their sort of creating a sense of an endless sky, right
above your heads. You can sort of see through the
illusion a bit though and see where the actual ceiling ends.
But nevertheless, it offers a sort of spaciousness to the room
Beyond it is what looks to be a small, circular room, roughly 15

(02:36:06):
feet by 15 feet. There is no exit to this room
and as you walk in the priest, throws up their hand and you See
flickering blue torches on the walls.
Light up that don't seem to castany Shadows, the chamber itself.
The floor is carved from obsidian and floating above the
center of the room is a great shimmering tapestry, not of

(02:36:29):
fabric. But what looks like raw and
writing memories. You can tell from little
pictures and Echoes that scream out from the tapestry Echoes
like distant screams it shifts every once in a while and you
see a picture and image almost it twists into remnants of a
almost like a first person pointof view of casting powerful and

(02:36:52):
endless spells. You see the whole thing, shiver
and churn and twitch, and weave floating just above the ground,
the priest Jester's to it. Now, and goes this, we politely
call the spelled burn, the remnants of those who touched
Divinity and burned for it, You see, he gestures to the floor

(02:37:13):
beneath this tapestry. Now it's inlaid with silver and
seems to be a circle with runes around the outside, to take on
their sorrow is to endure failures.
Anguish and lost the more you bear, the greater the price,
that will be lifted from your friends, Revival.
All you must do is Step within that Circle and you will be

(02:37:33):
punished by the Divine Mr. Teaches us to spending eight
hours within the circle, will remove all costs of your desire
but very few can last that long,please feel free to tap out at
any time and this is where you are.
Awesome, know will come in. If you see your master faint

(02:37:54):
early you must pull him out as quickly as possible.
I will try to do so my say but those who fall within the circle
suffer from it and I should warnyou it depending on your
strengths your Constitution you might walk away with Barely a
scratch or you might walk away with a permanent scar.

(02:38:16):
I can't promise you. This.
All I can promise you. Is that it will hurt.
Right, right. Oh, sounds simple enough.
Um, all right, you, are you ready to watch me, Doom?
Yeah, I guess so. Nice.
Nice my friend. It will be confusing for you
when you step in, you're likely.See visions and hear voices of

(02:38:38):
those who touched the Arcane, you must simply ignore the stay
in the moment. Listen to your companion.
Listen to myself, I will whispera prayer of mystra in the
background for, as long as you're willing to endure the
pain, I shall whisper prayers towards you.
Thank you, thank you, priests. Oh, I guess the most approaches

(02:39:00):
the circle. All right, you step forward the
moment, your foot crosses, that silver line, the rooms on the
floor, Blaze to life, and the air around.
You seems to fold in a pressure builds up behind your eyes, a
searing heat and all of a suddenvoices voices of wizards of
Mages of sorcerers, they flood into your mind and there is no

(02:39:27):
warning when Agony hits you A demo at this point, I would like
you to, please join me in my mini game.
The Chamber of stars Oh this, this one's simple.
I'm gonna just have. You do hourly endurance checks,
um, with it, which is a constitution, saving through
nice. Um, depending on your role, if

(02:39:49):
you beat the DC, you will take abit of damage.
If you fail, it, you might suffer more damage and if you
fail, the DC by five or more, you might risk, gaining, some
sort of permanent trauma, or disability, or some sort of
magical affection, and any pointyou like, you might pull out
unless, of course you die, whichthen will see what happens.
Oh, looking at demos, can I use a new class feature?

(02:40:18):
I got. All right, would you like to
use? Um, I'll sort of put my hand
out. He doesn't have to touch them,
but have some gear Spin. And I would like to give demos a
magical Shield. Why?
Okay, what is this do? Yeah.
Um, I essent Lie. I spend all of my sorcery points
to give you a DA like Ward per sorcery points.

(02:40:43):
So I'm gonna give you 5 dates, I'm Gonna Roll them.
Dang get ourselves some damage through shielding.
Very nice. Whoa, if only like like a cleric
was there to like give you like like a neatly like a boost, your
constat feel like a magical spell.
All right so um go ahead and roll that shield for me and tell

(02:41:05):
me what you get. All right, you get 23 hit
points, don't burn nice. All right, go ahead and add on
those 23, I guess temp, HP sick,holy cow, I'm so buff.
All right, the most you step in and Agony strikes, you it is
painful your body sort of seizesup and you, as magic Burns

(02:41:27):
through your veins. Please give me your first
constitution, saving throw. Here we go. 19.
Holy 19. Oh, 19.
That is above our first threshold.
Nice! So um unfortunately there is
suffering that comes with every part of this spell or this, this
ritual. So you still undergo a bit of

(02:41:50):
damage but being well above it you will take the minimum of
that which is I got a big role on my 2D 6 though nine psychic
damage. Holy it's like so just to sort
of explain how this works the way, the pain Burns through you.
The most is your vision is filled with a kaleidoscope of

(02:42:10):
sort of mismatched memories thataren't yours.
You could tell they aren't yoursand they don't completely
consume you, but they do over me.
You fractured incantations and shattered spells fill your mind.
You feel yourself sort of being torn apart by all these
different, these memories not physically being torn apart but
mentally somewhere nearby, the priest watches and his lips are

(02:42:33):
moving and Silent prayer. So nine damage, you take the
first hour goes by and you sustain it.
The free snods to you and you gofor the second one, the DC has
increased. Please tell me another
Constitution saving through God.We've seen other 19.
Oh, a strong, strong nine. Strong nine.
All right. Um, yeah, that's that's not

(02:42:59):
great. Strong nine.
Really that's true. And you know you didn't fail by
five or more so you won't sustain permanent damage.
Thank God. That's Good.
But you do suffer. Oh big psychic damage.
Oh God, it's Reigns through yourbody tearing up your mind.

(02:43:21):
It's a specific memory. That unspooled a vision of a
wizard casting a spell. So Grand that his body Withers,
mid incantation and you feel thepain, it the pain of his of his
spell lashes into you. Um the second hour goes by the
most the priest is continuing towhisper and do them.
You watch dulum as a witness of this.

(02:43:44):
You see you can't quite tell. What is exactly happening to do
them. You just see that that great
tapestry of memories seems to sort of be draping over it
almost like a veil, it surroundshis head in particular and every
once in a while you see the mostcrack under the pressure and a
bit of blood, dripped down his nose or ear.
Oh God, he's rigid with pain. I'll just be holding my action

(02:44:07):
for until I see him fall becausethat's the only time I can heal.
All right? Demos.
You enter your third hour, please roll me.
Another DC Constitution. Saving throw the DC has
increased. Oh god.
Oh, another strong nine. Thank you.
The most at this point, you are failing, the specific check by

(02:44:30):
Fiverr more. So I would like you to roll for
me a d10 on my permanent effectscategory, oh it's d10, role
probably matters. More than the role you just made
when you think about it. Oh yep.
You oh, why did it okay, four, okay, four.

(02:44:51):
Let's see here. Up first, I will do, you'll the
damage to you. That is sustained by surviving,
yet another hour, because it wasa bad role.
You sustain the Macs, which is 60, which is 16 more psychic
damage ringed through your mind,but more this time here, you
watch a great wizard. Combust, it's himself and

(02:45:13):
hundreds of feet around him. The fire burns through your mind
and seems to scold your very skull.
You feel it burning all around you and all of a sudden you feel
real heat on your arm the most you look To your right shoulder.
Now as burning beneath it is a permanent scaring off your
clothes, you feel like it's burning.
You have to get your, you have to get it off.

(02:45:34):
You pull your shirt down and Reveal Your Shoulder and you see
beneath it. It's a lattice of fine glowing,
yellow lines like cracks in glass spider webbing over your
shoulder. Fuck you look down at yourself.
Now it actually does complement your the sort of black skin of

(02:45:55):
the dragon half of you but you know it's sort of creeps down
into the lion portion as well and the scar rins up pieces of
fur. And carves deep in the slight
yellow tinge of it fading a bit,but you still see it glows
faintly, you are now marked witha Arcane scar.

(02:46:19):
The priest looks up at you. Do you yield son?
The most looks. Us startled about his his new
mark, but he Stills himself and collects his courage.
I, I will continue. Oh, my God.

(02:46:39):
All right, do you most does not yield?
Oh, you should, please give me another Constitution.
Saving throw the deep sea has increased again.
So now fourth, our demos doing this, you are officially having
the, the cost nice and into five, what is the five get me?

(02:47:06):
You got The most this is failingby ten or more.
So I enter my next. Oh, table here.
This was a critical failure in terms of this mini game.
Oh, So and that thing the next hour goes by more Agony, more

(02:47:28):
torment. The most you are yet again,
played by visions of whole things, this time a wish spell
you watch a grand wizard casting.
This beautiful spell in a Land of fire looks like lava
specifically. This might be at the lip of
volcano or something and casts awish into it as they do.

(02:47:49):
So you see the wizard that castsit, their skin cracks, their
eyes burn out, the very Soul seems to rupture and all of that
gets channeled right through you.
As you take a low roll for damage, 14 damage.
Are you still up? I'm down to three.

(02:48:11):
I'm so awesome. You, you watched the scar appear
dulum, and now you watch the most fall to his knees in this
circle. As the most, I'd like you to
roll a d10 for the critical failure.
Table, strong nine a nine. Hold on, let me get to it.

(02:48:31):
All right, I've got a scroll so far to get to the worst table.
All right. This time as the wish spell that
this wizard somewhere off seems to instill out into the world.
The pain of that spell leaves you the most fragile withered

(02:48:51):
and Hollow I would like you to roll one D6.
Demos. Okay.
Oh, three demos. Would you please decrease your
maximum 80 by 3? A fragment of your life is

(02:49:13):
burned away in that moment. Holy you still have your current
health. You're still up but your max is
now decreased by three. Damn.
What the fuck? The priest gives you a look.
Some dude yield. It's it's too much.
I can tell it's hurting you. You see demos now fault Ring.
The Lost life. He's feeling Um I I think it

(02:49:40):
would be smart for me to to leave now.
I think this is good enough and he tries to stand, it's hard.
You barely get up and you sort of have to like roll out of the
circle, falling to your side. Hitting the stone hard.
The obsidian is cooling, which is sort of nice.
You've just been your head feels.
Like it's on fire and your body's in so much pain, your arm

(02:50:02):
and your shoulder still burn from where that scar is and do
them. You look down and see the most
is with their it honestly, it's sort of looks like how higher
looks early today. Both of them sustaining psychic
damage. Both now having that hollowed
out look in their eyes jittery hands like very pale skin as
pale as a black Dragonborn can be, how are you feeling?

(02:50:23):
Oh, did I do do them? Did I win?
It was very impressive. Oh, thank you.
Thank you, doodle. The priest runs over now and
goes son or you're right? Hold on and wave some hands over
you. Casting a restoration spell on
you. Oh whoa, I'm surprised.

(02:50:46):
Um plus six. It's not much but 16 healing
comes into you as the priest heals you?
I feel better. Thank you did very good.
You made it further than most. I could tell that last hit
struck you deep though. Tell me.
Are you all right? Is your brain still intact?
Ah, mostly I last what I saw it was this man.

(02:51:08):
He cast a wish spell and it consumed him from the inside.
I just want to feel that ever again.
Of course, it mistreating her Infinite Wisdom, took a bit of
your health and your life to keep that man alive.
I hope it was worth it. Yes, that was wonderful.

(02:51:34):
You made it further than most for four hours of your time.
I am sure, Mr. Will hold on. She's telling she's telling me
something now. Hold on the priest, says up now
and looks up You see the latticeof memories returns and begin
circling in the middle again? Yes, yes, it's true.
She will have the gold price cost of your spell that the

(02:51:59):
ritual that must be cast for your sacrifice here today.
The most bows his head as much as he can.
Um well in pain it's like thank you.
Thank you. She tells me more in addition,
she will increase the speed at which the ritual takes place
before it would have taken many hours, but now she said she will

(02:52:20):
do it over the course of just the fair five minutes.
Wow, blessed bless her blessed, bless mistress, the two of you
once you have taken on her greatcurse, you may not do so until
the many months have passed. Yeah.

(02:52:40):
No worries. I I don't think I was gonna be
back anytime soon. Anyways.
Good. Yes, please be on your way.
Let me help you out. He sort of helps your arm under
his shoulder and sort of helps to walk you out with dual on
your other side. You've done very well.
My boy, I could tell Mr. Spoke through you, she helped you get
through those first stages. And again, I'm so sorry.

(02:53:03):
I think God is in her wizard would cause such suffering to
you. I would only offer this knowing
that you wanted it so badly. I would never have offered this
unless you asked and I'm glad you did because I think it
helped you. The most things on that.
One for a second. Yeah.
I I feel very helpful today. Thank you.

(02:53:25):
That's good. You should be very proud.
It is not anyone who could walk away with such a impressive
scars, that the goddess herself would would bestow upon them.
Well, done, I think. All right.
And with that, you would you walk off Uh, yeah.
I mean, unless Doolin, is there anything you need to do here?

(02:53:45):
Oh, I don't think so. All right, help me back to the
tavern. Of course, walk it back, walk it
up. All right, you guys begin
walking back. It's around this point that
Samir and or face you guys finish your builds together.

(02:54:08):
Well, I suppose smear still needs to go for another couple
hours, but you finish your bills.
I finished, we're finished. I can pick this up tomorrow.
I actually have somewhere. I need to be.
I nearly forgot, but the most asked me to help him tonight.
I don't wish to impose, but whenyou return to your room, would
you tell him that I'm ready to help?

(02:54:29):
I'll wait outside the door. Sure.
Wonderful. He returns with you.
He told me that he had made somedeal with the priests of mystra
that church. We went to and that he would
undergo some dangerous sort of ritual with them, that could
hurt him and I wanted to be there for him support him, you
know, that's sweet. Yeah.

(02:54:50):
Let's you know, I think you could handle yourself like you
should. You should rest on her face
please, please rest. You did such a great work on
your your Arcane devices there. I'm so impressed and I know that
I'm sure that I mean, okay, gameplay Hospital.

(02:55:34):
Well that's all right. I don't see us doing much else
tonight. I mean, you know, me neither, I
think the dmls slide. Seems like a nice guy.
Yeah, sort of. Just right now.
Thank you build stuff together. Let me know if you ever have an

(02:55:57):
invention you want, you know, help it.
Of course he actually walks withyou now walking down to your
room. Yes, I think you should offer to
your companions about your face is Magic Shop of tinkering and
in the meantime I quite enjoyed working with you.
If you have another project, letme know, all right, I already
have more ideas and they might be more expensive to build

(02:56:18):
though. That's all right, I'm up for the
challenge. He gives you sort of a goofy
grin. All right.
Okay, I'll go. Let's demo snow, you need him or
he needs you which yeah. Okay.
Good night Sameer, right. And he just Waits out front of
your door as you enter. That's a weirdo.
Oh, they both he is not here, okay.

(02:56:44):
Just in the bathroom. I'll wait out front.
I try to open the bathroom door.Okay, and now works for me.
Dulam and demos you guys are walking back now to the hotel,
the most you feel exhausted. In fact, I will be giving you
one point of exhaustion for thatentire thing that just happened.

(02:57:06):
It's all right, you can sleep itall off, buddy.
So true. Higher seven to sleep at all.
I want you buddy. I only lose one level of
exhaustion at a time, right? That is true.
Okay. I'm so fucking sorry, Fair,

(02:57:27):
that's right. The book was really good.
Right. It was a good read.
Yeah. We yeah.
No great read. I love both.
You guys walk back, not much of interest on your walk back to
the most and do them, but you'reright back to the hotel and you
make a way back upstairs the bathroom is empty.
Or if I just the bathroom severeI think you might have left.

(02:57:49):
Oh, um, where do you think you would have gone not too far,
right? Probably the temple, right?
That's really is on his way to Dylan's, not here either.
It seems like they went together.
Oh, damn, I might too late. Hold on this not good, right?
Oh no, he's no, no, it's all right.

(02:58:11):
I'm glad I was here to help with.
I think we did a lot of good work.
I just and at this point you themost you and doom.
Turn the corner. Oh, are you all right?
Hey, you guys. Where were you?
The most. The most is surprised by so many
brain there and he sort of teachers like straighten up and

(02:58:32):
and act as well as possible as healthy as possible.
You don't look too good. What happened, buddy?
Oh, you know, it was just that Chamber Of Sorrow, you know?
Just got a little sorry in therethat's all.
Sorrowful. Oh no, you went there.

(02:58:53):
Oh the most I was supposed to help.
I'm sorry! Dulum!
How did this go? Is he alright?
That shoulder looks bad. Yes, he was very brave.
Oh okay, yeah. Yeah, this my Soldier.
It's it's nothing. It's nothing.
It looks bad. I mean I thought it look kind of
cool actually. You know?
I mean it, thank you. Look at the Gold Scar left in

(02:59:17):
the most shoulder. The most, I don't think that's
gonna come out. I think it's a warrior scar.
I think this is a lot about you.You know, my people we do
tattoos but you know, if you gotscars.
Hell yeah. Oh yeah.
Thank you, John. I guess I do kind of feel
accomplished up tonight. Um, the priest he said he'd half

(02:59:40):
the cost of the ritual and also they would, he would shorten the
link to only five minutes. A five minute, ritual, sounds
pretty easy to me. Oh yeah, nice.
But the most was it worth the cost.
Your shoulder looks really bad, not trust, trust me, Samir trust
me, it's fine, it's fine. Just still, you know, just

(03:00:01):
something new, you know, things change and you're very open to
this. It looks nasty, but I suppose,
the gold does look good with your skin.
Thank you. I mean, you know you guys could
go down there too. Probably get one.
Get all match. I don't know, they might be a

(03:00:28):
little picky about. Who does the ritual.
I mean, you know, maybe maybe ifyou guys, at least like,
pretend, you know, that you werefollowers of mystra, then, you
know, maybe maybe. But, you know, it makes me
wonder if, you know, someone whohas like, no relation to Mr,
would do it. You know, maybe they just maybe

(03:00:48):
they just die when they try anyways.
Today, that is unusual, right? I've always had that.
Oh, I mean, you know, I would say it's, you know, A loose
connection I would say you know enough to not die so it's not
that's good amount. Yeah I suppose so and I'm sorry

(03:01:14):
that you it's it's what can I do?
What can I do to prove to Yum. Okay Samir I don't know.
He's sort of you see his eyelidsdroop a bit in his eyebrows
going a very exaggerated scared.Look and response it the most I

(03:01:35):
just. Okay.
I am proud that you went to thatthat was very brave of you go.
Sleep it off. All right, we'll talk later.
Oh, okay, some yeah or somethingis yeah.
I I'm gonna do Doom, do you wantto do you want to talk to Samir?

(03:01:57):
You know, as I go get some rest,you know I'm sure he could he
could A friend tonight. We can talk more tomorrow on the
subject on it. Yes, yes.
I agree. Um, you are very independent and

(03:02:20):
strong and I've know you have a good heart.
So I know you wouldn't do anything, stupid, just go to
bed, you must see, did the greatjob tonight.
If you go All right. I'll see tomorrow.
And he shuffled into the room but I do love.
I'm really worried. What has happened in there?
What are you worried about? But how you see?

(03:02:41):
How is the most he looks hurt. I mean, I'm glad you guys went
to go to it together, but damn it.
I wish I was there. This is scary to me to imagine
him all in his own taking on suffering that he didn't even
need to. I mean, we could have gotten the
money for it. I just seemed so rash.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that this is what
he was doing. I went to clean with him.

(03:03:02):
Oh wait, he told you that he wascleaning.
Yes. He said the church needed some
work done, huh? But he was very brave and
strong. Yes, this is true.
I'm just um I don't like that. He was dishonest about what he
was doing and that makes me scared.
And I think I will just have to let him do it, right?

(03:03:23):
Because, you know, it's normal right to lie.
Well, No, it shouldn't be normalto lie.
I just meant when you know, people do their own things.
I can't watch over him and do everything for him.
But lying is not good, right? Those are both true but Tulum
you promise everything went. Okay, I think so.
Okay. That is that is good enough for

(03:03:44):
me. I am.
I'm okay, I apologize. I don't know much about
religion, I guess. So is Mr. Good.
Well um, she is a goddess I suppose she is cool but it seems
like she also has side of her that daughter.
Not so good. I mean, what you saw in there,
did it feel good to feel chaotic.

(03:04:05):
I suppose a little bit of both. He was almost like Controlled
Chaos and away. Well I trust you to have the
right Mortals on this to him. So if you thought it was okay
then I trust you. So thank you for looking after
him that was nice of you. Of course I mean it was it was
all a deal that they went with together and I suppose both and

(03:04:25):
held up their Agreements. Yes, it's pretty low in the end.
Hmm if you if you say so I believe you right?
Yes. Yeah I'm sure just very awful.
Okay, off to bed now. Good night Tulum good night but
he liked to talk to about anything else.
No, I'm okay. Great.
Have a good night walks off. Leaving you guys do it or face,
you're still sort of watching this?

(03:04:46):
Yeah, I think. I was standing like five feet
away, so sort of like back to the wall, like, in my part of
it. Why not?
But I still am. Let's get some sleep!
Was it all really? Okay, I think so well.
I mean, they most is definitely weaker now, but it wasn't
agreement that he decided on andyou're okay.

(03:05:07):
I mean, it would have been a lotfor a little creature, like, you
to see personally, I'm okay. Okay.
That's that's good and real good.
That's good, buddy. Sure thing.
How did the project go with somehere?
Really fucking okay. Check this out.
I run in the direction of the whole way 15 feet Otoro.

(03:05:28):
I was before Wow, how did you dothat?
It's these new boots. I show them all looking quiet.
Okay. Okay, I want to start.

(03:05:49):
So we had this idea that we could you know, offer to make
you guys stuff too. So you know I'm good to tell
everyone but it gets the worst, Brandon starts thinking of what
you want, okay, it's bad. Okay, let's go to bed.
But all right. All right, you guys all.
Make your way into bed and whatever.
One. Please like to add a long rest,

(03:06:09):
and reduce your exhaustion Levels by one.
For those of you guys who have them.
I wonder I wonder who has the exhaustion level.
It's just like you have to do some freaky shit to get an
exhaustion level. Feels deserved.

(03:06:30):
And you guys all wake up. It's a new day and you smell no
coffee this morning. What the fuck you guys kicked?
My legs out. He's not here tonight in severe
say you go over really quick. Was an incident.

(03:06:53):
All right, so what would you guys like to do on this day,
okay. So what's the plan?
The Spire, we're doing that today and we need to get clothes
for one. You guys don't have to go to the
ball. I would love the emotional
support personally, but I won't Force anyone to it.
Should be unprofessional. I would love to go.
Yeah. Okay, that reminds me dancing.

(03:07:18):
What else should we be looking out for?
Oh, wasn't didn't was there something about like an evil man
or something? And the number four evil guy
for. So I'm pretty sure.
It's supposed to be the way I did the code before.
It's like, first went, the firstfour would mean the fourth
letter of the first night, so four of its a why.

(03:07:39):
So, maybe he was asking why something, hmm.
Why it's a broad question, it's the least practical question
person can ask. Well, You look a little worse
for the wear. Oh, you know, it's It was a

(03:08:03):
little crazy last night, but I am feeling better after a good
night's rest and everything I do.
I don't know. it does feel like,Like a little bit of something
was taken from me after all of this, but, but I feel mostly the
same, so I think that's good. Okay, that's good.

(03:08:23):
Yeah um thank you damos for doing that.
I wish we could have been there to help but I am forever
indebted for the pain. You have taken on.
Oh Dad don't don't mention it. I don't mention it.
It was a, it was nothing becausehe had a badass.

(03:08:43):
It's exactly our face. I will say the only the only
thing we did not get discounted was the fresh dead body.
So that is still gonna be something.
We work up with this. You guys hear a loud bang.
Bang on the dope outside. What is that noise?
Bang. Bang, bang.

(03:09:05):
Same here, open the door and yousee, sort of falling through it
is malagos, and he goes, oh, thanks for fucking.
Let me in. All right, you guys, I've got
some big Ideas. He's up now, he's wearing the
same coat and he's flashing his smile.
All right, so sleeping alone. Last night.
I got the best sleep on my fucking life and I thought, wow,
I don't fucking sleep with you guys, but then I missed you and

(03:09:26):
I started thinking about our plan to get a body.
You're never, how are we talkinglike getting a body?
It's a little bit quieter than that.
Okay, what's your idea? Well, you know, they were
talking about the, like prison or whatever, right, that they
have, and they probably killed people there, but it might take

(03:09:46):
us too long to sort of get in, with those guys.
So I was thinking, here's my great idea, we find or if they
says brother friend, whatever the criminal and have him killed
someone for us then, boom hands are clean, no evidence on us and
we gotta criminal to do the job.Not a criminal.

(03:10:07):
He just happens to be in the body of a criminal malice that
that sound fucking great. I feel like that's the greatest
idea I've ever What if we can kill someone to maybe deserves
it a bit more? Look.
Does that mean higher killings average would be a public?
Good. Well, I, I don't disagree with

(03:10:33):
that higher, but we would need him for the day and time of the
ritual, and that might be a little complicated.
She seems interested in us enough to keep constant tabs on
us like a freak. Shirley we could lure him.
We truly wished. And that's probably true.
We could probably lower him, just a thought I would rather if

(03:10:57):
that's all possible us find corpse rather than make a
corpse. I understand.
That's why she's not very reasonable.
But let's exhaust all find a corpse options before we default
to make a corpse options. How was there a way we can
guarantee we find a corpse without causing it.

(03:11:20):
Like malice was saying, I'm surethe prison executes people maybe
a hospital. I know.
Well, and likes that idea, but they have to do something with
the bodies. Which means someone asked to
take the bodies from one place to another and that person
probably could do with some gold.
Yeah, I guess that's to me, you know, it's a stupid idea but the

(03:11:42):
other thing and I was thinking was like you know we could
probably go to like the city watch and just like ask them you
know, pay him a couple gold and just be like hey if anyone gets
stabbed tonight would you tell us first, we'll take the body.
We could mark it ourselves as a clean and yeah.
You know, I mean like people don't want their bodies anyway
or like we could go to like somesort of plague Ward.

(03:12:03):
Do you think they have like a gladiator pit around here?
Get corpses from that. How fresh does it have to be
well, they say an hour. So yes.
Well basically, he never right then there.
Yeah, I again apologize for throwing out ideas but we could
always Go to the dungeon and teleport back right before the

(03:12:24):
ceremony. Whoa.
That's true. And there's Lords of bodies down
there. I mean, we made one, yeah, for
the fucking raft. Guild or whatever.
We're a part of, they probably pay people to go.
Pick up bodies and bring him back so maybe we find one that
didn't make it back. Yeah, yeah.
Did we ever drop off the body's of those two Adventures?

(03:12:45):
We took? Oh, Know, maybe we should go do
that. I would like them out of my bag
and just back alive. Just still decaying in the bag
for fun. Not for fun.
So I guess we deal with them first.
Yeah sure whatever. Yes.
All right. You want to dump them out of
your bag. Where do you want to put them?
Oh I thought we were gonna give them to people like of their

(03:13:07):
respective guilds, you know. That's real nice.
Hire a nice guy. I mean it's something, you know,
only that you know, oral face always seems to like survive the
first death of the day. I mean, I mean I don't know.
I mean you know Are you fucking drop or ffs?
Not without their body, you know, that is unknown.

(03:13:38):
We could exactly exactly. There's so much to learn from
from sora's unique situation. We're probably won't get
Eastland out of it anymore maybewe can buy some or some new

(03:13:59):
sheets as well. It.
But anyway, like I was saying, we could go to the city watch
and just sort of ask them like hey you give us any of your
body's that you find tonight andjust sort of pay him a little
bit for that. That could be a way to get a
fresh body. Yeah.
They might be less amicable to it than the hospital morgue guy.
But yeah, No, just the maybe they might be more corrupt than

(03:14:22):
the people that I feel like careabout their patients.
Yeah, I don't know. Hey, yeah.
All right, switch. What are you doing today?
We're gonna get clothes for thatball.
Let's go fucking shop in. Yeah.
All right. Return some bodies.
Yeah, that too. Yeah.

(03:14:43):
Horse course that. Yeah.
Forgot. We do have to do that.
Okay? All right, you guys head out
into the world. Samir is not here this morning.
You know this is what Absent in absent somewhere.
Oh, and the one to go check on Samir.

(03:15:11):
Open what you're disgusting, malice, and you're still not on
speaking terms with me. What know we're over last night.
Didn't you hear we all decided? I look at my friends for
confirmation and well. Okay, yeah, I give it like a
little shake the most mixed signals got Demos demos nods.

(03:15:43):
Can't win Canyon or a face. Make decisions on your own, huh
sucker? Decision made, I turn around and
faced Amos. Do you want to go check on
Samir? I guess so.
Um, I did. So I would talk to him.
I hope it's not about me. Oh, I'll be back.
Okay. Oh shit, actually, I might know

(03:16:07):
what it's about. We should all go.
Oh, that's all right. What do you think it's about our
faith? Well, here's trying to break
back the picture, right guys. Maybe he came back angry.
I've already running out of the rest.
Oh. Run out, running up the stairs
up to the top floor. You find some years room.
He has the door closed once again and you approach it.

(03:16:30):
What do you want to do? Open it right?
Should I bother asking about? It's not worth it.
You open the door is unlocked. You go in and you see some
errors in the exact same position.
You left him. The day before, he is sort of
squatted, over some materials. He doesn't turn back around and
you hear a voice. Oh, is that you are a fast.

(03:16:51):
Is it morning time already? It is, I guess the time got away
from you. I was scared.
He came back and kicked your ass.
Haha, no, he turns the words, you now and you notice he has a
very sleepy look about him. Even for a Golem something.
Looks up with him. I'm all right.
He's eyes specifically. Look kind of read.
What? Oh nothing.

(03:17:11):
What are you crying? His eyes.
Go a little wide know inside. Check.
He's? My party running with people.
I don't know if you. Fucking good.

(03:17:36):
Um, yes. 17 you determined you think he might have?
And yeah, you can lie smear, whyare you crying?
Oh my God. He was fucking crying.
Look at this. I please don't worry about it.
I was thinking about this petrified man.

(03:17:57):
Know that is a lie. I was right about the most.
Oh Demos, That's embarassing know you.
He's got a neutral expression onand he goes sought a Deimos.
I just, I was scared last night.I was so worried.
That's That that's understandable Sam.

(03:18:17):
I I'm I honestly I I regret not coming to get you last night.
I know it was important to you and that's oh, no.
It was my responsibility to gather you.
I I don't expect you to to have that burden, please.
I don't worry about me. All right, it's not that big of

(03:18:38):
a video. I promise that, I'm sorry that I
spoke on truth. That was improper of me.
You know, I like to think flyingis just a part of life.
Sometimes, that's okay. Not just had slowly.
Maybe it is. No, you're changing him.
But at least for now, I was situation has such a

(03:19:00):
situationship. So I just know if you know this
but that his dad That I don't think you did.

(03:19:22):
It just made a stamos's dad not biologically and didn't raise
him but somehow the one here, itjust came out of his dad.
And I have a similar roommate situation in real life and that

(03:19:51):
is Carter's dad. 100% next question.
I mean, it's right there, it's right there, it didn't know, but
I'll try to heard my friends outin the hallway.

you a wave and goes the most pleased.

(03:20:12):
It is. All right.
I was just, you know, I traveling with you.
It's been so much fun. And the other night when we all
went out and fought monsters in a dungeon, it was scary for me,
but it was fun too. And now, you know, you're going
out and you're doing things in the night and they are dangerous
and they are scary but they are still you and they are still the

(03:20:35):
person I like. And I'm sorry that I scared you
with anything. I might have said in the past.
But, you know, I just want you to know.
I respect you and I admire you that's all.
Well, that means a lot Samir. I, I understand that this

(03:21:00):
there's a lot more, shall we say, danger around us than I
would say, normally individuals that is true.
And, and it's true that it has been quite scary at times.
But honestly, when I look at ourgroup, I, I see capable people
who are, despite some insurmountable odds.

(03:21:23):
Are, in fact, survivors, especially, or if I asked
surface is died. Many times and came back every
single time. Despite the odds I can't
understand how he's still alive me neither, but that makes me
think that, you know, I think, Ithink all of us have some

(03:21:44):
important part to play in this and And I think and I think
we'll get through it. So yeah.

an adventuring party. she's, Outto me, it was really need to do
is get me to start doing risky Street.

I think shopping is a good start.
Yeah. Let's go shopping.
All right. Everyone still has their
finances from the other day, right?
And because the most has, so lovingly taken the solar to
decrease the price to save monthly, we actually have a bit
more money we can spend, right? Yeah.

(03:27:00):
We do. All right.
Keeping in reserve. However, you much you'd like
Sergeant. I have we already said the
amount for Monty was keeping TheLedger.
Is this water fast? You talk about it.
A lot. We should give it to do them

best. I would do it.
Let's see, we certainly not sorry to interrupt.
I have not keeping a ledger in any way, shape, or form.

(03:27:22):
All right, then I guess I'll do it.
Thank you, doom. Let's see.
We needed 5,000 to begin with, but they must have dick,
correct? Yes, yeah, so we're at 2500.
All right, so I can put 300 to that, the 300, from the mithril
coins. The same from me.
Yes, you should keep at least half of that for yourself

Let's see if I also put in 300, it seems like we need 400 more
That's not bad at all pretty fucking close.

(03:28:50):
Um, I mean maybe we're gonna scrounge that together, I can't
we just open up bag Samir over here.
Look at them, I'm not that liquid.
Well, I think we got some jewelry off that dead to
backseat that we found right in the the dungeon we could sell
that oh to actually So, maybe weavoid that word for a little

(03:29:18):
bit. Maybe we don't talk about women.
Higher. It's women's History Month.
You're kidding. Mice now.
Oh yeah, this solid Mutual pickaxe, as well as 80 a silver

(03:29:41):
watch worth 80 gold pieces. Samir sort of opens his eyes
wide at the watch and goes, oh, I'll buy.
That's from you. What a face, why it looks nice?
I still clocks. Oh can I did I have I identified
this yet? I cast a quick identifier on it
on the watch. Yeah um nothing comes up.

(03:30:01):
It is standard watch it's just very fine.
Okay, I'm going to Samir put the80 gold in the bag right at 80,
we can spend some time selling the rest of those things out at
the market today. I'm sure we could gather the
money, we need good idea. I know it must have been hard
but the most I suppose thank youfor helping decrease, the cost.
It is much more manageable now. Yes seriously Dave Moss I would

(03:30:23):
have to call. Don't some horrible things to
get that money. Otherwise I do not want to hear
it malice but thank you. All right, whatever you guys
head out. Now the main room of the Flaming
board looks to be a under construction right now turned
into a ballroom long tables thatare usually covered in, you

(03:30:47):
know, spills of beer. Now, have deep Crimson drapery
on top of them. Chandeliers are being raised and
even looks like they're they're polishing the wooden floor here
as well. A grand stage is being a symbol
at the far end right beside the staircase that you guys
normally. Take a top, the stage.

(03:31:07):
It's still under construction, but you see there's a group of
four musicians, which looked to be tuning strange and exotic
instruments. Oh God, wait staff for all
bustling about setting everything up for the day.
And a couple give you guys all about and a wave as you walk
down. Oh, this is classy.
Damn, or a face. He might have picked an event,
huh? I guess.

(03:31:27):
Well, I didn't pick it. Clear here.
Well, your body. Able sure thinks she will.
I think, I think he picked it. It's the sort of thing he would
enjoy. Oh, you guys head out.
Now, outside of the Inn into theday of waterdeep.
It's a beautiful spring day and Water Deep.
Now, as you guys enter, what do you want to head?

(03:31:48):
What a deep What did you guys can water you?
I guess the marketplace right? All right, so you guys head out
into the trade District, it's a bit of a walk from here to the
trade District, but it's a nice temperate morning and you all
sort of enjoy the Sun. As you head outside, the most,
the sun is fucking bright Ah, burning, you almost like you

(03:32:13):
sort of have like some naturallyhooded eyebrow ridges that save
you a bit from the Sun, but like, you might need to invest
in a hat. It's pretty, pretty Grim.
Oh, it's, it's just, it's too bright out here, guys.
Maybe I should just stay in. I don't How do you?

(03:32:34):
Guys, they feel worse. All was something like just in
the daylight. It's so harsh.
Yeah. Someone someone died me.
Someone told me and the ground. Thank you Jai.
Thank you, hold. You can hold Giants.

(03:33:04):
No other one. No one was assertive.
Game on your walk to the trade, District.
You guys sort of experience the town a bit.
You notice Samir and malagos arestanding about as far away from
each other as possible, at any given time.
Yeah guys I think he fucking hates me now.
Yeah well I think you guys likedme now higher set them on the

(03:33:26):
good side. Really depends on what you say.
It's moments to moment for me. Well, this moment is a good one.
He's not on my side of things. Hello.
I've been very beautiful people up to decide that for themselves

(03:33:46):
smelling this you can't really control what others think.
Well, you guys think that's hat,would be nice enough for a
masquerade or do I need something nicer?
What does that look like? Definitely nice.
So they're all gonna need to be fuck, it's a wide brimmed.
Green hat with sort of a tall pointy head piece part.

(03:34:08):
Like about it. I like it.
It's stupid looking clearly. That's beautiful.
Was that talking you turn British?
It came out. I can't open prayer for you.
Oh God. Right on your way.
So, yeah. All right.
Go ahead. We need to keep out an eye out

(03:34:30):
for some Salve. That would help.
Me and my leg is his problem. What's your guys's problem?
Hair loss? Oh is.
It natural poison stuff? They not a poison like the goo
so that's it. We can look, you know, that

(03:34:51):
could be the kind of thing that someone could make if they had
the capabilities. Yeah.
Oh yeah, you guys you guys I want to offer my services.
I made this sick ass fucking gloves and boots for myself and
I think, you know, with some gold to buy the materials to me
and I could build you guys items.
If you're looking for anything in particular, no way they'd be

(03:35:11):
great. So put in my word on this as DM,
Mason's note on. This is just first off as a note
in waterdeep, this is a fucking huge city with a enough
investigation. You can basically find anything
you want in terms of like magic items that you guys want to buy.
So in for a of building, a 10 million mile long shop, as part

(03:35:32):
of Orpheus is artificer abilities, with the right gold
price, you can basically make items that would be the
equivalent of magic items you could buy.
So if you guys have anything that comes to my mind that you
want, then you can discuss the price of it and or a face can
build it. Huge.

(03:35:53):
Discuss with Mason out of session, like what the item you
have in mind is, and how we would achieve it.
Sounds like though, but otherwise, I think that's a good
way to do items and then if you guys need, you know, suggestions
for items, we can also discuss that too that.
Yeah this is your shop for WaterDeep.
Wow. What a face you did such a good
job last night with that the boots in the gloves.

(03:36:15):
I'm sure you could do amazing onanything anyone wanted.
Oral. I want stuff that I want stuff
that I want to fucking cool Cape.
I wanted to be black. I want to Billow in the wind
wherever what I wanted to make me sneaky as fuk.
I want to be, so still the in itseems like a waste of money, but
my voice deep. I wanted to make my voice really

(03:36:35):
deep and cool and like badly perfect.
Yeah, maybe don't know about that.
You like that one. I bet if you'd be like, yes,
sir. What do you think we would need
to make the ointment of hair growth?
We would just have to pick up a few ingredients like for

(03:36:55):
something greedy and Shop it. I imagine the whole bomb would
not cost. I would guess 50 gold pieces and
it could be used on all of us. How much did you?
50 total. How are we gonna drop some three

(03:37:17):
gold my eyebrows right I'm paying how much it's worth for
me dude I want to snatch his head off.
Oh small balls but in the middleKnow you the Masquerade.
His eyes go wide. He looks like he's upset but
it's hard to tell because more than Ever.

(03:37:41):
Okay, he very carefully. Grumbles and counts out 17, more
gold to increase it to 20, okay?All those are you can you only
have to put in 15? She said what I take away you
can get it. Oh, take the Fiverr.

(03:38:04):
Okay. Can I add ingredients for hair
growth? Serum to my memory.
All right. Yeah.
Um, during yours time in the trade market today or if it's
you and Samaritan's been a time,ducking into an ingredient shop,
you buy all the stuff you need and it will just take, you know,
I would say a short rest to makeit.
Awesome with the majority of theingredients are lotions and

(03:38:26):
certain Herbal Remedies very mixed together.
Also on all of your adventures. Through the trade, District you
guys make your way to the silk stalls.
You guys actually haven't gone to the trade District to buy
things yet. So going into the thick of it,
it is alive with voices, bartering and laughter.
And lots of merchants that are Hawking, their Wares calling out

(03:38:49):
to you guys. You smell spiced nuts, fresh
cut, leather, and perfumes a plenty.
There are stalls, like lining the coupled streets with colored
canopies above them. And as well behind them are much
more established brick-and-mortar buildings that
seem to have Finer Things for sale.
The Stalls, you know, try to Hawk at you, they're cheap

(03:39:12):
cotton counterfeit jewelry. People shout out to you and they
go. So I see you on my hats.
You'd be a fool, not to try one all.
On your walk. You pass a particularly Lively
stall, where it looks like a halfling.
Merchant is arguing with a disgruntled customer over the
authenticity of some silk. You're a fuking idiot if you

(03:39:35):
don't think this is a real Elvensilk you fucking Jag.
Don't make me call the Gods on you.
What is that Benny? Know, it is not know and I need
to work on my different New Yorkers.
Behind all these makeshift stalls and Tents the bartering

(03:39:57):
kind of disappears and you guys can enter some more, find
estimates, but more specifically.
There are tailors here with actual wood floors, you know,
expensive Fabrics, that you can view Showcases of mannequins
drapes and all sorts of modern Springtime fashion.
You guys, you guys want to do a nice tailor or some cheap fabric

(03:40:18):
off the street. They most, what do you think?
Well, I guess how much did you guys.
Save up, 50, gold. Was it 136 for me?
Oh, beautiful. Oh, Mason do I think that's
gonna be enough for some finer materials?

(03:40:38):
Yes, gold is pretty valuable. For the most part.
The average person doesn't really get 36 gold pieces.
Just to spin on a whim. So if you guys, you know, it has
her to the wander, just blowing all your money on clothes.
You guys could definitely shop in the funds.
Oh I guess then orifice I think I think we'll find some fine
stuff for you. None of the cheap things because

(03:41:00):
sheep is bad, right? Yes.
Yes it means you're poor and youdon't want to Understood
Society, this Society. Oh, all right.

(03:41:22):
So you guys could have one of the nice tailors.
You don't want to be poor or Affairs, not in a water deep,
not poured in waterdeep, got it.Not anywhere.
Are you guys find a nice Taylor called vanades Vander doors
silks is the name of the establishment Taylor shopping
nestled in between two large Stone buildings guys.

(03:41:44):
Make your way in you find, there's a little symbol on the
floor of a gold needle in twinedwith ivory, with Ivy inside the
air is cool and perfumed. And in the corner in Enchanted,
loot plays music, holy shit. Um, you guys noticed there's
someone else in here and individual wearing nearly all

(03:42:05):
black you recognize this immediately as someone you were
pointed at your first day here, this is one of the lawmakers of
the city who was flanked by fourguards of the crown they stand,
he's trying on hats. And nearby.
Go ahead. He knows fashion.
If we asked him oh orifice I don't know.

(03:42:26):
We should talk to those people. That sounded like they were bad
news. Hmm.
Okay so its up to your day most or also Jaya guys help.
But if we start with someone easy like Doom, I'm easy.
What if we started with color? I feel Doom.

(03:42:51):
I feel like you like red. Yes, maybe we go from there.
That's a great start. I walk up to the counter.
You walk in. There are a few other customers
in this tailor, but you approachthe counter and you find an
extremely well-dressed Elven. Man with slicked back silver
hair, he gives you a smile as you approach and he looks sort

(03:43:13):
of up and down over your currentattire measuring.
Your look, He sees my my pouch that has so much gold written on
it. Robbed.
But he sees your current fit andhe goes, oh, yes, how are you?
Good, sir. What can I do for you?
I'm good. Thank you.
Can you show me all your Red Clothing?
It's kind of a broad switch. Why don't we start with?

(03:43:36):
What's the occasion a masqueradeball?
Oh well, wonderful. Well, welcome just for the
Flaming boys. Yes, I just nice.
So he folds his hands in front of him and sort of looks down at
you tell me. Who do you wish to be when you
Dawn on a mask too long? That's the point of this
masquerade ball. You become something else for

(03:43:58):
fun. What else if you could be
anything else in the world? What would you be plus and, or
place or thing we can make it happen.
I guess, strong. Strong.
Yes. Okay.
I like it strong. So that's sort of a broad
construct. So what if we never did you want
to be like strong, like an oak tree or like strong, like a
Muslim man or like strong. Like like the morals.

(03:44:20):
The greatest priest. Do you have something for all
three? Yeah, I think we can make
something work. All right.
Why don't you follow me this way?
I'll set you up with one of Taylor's.
What's your current budget for this?
I looked down at my purse 72 gold and six silver.
The figures eyes go kind of wideand go.
You'll you're gonna spend all that here today, likely not.

(03:44:40):
But I, perhaps could, if you have something good, all right.
I'll let them know. Why don't you follow me this way
friend? Come here.
Are those your companions back there with you?
Would you like any of them to join you just for advice?
Sure, I wave or a face over. He said here's something strong

(03:45:02):
and red sounds fucking awesome. Show me.
Is it made from the scale of redsea serpent?
I like a bush up here. The shopkeep goes, oh are you
interested in international leathers and skins we could make
that happen. Audio.
Maybe not scales. I feel like might be a little

(03:45:23):
tasteless. Okay.
All right. Dulum, you get taken to the back
now or if they want to help thisprocess, my feedback.

(03:45:50):
That's all right. Or if I ask for your appraisal
of fashion, yeah, I want you to roll a check for me.
Now, here's the thing. There really is no fashion check
and that's too bad. Now the closest I can think is a
performance check just for. Yes, you doing it and, and

(03:46:11):
Discerning it. So could you give me a
performance check please? That's exactly.
So you would make it. Make it so like six.
A six. You know what's wrong though?
That's true. And you know what looks strong.
But also orphan says, this is supposed to be special and it's
dulum orifice wants you to look adorable?
So this you want to make it lookstrong?

(03:46:37):
Yeah. Mostly wanted to give you the
fluffiest ball gown. I could find but I'm keeping the
strong in mind. Also now All right, so you guys
trying a couple things. The first thing is this sort of
like full cloak, that is just like thousands of red rose
petals around. You do them.

(03:47:00):
Oh, which is pretty good. You tried that one on though,
it's very, but around your body.The second one that orifice
gives a thumbs up to is in extremely boxy, one like full
Minecraft. You know, six sides.
D6 torso. That's awesome.
Very awesome. And for a six, yeah, that's all

(03:47:26):
you got. Doom, do you want to give me a
performance check unless you're going fully on or if it's
Direction? Um, oh I got 22.

(03:47:46):
Yeah, that's a little better. Do them.
You've spent enough time with humans that you know what is and
is not in fashion. The red box would probably be a
little too much what the fuck. You try some other things.
They're a lot of deep Reds a lotof crimsons that you can try on.
What exactly is it that you would like for what do you

(03:48:08):
imagine for dulum with the 22? You can have your your hearts
Vision? Holy oh.
I kind of did like the idea of something like from an animal
but not scale. You can get like a red leather
suit. Oh, yes, so sick.
Yeah, perfect. All right, we're going with the

(03:48:29):
red leather suit with the the shoulder pads popping hockey.
But it's red. Do you think it looks strong?
Yes. Yes.
You know the physically strongest.
I'm going to see tonight's. Her color was red too, so there
you go. You see an open neutral smile?

(03:48:50):
I spin your own over my head. Oh yeah.
Your arms like I did that one time.
Yeah, yeah, okay, but you out, when we get out, I do I spin you
around. Wow.
Mechanical creature. I've ever seen in my life.

(03:49:16):
The Fabulous slay boots. You know, they never wear any
clothes. That's true damage to let me
look good. Thanks, I can't wait to see what
you guys get. All right.
Do you love They do charge you abit more than you expect.

(03:49:39):
Dulum. The, the Taylor Swift Lanes of
because it's a it's a fine red leather there, you know,
Leathers expensive. You know, you gotta, you really
charge them for that. So they charge you 50 gold

with building or you just doing it all by yourself?
I mean I think that's it, but I sort of look at some are Get his
Vibe. Somebody looks at you neutral
expression. Yeah, no I get it.

(04:24:41):
Fuck me. I'm out of here.
Yeah, I get it. You're good.
Oh, okay. Mal gets walks off leaving guys,
alone in your craft room. Samir helps you out with your
mask to do them. So you have a Clockwork mask, in
my mind, the two of you talk about it.
What design did you have in mind?
ERM definitely some gears, definitely some clocks involved.
Um, he shows you an array of clocks and gears you guys sort

(04:25:03):
of set it up. You can set it up real fancy.
How do you imagine it? Like clocks where your eyes are
and you look around them. I like that.
Awesome. Yes, get some fine clocks.
He even incorporates in that pocket.
Watch that he was just bought from Orpheus.
He is one of the eyes, the beautiful watch face sort of

(04:25:25):
glowing out. He gives you a thumbs up and
goes that looks really nice to them.
You guys build a bunch of Gears all around it covering the rest
of your body and you get a nice strap around the back that
connects well, and it's takes a couple hours.
I would say, but it looks reallynice by the end.
I would like from you though, for building it, a sleight of
hand, check or a face as well. Also, a slide of handshake from
you to build your own. Okay.

(04:25:47):
Is this for my mask or for the commercial mask?
This is for your mask. I won't make you roll for the
for the balm, just because that would be offensive to make your
role every time you want to makesomething.
So it's they give me a line that's Plus 10.
Okay, 19. Got it.
All right, 19. You make your mask successfully.

(04:26:09):
It looks just as you envisioned.Additionally, you also finish
making over the course of a short rest about an hour, the,
the ball for hair, so it has 10 uses where to place it on a bald
spot and it regrows hair in thatarea immediately.
Awesome. I go ahead and slap it on my

(04:26:31):
head. All right.
One use malice lately, asks for it.
Yeah. Yeah.
He uses out of it. One for his eyebrows, one for
the, his head itself. Do you have any idea how many
uses it has when you made it at 10?
Okay? It's, it's sort of like a little
scoop. It's a balm nice.

(04:26:54):
You layer it on real good or face.
All the patchiness goes away. You look classy again, Malaga,
swipes it on his eyebrows and his head and his hair grows in
pretty nice. It's gross and greasy, which
sort of leaves you confused. Looking good belly, looks good.
He gives you a thumbs up. Fuck.
Yeah, man. I was sort of thought that I
screwed up to get a body that had a fucking head.
Dead spot right here, right? I mean, at least there's a

(04:27:16):
strong, oh, lady Doom, what did you get?
Not funny. It's spectacular.
I can't even imagine how good itis.
So good. It's just so good.
Perfect. Dulum, you get all the gears and

(04:27:37):
just the right places, the clocks over the eyes.
Look spectacular. The gears that sort of flow out
from it. Have these beautiful symmetry to
them as well and asymmetry at a certain angle, everything is
perfect, you finish. And you are confident that this
is one of the finest things you've ever made.

(04:28:01):
But a lot of it was Samir. Guys.
Damn, that's wow. If there's a mask contest use.
Enter it. Maybe I would you need to do
them. It looks fucking incredible.
Dulum. Wow, you are very good.

quickly too. Wow, you sort of just went at

Holy holy, holy shit. Very fucking cool.

(04:28:47):
Doom. You will be the belle of the
ball. Thank you.
Damn. That's fucking awesome.
You guys both made your own. That's impressive.

There's just lots of things thatI want, you know, maybe we
should take a, you know, talk toLady of pain.
One of these days. Take on one of her things, she
was paying really well to remember.
She was paying really well like really, really well.

(04:30:09):
Remember that shit. Ten thousand gold pieces to kill
that fuck head. Well, it's never worth taking a
life but you know, if she had aneasier nicer Quest.
Yeah. She might, I don't know.
Just an idea. I did that.
I appreciate. Okay.
Now could you guys catch my hair?
I think if you all three work together, it won't go back.

(04:30:33):
I'm sure I had experience with his kids.
Well, but then again, they don'thave human hair like mine.
What have you seen his mustache?Very nice.
And I'm sure he Grooms are himself.
Yes, it did. Get burned off though.
Well, that's it. That is true.

(04:30:54):
It takes you guys a couple hoursto set up all of your materials
and create all these rituals andmake all of your masks.
During this time, the other group, The internment group
brings the body. Does the funeral procession all
the way out to the undermountain, the most and

(04:31:15):
higher and Jaya. You guys drop off the corpses
with the mortuary that is set upright outside of the
undermountain, they accept them gracefully.
Give you guys a they write down your names too.
Oh yeah, we just want to see youwhat your name is, you know, you
can do credit for your guilds, you know, some guilds give you

(04:31:37):
more bonuses, if they know you turned in bodies.
So what you guys with I I don't think our Guild has perks like
that but we're with the running rats to run and rest.
Those guys are fucking Laughable.
So sorry. Yeah yeah.
All right I'm down right here you know they're probably gonna

(04:31:57):

criminal. Wow.

Exactly yeah yeah sure whatever whatever.
And they take the two bodies andyou guys leave with a good
conscience kind of oh yeah traveling back now to waterdeep

(04:32:23):
the whole the whole Quest that you go on basically takes an
hour and a half in total of Walking In The Sun.
It's a temperate day so it's nottoo hot and it's enjoyable walk.
You can sort of stretch your legs and it's not a violent day,
so you get to sort of relax after the previous couple days.
After you guys get back, the afternoon has come and gone and
people are looking to be alreadysetting up for the mid-afternoon

(04:32:47):
and evening activities of the city.
Would you guys like to do? Oh, did you guys just want to
head back here? I think I'm satisfied.
No. Yeah.
Yes. Have to get ready for the the
Masquerade and the ball. Hey for what?

(04:33:09):
It's worth. I don't know.
I feel like things could have gone different with with Monty
if I've been able to talk to him.
So I learned sending if you everwant to try having me reach out
to maybe a child crying. Oh I'm sorry.

(04:33:31):
No, it's okay. So okay, yeah, yeah.

Malaga, Samira or a face. And dulum are still working on
the masks. It sort of takes a while for you
guys to be done, you guys can all relax for a moment during
this time that you're relaxing, the most, you get a message in

(04:34:34):
your head. What this comes by way of
Volker, the court wizard who seems to send to you, you hear
his voice, ring out your head, as he goes the most It's such a
pleasure to see you yesterday. Just wanted to make sure you

Haha signed Volker, wow. Gosh, interesting.
He knows how to send to cast him.
Ah God. So most of my response have to

sending it was 25 and five e at least it's 20.

(04:36:27):
head, he sends again the most I understand your news arrived to

Like us, phuc. Yea, man.
Yours is cooler, though. Both ears.

Folded folded over the eyes as masks are want to be, that's

(04:41:33):
okay. All right.
So well the rest you guys like to be doing before this ball,
you've got a about an hour or two before it begins.
And I'm sure you want to show upa bit fashionably late.
Um, I will be no fire right on time to the second.
Yeah, I'll have this be exact. Yeah.

(04:41:56):
Before the thing. No, all right.
Malice sort of shutters up to the old broom and goes.
Hey, listen. I can't really afford to have my
own room after that costuming that we did.
So, can I move back in? Yeah, buddy.
Oh, my soul. Banished.
I'm still pay for some errors room.

Where are you are a fast? This piece of floor.
Yeah, what your piece of flowers?
Nice nicer. and what your All right.

(04:42:39):
You you take a bath or you guys all get ready for your
activities? You really want to show up right
on time. Yep, yeah.
A fungus. All right.
So an hour passes than another as you guys wait to demos?
Have you thought of a response yet for vulgar?
Uh, yes, I'll send it to you right now.
Excellent. A private message goody me.

(04:43:03):
The most, he does not respond tothat message, okay, that's okay.
I'm gone. He does not do another sending
to respond. It's a good message though.
I didn't enjoy that during the next two hours that you guys are

(04:43:25):
waiting. Samir does come into your room
at some point. And go it not to interrupt but
it could I have a moment with higher?
Uh yeah. I was all yours.
Okay. Yeah.
Some more years. Oh, before I go, I also
something for Doom, I do them. I wrote this for you, he gives

(04:43:47):
you a neutral smile and passes you.
A long piece of parchment. You notice on it are written
detailed step by step instructions, to remove, an auto
gnomes GPS component. Oh, you are, you said your
friend wanted this? And I know that he didn't want
me to do it. So I thought, maybe the two of
you could work with that and figure out that yourselves.
Thank you. Samir, of course, yes, it was

(04:44:09):
not that long to write down and it should be very intricate.
I made sure not to leave at anything.
You sort of skim. It, it is very intricate.
Thank you. I will definitely use this.
Oh okay, thank you. All right, hi, please bring your
bag. Okay, excellent.
He goes, you back up stairs. As you guys walk it.
So higher. How was today been going?
I know they fall out from Monty is still been bad but I know she

(04:44:32):
were having fun in the tailor shop is, are things better.
Yeah, there there a lot better. Um, I think I kind of saw my
There and everything kind of felt like, I don't know, like I
had lost everything but then we figured out a plan to get him
back and um, but I don't know, like, I guess I'm luckier than I

(04:44:57):
thought. Um, yeah no, it's it's been all
it's been, it's been a good day so far.
I'm glad we got him back too andI know you are afraid to revisit
your people in the temple District, but I implore you, you
should go back and tell them what's happened.
They are probably worried about you too.
I mean to be fair you did tell them what, five days ago that

(04:45:19):
you were going into the dungeon to find Monty and they haven't
heard from you since it might think you are also in danger.
I know it's a scary thing to tell them the truth especially
when we don't know what's happening to Monte the waiting
is of course, the hardest part. But I'm sure you have good news,
you could share with him and they would be so happy to see
you again. Um, I guess I just, I don't

(04:45:39):
know. It's it's weird out here like I
I never Really went out of my way to talk to anyone in town
and I don't know, things are different out here, and yes, and
yet now you are sort of their leader.
Now, none of them are Fighters the way you are survivors.
I don't know, I feel like that was more my brothers thing, but

(04:46:00):
I get that. I know I, I know better than
anyone that the waiting is very hard for something to happen and
soon though and just a week's time, we will have an answer for
your brother. In the meantime, we should enjoy
life. I'm proud of you for for knowing
that. Hey, thank you.
So many, I'm glad you're with us.
All right. Now, open that back and bring up

(04:46:21):
the pet store Fight, Man. Oh okay, right here.
Okay yes. So here's the deal.
He might be very confused and God knows how old he is.
So he might not speak the commontongue.
So I'm thinking you're kind, spirit and soft hands will
encourage him not to fight us. What about my hands or okay?
Yeah, yeah. Okay, they healed people.

(04:46:43):
That is a very kind of, that's true.
That's true. Okay, you know, like a good
energy. Yes, yes.
So let's bring him back and if he's running, we should just let
him run. I don't think we should chase
him. I agree.
Um right where we gonna do this?It's just thinking right in the
room. Okay, let's do it.
Okay, you guys pull out the statue from the bag.

(04:47:05):
It takes honesty. A better part of like, five
minutes to drag this body. Out of the bag.
Sort of pulling the seams right along the edge, making sure not
to break it. You set him up in the center of
the room, you see all the littlechisel marks all over the side
of this individual, all the carvings that people left in the
stone to Market arrows and Signatures and guild signs, even

(04:47:26):
your brother Monte, wrote, a little something, something.
And you set him up in the middle, Samir gestures to a huge
collection of ingredients besidehim and goes, oh, last night.
I was up working on this. I think it is a solution for the
petrification. I don't think it will last long,
though. We need to put it on the right
now. It is a sort of a liquid that we
will drain on the top. Are you ready?

(04:47:46):
Yeah, I'm, yeah, let's do this. All right.
You guys gloop. On this liquid, it's a very
runny white liquid. That Samir is produced.
It seems to run off almost slip slip.
Oh, it's so slippery. Oh, very slick runnier than

(04:48:07):
water. Is, what is this?
It is a concoction. I made.
It is sort of like a construct, it's reverses.
A lot of construct Creations, ifever this was placed on the
stone Golem, it would crack it. Territory part Betty dangerous
for constructs, but I thought itcould work here.
Oh, very powerful. Um, sort of okay, what if they

(04:48:28):
showed me how to make it actually you should ask Auto for
more. Wow.
A whole bunch of stuff and you notice as the liquid sort of
runs off, some sort of magic seems to take, hold the stone
surface of the statue begins to crack not in a way that
suggested, it's breaking apart. But rather as if something
beneath it is trying to stir pushing against it, the

(04:48:50):
fractured quickly, then a sort of thunderous crack as all the
stone flakes away revealing flesh.
Beneath the figure beneath immediately swing forward with
the right hand, as if caught in a last moment.
Before petrification a fist flies forward.
And the other hand goes for a sword.
That's not there. Hey, hey no.

(04:49:12):
It's okay. They look around terrified.
You see Terror and all their clothing is tattered and time
worn. And they stammer in what sounds
like common. But it's got a couple words in
it. That are a bit more ancient, who
do you just go there, you look at the figure now and you see in

(04:49:34):
sort of a horror that their skinis covered and very fine.
Tiny red, scars marked by all the etching and scratching that
people made into the stone statue.
Um hi. Okay yourself the voice my name
is sort of horse. My name is fire and this is

(04:49:57):
Samir. I you've been petrified your for
Millennia, I don't know how much.
Oh kind of ripping the Band-Aid off.
Jeffery is this. You you were petrified and a
Dwarven. Mind that got turned into um a

(04:50:19):
dungeon for explorers. And by the time, look, by the
time we found you people had been using you as kind of like a
sign. Um, in the fifth floor if just
like Mark the path and we figured out, we could fix you
the figure spins around quickly stance, defensive, their eyes

(04:50:42):
darting around my know, nice, deceive me by the Saints.
Have I slumbered a whole age? Yeah.
Yeah that I think so. Tell me true who sits at the
pond on the throne. Oh God.
Oh God, we do know this, can I do it?
This is doing great. Oh going great.

(04:51:07):
Okay, disadvantage. Um, you remember a name?

And his name, like it was like aword.
Like Samir you Samir. Do you remember Samira looks at

(04:51:28):
you and goes? You're still doing great, keep
it up. On this to me.
Um I think you might know betterthan we did.
I put whatever creature killed. You is probably been dead for a
while. If it makes you feel better.
We're for stand ye. Thus gaping, like fish on dry

(04:51:50):
land. Oh, are you a pirate?
Why don't we walk you out there about the you seem like you're
back to life? I'm sure you have great, great
and nephews that want to see you.
So, let's just, let's have you go out into the real world.
Yes, buddy. Right, you know Water, Deep
Water Deep. Cold wounds, not an inkling, the

(04:52:12):
world hath changed, most clearlyhe had us if you slowly guide
him out of the room, down the hallway, he looks around and he
goes, oh, these creatures were masks.
What's the matter of God be this?
I we have like a masquerade party if anything, I feel like

(04:52:33):
that's more of your thing than mine, maybe Customs way into so
far. Okay, what?
I just, I don't know. I like Jenny didn't understand
that like, It's a mirror. Can you maybe like translate or?
It's all right. Let's just get you outside,
buddy. Let's just see the sun, maybe

(04:52:53):
the sun will remind you. You know what tire, why don't
you keep going? This might be a more complicated
procedure. I'll see if maybe someone else
can help you just keep walking. No walks off, know it's make
sure he doesn't go kill the ladyof pain immediately.
You are left with this man who looks confused.
He's looking around. He's his body is still covered
in scars. I look I'm sure you've been

(04:53:16):
through a lot. Um, you know, when I was young
Um, my people saved me from likea really bad situation, you
know, that's about all I know. But in that way, I was given a
second chance, consider this your second chance a blessing
upon the who has undone minor fliction.

Escalating and escalating. I recognize that.
I remain unaware of the year that you, you speak it to me
1492. Oh, would that I had perished in

(04:59:23):
battle rather than wakes at thisMiss begotten time.
Oh hey. What when were you alive?
And the great year of King almond or first of his name his
40th year, you know, if you and I probably would have been
really good friends. I mean, you did kind of Parish

was fighting off the Retro. Last I recall.
I think people like the dwarfs here.
Um, sorry you guys lost. What did you even die to forsake

Fitch to grant me another chanceat glory in this way.
And yeah, which God the same one.

Um, but there's a really cool Temple and in that Temple,

(05:00:57):
people can worship anyone. And, you know, I travel there,
this moment. Yeah, I had to go.
Anyway, let's let's, I think we can find some nice people for
you. If I must live again, then let
it be with purpose. He steps out into the front door
and looks up at the sun. He then begins riding off into
the city. I think he'll make papers.

That's too bad. You guys did a great job.
You run after a higher he turns back and goes wide off that.

know, talk to them anyway. And I think, I think they would
be very nice to someone who's gone through what you've gone
through. Let me, let me introduce you.

(05:02:10):
their favor. Reviving me, from my prison like

it's easy for people to forget stuff like that.

All right, you guys, descend to the Grand stairs.
Now, it is time to enter the masquerade ball.
You guys enter into the masquerade ball.
The air is thick with the scent of fine, perfume and candles as
well. The ever-present undertone of
expensive. Wine descending, the stairs.
You get a Grand View of the ballroom.

(05:15:10):
It's a breathtaking display of wealth and Artistry, gilded
chandeliers float above the crowd.
Candlelighting off the polished marble floor, elegant, drapes of
deep Indigo, and Crimson hang from the voltage ceiling sort of
cutting off view from a majorityof the and rather casting the
grand hall in a warm intimate glow.
Looks like a full Orchestra is playing on that raised balcony.

(05:15:34):
You saw earlier, their music is swelling and dipping as couples
and groups twirl across a dance floor.
And right in front of the stage elsewhere, guests are masked in
all sorts of Splendor. You see several different masks
around you. There are there's a gentleman
wearing a feather to owls. Message you see a woman in a

(05:15:58):
very Sleek. Looks like tigers mask, with a
partner, sort of whispering intoher ear.
That's draped in gold, like a, with a Serpent's face.
You see, costume to Noble the master merchants, and there
seems to be a crier at the main entrance, which you guys did not
come through. You came through the in itself,
but rather at the front, there'sa crier that seems to call out

(05:16:21):
to the titles of individuals. Walking, in all, of course, by
their the titles of their costume.
You hear announcements such as the Silver lady, The Laughing
Raven, the bobbed Duke, the garish frog.

(05:16:46):
Your all of your arrival nearly on time, here is met with
passing interest. Of course, certain members of
your group, do draw more refinedattendees.

(05:17:11):
Diplomat who sort of laughs as you walk by reveling and you're
absurd. Up.
You're, oh my God. It's like an amphibian thing.
Like, you guys make it to the bottom of the stairs.
You notice there's a large groupof looks like eight people
wearing porcelain masks huddled around, looks like an hors

(05:17:32):
d'oeuvre table that all sort of point and mock.
The the frog is just So garish goodness.
Well, you all from? I supposed to be an insect.

(05:18:55):
It's not all, you know you just came up with it.
Just tell them how much it costs, that'll make them really
think about it. So um as she guys are you get a

(05:19:16):
chance to explore the ballroom alittle bit um because of all the
masks that people are wearing, it's actually sort of hard to
see over the crowd. There's a lot of high feather,
headdresses and Tall. Masks the most you spot with
your intelligence on the rest ofthese folks, you do spot across
the way, there's another black goat mask individual, who
staring across the ballroom watching you.
Oh, Because he sort of locked goat eyes, I guess I make my way

(05:19:43):
over. All right, you start heading
over as you. Do you hear another call from
the cry or at the front as another opulent Carriage arrives
and somebody sweeps out of it the Aquatic Menace.
Figure for all. You honestly, you can't see over

(05:20:08):
the crowd Oro. You're a bit short of the
average person here. Fuck you.
A the most, you do, make your way across the ballroom though,
you make your way to the other goat headed individual, it looks
to be another tall man. You can't quite tell from the
clothes but you'd think human just like quite tall who watches
you approach and goes glad to see.

(05:20:29):
We have another refined. It's a pleasure.

delicately kisses it. Well, how refined just arrived,

Just staring at knees all night.Various costumes that you see
there? Okay guys, all I know about Abel

(05:21:41):

confirm he's not able and then worked on by sides until I find
him. So there are a lot of people
here. I don't know.

the ball. What?

(05:22:44):
Doom very well said. All right.
You guys, we can explore and through, it's a very packed.
Ballroom even though you guys arrived basically just on time,
you know that a majority of the people.
He also seemed to have been herefor a while.
Some people even looked to have arrived early and are now
already. Pretty tipsy, you notice that
there seems to be free food and drink along the edges of the

(05:23:05):
ballroom. Demos.
The man who was Now sort of raptors hand around your all
pulls, you toward one of those bars and leans in close and
orders for me and the gentlemen,2, Dwarven fire brendy, you can

Mm-hmm, excellent. Now, how did a fine specimen

(05:23:28):
such as yourself arrived here without my noted?
oh, well, let's Just say. I have.
Unique ways of traversing goodness, you would almost have
me believe you're some sort of hidden Mass Lord.

(05:23:48):
While you wait on your drink. The rest of you guys are sort of
walking around here. The drinks are flowing freely
here. A lot of wine velvety, red wine
honied, white servers also seem to weave in and out of the
crowd, offering trays of pastries, and other hors
d'oeuvres seared meets drizzled and rare sauces.
You also find a lot of fruits aswell.

(05:24:09):
A small plates of raisins. Every time, one of any of that
goes by or just digs in gulps atthem, you take it all.
In fact, Orpheus to my knowledge.
I don't think you've ever eaten at a restaurant is fine as here.
The food, just tastes that little extra special, some
little spice that you've never tasted before that, you're like,

(05:24:32):
oh, I quite like that. And each piece suits, the
previous perfectly. It's almost like there's an
order to it. You guys move through the crowd,
blending in pretty well, some ofyou with ease others, a bit more
like subtle awkwardness you knowjust some years getting a lot of
looks to Time Slips by in a hazeof music and conversations as

(05:24:53):
you guys explore or a face, can I get an investigation check
from you and anyone else who wants to be searching for this
individual known as able? Please give me an investigation.
Check Fucking it teased me so hard that it was going to be 17
to them with malagos. Could I get help from him?
Oh, she hears the thing Jaya, I didn't want to look.
I just want to get a drink with you.

(05:25:16):
Listen, look at this place now just casually look you know just
awesome Sergeant dude, I've never been to a place this
classy. Fuck, man.
Like we should live it up. Let's not spend a second wasting
our time on jobs or anything. Let's just get drunk
immediately, and maybe start a fight.

(05:25:46):
to do it, man. All right, all right, let's see.
I'll get you just a nice wine. All right, Sarge sort of snaps
at the bartender and request. A couple people glasses of wine
hands one over to you. That's just take a moment.
All right, enjoy the time. Look at how good you look there.

(05:26:16):
You can roll. Okay.
Well, I got a fucking 11. Okay.
I want to shake Samira and demand help from him.
Um, yes, I can help though. I was going to help.

Oh I do them. Do you also want to you want to

(05:26:36):

Oh excellent. Dulum I will unfortunately have
to ask because you are small folk.
I would like you to roll this atdisadvantage because can't see
up tall. I'm using my reaction to get
myself a straight girl. My species trade.
Get a lot of this guy. That is such a good species

(05:26:59):
trait. Oh, it's a class feature.
A double wide. Where's my truth meter Patrol?
All right, so you got a dirty 20, you go looking around, do
them so because again I've just how packed this place is it does
sort of take you guys a while, even to just Traverse the crowd.
So on a 20 dual em, you sort of go maneuvering around you ask

(05:27:21):
functionally every small, can that you come across.
You find another Cobalt at some point.
That looks to be wearing a long dolphin mask who you ask?
And they say no, you find. Also down here, a group of what?
Looks like a goblin couple. Both of them are not wearing
masks unusually enough and you asked them.
They've never heard of Queen Mary to see.
Also, and you sort of exploring through the crowd after about 15

(05:27:45):
minutes, you find someone who you think is pretty tall.
I tap on his shoulder. Go to tap the figure turns
around, you see a very looks like a human.
You think tall with dark brown hair.
That rolls past their caller. They wear on their head looks
like a butterfly mask, which is thin and semi-transparent so you
can see the face behind it. Yes.

(05:28:06):
How can I help? You.
Is that your name friend? Crazy.
Right? All right.
You guys continue making your way through Jaya on an 11 out.
You're not asking a lot of people though and there's just

wouldn't have changed my life. It's just fucking great.
I mean, you've got purpose, you know, like maybe that's why
people have kids, because if youdon't have purpose in your life
you gotta have something I get it now I had before.
Having kids, oh no listen. I'm learning.

(05:29:15):
We're all listen. It's all okay, just learning
because you could, you have a lot to teach me, you know, you

going for, it wasn't funny, but you know, it's just cuz I was
trying to make it sound, like I have a lot of sex.

good Sergeant you know you just got this good spirit around you.
The same parking to me at the same time.

them include stuff like that's agoodness you must tell me.
Are you a native to Water Deep or do you travel?
Oh, I as much as I enjoy. What a deep.

So you can spin the night of debauchery and get away with it
here, quite quite right. That's just like what like to
hear? I myself am a local.
Oh, is that is that true anyone?Anyone fun?
Well, there's quite a bit of revelry in this town if you know

(05:31:44):
what to look. If you like I could show you
around a bit. How long you staying?
Oh, not that long. Unfortunately I'd say I'm only
here for an extra night too and then I must be going goodness.
How tragic, do you have lodging or will you be staying at my
place tonight? I'm in, gosh, I, I guess it

(05:32:12):
depends where the night takes us, doesn't it?
I suppose it does he. He's been drinking pretty
strongly from the fire Brandy that he's got.
And as you take sips the most it's really strong.
Well, it goes down, your throat,burning and almost feels like
you have to have a water to backit up, but the finger crossed
from you Downs. The drink puts it down in
orders, another for himself. Well, I do as this.

(05:32:35):
All right, here we go, get tipsy.
Yeah, maybe actually, for Downing a whole one.
Could I get a Constitution? Say yes, it's too easy.
It's dirty 20. Okay.
All right. You Stave off and toxic, but you
are a little tipsy. And in the meantime, doom and

(05:33:00):
orfeas and Samir are out hunting, you guys, at counter.
Get another tall individual wearing looks like a deer mask
with long antlers play out, saveyourself or seething.
Of the large figure turns around.
You notice what looks like a half behind the mask.

(05:33:22):
It's hard to see their face but the skin is slightly pale green.
Oh goodness, you caught me off guard.
Hello friend. How are you ready to see?
No, I don't go by that name. You can call me.
They spotted deer. Why did you join me tonight?
For now Mr. Dear whatever you say, my friend, you know where

(05:33:44):
to find me a glass of shoulder. Keep walking, are you guys keep
walking around, exploring you and do them and Samir have done
a pretty good job of sort of, greeting out the ballroom and
going sort of grid Square by grid and investigating.
It's just taking a bit of time to actually find who you're
looking for, but you're confident that you're not

(05:34:05):
missing anyone. However, time keeps passing and
about half an hour is passed. Since you guys have arrived and
about you would guess a third the way through the ballroom you
hadn't found looking for Oro andand do them and all of a sudden,
a hush ripples throughout the ballroom, The Herald, the Cryer

(05:34:26):
strikes, the floor with his staff once twice, three times.
Bam Bam Bam. The room goes so much quiet.
As the crier Bellows out, esteemed guests, his voice cuts
through the music in the orchestra.
Quiets even may, I be the first to announce a most honored

(05:34:49):
visitor of the gala and masquerade this evening, a guest
of great station, please, let mewelcome.
A masked, Lord of waterdeep tonight known as the dark King.
Oh The double doors at the far end of the ballroom swing opened

(05:35:09):
in sort of a faint of excitement.
As a figure steps forward, unnaturally tall almost
inhumanly tall clad in a suit ofblackened armor that almost
seems to swallow light, the entire armor plate.
Male top to bottom with a matching mask and a full Helm.
The plates are all matte. Almost absorbing the glow of the

(05:35:33):
soft Candlelight and along flowing, Cape Trails behind the
individual and their Helm is featureless, or a face.
You recognize this, what this suit of armor, you recognize it,
sir, pushing through the crowd, it is.
At this point that I'd like to end our session for tonight.
Oh my God, what the fuck? Oh, you must do, can I okay?

(05:36:01):
Okay. Do I know anything about the
suit? I recognize Inhumanly tall
shadowy armor. You want to roll a history
check? I would love it.
Oral history. Check.
Yes, go ahead. Okay, 21, you know, this armor,
you never knew a person underneath it.
What is it? My armor and no, this is not

(05:36:22):
your armor, but you do recognizeit as somebody who you once knew
this is a person from Valhalla. This is not somebody who you
ever considered an ally. Oh no.
I don't. This is where we end.
