(00:00):
All right, you guys. Welcome back to run pack goes

(00:03):
play and walking episode. 30. That's right.
It's the big three-o. Let's get into it.

(00:59):
Last time we began in the interrogation chamber with
Piccolo who was brain damaged, having a hard time with his
memory and it was obvious. It was a spell So he was sort of
babbling. Doula was trying to recreate a
song. He was humming and with some
success, as the song did seem tobe jogging, his memory, we

(01:22):
teleported Abel in, and he was able to help a bit but still
struggling. Um, we convinced, um, the person
who I wrote in my notes, as being named Skeletor, but I
think his name was not that leave us alone and go get his
boss, all Skeletor was gone. We read through the cursed toe.

(01:44):
We had stolen from Dora that hadreversed spells, hoping we could
find her like, reverse, modifying memory.
Um, in the tone we found we tookturns back to get around taking
the damage and until finally Jaya found manifest memory,
which Davos tore out. So it could be used as a spell
scroll. Meanwhile Master scale of our

(02:06):
return with the leader. Archmage all Thorne, who was
fucking pissed, this guy was just kind of a cont, you know,
we were wasting his time. So I told him or shall I say?
Or if I still told him that we brought him back here to see a
new spell cast for the first time.
And after a lot of waffling, Davis did cast the spell scroll.

(02:27):
His eyes went blank. Our tomatoes are in a, no
patience for this or are other attempts to delay him including
handing over hires. Ring of calm emotions, which we
thought he was just gonna look at, but instead, he fucking
pocketed. Um, meanwhile Davos was inside
Piccolo's mind Palace, or shall I say mine Wasteland and found

(02:52):
that fucking Piccolo? Did this to himself getting rid
of his own memory? I guess I was part of the
Symphony of Nets fucking you know suicide pill tooth or
whatever. Um, we got banned from
blackstaff Tower, as we were able to prove, we'd done
anything of, you know, notable quality.
There was a lot of threatening from us to the people to get

(03:12):
hires ring back and we ultimately did on our way out.
Specifically Oro said he was going to tell, Rex you mere.
Who is Apparently one of the masked Lords of Water Deep all
the shit that they'd done to us and the black staff Tower demos
bought a lock box for the book that couldn't be scribed

(03:32):
through. We all sort of went shopping
through the markets for a bit smear also bought components to
make my bag fire proof. So I know, oh, Samir 43 gold and
then we wanted to go talk to Rex.
You may are so we went to the bar where bezel Rec Center's,
henchmen had offered to meet Doom, it was weirdly clean but

(03:56):
also a dive bar we took a phoenix shot as instructed and
upon getting drunk the walls melted around us and we switched
planes to plain of Darkness, a minor plane of drunkenness I
guess which is basically a smallbar where everyone was wasted.
Um, Abel and Oro. Gotten a fist fight Abel.

(04:17):
Easily knocked Oro. Unconscious our healed Oro.
Um, profited. Yeah, I wrote down higher wants
to fuck Abel. Deimos wants to fuck the ball.
Pretender, calm a slut slut slutz.
Do diesel and Mammon, we learneda little bit more about Iceland

(04:38):
and what she had done in Valhalla.
As we suspect now that she probably learned how to get to
Valhalla by talking to demon Lords from the abyssal plain
where she had gone. After she originally died,
supposedly all. So the architect, the pebble.
We've been carrying around that has been infinitely.

(04:59):
Expanding Dooms bag is what got her out of the Abyss but that
doesn't really make sense as we know smear helped her acquire
the architect. So that would imply that she had
somehow known smear and got Me architect before she died, the
time lines, all very confusing. Um, the lady of pain, then sent

(05:19):
to do them and told it that she wants to hire us to kills
Everett. Who is of course the evil
Aladdin, question mark. With an unusually large mouth,
who has been plaguing us and disguising himself as our
compatriots. Um, meanwhile able was I was

(05:40):
having a heart-to-heart with Oroafter their fight and mentioned
that he thinks they could have been alive very recently, that
maybe they weren't dead in Valhalla for as long as it
seems. Additionally higher detected, a
new necrotic curse which is attached to demos, it attached
to the book. And lastly, as we settle down

(06:01):
for a long rest, after a busy busy day, in the middle of the
night, dulum heard a voice, speaking of mysterious language
down the hallway. The bag, Doom starts to move,
which contains the architect anda Labyrinth of fabric, tunnels
began to move and a few dark colored fingers, slowly emerged.

(06:29):
And that brings us up to date. Now, before we get into D&D, I
also just want to point out thatwe are back to recording
remotely as is normal, but if you tune into our live episodes
first off, thank you. And I'm glad you guys got a
taste of our old campaign and those episodes actually are now
Canon for this campaign also that's spoilers and most

(06:56):
importantly, I'm so glad I can'tsee you guys anymore.
Hello. It's just it was too scary
looking into Isaac's beautiful blue eyes over your recording.
It got really unsettling after awhile.
They're so starkly blue. Yeah, they're just so, I mean,
it's like a white walker across the devil.
I don't know. That was, oh my God, I cannot

(07:19):
imagine. We have a single non-dirty fan.
So where we left off the Run pack, it's the middle of the
night. You guys are all in your Inn in
the Flaming boar. It's been quite a busy day.
In fact, it's been quite a busy few days.
Finally looking for a night of rest and relaxation and you've

(07:40):
acquired most of it. However it's just in the middle
of this evening right about the twinkle of 3 a.m. when dulum
you've noticed the first rustling and then large padded
dark blue looks like humanoid hands reaching out of your bag.

(08:01):
This being, of course, the smallblue and a bit of spots of
brown, burlap bag that Malaga gave you in which you hold the
Ernst Stone, the architect dulum.
As you see, these sort of silenthands make their way to the sort
of edge of the top of the bag. What would you like to do?
I would like to put with the bag, maybe like two feet away

(08:25):
from me. You sort of grab it and start
pulling as you do. So, you notice one of the hands
sticking out of large meaty handmade out of burlap.
Reaches sort of wildly grasping as the entire thing shifts.
It makes a move around and sort of blindly reaches out towards

(08:46):
you. Do them.
Can I get an opposing strength? Check from you?
Oh yeah, this individual will berolling a disadvantage because
they are blind in their attack. So they rolled pretty bad.
A four about 17. Yes.
All right, so the hand reaches out towards you're trying to
grasp but your wrist, you pull back though, not letting it grab

(09:08):
and you see another hand reach up.
You're not sure if it's part of the same entity as the first
one. But a grass in a different
direction, reaching out of the bag, you've pushed it a few feet
away from you now. Would you like to do?
Okay, being on the safest distance.
I would like to cast a message at this creature.
Okay, you cast message, what would you like to say?

(09:28):
Hello, I do not mean you any harm.
What is your current goal? I think.
Words come to you, that are sortof human and nature and you
think you can understand them? They're heavily accented and
strange, he sort of decipher this word's fine fine.

(09:51):
If I let you out, would you do me any harm?
The response you get back is a bit durable than emotional.
Find made this fine escaped harm, only a formed, the
creatures speaks great. We have a deal.
We're gonna open the bag. You slowly open it and again

(10:14):
sort of this completely noiseless hand reaches Higher
and Higher and you see a thick woven elbow come out after it
and then another and yet anotheryou can't quite tell it first
but after these hands begin sticking themselves out, you
like to identify two creatures, sort of equal in size one,
perhaps a bit smaller than the other made of burlap and noted

(10:37):
bits of twine and string woven together like a puppet.
The first one reaches out and places us firm hand on the
ground. Make a very quiet foam.
Padded sound these creatures seemingly made out of cloth,
have a sort of silent in nature to them and it sticks out a wide

(10:58):
long head. You see it come out and you
recognize this head, this is thehead of a gif hip hop person Oh
the entire head is made entirelyof blue and brown cloth.
There seems to be instead of eyes small buttons Coraline

(11:20):
style and its mouth is sort of hanging half open stitched
together in some places to keep it closed.
The creature pulls itself out you see it's not wearing any
clothes per se but it's body is cloth in itself.
So it's seems sort of in a half state of dressed and undressed
and right beside it. Another similar looking, but a

(11:42):
bit smaller, hippo person. Exits, the bag.
The two look very similar and perhaps you You sort of look
them up and down and you notice the smaller one is sort of wider
in the midsection and have longer stockier legs, while the
tallest individual that came outfirst, has big sort of Rippling

(12:07):
muscled arms that are a bit ill proportioned for its body.
Both of them seemed just not quite perfect.
Something. It seems a bit wrong with them.
The two exit, the bag though, padding very Softly, on the
wooden floor of the Inn, they look around with their Beady
black button. Eyes look around and you see the

(12:28):
first one then the second lay eyes on Jaya the sort of pad
carefully over walking slowly. One of them opens their sort of
strange sound comes out of It doesn't sound like any language,
you know? The two creeper.
Oh sorry yelling out loud. Everyone wake up.

(12:56):
All right, with that. The rest of you guys slowly
awaken. Jaya you wake up to see.
Two creatures staring down at you.
They look strange, but almost made in the same way as your
kin, they have the same shape asyou similar ears.

(13:16):
But something is so inherently wrong, and it's like a
nightmare. As you wake up to see this, the
rest of you wake up to, to see these two large creatures, big
Burly things in your room, Hell,is that?
What the hell is that? Oh my gosh.
It's kind of look like you, they're not. the rest of you

(13:53):
start waking up and you get a better look at these creatures,
they're Large they look kind of heavy too tough despite being
made of fabric. You can tell they have a decent
amount of weight to they move around with them malicious wakes
up what the fuck. Holy shit.
Oh, what the fuck is that and you hear him draw one of his

(14:14):
blades? Why do you sort of hovering over
you know Jaya looking down at you?
One of them opens its burlap mouth and you hear this strange?
Boom. Sound it's unnerving and they
sort of leaned down over you. Oh, hello there.
Soldiers, where can I assist you?

(14:37):
Make yearly stand there. They don't say anything.
They seem to speak in these strange noises.
They don't sound like words to Speak again, one of them reaches
out to Word you a slow moving hand toward your neck or
shoulder. Touch me.

(14:58):
Okay, one of them, the one reaching out, grabs onto sort of
the Scruff of your your sleepingshirt and lift you out of bad
with this kind of surprising strength.
You go up as the hand wraps around your neck, lifting you to
sort of standing position and you make eye contact.

(15:18):
You're about the same height as this creature and it looks you
sort of eye to eye. The other hand slowly reaches up
and moves toward the other side of your neck.
Sort of alarm goes off in your head.
That something is wrong. I should be fucking attack.
Uh, fuck Malaga, creeps closer with two daggers and hands.
I think I could tear him up. They look like they're made a
string. I got to shoot it.

(15:41):
Okay, well to hit okay, baby. Okay 19.
All right, Jay that does hit your bullet.
Echoes out loudly as a spark appears right in front of your
face and this loud sound as it rips through the fabric roll
damage. Where the Charlie this thing

(16:10):
weak to fire? Yeah.
I'm doing the damage and dandy on, fuck this.
Yeah. All right.
Eight damage as a rocket of energy shoot through the room.
If that doesn't take him down, Istill have another attack.

(16:32):
How do you you notice that he does not go down from that and
stays up? What else would you like to do
you enrolled? Maybe we don't kill him.
He was putting his fucking hand on my neck.

(16:55):
The second one unfortunately does not hit and goes wide as
another Pang of bullet. Fire shoots out wildly streaming
into the roof and leaving a small hole.
I would now like everyone to rule initiative.
Please Do them. You watch is the two creatures
seemingly frightened by both of flame, of the spark of the of

(17:16):
this bullet and also, the ripping and tearing of it
through. One of their bodies seemed to
have become aggroed Oh, 17. Maybe Team.
Maintaining 19. Wow, you guys got a big roles
these. All right, so you guys all

(17:39):
rolled as initiatives begun as these two sort of bag version of
Jaya began drinking combat with you.
Yeah, you look through the Bullet Hole that you left and
the one front of you, the largerof the two with big arms looking
in your sort of horrified to see, it's just layers and layers
of burlap all the way to the center of the creature.

(18:00):
You blew a hole right through itfrom into end and yet as you
look in you see no stuffing no beads nothing but layers and
fabric overlaid on top of one another making probably likely a
very thick body. A carcass of fabric Giants your
turn once again what would you like to do?

(18:20):
This bitch on fire. Can I throw a torch at it?
Having just woken up. You don't have any lit torches
right now. Jay, it would take an action to
light one. A lighted up.
All right, you take an action, you pull sort of turning over.

(18:41):
You find your path, your backpack right next to your bed,
sort of being attacked in your bed.
Like you keep that Fang on you, but you quickly grab a torch off
to the side and you're adventuring gear, wrapping oil,
cloth around it and use the spark from your flame from your
gun to light it. Lights up and illuminates the

(19:02):
room. Now Jackie said, Thank you.
Keep that thing on him. Right?
You now have a torch on you, youstill have a bonus action and
movement. If you would like, would you
like to do anything with bonus action?
Be like, touching them with it. Unfortunately, that would be
considered an attack. Yeah, that would be considered
an attack so I would be in an action for that.

(19:22):
Okay. Well, I'm just Explosion of
light in front of you. You see they both do sort of
take a hesitant move back and you get a better look at their
form in low light, they looked pretty near-identical to you and
except in a few minor ways. But now in the light, you can

(19:45):
tell that they're very patchy, their faces are much more
scattered and hobbled together. One of them is a nostrils to be
just sort of an inlet of a pouch.
The other it's two eyes are sortof misshapen or one button is
almost two times. The size of the other, something
you didn't really notice in the door but they look very
improperly made and it sort of sends a dick down your spine to

(20:07):
see the two of them, okay? Have heard what giant said about
fire. Sorry, my D&D Beyond crashed.
This is why everyone should use for just better than the India.
Money. He sponsor is Forge.
Okay. So the funny thing about fire is
I got Mason's permission to reflavor.
All my fire things is lightning instead so I don't have Any

(20:32):
foals in particular, but here iswhat I will do.
I am, did we get a long rest before this?
Did that count as a long rest? Um, actually this would not
count us alone, rest. No.
Okay, so unfortunately, I don't know what my health was that I
think it was at like 7:00 after higher heeled me in the bar, so
I'm not looking great or a face wakes up first thing, you know

(20:53):
this, he looks like shit. Second thing, you know he's
really upset to find. He was sleeping next to malaga's
action, throw a grease spell around these bad boys.
So here's what's gonna happen and unfortunately this is gonna
apply to YouTube Jive, but I know you're so Dixie.

(21:14):
So it's gonna be a 10 foot square.
These squares on the map are five feet by five feet, right?
That's right. Okay, right here.
And they each need to make dexterity saves giant included.
Okay, one second. Let's see what the wonders of
modern mapmaking on forge.vtt dot.com every map we can have I

(21:37):
will have it five by five squares because if its 10 by 10
I'll just make them. Oh, love that.
Wow, that is such an improvementon other D&D online sources and
physical maps. Thank you for.
Thank you forge. All right, there are two roles

(22:02):
are in one of the two. Got at 12.
The other is 17, moving much faster than you expected for a
bag of burlap, okay? One saves the other does not and
thus Falls flow alone. Prone Jai you unfortunately need
to make that save as well. Oh, perfect.
So one of them Falls prone, the other doesn't, um, and or if

(22:26):
they allowed, why should One of them falls down and then don't
really have a bonus action. I can use right now.
I'll start drawing my Eldritch Cannon but I need to take an
action to activate it. So that's my turn.
I will start running over here. Yeah.

(22:48):
All right, you cast grease throwing out, grease on both
Jaya and these two creatures. Now, they rolled in immediate
save, but as your grease lands, right on top of the torch that
Jia has lit out right in front of You notice a burst of flame
now, um, orfeas just grease, have a stat block for when it's

(23:13):
caught on fire. Not my copy of it but we've
always played it as it. Oh yeah.
So unfortunately I didn't think about the fact that it would hit
your active torch. That's my bad.
I was thinking you throw my bag full of gunpowder as far away as

(23:38):
possible like over here. Okay.
You sort of immediately turn around and hook the bag of
blasting powder. You have.
This is not just gunpowder, thisis the firework powder.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, hook it away. So, the, the grease burst into
flames and the small ten by ten Square lights up.

(24:00):
You see the bed that Jay is in the sheets immediately?
Catch Fire, still sort of sleepyfrom waking up.
Now, immediately as a bursting covered in Flames, Jackie, give
me another dexterity saving throw as the Flames lick around
you. I'm sorry, it's all right.
I live these, I live these I live Jay, you got a 12 on your

(24:22):
dexterity saving through. You're too bad versions of
yourself, both got a 20 and a 23rolling.
Pretty damn good. Moving quite fast, the two of
them, sort of jump out of the way of the Flames, taking, but
half damage, but Jaya. As you're stuck in the middle,
you take the full damage. A total of 11 fire damage burst

(24:50):
out in this Square. The two bad creatures that jump
back both take half of that but Jay you yourself or struck with
the full 11 and your caught on fire as well.
Your bedding is caught on fire Court.
In your hands is a fully fully illuminated.
Now is the room is lit, but I had the champion of constitution

(25:13):
still has a lot of help 41 baby.Right or face.
Anything else you'd like to do with your turn?
No, the turn. All good.
With that. Next step is malice who now with
his daggers out, goes running into The Fray Jesus fucking
Christ. I get out of the bed.

(25:34):
You'll die in there. You're on.
Friend, he runs five, ten fifteen, twenty right behind
Doom. 25 to one of the other jayas making two knife attacks
against its smoldering corpse. Mouldering corpse reference.
Whoa. Oh one of them, a five does not
hit the other one and that 20 does.

(25:56):
As Malaga strikes true for a total of four times.
Four eight plus three. Thats 11 / like a to this bag
creature as it sort of screechesout.
But injured now was a big slash terrorists through his front
side. Malik just looks away and sort

(26:16):
of, has this horrified looking at his face and go, so that
didn't fucking feel. Right?
It felt like cutting into a fucking blanket.
Oh, that was nasty. I didn't like that.
Didn't feel like, Flash. Oh.
With that the two bag creatures go next.
One of them sort of stretched toskirt around the side of the bed
where you are Jaya, avoiding theFlames very carefully coming

(26:38):
around to this side. That's wanting to get, even
close to the flames and moves five, ten fifteen, twenty feet
jutting around the side, toward the closest person or a face.
Know. We're here.
The creature reaches out towardsyou making a grappling, check,

(27:01):
can you please give me a strength and opposing strength
role you sick? The creature.
Oh yeah, 13 13. Oh wait, they also oh they got a
14. This giant clone he.
Wow, he got the same role as youbut you have a minus one here.

(27:23):
The big white Arms Reach around your chest or a face in the
creature. Pulls you in for sort of a bear
hug. It's all sort of scratchy, like,
fabric is. But as it reaches towards you,
and pulls you in and crushes, you close to its body.
The crush does eight bludgeoningdamage as the creature, then

(27:45):
grabs your body, and then moves another five feet cracking you
with it. The other creature, the one sort
of like you do them turns back to where you want to open sort
of bag mouth. Making a noise that you can't

(28:08):
understand. And reaches out towards you, in
a similar fashion, could you also make me a strength,
Athletics, or acrobatics check, please?
Oh, yeah, it gotta not one. Oh okay dude looks perfect.
That's called intimidation you know.
Okay. Yeah the creature reaches out
towards you and you sort of Slide by and it knocks into a

(28:29):
bunch of boxes that you guys setup in the room and it snows out
towards you upset and a bit confused and that's the end of
its turn up. Next then is Blum.
All right um, Is the Greece still on the floor?
You look over. Yeah, it's still on the floor.
It's like still lit a flame too.So now it is both on fire and

(28:50):
greasy. Okay.
Um, I guess I'll just shred up push this guy Into the Fire.
Okay, we'll do another strength check.
I got the same rules last time, 19.
Yeah, you're broken that beats a16, which is what he learned and
Jaya gets. You push its hard as you can and
the creature goes stumbling back, five feet as you get it
right in the knee. It falls back and you hear it

(29:12):
Screech out. He Has it falls into the flames
and you see fire and reef it? The Flames bite out at it for.
Oh, six damage and the creature catches on fire.
You meet me start to see seams ripping in its body and its head
tilt up and a strange. Rhythmic noise comes out of it.

(29:37):
Okay horrifying I'll start making my way over to the other
one that's tracking or all right.
You make your way over you sort of maneuver around some boxes
you see it dragging or a Fage sort of still in this bear hug
but you can tell Orpheus is unconscious.
That is as the two of them movesside by side.
Cool. I guess.
That's my turn. All right up.
Next is able. Wow, what's on God's green?

(30:01):
Earth is this? Are these enemies.
Why do they come from the door is locked.
Oh, as you know, the better whathas to speak to me?
I'm a tire. Don't you play games with me?
All right, I should know a thingor two about enemies if they're
going to be parading into a home.
Steps forward, five, ten fifteen, twenty across the room,
to the one that's holding or a and without a weapon on hand.

(30:22):
Still on armed. Able goes to sort of Shreya.
What looks like certain legs, sweep motion, ducking down low
and kicking a leg out. Hard toward the knee of this
creature, right? The role is when unnatural 20
that does hit. The strike lands.
And you see the creature sort ofbuckled down taking four plus

(30:48):
two, six damage, smack able to then goes to yank you out of its
grass or a fast, making a strength check Open a bad role
able to six while the inurn giant gets at 10.
Not quite enough to pull you out.
Or if I says, you're still sort of locked in this Ironclad grip

(31:10):
was able to struggle. What, what is it?
It's, it made us a sort of fabric, isn't it?
Is this a Golem? I'm quite confused.
Someone better explain this, to me, this moment and Abel in this
turn up. Next is the most first, I will
move about 10 feet and then looking at my spells that are.

(31:34):
So conveniently placed in one table.
Thank you forge. I will cast off our Firebolt,
sorry. Okay.
Roll to hit my beam rickrolled. That was my alarm going off.
To 16 it. A 16 does hit.

(31:55):
Go ahead and roll damage. And are you rolling to hit the
one that is holding or a? So the one with Jaya the one
holding or if it's got it, thankyou.
Hello, roll four. It's all right.
Still a good role though. You see a fireball sort of smack
it to its giant backside and theFlames?

(32:16):
Lick up at the burlap for a moment.
But you see it's not enough to quite catch the creature on
fire. Nevertheless though, it does
leave quite a cinder in the backof this creature.
As you see some sort of strings begin to unravel that are
holding the panels together. It grunts over his shoulder at
you and tries to continue marching forward past all these
people. A must there, anything else

(32:36):
you'd like to do? Oh, that'll be my turn.
All right. Excellent, that leaves last but
certainly not least higher. What would you like to do?
Um, I'm gonna move forward, fivefeet standing next to Deimos and
then I am going to yell at them.Hey, I'm the only blue one that

(32:56):
can be in this party and then I'm gonna, I'm gonna let out my
draconic cry. Here we go.
Three, two, one. So, everyone now has a bandage
on both these two creatures as they are within 10 feet.
You guys remember that? But higher remember to remind

(33:19):
people to. Yeah, I will listen.
Thank you. Um, and then I allegedly and
going to pass a healing word at a second level for Orpheus. a

(33:40):
flavor wise, I'll probably just say like rites he and see All
right you heal for oh 12, dammitor 12?
Yes, and higher. All right.
Excellent, turn that was good. So or face you wake up it had
not been long enough to get backto your terms.

(34:01):
You do not have any visions of the afterlife, okay?
But you do find in that you werestill wrapped in a bear hug, by
this creature standing right next to you.
It's frightening and you try to wiggle out.
And you find, you're still held fast on your turn, you'll get to
roll again. But you're awake it back around
to the top of an initiative. Jaya it is your turn.

(34:22):
As you start your turn in a fire.
Jaya you are. Unfortunately going to take a
bit of fire damage right at the start of your turn.
You take three fire damage as you stand in the Flames as your
bed to Burns around you. All right.
What would you like to do? and, 38 HP, I'm so up so much.

(34:51):
Help you guys all have that muchhelp 52 HP?
What? In yesp, oh my God, six, right?
Holy shit. Ya know, your scene is
reasonable because my 39 and you're a fighter, so higher is

(35:11):
27. Oh yeah, no.
Fucking shot. Dude in the negative.
He's got that armor though. Just think about how high.
My AC is. Yeah, see that's what makes it
worth it. Okay, well, I'm gonna keep going
for the bitch in front of me. All right, still seated in bed,

(35:32):
old man, with the fucking guns. Only get up from my wife.
Oh I got and that one. Okay the this might be a good
time to take into consideration.The gun rules.

(35:53):
Oh yes this is actually the first not one that I remember.
You get it sorry sorry. Oh well the thing is I get to
attacks so true. Good memory their higher so yes
the net one is inverted. So you just you missed the first

(36:16):
shot though. You got a two finally rolling
like dog shit bro you're okay guys that's he hasn't stretched
his joints yet. They kind of hurt still.
The readers aren't on. All right.
What was the second rule here? I'm 11 with that.

(36:38):
I will get up and walk out. Yes, unfortunately, you will,
um, you're too bullet strikes. Go wide into the ceiling yet
again. And as you sort of step out of
bed, and try to pull yourself away from this creature, it
lunges towards you. Rolling to hit.

(36:59):
God. Hey 17.
All right, so 17 does the creature reaches out and sort of
smacks you hard. It's wide arms trying to wrap
around you but missing and said sort of settling on to
hammerfist to your shoulder. The two big fish land for a

(37:22):
total of nine bludgeoning damagewhack.
And is there anything else you'dlike to do when you turn Jaya?
Two's. All Frank.
All right, or a face. You're up next.
Okay, I want to try to break out.

(37:43):
Okay. Actually, so I have a question,
so I'm currently wearing my boots with the winding path.
And this guy has been walking around holding me, right?
That's right. So did he move on his turn?
His last turn. He did, he did.
Um, trying to. Yeah.
And said of trying to strengthenmy way out.
I will simply teleport back to where we were on the last tour.

(38:06):
So unfortunately actually that is not an unoccupied space.
It is occupied by higher right now, think about how tiny I am
though. That is a good idea or a face.
That's really cool. But of course, we need to be an
unoccupied space. Okay, I try and fail to do that
then I'm just gonna wiggle make a strength.
So right, I have learned that these in earn Giants have a zero

(38:30):
to strength, so you've got pretty good odds.
Okay, we'll have a minus one so if you thought about that, okay,
cuz you're standing on top of me, this is gonna take me a
second. Yeah, I do.
Okay, I already I already got here another way.
Okay, strength normal. Oh, I wiggle.

(38:50):
You wiggle out sort of dropping to the side and getting shunted
out. So I guess the closest on
occupied space, which I'll move you there.
And pull out my Canon. All right, you whip it out.
You notice, as you sort of Wiggle out to the direction that
this an urn Jaya was moving toward was toward the bag, open

(39:13):
on the floor. Oh God, he wants me for real you
pull up at the cannon that wouldyou like to do?
I use an action to turn it on and I'm gonna put it on Force
Ballista. Mode.
All right, it is 13 to Unfortunately that does not hit
of course doesn't. Okay so all this.

(39:35):
Yeah it's a lot of a lot of goodGoogling though, you know, for
next time. Alright.
The first ballistic goes wide, as he goes shooting off, his
magical dust emanates behind it.You Shunk it into the ceiling
above sort of, by giant, bullet holes.

(39:56):
Anything else you want to do in your turn on her face?
That's it. Well, run further.
I can't show that right now but I I take like a few steps back.
Maybe 10 steps. All right, you suffering
opportunity attack as you do so.Fuck.
I'm within his range. Sorry I couldn't see in that
case. I won't do that.
Always you not have Forge right now.
Nope. I see.
I haven't even gotten to see what unoccupied space.

(40:19):
I was shunted to. We can wait a second for you to
reboot it. Okay.
Okay, I'm back in, I'm back in. Okay, so I can't.
Step back. So I'll just stay there.
Okay. Then Molly guess we'll go up
next who runs up to the one who's on fire and goes oh guys,
are we killing these things are trying to shove him back with
like red, kill them. All right, so that's God.

(40:39):
Thanks higher. I'll just make two wild swipes
been against the creature in front of him, a 10 and an
eighth, bad rolls. Both blades fail to hit and he's
sort of steps back as the Flames.
Sort of, lick a little too closeto him.
I saw I did my best. Did he attack with Advantage?
Oh, this is good. We'll just treat his first two

(41:02):
attacks as the first attack and now he gets a second attack.
Thank you hire. Your cry was very pretty and
made me think that, you know, it's cool, you know.
It's better. This time, he actually rolled
better and got a 15 to hit whichdoes barely hit this creature
Landing his blade. His little dagger, he's got a

(41:23):
little iron dagger. For a total of five damage
placing this creature more and more at some sort of unwinding D
stringified form. Do you stringified up next to
these are these creatures from the bag.
One of them, the one on fire goes, rushing towards Magus and
almost shoves him out of the wayto get out of the Flames.

(41:45):
But at the start of their turn, they take a D6 of fire damage
and get three, which let's see here.
Seems to affect it a bit more than expected and the creature
goes running into malagos and just as it slams into his body
he cries out and the creatures body falls on top of him limp
and of course I didn't know anything.

(42:07):
That's what's very little work on my side.
Second creature looks around andcries out again. and tries to go
barreling towards Iowa once again shopping past people
showing past Higher and access it goes running by.

(42:28):
Well, yeah, claw attack. What with me?
Um, 15 to hit nice. That does hit four damage baby.
Excellent. People sinks of punch and
successfully for three damages, as well, as the two of you guys
land. Hi, are you hit roll to hit with

(42:48):
the mace? Oh yes. 17, does hit roll
damage. Holy cow been so team.
Most going into Tire, what did you get for a damage with your
mace? Sorry, it's not letting me roll
damage. I'm trying to figure out.
Okay, D&D Beyond somebody's rolling with Advantage.

(43:12):
Demos also makes a strike demos.A 19 does absolutely hit.
Nice. A true strike.
You said two damage. Yeah.
All right, the May strike down on a cracking into the shoulders
sort of sags. It tries to go past you demos.

(43:33):
How much damage do you do 11? Yes.
All right, just as it tries to pass you the most.
You shake it down with the true strike and I whisp of radiant
energy shoots out lighting up the room.
And that's the light subsides. The creature is on the ground
collapsed. And that's the end of no, you

(43:53):
must dropped it. Fuck.
Yeah. And it drops dead after your
strike. You guys go back to being in a
somewhat quiet room. Say, for the crackling of fire,
a bed is of officially consumed in the flames.
And you see the floor is starting to get chewed up as
well. Smoke rising up into the
ceiling. Drifting out through the bullet
holes, Thank you this. But I wonder why we had to do

(44:21):
such a thing. What are these things?
Come from the back. I was wondering just the same
thing. What's bag?
What is a Magic Stone in it. That makes the bag infinitely
replicated itself so it's sort of like this beautiful beautiful

(44:42):
thing into the sea. Oh, it's it's gonna cause the
seed to kind of infinitely expand.
Its kind of dangerous wherever it is.
Well, it shouldn't have to be our problem.
Where did you get this thing wassuch an artifact should be
locked away, Iceland stole it and we found it in a while.

(45:05):
We were helping out this end whowas totally a real aunt.
And this Stone was at the bottomof a hole smear recommended
that, we make it into like a necklace and where, from the
outside of us because then it won't have anything to
infinitely. Replicate, but we would have to
go into the bag and get it and it's already really deep and
scared in there. Oh, look what's happened here.

(45:26):
People kicked. One of the bodies on the ground,
the one right in front of you Jaya, Jaya.
You look down and see the creature.
That looks remarkably like yourself dead in front of you.
It's last moments of Life. All it wanted to do was run
towards you and that's sort of scares you

(45:51):
if we don't shoot them first, they want to attack us.
Yeah. Really didn't feel good about
that. so, did we just Like a hugknow, I guess he did hug me

(46:13):
today. So Mmm, they probably didn't
want to be alive anyway. Maybe we put them out of their
misery. I'm trying.
Insane. Fucking move.

(46:35):
Well certainly you don't all feel good about this.
I mean these two creatures died in our rooms today and they were
practically born from you over there Colonel.
Sergeant, sorry. Uh, what does this mean, why
would they come here? You know, I wish I could give
you an answer when I look at them.
I feel the sense of like, impending, doom.

(46:55):
So I don't love that. Yes, well, that's quite
frightening, but it's seems likethe whole Magic behind us.
I think there's more than just those two in there.
I mean, we open in the bag, one point turn another, should I be
frightened, but some highers arecoming out next, I wouldn't be

(47:16):
afraid tires. I mean, we none of us have been
in there for that much time. Compared to Jaya.
That's true. Do we think it was hires?
Could they cast magic? Wait.
We should we should look at the bodies.
Is it just Giants treats or are there art traits too?

(47:37):
Oh, gosh, it's Me, would it be clones of or a face or clones of
Iceland technically speaking? Hey, everything Iceland okay,
that's really a sharing. I think feel free.
If anyone would like to roll an investigation, check on the
bodies to look through them. I guess I will the Flames

(47:59):
continue to Roar but oh yeah bedroom uh yeah yeah, great.
Um, Watson could you give me a hand?
Sure. Oh my good investigation.
Check on the body's. Oh you do.
I got the higher? We take those.

(48:29):
All right, the two people pokingaround the body's the one that
died from fire is a lot harder to investigate.
Malik is sort of kicked away from it.
And the body continues to burn. Now, most of the fabric is burnt
up into Ash and what little is left.
Now, it just seems to be layers and layers of fabric.
It's hard to really discern any unique features.
You guys are all in your locked in room at the Flaming board.

(48:52):
The two creatures have just beenkilled in a flame is begun
roaring in the corner at Giants bed.
The flame now is reshipped, a ceiling licking at the top and
you hear it sounds like voices, hurried voices beneath you as
molts of fire began dripping down the wooden slats
Increasing, as you guys sort of mull about what you guys like to
do. Guys has anyone like a water

(49:16):
guy? Right.
I don't think we have that in this campaign.
I used that higher was the waterguy.
I used to be I used to have create water and now I only have
shape water know, well can I tryusing prestidigitation to put

(49:36):
out the fire? The Flames roaring.
Now in a 15 by 15 foot circle seem a bit too large for a
simplest adaptations though. Unfortunately. what we're
burning down and get another thing it's Samir, does he have
anything that's Can I use vomit to dim the fire?

(49:59):
You hold out your hands and a bit of glow appears as the
Flames brightness. Subsides to about half of his
previous brightness. Oh, I'm happy.
To live Creator. Destroy water.

(50:20):
I I don't know your own fucking spells Jesus.
You've only been alive. You're whole life.
It's hard to remember when you have more than two spells
malagos. I create 30 gallons of water.
And then, yeah, gas shape water to try to, like, make it doused,
the flame, perfect higher. The water guy makes quick work

(50:44):
and you extinguish the flames inan instant, you move the water
around water, bending it in different directions, dowsing,
all the little molts of flame and after a good 15 or so
seconds, all the fires put out and what remains is a choking of
smoke. That feels the room.
Is this gonna come out of our security deposit?

(51:05):
Most searchingly the water drains quickly and you know that
actually drains into a small hole in the floor you look down
and see what look like two, extremely perturbed, no Mich
people two men in the floor below, looking up angrily, their
eyes crossed and arms crossed screaming up in a no Mich
language. No Miss, I believe you guys both

(51:31):
then here. Sorry about the Flames.
One of their eyes goes wide, there are two.
Yeah, they're both serves. You one of their eyes goes wide
as you speak the language? It goes, I didn't mean to upset

(51:53):
you, hey, fucking keep it out ofthere, right?
Because a loud every night. Oh, sorry about that.
Yeah, you should be and while I'm at it and you see the other
ones sort of grabbed his shoulder and lean in and whisper
something the two. Look at each other and look back
up and he goes never mind. Never gonna die.
Here out. Sometimes people can get a
drink. I think not.
Oh, able looks over goes, what do you mean or her face?

(52:16):
What are they saying down there?So you can't understand?
Wait, no, that's all. What was the difference between?
It's like, it's some sort of accident.
I guess Iceland. In the body remembers.
I don't know. Oh, goodness how confusing?
That's sort of things, baffles me.
I unfortunately only know the common tongue as was speaking.

(52:38):
Now perhaps you a bit more connected to your body than I
am. Mine, that's sort of thing.
Doesn't happen to you. Yes, you haven't.
Like, I don't know. Maybe for sale in you'd like
realize you know what to say. Perhaps, but I've no interest in
such things barbaric, really. It could be useful.
I guess my body is just smarter maybe more refined.

(53:00):
Oh, you seem just as smart as before or a face.
It's a good thing or a bad thing.
What color you were the ring finger for a reason?
Right. The thumb for a reason, right?
I was but the reason was it necessarily that I was very
smart. I mean it didn't hurt more of
the fighting type more of the loyal type.

(53:23):
Or a famous was loyal to a falseI should say.
It's not, it's you can't be loyal to a fault, my friend
gives you a smile. While she's all we have in this
group at the end of the day so he's like a good treat to me.
Yeah, all right, fires out, I guess I'll start mending the

(53:45):
floor. You can mend to that goodness.
Can I mend this? You look down.
It's a decent sized little hole in the floor, but you do think
that the slats are all connectable one by one.
It will take a few mending attempts, but you sort of sit
down and begin cracking at it. The the gnomish people beneath

(54:05):
you watch up and stare angrily as to repair the hole in their
ceiling. Heard you mad about this.
No, I can't tell they're mad. I'm I just wave I chat at them.
You shat at them. I sit down the hole.
Just like in the park and it's not just a shit.

(54:28):
As you begin repairing, the holethe commotion beneath sort of
subsides. You guys hear a knock at the
door, A hurried knock-up. Hello in their excuse me.
This is the proprietor of the Flaming board.
We've heard there's been a bit of a disturbance might be
coming. Just a second.
Yes. Well I do open up soon.

(54:51):
To the corner. I don't think I'll see him in
there. Yeah I'll just grabs the body
and says Dragon it. Oh put it back in the bag I
guess. I mean it could say they're just
costumes in the back. Aren't angry at us?
Yeah. Oh try.

(55:18):
How about you tell me? We just knocked over a candle or
something. I'll go outside.
Come in right. Thank you.
And go to the door, but I'm gonna put my body in the way so
that they can't see inside. All right you sort of jab your
body into the door. Frame is open it in our met with

(55:39):
this short halfling man that youguys recall from a few nights
ago at the Masquerade. These dressed in sort of a fine.
What looks like suit and tie though, the tie is tucked into
the shirt and there's sort of a long flowy coat in the back.
As the man looks up at him because I'm sorry to just wait.
Oh, there's in the room with youanyway.

(56:00):
Sorry to disturb your sleep. Um it's just we've heard a few
complaints about a fire is that if you need to worry about he's
trying to look around your body but his mouth just hippo.
Sorry. I'm just my bones aren't what

(56:20):
they used to be and, you know, Ipet on my belly.
Getting used to the to these extra help me my body.
You you should be lean leaner. Yes of course, just anything.

(56:45):
But you set up a handle researchon fire.
It's is there still a flame? What exactly happened?
No, I put it out. I mean, I just, I had, you know,
put it on. I turned on the candle and I was
ready for bed and then my, you know, but don't go down.
Complaints that there's a, I believe a hole in the floor that

(57:15):
I'd like to take a look at. Oh, I don't.
Remember me in a hole and turnedto look what like halfway
through? I had my clothes everywhere.
It's kind of embarrassing. Please do not apologize for such

(57:36):
things. If you just said to me and I
could have a look around myself,just please just put away my
underwear. It's really doesn't matter.
So I've seen a home's in much worse States.
Annuals, I assure you people do nasty thing in room.
Sometimes if you just let me inside, he starts pushing past

(57:58):
you now or face you fix another slat.
You're not Shit. So um we're working for you on
it. Why are you lying to this man,
doesn't it? Yeah, we're repairing the hole
anyway. Or a face or face, keep going
keep on fuck, malagos, runs to the other bed and pulls the

(58:18):
sheet off of it, and then drapesit over your body.
Sort of leaving you a lump with the hole right next to you under
the Fuk up fine. I like it turned on and you get

(58:39):
a slight illumination from beneath.
I come over the under the blanket and cast a light.
All right, there are now two shapes sort of wrestling.
Underneath this blanket. Right in there.
Oh, Excellent. You got double mending Duty

(59:02):
higher holds the flashlight. All right.
I think we're good Sergeant. He cannot open the door.
Now know, I guess this is a smile.
He opened the door, you open it and the man briskly pushes by.
She's got a sliding in between you and the wall of the Bill of
the room here, slipping into theroom and Kevin, a quick look

(59:23):
about you notice, he moves quickly sort of scanning the
walls and then the floor stopping at a few of the, you
know, larger boxes of Supply. As you guys, keep in your rooms
and the traveling packs, you leave all over the place, he's
very quickly. Sort of overwhelmed, by the
number of people in this room aswell.
Just see you all know. We don't exactly have a limit on
number of guests per room, but at this volume, you certainly

(59:46):
wouldn't have enough for everyone to sleep in a bed.
Are you sure you want to keep this Arrangement aren't here
permanently? You know, we're just, this is
for that, man. It's 3 a.m. sorry.
Lowlights. So, that's not what I'm saying

(01:00:13):
at all you, you misunderstand me.
So I just, I'm just need to havea look here.
You see if you've damaged the room at all?
Unfortunately, we might need to address further actions.
Now, let's see, any sort of pokes around, looks in the
bathroom, makes his way back out.
Looks at the walls and then looks at the floor.
And then finally stops in front of the sheet.

(01:00:35):
She's very mind. Removing yourselves is this some
sort of slumber party, or do yousleep like that one second,
finishing something not. Oh, And some blankets and on top
of a pillow. Yes.
Well, would you mind? Removing yourself, do them and
or a face with the both of you can buy?
You've just about finished just a few more seconds.

(01:00:55):
Is that casting? I hear under there.
What are you doing? A mess.
It's just that hole that I spoketo you about.
There are holes in here. Enough of this lollygagging

(01:01:22):
remove that blanket that watch, unless you were willing to
explain yourself sir points backto jail.
Blanket. You you sort of Wander Over from
the the front area? Not just tell me what's going
on. What's under there?
What did is there? A hole or not?
It's me and higher and do them. Hi.
And just as you say that or if you don't finish The Mending,

(01:01:49):
The blanket is removed from you soon after and you look down and
look at the Fairly normal looking hole or rather the
floor, the whole being removed. Now, instead, it's replaced with
these very similar looking slatsthat you just cast Magic on the
figure, looks the over sort of Stomps, a few times leans down
on all fours. Hands, and knees style to look

(01:02:10):
and smell at the wood and go. What were you doing under here?
What was that spellcasting men? Someone, I heard someone say
something. Someone needs to speak up now or
else I might get to go get the guards.
Okay. Look, it was it was mending.
There was a whole, we're really sorry and we fixed the whole

(01:02:34):
Master. There was a hole in the floor so
I see well unfortunately, according to the statues of the
Flaming boar, I will have to charge you all for such a thing
but you can't even see. I'm sorry I'm sorry but it is a
statute of our establishment additionally if this is a
warning to you, all if any more damage is done to the room then
we'll have to remove you from the premises banished.

(01:02:55):
You understand? Yeah.
That makes sense. Yes of course.
I'm sure you all understand. This is just normal procedure.
I'm sure you've been to ins before, you know, this is not
normally accepted. Now then let's see here and
quickly pulls out a notebook andScrolls through what looks like
some ledgers, right? Damage to the floor, looks like
I have here a fine of 20 gold pieces.
Now who would be paying the fine.

(01:03:15):
However, my case for my friends,I point out that explicitly
says, six silver and for copper I have zero.
Go to my name. There's no way where this broke

(01:03:39):
right here. I have 13 gold.
I start pushing you throwing money at you.
I spent it all on food. What do you mean or a famous?
Come now. So you know demos money bags,
you think you can? Oh gosh, my pockets, are a

(01:04:04):
little light at the moment, but hey.
So what was your name, sir? The small halfling's eyes sort
of squint, as he looks up at youand goes the name is heimlich,
sir, like the maneuver. Big fan of your maneuver.
Was my grandfather's maneuver. Finally.
Well, you see perhaps you've heard there was quite the

(01:04:28):
commotion not a couple of days ago.
Um, there was actually a bomb threat that was almost
successfully carried out at thisestablishment and I don't know,
perhaps you don't know this, butwe were actually the group
responsible for saving. Not just the bottom floor, but
yes, the entire Inn from imminent, destruction.

(01:04:51):
So perhaps, you know, you could see, um, perhaps you give some
leniency on, such just an accident, you know.
What's a whole compared to Totalobliteration?
You know our demos, let's get a persuasion check.
Big girl, big roll, big role, I remember.
I number, oh, Big Ten. Oh my goodness.

(01:05:18):
Okay, the thing is though, is you make good points, the most
and the halfling gives you a look and threw a knobs along.
You can tell he's being somewhatconvinced by you though.
Not fully and he finishes, right?
Well you did all save this placeI suppose and yes I do recall.
The night of actually I was on staff that night you might
remember me running around a bitand I did see the heroics that
you all did save for that. Beautiful chandelier that we had

(01:05:41):
to lose but I had to stand well I suppose we can make it
exception to night. Unfortunately I just gonna have
to put you on the book so I'm gonna have to charge you, but
how would we settle for 10 gold piece of That sounds perfectly
recently and I'll take higher school so if you yeah yeah, I

(01:06:05):
got a buddy. Okay.
Alright thank you and please subtract 10, gold, pieces,
higher and the warning still stays.
Please be careful about doing a more damage to the room.
I would hate to any sort of looks around sort of Squints at
where jaya's bed used to be before it burnt up into Cinders
and down the floor. I swear there were two beds in

(01:06:27):
this room where we Yes. If so then the price for this
room, have we been overcharged about that?
Alright, I'll have that looked at right away?
Can I get a deception? Check please.
Or if you want to give me a deception check and the most The

(01:06:55):
truth though, I didn't say. I get it.
I know what you are. You did a good thing?
No earlier though. So 17 her.
All right. The figure Squints and sort of
nausea and goes, right? So I'll have that looked into
and we should have another bed brought up shortly.
You all have a good night and please be careful with flames.

(01:07:18):
Next time a good Thank you. Thank you heimlich.
Thank you. Have a good night as well.
See you around. Yes, of course.
Good evening all and please havea pleasant rest of your stay.
And the door is closed, quietly sort of turn over to see in the
very far corner of the room underneath many packs and bags,

(01:07:39):
that you guys have the two sort of blue black corpses of the
bag. People sit in a pile, able
stands nearby and shrugs his hands.
It's the only place I could think luckily they blend in with
the background here. Yeah they just sort of look like
Bags. Only when they pull them out you
see the real shape now then a complication of voided and very

(01:08:02):
little fee pay at Lie about what?
Oh yeah, people below us all thehole.
And if there's no hole, then there the Lions, basically, but
there was a hole. Guys.

(01:08:25):
True. I mean I didn't I didn't
understand what they were saying.
No man, but it didn't sound verynice.
Angry. But his friend was fine and any
set of a good night. So that's not an evil fellow.
Well, No. Maybe we can send them flowers
or something. I just really nice.
I just feel like they would knowwhether or not we had a second

(01:08:48):
bed in here. Oh I I guess not.
Yeah. So quite a few rooms to keep
track of participate in the lying.
There it really fell out of my control now.
Can You Mend a bed out of Ashes UPS?
There were all washed it down into the lower level two,

(01:09:13):
there's nothing left. Oh, I don't think so.
No, I bet she could build a new bed, but I don't show if he
could make it look like the old.I'm sure we can work something
out. I'm sure we're not.
The first people to have destroyed the bed really.

(01:09:37):
Well, if I made these bag people, the creatures that
exited from Dooms Abode in that little container that's just
what really must be spoken about.
Look at these beasts. He was dragged the two out.
Now, if you guys to see, yeah, yeah.
Do you like did you see you talkto them.
Do them. Yes.

(01:09:58):
So that intelligent of assault, Somewhat, I think Hmm.
Would you say the same intelligence is Jaya?
Or I would guess more. Hmm yeah like animals oh hi.

(01:10:20):
I think they could talk. This one's animals.
Those were people really doesn'thelp me feel better about it,
but we're not meant to feel better about, do better about
him. I meant to go in there and
retrieve this stone or perhaps seal off the entrance forever,
and give it to somebody who actually knows how to take care
of such a thing. I mean, such a powerful
artifact, and what you're using it to make a bag bigger, really?

(01:10:41):
That's the best we can do with it or storing it for what?
I don't know. But Iceland stole this from a
very powerful woman and I think she was ever discovered.
I might bear the consequences ofthat section.

(01:11:04):
What's the nonsense? Justice will be done
accordingly. You yourself committed.
No crimes. So you should be fine.
It's now, I've been harboring itand we merge the idea of energy.
She told us, it was missing and we pretended not to know where
it was to even got this other guy and interrogated him.
Like he might have it and obviously he didn't Ablaze eyes
go wide in his mouth opens and he sort of holds his hand to his

(01:11:24):
heart or a face. You've been keeping a long-term
lie against somebody. Goodness, I thought I knew you.
I oh this is what I meant when Isaid you maybe don't need to
know. Look, we're trying the best feet
can but we sort of got billed. A shit hand and you were a part

(01:11:46):
of this. You were all a part of this
Great Falls kept away from a woman in power.
No less jails. I don't want to deepen her
lands, I have committed no crimes.
Therefore I wasn't meant to be in that prison.

(01:12:08):
Simple as that, that's what I'm telling you.
If you were just handed it to this individual in power, the
moment you would realize that nothing would have happened, but
now you see, it's really too late.
How long is it been? How many times did she
requested? Perhaps, we could give it to him

(01:12:28):
now and say we Sure it's origin.So once this was the right
Stone. Oh but damned with it.
You haven't met father Lucius and if we tell her Iceland took
it she made to learn Some weird things should go to jail either.
Well has he committed a crime? Yes it did in the bedded Abel

(01:12:49):
sort of nods at Doom. Whatever you guys.
Whatever you guys communicate inthat.
Look, no, no, no, no, no. I agree.
I can't be alone in these thoughts.
That's all I was say. Okay, don't really thinks me
should go to jail. I mean, to cry, it would with
the lady of pain. I don't think it would be jail.

(01:13:11):
Yeah, that's so true. Not at all.
I think we'd be lucky to be, um,Still like, father, just some
systems of government do have outdated, or perhaps immoral
laws. We'll just be worth it to find a
local representative and have a discussion about it has any

(01:13:37):
lawyers. Hmm.
Do they have policy makers? A council members?
Perhaps a senate? I think if it issue where that
big it would go straight to the person in charge whose name is
The lady of pain. You don't want us to be in pain,
do you? Of course, I don't hire.

(01:14:02):
I don't want any of you to be inpain, but you understand that?
This is against my, my morals. This is against the ethics that
I was brought up with taught by reducing herself.
I know it is. I think you'll find that ethics
are more fragile than they appear to be in the, in this
real world. And, of course, I know, I have
to learn a thing or two about this real world you speak of.

(01:14:23):
And yes, of course, I did break out of a water deep prison and I
suppose that is a crime in itself.
But I'm sure you all agree that because I could mentioned, no
crime, that is a very just in righteous thing to do, right?
Once you meet Samir, I think you'll know what I do, which is
that he wouldn't have done any of this if it was the wrong
thing to do, so can't be that bad.

(01:14:45):
Well, Focus too much on this Samir fellow.
I don't quite care about that care about is you or a face
while you were harboring the stone away from them.
And honestly I worry about all of you while you were a part of
this plot, you know not saying anything and he looks at Doom.
Now, it's just as bad as doing the Wrong that I was not asked
any questions. What would you like me to
answer? Why did you think it was just in

(01:15:07):
write that? Well, your entire team and in
addition you kept, from this woman, this lady of pain a great
secret regarding an item of hers.
So I believe it was right, believe it was right?
How could that be explained it to me?
Well, when we discovered this down, we discovered how evil it
was or rather how chaotic it could be.
And when we met the lady of pain, she did request this Stone

(01:15:30):
but we did not know anything of her character.
It would be very Reckless to give someone that we don't know
a stone that has so much chaoticpower, I see, but you speak in
the past tense, if you learned more about her character since
or the nature of the stone. Yes.
So both, but even still, it feels as though we would be the
best Protectors of this Stone. We do not know her actual intent

(01:15:52):
with this Stone, and why she hadit.
Hmm, I see. Well, that's a good point.
I had not thought of that yet. Able sits and sort of Cups his
hands and his head. Wait, cups.
His head and his, there's some cupping.
Something, and what size? Whoa.
He said the laws of these interdimensional lands are just

(01:16:15):
so complicated. I suppose, I agree with you for
now but just know, I'm still morally against this and if
someone were to ask me, I would tell them the truth of the
matter. As I have imagined, all of you
would as well. But for now, I'll keep up this
fast for you. Provided there aren't any more,
there aren't any more. Are there any more?
What lies that you're keeping up, stolen items that you've

(01:16:39):
been harboring from people livesyou've taken illegally?
No, not, does he know about the book?
What was he filled woman that one?
Oh, Look similar situation with the book.
I believe that was a bit more legally obtained.

(01:17:01):
If I recall you all explained you were quieted in some sort of
Tomb that's just considered archeology a fine study true but
we didn't turn it in Percy versus a very similar to the
stone. We also Stone in a dungeon
that's true. No one took me that I didn't
know that. Well then I suppose that a bit
more forgivable Able sort of relaxes his shoulders and gives

(01:17:25):
a pleasant smile, and you see his face grow dark again.
And goes, I've gotten a bit off track back to these creatures
gesturing at the bag. People again, what are we to do
about this? What sell their body for scraps
to the tapestry markets? They don't think anyone can know
about these. If this is the kind of thing
that's going to happen more often, we should really be more
careful. Yeah.
Yes, I'm don't really know what they're intent was either.

(01:17:50):
Yeah. Perhaps we could keep the bag
closed. More permanently, maybe sew it
shut in the meantime. Oh Mason.
I would I would like to say, I do have Arcane lock now.
So can I can I try casting it onthe bad.
It's a good question. Let me think so.

(01:18:10):
I guess you can cast Arcane lockon like an entryway, right?
So, this is an entryway. Who can you cast it on a box?
I feel like that might be a goodgauge.
You can't just yeah. So I would say this counts.
Yes. So, um, the most you can cast
Arcane lock on this. Would you like to do that?
Let's sick. Yes, please.
Okay, um, you all watch as the most sort of approaches the bag

(01:18:35):
and you sort of cinch, the Top Shot just as you're doing.
So you get a second to look downinto it.
The most and staring down the many tens of feet to 40 feet in
total drop. You notice that inside of this
bag, right? At the very bottom level of this
extended extra planar space. These creatures have stacked
tables and chairs and barrels and bags of burlap all 40 feet

(01:19:02):
in a pyramid so they could reachthe entrance.
Oh my God. It probably would have taken
them days to set this up. There are so many items stacked
on top of each other and a half Hazard pile.
This the quite Set on escaping it seems.

(01:19:25):
What you are just to this many people, you you hold the top of
the bag shut, cinching it tight and holding your hand out.
You cast, Arcane lock, which, with a magical glow.
You see the entire top of the bag should shut us tight as
possible are tight. And a bit of a small yellow

(01:19:46):
glyph, peers beside the entrance.
Way, as the entire thing gets rigid and hard as if a giant
chain is wrapped around it. Nice.
What should the password be you guys?
Code word for Advocates again. Great question.

(01:20:12):
Should we form a line? All right.
Um, I guess I'll go first. I believe it was Mastiff if I'm
not wrong. Can I do a perception check?
Because I think higher forgot orat least I forgot here.

(01:20:39):
Feel free to roll a stealth check as well.
So sick bigoted 17, all right, the most try to beat a 17.
Ah plus zero modifier. Let's go nine, can I make a
perception check to try to perceive higher listening in

(01:21:01):
Just for listening, we'll put the DC at a 15.
Okay, 18. All right, you notice higher,
listening in and you know, this higher catch the word.
I try to give you as close as possible.

(01:21:26):
Gonna go sleep, where I mean, where else can we sleep?
I don't know if Samir would wantmore visitors, he doesn't mind.
I was supposed to visit him tonight.
Anyways. Oh, we are going to make some
fired. Was actually funny because now
they're gonna make some fires instant coaching for my back.

(01:21:46):
I don't have been really helpful.
Yeah, I guess I don't know. I was mad at him, but I guess I
still am a little but I'm more uncomfortable with the bag, so
what you're mad at him for orofi.
You have to tell me, you are so whiny.
Pillow. Yeah, all right.

(01:22:10):
If we're all done cleaning up here, I'm going to go.
Okay, we'll see you. I guess if anyone needs more
space, there's more room under they most is bed.
I go even. Fastly, fire still weird.

(01:22:31):
Just a good use of just really good Spaceman really well.
It's just, you could sleep on her anyone's bed but it's you
always pick demos, is that? That's all.
There's only one bed right now. That is true.
You know, you got me there. All right.
You ascend the steps actually nosamira's, right?

(01:22:53):
Next to you guys in his room, upstairs.
Hold on, let me check my notes. Hold on.
Okay, you go upstairs Ascend to the steps and you find some
years door, I try to open it unlocked you, I walk in all the
lights are on. You notice Samir is up, sat
cross-legged on the ground with what looks like a few metal bits

(01:23:16):
in front of them. He's wearing a long monocle that
seems to have a lens at the end,some like, some sort of
telescope what's on your face. He doesn't turn up from his work
as he speaks. Oh, hello, Aura face.
I expected you utterly act tonight but I suppose you
forgot. I didn't.
Oh, okay. Um, you know if you don't want
to make things with me, you could just say you go quite

(01:23:40):
proficient yourself. I know you could work perhaps
faster. If you were alone I could give
you a few of my tools and you could work alone if you'd like.
Oh, that's that's not it. So these questions you got.
Well, first yours Alex, and you got all mad and scary and then

(01:24:00):
the next time you were like, oh,I just came back party asking me
hard questions, but they need toask you hard questions,
eventually. Okay, of course, sort of face
but it just, you know, it would not be fair for you to blame me
for something that blacks did inmy with my face.
I'm not playing with you. I'm just explaining why I
haven't done this so far. All right, here collapses the
long glass on one of his eyes and turns fully toward you

(01:24:23):
facing you sort of looking up from his City to position.
That's the way out of this. Have you?
Honest to me about you and Iceland.
With the questions you've asked.Yes, but it's not entirely.
because I know, That you just were an acquaintance of her, you
know? Friend who helped her, steal the
in our Stone and I know enough about you.

(01:24:44):
Now, I know you wouldn't have done that for a casual
acquaintance and Frederick said,you two work together for many
years. So what's the truth?
How well did, you know her clothes?
Yes, we were working quite closely acquaintances.
Still determine might use though.
I suppose, didn't number of years, we spent together.
It's, for many other people would like, be a closer to word.

(01:25:06):
But during that time she was very business.
Like we did not have a lot of personal time, and when we did,
oh, you don't want to hear aboutthat.
I do. He looks up and you see in his
eyes a bit of pleading as he steals himself and goes what a
face. Sometimes people can have

(01:25:27):
relationships that are complicated for words.
I think I deserve to know. I saw this working against me
and know you misunderstand or a face.
I just mean I'm I have trouble describing it.
What I mean, there is emotions involved that I can't really

(01:25:49):
grasp with words. He sort of reaches out his hands
and grabs at nothing. I don't Want to know what?
I also feel like I need to trustyou everything.
I know about you makes it seem like you wouldn't steal it.
Artifact was Ablaze, right? It wasn't right to steal
something that wasn't yours unless you have reason for it,
but you haven't told me. What's the reason was?

(01:26:11):
What do you said? It was just that I needed to
continue to whatever but for youthere must have been a good
reason I think so. So I don't you why don't you
pull up a chair out of her face?We could talk.
I'll sit on his death. He sort of wrinkles his nose at
that. What nothing.
I just that was clean. It's fine.

(01:26:34):
He looks over at you and pulls up a chair and sits across from
you. The two of you alone in the
room. Now he speaks very slowly and
surely orifice. If, for example you and the rest
of the group decided that you needed to say break into a
building somebody, we want that close with somebody who might
have been a bit malicious. I say, for example, X as an

(01:26:59):
extreme example, right? If you would ask me to do it
with you, I would say yes in theheartbeat.
Now that is not a mortal thing to do to break into someone's
house, and it would not be a righteous thing to do to perhaps
deal something from them or tamper with that.
But it just depends the reason and it depends the person asking
I was close to Iceland. I considered a personal friend

(01:27:22):
and all of her actions pointed to justness.
She was a person who arrived twocircad from the abyss, a plane
endlessness and well lawlessness.
They are not exactly the most law-abiding people in the abyss
and she made something of that and was able to return to a

(01:27:43):
plane of the living sort. As one might say, she went to
the abyss in the first place. No, but people go all over when
they die. I mean, I spend time with Malik
I guess since mostly he went to the nine Hells supposed that's
true. And of course I understand that
it might be something to judge but her goal which things to

(01:28:04):
look in the future, seemed to just her goals to revive her
Town, one by one, pulling them from there after lives, back to
life because they were all killed unjustly and a war in
some sorts of Battle that they had no part in.
It seemed fair and just and she said that once it was done,
once, every person was returned to their living breathing
bodies, and the town was back tonormal, she would rest, and be

(01:28:26):
done with it. And I trusted her and I believe
that. So you can understand why I
would have felt so close to her calls.
So when she asked me to help herbuild things, or help her find
people, or well, in the one chance that she asked me to
steal something, I believed it was all for the right, cause I
trusted her And since then that thrust has been betrayed, the

(01:28:49):
worst part of it was that it wasbetrayed.
When she wasn't even here, I spoke to you and I spoke to your
friends, people who seemingly know a lot about the situation
and it just doesn't add up to the person, I know.
But I suppose, that's what they say about the best actors.
Or they, the false faces of the world.
You can never know until they'regone and you just hear about it.
That seems to have been what happened here?

(01:29:12):
So frustrating. Yes sort of yes, I'm
disappointed that I trusted her so dearly it is a sad thing to
be disappointed in trusting others and Heavenly but I
suppose this is a part of life and it's something I could have

(01:29:32):
learned. And so I'm glad for that
learning moment. She was a learning moment, but I
admired her a great deal. She was courageous and smart.
Brilliant. When they came to these talents,
he gestures that the floor and gold.
She had a purpose and it seemed Noble She seemed quite well, she

(01:29:53):
was just the person at the kind of person that you could get a
numbered with. And so I did, I went and I
trusted somebody who I suppose in hindsight, I perhaps
shouldn't have but I'm glad I did it because I'm glad that I
learned from it. It makes every relationship.
I will have from men and onward,a little less trusting and he
says she was just to say to that.
Mean you wanted to truth, didn'tyou?

(01:30:14):
You wanted the emotions of what I felt.
I didn't tell you, they don't begood.
I know you wanted to throw so you shall have it.
I can dictate to you everything the two of us did.
I can tell. Nothing less will make you
satisfied. I wanted to move past this, I
saw it as an error, a mistaken, my past and something that I was
uniquely embedded over, but the more I want to forget it, the

(01:30:36):
more you want to remember it. Funny how that works.
I suppose. So let us stare at the
proverbial bandage. Then I told myself if you ever
asked about her again, I would just open myself up for you to
see it. All no matter how embarrassed, I
will get no matter how upset it makes me.
I'm glad it was satisfied you but this old also be
embarrassing and upsetting for me, all the more reason I don't

(01:31:01):
want to do it, but you are more noble than me or a face.
Your favorite. That is why right?
We met in the summer time in. Sheered in the forest.
Similar to how you all did to report a portal though.
Horus was different sort of unique.
And she did not write here alive.
What? She was a ghost and sir cat.

(01:31:23):
She lived among the ghosts or what I believe was a great many
months. She doesn't speak of that time
often, but she kept possessions positions of her own from the
abyss, small things on the important things.
But one of which was the unarmedStone, Being a social security.
Had it. That's right.

(01:31:43):
I believe it somehow enabled herto travel here.
So I don't understand the mechanism and it certainly
couldn't have been alone. She was not very keen and
playing their magic. You see, that's why she needed
so much help. Huh?
I believe as it goes in sort of catchy, tried a great many times
to speak with people and I use ghost, sort of as a vague term

(01:32:03):
simply meaning, not alive. She didn't move like a spirit or
have a corporeal form. She looked like a person and she
moved like one. But the biggest difference was
that if given a portal to the material plane, she could not
pass through it. It's forced her back, forced her
out. She was trapped a plane about to
life as you could possibly, get how to set. the person, but Keep

(01:32:30):
going. Circuit is unique.
I told you all that when you arrived, there it is.
One of the few planes were dead and the living on the material
plane. When the Dead Leaves there.
Well, they go to other places sometimes, ghosts inspectors and
spirits remain. But those are Undead sort of,
yes, unusual cases. But in circuit, a dead person

(01:32:51):
can remain there in the form. They were in when they were
living, occupy space move about speak and Converse, but everyone
who sees them sort of innately knows of their death and they
cannot do something that they'reliving.
Can the biggest of which is travel to a living plane, it is
impossible for them. I saw a big deal with the

(01:33:11):
boundless begged with planar Travelers that came through
sarkaz looking for a way out. None of them with allow it.
None of them could allow it. She was dead.
It was that simple. See.
So she broke her with the one thing.
She had the other Stone turns out to it quite valuable, and
Few lucky engagements, got her in the court of the lady of

(01:33:32):
pain. She traded it in and then
returned the lady of pain through some reason or spell or
magic or perhaps some physical concoction that I know nothing
of. If I send life it was a vile
thing. She told me painful and horrible
it lasted a great many days. Honestly, the way that Monty's

(01:33:53):
Revival has been described. It sounded pretty similar, I
see. Now, the way I understand it
after Iceland was revived and given new life.
She decided this plan to return to her home and to bring back
her. People, it's around this time
that she met me. She never approached me as a
ghost dead person only when she was living.

(01:34:15):
And so all of the stories I tellyou now from her only lips.
So I suppose you can only trust him with however much you thrust
her. Regardless though, she well she
came to a test herself. Quite strongly to me at the
kindness. I let her stay in my home for a
week or so until she managed to get back on her feet.
She so this is just after you met she staged for the week.

(01:34:39):
Yes. All right.
Similar to how you all did when you first met?
Yes. So, She made the living for a
while she well, went into the ghost district and sold stories.
I don't know if they are true ornot, but she found some people
there and told them of their loved ones on the material plane
people. She supposedly knew in life.

(01:35:00):
She sold these stories for coppers, but they were enough
for her to find the home and some supplies for her to begin
her. Mission.
See, she came to me for help. I would say frequently weekly.
Sometimes monthly she had the means of travel that I still
don't quite understand. She never spoke of it fondly.

(01:35:23):
She only said that it was given to her by a devil.
See some sort of ability that she had to.
I suppose make a deal for now asI know all devil deals come with
a price. So I'm interested as well but I
don't know what that price was she never shared it with me.
All I know is that the devil that she worshiped Was the devil

(01:35:43):
of the high today of the high. Yes, some deep, a Bissell devil
that funny enough was quite the Beast themed just as she was Ha,
I suppose that this why the devil love the hive took a
liking to and so they made them Act.
It took a long time years for her to find track down.
First, all of the people that she knew from her life.

(01:36:06):
I don't know how she did this again.
Plain of travel is difficult outof sarcastic.
I don't think she did it throughzaps but she would disappear for
many months at the time. Sometimes and returns saying
that she was able to grab a few of the Elders of her Village, or
a parent of a friend. I don't know where she went for
them, or how she got them, and Ibelieve, it's still had
something to do with this devil of the hive that she know.

(01:36:29):
But she would disappear for a long stretches.
Sometimes she would come to me for help she needed supplies or
sometimes she needed a help withhow exactly to place a soul
inside of a body. Something I was studying at the
time, something I could do with a homunculus, I wasn't very good
at it, but she was a genius and she was able to work out some

(01:36:49):
things that I couldn't and middle.
He took my information and disappeared for more months
afterwards. You see, I helped her with other
tasks too. And sometimes when she visited,
she stayed with me. After enough time, the most
started working with me and Eastland visited.
I believe, once or twice in total of what the most was
there, but not anymore. On the second time, I believe

(01:37:10):
she visited. While the most was there, I
spoke with her on private in my workshop.
She told me she was nearly done and only had one.
More tea had to do this of course, was to travel to
Valhalla the plane of Fallen champions.
She told me it was a harder afterlife to breach than most
smaller. She kept talking about the
target how most times she could Target somebody there, use them

(01:37:33):
as leverage, some sort of node abeacon, she would say sometimes,
but she said in Valhalla, she couldn't do it.
It was, she had no Beacon there.No person to latch onto nobody
of easy access. So, she needed a way to sort of
get there. Faster.
She mentioned, the one she had given to the lady of pain and

(01:37:54):
she said, she needed it back to required things from me, if you
and the metronics, metal pieces,bits, and Bobs, Arcane objects,
none of them violent. Of course, I didn't want her to
hurt anyone, and she promised me, she wouldn't and this
breaking in and stealing of an artifact.
She took drift globe and a smallexplosive device that shoots at

(01:38:17):
ice. She took a bundle of rope that
could stretch and Rewind. That will And she took my bird
and he sort of looks over and stares at the Falcon, the eagle
in the corner as well. You see some other metal bits
lock, picking tools, artificers,tools, and one night she would

(01:38:37):
disappeared off to do it. And that was the last night I
ever saw her. She never came back to return to
me my items. In fact, it was only days later
that my Falcon returned to me flying from the East.
I thought that perhaps I would never see him again and it looks
sort of lovingly over his head is a monkey list.
She never came back after that time.

(01:38:59):
I believe the announcement Stonewas still.
In fact, I have proof, the lady of pain was in bit of authority
afterwards, but she never came back to my shop.
She never visited the most, or Iagain, and after that, the next
time I saw her was when I saw you.
You were wearing her face. You want to understand like
confusion, then why I saw you. She never done this before.
Not in front of me. This connecting to a beacon that

(01:39:21):
she sometimes does. So I'm the beacon and she's done
this before. Yes.
Well, it is how she was able to contact other planes.
Some it will sound a bit violentor perhaps a moral, but I
believe that the devil of the hive that gave her these Powers
gave her some sort of hive mind ability to reach out to another

(01:39:43):
mind. Connected to her own and well
like a queen bee might control them.
Move them about. Look through that eyes.
She said, she did this merely out of respect for them and
relinquish control as soon as she could, but for those Elders,
for those parents of friends, and others, neighbors, and her
Village, she would find them in their planes, create some sort

(01:40:04):
of devil bond with them had moved them.
Like they were a puppet. The people she would take her
usually the people she was trying to bring home.
That's right. She told me she would never do
it any other way, it was Immortal to take the body of
somebody who wasn't involved in this and should for me that she
got permission from each of them, before she did this, which

(01:40:24):
is why I was so surprised when you told me that your body was
taken from you against your will.
Again, I tried to tell you. She seemed so mortal when I
heard though, again, she really didn't stop by that often.
Perhaps it was all a facade. This was the full story out of
face stopped about him. Nothing left out, the inner
Stone was taken from her and shetook it back the lady of pain
despite to have whatever Thief took this from her.

(01:40:46):
And I suppose she might have thought Islam was to blame but
the two of them had really only interacted that one time, but
bringing back to life all those years ago, Samir looks at you.
You can tell there's pain in hisface.
He's upset by the story. He's embarrassed by it.
You can tell he didn't enjoy this at all and he looks at you
waiting. So Supper how long is she just

(01:41:09):
made that? She was a.
Thank you note. Yes.
That was, um, I suppose it was supposed to mean more to me than
it did to her. I thought we'd end up being
something special, I thought shewould come back.
And I don't know, a small part of me thought she might ask me
to come live with her and that her more, but she never came
back, she might still not. That's what you told me about
her. It's seems she had the malicious

(01:41:31):
side. It seems this last person, the
last individual, she had to bring back this rate, the Sea of
yours, she was willing to go andburn the entire world to get to
burn their relationship. We had burned.
The trust that I had given the Syracuse must have been a really
special girl. She's a very special woman.
Yes. Samir looks at you pleading and

(01:41:52):
goes said, anything a second tell you, or can we be done with
it? I don't know.
Tell me this time. Did this at least satisfy, you
know? I'm sorry.
That's all right. I shouldn't have expected
anything more. Don't worry.
Yourself with the copper baby. It was a trifling thing and
something. I'm going to work out on my own.
Thank you for looking after it while I was gone.

(01:42:14):
Not to trifling thing. I mean, it's clearly very
important to you. You're a goblin 2, you know?
Yes. And it would have been special
but I don't know. I know it's a rude thing to say,
but every time I look at it, I just think of her and the trust
that was broken. Oh, every time I look at you, I

(01:42:34):
see your father whack. But I want to move past these
feelings and make something new with them.
That is why I want to put this behind us and not bring it up
anymore. Don't think nost talking about
it. Sort of made it go away.
I know I'm not displayed with you.
Like I said now then if that is all you have, then please leave

(01:42:56):
me for tonight. Yes.
Okay. Good night, Samir.
Goodbye or face. Don't worry.
All right. We'll figure this out to get
her. I trust you.
And I am smarter than I was, then I know better than to be a
full about these things. He smile, you're not a full.
I was there what she did. She wasn't right, but it's not

(01:43:22):
sure false and don't know. I think you might get to Hash
these issues out with her someday, if I were Brave, I
guess but I really would just like to forget about the entire
thing. That's not right to Samir when
someone hurts. You shouldn't just forget about
it. You need to At least, tell her
what she did. Yes together, what do you told

(01:43:45):
me? You think she did this to me?
Because she didn't think about it or she didn't think I would
be here or I would be conscious about it so you know someone's
got to tell her that she's hurting people and if I'm not
sure how to do it then I want you to just a mind meld or a
face like I told you is something to do with a hive

(01:44:07):
mind. You and her are connected.
Your brains are connected. Have you ever wondered why she
comes back every time you die that doesn't happen to other
people. That doesn't happen to Malik,
just does it, it happens to you,it happens.
So sorry you're still connected,she tried to separate but it's
still in that body and that means that I still can't forget

(01:44:29):
about it. No matter how do I.
So I will give you that you are right that I will never be able
to truly forget about and maybe one day if I do see her again, I
will. Confront her about this, but it
would satisfy me more if I neverdid well.
Good night for the face. Sleep, tight.
I mean it, you can't just you'renot doing yourself any favors,

(01:44:53):
you're not doing your copper Golem any favors, you're not
doing heard any favors, you're not doing anyone, any favors By
ignoring it? You didn't do me any favors by
not just telling me all this information.
It's, and you have every right to be upset about that.
You'll have to forgive my coward.
I don't understand you. I'll leave you to it.

(01:45:14):
He knows his head solemnly and turns back to what he was doing.
Close the door on your way up. Okay, I'll go you exit into the
deep evening tired hurt and you return to your room.
I try not to wake anyone up so Idon't have to embarrass myself.

(01:45:36):
Just do notice that conversationwas about half an hour so I
imagine if any of you guys are like sleepers, you would
probably also notice or face return.
I'm Ethan. All right, sleeper.
You the most? You would like sleeper.

(01:45:56):
Ah yes, I think so. So the most notes that I didn't
go? Well, yeah, or face looks pretty
shaken up or face is angry crying don't so it's goggles a
couple times. You.

(01:46:21):
Always your face and you can have goggles and so have like
some some aeration in their goggles 24/7.

(01:46:47):
Oh, I go lay down next to balance, roll over and go to
sleep. I could stay on your side
fucking stupid. Oh, it's that time of the month.
I hit him in the stomach. Oh, good night.

(01:47:13):
You guys go to bed. You guys.
Can please all add a long rest as this long night comes to an
end. And you all wake up the next
morning, refresh and rejuvenatedfor another day.
All right, it is a fresh day as early spring morning.
Well, I suppose a late spring morning.
You guys probably slept in a decent amount of the Havoc the

(01:47:35):
night before, nothing else comesto bother you in the middle of
the night and do them. You know, the bag does not
quiver rest of the evening. The next day comes with light
shining through the window upon mostly people.
Sleeping on the floor, they didn't.
Oh right, big day everybody. And we got lots of shit to do
today. All right, this is going to be

(01:47:56):
great. So I've been thinking long and
hard about it. I thought about it last night
and I am willing to look after that shity fucking beast that we
call a cow fucking horrifying. Creature known as Monty.
No fancy, she'll get better. And the mute look after those
three today and stay home. So you guys can enjoy the day.

(01:48:19):
How's that sound like this room?Know, I'm fucking not.
Listen. I, of course, I did that one
time and it wasn't even With some mirrors.
So you know I'm better than thatbesides I you know I just wanted
to spend some time and give you guys the full day because I know
you know, you wanted to go kill,savv Rick and you wanted to go
kill some wizard that lives in the tower and you want to go

(01:48:41):
kill rexia mere and you want to go kill someone else.
I'm sure you made. I only wanted to kill one of
those people. Yeah.
Same yours was. Epic's also right?
Yeah, okay, cool. You know, we do quite need
finances soon and I suppose killing the boundless.
Whoever this character is might notice some gold was again.

(01:49:05):
Did not give him monetary number.
Oh did she lie like a great songor a paltry sum or some other
song? Haha.
Oh, she said, it would be good to this girl.
I think finding him is the hard part.

(01:49:25):
I think actually killing him won't be that hard.
Like, he's All we need to do is fight him somewhere.
That's not his home turf right? You know I feel like if he's got
all of his tricks around he'll be stacked but if we can like
fight him in a field like we didthat, not on I'll have better
odds. It's really insightful
malikah's. Thank you, God.

(01:49:47):
It's a good idea. Maybe Ashley University.
That's a great idea. And you know, we'll have the
lady of pain on our side too. So if we do it in circuit we
might even get her help. But I don't know if she tests us
to kills average, I feel like she'd want us to do it by
ourselves. You're right here, right?
I just at least we know that no guards will come running first.
If we do it in circuit, that's all, can't say the same for the

(01:50:09):
University here. It's true. but the thing I want
to accomplish, also, I want to take his cat Fond of the
kitties. There are a face.
Nobody, when we met, she said, first off that, she knows how
she gets to the fair wild and she also saves that.
The two people who saw her are zappix and bought a book art of

(01:50:32):
Alice. So hey, that's samir's.
Last name. Is that like his brother?
I think it's his father. and, so, potentially The way we could
tell. What he wants.
I thought he wanted to hang out with that.
No, he wants to go home to the city of brass.
He wants to see his father. I think he's sending them off so

(01:50:52):
fast. I thought you were like, hanging
out with him or something. No, this is He was wanted from
the beginning. I think.
Well, hopefully, we'll save that.
I said, I like it. Like a dual.
I'm always says, you know, drop another one.
I don't remember seeing that. Oh, it was sort of the energy
you were giving When we dropped off a little Chase and Vinny, we
could drop you off next malagos.That's a funny one tool.

(01:51:15):
That's a good one. That's their nature.
Or not but I think it would be nice of us to offer him the
opportunity. I mean I love do we need to buy
anything before we go? You know I would be happy to oh
I'd be happy to you know buy some supplies for you guys.

(01:51:35):
If you need you have to You. Yeah I've got like 40 gold
pieces. Yeah, I didn't want to mention
it last night because demos was on social role, convincing that
guy to lower the price. So when I offered all the
memorandum, think we really havethe money for supplies.

(01:51:59):
I think we should just try to get to start with.
We have a very limited time we do.
I mean, what kills average, because the whole reason we're
doing this is to gather the goldfor Monty.
I thought that's true. You're right.
And we still need to find someone, you know.
Yeah, murder murder could be that.

(01:52:22):
Well, what's the problem is? We need the money and then the
murder in sequential order. It doesn't have to be emerged.
Everybody who really deserves it?
Or we can find a fresh body. Oh God.
What do one thing at a time? Yeah.
So are we going to the university to inquire about?
Where is Mavericks? Could be them.

(01:52:43):
That sounds good for me. But how are we going to go about
this as to not tip him off? Because if we start looking for
him I worried he might know somethings up.
Yeah, I don't know if we could just ask around. but we could
pose as, you know, one of his students, you know, simply
looking for his Professor, namely that True.

(01:53:06):
That sounds good to me. Maybe it's not the most honest
but we could say that how to become a better Wizard or to
become in a printed maybe just say you have somewhere.
Oh God. Doesn't even remember what he

(01:53:26):
taught at the Academy. Yeah, all right.
Okay. All right, so what would you
guys like to do? I think we should head for the
University. Well, Damo should.
But should we all go? Like, would it be weird if we're
all in a group? Well, I, I don't want any of us

(01:53:49):
facing ever so alone. That's why I think we should
spend as much time as possible prepping.
You know, if we can get his location day-to-day, we could
get the jump on him. That's true.
You know, if you if you investigating excuse me, pardon
at this is able, of course, if you're all investigating this is
average fellow. I actually might spend some time

(01:54:09):
investigating That Tune that we heard the other day spoken by
that piccolo player. Um, I know Doom.
You said that's interested in looking into it as well.
Perhaps we could investigate it together if you're interested in
turn. I think we have good all to
recreating the song that he was singing especially with a demo.
So you were able to hear the full song.
Oh yes, at least from what I cantell?

(01:54:32):
Yes. Well um, I don't mean to rush
you all along and this is fellowsounds like quite the important
one, but if we ever get the freemoment, I'd love to pull the two
of you aside. We can work on that, just
something So are relaxing up andsearching for clothes because I
prefer staying together. I might stay here and try to

(01:54:53):
figure out this fireproofing. Goop.
At least until we're ready to face Fabrics just because I
don't watch a blow us all up. I thought you said you want some
error? Working on that.
He's pretty busy right now. With what he said.
He wanted to work on it with youbonus.
You really treat yourself? As a sick, open your eyes

(01:55:25):
roller, you sick, I think like goggles that open my eyes to
what? Let me see, that Heritage.
Is it greasy like that one guy who was sick with greasy hair?
Not me. I don't.
Is it feel me? He feels you feels normal.
Fuck, do it. What is what happened to you?
I don't nothing. It.
Wait, did you, did you end up spending the light night last
night? With some are, why are you here?

(01:55:46):
I talked to you in the middle ofthe night.
He was sound asleep, snoring. He doesn't do that, right?
The most confirm does demos knowthis a demos.
You do know this. He does.
He does not do that. a sure or if yes, yes Moses a real one.

(01:56:15):
Well, anyway, you know, if you're not gonna work on it with
him, I'll go grab them. Maybe he can babysit with me.
Okay, cuz I was thinking I wouldsee here, baby, sit with you and
Samir, probably go. Wherever the most is going, I
thought demos was going with. This is all getting very
complicated. Someone else.
Just tell me what to do today. Wants to learn really bad.

(01:56:39):
All right, I'll help. I'm really good at these things.
You know, very crafty, you sort of cracks is not enough guy.
All right, so, who is leaving the room me?
All right. So, um, you guys put on all your
adventuring gear for the day, um, before I leave, can I give
dulum the chest with the black book in it?
All right, dueling your hand at the chest.

(01:57:02):
Thank you. What would you like me to do
with it? Oh, you know, just keep.
Keep your hands on it and keep it away.
Probably anyone else I think I only trust you with the student.
No offense to anyone else. Let's go higher.
Oh no, it's right here. That we'll go get some here.

(01:57:22):
Yes. All right.
So as you guys exit the room, you're a fluttering sound as a
whole host of envelopes and notes fall out of your door.
You guys are actually quite popular over the night.
Well careers, the couriers have brought you guys three notes.
You find three envelopes. There are three envelopes here.

(01:57:48):
One of them is simple and white,one of them is sort of gold and
bears, the crest of Water Deep on it.
The last one is solid black and has nothing on it.
Are they addressed to anybody? So the black one is addressed to
Sir or a face. White one is just addressed to

(01:58:10):
the team and the golden one, with the Water.
Deep Crest is addressed two demos.
Oh, sick. I got a letter, fuck.
All right, I'll hand the black one to orifice Rex came here.
Probably is. Uh, let's open the one to the

(01:58:33):
team first. So open, this is a note from
Samir. Oh shit.
He writes in simple block is fonts that reads.
Hello, all today. I will be working at a few
projects that I would like to doin my room.
So, I will be staying in please come by and visit as much as you
like, but I will be out for any adventurers in the world with

(01:58:54):
love. Samir arveles, because he's busy
today. Great, You and Me Against
average Amos. So it's kind of you that would
be great. Yeah you guys were just going to

(01:59:16):
get information where he is. I guess I'm just scared of
running into him but yeah you'reright.
It's a fine enough Fair could beanywhere Well, just don't fight
him, right? He doesn't know.
We're going to kill him yet. He Can take a long just to keep
hires anxiety, at Bay. You would do that.

(01:59:39):
Yeah, I don't want you to go allwilly nilly and start shooting
people. Well you can't, you know what I
mean? I'm not really at that stage of
my character development yet butthank, you know, but I fear that
this will be the breaking point.Mavericks does like the push it

(02:00:01):
those breaking points demos. You want to open the note to
yourself? Yes, let's do it.
All right, you pop it open inside.
It's actually this is the heaviest of the notes inside.
You are linking sound as coming with it at the bottom.
You find a handful gold pieces. Oh As well, a short note that

(02:00:23):
reads this should Supply you forthe month.
Do keep safe from your mentor and caretaker and then there's a
big seal at the bottom and a very eloquent script for Volker
the court wizard of watery. Oh I guess.
So what what that was me. Oh he was he was a mentor from a

(02:00:54):
long time ago, but stepped up. Hear that.
That's a lot of those these daysstill.
Yeah. What the fuck?
Pass them around. oh, Yeah. How much gold was in the?

(02:01:14):
Oh yeah. So inside is 40 gold pieces that
you give him money. I just want you guys.
In order for that money, excuse me.
That is true. I forget how much the original
offer was. It was something so seriously,

(02:01:35):
so low and you fought him up before 40 All right, you now
have plus 40 gold, the most and the two of you guys had out
higher and demos and Jaya you follow along as well, right?
Yeah. All right, leaving behind doom,
and, or a face as well. The rest of your little crew

(02:01:58):
here, but, or a face, you have anote in front of you.
Okay, here I go and tear it openor office like this.
Well, mine have a present. Or face.
You want to read this word a present?
All right, the very first line is all in white sort of a beige

(02:02:21):
white script from your memory of, you know, exploring the
town, you know, selling white ink is actually pretty
expensive. So this is clearly done in sort
of eloquent way, but the very first line on this page reads, I
cast explosive runes, great, as you read it, nothing seems to
happen. Oh, you read it again and you

(02:02:44):
read it again. And nothing seems to happen and
it's sort of Dawns on you that you didn't trigger this.
You must have been a part of some sort of exception to the
rule in this specific, explosiveruins.
Oh my God. So, it's about this time that
Alex was saddle over and be like, hey, can I read that?
I see a word, the first word says I well, it's the second

(02:03:10):
world. If you read it, I just know.
That's not real, let me read well, it's real.
I mean it it's real demos is left the room.
Dulum, tell him. Well, I haven't read it yet, so
I'm not sure if that would be true.
All right, let's read it. Lord.

(02:03:36):
Oh, that's kind of clever. Yeah, okay.
Now that we keep reading. The rest of it goes like this,
greetings night or a face. You requested my help in here.
I send it to you find attached to the instructions for your
request. If completed successfully find
me in person, we have much to discuss.

(02:03:57):
Sincerely, Rex Ymir and found attached is um another note,
small and sort of folded up inside of this first one and
inside is sort of hastily written.
Looks like almost in a differenthand, write instructions, the
instructions at the top label, this has how to find the wizard

(02:04:18):
that lives between the seconds. Yes.
Davos and gosh. Oh, shit.
Stables already left. Okay.
That's something good, that's happened today.
You guys done? Um, if you would like to read
the instructions, I can tell them to you now.
Or if you want to save them for another day, we can do that
though. I'll save them for now, I think
oro's not looking for this guy. I mean, until at least after we

(02:04:39):
kills Everett's, all right, you pocket, the instructions,
pocket, the note and you guys have read all your notes.
So at this point, I asked, what would you all like to do?
I imagine the Jaya higher and the most crew, you guys are
headed to the academic Ward to find.
Theoretically WhatsApp is up to.Is that right?

(02:05:00):
Right then left behind in Orpheus and dulum.
You guys have the day to your cells.
Would you like to? I'm trying to make some
fireproof jelly. All right.
Um, I gave you a material cost for that last time and Samir
picked up the components. That's isn't that right?
Yes. So Samir unfortunately does have
the components to this? Hey, do you think what do you

(02:05:24):
need help with? Is there any really?
I just I think you'd like to seeyou who isn't excited to see, do
I'm knocking at their door, I mean walking in the door with us
knocking first I suppose many people.

(02:05:47):
That's true. Well, that makes her on I
suppose. That's true.
That's not next is a terrible person.
What about people that haven't met do them?
I'd still be happy. You're very Charming.
Little guy. Did you know that?
No, I didn't. Oh Do you have a surgeon here at
Christmas Eve? You're just nice to talk to.
Thank you. I suppose.
I'll use my charm on Samir then I think Can't really appreciate

(02:06:08):
that first. As you ascended, the stairs, to
samir's room, you arrived there pretty quick.
After you left in search of someitems knocking on the door.
Or actually, how do you open it?Still has what's your, yeah, I
would go up to some used to a knock, you not politely a
flight. Few seconds later, you see the

(02:06:29):
door open and smears on the other side.
And he's got a neutral smile on his face and goes, oh, Doom, you
look lovely this morning. How are you?
Thank you, I'm doing fine. How about yourself doing well,
apologies about the note. I would have come down and told
you guys. But, you know, I think we all
wake up at different times and Isort of wanted to get the good
start on the day. Um, I've got some things I'm

(02:06:51):
building in here. You want to come?
See, sure, guides you inside, and, you know, this he closed
the door behind you, and shows you a sort of a mess of a room.
His bedroom has been turned intoa shop, the one of the beds has
been pulled into the center of the room, and a large table has
been set on top of it, this sortof General workstation as a

(02:07:13):
bunch of Springs and metal gearsand sprockets and bits of wire,
all over this stuff all over theroom, sort of exploded out of
his backpack which seems sort ofruffled and empty in one corner,
he gestures around and you can'treally make heads or tails of
what exactly you're looking at. But he goes, I'm making a new
animal compendium. It's something I wanted to do
for a long time and I think it'sabout time he gives a big smile.
Oh, what kind of animal? Well, you see I have this and he

(02:07:37):
gestures to the eagle and it's like so I feel like I had kind
of have the air and then he justjust to the to the fox and goes
and this is sort of like land and then he gestures to the Frog
and he's like and this was sort of like C for me.
So I got to thinking what else could I possibly need, you know,
so what would you do? Underground a snaps his fingers

(02:07:58):
and points at you and gives a big neutral?
Smile goes. Yes, exactly.
That's what I was thinking. Oh dude, I'm not always on the
same page, I love you anyway. So underground.
I so that's what I was thinking too.
So I got to thinking, do I want to work water like in a bit
scaredy? And then I got to thinking,
maybe I want to have some sort but apps like a and he sort of
gestures are on the room and he goes, well, I don't know a lot

(02:08:20):
of Earth like creatures. I know warms, I know that one
that one is pretty easy, and I know, vegetables, like that one
down. I thought maybe like or like
maybe a golfer but those don't seem quite right.
And so it's just it's like the most obvious answer and he just

(02:08:41):
was to the center of the table now and shows off a big
blueprint that he seems to have sketched out the night before
I'm making a mole. That's great.
Samir. Thank you, doom.
So I'm keeping quite busy today.Don't worry about me.
I am in good health and a okay, but this is just something I
want to do today. If you guys need me for any
emergencies, please come find meand I'd love if you stopped by,

(02:09:04):
like you are doing now. Is there anything I could do you
for? But oh, yes.
Or a video said that you had some components.
Oh yes, that's right. For the fighter.
Police gel that we are going to make.
Yes. Yes, well send or affairs up
whenever he is ready. I'm ready to make it when he is.
He requested that. I used my terms on you and
Retreat them for him. Yes, he said I'm quite Charming.

(02:09:33):
Well, that is true but don't worry don't use your charms on
me at all. I have everything out of his
needs but why would I bring it down there?
The workshop is here just in order to face whenever he's
ready. I could ask him for you.
Thank you so much. And again, you are, very sorry.
That's something you should always know.
Thank you. Descend the stairs and find or a

(02:09:58):
face and Malaga in the room as well.
Tick Monty, who is still doing bed rest and has some sort of
orange paint. Smeared on his head and the cow
creature. Tell him, did you get the stuff?
I visited Samir. He confirmed that he has your
items and that he also said thatyou could come up at any time
for them. I see.

(02:10:18):
Did you try the charms? I did.
He actually identified my charms.
So he saw them coming. Yes.
Okay. Well, you see unsettled.
Is there any reason? I don't know me and smear that
sort of a hard conversation lastnight and I didn't think he'd
watched to see me again. So soon, you know.

(02:10:40):
Oh, I apologize. I didn't pick up on that.
It's okay, I'm really good at hiding it.
So you didn't mention anything. So I don't think that he's
thinking about it that much. Oh he I see.
It's much. Let's go.
Sure. Are the two of you.
Sorry. And so, where are the two of you

(02:11:02):
interested in heading? I guess to samira's room to get
the stuff. All right, you begin heading up
on your way. We'll jump now to demos higher
and Jaya. The three of you are boys out on
the town. Yeah, walk outside you exit, the
Flaming bore and see the bright Sun above you.

(02:11:23):
It's a cloudless day today and abit hot as the spring wears on.
There is the sound of birds chirping in the distance and the
waves of the sea crashing nearbyat the Docks.
You guys have a bit of a long walk to go to get to the
academic quarter of the oppositeside of the town.
So in about the 20 minutes or soit takes to walk.
You guys enjoy a fine morning, you can stop into a pastry shop

(02:11:44):
if you'd like and get some breakfast you get to pass by
some children playing in the street and many workers and
general, custodians of the city making the rounds in the
morning. How On the walk, you guys here,
the town criers about every block or so crying out the news
for the day, the news for the day is as follows, mmm warning

(02:12:07):
to all the graveyard. Ward has been quarantined due to
a new sickness be warned. It is entitled The Iron Shadow.
Oh, stay clear of the graveyard War, many folks have been seen
entering and exiting at all graveyard worker and diggers
have been quarantined for this new potential sickness, entering
our city. Let this not be like the blue

(02:12:28):
waste that ran through our town,not ten years back.
We, the city of Water Deep shallhold strong to disease and
outbreak. Please warn your local official.
If, you know, someone with an outbreak and other news, a Pious
blind man has been killed in thetemple wall priests What?
Hey, terrible tragedy. So I know this but just so the

(02:12:51):
audience at home knows this the blind man who was killed is
probably Chase oh cry or continues with other things.
Doc Ward, seeing its highest grossing yet.
Record number of ships docked inthe port.
As of yesterday, it seems this spring would be a great year for

(02:13:11):
trade in and out of the city. And finally, additionally, there
have been quite a few great plans made for the 30th
Generations. Day of waterdeep the Open Lord.
Clay declare has informed everyone making an open address
soon regarding the general events and the day-to-day agenda
of the festival look forward to it.

(02:13:33):
And then the Cryer sort of Loopsback to the graveyard and this
is what you guys here. Well I don't understand why
would anyone hurt father just inthis form other than I don't
know like maybe. Yes.
I mean, I know why I would Exactly.

(02:13:57):
Yes, that doesn't quite odd. Doesn't it higher?
I mean, I sure he didn't even have money on him, you know?
So maybe he pissed somebody else.
So don't even know if he could have.
He he seemed so harmless and empty as is and only seemed to
Echo. Good ideas.

(02:14:18):
Um, I don't get it. Well, there goes there goes our
Prime candidate for, for your brother's sacrifice.
Gosh, should we swing by the temple Ward, real quick?
I don't know. Let's just quite odd.
Just try to figure out. Maybe who killed him.

(02:14:40):
You don't think Zachary's. Had anything to do with this,
right? It must have been someone we
know like there has to have beensome reason.
I do want to find out though. Maybe now isn't the best time.
Oh, look into this later. Gosh.
And how did how did the the disease you can get into the

(02:15:05):
graveyard District? I don't think my leg is ever
even went. There is it possible?
The butcher visited. I went there.
Oh my God, I hope not. I hope he just sort of, you
know, died on that plane. But, you know, I think we both

(02:15:29):
know that might not be like, I guess, let's just go to the
academy. I don't want to think of these
things. Any longer right School?
The school, right? So you guys make your way all
the way toward the academic Wardeasy to spot to the great

(02:15:49):
academic ward. In fact, it's where you guys pop
out of your portal when you arrived here at the sort of town
hall center of the academic award.
The building's all great and brick with large towering
arches, and bell towers at them.Welcoming you all in, and you
passed by yet. Another group of what looks like
tourists passing through gettingsome sort of tour from a guide

(02:16:10):
walking by, I don't know, your left or see the academic wall,
this is one of the oldest buildings in waterdeep.
They passed by you guys as you watch.
So what is your plan in the academic world?
You guys like to go? Let's sign this bitch up for
classes. Should we just enroll?
I think be kind of fun. I, I think that'd be smart.

(02:16:33):
I could have my own truthful reasons for wanting to learn
wizard Wizardry. Giant, perhaps you wish to learn
to know your enemies. Better be a perhaps I think.
I think that I'm a lot of peoplearen't too fond of you know, all
The Magicians and shit but I guess I'm with it.

(02:16:59):
Nice I guess I guess we're gonnalook for the administration
office then. All right.
Give me a just a quick investigation.
Check to find that. Fuck if only someone were here.
Can I give hope? I have, I think minus one to

(02:17:22):
end. Oh and I got an at 20.
Oh, that's All right, then higher you take the lead and on
hole in one. And in fact using some very
intellectual Insight uses from the buildings, you determine

(02:17:43):
that the easiest building to walk right into on accident,
would be this one over on the left so you make your way over
and find the biggest set of doors.
And sure enough, right on entering you're met with but
looks like a very cozy little office and a large plaque that
reads academic reception and entry.
You imagine that this is sort ofadministrative building and a

(02:18:04):
very sort of bookish looking young woman, looks at you all,
as you make your way in a short,cropped hair, hello.
I was at a word. The woman has short cropped hair
almost in a bus style model skiing and huge like bottle Rim,

(02:18:24):
glasses on, that's sort of sag down on her small nose, was I
wrong? No gives you a look and looks up
from what looks like too large tomes that she was reading out
of and goes. How can I help you?
I take it back. I don't.
Hi. Sorry, I forgot what I was

(02:18:47):
saying. I think, could we enroll in
classes? Maybe all of us.
Oh, yes, of course. There's a small fee depending on
the class and I'm sure you understand some classes require
sit and prerequisites, but I'd be happy to look into it for
you. What did you tell me?
What? Every of study you're interested

(02:19:08):
in and she gives us a small smile.
I believe it was a planer and dimensional studies.
Let me take a look here. She sets one of the two large
tomes aside and pulls the other one to order something through
it a bit. You see her looking through a
huge laundry list of classes, they offer at the Academy here,

(02:19:30):
and eventually, she finds the one she's looking for.
And yes, it looks like that's actually a rather small area of
study. We only have three classes
offered in the academy regardingthat subject.
Now, unfortunately, this is highlevel magic.
Um you all will unfortunately need to take a prerequisite
course intro to Magic intro to the Arcane Arcane and you spell

(02:19:53):
focus and have to use it. In fact, that looks to be 15
classes in total, you need to take before you're allowed this
plane. I won that is, of course, have
you studied somewhere else? Do you know this already?
Ah, it's I I've studied um, other at other establishments.
Yes. I see of all of you with you.

(02:20:14):
I will our students. All right?
Yeah. I'm trained another way, not
necessarily with the magical stuff.
I see a pardon sir. Is that a firearm?
You can't have that in school. Oh it's yeah I'll put it away.
I'm sorry. Thank you.

(02:20:35):
I actually just recently took a class on ammunition and
Firearms, so I I think I recognize that one she gives us
a sheepish smile. And now, you must be great at
your job. Look, if if I can be frank, hi,
Frank and she's funny. She was smart.

(02:21:05):
Where, where I come from my goddess and my entire plane.
It's, it's falling apart. We've all been lost.
Separated, and frankly, my goddess has lost almost all of
her power. And there are certain needs that
need to be met for my civilization, my race, even to

(02:21:26):
continue. And that, I, my goddess asked of
me to learn play in our magic and use it to help the people
where I come from. And I, I promise, it's just
cause I just, I don't know if wehave time for all these classes,
I can show you my transcripts from the plane where I come

(02:21:46):
from, but, you know, it's a foreign people don't usually
make it out here until alumnus. Of course, we're expelled.
Which is what happened? Sure, surely, you understand.
With this sort of complicated. With this tail that you're
weaving here? Higher, could you give me a

(02:22:07):
persuasion check? Okay, I can show you my
transcripts but they're kind of made.
Oh, did all of you guys go to school?
That's kind of crazy. It was a very informal School
more like Camp. Oh.
All right to 15. So she looks at you and as you

(02:22:29):
continue speaking her eyes sort of narrow and she takes off the
big bottle room glasses and wipes them off on a shirt tail
and goes Jason. Sure, I do believe you.
But unfortunately, we really do have a lot of version
regulations here. So um, while I trust your your
story, you might have to prove to, to me that you can actually
do the thing. You say, you do, I'm sure you

(02:22:51):
understand, okay. If I can prove myself in an app
to test, sure. Surely that would.
Yes. So, um, the three of you will
all have to do so. Um, would you prefer a written
aptitude test? Or would you prefer a so
demonstration Channel? Aptitude test both are available

(02:23:13):
to you and I could set him up for you right now.
And just so we're clear the aptitude test would be on
Wizarding in general. Yes, the prerequisite To play.
No magic. Yes, I see.
Well, okay, so it's easier. All right.

(02:23:33):
You are you a practicing wizard sir or if you've been out of
practice, because this test is, I've heard quite difficult, and
I believe it lasts about five hours long.
So if you have to practice with it, you might want to spend some
time studying I could recommend a few times for you to study,
unless of course you'd like to try it right now.

(02:23:54):
It is this test one I could retake or yes, of course.
But I we do charge a small fee here.
Two gold peaches per attempt. Oh my goodness, I only have
three gold but my name I'm good at the bars and go and this is
this is what you all want right to attend this class because um

(02:24:17):
I just want to make sure that you're interested in this
because, you know, I don't know,it people who are uncertain, who
go into these kind of things. Sometimes they try to get weeded
out. I have heard and she sort of
glances down at the toe professor. is a sort of exactly
where we wanted to take this class in particular, he seems to
know you Do you?

(02:24:49):
Oh, I guess I'll let demos cut. Quiet me.
But he just seems so counted from what I've heard.
She sort of looks at you and then back to demos confused and
goes, okay. Um, I just go ahead and write
that on your intake form, then that you're interested in the
professor just in case they're ends up being a substitute so
that you don't get the wrong. Maybe I'm alone in that mindset.

(02:25:12):
Apparently, maybe just for me. That's all right.
Can I sure? I'll put it on yours.
Let me hold on and she um, writedown a few things you notice.
She asked for all of your identification forms that you
guys all got the first day, you entered Water Deep, you pass
those over, she looks through them writes down the names that
are written on them and then passes them all back.

(02:25:33):
Well, they're gonna know who killed this bitch.
You sure and push the car with like to take the written test?
What about the other two of you?The demonstration test will only
take, I think three or four minutes.
If you know what you're doing, we could get that away right
now. In fact, you might even make his
afternoon lecture this afternoon.
I think he's got one in like, a few hours.

(02:25:56):
I had a practice, I understand. Um, so this could be the kind of
thing that you might want to study for to take the written
test of just a kind of class, you want to take him.
You could study. Well, I take the test if it's

(02:26:18):
going to be five hours. I mean you know I'll put you
guys in the same room you know, you guys can take it together.
No cheating, no. Yeah.
And you young man and she pointsto demos.

(02:26:39):
I'll try the the demonstration. See how it goes.
Excellent. All right, just a moment.
As I get everything prepped and then I'll be back in just a
moment. She scuttles out of the room.
Leave me you guys alone. Oh with that.
I will get. Hi here and Jaya each Ten Gold.

(02:27:00):
Wow. All right, thank you.
Do we know who has our actual object of planar Transportation?
I mean, I have the bag of holding but someone else holding
on to that, that might be of useto you during the test demos.

(02:27:25):
I thought or a face kept his hands on that one.
I think it's in my bag. Do any of us have any hope on
this? All right, unless I get really
lucky on that test. Yeah, well, we'll see if I, if I

(02:27:47):
don't pass the the demonstration, then I'll just
take the written test with you guys.
And then pops, we could wink wook.
Something out, was to be able tofind zevik.
And now we know that he has a lecture.
Just this very afternoon. If we were able to somehow find

(02:28:10):
its today, the day that we want to kill him, but it's certainly
a lead of where we could go next.
Perhaps if we befriend a studentThat could.
Yeah, it's a good idea. I would rather not involve other
people in our situation. I feel like if they found out

(02:28:31):
that you know he was Uh, you know, I'm sure we could find a
way to make sure they don't really connect the two events.
Many other it is important to this was higher holds your like

(02:29:00):
hand giant. It's like hey um the things this
anxiety thing goes both ways. You've got this.
If I do think any reasonable manor woman around because I feel
like they most really leans towards any form of violence and

(02:29:20):
I'm trying to lean away from that.
In the last place feel better. Oh, extensively about this
violence, as it kind of goes against everything I stand for
and, um, well, I would hope thatmy praying would be enough for
you to look. I, anyone would want, anyone

(02:29:41):
would want that, hello? I understand that I just don't
want to involve other people. There's no way, you know, when
action that only affects one person, We don't have to include
the students in it. We don't have the friend.
One get me on it. It's kind of, how about, let's

(02:30:08):
just see how this thing goes. If, you know, we got a bail on
this little Bell on this, I, I think this is the beginning of a
searching and I think, you know,we only have more chances from
here on out. I'm gonna cast a bless on all of
us. It's only for one minute.
So I assume it won't actually like help me and giant during

(02:30:30):
the test but hopefully he can maybe help they most All right
let's um soon after the woman comes back into the room,
holding a huge stack of papers cut and divided into two
sections as well. She has another much smaller
piece of paper in her. Other end, she walks back in and
places the huge stack with a full in front of you.

(02:30:52):
Jaya and you hire and she goes okay.
Um, I'm gonna set you guys up ina room over here.
If you follow me and you and sheanswers down at the pages in
front of her demo, right? If you film me as well and she
guides you guys down into a room, she leads you a few and
she keeps going few rooms passed.
You passed a few other doors. And eventually she stops at a

(02:31:13):
room that looks like a classroom.
It's small, and she opens the door and leads all of you
inside. So one of those little rooms
that houses maybe 20 people in total and it looks empty right
now, perhaps abandoned for the day, with all the classes finish
she sort of moves some desks around these thick wooden desks
with wooden chairs. Sort of stools behind them,

(02:31:34):
until all the desks are sort of pushed out of the Week, except
for two in the center. She has them both somewhat side
by side about two feet apart, and everything else is pushed
forward and way into the corner,she then goes up to the front of
the room rights. What looks like some chalk on a
chalkboard behind her which reads out Simply the name of the
test which is the planar magic prerequisite exam.

(02:31:58):
She then places up these large stacks of paper on each of your
desks along with several pencils, which look to have been
sharpened for you already. She gives you all a smile and
goes, okay? If you guys want to start right
now and you missed your demos, We've actually got somebody.
So I don't actually know magic that well.
So I don't know if you what you're doing is right or not.

(02:32:20):
So I want to call and wanted theexperts to have a, take a look
at you. So if you don't mind waiting
about five minutes for them to come and then take a look at
you. But for now, you missed a higher
and you Mr. Jaya, you guys can start your exams.
Yeah, I'll just be waiting at the front and I'll watch you.
And if you have any questions, you can ask me, okay?
All right, 20 bucks says, glad comes back.

(02:32:42):
Um, quick question before you leave the expert you're getting,
is it the expert on Plano magic?Oh no unfortunately, no.
I think Richard just preferring for a lesson right now but I'm
getting someone who at least knows to spell that you have to
cast. I think it's just sort of looks
at her notes. It says here teleport.
You need to teleport somewhere. That's what you gotta do.

(02:33:04):
So um I'm just gonna get someonewho knows what teleporting looks
like. It's just a second and she's
like well I mean it should be pretty obvious, right?
You just go from one place to another.
Yeah, there's I mean there's only one spell like that you
know. Um but I mean pretty high level
spell. I just I don't want to walk all
the way to the black staff Towerto get someone like yeah the

(02:33:25):
black and I hear they don't evenanswer you know like the couple
times you try like you could be out there for a while.
I know when I know I told you I'd be back in five minutes but
it could be like an hour and I don't want to do guys alone
because I really want to watch that test to make sure they're
doing all right. So uh you know maybe it's sort
of looks back and forth, sort. Of being persuaded now and she
goes, you know, maybe if you just do it in front of me right

(02:33:46):
now, I'll just sign you off. Right here.
I said, okay, I mean you only have to do is go for one place
to another. That's so pretty good, right?
Yeah. Sounds very wizard to me.
Okay, awesome. This is gonna be great.
Okay, wait, okay. Hold on.
Let me set it up here and she goes okay.
Um, let me just go right here and she stands some sort of the
middle of the room and she puts you at one end of the room and

(02:34:06):
she says, okay, go from there tothis far end right here in this
corner. You think you could do that for
me? It's Gotta just teleport.
By the way, it's a Teleport spell.
That's the one you need to use noise.
Um, how far is the are the two. Look, it's only about 40 feet
savior. You have like a cough thing
where you cough and then teleport.

(02:34:28):
Is uh, oof. I don't have that anymore.
Oh, No, no, we're not. We're not.
Okay. Okay, I got this.
I got this. I got, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Okay. So I'm gonna cast Misty step,

(02:34:52):
right? Okay, right.
But then I'm gonna, I'm gonna pretend to like sneeze while I
do it. So it kind of like, messes it
up, you know, maybe and then andthen when it falls short about
10 feet, you know, it's like no big deal.
I just I kind of sneeze during the spell, you know, really.
I'm trying to see if this can, if this belt can help you at

(02:35:17):
all. How is she like, is she just,
does she give the Vibes that she's going to just like look
and see if? Um, like she's just gonna watch
this visually. Yes, she gonna like Yeah.
She's standing there. She's standing there.
She's got a pin out in front of her and a little, like,
notebook. Would looks like something on it
and she's just watching and listening.

(02:35:39):
I mean teleport, can't be that complicated, right?
You just go from east to another.
I can't think of any other spellthat can do that.
Me neither. Um, And I'm quite well studied.
So I believe it you seem like a prepaid.
All right and you want to do Misty stuff.
Yes. And and feet short.
Yeah. Oh yeah.

(02:36:00):
All right, I'm gonna need a performance check for this
piece. Ah, one D4, we just won the
trivia. So we had a inspiration to use I
killed somebody. Oh you did oh buddy.

(02:36:24):
My God. All right.
Um, what was your role? The most 15 in total.
Okay, I'm gonna have her roll a perception check.
Now let's try to beat a 15 because effectively you're
deceiving her. Maybe I should is your deception
higher than your performance, oryes.

(02:36:44):
Wow, it would be, you know, because you are deceiving her.
Give me a deception role instead.
So you use the same number that you just rolled, but just add
your deception modifier and set up performance, okay?
Then it would be 18. Oh my God, someone's proficient.

(02:37:05):
All right. Now she's gonna roll perception
to try to be in an 18. Now that's a good role.
So we'll see here. Oh no.
All right, it was a 12 plus 2, a14.
So she was under, which means you step forward a true sneeze
loudly as you sort of disappear into shroud and appear 30 feet

(02:37:25):
in front of you. She looks over and sort of looks
at the wall and goes, oh, you all right, did something happen?
That looks like he didn't quite make it.
Oh, sorry. I was performing the spell, in
my eyes, got watery, and I blinked, but ah, I mean I guess
is close enough, right? I mean, unless you want to do it
again, I mean, I'd be happy to know.
That's that was good. You got pretty close, um, and

(02:37:46):
she sort of Squints her eyes though and she goes, you know,
there is one more thing, which is that I, I think that might be
a spell where maybe you just move really fast instead of
teleporting. So it got me thinking that,
maybe I want to test it to make sure that you're not just
running really fast. So hold on a second, she puts on
her clipboard and then she runs over to the wall and moving with
great speed. Begins constructing a sort of
elaborate wall made out of desksand chairs.

(02:38:09):
The sectioning the room off in two different sections um while
she's doing that. So how did she place the markers
for this was like chocolate or something?
Uh yes. She just placed two chalk
markers on the ground. Okay.
Okay, maybe it while she's doingthat.
Oh, could I be easily? Try to know with the marker?

(02:38:36):
All right, give me a stealth. I'll go to her with the debt,
like the death stuff and If, if she starts to look over, I will
like tip the wall on it, a quote-unquote, your Tower, uh,

(02:39:05):
sick 16 in total. Okay?
Yes. That does beat her passive
perception Excellence. So over the course of the next
like three minutes hire you helppick up all these deaths and
chairs and build this sort of wall.
And the most you very stealthy sort of scratch out the chalk
marking and using some chalk on one of the nearby Blackboard can

(02:39:26):
make a mark about 10 feet ahead.I presume yeah about excellent.
All right. You slash it on there real good
and you can't you doesn't look like she noticed.
She stops that sort of looking at you from the other side of
this giant wall. They're all these little like
spots and holes in it from wheretheoretically, you could see
her. And she got okay, one more time
now. Can you go?
Through this please. Sorry.

(02:39:46):
I know I'm burning your spell slots.
I just, you know, I, I want to make really sure.
Yes, yes, no worries. This is, this is quite fun.
Actually, you're a great test product, you know, that all
right. Thank you.
That's very nice. Stop at you.
All right. Now, just go through and land
right here and she went to the park at the team.
Perfect, I'll just cast Misty stuff again.

(02:40:07):
Okay, easy as pie. She's sort of watches.
You go guys. We are the wooden structure in
between its makes you look closer and that side anyway.
And teleport through land solidly on the mark.
She looks down and gives you a smile.
And you see her write a big check mark on her side and guys.
Okay congratulations, you're approved.
Thank you, thank you so much. Of course, your name should be

(02:40:30):
in our little system. I'm gonna go fight a little way
and take all the papers to the right people, but feel free to
attend professor's average. She's less than later today.
If you'd like or, you know, any classes involving plan or travel
good luck to you. And you can also stay here if
you'd like, oh yeah. What's that, what would it be
too much of a hassle to put my preferred name on on those

(02:40:51):
papers? Oh, yeah, sure.
Sorry. I should have asked earlier.
Oh, what's your preferred name Moe's?
Thank you. Thank you.
Alright, sit down. Okay, Moe's.
Okay, most well, I'm gonna Proctor you two friends taking
this test. So if you want to hang out, you
can, but you're free to go. You're, you're done.
I done. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Of course, you have a great

(02:41:13):
team. Okay, bye.
See you in that. Let's go.
I'm right, you see? You see Deimos, leave closing

(02:41:33):
the door, the woman quickly, disassembles all the giant wall
structure she made. And by the end You Can Tell
She's pretty tired and panting. Hey, okay.
All right, back to the two deaths in the center of the
room, okay? So you guys can start whenever
you want. I got a little hourglass up here
for five hours and I'll just saythe frontier.
Okay, so I'll be reading my bookbut if you have any questions,
please let me know. Okay, okay, good luck.

(02:41:56):
And I hope that you both succeed, and she gives you both
a smile and she leans back and achair across from you.
So at this point, it has been a few minutes.
So the Blessed spell has unfortunately drops.
So here's how this is gonna work.
If you guys want to do this fairly as in, you're not
cheating, then I'm going to needfrom both of you guys to arcana

(02:42:17):
checks. Two that's pretty.
Um the two know that's why there's two.
Both Arcana checks are DC 20 exam so that's if you want to do

(02:42:38):
it straight. That is that is no cheating.
That is actually sitting down. Are you proposing like a wait?
Here, listen, you're the student.
It's however, you want to do it.What you do is you flip your
skirt inside out and write the answers on the Hem.

(02:42:59):
The only way that Jack could make this is just by 2, not 20s
because he has a minus one myself.
God help me, please. Oh, it's only a minute, can you?
Yeah, unfortunately that would not really work for this, plus

(02:43:22):
five dark on it. So just need Okay, you would
have to roll the stealth check for me.
So if you want to, if you want to scream, look at a hires

(02:43:42):
answers here you would effectively to stealth checks
for the first half in the secondhalf and, um, depending on her
passive perception, if you can get by both, then you'll have a
better better role. I think if you could help, but I
feel so wise. How would I help you?

(02:44:04):
Okay. What is there to lose if I
cheat? And I pull out the bottles of
alcohol. That's in my bag and see if it's
a little You pull it out, you hear it?
Sort of sniffle, as it comes out.

(02:44:25):
Oh um, oh, hey, there long time.No.
See I've been put in their bottled up for quite some time.
Yeah. I Guess I am just saying this
Foley out loud. That sucks up.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know the rest of the
group, they're weird about it but I really love if you could

(02:44:47):
hang out with my friends, with my friend for a little bit,
maybe tell me what they write down.
You hear from the front now, talking Jam.
Okay. The bottle response to you.
Yes. Of course.
I could do that if you'd like, just Place me over there and

(02:45:08):
I'll call him out there. No friend.
Looks like a Dullard and I'm notsure.
I know what that means. What the player.
Look it up. Hmm.
Nice. Yes.
Um, he might be but some real fighting prowess.
Not one. Um, could I send a Jaya?

(02:45:35):
Yes. Would you like to send it to
Jaya? Oh, simply say asked to go to
the restroom, may I go to the bathroom, please.
Um, yes. But you're only allowed two
bathroom breaks during this whole test.
So if you really have to go already at the beginning, then
you gonna have to hold it for the rest of it.
Do you understand? Yeah, I understand.

(02:45:56):
Thank you for that. Okay, off you go.
When Jaya comes out, um, I guessI'm gonna, I'm gonna pull Jaya
side. Whoa.
Um, Jaya. I was thinking perhaps I could

(02:46:21):
try to take the test in your place.
Oh, how? Um, at this point, I will cast
alter self to look like Jaya. Whoa, how long does that last?
It only lasts an hour, but I don't know.
DMD. Think I could do you think I
could with within like I guess like two hours?

(02:46:41):
Do you think I would like be able to, like, finish the test?
I would allow you to attempt this, but you would roll these
Arcana checks at disadvantage because you have to be moving.
Fuck. You would literally be going
twice as fast but I would allow you to do that.
He was just harder. I don't know if you can pass

(02:47:03):
with 50% partners. I think higher means run.
Yeah, roll one. Arcana check.
Oh, roll one of them. Yes, you could do one of the
two. I would allow that.
Okay, cool. That sounds that sounds perfect.
Okay, so, okay. Altars to look like Jaya.
Okay, you know. Look like giant copy of yourself
again. Oh, it's it seems your form came

(02:47:28):
with all the arthritis, as well.Disappointing. sorry, about
That. All right.
Um, I don't know. I don't want to say like make
yourself scarce but I don't know.
You could go wait just after an hour of just say that you need
another bathroom break. Yes.

(02:47:49):
Good idea. Good idea.
Yeah. Me chin, the bathroom, I guess.
Yeah, let's do it. All right I will head back in or
all right you had back in the woman.
Looks I'm good. Oh that was pretty fast.
Um go ahead and take a seat. Oh I that thank you.

(02:48:12):
Look up and see. I walk back in here.
Your drink now. City on Giants.
Go. Hey man, so he's wrong.
That is not him. Uncle's per second you
immediately you sit down Jaya fake Jaya and look at the test
in front of you and there's a strange like sort of vile flasks

(02:48:35):
of alcohol in front of you Pirates, speak to you again man,
your friend got fucking body snatch, something's wrong.
I like look at it um and give itlike a thumbs up.
Which what you're okay with this?
Your Fringe probably fucking didnot.

(02:48:55):
Um I try to like look towards the the test proctor and then
back at the alcohol bottle trying to express that I cannot
currently speak. Oh man.
Okay. But I think your friend might be
dead. I don't know.
This is and you guys begin. So at this point, I would like

(02:49:18):
both of you guys to make your art.
First our contact. I do.
So one way because this Oh, is the second part of the test?
Like, like a long answer, like essay question.
Subtle spell to do, sending to read hands, to get a general

(02:49:50):
idea of how to answer some of the essay questions.
And I could do this twice Okay, so you can get red hands that
basically answered two of those questions.
All right. So um yeah, the second half does
have some more free response questions.
The first half is mostly multiple choice.

(02:50:12):
So I would say for the second part using subtle spell, you
don't need to use a stealth role.
So when we get to that, I'll letyou know what happens then.
But for the first half, at least, could you give me your
Arcana check now? Um, higher.
Are you using this bottle of alcohol to basically cheat off
of? So the most ideally right in the

(02:50:33):
players had I am using Deimos aswhat is the best potentially the
best answer. But then if I really think they
most is wrong, then I am choosing a different answer that
I think is better. So it's almost like I'm using it
as, as if like they most is giving me advice on which answer

(02:50:54):
is correct, is what I was tryingto do.
Okay. I, I like this.
So I think because of this creative way, you've got this
bottle of alcohol, to cheat for calling out answers.
Um, I would say you don't need arole, any stealth check for
this, instead? What you'll have on this first
role is, you'll have Advantage as if you know.

(02:51:14):
So, can you guys both? Give me your first rolls.
Please. I did not mean to roll the
manage. Let's see.
Let me go ahead and read it again.
I gotta hire what happened. What happened, buddy?
It's all the parts of the attempt were there, though.
It is, unfortunately, a very challenging exam.

(02:51:36):
As you guys both finished after the first part, hire you look
down and you're like, this couldbe it.
This could not be. I don't know, man.
Not feeling great. And the most you look down and
you're like shit. This is way harder than you
thought. They asked a lot of very
specific questions about magic. You're very very refined in
Magic but you just think if maybe you would study the night
before on something like this you would have been fine.

(02:51:58):
But you know you you feel prettygood on the list at how well you
did with nobody really well. I don't I don't oh because yeah.
Did we didn't we like just fail the test or do we have like or
is it like an old is like an average score?
Yeah sort of like an average butat this point you would have to

(02:52:22):
be something excellent on the second half.
Oh Yes. Could roll in that 20 and that
would get him to 25. Unfortunately, damos will not be
taking the second part of Justice likely to roll on that
20. So um, the most you
unfortunately feel the need to pee AKA you feel that your spell

(02:52:45):
is waiting and that you might shift back any moment.
I gotta piss. I guess.
Of course, this is your last time though if you need a p.
After this, I'll have to avoid your test and you'll be done
with it. Okay, but before I leave, you
know, I'm really like sympathiesfor an old man.
What do you? I'm just, I'm just saying, you

(02:53:08):
know, as you get older than a tojust if he is lack, you know,
the the bladder gets weak and weaker, you know what I mean?
Not sure what just say. Oh, you know, I just, I just, I
might require more regular man, the young one.

(02:53:29):
I think I'm young. Yes, I don't know.
I could be young and yes, I understand sir, but, um, it's
just corporate policy here, unfortunately.
I, I can't really allow you anymore than that.
Um, if you really do have a complaint, I can maybe run it up
to the higher-ups. But for this test, at least I

(02:53:50):
have to void it. We can try it again tomorrow.
Yeah. But thanks.
Thanks. Anyways, I don't know.
All right, you head out, and I'mfine.
So, I guess what is Jaya been doing during this time?
What do you want to do? I think Jaya was really just in
the bathroom taking a nap. Yeah.

(02:54:13):
I mean, yeah, man. He's an old man.
What, what do you expect? Nothing, nothing else.
Don't you worry? Well, okay, no, look around.
All right, you sort of wander about, you can poke your head in
a few classes. You see there's a geology class
happening right now, study of rocks nearby.
There's a knitting class, that seems to be an upper division

(02:54:33):
class. They're talking about each of,
the students are doing a thesis on a certain Niche that they're
working on. Just can't imagine doing these
little specific net. So hateful.
And you sort of walk around and you see all of this, is there

(02:54:57):
anything you're looking for specifically?
Are you just sort of enjoying the, the space?
Um, I was gonna go look for the average classroom like, was it
did she point to where was gonnabe like?
She did not tell you where it was gonna be, and no one asked.
Well, I'll just look around and see if I can find him or
anything that like mentions everon like called, like, the like

(02:55:19):
posters that they post around school.
They're like, any of the news, okay?
You wander around a bit, it takes, maybe about half an hour
to find. There is one flyer up for want
to be a student of the player come join Zach.
The boundless is class on planarmagic.
That's got all these Sparkles and Faye twinkles on the side of

(02:55:41):
the writing and in small text onthe bottom, it says, sign up
now, sign up today, classes heldTuesdays and Thursdays.
Except every Thursday of every other month, Tuesdays and
Thursdays, except Thursday. You just yelled this into the
room. Asking me soon.
It's like it's a Tuesday. Okay, so then the next

(02:56:04):
opportunity we'd have well I don't kill him, possibly
Thursday, there's a slight chance.
It's not possibly Thursday. I don't want to fucking
assassinate him in front of his students after class or
something. The goal is not to kill him
immediately. The goal is to figure out where
he's gonna be when they most oneshot of them, that'd be great.

(02:56:31):
Okay, just I guess there's gonnabe our chance and yeah it is a
one in. Can I take the posture with me?
Okay. You grab and pull it off and
sort of walk off with it. The most helpful information.

(02:56:52):
We've learned so far. Yeah, we could have just done
this. Yeah, probably.
All right, so, um, Jaya eventually the most finds you in
the hallways. Ah, so how's you do?

(02:57:14):
Didn't uh, I you know, I feel like I did great.
Um, but I know you have to do better.
Oh, you got this. Oh okay, great.
Um, maybe now's the time I should mention that I have never
learned a single thing about magic in my life.
You know, it's just go with yourgut.

(02:57:37):
I bet it's all very intuitive, you know, I think.
Yeah. Maybe if you have any Gods
prayed to them, see did she how was your time out here?
Did you find anything? Poster.
I'll go ahead and go back so doesn't look like I'm taking too
long on the bear from but She shows some information about his

(02:58:02):
schedule and I think we could potentially get catch him after
school his office. If you know what I mean.
Oh, this is very helpful. Wow, child.
I guess you're kind of the the most productive one here. oh,

(02:58:23):
you know, I just I'm I feel likewe've gotten off on the wrong
foot a little bit, just tiny bit, you know?
And I just you seem, I mean, andI've said before it just seemed
a little suspicious to me sometimes. and you know that I

(02:58:44):
don't know if that's warned it, but, you know, We can we can get
over it, we can get over it together friend and I place a
hand on him good. Um, I tried to argue for more

(02:59:07):
bathroom breaks. It seemed like she might be a
little aged phobic, so good luckwith that. if that's the way you
want to use, Good. Good.
I'm glad it hasn't progressed that far, Jaya.

(02:59:34):
I'm gonna pretend, I didn't hearthat one, and good luck.
All right, so Jaya you go in leaving, higher and Jaya and so
same as last time. Jaya, just give me a straight
roll, Arcana, please and higher you have a advantage on this
role. Thanks to some alcohol.

(02:59:54):
Can you sweet nothing? Um, anything else or just Yes,
so you you want to burn two supposed to?
Do it. Guys answers are bad.

(03:00:26):
Listen, it's it is it is D&D rules that if somebody helps you
with something, even if their dog should at it, you get
Advantage. Right.
That's true. So, I find that.
That's a fair thing to do to go higher here.
Now, I agree. What does, what does I know
about this? I would say nothing but somehow

(03:00:47):
even if you know, fucking nothing about something, you can
still help someone do it. Here is helping It's like, yeah,
I I saw this once I also am probably gonna use the, my ring
of calm emotions for the second part just for flavor Mason
Mason. I want you to I just got a 23.

(03:01:09):
Yes, technically speaking 17 plus 23 would equal 40.
Now Just point that out. Well, 40 because you said 40
here 17, he's on both parts. Is what I'm saying?
Okay okay hold on, hold on. So giant I got a six on this

(03:01:30):
rolling. Yeah yep.
And higher you got a 23 Now higher that does average to a DC
20, so the tests are finished, you submit it higher, feeling
confident that you know the answers pretty well that giant
somehow helped you with getting a sick.
So you probably and you submit it, the woman at the front gives

(03:01:55):
you guys about the smile and guys.
Okay. I'm just gonna have to test
grader, look over this real quick call.
Don, please come back to my office.
She leads you guys out of the room back to the main office
room and stopping there. She enters a back room where you
hear, sort of a squawk or something?
Oh, Quiet for a moment right now, it's a fail.

(03:02:15):
But She walks back out the door and after about five minutes,
you know, five seconds of talking with whatever it was
back, there she goes. Okay, we got the answers from
the, the test, the score of back.
There looks like higher Vallejo.Congratulations, you can.
Now into Plano magic, uh, Jaya Ian would unfortunately you had

(03:02:37):
a strong start, but it looks like in the second half,
something might happen, I'm sorry about those bathroom
breaks again. Maybe we can get in contact with
someone maybe you needed to pee that whole time but I can't
allow you in tree into the plane.
Imagine. Oh, Good.
I just means. I need a cape study in and out.
I will make my mom, a proud of course.
You'll see me in a little more. I'm real proud of you.

(03:03:02):
All right, so um, feel free to attend traffic, just lecture if
you like I think there's one this afternoon, Mr. Vallejo, I
believe your friend damos sorry Moe's.
Sorry. Oh yeah, so I'll join him.
Thank you so much for all of this.
May I have your name before I parked Oh yeah.

(03:03:22):
My name is Ross, Jaya. I'm sorry.
So fucking sorry. I'm so sorry.
And then I go to class I guess. Okay, you passed through five
hours. Have passed is a decently long
time back at the Inn. Or a face, you just got word

(03:03:43):
from Doom that you need to go upstairs and do them.
You're headed up to. Yeah, the two of you arrive at
samir's room. The door is slightly cracked and
you hear a whirring sound inside.
I'll knock on the edge of the door.
You In hello. Samir.
Oh hello you guys. Um, come on in order to face is

(03:04:05):
that you? Yes.
Hi I'm surprised. Do you know knocked?
Oh I see that's all right. Okay.
Would you like to make those magic things we were talking
about? I know that at least in terms of
the fighter repellent goop. We could make that today and if
you'd like we can work on another magic items as well.
That's the only one I had his mind but I just wanted some feet

(03:04:30):
of spiders. Slippers of spider climbing,
slippery spider climbing. Is that right?
Yes, I don't show how hard I should be.
Are if we have the funds for right now, because I know I
already owe you It's a bit of gold and I know Jay is broke
Focus. Broken thing broke as a broken

(03:04:53):
broke thing? Yeah, I don't know.
Well, I'd be happy to make it with you or Affairs.
I think it could be a fun challenge of ours to try out,
you know, see if we can craft it.
He, he upset about thing. No, no, I'm not upset.
I'm just uncomfortable, but I'm not that And it doesn't.

(03:05:14):
Hey let's craft the fire stuff first.
Is there anything else we can think of that should really
benefit us against Fabrics? Samir sort of holds his hand up.
And he goes, um, well, he's a wizard of the planes, but
unfortunately, he's really only as powerful as at large meter.
He has besides that, he mostly relies on gimmicks and a few

(03:05:34):
magic items. He has.
I don't exactly know what most of them do.
But I know he can teleport and he, well, I think he can use
that pretty well. So, um, Mobility would be good
ways to get to him quickly. If he teleports say, 100 feet
away and then blasts us with something from far away, it
would be doomed for us. I was hoping that we could
perhaps trap him and a small room to avoid this problem.

(03:05:55):
But if say, perhaps, we met him on an open field, it would be
good to have some way to get to him quickly.
Any sort of charm that prevents teleportation or can plainly
bind someone? Yes, there is actually, but it
might be a bit expensive to make.
How much does it cost? Let me see here.
He sort of looks over to his supplies and sort of counts some

(03:06:15):
stuff out in his head. Well um there is planar binding
items and there are definitely not cheap.
I think there is a pretty likelychance that a sort of walks over
his Blueprints and sort of goes through them.
Let's see if it is about. Yes, I'd say to craft an item
that bind someone playing reallyto be at minimum a thousand gold

(03:06:35):
pieces. Okay.
That is a lot. Yes we are not very well off
financially right now. Our face, I don't know if we can
make anything new for this epic.Instead, we should just plan out
a location carefully. We have the upper hand, he
doesn't know that we're coming. That's true.
I think the others are scoping out where he is from time to
time. I guess what really matters is,

(03:06:56):
are you mad at me mad at you or face?
Yeah, I wouldn't say particularly know.
Particularly? Okay.
That's confusing answer. I'm not upset with your face.
Um, there's something that you're upset with me about.
No, I'm not obsessed with you. So, what is the problem?

(03:07:16):
I guess not. I just So you were mad at me,
but if you're not, then there isno problem, I'm not mad that you
are Affairs, good, that's hear it.
I tried my best friend in neutral smile, right?
I I know we had a tough conversation last night or a
face, but that's not something that would be upset to you
about. In fact, it would be a waste of

(03:07:37):
both of our time to dwell on it.You're agree.
Well on things too much. Oh, you think you also dwell on
things, maybe less than you should sometimes but I don't
know. I'm human I can't just forget
things, you know. Of course your human.
You don't have to forget things but do you want to play a back

(03:08:01):
and forth game for a week of youbeing upset or me being upset?
No. Talked about feelings and it
happened. And now, we're better for come
now. Can't we get back to things,
like, how they were before? Fun, and enjoyable challenging.
He points to the big room aroundhim.
Exciting like challenging, fun, enjoyable, and exciting things.
Okay, yeah, sorry. Let's get to work.

(03:08:23):
So we need to room to get to Starbucks in.
We have no way to bind him in there, but maybe something to
speed us up. So should we try to maybe make
something? Who do we think?
Is the best Grappler of the group?
What should be malicious? Maybe.
I suppose so though, maybe able could be though, I don't know
that will. Oh, maybe able.
Yeah. Do you think that if something

(03:08:44):
we could make for because that works, can't tell apart of able
to hold on to him right? Or he would bring Abel with him.
I don't know how it works. Exactly.
Um perhaps I could help you think about it Roland iconic.
Not my best role 24. Oh okay.
It was pretty good. You think about it really hard

(03:09:09):
or a face? Do you think the way teleport
normally works? Is that you can normally only
teleport Wheeling creatures places.
Now there are roles that you cantechnically teleport someone
against their will but they makea saving throw against it.
Okay? And I have no idea about

(03:09:30):
teleporting when someone's grappling you um, So it is just
a verbal spell so you could get out of a grapple.
Okay. You can tell a port free from
someone's hands. I see.
Yeah, I guess we just need to find a way to speed us all up.
Then here, do you Know spell Scrolls.
Yes but this is also quite finest actually, well,

(03:09:51):
expensive. Do you have any ideas?
I do like samir's idea of shopping in my room.
I agree with that. I was just thinking about in
case he slips out. What if we?
build a sort of lock that we could put Any door to keep it
shut, is that something we coulddo?
I think Timo said he had an Arcane looks spell.

(03:10:12):
He could use that. Mmm, do you know how long?
I don't know, we could ask him when they get back though.
Okay, okay, I guess for now, let's just focus on that
fireproof cream. Yes, I think that could work
quite nicely. Spent today working on it.
What do you think of her face? Let's and with that you guys

(03:10:32):
spend the afternoon working on this.
So you've already have all the materials paid for orifice and I
won't make you roll for it. You just spend the afternoon
doing this while you're doing it.
I suppose. Doom what would you like to be
doing this time? Um after like you know the first
five minutes then I see the Oreoand Samir are at least gonna
getting along. I would go back to Able.

(03:10:53):
All right, you head back to Abelin the room beneath your own
Abel has a tea, um, efficient looking system already set up.
Using. What looks like glasses set on
the floor returning? You see?
He's got looks like 18 glasses that he must have lifted from
the taper and Below all set up with different amounts of water.

(03:11:15):
And one holding out to metal forks, he smacks each one and a
note rings out, any sort of humsalong with it.
He sees you walk in and stands up from his seated position,
goes excellent, to do one, what do you think?
Would you like to have at this? You'll be much better than
these. Damn, tuning roles that I'm
working with sure. At first, I thought you were
very thirsty. Oh, not at all my friend.
And when sit on trying to createnotes, you see, I don't actually

(03:11:38):
have an instrument yet. In fact, I have no money to my
name and well, I don't even havea weapon.
I would very much like, to get my hands on a sword that one of
these days and perhaps, a lute, or a liar or something of that.
Fine variety. And in the meantime, this is all
I have to work with, but according to your perfect pitch
that we learned from the other day.
Perhaps you could be a much better instrument than these
damn glasses. So and he gives you a sharp

(03:11:59):
Smile as he rubs his hands together.
Let's make some music, shall we?Yes.
Let's all right. And doom.
You and able with the help of Abel basically work out, the
song that you were trying to figure out the other day.
Now, you have much longer time than before to do, is you get
sort of talk as you go discussing the themes of the
song and the different notes in comparison.

(03:12:20):
You yourself having spent a bit of time making music yourself,
you sort of pick up on a few of these things and you notice Abel
teaches you, a few of the like common vernacular words where he
can stuff. That you probably picked up in
your time and memory banks of mechanists, but it's nice to
have a reminder to them as well.Do if you speak for some time
and eventually able ends up justhelping you, I would like from

(03:12:43):
you, a performance. Check with this role you may
have Advantage as Abel assists. You and this is over the course
of about five or so hours that you work with him on this.
What you're effectively trying to write is a bit of a symphony,
a long piece, 20 minutes long, perhaps more with themes and
sweeping bits. All from what little memory you

(03:13:04):
had of the most explaining it and the fractured bent up
measures that you heard from thepiccolo player who was singing
them to himself. So, I got 18, bus tour, 22.
All right, that is a good role. So um, the two of you sit down
and it's actually quite enjoyable.
Do you have a sort of Music partner for the afternoon?

(03:13:25):
Hi everyone. So well, it will be like, yes,
that's arpeggio sense. Nice.
Perhaps it should maybe have oneover here as well as you guys
sort of map. It out, you know, to see
eventually, starts writing up the music on these long bars
that he seems to have produced using a pen and ink.
Well, and some parchment. He shows you, what each measure
looks like and you pick it up pretty quick.
The language of Music. Something you sort of already

(03:13:46):
knew you guys work on it together.
And after about five hours, you have a piece.
The two of you look at each other and Abel gives you a sharp
Smile as he goes. Yes, this seems quite nice.
In fact, it has quite a Melody. Would you play it for me?
One time, of course. I'm gonna open your mouth and
play up this Sonic. It's a sloped piece Forge.

(03:14:07):
Full similar to how the most described it and played pretty
much only buy one instrument thepiccolo, it has some
accompaniment Parts in the background that Abel sort of a
long too, but for the most part,it's sort of a solo that you
sing to them and it sounds quitenice.
A bit sad and everyone wants a while you see able to wipe away
his eyes? Yes, that's quite beautiful

(03:14:27):
music. Some moving, isn't it Doom?
You are such a wonderful machine, a creature of Music.
Gosh, I wish I could have been born into a body as beautiful as
your Here. Do you think one day if we got
instruments, you could teach me how?
Yes, of course, my friend in fact, it seems you're already
picked up quite a bit. Look at how well you've done and
he shows off, you guys have madequite a bit of parchment usages

(03:14:51):
during this time, you've filled up Pages upon pages with these
bars of Music. He gestures to them now and
goes, look at all this work. You've done, you should hold on
to this and be proud of it. You've done quite an exceptional
job. In fact, I thought like, I was
just helping you, thank you. But yes, of course, I'd love to
teach you a thing or two. In fact, the first thing I'd
like to do with some money. Once we killed that bloke or

(03:15:11):
whatever. Is purchase an instrument, I'll
get a second one for you, my friend, and he gives you smile,
thank you. I would appreciate that.
Yes, of course. It is also about this time or a
face that you finish making thisfire proof gel.
Yes. Samir helps you with it.
And as usual, one working with Samir, he's quite quiet.
During the entirety of it. Everyone sort of puts you on

(03:15:34):
edge that, perhaps, he's upset you for something, but then
he'll say something very innocuous.
Like, oh, would you mind passingme?
The petroleum over. I would like to put some in
here. Thank you.
Oh, first. Always a blood, just like a
little too fast. Like yes.
Yes. Here's the Boiling that last can
I would need an hour? They're good at this.
Not nearly as good as you are out of face.

(03:15:55):
I just have had some practice you.
Have had access. Other.
If he was he was oh wow. Well it's just you know Barbacoa
was a master of his craft the best in all of the city of brass
I would say oh wow. But perhaps that is just what I

(03:16:19):
was taught. Oh, I mean you're the best in
all circuit, right? And so if you trained under him
that he's probably pretty good too.
Oh that is too kind of fish you don't have to say such nice
things. Haha I mean it's literally the
truth everyone went to your store just told us like first
thing. She was like me or the genius
kid. You should go visit him to be

(03:16:40):
fair. I was also the only store for
such things so if you were doinga good job, someone else would
open one, huh? I suppose.
So um, I'm glad you think so? What a face, I feel good about
that. Thank you.
He gives you a neutral smile. You know, it is always something
I wanted to learn more about, I suppose.
A small part of me always thought that this would be my

(03:17:00):
crate, my craft, my trade forever and I still do, but I am
enjoying adventuring, guys. I am feeling you can Adventure
wall being an artificer. It sort of what I'm trying to
do. I suppose so I like that idea of
this smear. Mother's name is bought a buck
out of this right? That's right.

(03:17:20):
I think I know someone else. Who knows him?
Hello. Is that?
So Xavier is cat saffron. We've told you about her, right?
She's the taxi in the fair Wild.Cat.
Um, yes I think you have. Yeah.

(03:17:42):
Yeah. Oh um.
I did not know that they would have the same.
What do you mean? They were to the same but I
guess my father did have a cat familiar.
Um, They were closed. I thought so, I'm thinking when
we killed her Fabrics, maybe saffron can help you find a way

(03:18:02):
back to your dad. I would like that.
Yes, that's what actually be. And then he sort of stops and
goes. Oh, I see, I guess that would
mean I would be home. Well, um I did but I know how
when we are arrived to the water, the Vinny and and father

(03:18:22):
Lucius, they would not spoken within the more You wouldn't
have to stay there if Vinny wanted to keep traveling with
us. He could probably not father
Lucius, but The situation, obviously, I would like to well
I would like to continue traveling with you all.
I want to visit my home. Yes.
I thought that would happen far in the future though.

(03:18:45):
I didn't know how to be something, so close to us.
Now I mean to do with all through pumpkins, the cat that
is unbelievable. It's funny that, you know, heard
his pumpkin and also yes, that is what father called her.
Oh, savix had a different name for her, didn't he?
I don't remember. I didn't know familiar with her
like that. Well, um, I would love it.
If you all came to visit the city of brass, it is a wonderful

(03:19:06):
place and I actually bet a lot of good could be done there.
Um, I know that you all have your goals yourself but the city
of brass is a great, beautiful city and I know what to do that.
It's it's splendors as well, butif we ever went there, I would
love to help in any way I can and I'm sure my father would
this well and I don't know. You are on good terms.
Yes, I think so good. Ah, yeah.

(03:19:28):
I want to go. You make it sound really
amazing. I mean, the fact that there's a
genie who grants people's wishesis pretty cool.
I mean, it's literally the city where wishes come true that is
what people call it. Wow.
So I imagine that. Maybe you guys could all get
something out of that. I don't know if to truly be a
wish from the great gin but could be worth just, he should
probably be pretty amazing. I bet the architecture is insane

(03:19:52):
there. All wish wish made and the heat
probably unique. Yeah, he gives a neutral smile,
but you can tell it edges on excitement as he goes.
It is so splendorous. I can't wait to show you.
Cool. Actually I've been working on
this side project. You just around the very busy

(03:20:13):
room of making another homunculus.
It is a several day project though and I am I don't I don't
actually need much help with it.I know this on selfish but I
actually like doing it myself. It makes them feel a bit more
personal. You don't want you to look at it
because last few times you've been building something and I
took a look at it, I was able tohelp you make it even better and

(03:20:34):
it's still be yours. I won't touch it.
I'll just tell you what you can do different, he Squints his
eyes and then smiles and goes what I thought a face.
That's so good. All right, you can now again
this is a several day project sothat you guys are actually done
they on this. But next time I'll have you

(03:20:56):
helped. Okay.
So um with that, the schooling is done.
Those of you who finished your testing on the other side of the
city have finished doom and ableyou to have made a song and do
them. You're quite proud of it.
This is yet another one of thosemoments that you feel an
emotion, bubble up inside of youthat you're not used to not one

(03:21:16):
of negativity or fear or hate oranything like that.
But pride pride, pride and work that you've done almost a bit of
like pompousness in it. You like it.
I don't want to show it off to other people and you want to see
people's reaction to it because you're excited about it.
You're having a musician. And it's in your head
permanently, so you'll never forget it either, and it sort of

(03:21:38):
the thing that gets you excited for the future.
This one you did sort of based off of someone else's work, but
next one, maybe you'll make yourself and it might even be
even better and with that acrossthe Paw and then demos and
higher. You guys have a few if you would
like guys. Yeah.

(03:21:58):
Oh, I feel like he sees me. He's not gonna be happy or maybe
we do want him to know, I don't know.
We could always act like we do genuinely.
Want to learn from them. Oh, we can also act like we
don't know, he would be the teacher know.

(03:22:18):
You think you think's, average? Thanks for that stupid.
Maybe, maybe. Um, God is so.
Where did where did I go to Giant?
Just soak off. Yeah, giant, where do you put
ghee in the back of holding? Oops.

(03:22:40):
Um I think I would stand outsidethe classroom.
Kind of like I'm waiting for my children to get released from
school. All right, then I like it.
Oh I don't know. I feel like I mean if you wanted
like I could go in by myself, you know.

(03:23:02):
And just like alter alter my my form you know if we really
didn't want him to know. I mean to be honest I was kind
of looking forward to being classmates in a way I look My
worry is that works will find a way to get us expelled from the
class if he thinks Fallon intentof us perhaps there is some way

(03:23:24):
we can ensure that you know we get to be in the class and
aren't instantly expelled or convinced that we don't hate
him. That's our two options as I see
it. If we don't disguise ourselves.
Or we can always act like, you know, like I hate use average

(03:23:46):
but I really need this whole plane or travel thing.
Please give me an a sort of vibe.
Oh, I I'm not sure. I feel like I we could always
just not go to class and just like wait for him, I guess, you

(03:24:06):
know, follow him around. I feel the best way to follow
him around. Is to have him within our sights
in the first place. Oh God.
I don't mind. I don't attack us personally in
this class and sure we're givingaway our location.

(03:24:30):
But I believe he knew us to be in Water Deep regardless and he
comes here. Anyway.
Maybe it's best. You know, he's so unpredictable.
Maybe we just go in with a plan,see what happens.
Yeah, I plan is know. I maybe like six plans now and

(03:24:53):
then maybe we just decide which one in the moment. ah, um, how
about How about we go in? Um, I don't even know like what
we go in. Maybe maybe false pretenses
right? Like, oh, like, we were looking

(03:25:14):
for you but it's because like weneed your help or something.
Like, I don't know. We have You know, something to
him that only he would have access to like, we need hell.
Let's let's let Let's say we need his mirror, you know, and
pretend like we don't know, he doesn't have it.
I think that I think that's the best plan so far.

(03:25:35):
Okay. Okay cool.
Um let's say one of orpheus's upfriends is stuck in the plane.
I don't even feel, we need to lie because he could see through
us. Maybe we try to stick to the
truth in as most most began. Makes me feel better.
Well. Sure.

(03:26:01):
I mean, but what do we say when he says, why do you know you're
right? Okay, oral face is friend is
trapped. Which one?
Oral face or face. Um, we could just make one up.
Um you know he has so many there.

(03:26:23):
Everywhere, they're just dropping out of the sky and a
bigger bastard than the last. Um, what what if what if we'd
say, did you use it to instantlygo to our planes, which I Oh
yeah. Like we left the party behind.
You know, we split the party andnow we just want to go back.

(03:26:47):
Yes, but I believe we can compromise on this.
Oh, like it. I like it.
Let's do it. Um, gosh that's myself before he
says, can I have have a word? You don't answer or you say no.
Is what I've learned, no. No Professor.
Hey let's go. Yeah.

(03:27:08):
So scared to see him again. I apparently he's weak now so
but don't think of him as weak or maybe he'll be scared and
honestly I just thinking of thatsmile.
Oh yeah. Hi, are you got this?

(03:27:30):
He was stronger than he hears poison, my head.
Reassured me! Are you with us right now?
Outside the yeah, yeah, you guysare, you guys are really well
together. Okay, so, the plan then, is you
guys are just gonna go in like, as a normal class and then if

(03:27:54):
he, if he talks to us and then if he doesn't wait, either,
we're gonna go talk to him. And then we're gonna tell him or
plight. I'm gonna talk to him and okay,
so Jaya you exit the academic Ward that you want to head back
to the end? Yeah.

(03:28:14):
All right, you do so leaving. Then only higher and demos
alone. Just the two of them to face
that bricks the boundless. You both make your way across.
I didn't mention it earlier, buton both of your admissions into

(03:28:35):
this class were both, given a small pamphlet with General
scheduling and rules the woman, the receptionist sort of
explained. Yeah, I'm so the class is
actually in session right now, so you guys have probably missed
like eight or nine classes but just feel free to attend as many
as you want for dress. Just current quarter and then
you can start next quarter afresh.
So, you know, just please feel free to take it at your own

(03:28:57):
time. And you guys were giving a
pamphlet at the location to go to as well as some class work
and exams scheduling and all this and academic might need
making your way across the academic War.
Then you all head. The two of you I suppose alone
head to one specific lecture hall on the walk.
Before you make your way into the room would you like to do

(03:29:17):
anything? Oh God we have anything on us.
That would be like bad Duluth. I mean the back I think we're
fine but We can put all item andall items in there.
You feel like I should be armor?Oh this You know?

(03:29:37):
Yeah, actually might be a good idea, you know.
So he knows or not here, you help.
So it takes maybe half a Time. I can help.
Okay um that's all I want to do.Oh yeah, you know what?
I'm going to cast. Find familiar.

(03:30:02):
Wow. Big one.
All right. What would you like to summon
demo? Um, so for this one, I feel like
I need flights. I'll just go with the the
classic owl. You're spawning an animal?
Okay, so I'm in an owl. What is that?
This is a big one. The most.

(03:30:23):
What is the name of your familiar?
You're probably gonna need a name.
Fuck. I'm going to say Murdock.
Thank you. All right, all right.
And I'll have it waits outside of the class Murdoch.

(03:30:47):
Who's at you? Politely outside.
Nice. All right.
So um, you guys would be a rightthing just because you have to
speak. In some time, talking with giant
about the plan, about looks, letme look at my chart here, 18
minutes late to this class, so it's currently in session.
You imagine Behind these clothesdouble doors into a lecture

(03:31:08):
hall. So do you guys want to just walk
right in? Acrylic.
Okay, don't check. No, it's okay.
It's okay. We can walk right in.
I just don't want to interrupt the class, I guess he will be.
I bust the door down, right? Kick the door down.
Is that the D&D know I kick? I kick, I kick the door open.

(03:31:30):
All right. Before we have you guys entered
the room back at the home front at the end.
What would you guys like to do for the rest of the day?
I suppose, the are gonna be in this class for about an hour or
two depending on how long it is.And you guys still get a bit of
time in the afternoon to do whatever you'd like you guys
have any more plans for the day or you simply waiting on seeing
what up and I would arrive back around this time to find or a

(03:31:52):
face and do them. We have infiltrated you I
actually it's not an offer. I run up and just bump you like
jumping in the air. Like the old days.

(03:32:14):
Phuc. Yea, I did not pass the test.
They did they are now students watch test.
Test. We try to enroll in the school
so that we could go to his lecture.
They would tell you where his lectures were or his office
without enrolling in the class. What about certainly you guys,

(03:32:36):
right? They didn't really you asked.
Where his office was, remember, we didn't have to enroll in
doctor him's class to learn whathe's still.
Okay, but you don't know. So, Wait, why are you?

(03:33:10):
Going to do today. So, Okay, I think they'll do
just fine. We might hearing, they mostly I
should not go in. I don't think you're here.

(03:33:31):
I don't, I can't tell if maisie's talking to me or You
fly high blue Kabul? Yeah, so here I like it.

(03:34:01):
I like that. There was a moment there where
you went through all the heroinepart of the test and you were
still gonna send in Des Moines alone.

(03:34:22):
I like to think giant chicken and I was like that.
I was smart with this first part.

(03:34:44):
Of looks weird. He's not a pussy.
So anyway, Giants. Anyway, you can think of that we
can prepare for this fight against Xavier's smear and I
made this fire good that I smeared all over my bag so it's
not a hazard anymore. Well, I mean, is he really that
strong anymore? Don't know.

(03:35:05):
I always assumed. He could kill us really easily
but it sounds like everyone elsedoesn't think he's so scared.
I'm scared of magic users in general.
I mean, it's better to be over prepared than other prepared.
I couldn't agree more. I like your goo, that's pretty
good. Thank you.

(03:35:27):
And Vaseline. Could you use this with your
little greasy spell? You know the one that you hit me
with. Sorry, sort of like per second.
It looks like I'm gonna hug you and then I just squeeze your

(03:35:48):
upper arm. Here.
Yeah, we're so skills a bit. I'm great at talking to people.
I talked to you guys all the time, and I talked to Samir and
you all really seem to enjoy talking to me, even Jack.
And I like talking to me after awhile.
No, you're good to talk to sometimes?

(03:36:09):
Well no. You're good to talk to period?
Yes. Okay so I'd be going for second
with the sometimes your mannerisms are just so funky,
you know? Like which ones are the
problems. Specifically.
I think it's just cuz you know, you haven't been in a human body
for so long. Yeah.
Like sometimes and you move yourarms in a certain way and it

(03:36:32):
makes me think that you have some anxiety.
I don't feel anxiety of the bravest soldier to see their
ever had asked Abel. Damn right.
You are Disabled in the room. Yes, Abel is here like very
excitedly standing behind Doula and sort of shoving toward you
like. All right.

(03:36:52):
Go ahead and show him. I know you want to talk to him.
Listen. Oh, you made start.
Oh pick you up? Spin you around like fast enough
that your legs start to kick outand throw you into Jaya.

(03:37:14):
Like and it was That was spectacular auditorily.
Spectacular odac was amazing. Thank you.
I can have done it without able good work.
Abel nonsense of course it was all doom.
Look at this professional robot.This Auto no one was able to

(03:37:35):
craft an entire Symphony. Practically by himself.
I was able to help where I couldof course but my goodness, what
a potent confidence machine. You are such an excellent song
too, he's a very good musician. It's it's a very good musician,
Doom. I think there's something you
and I have quite a bit of getting along over.
In fact let's have to chat more about this.

(03:37:55):
We were just saying that the first thing we're going to get.
Once we acquire some fonts afterkilling that Africa, lowers
buying an instrument for me and do them.
I mean, it's all right. You don't like it.
I know you want to have a fan ofmusic or a fierce, but do them
here is so I imagine you'd be supportive of your dearest
friend. Of course I'm proud that to
Dooms pursuing his passion. And I'm happy for you to play

(03:38:18):
music as well. I believe you're really good at
it. He gives like a cheesy smile and
goes, well, of course, I'm good at it.
I'm the best at it. Now, I do think we could perhaps
talk to Demons about this song of us and see if it's just
right? Because the most having had a
memory of it could tell us it. Perhaps there was even a little
bit wrong but honestly it's already sounds excellent.
The way it is and a great song, you could probably make money
off of that dulum, if you reallychose Like to be a bit careful

(03:38:41):
performance since it did seem tocast a spell on Piccolo.
Well, we've played it a few dozen times already this
afternoon. Nothing's happened yet.
Okay, this song is very good, dulum on some job but I think
that's is one of the more creative things I've ever seen
in. Authement, do you are really
doing an amazing job? Thanks, Samir course.
And um just from what you are saying, Sergeant should we all

(03:39:02):
go over to the academic world and perhaps be play defense for
hire in the most? I'm worried they're a bit over
their heads on this if zappix notices them in the classroom
and decides to get violent. Would they be able to defend
themselves? Oh, that's kind of where I came
over to get you. Attention.

(03:39:26):
Yeah. Ready.
All right, the lecture hall Higher.
The most, you push open the old wooden doors.
It's cold inside much colder than the outside hallway,
pushing up with the doors. They squeak As they open
announcing your presence, absolutely forbidding.

(03:39:47):
Any students to sneak in late without being noticed by
everyone in the room. As you guys enter, you see the
stealing rice is high above you.In a dome of what looks like
black steel, beams and dark oak inside rows of stone benches,
descend toward a sort of flickering.
Chandelier hovering sort of bouncing back and forth with no

(03:40:08):
chain above a long half circle table.
That looks to have a number of strange, Arcane devices on top
of them. Pulsing with planar magic in
front of this table is rather behind.
It is a giant slab of obsidian with a small floating piece of
chalk drawing on it. Righting out, great diagrams and

(03:40:29):
showing what looks like a massive tree drawing upwards.
There are a number of people here.
It's actually a rather large lecture hall, you, count 2030
would you guess somewhere in therealm of 35 students in total in
the room? And at the base of the hall,
pacing back, and forth, and sortof a zigzag pattern, you spot

(03:40:49):
zephyrx, the boundless. He's got that massive feathered
hat, which seems to almost shiftcolors in the dull.
Flickering, light of the chandelier above him, his robe
Sparkle with an bright sort of orangish, yellow Hue.
And he sort of hops from foot tofoot as the chalk scribbles
behind him. As you guys push in being a bit

(03:41:11):
late, comers in the doors Creak open, you see you sort of
interrupt the storm of Xavier's Voice already in mid lecture he
stopped and you see his eyes turn up toward the two of you
and a huge green creep. Across his face smile creeping
closer and closer to the tip of his ear, it disappears in a
moment and he continues speakingas if nothing happens and

(03:41:32):
imagine. Yes, imagine a System, right?
But it's not a tree. No, no.
It's a rating. Cosmic Beast 12 IDE, seven
tongue. Did it licks its own tail?
That's the world. Tree Theory, all planes.
All of them are merely leaves orpossibly Roots.
He collapse. His hand in the board bursts
into a rotating image. As you see, it spins slowly to

(03:41:53):
the other side of the obsidian block, on the other side, seems
to be a very large elongated trunk with different portions
labeled, he continues the edge of the Ethereal phrase.
Yes, always freeing like a throat of something Whispering
through a door that doesn't exist.
Any Mudders, something in a deepdistant voice, a language Prime,

(03:42:15):
he speaks primordial for a moment, the stops.
If you press your ear to the Border, you can hear its
breathing the chocolate beside him and scribbles swirls on the
black obsidian slab. Diagrams began overlapping one
another. You see all the students in the
room seemed to be hard at work writing down everything.
They see almost dedicated to this.
They all were black robes and short black hats, similar to

(03:42:37):
those that you saw walking around circad.
Yeah, can I get my notebook out?Sure, the two of you sort of
slip into a stone seat and sit and sit down.
You notice his eyes flick towards you once again and his
posture tightens for but a moment, his Pace gross faster
and his words sort of getting a bit more fractured.
He speaks out again now that I was saying the Ethereal plane

(03:42:59):
Closest plane to the material plane.
So it's the kind of place that you can get to with just a snap
of a finger. He snaps his finger on a spark
of magic shoots up into the air.Almost no one raises their eyes.
A few people sort of look up aimlessly, but most seem to be
hard at work. Write down as much as they can
in their notebooks. Now the necessary was saying
before homework for this. Class simple.
Go to the return. Alive that you tell me what they

(03:43:25):
look like and smell like, please.
Thank you very much. And as usual, please study the
world tree a bit more thoroughly.
I noticed every time I come here, more people keep talking
about this damn wheel. There's no wheel.
There's only the tree. All right, don't get it all in
your head that there's some wheel.
It's a damn tree. He punches the tree again in the
entire obsidian. Slab, begins spinning once
again. You know the students around you
speed up their riding desperately.

(03:43:45):
Tried to write down, everything they can on the Blackboard
before it spins to the other side showing.
Once again, the sort of zoomed out version of a tree.
And several diagrams, looks likemagic circles teleportation
circles lined up over each other.
He looks around the room and then claps.
Anyway, lecturer over that's playing a drift class.

(03:44:07):
Remember if you fall out of time, just swim with it, not to
get it. Um sort of look at the time,
there's a large clock in the room and he was running way
ahead of time. He's finished if this is the end
of class, he's at least an hour early.
Oh, then he says class dismissed, do not linger if you
do, I will take you. What the can I gave the

(03:44:33):
reactions of the fellow studentsfor that?
You look around all of the students here, have a very Grim
expression on their face. It's the kind of expression of
those people who got the really fucking crazy teacher.
But they know they have to get through it to graduate.
These are people who are No Nonsense, you see, no joy in
this room. Know laughter instead they are
serious about the what they do. You know, notice, none of the

(03:44:55):
students hesitate as he says that they scatter standing up
and making the way toward the exit quickly.
He then, laughs once sort of short and horse.
Didn't even tugging at the sleeve of his robe.
Let's go. Okay, I will now settle spell.
What? Demos sending her.

(03:45:19):
No. Sorry, message my best.
And I will say it seems, we havelost our advantage of hiding
within plain sight of other students who he can't kill.
Should we run? Know, I think I think we got
this. I think we have small friend.
Higher does not cast ending again, but he looks at you in a

(03:45:43):
way that says somehow, I don't feel like the party supports our
mission right now. Look look like a lot of like
fear and like no confidence, maybe like some trembling a
little bit. but this is So, as the students clear out of the

(03:46:06):
room quickly, you notice Everestclap his hands at the front of
the class clap. And the chalk falls to the
ground smacking to the ground hard and all the runes and
teleportation Circle Magic on the doll sport.
Collapse into chalk dust fallingdown leaving the Whiteboard.
Empty the students scatter even quicker.
Now exiting the room quickly, while the two of you talk

(03:46:27):
professor professor may may we have a wood real quick.
The the last student of the 35 or so make their way out of the
room and not a second before they do, you watch zabrac
disappear and then reappear oh, we should blink and he's a

(03:46:48):
cross. The room.
No transition. No sound.
He appears his face inches away from hires staring at you.
Tired definitely falls down. Oh, you see most steps in
between higher and Zach's. His eyes are still piercing

(03:47:08):
through your body. The most staring at where higher
is on the floor below. You are not here at the
beginning. We need your mirror.
You were late because time doesn't love you, does it.
Hi Mr. On us, all his eyes flickup to you the most, did you
arrive late or did you arrive twice?
He then starts circling around you.

(03:47:31):
Crawling up the side of the stone desk.
The lecture hall, his fingers are twitching around him and you
see something for a moment twitch around his head.
It looks Arcane in nature. I'm sort of spell award, but it
disappears. Look, stop Rex, we would appear
as many times as we need to. Okay.

(03:47:52):
We just And the most would grit clenches teeth.
We just need some Assistance from someone, as powerful as
you, we can pay. We're not here.
Empty-handed. He sort of hops around you
circling and he speaks off to the side of you all.

(03:48:13):
Maybe they sent you, huh? You talk to them.
Don't you the woman at the at the front of the office, the
mission's lady. She said this this is what you
class would be. He hops to the side of you.
Then jumps 10 feet, almost like a leap in front of you and we
can circling back around to behind you again, sort of

(03:48:35):
hopping back and forth to the side, not standing still for a
moment behind you. You hear quiet voice the most.
I think I should erase you. But I won't he takes a slow
breath and stops for the first time since you've seen him.
I would just watch and he smilesthat big too big smile and began
circling around in front of you.Again, I don't think you need my

(03:48:57):
help. At all.
I think what you need is somebody to take advantage of.
I know you. I know you all.
I remember you from Circa and I don't know how you left, but
that's fine. That's fine.
There's only one other way out of circad and that's through the
lady of pain. So you've Allied yourself with
her then doesn't take a smart man to Intuit that does it?

(03:49:19):
And I had, my shop was just raided our source.
Is that one guy that really shady guy in town, you know,
like his fingers, kind of twitchand you see his pupils and
narrow for a moment as he staresat you.
Thank you for working with you remembered his name.

(03:49:41):
If you found yourself with the lady of pain and then, you know,
friends of mine. And I don't know famous for you
why are you here? Look suffix might be here to ask
for the mirror. I'm here to demand it.
Oh, from the from like sort of laying out on the ground.
I intentions. My best.

(03:50:06):
You know, maybe this wasn't the best plan.
Yeah, 10 a 10. Oh yeah, man, unless my buddy
damos wants to help. Tweet, did not hear a 10, he
sort of Chuckles. Most too, right?

(03:50:27):
And he stops in front of you guys circled, once more and sort
of hops up on one of the desks crouching low.
But I level with you demos, but a bit higher up because he's
sitting on this thing. He speaks quietly again and
goes. If you came up here, you won't
get it. It's mine.
I own it. In fact, you'll have to kill me
for it. And if that's her attention,

(03:50:48):
then good luck. I always know where you are.
You know that now then I Believelyrics of course.
And now, before I leave you here, just be on with me.
Right. Could you do that?
No, they must do not answer. Yes.
The most, I need you to be clearwith me.
You came to my class clearly, you had to pass to get into

(03:51:08):
here. Just share your thoughts with me
for a minute. Why the hell would you come
here? If you're planning on?
Threatening me and tried to takemy mirror, you knew I would say,
know what else is it? Oh, look cervix.
I I see that my tiny friend herehas gotten a little big for his
britches as it were. Xavier we're stuck here in

(03:51:34):
waterdeep. Okay.
And you're the only person, we know whoever known who can
travel planes or whatever. From that dumb, cursed me that
you have And despite all the hate I have for you, I
understand that you help people,sometimes even your students,

(03:51:58):
especially so look. We just need to get the plane of
ether and that's it. That's all we're asking me.
We don't need your own your stupid man.
We just need one use. That's it he smiles that all too
big smile one more time and you see his eyes sort of grow bigger
for a moment. As he goes, then we'll make a

(03:52:19):
deal. You could use my marriage but
just you want. Let you use it for free, you
know, friends any day you like as much as you like on one
condition, you'll come back to circuit and you kill the lady of
pain for me. Ah, do you really believe that's
feasible for the two of us? Well, not, of course, for the
two of you, but I know you have allies probably even in circuit

(03:52:42):
get that fella Samir to help youor jackknife.
I'm sure they could help out perhaps more.
I would even be willing to lend.You my hand too, to remove that.
Bastard from Power, think on itskilled.
I mean it, nobody Harvest more ill will toward that bitch more
than me. You know, as well as I do, she

(03:53:02):
has an out for me. She wants me dead so she can
have power on the mirror again. Like she did Once Upon a Time,
but I won't give it to us. Now, if you accept this, I will
help you in every way I can. And we could read sick out of
that monster. But until then, thank God it.
And if you ever think about instead coming from me, try to

(03:53:24):
take me out and he looks down athigher as he passes one more
time. And goes just remember I have a
minute of your time. He smiles big and big and then
without another word. He disappears with a snap.
I never knew what that meant. You know, portal at all.
You just see him vanish and now you guys are left alone in this

(03:53:46):
room. I had like a Counterpoint to
make two. I was really I You'll get it
next time, I think, either way, he'll be forced to comply with
us, whether it be through the things we can do for him or the

(03:54:07):
things we will do to him. Well we know where to find him
at least. Oh and with that does does my
familiar see anyone exit the building?
Um, that's an interesting point.Did you give me a perception
check for your familiar please? Yes, they think that owls have a
plus five to perception. 20. Only 14.

(03:54:34):
All right. Your elbow watches and with a
14. You are confident that no one
who looks like Zach's left the building.
Oh, just watch carefully. And it's just doesn't seem to
happen. This implies, either he stealth
out faster than your outlook. Could see teller to further than
that, or he still in the building somewhere.

(03:54:55):
But regardless you and hire a left alone in the lecture hall.
Now leaving you do find a peculiarity that this lecture
hall is labeled the zaps the boundless planar laboratory.
It seems to be distinct special for him and him alone.
Us to have a rich father or something.

(03:55:20):
Still in. The room.
Do you want to? Cohorting.
Uh and Cliff awarding, unfortunately takes about an
hour to cast at maybe. Okay.
Yeah, let's get back out of here.
I think that one really well. As well as it could go for
Fabrics. Sure.
I think we gained information atthe very least.

(03:55:43):
Yes. And I want to look really
defeated and pathetic as I leave.
Thank you. Oh okay, just in case just said
we won. We just you know we need to get
to your plane so badly and I just, I don't know what, I'll
have to do to get there. I don't know if people believe

(03:56:05):
that part. Okay, well, you're not helping,
okay? We had a tiny Intimidator cop
and and the reasonable one. Okay, that makes me like more

(03:56:25):
like chop based. Um, I think Fedora.
Yes. Tired guys.
Oh my God. Okay.
So um the two of you guys leave now exiting the building and
making your way all the way backto the Inn in this time, it

(03:56:47):
actually wasn't that long at all.
I would say good. 15 minutes. I caught everyone up on the
situation and honestly not too soon after that higher and demos
return. Holy shit.
You look fucking terrified what happened?
Well Cyborg's happened, we have learned new information.
Did you know that when he asked for a minute of your time?
It's torture us. If he wants to, that's the yes.

(03:57:11):
He used it quite threatening like he could pull out any
moment. He said he would give us the
mirror and let us fully use it. If we decided to kill the lady
of pain, which I think is helpful information within
itself if that be his true intention, see.

(03:57:35):
Okay. Yeah, yes.
But I, I think he also maybe maybe didn't believe our
desperation, but he it seemed asthough he believed, we might
help him. And I think that definitely a
good, you know, better than obstacle in, we might help them.
He also claimed that You can seeus at every moment in time.

(03:57:57):
Oh, So yes, there, there might be, who knows?
Maybe saffron is among us maybe someone else's.
Ah, yes. But it is important to note that
we to some degree, according to Fabrics were being watched.
Oh, yes. Can you can you cast identify on
both me and higher. Just in case done, take a minute

(03:58:20):
to cast it on each of them. Yeah.
You cast a lot of spells. Oh, you're in the room.
Oh, your casting identify meezy?Yes.
Sorry, or if it's amazing can't um, or a face, then you cast
identify you notice on both demos and higher.

(03:58:40):
Don't seem to be any new spells,cast on them.
Not by zaps, you clean up, I guess he was mostly bluffing,
then hopefully, hopefully But atleast we have a schedule every
Tuesday and Thursday, except Thursdays every year of the

(03:59:00):
month. So it's today.
Today. Oh is, is that how they do it?
Oh, Here. But that's okay.
Okay, choices and Thursdays. So he's teaching again in two

(03:59:22):
days from now if it's the right then?
Yes. Shit.
I'm sure we could find this out.I just do.
We have two more days until we need the money for hires brother
or doing you need to table this and focus on getting the money?
How long until the appointment with the priest?

(03:59:45):
So checking my, let me see, checking my little Studio guy.
Here it is. Yeah, two days time.
So oh, you guys are still have abit more time before then.
I'll see you could probably fit in as ever as kill in that time.
If you guys like I've left your own devices.
I think that's a breaks might have been joking or perhaps

(04:00:07):
lying when he said he could see you at all times.
But the minute of your time thing could be a problem.
If you could just pull that out whenever he wants, that will
probably put higher and or a face at risk both having lost
that shit. I forgot I lost it too.
I know demos that the most did you I think?
Oh, yes. Well, I mean higher.

(04:00:31):
I would, you know, regardless inthe battle a minute, there's a
long time. If you was able to Harbor, a
whole minute of your time talking about it could really
turn the tides only that's awful.
Yeah. That's we need a man throw on
our side. Oh my God, we could go for tough
show. I'm I'm if we are truly

(04:00:54):
desperate enough to kill that Rick's immediately, we could age
of fake who on the lady of And have him assist us as he
suggested he would. And then we we allow ourselves
the lady of pain and kill him then and there I worry you too
much speaker, the happiest sinceshe requested, we kill him.
So if he like, bring him into her place and force her to help

(04:01:18):
us, she might be a bit. Put off.
Yes, I just sorry. Go to him.
I mean, we were supposed to go to circuit for this anyways.
So I think she would already be mad with the information about
what we've already done. Oh, God, we were supposed to go
straight to sarcastic. Well, yes, I assumed to
confronting him today. Well, I thought we just won't
fighting him today. What's yes?

(04:01:40):
I agree. So what's her next move?
We could try to get him in circuit.
Um, probably I think he still has a door there, right?
I'm sure he'll be there sooner or later.
It's just about time and it's right, but I guess now we know.
Didn't you say disappeared at the end of your talk?

(04:02:02):
Its top of us fingers, he was gone.
So seems like he might have goneback to Circuit, though.
I do think samira's right beforewhen he suggested, we don't
attack him on his own turf. So I guess the thing is hired
has a good idea about lowering him out.
I don't think we should use the lady of pain, which we should
find a way to lure him out of his home.

(04:02:23):
Yes, I think so. Do you can lower him?
I mean we could get them in thatclassroom.
You guys set, it was empty at the end of their right, true.
But I didn't know, you know, do you think he has anything
prepped there? Just in case?
It's now I don't know. Well, I thought we had to do it
somewhere in circad, right. The mirror.

(04:02:45):
Guess not only doesn't have the mirror.
Yeah I'm also confused on that the lady of pain said she had
raided his shop so I don't know perhaps one of us could send to
the lady of pain or something ifyou want to double check.
If if he know if he let's say heis watching us at all times.

(04:03:07):
I know not all of us. Thought that to be true, but if
we have the mirror WhatsApp, notcome for us to get the mirror.
It's pretty big. I don't know how he would steal
it. Well, We don't have to steal it.
Maybe we could have the lady of pain on the plane like tail her.
We need the mirror. I don't know.

(04:03:27):
Yeah maybe be better to tell herthan to just take it.
Well yeah for sure I guess I just I feel he might see that
trap coming. If you know the lady of Fame has
the beer and then we have it. I don't know.
He I don't necessarily know if we would catch him on aware.
Yes. If and if he knows we have it he

(04:03:48):
might just play the long game and you know wait months or
maybe even a year just to until we're vulnerable enough for him
to take it. Yeah.
But Maybe we talked to the lady of pain about what we about our
situation. She said she's more details, but

(04:04:11):
what was going on there with? All right, to Sarcan, I guess we
could go back but I think once we do that, we're officially in
on killing like, we can't. Yeah, that's our fourth job.
I'm yeah, I think it's, it's what we should do.
I mean, I only dressed before wedo it as I think we all will to
get our spell slots back. Yes, yes, UPS.

(04:04:31):
A night in so bad. Sounds nice to me.
I'm sorry, I gave away our position so I think it was on
all of us. I feel pretty good about the
plan but I'm just glad you are both safe.

(04:04:52):
That is a dangerous user. If I had known, you were going
there to fight him alone. I would have been horrified, let
alone talk with him. I'm glad you are safe.
I sort of thought he wouldn't hurt us in front of all the
other students. So we wouldn't have to fight him
and then he dismissed all the students.
Almost immediately. Yes.
Yes. And he kept on, he was going on

(04:05:15):
about this world tree. He was actually quite adamant
about it, so interesting. I mean, it sounds right to me.
I've never been taught anything else.
I just have this inherent feeling, that can't be it.
I heard something about a wheel.I don't you sound so much more
elegant. You know, we could depart right

(04:05:36):
now. We wanted to, let's do it.
All right, let's actually so howmuch do we care about the Vinny
situation before saying? No, yes, we do care.
So so much about you and, you know, we want things like be

(04:05:57):
better for you. I'm gonna catch up with you and
everything but then like not doing that for the second time.
Yeah, you think if it's I mean it's already been a couple of
days so I don't know. I don't know, he wanted some
space. Him.

(04:06:19):
Doesn't kidnapping thing, true. True say hi?
Yeah, speaking of Vinny. Oh, yeah.
The prior to Father, Lucius is dead.
What did she say? How murdered, I think it was.
Did he know him by name? Know.
He just said the blind Pious manly feel man.

(04:06:44):
Yes, piles. So I we didn't we didn't
investigate mostly katastri leftif we wanted.
I do feel a level of urgency with this Fabrics thing and it
we will be back to wash your teeth, right?
If we live. Yes.
Yeah. And malagos great news, you're a

(04:07:08):
super spreader. Oh my God it's so fresh breader
that disease. You have.
Hmm. Seems to have infected.
All of the Grave District, I think it was.
Oh, fuck. Does that mean?
What are you in the graveyard? Just know.

(04:07:30):
I've never been to know. Graveyard district with the
hell, hmm. Maybe it only affects like
Undead sorts and I suppose I wason that one.
Oh, I see just a thought. So yeah, maybe don't tell anyone
about your disease and maybe geta Kia, you know?

(04:07:51):
All right, he's got his arms sort of crossed and his head
cocked to the side shit you guysI didn't mean to you know I have
nowhere playing this whole back and forth.
Oh are you are you not sickled? I guess thing but fuck I hope I
didn't infect an area and less like the dad are born with it
but then or a face would definitely get it because or a
face concerts on dead. It's actually I I thought I

(04:08:16):
heard the general opinion of theworld was that perhaps or face
was not Undead. Oh, that seems unlikely to me.
Ah, yeah, you're probably right.You're probably okay.
But so we need to care malagos. We should say goodbye to Vinny.
I, I think we need to be quick about this Mavericks thing.

(04:08:39):
I think we should save investigating father Lucius for
another day. If you all right, a lot going
on. Yes, I agree.
Let's do this. After next thing.
I mean, clearly when higher, andthe most went to go to South
Africa, he's already got. This is defense is up.
So if we take advantage of it, now before he can do anything
about it, it might be a good time.
I wish that we could have no spent a little bit more time

(04:09:02):
planning on this, but I think wealready had to go to plan
putting him in the situation. That is not good for teleporters
would be a good start. For example, a cave or a closed
room. Hell I could even load him into
my Shop. Maybe I could like pretend but I
can do his store again and he'llchase me back.
Oh, that's All does he know? No.

(04:09:23):
You all disappeared, the night did this.
Well, but he might not know for sure, but do you think we were
allies? He tried to take his cat
somewhere lure him with that. I don't know.
Maybe I'm grasping at straws, I'm just a bitch worried.
He'll destroy your store Samir. If there's something I worry

(04:09:45):
about too, but I know that well,jack knife will be there.
I don't want to put her at risk,but what else could we do it?
That would be safe. I mean, unless we took him to
the lady of paint Fortress but Idoubt she would stand for that.
Yeah, I don't think she would take kindly to that for back to
square one. Then of just sort of going at it
and see where it what do we land?

(04:10:13):
He's so unpredictable. Smear Nazis had I think it would
be all right. If my story gets wrecked then
Soviet I like that place but I can't think of no place better
in all of sarcadi. A favor, so long as he's not in
jail, you know, these molds are in Corpse, we could I don't

(04:10:35):
know. Samir closes his eyes a bit and
then opens them. Oh my god.
Wow. Do you think anyone could get in
contact with him maybe with sending he did?
Say he owed us a favor, right? This could be the favorite but I
thought, I don't know. Is it too early to call
something like that? Maybe the lady of pain knows
where he is. The way I see.
It is an ally Who's Alex doesn'tknow.

(04:10:56):
We have who's quite powerful so he could help us lures after
somewhere and then maybe help kill him.
Also look at rallies and see if he recognizes him as a son, I
guess either demos or I could guess sending to him.
Yeah, no worries. No worries.
I mean, I don't know. What do you say to a terrorist?

(04:11:21):
Thank you. He might have something to gain
from Xavier's being dead too, even money or maybe a favor
towards the lady of pain to helpher stories reputation.
Maybe not that one but you know,Maybe he just wants to help out

(04:11:42):
his his eldest son. You've ever seen really good.
We heard the story about Xavier.Exploring alcohol and laughing
at the corpse. Oh, we're actually into each
other in life trees. Great.
That is really like the type of man that would take anyone in a
way just like malagos. Wait, that was not very nice,

(04:12:05):
but No, I take it, it's fine, you know, I get it.
You know, you guys forget that? We've got one more member of the
DK crew here and slaps Abel on the back, sort of that.
I suppose, I haven't gotten in aproper fight in this.
He had body yet, but I believe Icould do some damage.
I would do say before we leave, though, I'd love to borrow

(04:12:25):
someone's weapon, a sword, wouldbe fine for me.
I could even poked my head in the market and grab one, but
these fish aren't doing quite what I'd like them too.
That's all. I don't think any of us have a
sore. So Marcus might be here.
Best option for that, right? I'll go right now.
I'll be right back and it will bows and steps out.
As you see, Malaga, slip, him some money as they both nodded

(04:12:45):
each other and Malika's. Oh, don't worry about it.
All right, pick up an instrumentwhile you're out.
Oh my goodness. I would love to the problem is
the kind of instruments. I want to repeat more expensive
than this poetry. So I'm not like us just had me
no fence. I fuck you do it.
I can buy instruments but it's just a nice one.
So, actually worth quite a few. I was walking to the market the

(04:13:05):
other day in cognito when I was still.
A wanted criminal. I suppose.
I am still wanted criminal anyway and I noticed that,
unfortunately, some of the nicest instruments are worth
about 100 gold pieces quite an amount.
Yeah, that's good, about that. Well, worth it for a fine
instrument. I say that much.
Have you ever thought about liberating an instrument?
My goodness? Healing.

(04:13:28):
Whoa whoa you know but for the greater good Liberation is not
such a bad idea in my opinion. But you know, Well, I never the
most I thought you more of a nobleman.
I plan on buying it from a proper salesman.

(04:13:49):
In fact, I'm looking for the finest instrument maker in town,
perhaps, an old family store, some place that really knows
their stuff. Well, Worth to him for now, get
to sort. Know it's an scampers out the
door room. All right.
So now with the fucking weekly on I'm saying we kicked out to
the balls. Pull his hair and bite.
I want to fight dirty. Dulum.

(04:14:12):
You remember all those traps youset up for that robot bitch he
can set up like 10 times more for a little teleporting fuker.
I'm not sure which ones, but that is a good idea.
I want to turn some errors. Fucking shop into a death trap.
No offense Samir. But I wanted drink to the
fucking brim. What do you guys think?
It's not an honorable way to fight.
But Fabrics is not an honorable opponent and he won't If we

(04:14:34):
don't do it, he will harder. So give him hail anyway.
I know I'm the last person you might expect to say this but
worth it worth be. I don't know.
Would it be worth considering Zach's proposal?
Obviously the lady of pain is much more acceptable of a friend
but she won't be able to get guarantee in the dimensional

(04:14:54):
travel. But if that breaks really will,
let us use the mirror. I just want to play a devil's
advocate on this, is this worth it?
Or is it? We surely against him?
Won't we throw sarcastic and anguish?
If we do, he's evil And tried togo use me.

(04:15:15):
You're right, I agree. But, and that's why coming from
me, it should be expected as themost, I don't know.
I just want to be rational aboutthis.
You understand, as if anyone I have the most recent hate him,
but the lady of pain will offer US money.
We need gold. It is through and getting that
from, what would be worth it. And it would be doing the world

(04:15:36):
getting rid of an evil person. I just want to make sure you're
all good. Okay, with this, I don't know.
to be comfortable, destabilizingserve CAD, you know, I agree.
Okay good. I like it.
That is that makes me happy. I do feel as if zaverich
vanishes or if the lady of pain vanishes that will give the
other an overall advantage over circuit.

(04:15:59):
Yes. But don't know the lady of pain.
She's tall, but she's fair, you know, fabric He's random.
I mean, it's it's definitely better.
The lady of pain be the one to come on top but well it will
make her more powerful. Well I also always imagine her
that way. Well yeah how about you do them?

(04:16:22):
How do you imagine her? and just So what ingredients?
We kills Alex for the lady of pain.
So Dudes want to speak to the lady of pain, or yes?
What is access there in the ladyof pains Fortress or do you just

(04:16:44):
mean in sarkaz and the lady of pains Fortress, I don't think
he'd be. so bold, but if he Did that?
We all the better? We Fighting him.
His home turf with the lady of fans, guards to Pakistan's up,
this is true. Even predictable I guess.
But I should we press the buttonthen zabrac hole, let's kill

(04:17:05):
that motherfuker. Yeah.
Um Mason what was the conversionfrom circad time to water deep
time it is a near replicable sarcastically faster.
So one day in the material planeis about 1.1 days in circuit.

(04:17:25):
So circad is just a bit faster, okay?
Sick, but otherwise, they're pretty much similar.
It's just over the course of years and years.
Less time happens in the material plane.
That happens in a circuit with their clothes.
All right, let's kill this motherfuker.
I've been waiting to kill this bastard forever.
He might be the one person that you guys keep saying is the most
evil guy, we know. And so it's just worth it to

(04:17:45):
take this fucker out. I agree.
Um, I don't know who has the boxbut The box.
I put bring it out. And press hit circad button.
You slam it and the most starts able to.
Yeah. We also need Monte.
Okay, feel? Okay.
I'll be back in two minutes. You can always once a day.

(04:18:13):
Fuck. Oh, fuck you.
Can I undo hitting it? Right.
I mean this said, hit the Box face and Mason, can I reaction
hold person. Or a face just as you go to

(04:18:43):
press the button. The most begins casting a Spell
on You Do you want to roll a saving throw or do you want to
let it out? No.
It's over a fast or if it's not here yet.
I just keep doing that here. You know what I hand the cube to
do them. For all.

(04:19:09):
The Spells cast your good now. So, after about 10 minutes, able
returns with a gleaming long sword.
Fresh iron that I just bought from the blacksmith with the big
smile on his face. Look at how wonderful this is.
It's just, like, back in Valhalla, isn't it okay.
Yes, glorious, does. He hand it to me?
He lets you look at it. Yeah, okay.

(04:19:30):
I tried to pick it up and I can't hold it.
And I triple it off. It's definitely heavier than you
remember. And oh, I soared buddy did his
smile at all. Look like Fabrics is duh.
Sure roller perception. Check.
We never gave him. The code word.
Yep. We fucked up 17.
It didn't look like Fabrics is now just a sharp smile.

(04:19:54):
Maybe maybe or fish is cast identify real quick.
What I could you chill on that goodness.
You reach over Abel and begin casting.
We must admit goes by, and, you know, notice able is not
stricken by any unusual spells seems the same You and I made

(04:20:15):
for Queen, Regency before we stop with this nonsense.
I'm me know. He was like it, okay, well not
to me. What was the last thing we made
Queen City, right? Right.
Yes, I am not sure exactly it was during a festival, wasn't it
must have made a parade float tosomething, you know, I don't

(04:20:35):
have good memories for that kindof thing.
The last creature we made for her Garden's, he sort of plants
his head down and rubs his head and go and speaks an animal that
you recall is being something that the two of you had made
together a space, okay. This is able.
Sorry. Okay no smart nothing to
apologize. For I heard well then if

(04:20:58):
Ticketmaster here as well then Iso we're not gonna say bye to
Vinny. I mean we can just visit him
another time we can send as well.
Okay. Yeah.
Maybe they will send to Vinny. Sorry.
I just used to work on the best terms.
I get it. I guess I'll send real quick to
many, um, something came up. Be right back.

(04:21:20):
Yes, XOXO just kiss. I thought it was an impersonal,
but then you made a personal. Yeah.
Trying a new approach. This day, most flirt with
everyone. Yes.

(04:21:44):
It's cold. You receive a simple response,
okay? That bitch.
Whatever. Fine, let's just go you guys.
Alright, well, I suppose I have a sword now, so I'm quite
prepared. Is there anything else we must
gather you want to bring along the, the bedridden child and the

(04:22:05):
bird child? I fears Fabrics will use them
against me if we don't. I also fear.
He might already be them. Sure.
Would you like me to carry one? Um the bird can walk just fine
and my brother can walk Kim be guided right?
Sure. Maybe we can push them in a room

(04:22:26):
at the smoldering corpse just cuz I do worry about the meaning
in samir's shop during the fight.
Do we have no one trustworthy and they entire city of watery
we can leave with do any of you know, of course but I just mean
traveling with them all the way to search and couldn't we just
leave them here and watch it deep.
I just, I don't know, it feels wrong.

(04:22:47):
Taking Paul Monti so far away from my healing but he can come
back just as easily, of course. Of course it's just all right,
talk about all these friends youhad.
