(00:30):
Hello everyone and welcome to Songwobin The Lanaya Expedition.
Hey, you're here.
And thank you for that.
Legitimately.
Whether it's through the first notes of the morning or you've just been hugged by a long
day or whether you're committing your eyes or just your ears to us, letting us play in

(00:53):
the background, you're playing us on a computer, you're listening to the podcast, you're watching
the video, whether you're just coming here, just spending your time with us, anything
like that.
Thank you.
Legitimately.
Welcome.
Always, always welcome.

(01:15):
Of course, I am joined today by the three people who made this possible.
The three people who made this bean could never have made this without them.
Big heart sign.
Of course, starting with our guest who will be having his final session today with us.

(01:39):
Who has been through the thick and thin of the past half year.
Absolutely just been through the sludge.
And this is our dear friend, JT.
JT, the mod!
Has been my pleasure to join the table.

(02:02):
Don't worry, I shall be back in some form at some point, but I must go back into the
mod corner for now.
It's where he's safe.
For the next adventure.
It's safe from all the drama of playing in Tim's campaigns.
Critical your character off screen.
Ha ha.

(02:23):
And kill me if you can't find me!
JT, it hasn't been a campaign.
It's been a cam pleasure.
Now of course, um, of course, next up we have the stalwarts, the ever, the ever present,
Emma Remusco.

(02:43):
Hello.
Hi everybody.
It's so good to be here.
Thanks for everyone who's tuned in with us.
This is our season finale!
From the very beginning, she's been an absolute soldier.
An absolute powerhouse of our, of our streams and everything.

(03:05):
And me, like, she was, she, me and Jenny picked her to be, to be with us.
And it's just been the absolute, an absolute highlight of our lives.
What the fuck?
Nobody feels bad about what's gonna happen today, I guess.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
He mother's.
I'm just being nice.
Ohhhhhhh.
They don't trust me.
That's, thank you, thank you.

(03:25):
I'm wearing the white dress shirt to show that I'm scuffed and tired.
And of course.
Love you Tim.
Or how the kids do it these days.
This hurts my hands.
Why do you children do it like this?
Do the K-pop one?
This one just looks like a butt.

(03:48):
That's why I just do it in sign language at the end of every episode.
And this whole stream wouldn't be here without her.
Which is succinct, to say the least.
I know, I know her very well.
Known each other for almost half our lives by this point.

(04:08):
Stop!
And I will continue to know her.
The reason why my heart brags, it doesn't beat, it brags.
It's Jenny Sherard.
It's meeeee.
If that's not in your fucking wedding vows, I'm suing both of you.
He says things.

(04:30):
There's several moments where he'll say things and I'm like, okay, well, I'm, this is, it's
kind of scary to be a competitive person when, you know, the person you're gonna marry one
day probably is a writer.
I know!
You guys get up for the vows and you're already like, you motherfucker, as you're flipping

(04:53):
through your flip cards.
Hello, Angela.
Hello!
Hello!
Oh!
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
What did you do?
Was that me?
That was Timmy.
He's gotta fix his mic.
Oh no!
It's frozen on, it's frozen on the thingy.
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
Stream looks fine on my screen.
Mine's fine on mine.

(05:14):
It's fine on the computer.
It might be your phone, Emma.
Yeah, it's my phone.
Hello everyone.
Welcome back.
Well, absolutely.
Hello Angela.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.

(05:35):
Hello, Angela.
Thank you for popping by for your first time.
She can't see anyone's camera, so no.
Can't?
Oh, you're just listening.
Oh, okay.
I think.
Um, but yeah, I got some things to say to Jenny.
At the wedding.
At the wedding?
I got some things to say to you.

(05:57):
Jenny's gonna be like, listen, bitch.
I promise to spend the rest of my life as it contributes to how much you complete me.
Anyways.
Welcome.
Again.
And thank you.
So a couple announcements at the very top of the stream.

(06:19):
This is our season finale.
Yay.
Season finale.
I've seen it before.
This will be the last session our guests will be attending.
So, after today, after tonight's session, we're going to be taking a small break from streaming,

(06:44):
but an even bigger break from Lanaya.
We're going to take a break from Lanaya, but that absolutely does not mean we are going
away.
There's too much for the story to keep telling.
Cecilia and Jean-Claude's tale is just barely beginning to unfold and there is just so much
goodness and so much mystery to continue to unravel.
And look how much they've grown already in only a week.

(07:07):
Getting out of the prologue, you know.
Yeah, this is the prologue.
But now, but keep an eye out because we are, we're always in the process of cooking something
over here in Songwulven.
So for the very next time you see us on the stream, it'll be something a little bit new.

(07:32):
But we will be back to Lanaya and that is a promise.
Is there anything else at the top of the stream that we should announce?
Ouch.
No, I'm just trying to make it clear.
Yeah, you said we're taking a break.
That means we are, we will not be streaming through the rest of March unless we decide
to do some like non-game, like non-TTRPG streams or different TTRPG.

(07:58):
But right now there's nothing planned, especially because there's some holidays on Sundays and
whatnot since Easter is on March Sunday this year.
So yeah.
We'll see you next month potentially whenever we see you for something special.

(08:20):
We'll see you when we see you.
I believe that's it.
I believe the thing that we have to do now, let's get to the recap.
JT is already rubbing the face because a lot's happened and it all comes through to you really

(08:46):
fast.
Looking at my notes.
Spiders!
Yes.
We went into...
Spiders and werewolves and oh my!
We went into Rexon with the astral projection of Cecilia's sister Delmyra and with the plan

(09:13):
to have Captain Lee try to distract the automatons that are guarding the ambit and the moon shard
that we're after that we believe to be causing everything.
And we had a reluctant agreement with Mero, a creepy old bone dude who's weird and vague

(09:34):
about things a lot.
Don't trust his ass.
That he would take care of the Venator who we are very scared of.
And so we managed to get inside the ambit, it's Delmyra, Cecilia, Jean-Claude, and then
we encounter the Paradebot that was taken over by this red moon and everything.

(09:57):
That we fought in a very cool fight.
It's genuinely...
I was going to post about this.
It was like, for people who missed the last episode, that fight is kind of a must watch
in my opinion because it's kind of the coolest fight I've done ever.
It was so cool!

(10:18):
It was really good.
It was really well done, really well constructed.
So we fought him and then we got into where the Archmage of the town had been keeping
the moon shard and we find the Archmage changed into a werewolf tied and left under the red
moon.

(10:39):
And we left Dalmar with him as his old friend.
And while Jean-Claude and Cecilia went towards the moon shard, as Cecilia could sense where
it was from the other moon shards wanting to reconnect with it, Dalmar lets down the
mage who then attacks him and tries to hold back but isn't able to quite save from the

(11:02):
madness.
And they're struggling with that.
Meanwhile, Cecilia is trying to get the moon shard.
She left the other ones with Jean-Claude and was trying to reason with this childish moon
shard that's controlling all the memories of everyone in Rexxon.

(11:25):
And so she tried to take control and eventually talk the moon shard down.
But meanwhile, while that was happening, Dan Loran shows up with a giant spider retriever
trying to get the moon shards for Kari in the name of Char, stupid stuff.
Dan Loran's not as into this, but apparently he has to.

(11:49):
He's still a, what do you call it?
An observer.
Yeah.
And so Dan Loran's got this big retriever.
It does like a ton of damage.
But then the werewolf comes and distracts him.
And then we start shifting out of whatever plane we're in, seemingly, potentially.

(12:14):
We don't know that for sure.
That was our theory, I think.
Or unless you said it, I don't remember.
But there's a white light as the retriever was about to blast towards us after we've
retrieved the moon shard.
Yes, that's just a theory.
Dragmire's like, the background's changed.
Yes, for our season finale, the background is different.

(12:35):
Welcome Omayy and Dragmire.
Maybe we are in the, oh yeah, we're trying to figure out what plane we're coming from.
We don't even know what plane we were in.
It's not, maybe I was, if it was the Feywild, I was going to have Jean-Claude freak the
fuck out.
It didn't feel Feywild-y, but we've seen the red moon in the Feywild and there's been

(12:56):
connections to the Feywild, so I don't know.
Feywild's usually more whimsical.
This sucked.
This sucked all around.
This sucked ass.
Oh, maybe it was the Shadowfell.
Because it didn't give me Shadowfell vibes either, but the possibility, because the Shadowfell
is kind of like an opposite parallel to the Feywild was my thought process, and we know

(13:20):
that the Feywild has things with the red moon, so that was my theory, but I'm not sure.
We don't know.
Neither did our ex, um, ex, uh, what's it freaking called?
Ex-sphinx, Augustus, the cat.
No, not Augustus.
It was just Aphieus.
Augustus hasn't done anything here.
He's been gone.
Oh right, Aphieus has been weird the whole time.

(13:42):
Aphieus couldn't figure, no, no, not Aphieus, the griffon.
Oh gosh, my memory's bad.
Okay, the griffon, Thaddeus.
Thaddeus.
Didn't know.
So, I'm just gonna confuse people more because I'm getting confused.
I'm finding a lot of cool little emotes in our channel now.
Oh yeah.
I found a dog.
I'm not sure where you're getting though.

(14:05):
You can also modify emotes with your channel points, which I have.
Let me, let me see.
I gotta, we still need to add the channel points.
Maybe, maybe, just maybe when we come back to Linaya, um, we'll actually get the channel
points worked out.
We'll get them done at some point.

(14:28):
Until then.
Thanks, oh my, why I'm playing with the gifts and the little things.
Like the Pikachu eating ramen.
My emote modify didn't work.
Come on Twitch.
It did work.
Zack Meyer made Cecilia with sunglasses.

(14:49):
Alright everyone.
Okay, serious time.
Red has been the prevalent color for the past few days.
Maybe not days, but definitely long moments, long strands of time.

(15:15):
Whatever you were in the city, um, red dominated the entire sky.
The only sanctuary really was being within the buildings or being within your tents.
But even you knew that that red moon was prevalent outside.
It lurched over you.
It felt like it was a hunter ready to pounce.

(15:36):
That's been the reality for you three for the past moments.
But now a different color dominates the entirety of your vision.
As the moon shards become tamed, white overtakes everyone's vision.

(16:00):
It's whites for a bit as you feel this calm settle over you.
The beating, the still beating of your heart.
Your thoughts become blank for a very moment.
But then for Jean-Claude and Dalmar, who both have to give me wisdom saving throws right

(16:28):
now.
Ah yes, my highest stat.
That is a 14.
Is that a 10?
The DC is 10?

(16:51):
Oh fuck yeah.
Thank goodness.
A win is a win.
I'd be like you forget everything.
In this sort of temporary temporal blindness, your heart finally snaps to your brain and

(17:12):
you think and you're immediately flooded with color from all angles, from all different
walks of life.
Dalmar suddenly you are walking your son through a park.
No you are you know you're having a picnic with your family on outside at Everett Park.

(17:38):
No you're no you're doing you're doing your taxes for you and your grandpa at the office.
No no no no no no no no no.
You're trying to save your village of people from this thing that keeps stealing everyone
this this this creature that you don't know that keeps that keeps that keeps stealing

(18:01):
away the kids that keeps stealing everyone away.
You're big you're tall and the last thing and the last thing you see was someone that
you love that young child swallowed by fire.
That's mine Jean-Claude.
Jean-Claude you were you're playing with blocks with letters on them.

(18:25):
You're small your hands are so small.
You wrap your hands around the finger of a larger gruff man who looks at you with a smile
he does not share with anyone.
You walk with your wife as you laugh with each other as you walk away from as you walk
away from the theater having just enjoyed a wonderful show of Join Me in Paradise.

(18:53):
You watch you watch as as your father berates you and and yells at you.
His attempts his constant attempts to reduce you to nothing to reduce you to nothing but
a pile for for daring to shame to slight the family by showing any hint of cowardice.

(19:18):
As you walk away out of town he screams to the town folk to look at you to look at you
as a source of shame for everything to use you as the idol to the marquee the object
to never become.

(19:38):
And the both of you are privy to the site to the flashes of hundreds thousands of lives.
And we go to Cecilia.

(20:04):
You fly through time.
The is sort of five sources of warm five beating thumps held within your hand.

(20:28):
Give me a wisdom saving throw with advantage.
I just have a bad it's my best stat but I have a bad feeling about it.
No natural 20.
Fuck it eight.

(20:50):
As you trek through as you trek through as you trek through these fields you feel like
you've been flunk tossed across realms as the veins in your body as the veins in your
body burn as your heart begins to beat faster and faster.

(21:12):
The white turns to black and Cecilia you gain a permanent level two spouse lot.
Oh what.
Magic.
Fantastic in this as everything has turned to black.

(21:44):
Your mind goes to swimming.
You feel as if you're underwater.
As you hear distorted thoughts and distorted voices go through your head.
You can make that you can make out who they are.

(22:04):
Elmira your father.
You feel the brush of the hair strand.
If you face you feel the familiar hug of your sister.
You feel the reassuring path of Jean Claude.

(22:25):
You feel the strawed hands of a scarecrow push you push your head.
Not again not again.
You feel the presence of snapping jaws directly in front of you not biting you not hitting
you but it was close and it felt destructive.

(22:50):
You feel the rage of this entity of the strange entity who screams and berates you throws
those axes throws your friends all around.
The hug of stellar.

(23:10):
And then you hear clear.
Hey are you okay.
Your vision swims for a moment and you hear you hear hey careful don't touch that we don't

(23:33):
know what that we don't know what that does.
And then you hear another voice.
This guy just came out of nowhere.
Careful don't touch them.
I hear don't touch them and I look for the moon shards if I can see anything.

(23:57):
You spurred to life.
Your vision your vision automatically adjusts as a goal comes to mind.
You need to look those moon shards as you see a as you see multiple road individuals

(24:18):
seem all like all uniformed standing about every one of them standing like cautiously
like off to the office off to the side hands up eyes widen kind of like looking at you
looking looking at you and down more and Jean Claude down more and Jean Claude who are still
at this moment laid out unconscious.

(24:44):
Exactly finally getting this they deserve.
Fuck yeah.
You are in the room that you were in before you were in the you were in the Archmages
room and you see a sort of like very cautious semi circle they might as well be wearing

(25:05):
hazmat suits of people around the box where the moon charts resides in and it lays dormant.
As you awake you see the young man standing over you a sort of lavender haired lavender

(25:28):
haired air genasi with rather round features and a sigil on his on his robe that you've
seen you've seen on the library here.
He just he just goes whoa whoa whoa hold on hold on hold on don't move too fast don't

(25:53):
move too fast you kind of appeared out of nowhere.
She still goes to get the moon shards.
He jumps back as you go over and pick him up.

(26:18):
Are you okay?
First of all I think so.
What's your name?
Cecilia.

(26:38):
I'm Akil Javneer I'm the head of the scribes.
In rexon.
Yes and as that as that as that happens you hear a voice down the hall.

(27:09):
Akil more people are more people are showing up around town.
And Akil goes Akil just kind of like sits up and just goes go help everyone you can.
I look over at Jean Claude and Dalmar hearing that I think there's a slight fear all of

(27:35):
a sudden as she starts to kind of slowly but sure it's like thinking of like what's happening
what's happening what's happening and it's like plane another plane people are shifting
back.
We were in danger.
And she goes to make sure they're okay Jean Claude first and try to wake him up.

(28:02):
As you as you go over you see the scribes kind of like kind of like kind of like keeping
their distance from you at the same time because I'm a little bit unknown right now as you
go over to Jean Claude who is still unconscious on the ground.

(28:29):
She just kind of shakes him a bit.
Like that but without the.

(28:50):
Are they okay are you are they your friends.
Yes yes they they are.
Are they still pretty hurt to to me.
Oh absolutely.
I'm going to.
Yeah I'm going to go ahead and just.
I will cast cure wounds at second level on both of them.

(29:16):
Yeah okay.
At least we won't die in our sleep.
But okay this one's Jean Claude 12.
And then.
Balance out eventually.
This one's 16 for down.

(29:39):
Okay as you tend to them.
Was Cecilia right.
How do they know her name.
They asked.
Oh.
And how do you know.
There would be Jean Claude if he just woke up like and how do you know her name.

(30:02):
I asked.
No you liar.
Have I mentioned that he's wary of everyone.
I never noticed that actually.
What a surprise.
It's almost like it's only like Cecilia that he ever really.
He was suspicious of me too.

(30:23):
And he met me.
Well you were a criminal when he first met you.
He tried to arrest you.
I didn't do anything wrong.
He tried to arrest you.
I was going through the woods.
He tried to arrest you.
I was walking through the woods and he was like oh teenager probably a miscreant.
I remember that time Jean Claude went you are under arrest and then me and Jenny went

(30:46):
what at the same time.
Cecilia right.
Were you one of the ones who disappeared.

(31:10):
So no but do you mean with the.
So a lot of people disappeared from Rexon.
That's what you're saying.
Yes.
I wasn't here when it happened.

(31:31):
But I'd heard about it.
And when we got close we were with.
There was this red moon and automatons.
All of them had gone have been gone too.

(31:54):
And then you see you see peeking through the doorway a small automaton head.
Charlie.
Charlie.
Yeah.
Hello.
The scribes jumped at that.

(32:15):
Oh Charlie.
You're OK.
Yes everything was quite.
Woozy for a little moment there.
You did something.
I think I fixed it but are you still.

(32:42):
Do you feel.
How do you feel.
Oh I feel completely fine.
How are you feeling though.
If you don't feel fine then I won't feel fine.
I mean I'm.
I'm not bad.
This is I think.

(33:04):
Better she's still kind of looking around there was like a big spider about to like
blast them a second ago.
And now she's worried that their friends are waking up.
It's actually when she thinks that she turns back to a keel and goes.
There was this big spider that was about to metal about to blast us right before we left.

(33:27):
I'm worried if things are shifting back that that that might there might still be danger.
I.
And when as soon as you say that.
You hear a.
No no no no no no no no no no no did he throw something at her.

(33:48):
And you hear.
There's no big spider.
And you see and you see describes file out to go see what that is you see right down
the hallway.
You see Dan LaRan.
Sword and sword in hand that right.

(34:10):
Dan LaRan sword in hand military man.
And he is.
He is Kurt.
He is currently situated.
He has a sword.
He has his hand on the chest of of currently a man slouched on top of him.
Arxin.

(34:33):
You see you see them and push.
Arxin off.
He he's exerted.
He has breathing heavily.
Looks around.
Then down the hallway.
And he stand he stands up.

(34:55):
He did it.
She's very.
On.
You see a kill goes.
Sir.
We understand you're feeling quite exerted right now.

(35:21):
And Dan LaRan goes.
Enough.
And I'm over now.
He attacked us.
He's the one who attacked us.

(35:43):
You see the three scribes take began to take position.
And they then describe this goes.
Step out of our way.
And then Cecilia.
You hear in your head.

(36:05):
Cecilia this is Creed.
Be careful.
Sharon's attacked me and Delmira.
She'll respond.
Thank you tell her I'm okay.
And you don't hear a response back.

(36:30):
I don't have hold person.
Prepped.
That what she said.
Char attack.
Sharon Sharon Sharon so multiple ones attack people who follow sure.
That's not good.
How hurt does Dan LaRan look.
He looks more.
He looks quite.

(36:50):
You look spirited.
He looks ready to go.
He looks fine.
Yes.
He had a few scratches on him but that's it.
Not a lot.
Okay.
And I can't get the other two to wake up.
Gosh.
Normally hold person is a must take but I think I unprepped it in favor of locate objects

(37:12):
in case I lost the moon shorts.
Fair enough.
Okay.
I'm going to try something else.
I'm going to cast.
I'm so I've got so much defensive but nothing a lot of healing.
Okay I'm gonna cast calm emotions.

(37:35):
Okay.
To try to prevent a fight from taking out coming out.
It's a charisma saving throw.
DC 15.
There's no need actually.
Because as you cast a spell you feel your magic interrupted.

(37:56):
Oh no.
By way of counter spell.
No.
Is that bitch there too.
She's here.
She's here.
Stupid.
Get me up.
Wake me up now.
Get us up.
Make a wisdom saving throw with disadvantage.
I need to slap her upside the head.

(38:20):
18.
With this.
Dang nice.
That's my highest stat.
And you feel this you feel this paralysis attempt to take you over but you resist.
Now make an athletics check.

(38:41):
With disadvantage because I'm I have a level of fatigue.
Yes.
Oh.
A nat one.
No.
Can you reroll.
Do you have any.
No.
What about the music.
No.
I don't have a reroll.
Unless we've had a short rest.

(39:02):
If we have a short rest I have a reroll but if not I do not.
You are suddenly grappled on each of your arms as the two scribes from behind grab you.
They're all bad.
No.
Oh hello.
Am I here.
Yeah.
Okay cool.
I went static you for a second.
Oh no.
But I'm not.
I'm not.
I'm not.

(39:23):
I'm not.
I'm not.
No.
As all the.
Oh there it is.
Oh strange.
The music is scary.
It is.
See here's what worries me is I have no notes of these scribes from when Tim gave me the

(39:46):
rundown on.
So they're all plants aren't they.
They're plants.
Okay.
You are you are you are grabbed.
You are grappled as you as these as these two scribes suddenly sees you from behind
and you hear hello Cecilia.

(40:12):
Whose voice is it.
As you see a man walks in front of you from around in front of you and you see a keel.
Yeah.
This this is the one looks to the other two.
He sent to protect the moon shards.

(40:32):
Have they pulled the moon shards from my hands yet.
They're going.
They're absolutely going to.
If they haven't yet.
I'm gonna.
I'm gonna will them to activate.
Okay.
Go ahead.

(40:54):
You see as the moon shards begin to alight this man's face twists into a smirk as the
flesh begins to peel and shift and you see a man with the tattoo a cresting on his eyes

(41:16):
blackened hair and a twisted cruel look on his face.
Brandon's long distance villain.
No Brandon.
That's why he said sorry.
Brandon fuck off.

(41:40):
And as the moon goes begins to moon shards begin to glow.
Yes.
I can't wait for this.
Go ahead.
You've been doing a Brandon voice.
Okay.
So I wrote 5d100s.
Is that what it is 5d100s?
Yes.
96.
I wrote it 258.
Should I reroll one?

(42:02):
Yes.
96, 58, 34, 37, 84.
Okay.
Give me one second.
I'm going to bust out the nice table.
Okay.
I'm going to write them down too.
Okay.
One second.
This might be a horrible idea too.
Okay.
It's a 96.
You and all creatures within 30 feet of you.
Oh no.

(42:23):
Gain vulnerability to piercing damage for the next minute.
No.
Why?
No, no, no.
Why do you do these things?
That sounds horrible.
Oh my gosh.
That doesn't help us.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Next.
58.

(42:44):
For the next moment, next minute, any flammable object you touch that isn't being worn or carried
by another creature burst into flame.
Okay.
The box.
Is it the box flammable?
Oh, it's magical.
No, it's meant to be.
It's meant to have some sort of magical constitution.

(43:05):
Come on, that box has got to be flame resistant or something.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's a very nice box.
Okay.
Next number.
Okay.
Next number is 34.
34.
Maximize the damage of the next damaging spell you cast within the next minute.
Oh.
If I even get to.

(43:27):
Just guiding all these motherfuckers.
I know.
But I have to hit.
What if I do Spirit Guardians?
That guarantees.
They can counter spell me.
Okay.
Next one is 37.
37.

(43:48):
You see suddenly surrounding you in this sort of magical, in this sort of magical tempestuous
storm.
Roll a d6 for me.
Six.
Six jellyfish like creatures suddenly appear in the air with ice.

(44:09):
What?
These strange looking creatures that seem to float, they seem to all glow like sort
of like a sort of they have incandescent glow about them.
Right now it's red and have strange ice flocks.
Flumps all appear and you hear.
Oh no.

(44:29):
Oh no.
Oh no.
As they all scramble and go away because they are frightened of you.
Oh no, I thought they were going to be her ally.
They're just like.
Okay 84.
84.
Oh, oh wait.

(44:54):
Roll one d10.
Scared.
Five.
Okay, Dalmar, Jean-Claude, the both of you take five necrotic damage.
Okay.
So this is for the people.
That's a death.
Does that mean we are rolling for death saves now?

(45:15):
No, just necrotic damage.
You're unconscious, but you're not zero points unconscious.
You're not knocked out.
And I healed you a certain amount, so I know you have more than five.
So 10, 20, Charlie takes five points.
Each credit within 30 feet of you takes one d10 necrotic damage.
You gain hit points equal to the sum of the necrotic damage dealt.

(45:35):
I'm full health.
So you hear 35 hit points.
I'm full health.
Cecilia is rocking with us, baby.
I know, but like, couldn't they give you guys the health instead?
That was just bad.
Nope.
Because they hate us.
Let's go to sleep.
Is that all of it?
Huh?
Is it all the numbers?
Yeah.

(45:56):
You take a point of exhaustion.
Just one or two?
I believe it's one.
I thought it was two before, but I will gladly take one.
It's one.
I mean, you had two before.
You have two points right now.

(46:17):
No, I had one point before that.
Oh, you had one point before?
Okay, well, I ignore the first level.
Yeah, just add one.
Okay.
Also, I just realized my athletics check wouldn't have been with disadvantage because fatigue
is different in A5E, but I think I failed either way.
So a nine is, so it's too late.
Okay.

(46:38):
Now I have disadvantage on strength, dex, and con checks because the first level fatigue
in A5E is cannot sprint or dash.
As this necrotic energy is conferred and spread throughout, and you hear Charlie go, oh, as

(46:59):
the life around begins to seep into you, as a tempestuous storm calms, not the thing you
want.
Not the circumstance you want.
You see the person in front of you moves toward, knife in hand, coated in some sort of green

(47:24):
poison.
I'm now a knife.
And going to stab you with advantage.
And sadly, you do take, you are vulnerable to piercing damage.
What the fuck?

(47:45):
Natural one.
They rolled a net one.
And 24.
24.
With 24 hits.
Yeah.
Okay.
You take 14 points of piercing damage from the dagger itself and.

(48:09):
Why, Tim?
An extra 36 piercing damage.
Oh.
14 and 36.
Yeah, that's 50 total.
That'll put me unconscious.
As a knife enters into your gut.

(48:32):
What the fuck is happening?
And you feel as it pierces into you, you feel the strength leave your legs.
You see the, you see the twisted smile of the man in front of you.
He goes.

(48:54):
Thank you for making it so easy for me.
As he grabs a fistful of your hair, as your consciousness begins to leave.
And he just goes.
You didn't have to do this.

(49:18):
But I think they can consider it a nice bonus.
And the last thing you see before everything fades to black, as he pulls the knife out
and he goes into stab again.
You see the approaching figure of Dan LaRan.
As he was sword raised.

(49:43):
And the clang of metal.
As you go unconscious.
Saved my life.
I think Dan's gonna, gonna maybe whoop this dude's ass.
I'm worried about Dan.
I'm not.
I'm not.
I mean.
Worry about your moon charts that just got stolen.
Again.

(50:03):
I know.
Well not again.
Nobody's taking them from me except for Sir Aldemore.
Fuck you Sir Aldemore.
I know.
Sean Claude.

(50:26):
Yeah.
Dalmar.
Give me a wisdom saving throw.
Is it because we were with the spider?
Why?
That is an 11.
Why do this?

(50:47):
I'm going to assume I failed.
I'm going to assume I failed.
Or was it?
I will use my last point of inspiration then.
It's now or never baby.
Yeah that's a seven.
Oh.

(51:09):
Jean Claude.
Yeah.
A sudden breath fills your lungs.
You felt a hand pull you through.
Pull you out of whatever.
This is as this you finally come out of your stup- as you finally come out of your stupor.

(51:33):
You look around and see that it's light.
You see.
You see the.
You see the sun come through the window.
What it can.
What it can.
Anyway.
As the sun is trying to burst through the dreary clouds that hang overhead.

(51:57):
It's not red anymore.
It's not night.
Fuck yeah.
You look around and you see Dalmar on the ground sleeping.
Directly outside the door.
You see a prone Cecilia in a pool of blood.

(52:24):
Nope.
Launching to my feet and running.
You rush over to Cecilia.
You see.
You see on her stomach.
A.
She's in a pool of blood but she's but someone put a bandage around the bandage around her

(52:46):
around around around the wound that she had but she's she's completely unconscious and
stabilized.
Would I notice there's something off about this blade?
A blade hasn't been left behind.

(53:08):
Oh okay.
She's got an open wound.
Yeah it's been bandaged up.
Oh it's been bandaged up.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm confused.
Then he'll cast cure wounds.

(53:32):
Cast cure wounds and Cecilia you come awake.
Burning in your veins.
Hey what the fuck happened?
She's just clearly very much in pain.

(53:54):
Okay easy easy.
Are we still in the same place?
You're still in the same place.
The scribes and Daneland have disappeared.
You no longer have the moon shards.

(54:15):
I um are you okay?
I couldn't get you to wake up.
Oh yeah I'm okay but what happened to your tummy?
Um I was stabbed um.

(54:38):
By the spy there?
It must have been Sharins.
Where?
Daneland was attacked too.
Daneland was here.
Oh fuck that guy.
I think he I think he saved me.
I don't I don't know.
I I try to the moon shards are in the box that I can sense.

(55:02):
Can I try to sense their location?
You can.
They're far.
Well you can sense them.
It's a it's a pulse.
It's a ping in your mind.
They are miles away.
They're going north.

(55:29):
She just.
They took they took the moon shards.
They're really far away I can tell.
Um.
Ow.
Just not.
Okay.
Hey easy easy.
We'll get them back.

(55:59):
What's wrong?
I mean I mean I mean what's what's not wrong?
I I think we all just nearly died.

(56:22):
And yet here we are.
And they have the moon shards.
It was this.
This man.
He looked like he was from Rexxon but he wasn't.

(56:45):
His face shifted.
It changed.
Hmm.
Here's who I would punch in the teeth first.
I think.
Go ahead.
No you first.
He's gonna put his hand on his shoulder her shoulder.

(57:17):
Cecilia.
This is our duty.
We did not sign up for this thinking it would be easy.
We would get them back together.

(57:41):
Timmy did you say I noticed that the blade was poisoned?
It was covered in a green.
Yeah.
Do I feel like I'm gonna die?
Whatever had happened it you feel the burning of it.

(58:02):
It hurts like a bitch.
But as of right now you feel pretty stabilized and that whatever the worst effects of the
poison has passed.
She's just trying to recollect some of her senses.

(58:27):
The Dalmar.
Yeah he's sleeping I'm gonna go wake him up.
Hold on.
You hear a cough down the hall.
As you as you as you as you look and you see the his body looks very frail.

(58:55):
He hasn't eaten in probably a very long time being tied underneath that light.
As you see Arxon cough coming to coming to consciousness.

(59:20):
Where he's laying he's in front of the door to like the to his inner sanctum.
He looks up to see the sunlight coming through.
He goes you all did it.
Yeah where's where's Dalmar?

(59:43):
I'm going to wake him up he was napping.
Hold on.
Let's try it over.
All right Dalmar up we go.
You slap him.
I think he goes to and then he remembers that this hasn't been well received.
The past times that he's done it.

(01:00:06):
So instead of his he gets ready and goes no no no and he'll gently come in taps on the
face come wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up.
And you hear you hear from the bag of holding.
Hold up let me at him.
Ephesus now it's not the time to bite him.

(01:00:28):
Put me next to his fucking ear.
No.
I pull his beard.
That is enough to at least get him to stir.
And you see what is left of a metal arm try to swing at your face in a reaction.
Oh shit.

(01:00:49):
Make an attack roll.
Can it be with disadvantage since like half his arm is gone again after that fucking spider.
With disadvantage.
But also it's a surprise so we cancel out the disadvantage with advantage.
I can't be surprised.
Okay it's disadvantage.

(01:01:12):
So many rules for this.
Because I'm alert.
Yeah that's not gonna hit.
You gonna miss pretty easily.
He swing.
You feel the arm quickly swing at you as you kind of like back away quickly.

(01:01:33):
Oh I could have slapped you what the fuck.
And Dalmar your involuntary reaction causes you to stir.
We.
Are we back.

(01:01:58):
Looks like it's better.
Since shards are gone so we got to get up and get going come on.
Oxen is.
Did he come to.
Yeah he's fine he just needs a snack.
He's over there.

(01:02:22):
Cecilia is her tummy's bleeding out she got stabbed.
I don't know when the fact that happened.
So what do you call them challenge.
Those are the ones that were like the weird misery goddess of misery.

(01:02:42):
Right.
She's my goddess's sister.
What I fucking know that.
But they don't get along obviously.
Why did he's yelling he's yelling at her down the hall.
Why did we get dragged into the family drama.
This time a bunch of knacks.

(01:03:04):
Valmar is trying to get you to stop yelling in his ear.
And he lands one on you this time.
I'm with the fight.

(01:03:26):
You see Damar.
Struggle to get up.
Trying to balance with his one good arm.
Realizing that his metal prosthetic is broken and in half.
And he will start limping down the hall using his pickaxe as a walking stick to go and find

(01:03:51):
his best friend.
You walk eyes with him.
He's sat against the wall.
Obviously frail.
But his eyes are open.
And he sees you.
And there's a smile on his face.

(01:04:13):
He goes.
Thanks for not.
Killing me.
Thanks for not giving up.
Your arm.

(01:04:36):
I guess that's the best stress test I could ask for.
Yes you'll be owing me a new one.

(01:05:08):
And he just starts beatboxing.
I was going to say Charlie now is not the time to beatbox.
You beatbox later.
Technical difficulties.
There we go.
Everything in the season finale.
Emotions.

(01:05:29):
Technical difficulties.
And beatboxing baby.
You hear.
One of the many deaths I owe you.
Coming down the door.
You see.
You hear.
Here they are.

(01:05:50):
As Charlie rolls on through the door.
And you see multiple falling behind them.
You see Luan.
Who goes.
Hodel.
And boss.
And she's going to.

(01:06:11):
She tries to run into you and hug you.
But you're just so strong and she's so weak that you just stand completely still as an
entire force just runs into you.
And she hugs you.
Oh my god.
And behind her are multiple scribes.
Dalmar you recognize these.
These are the scribes of the.
The scribes of the library here.

(01:06:35):
And you see.
You see as they walk in.
Surveillance situation.
One of them.
Cecilia the one you saw you saw before who had run into here to inform Akil about the
about the people appearing.
He just goes.
Where's Akil.
Where's Akil.
And Dalmar you do know Akil was the head of the scribes.

(01:07:05):
Can I insight check him.
Because now I'm like I'm like OK well if they were all bad what if they're not real.
Go ahead insight check.
Yeah because Cecilia didn't say they were scribes she said just shariens.
Yeah because she didn't know for sure that they were scribes.

(01:07:25):
Well the 19.
The man's man's reaction is genuine.
He is.
He has a genuine question and he's confused.
Where is Akil.
He infiltrated the scribes.
I shake my head and I go.

(01:07:49):
He wasn't.
Him.
It was someone.
Disguised as him.
What.
He introduced himself to me as Akil but he's the one who his face shifted to someone else
and then he.

(01:08:10):
Charlie Charlie goes.
To my knowledge from what I saw afterwards.
First of all I'm really glad you're OK.
I want to go get help as soon as possible.
Thank you.
After the man's after the man stabbed you.

(01:08:33):
The two says him and the swordsman fought for a little bit.
The swordsman gave the upper hand.
Because from my from my knowledge the man who stabbed you he was a changeling.
From what I heard they called him vain.

(01:08:55):
What's.
What happened to the to the man who was fighting him.
Do you know.
Well.
Afterwards they took the box you had.
The man who who fought him.

(01:09:18):
The man who fought him.
And the three the three the three people who were the same who's wearing the same uniform
as you all of you.
They took the box from him and left.
And the man took the time to.
Wrap bandages around you.

(01:09:38):
And told me to go get help.
Did he leave with fame too or what happened to him.
They left before him.
But he left too after he after he told me.
They must be different.

(01:10:12):
And you see the scribe you see the scribe go.
Right.
Some of you try to go look for the head.
Thanks.
Some says some of you stay here we need to help.
We need to help these.
We need to help these lot.
We're gonna just we're gonna take you to a place where we can get you healed up and look

(01:10:35):
over you.
The House of Waffles has all the medical supplies.
No no no no no no we we have to we don't have time.
We have to go.
He looks at Cecilia because the last thing she said is there the moon shards are far
away.
She she nods slowly not feeling good but she agrees is the thing and so she goes to get

(01:10:59):
herself up.
You know you come to move and pull yourself up but your legs fail you in this moment.
What the fuck happened kiddo and he's going to walk over and if she let him help pick
her up.
She does.
As you picked up Cecilia you can feel and John Claude you can see this pure physical

(01:11:22):
exhaustion throughout her body throughout her entire throughout her body.
You have been she has been absolutely spent through this journey and Cecilia what does
not help was that poison was probably a paralytic poison that it entered directly in that entered
directly into you is remnants of it is still around and you feel your strength like absolutely

(01:11:46):
waned and in your mind you feel the you feel the moon shards go away faster and faster
from you at a pace that you believe you just absolutely cannot keep up with at this moment.
She just you pick her up.

(01:12:08):
She just starts to cry.
Oh no.
He was not expecting this and you know as he goes what's happened kiddo.
Oh no sweetheart no no no and you see like he just like you know pushes her hair away
lifts up her like he's got one arm you know her in one arm and he pushes up her glasses

(01:12:31):
and you know uses the sleeve to like wipe her tears.
It's like it's okay it's all right you're okay you're okay.
She doesn't want to cry so she's like you know oh when he sees her like if she's like

(01:12:54):
trying to hide it he'll go look away to everyone saying don't you fucking look over here turn
around.
People legitimately are being respectful and Dalmar you're being hugged by Luanne.
Luanne had already started crying and she just goes I never should have been in path.

(01:13:19):
I miss pork.
You have sacrificed you have exerted yourself beyond belief you had successfully tame the

(01:13:52):
moon shards using your own force of will alone and you being the chosen one at least in your
own mind for these and in that moment you should have proven yourself but you weren't
even allowed to wallow in the victory for a moment.
She does.

(01:14:13):
I don't know what we're going to do.
He still holding her arm he goes.
I never know what I'm going to do.
And how exciting it will be to figure that out.

(01:14:37):
You just need some rest.
If I can say something for you both here those who have come back myself included we owe

(01:15:00):
you a great deal of thanks.
If you are going to stick around and rest then please allow us to at least give you
the recognition you have earned for helping us here.
Just no palates.

(01:15:25):
No palate bots.
No thank you.
And I'll turn to the scribe and ask him do you have a list of those who have reappeared

(01:15:45):
those who you have found anything like that.
That's everything's happening so fast.
We're going to but we're still scrambling things together.
Do you know if Captain Lee has come back.
We found him on a horse in town.

(01:16:11):
He's here.
Good.
He's at the house of waffles right now.
I'm not fucking going to the fucking house.
You are.
Unfortunately you are.

(01:16:32):
We don't have many clerics on hand right now.
The house of waffles has immaculate health code and they keep up to date on their medical
supplies.
One last question do you know if any of the directors have been found.

(01:16:59):
Mr. LaFaire is within her office right now.
She's been she's been overseeing the recovery effort the past the past week.

(01:17:27):
I see.
Charlie goes I picked up your tone.
He says you said overseeing in that kind of way.
She hasn't been helping much has she.

(01:17:50):
This guy doesn't say anything.
If I can make a request please lead my two friends here motioning to Jean Claude and
Cecilia lead them and the Archmage to the house of waffles and I personally shall bring

(01:18:15):
the director because there needs to be a meeting so that we can get rescue efforts organized.
Looks at the Archmage and gives a nod to follow your command.

(01:18:40):
And he just goes all right come on.
And you see this as a scribe kneel next to the Archmage and help him up.
They hear them go I have you back sir.
Markson looks at you down more and he has a you see a little half smirk on his face

(01:19:11):
he goes talk to you later.
And as he walks as he's as he's hopped away make a perception check for me.

(01:19:33):
Passive is 13.
I will check that's a five.
Okay.
Yeah you are the scribes come over to use Cecilia and Jean Claude.

(01:19:54):
And he just goes do you need do you need assistance walking.
He's got her in his arms he goes oh I'm I'm good like when they come closer he kind of
goes here puts a hand on you and you feel all of a sudden very much stronger as they

(01:20:19):
cast enhance ability on you and you are more confidently carrying Cecilia in your arms.
He blinks in for bulk because he can lift large objects.
Now you live gargantuan.
He's like I don't think they under he's going to assume they haven't met anyone of his kind.

(01:20:40):
So he just goes thank you.
You have double the carrying carrying capacity now because of the spell.
So whatever you had as a building now it's double.
I can literally carry a fucking building because he's allowed to carry a large.
Thank you.
Because they wanted to help so he's like and he'll even put on a show be like oh wow.

(01:21:05):
You can probably you can probably throw Cecilia like a football right now if you so wish.
I have a feeling this is not the time.
You know just just a feeling there's just a vibe that tracking her like a football is
not the vibe.

(01:21:25):
There's a there's an obvious end like goal for to like throw her across.
So with enhanced ability and now he can lift up fucking mountains.
He'll he'll say to the scribes and what did you see any mechanical large contraptions

(01:21:56):
of so come through.
Well in the past few the past week no but then they all started showing up around town
but all of them are all of them are decommissioned well except for Charlie.

(01:22:18):
So there wasn't one that looked like a spider spider.
That we know of.
Why so you decommissioned all of them.
They've all well they've all disappeared and they've come they're coming back now but they're

(01:22:39):
all as they're leading you out into like the ambit as he's in the middle of making this
point you hear a loud crash as all of a sudden breathe the parade of master bot.
Shows up he's already deactivated the way you left him Jean Claude as he just fuck you
peers in the middle of the building and everybody jumps.

(01:23:03):
The parade the parade but yeah no no no you live you let him nap you let him stay down
he stays down there's actually a lot of large piles of them if they start coming through
so it might not actually be safe to be in the city.
I don't know if you'd get crushed by piles of dead automatons.

(01:23:25):
Oh wait does that mean Kef four came through too.
Oh hopefully.
I want to try to go find him so I can bring him back up.
I need to get the horses too.
Where the fuck is everything.
Where and where is Augustus.

(01:23:46):
Your wagon and all that's probably outside the city still.
Where's Augustus.
Cecilia Jean Claude you go through the town you see the effort you see people with like
blankets over them people being people being helped around you see guards.

(01:24:08):
Who apparently weren't who apparently weren't even like who didn't get shifted to the other
place maneuvering helping people.
The effort here isn't wide scaled but it's it's organized and people are doing their
best.

(01:24:29):
You hear clapping in a distance as you see Captain Lee on his horse kind of like meandering
down a meandering down like a pathway he's pretty big he's pretty banged up his spear
is broken he's holding the front end of a spear.

(01:24:51):
And he he sees you he sees you all the other guard members are like surrounding him and
people are asking what happened.
He just gives you a nod both of you a nod.
As there's too much business happening between the both of you where he can't like just approach

(01:25:12):
you but he just gives you acknowledgement.
And you can see his eyes that he almost can't believe it that you're all back.
You are led to the House of Waffles where you see triad is it's always bad because I

(01:25:34):
always want to laugh when I say it.
It sticks out so much.
As you go over to the House of Waffles the House of Hope the House of Waffles.
If anyone monologues at me I swear to any fucking God I will smash them now.
They can't be in character during like a crisis right.

(01:25:56):
Oh but they're actors they can.
Hark if you need medical assistance please come hither yonder thee.
Fuck me.
I love you man but no.
As you will definitely their thing.

(01:26:17):
As the guy he the guy doing the character he's dressed in like he's he's just in scrubs
he's just he's just keeping everybody's spirits up because people are just being helped.
And you smell delicious bacon and waffles being cooked being cooked from inside the

(01:26:39):
building.
The two of you are amongst a sea of people you're placed on these House House of Waffles
branded like little medical beds and you're looked you're looked over by scribes for a
moment.
He glares.
He's like what do you want.

(01:27:08):
Product placement.
If song will be if song will be sponsored by Waffle House it would be the best.
That would be a day.
It would be crazy.
It'd be the craziest session.
Listen we're already trying to get NASA on the map why not add Waffle House.

(01:27:31):
You guys are healed 20 hit points and gotten to a good point.
And in this moment the two of you can speak to each other if you wish as you're left alone
and feeling better than before but you still have your levels of exhaustion.

(01:27:54):
She's been thinking while people worked and you might see her.
She reaches for her holy symbol.
She's going to cast a spell.
You might recognize now as sending.

(01:28:14):
He will turn away because he knows it's like a phone call.
And she casts sending she's going to try don't know if it'll work.
She casts sending to the moon shard she just rescued.
I don't know if it'll work.

(01:28:37):
What do you say.
She says that's a creature doesn't have to be a humanoid so maybe but she goes.
I'm sorry.
I'm coming to get you help help don't help help.
Can you finish the message can't it cuts you off.

(01:28:58):
No a swarm of voices just immediately into your mind.
Mother mother.
Help weird.
That's weird.
They're calling.
They're not you have a family calling at the saloon as mother.
Oh OK OK I was like I was like OK that's weird guys.

(01:29:21):
I was going to try to tell them to not behave for them.
But I'm guessing they already are.
She's going to try with our last level.
She's going to try to after hearing that she's going to try to really fast.

(01:29:44):
Try to just convey that don't behave for your captors.
That's all she's trying to get across as fast as she possibly can.
And another third level spell slot.
Die die die kill.
That's it.
That's very very small.
Oh gosh.
This might be horrible.
Did she say die die die kill.

(01:30:05):
Very small whispers you hear.
Yeah.
It's one voice.
It's the voice of the one you tamed.
This might not be a good idea but she just.
It's like fight back fight back fight back.
I know they're strong.
I know they're strong.
Fight back.

(01:30:25):
This might not be good.
I wanted to use my second spell slot to message Delmyra but I can't.
So.
So she.
Leaves it there.
Puts away the copper wire that the spell uses.

(01:30:50):
As you get as you're ready to just get away from that you hear another sending come out
to you.
You hear.
Cecilia.
You need an update on your you okay.
And that's Creed right.
That's Creed.
She says.

(01:31:13):
She says.
I'm okay.
I tamed the moon shard.
But I lost it.
All of them.
They left.

(01:31:33):
North.
I'm okay.
Last spell slot.
Everyone's fine over here.

(01:31:56):
Heal up.
We'll.
We're gonna talk about things over here.
We'll update you soon.
She responds.
It's a changeling named Vane.

(01:32:22):
Took them first.
Dan Loran.
Everyone knows him.
Got them.
And saved me I think.
But that's all she can say.

(01:32:46):
And that's it.
And then you're left with the commotion around you as more people are being brought in to
be helped.
And Jean Claude.
Next to you.
She goes.

(01:33:07):
Delmira is okay.
They were attacked too.
How did they know.

(01:33:29):
Well you well.
I mean.
Kari.
Maybe.
I don't know if this Vane person.

(01:33:52):
Must not be affiliated with them.
I thought he was but Dan Loran attacked him.
I can only assume.
Dan Loran's the one who has them now.
And Kari.
Shapeshifter will definitely bring about some trust issues in the near future.

(01:34:22):
That being said.
He looks out at the to the sky outside where it's no longer red.
Where were we.
What was that.

(01:34:44):
I thought.
I thought the sky had changed but.
I think we were in another.
World.
There is another plane.
But I don't know which one.

(01:35:07):
I do not.
It did not feel fair to me.
When I was there.
It was a little different.
I don't know.
What it could have been.

(01:35:29):
Thaddeus didn't know either.
Someone who told me it was another plane.
Thaddeus doesn't know that's a lot.
Atheus and he'll say to the bag.
Take him out.

(01:35:50):
It's okay.
Atheus is.
I can't find him in there very easily.
It's okay.
I honestly I don't think he likes the actors either and I don't blame him.
Over here.
Oh no there he is.
Get bigger hands.
Atheus.
When we first got to the.

(01:36:13):
I guess it's another plane.
You were different.
It felt like I've been there before.
Can you remember any other planes that you have traveled to.

(01:36:33):
You have been trying.
But this one where the.
The sky was red.
It's where.
What happened.
I don't know.
But all I remember is terrible terrible things.

(01:36:56):
You were fighting something.
I saw it in a vision.
And.
I think you were a woman.

(01:37:19):
Long pause.
If he's inanimate for a second.
He can't blink so you can't really tell if he's like currently active at the moment.
And he just goes.

(01:37:42):
Is everyone okay.
Yeah.
No.
At that place.
In the dynasty.
So many gargoyles attacked that night.

(01:38:05):
In the late Levoilier dynasty.
Yes.
It was in the desert.
That's what I saw in the gargoyles.
But.
I didn't see much more than that.
Shall you saw her there.

(01:38:28):
I don't know why I can't remember.
Maybe a curse.
I don't want you to remember.
You reacted to the book to the book.
I'm sure.
Yeah.
You did not like it.
Remember.

(01:38:51):
She took everything from me.
A feminine voice suddenly whispers.
From aphiis.
It doesn't move when that voice comes out.
Jean Claude.
Side-eyed Cecilia.

(01:39:11):
And says softly.
What did she take from you?
Make a perception check.

(01:39:32):
Because this answer comes out so low.
So quietly.
Both of you make a perception.
My passive 22 help.
Never mind.
Okay.
Don't worry about it.
Don't make.
Of course.
I'm the silly one here.
I'm Cecilia.

(01:39:55):
You hear.
Everything I am and everything I was going to be.
The curses.
And then it goes quiet.
I'm sorry.
Sorry about what?

(01:40:16):
Yeah.
Sorry about what?
Did you realize what you were saying?
No.
I need to jog my memory.
Everything's coming so close.

(01:40:38):
But I feel like I'm unlocking things in my mind.
Can multiple souls.
He opens his mouth and you see a firewall begin to form in his mouth.
What are you doing?

(01:40:58):
And it stops.
He just goes, I can feel it.
My Lich powers coming back to me.
Not here.
Not here.
No, okay, if he is stupid.
I was going to ask you, can multiple souls be bound in a leech?

(01:41:25):
There's only one dominant soul, but in a phylactery.
Don't, don't, don't alphamel me.
I'm gonna get, I'm gonna alphamel the shit out of you, boy.
Don't alphamel me.
I'm gonna do it.
No.
Get educated, the phylactery can have multiple souls inside of it, yes.
Ah, the pterodactyl.

(01:41:50):
The fuck did you say?
That's what you just said.
No, say it again.
But I don't have to.
Read my lips.
Because you know what I meant.
You don't have lips.
Minion?
I just, I just, I just wanted to make sure you noticed.

(01:42:11):
I think it has lightning bolt too.
And polymorph.
Oh, it's all coming back.
Well, not all of it.
It's very small, but I can still do a lot with it.
What were you saying about the phylactery?

(01:42:32):
Just, a phylactery can have multiple souls in it, but a leech.
A leech would be a grand fool to have multiples, to have those souls spool on over to the, into the controlling chair.
What a very foolish thing to do.
What if they were desperate?

(01:42:55):
Not even the most desperate leeches would do that.
I think, I think, you know the guys, the meme of the little puppet monkey that does the side eye, the gif.
He's just, he's just doing that the whole time.
Big minion.

(01:43:17):
Lift me higher.
Hey.
He lifted him up.
We're just in the house of the waffle with this skull.
With fucking stunking skull.
Some people do kind of look over, but you know, like, everyone's coping.
Listen, nothing is, nothing is going to bug House of Waffles employees.
They're just going to think it's part of the freaking, like a froth.
Yeah, they're going to think it's like, oh look, they're practicing their scene.

(01:43:41):
As you see a guy comes over, he has black hair, he's wearing like a wolf cloak over his shoulders.
No!
And he just goes, hey, respect the hustle, my name's John Doe, here, here's some meal.
And he, we're passing these out, and he gives you their, their grand cram.

(01:44:08):
Meal.
John Doe.
Don't write that down!
Is it a meal? But also now you're still dealing with this.
Okay.

(01:44:29):
All right.
Okay.
All right.
So.
Well.
The nice thing is that, moving forward,
we will not be the ones being chased.

(01:44:52):
Instead it will be reverse.
I don't even know what they want with them.
Probably something pretty fucked up, given how they tried to kill you.
And me.
I...
Um.

(01:45:13):
I thought, since they're alive, um, maybe it would be possible for me to send them a message.
And I did.
And they're terrified.
Not, I mean, obviously that, that, she doesn't want anyone to hear, so she's like, the, the shard.

(01:45:36):
Oh.
The shards.
Did you tell them?
And he's like trying to...
Did you tell them we were going to come get them?
I did, but I'm not sure they heard, but I wanted to tell them,
because clearly they have their own power on their own.
I had to, I don't know if you could tell what was happening when I took the one.

(01:45:58):
No, I just snap dunked that shit.
It was like a kid playing with toys with memories from everyone.
He was talking about having fun.
Ooh.
Wanted to see his siblings again.
I don't like that.
So they clearly have power on their own, because that, they, that moonshine did it just for fun.

(01:46:22):
And so I told them, I sent another message, and I told it to fight back against its captors.
And maybe that's a horrible idea, but also maybe it wasn't.
So I...

(01:46:43):
It is an idea that was done.
I'm not enthused to hear that they play with people's memories like toys.
Before I came to, I had a flood of ones that weren't mine.
So...

(01:47:07):
Yeah, I don't, I don't...
I wasn't a fan of that.
But you can always, we can message them again, right?
You've done it once, we can do it again.
And you have that spell on the box, right?

(01:47:29):
That's how I know where they are.
So we will know where and how to get there.
And we are aware, currently, of our enemy.
Which is more to say, when we first started we had no clue.
Now we know we're dealing with some sister drama that we've been dragged into.

(01:47:55):
It's a little more complicated.
I don't know if I just call it drama.
I don't know, I really don't.
In case you haven't noticed, gods bag me.
So I see it as family drama that we get dragged into.
Shar just wants like eternal night and darkness and secrets and pain and stuff.

(01:48:22):
And so...
Um...
So she's like that emo girl.
But not like the cool ones.
Not like, you know, the cool ones with the thigh boots and stuff.
Yeah, I don't think it's very cool.
What are you talking about?
So I'm just like...

(01:48:43):
I'm trying to rationalize this thing, this entity, and I don't get it.
Either way, we have to go get them.
Don't put thigh boots on it.
Have you seen?
Have you seen gods got thigh boots?
They are quite spectacular.
I will judge.
I've never met anyone who wears them personally.

(01:49:05):
Oh, back in my day.
Ahem.
I mean, it's a very current fashion trend.
Put me back in the bag.
Okay.
I...
Well, yes.

(01:49:27):
Her followers, though, have attacked Delmyr before.
Oh, they're fucking awful.
I can't stand that one bitch.
What was her name?
Kari?
Ah!
Yeah, no.
Whoever they are, we will take care of them.
And they have the moonshirts, and we are supposed to get them to the other side of the continent.
That is our mission.
That is our...

(01:49:49):
That is what we have to do, so that is what we're going to do.
I told the moonshirts I'd get them.
Good.
We are going.
That's what we're going to do.
Before, when I was consoling the first one, I...

(01:50:15):
I promised it I'd show it the world a bit and stuff, kind of.
It was, you know, I was trying to...
It was very temperamental, so I just...
Mm-hmm.
It's that I felt like it's mom.

(01:50:37):
Probably because I'm a follower.
It's been strange, but...
Just out of curiosity, Timmy, ever since they've switched to kill-die mode, have I noticed them moving with less progress?
Yes.
At some point, it's completely stopped.

(01:50:59):
But...
She...
It was for a long while, but now they're moving again.
Okay.
Darn.
When she says, it's probably because I'm a follower of Shar.
Shonkla's going to, like...
Saloon.
What?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Saloon, right?
Not Shar.
LOL.
That would be a plot twist.

(01:51:20):
He's going to lean down and, like, look into her face and just, like, scan her features, look all around her.
And go.
Is this area?
If you were a god in disguise, would you tell me?
What?

(01:51:43):
If you were saloon in disguise, would you tell me?
If I were saloon in disguise, I hope we wouldn't be in this mess.
He's eyes narrow as he gets closer.
I...
Are you joking?

(01:52:08):
Never mind.
Did you actually think I...
That...
No, no, no.
Stand up and go.
It was a theory!
It was a theory.
You're just special is all I'm saying, so...

(01:52:33):
I'm not really, just...
USUL.
I mean, my sister...
I'm never wrong.
I... um...
This one time I'm not wrong.
I mean, everyone...
And I guess in an everyone special in their own way kind of way, but...

(01:52:57):
I'm saying you're special.
There's something up with you, kiddo.
So I'm trying to figure out what the connection is.
As Jean-Claude shakes Cecilia and Ashley, he doesn't do that.
As the interrogation continues, we do have to go over to Dalmar.

(01:53:21):
As Jean-Claude is getting to the bottom of it.
Or so he thinks.
Oh boy.
Jenny, she's onto us.
I can't believe Emma called that.
It's a sound theory, Emma.
It's a sound theory, Emma!
I can never leave this room.
I'm thinking about what?

(01:53:42):
Whatever she says.
Dalmar.
You are brought over to the Director of Civil Prosperity's office.
Oh, shit.
Ow.
Like that.
That's what's gonna happen.

(01:54:03):
And as you are brought there, the scribe knocks on the door.
And she just goes, speak.
And he goes, one of the people who appear, they want to speak with you.

(01:54:28):
Let them in.
And as the door opens, the two of you trade looks.
Dalmar, you are ragged, tired.
Mr. LeFaire is as immaculate and clean as she was the day of the parade.
And as she sees you, there's a look of surprise.

(01:54:52):
And she just goes, the enderling.
I suppose you and the Archmage do come in a pair.
And I suppose you're back to your normal tricks of doing absolutely fucking nothing.

(01:55:19):
Get her.
I see you're still as uncouth as ever.
Is that what you came to speak with me about?
To sling slang at me?
Sling slang?

(01:55:40):
That's not why I came here.
Can you send the Archmage instead?
I'm sure he invested some message into you, but I'd rather hear it from him.
He is in no condition to deal with your antics at this moment.

(01:56:05):
So did you come here to believe like an animal?
What are you saying?
Lucky for you, today's the day you actually live up to your job title.
You're coming with me.
And together, we're going to start rebuilding.
If you don't, I will drag you down like the dog you are and force you to do it.

(01:56:34):
Make an intimidation check.
Jesus.
That is a net 20.
Holy fuck!
You're 27.
Whoa!
Finally, checked!
What did you...
How...
How dare you?

(01:57:01):
He's giving her a look as if he's just egging her to try and say something more.
Of course.
Being the director of civil prosperity,
the repairs would certainly be within my...

(01:57:28):
my vision.
I suppose I can redouble a few of the already ongoing efforts.

(01:57:51):
Bit like...
I know you were the first ones to run when the attack started.
I know there's a reason why you looked the exact same you did on that day.

(01:58:12):
So now, you're going to get your precious clothes and your hands dirty.
I'm sorry, I'm relieving you of your position.
You can't do that.
You have no authority.
You're just an underling.
A pickaxe flies by the side of her face, embedding in the wall behind her.

(01:58:36):
Then try and stop me.
Hey, yo.
Are you going to walk, or am I going to have to drag you through the city?

(01:59:00):
She's in absolute fear.
And then she just...
takes a step forward.
And then the scribe that you were with just goes...
God, he was still there.

(01:59:22):
You see, you can feel it, just a satisfaction.
The scribe goes, we can bring you... we can direct you where to go.
House of Office.

(01:59:43):
And he just goes... the scribe goes, with venom.
La Faire.
No longer calling her the director.
Hey, yo.
Can I see if she's got financial records or anything hidden in her desk?
Because I've got a feeling she's not been good in her job.

(02:00:08):
Once you go over towards her desk, she just goes, no, no.
You're not allowed to look through those.
I don't believe you have that authority anymore, La Faire.

(02:00:30):
Don't do it.
My personal issue is with you.
But the entire city has an issue with the directors.
So if there's something you're hiding...

(02:00:56):
I'm afraid it's not going to end well.
She turns...
and then Misty Steps becomes Mist.
Coward!
You see the scribe look around, and he just goes, shit, and just runs off to go chase.

(02:01:31):
And then you hear the scribe go, stop her!
And then as you hear...
Misty Steps only goes 30 feet.
You hear Misty La Faire about the verbal components.

(02:01:53):
She's speaking it.
And then you hear an even louder verbal component from Luanne.
Get her a spell!
Get her!
He's going to grab whatever financial records are there that obviously show multiple kinds of fraud and misuse and just general...

(02:02:15):
Assholery by the directors.
Just multiple purchases.
A Bengal tiger rug.
Freaking stuffed flumps.

(02:02:38):
10 of those.
No, that's horrible.
There's a thing called an elder spirit stag, which you know from Luanne talking about them.
Very endangered animals that stick close to places of prosperity.

(02:03:01):
Yeah, she's got a stuffed head of it.
There are multiple transactions with one of...what's this goddamn name?
This is important for Emma in another game.
Let me go get that real quick.

(02:03:23):
I'm sorry, what?
Oh, is it going to be...what?
What did he say?
What?
Patience.
You guys talk about something while I go get this note really far back.
What was the preface?
She said there's a tiger rug and then random dude?

(02:03:46):
These purchases and something with fraud.
Misuse of government money.
It might be something related to Warforged as my thought process.
That's aura.
Dennis has no idea what to do with money.
It's a name that says Avelius Lavola.

(02:04:12):
Like the Lavalum dynasty?
You know him.
That's a very recognizable name.
One of the heads of the Lavalum dynasty family.
Why do I need to know?
He is marked as...he's infamous because he has the...he has a...he's a rather large tiefling.

(02:04:36):
Old now.
And he's marked because he has a very recognizable mark.
He has one of his horns that grow in a spiral and it has pierced into his own eye.
It's grown so far that it's pierced into its own eye it's unable to be shaven down.
Yes.

(02:04:57):
That's familiar.
You've said that before haven't you Tim?
Yes.
I haven't met him in a game but I've heard of him.
But I can't remember which character heard it.
I know he's related to Color of Time for sure but...
That sounds...oh shit.
We'll talk about it.
I remember the spiral thing. I remember that.

(02:05:20):
I just can't remember which character.
I will...lean her desk of all of these records.
One more.
Oh boy.
A slip falls out of one of the books.
150,000 gold pieces and a keep within the Salarian Empire, Lava La Silevren, and Atticus.

(02:05:59):
Four different nations for the delivery of the Archmages moonshine.
Whoa!
You see why she ran?

(02:06:25):
To quote a certain Brennan Lee Mogan...
It stinks from top to bottom gang.
Well that's definitely enough to get her in trouble.
And enough to put the entirety of the directors behind bars.
Because if one of them was that corrupt, then the others weren't doing anything to stop her.

(02:06:48):
So was all of this her fault because she messed with the moonshard and then this happened?
What did she try to do? She tried to steal it.
She tried to steal it and then it reacted by bringing it to the moonshards jump to a different dimension to keep themselves safe?
This one was particularly playful.

(02:07:12):
Who knows?
Yeah, well they need to stop playing.
He is going to take these records, leave her office, see her lying on the floor after being counterspelled and it's like...
Is she connected to Vayne?
Was she doing that for Vayne?
And let him get into the organization to try to...

(02:07:38):
Because he's not a Sharan potentially.
You have chosen to be dragged through town, I see.
You don't know what you're getting into.
No, I don't.
But I don't give a damn.

(02:08:00):
You have hurt so many people.
Ruined so many lives.
I don't care.
What I'm going to set off.
But right now all I care about is ruining yours.

(02:08:25):
You've given me everything I need to do just that.
So why not rub it in?
He is going to not gently grab her by the hair and start walking.
She got counterspelled.

(02:08:47):
Oh.
And start walking towards the House of Waffles.
She screams as she is dragged through the square towards the House of Waffles in Jean Claude.
In the middle of like...

(02:09:08):
This...
That's just what it is.
That's got to be it.
You hear screaming in the distance.
People are put on alert.
And you see multiple other people begin to go gather to go see what it is.
Come on!
And he'll just charge out.
She gets up.

(02:09:31):
You stay there!
You stay there!
She still tries to.
I do not make me command you!
You cannot...
I'm fine.
Sit.
It's fine.
Sit.
I'll be a pecsik and he'll pick her up.
And bring her with him.

(02:09:55):
Enhanceability is still on.
Easy.
Yet again, with Enhanceability he can't pick up a building at this point.
Thank goodness for the tall ceilings in the House of Waffles.
Punches a hole in it.
The construction is sound.
Fuck!

(02:10:17):
You all head out to see Dalmar.
Dragging a pink haired air genasi.
And you hear the woman screaming,
Help! Someone help me!
He's gone crazy!
What are you doing?
Dalmar?

(02:10:45):
He throws her in front of him.
Whoa!
Throws his pickaxe into the hem of her robe to keep her from moving.

(02:11:09):
The directors, and specifically the Director of Civil Prosperity, Mr. Leflair, have been removed from duty.
Their actions, their misdeeds, are the sole cause for this tragedy.

(02:11:35):
And he holds up the records, motions for, I'm assuming Lee's in the crowd somewhere?
Yes.
Motions for Lee.
He approaches.
Hands them over to him.
Gives him that guy look of, I'm about to lose it, but I'm not going to because I'm a guy.

(02:11:59):
It's like, these records show.
Reckless spending.
Under the table deals.
Incredible threats made to the safety of our city by our own directors.

(02:12:21):
I know it is not my place to relieve them of duty.
But with the evidence I am presenting, it is someone's.
I am willing to be that person, to help lead any rebuilding efforts, and I swear it on my name.

(02:12:51):
For I am Dalmar Goldenrock.
I will not let them come, I will not let harm come to our people again.
I believe.
It's a big deal.
It is absolutely in your place.

(02:13:13):
Director.
He looks to you when he says that.
No.
He offers his hand for the documents.
I'll hand them over.

(02:13:36):
The directors are not.
We will find another term, another way to govern.
He nods.
And he has that broke.
He has a bro smile.
At you right now.

(02:13:58):
Little half smirk.
He thinks you're the coolest fucking person ever right now.
What's going off that Nat 20 right now?
He just he just he just goes.
Everyone.
You have new measures of leadership here.

(02:14:25):
And there is anyone to look at.
For who should.
For who should be the very model of leadership.
It is this man right here.
Now.
He opens up the documents.
To read over.

(02:14:49):
What our dear Mr.
L'affaire has spent.
Five thousand gold pieces.
And he bangle Tiger rug and he starts reading them over.
It out loud.
And you see people are growing in booze.
As you see, Mr.
L'affaire.

(02:15:13):
As you see, Mr.
L'affaire.
Kind of like kneeling down.
Hands in her lap.
She has her eyes closed.
And she's just being drowned in booze.
And you see Lee.
Pull up the slip.
As he as he reads through it all.

(02:15:35):
The booze were loud enough already.
They've already drowned him out.
But Cecilia.
I would say that you definitely notice.
You see Lee tries to continue to talk.
But the booze are loud.
And the crowd is beginning to approach.
They're getting restless.
They're angry.

(02:15:57):
Do they do public hangings in this part of the world?
No.
That's why Dalmar is going to somewhat begrudgingly.
But necessarily step in front of L'affaire.
In between her and the crowd.
Arm and a half out.

(02:16:19):
Remember who you are.
My fine people of Rexon.
Public beatings are not what we do.
She will go through.
The proper channels.
Justice will be served.

(02:16:42):
However.
I do believe there is a compost bin.
In the back of the restaurant.
Throwing rotten food.
That however.
I have no qualms with.
John Doe steps up.

(02:17:03):
Cracks his knuckles.
As the people really like that plan.
As this immaculate.
Normally immaculate.
Very caring about her parents.
When it gets carried off.
With Lee overlooking them.
The guy who was supposed to go comes over to you for a second.

(02:17:26):
Grabs your hand.
Shakes it.
Just goes.
You're my brother.
Before walking off to oversee that.
L'affaire doesn't get fucking killed.
Drowned.

(02:17:47):
I've been waiting to do that since the very first episode I've been in.
As.
Well that is happening.
Cecilia and Jean-Claude you watched this.
This first time you saw him this quite.
Not timid but not forward presenting.

(02:18:10):
Definitely not forward presenting man.
Take leadership now.
Speaking from his.
From his chest.
And people follow him.
You think there's.
No one better really.
The man who has led the efforts into rescuing as many people as he can.
Who has helped you immeasurably.

(02:18:34):
His merits outweigh.
Anyone you've met so far.
So far.
No one more deserving.
There is there is a little path between the both of you if you want to approach and talk to him.
I think John Claude will swagger up and go may a golden lock.

(02:18:57):
We're done.
There was something I found that I need to relate to the view.
What's that.
She looks at it was Lee still up here.
Oh no he went.
He left.
Yeah.

(02:19:18):
Yeah.
Just three of you.
Yes it is about the last thing he was going to say.
That I stopped him from doing.
Director LeFlair specifically.
Was fielding.

(02:19:39):
The moon shards from multiple.
Third parties multiple countries.
For the theft and delivery.
Of the moon shard that was in the Archmages possession.

(02:20:01):
Why multiple countries.
Right.
It was an offer it was OK.
It's an offer by one person multiple rewards like very lucrative.
Basically every kingdom.
Gotcha.
A very large monetary and.

(02:20:26):
Reward for their delivery.
Avilius.
Avilius Lava.
He looks to see your name in the lava and dynasty.

(02:20:47):
Do you know this name.
Does she know.
It's a very famous.
She's a very famous.
She's a very famous.
If if if you think this year has ever had her head and like other
surrounding kingdoms like.
Just general.
She reads.
Constantly.
Yes.

(02:21:08):
You know about the lava and family.
Their their history.
They're basically revered as.
Quasi deities.
She is.
The lava and dynasty is named after their family.
It's a very influential noble.
They're treated as as though they're.

(02:21:31):
God's devil trickers.
Things like that.
Where did you say the shouts were moving.
North.
Is lava North.
Yes.
Which is where Kari said she was from too.

(02:21:53):
Great.
Fucking great.
I.
I was going to say or maybe not say I was just kind of thinking it that I felt
like.

(02:22:14):
Maybe what you're doing to her is.
Harsh or not harsh.
I mean.
I heard what she did.
But.
Just.
Maybe not.
Right to inflict on.
Someone else.

(02:22:37):
But that means this is all her fault isn't it.
Yes.
And that is part of the reason why I stopped Lee from reading it out loud.
Even if the crowd.
Hadn't been able to hear it.
If someone had and pieced it together.

(02:23:01):
The last thing.
I want.
Even with my personal feelings related to her.
Is for her to.
Not receive.
A proper chance to adjust the system and then receive her punishment.

(02:23:24):
But yes this is her doing.
The punishment she is receiving now.
Call it the will of the people.
How that would go.

(02:23:50):
She's responsible for the death of.
Thousands.
But.
I feel like with this.
Will we be able to talk to her.
We might be able to.
Maybe she knows more.

(02:24:11):
About the people who took them.
I.
We need to get them back.
I know.
I know.
That's not your problem.
But.
You can talk to her.
Once we have her.

(02:24:32):
Restraint.
I'm aware that it is not the.
Nicest way.
Of doing things.
Cecilia.
But.
With what we have.
And what we're set to deal with.
It is the only.

(02:24:59):
We have to get ready to go north.
I've never been.
To the level.
That's where a fierce suspicion was from too.
It's connected.

(02:25:23):
I wish I was smarter.
But.
Before the two of you go.
So I'm not sure.
When you plan on leaving or if I will be around when you do.
Because I'm in.
Dire need of rest myself.
As our.

(02:25:46):
My family here.
But.
Cecilia.
Hold out your hand for me please.
She does.
He puts in your hand.
A for you slightly large.

(02:26:08):
Gold ring.
With an insignia on it.
And as he pulls his hand away.
On his ring finger you see a matching one.
Boarding bond.
No.
Is.
The crest of set Golden Rock.

(02:26:31):
If you ever are somewhere.
Where there are.
Dwarves.
Whether minds.
If you show that.
Information.
Housing food.
It is yours to have.

(02:26:53):
She should look said it.
Yes.
Thank you.
You really don't have.
Half to.
This isn't belong to like.
For my wife or something right it just kind of like it.

(02:27:16):
Since when did I have a wife.
It's just it's just they matched I.
Oh you're right did you have a.
No when I left my.
When I left the mountain.
I.
Trashed.

(02:27:37):
My first.
Right.
That was given to me by my.
By my father.
I have not realized that a certain.
Sly uncle of mine.
Had slipped me a few more without me noticing.

(02:27:58):
These rings when worn by non dwarves.
Simply show that you are friend.
And John Claude for you.
He'll get down on your motion for you to like.
Come down a bit yeah okay on his knees so that he can see him.

(02:28:21):
He will lightly tap his forehead against yours.
Mutter a few words under his breath and then very playfully punch you in the gut.
I like my.
Dick.
Or even blessing my friend.

(02:28:46):
Be strong.
You have someone to care for.
As do you.
And a name.
And many other things that have been rightfully.
Might have to.

(02:29:08):
There might be some issues with that.
With me claiming that back.
But it is bridged across when I get there.
New patterns because he did he know that one of those memories was Delmar's done with the dad.
You'd have to assume.

(02:29:29):
You could probably piece it together.
New patterns to be made.
New lines to be drawn.
New rivers to be searched.
Make that name.

(02:29:51):
A good one.
I strive to.
As for the two of you.
May your path be lit.
Mayor pickaxe swing true.
I wish you both the best of luck.
And he will.

(02:30:13):
A very rare thing for doors to do bow.
Before he turns and collapses into Luan and arxin's arms.
Oh he's dead tired.
He.
She was getting ready to say thank you to for everything you've done.

(02:30:37):
Only only Luan's there are being being treated and Luan just goes I got you.
Take care of him.
Yeah.
He really likes my cooking.
Everyone else.

(02:30:58):
That mess mean he loves you a lot.
He's my guy.
Oh, I can point out Luan is not a romantic interest.
Yeah.
We're we're we're assistants in their platonic arm's assistance in arms.
They're besties.

(02:31:20):
Like.
All right.
I actually got to put him to the side for a moment here.
I hope this isn't disrespectful by him. I am going to like pick him up again to any
enhance ability.
Okay.
All right.
I'm going to.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You're sleeping right.
Okay.
Let me put you down.
I'm gonna pick you up again.

(02:31:42):
Well, thank you both for everything.
Thank you.
I mean, you guys changed the forecast.
So that's pretty good.
I didn't do it alone.

(02:32:03):
I think the potions you've made saved.
Multiple of our lives.
And if we don't see him again before we have to leave.
Can you make sure that he knows I wanted to thank him too.
He put.

(02:32:25):
I know we were helping him.
But he was also helping us and a lot of the complications were because of us.
And he put his life on the line for.
For that to.
20% with us.
Well.
He wanted to thank you.

(02:32:47):
He had me go through his.
Personal.
His.
His stash of items to try and pick out to.
What I can give to you.
It's not as good as the Almar's ring.
He didn't give me one of those.
I'm gonna fucking I got a fucking punch.

(02:33:08):
You got a dwarven blessing.
Chill.
I'm saying I'm I think I'm dumb or his best friend and I never got a ring but we won't talk about it now.
Here reaches into a bag of holding.
Because.
I picked out things that I think would be really beneficial to you guys specifically.

(02:33:36):
Here for you.
See the.
She pulls out a pair of a pair of a pair of gauntlets.
They're a bit hard.
They have like the.
They have like the hard scales over the arms but it edges out with.

(02:33:57):
Soft gloves at the end.
This is for you.
These are called the warding hands.
I have a feeling like you're a big healer type.
So.
I think this would help.
Those items whenever you heal someone they gain blade ward until the end of the next turn.
Thank you Baldur's gate.
Baldur's gate.

(02:34:18):
Thanks Baldur's gate.
Are you sure you.
I.
Oh yeah.
I mean yeah I'm pretty I'm pretty sure actually.
No I'm very sure that you deserve this.
So shut up.

(02:34:39):
Yes you do.
Well thank you.
People keep giving us stuff and I never I never know what to do she says to Jean-Claude.
I mean like I'm glad you get stuff Cecilia.
I get blessings.
Well big guy.
I got something for you.

(02:35:01):
If it is a waffle house gift card I swear to any god.
Well I have one gift for you now instead of two.
I'm just saying you guys are going north there's a lot of.
No.
I would take it if nobody else wanted it.
You're getting two gifts.
Here's one of my coupon books.

(02:35:26):
I keep a lot of coupons I'm a pretty frugal person.
I think this is just if you go to a store just like.
I'm getting the coupon book.
No Cecilia because you don't want the house of.
Coupon book I'm writing it down.

(02:35:47):
You better use it.
Whenever you go to a store there might be a chance you get a discount on certain items.
Because you end is really.
It's going to be the most obscure item.
But it definitely has house of waffle coupons.
As she just goes the lava dynasty is.

(02:36:08):
Well if you're going to go there it's a huge desert.
What I recommend is that you find you find someone to help guide you through it.
I don't have anybody I don't have anybody to know though.
And my main thing for you.
Jean Claude.

(02:36:31):
Can anyone say.
Custodiar she pulls out a she pulls out this.
This is one shield.
It's very it's it's very like it has a very like.
Like reflective blue color it looks very nice.
Oh and she just goes.

(02:36:53):
The command word is custard.
Gives it to you.
He takes a shield with custard dial.
As you say that the shield springs to life.
And begins to float in the air and starts to spin around you get an animated shield.
I just sent you to it.

(02:37:15):
While holding the shield you can speak its command word as a bonus action to cause it to animate.
The shield leaps into the air and hovers in your space to protect you as if you were wielding it.
So you can wield a two handed weapon.
And have a shield.
It's a plus one shield so it's a plus three AC.
And anybody within five feet of you.
Oh your allies within five feet you also gets a plus three bonus because she will protect them too.

(02:37:37):
I love this Jean Claude.
Jean Claude me.
That's the new lineup.
Jean Claude is like I'm this is so.
As he's not used to.
You see the shield kind of as you scream.
It just kind of like shakes for a moment and it turns towards you.

(02:38:00):
It's kind of like the red from the Latin.
It almost it's very animated.
And it turns to it turns to Luanne.
And Luanne goes go that's you that's your new go ahead.

(02:38:23):
And then the shield turns towards the front of the shield turns towards you.
It bumps up a little bit like a very cheery hello.
Hello.
Cecilia help me.
It's another.
Now we have another unexpectedly sentient friend.

(02:38:45):
It floats around you towards your back.
Jean Claude before it slams against your back.
And it just it remains there.
It's like you know for you at Beck and call.
The things I love help me.
I was like.
Go ahead.

(02:39:06):
He goes thank you.
Luanne.
For stealing this from Delma.
Tell him I thank him.
Nice stealing.
Write a letter that I told the god better gifts.
Even though it wasn't really he kind of had his ring and I just alluded to the park majors.
Anyways.

(02:39:29):
Is that a cat driving a horse carriage over there.
Augustus.
He's back.
You look you look over where everyone everyone else is occupied.
You see Augustus his Paul a black cat was sitting in front of a.
He's got his paws on like the ropes.

(02:39:52):
He's trying his best.
He can't get it.
But you see the horse is slowly walking in and he's he's just it's so funny he's like.
And he starts like smacking them like a cat under behind but they're not moving faster.
Augustus you came back.

(02:40:13):
Augustus is covered in like leaves dirt and grime.
He just goes I've had no choice to.
After.
After.
I.
After some time traveling I realize.
I'm not quite fit to.

(02:40:37):
Travel the wilds.
I realized that shortly after you left it might have been a bad idea.
Now that I didn't have faith in you I just I was a victim of mine own hubris.

(02:40:58):
Just well I'm glad you're safe.
I'm glad you found your way back.
You disappeared for a while.
But as soon as I as soon as I came closer to town I found your wagon.
That's when you arrived again.
What happened Cecilia Idle wind.
Is that cat talking.
This is Augustus.

(02:41:20):
I guess this is Luanne.
Hi.
Hello.
That's Damar but he's.
He's that big.
Oh yeah I'm going to get him now.
For the second time this episode Damar is out.
I I whispered to the way and I go.
He used to be a sphinx.

(02:41:50):
You guys are cool.
Have you met.
That.
Our other well that maybe it's not the time.
You guys can see and rest for like a little bit right we can just like talk for like a long time.

(02:42:12):
I don't know I think.
Cecilia needs some more rest.
I can rest on.
The wagon.
I do want to talk to this.
Mistral person.
Yeah that's going to have to be a while so you guys might have to stay.

(02:42:39):
But I don't want them to get too far.
They started for a bit but they kept their back moving.
You have sending right.
Not today.
Well I mean in the future.
If you need to ask them to get answers for us.
I'll give you this Cecilia.
They're very far and they're moving at a really good pace.

(02:43:04):
And there's an and it's going to be hard to like move at full pace with your wagon for that long time you have so much to catch up to and so long.
That perhaps the wisdom here is that they got to go where they got to go and you just got to get you just get there when you can.

(02:43:27):
Yeah.
No you go first.
Chasing them right now as fast as possible you have a feeling it's going to take a lot of effort and energy.
Like fall on just sprinting with the horses just for weeks on end to get to them if they're keeping up their pace.
Luanne.

(02:43:49):
Yeah.
Does this town or anyone here.
I know it's really advanced so I don't know but I the city was really advanced but.
Is there teleportation magic.
A lot of our institutions that had arcane stuff it all went just.

(02:44:15):
Could the archmage.
It will take a while to like draw up a new one.
Where are you trying to go.
We don't know exactly where they're headed but.
We can't catch up to them they're too fast they're just too fast.

(02:44:36):
I think even if we went as fast as we could even if we were full strength I don't think we'd reach them in time.
But if we could get ahead of them or just anywhere nearer to them not not today necessarily.
I don't think we should confront them today we'd have to figure out I need to keep expectations real.

(02:44:58):
Right now it's really hard to.
Well I think the archmage is the only one who could really do it.
They're trying to go north I think the father's we can get you towards.
Well.
The mountains.
Towards where towards where.

(02:45:21):
Downwards from.
But we can't get you past the desert.
We've doesn't work too good there'd be dangerous to teleport you across.
How long to me would take normally to get to the mountains.
Traveling normally.
Right now it's like three to four days travel.

(02:45:44):
She's.
If if that's at all possible.
Even in that not today I know it can't happen today.
But if it's possible that it could happen within.
Less time than it would have taken us to get there.
Then.
Then it would be so helpful.

(02:46:07):
I know.
I'm sorry I wish I could do it.
The archmage is in a really bad place right now.
I'm not sure if he has the energy to.
Do it.
Not today.
I don't even know about tomorrow.

(02:46:30):
He hasn't eaten in like weeks.
There's a curse that's.
There's some kind of curse in his body that he's been telling us about.
You need to be careful.
A curse on the body.
Remember.
The fever fucking thing.
Take it straight back.

(02:46:52):
Well no like the like Jaime.
Oh yeah.
The full moon.
I'm out of the loop.
I think he's changed into some sort of like enthrone.
So you have to be careful about the moon cycles.
It's manageable.
Seemingly he wouldn't.
He's not the first one I've met.

(02:47:13):
And I'm sure there are support groups.
Lycanthrope.
A werewolf.
The coolest one.
Yeah.
I mean that's not great but.
But it's good.
It's good.
I have a werewolf was.
Really dangerous.
But yeah.
I'm sorry.
It's manageable.
Manageable.

(02:47:36):
I can't like I said I can't promise anything right now.
Anything speedy.
And a lot of magical effort.
I'm sorry.
Well we will figure it out.
Then we'll just have to leave.

(02:48:00):
We can always call right.
It's hard with 25 words but.
We could.
Oh I know sending too.
So I could talk back and forth again get double the double the messages.
That way we can keep each other in touch about what's going on.

(02:48:22):
And I push my sending to 28 words because I speak with hyphens.
What.
Never mind.
You can do that.
I feel like I've been cheating.
Something.
But yeah.
I thought I could get some extra words.
Well.

(02:48:45):
I.
In that case.
That would be great especially since I.
Can't cast it as often as I used to.
She realizes what she said.
And kind of like like instinctually looks at John Claes face to see if he caught on to anything.
And then she does he doesn't.

(02:49:06):
And so she just.
Just goes.
She just goes on once you get some rest.
It'll feel all right.
Yeah.
Because I'm just I'm so tired.
Yeah.
And also you got slashed in the tummy.
Poisoned.
Hold on.
When you're poisoned.
Wait you're poisoned.
Hold on.
And he grew.
The poison.

(02:49:27):
Or off.
With five HP of nulls poison with his healing hands.
My own hands.
You feel better.
Oh that actually helped.
I thought it was mostly gone but that actually helped.
Just tell me next time.
She rubs her chin and then she points a finger at you Cecilia.

(02:49:48):
A message.
She just goes.
Listen.
I'm a fellow bad liar.
What's going on.
What.
Wow.
That was really loud.
How did you do that.
You stunned me.

(02:50:09):
You see you see.
And now you see them both pointing fingers at each other.
Ladies.
We good.
Hello.
I'm just wondering what.
Hi.
She's distracting me.
I'm just wondering what the.
I'm just.
I'm just wondering.
Stop it.

(02:50:34):
I'm just.
Stop what.
I'm just wondering.
Why the sudden.
She drops message.
I'm just wondering why.
She's talking out loud now.
Oh let's.
Yeah.
I'm just wondering why.
When I.
You brought that up and you something got really.

(02:50:56):
Defensive about it.
That's a.
What up.
I already forgot what we were talking about.
But.
What.
I.
What does she defensive about.
No I'm not.
I'm just talking about like not casting as many spells as she.
What do you mean.
What's wrong with your space.
No I'm no I'm.

(02:51:18):
You see this dark shadow block out the sun.
There's nothing wrong with my spells.
I just.
I mean I'm in the you know how you know how you know.
When I said.
Yeah.
I guess this goes.
You don't need me to tell you that she's lying.
Like.
The sphinx.
Who knows.
Who's telling the truth.
You know when we were when we were there with.

(02:51:42):
The moon and everything and.
Sometimes my spells wouldn't go away.
So I can't.
Ask as many.
As I could.
There.
Sometimes.
Why.
Because the the the the the the the the the thing.
The thing not.
The moon shards I.

(02:52:05):
The moon shards took away your space.
No I.
I didn't.
I might have.
Been.
Before.
We got to rexon.
I might have been.
Waiting for you to go to bed and then using the moon shards to send extra messages.

(02:52:29):
To my sister.
I'm gonna go pick up down.
Hey.
The best of luck to the both of you.
I speak with Cecilia.
You stay right there.

(02:52:51):
As he turns to Luanne.
Look at Augustus.
Augustus just goes.
I'm a believer in truth.
He'll say quietly to Luanne.
If you could give me one more gift.

(02:53:15):
It seems like the city has a lot to rebuild yes.
Yeah.
If you wouldn't mind.
When you built.
The school.
Can you dedicate it to K4.

(02:53:41):
Of course.
He made sure the kids were safe.
I can't think of anyone more worthy.
I think.
I don't think anyone after this is going to be quick to go back to.

(02:54:02):
The way things were before.
No they aren't.
After.
The.
Awakened.
A lot of them seemed really.
Pained by what they've been going through before.
I don't know how it works I don't know if they actually feel that way outside of that heightened state.

(02:54:28):
But I don't think that should happen again.
Well the automatons they gained their sentience by.
Leaching onto both the ethereal and fugue plane.
And does that mean.
All the.
Wandering.

(02:54:49):
That souls.
That are wandering those planes that haven't been claimed by.
Gods.
All that emotion and such swelling up.
In those planes they get.
Basically.
Reconfigured.
That's where they can draw their sentience from that's how.

(02:55:14):
That's how they do it around the world.
That sounds horrible.
They're just.
They're fueled by.
The souls of.
People who've passed on.
And who could and who couldn't move on.

(02:55:41):
Now people.
People they.
They justify it because.
These people who have who haven't moved on they want to still be a part of the world and to help people into.
Move things and make a change.
I realize it didn't sound like the best but.

(02:56:03):
This is new burgeoning.
Stuff.
And I guess that's what we were trying to that's what they were trying to do here.
And.
To people looked really impressive.
They can't do that again.
That's.
Maybe more than anything else maybe that's more of why this happened.

(02:56:27):
That's what the moon shard had to fuel itself to control everything.
It was it was I felt it interacting with people's memories lives.
And it's not right.
Well if it makes you feel better.
The idea is definitely dead here.

(02:56:50):
This was cat farms last attempt to.
Become anything of an arcane society.
And you just you definitely watch it all go away for a good reason.

(02:57:13):
We're definitely not going to do that here again.
But I can't say the same for other places.
Dino.
My dog.
Thank you Vivian's mom.
Not my dog.
Thank you Vivian's mom and Kiki's brother for helping figure all this stuff out.

(02:57:38):
Not my dog.
I'm sorry.
Cecilia I know it's a bummer.
I mean you didn't do anything but save people's lives and stuff.

(02:58:02):
You did the same thing.
Yeah but you're the one who was apologizing.
Just take my apology.
But no.
And you better go and you got to go talk to your like your uncle over there because.
The sun is being blotted out by a shadow in the background.

(02:58:23):
Look at that he is he's an eclipse on his own.
That is trouble.
If a man could become an eclipse.
Oh mama that's an issue.
That is a scary man.
He's not my uncle by the way.
Funkel.
It's fun and uncle at the same time.
I'm still working up the courage to call my boss that.

(02:58:50):
Maybe you know now maybe it's not the time for it.
So down more has been on the ground for a long time.
Yes.
I'm going to deal with that now.
Yeah.
But you guys should stay in rest.
I don't know how urgent your situation is but.

(02:59:15):
I think it would be really nice to have you both of you here.
Until you're better at least.
Put both of our minds at ease.
All right.
She starts rolling down more.
Over and over again.

(02:59:43):
Leave the two of you to make your choice.
It was before I knew that they.
That they you know like the weird thing where they wanted to hurt me thing.

(03:00:09):
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I made you feel like you couldn't come talk to me about these things.
It's not that.

(03:00:32):
I mean.
Kind of but.
Not kind of it is.
It just.
I didn't think it was important.
Cecilia.
You are very important.
Not no not that just.

(03:00:55):
What I was doing you know.
It's dangerous.
You are an adult.
I cannot.
Force you to do anything.

(03:01:28):
And they understand missing your sister.
But.
There are stones.
We can find no.
Stones that send messages and.
Do not require extra spells to be used.
We can find another way.
It might be kind of expensive.

(03:01:51):
I don't know.
The other person has to have the other end.
I'll figure it out.
I need you.
To take care of you.
For so long you've been taught to take care of others.
Like your dad.

(03:02:17):
Try to practice that on you.
And until then.
I'll be begging you about it.
We fluffed her hair.
I didn't think I was hurting myself by it.
Well now you know.
I still don't think.

(03:02:40):
Maybe.
I just thought I was getting.
Before even if I'd use them once.
It would exhaust me.
But I started being able to use them.
A little bit.
Without.
Without it I thought I was getting stronger.

(03:03:02):
I thought I was fine.
I'm sure you are.
You are strong.
You're so strong.
You are strong without the moon shafts.
But this is a very.
Ancient magic.

(03:03:23):
That I just want you.
To be careful with.
Not because I don't trust you.
Not because I don't think you can handle it.
I know you can.
You've taken down creatures larger than I.

(03:03:47):
And down smelted those wiser than I could ever hope to be.
But I just need you to take care of yourself.
And now.

(03:04:10):
That you know.
They can talk.
They have access to memories that are not our own.
Just be careful.
I am.
Well.

(03:04:33):
Maybe not enough.
You are careful with others.
Not yourself.
And I am.
I am a pot calling a kettle black.

(03:05:04):
If I could handle them maybe.
Maybe they wouldn't.
Be with Sharans right now.
No.
Now you're just saying foolish things.
And you are the smeltest person I know.
So that's how you know how foolish that is.

(03:05:27):
I hope I'm not.
She says.
What does that supposed to mean?
I.
It's now I just.
This is not about you.
I know it's I know it feels like it's about you.

(03:05:49):
Right.
Oh I'm not enough.
If I were more I could have kept the Sharans.
If I were more powerful.
No no no no no no.
Life happens.
There are things that happen to us that are way out of our control.
And it has nothing to do with your power and your strength.

(03:06:10):
Do not let those Sharans.
Yes it is our duty.
But do not let them define your power.
You are a goddess in disguise.
You don't mean literally this time right.
No now I'm joking I got this.

(03:06:33):
But there is something there's something there.
There's something weird is all I'm saying jokes are just another form of lies.
Okay buddy.
I never thought about it that way.
But you're killing the vibe as the kids say.
I apologize.
Okay don't please don't.
All right.
So I think.

(03:06:57):
I don't mean to offend you.
He's going to turn away for a moment.
So that no one sees him wipe away like try to do like the man thing that they do when they're trying to hide tears and they like you know they do this.
It's okay.

(03:07:21):
No turn back and go.
So when we get the moonshine back which we will.
Understand that they are a tool.
They are natural strength.

(03:07:42):
Cecilia fucking I do wind is a first to be reckoned with with or without their magic.
I have not detected a lie.
That's fucking light.
Because I'm a gloving god captain.
And I know my shit.

(03:08:05):
Spirit rolls his eyes.
How far has been able to get him to just just like.
All right.
The stairs are a problem.
I just got a floating desk.
I'm gonna do that.
So Augustus does twitch when you say I'm a girl and guy I know I share he does like.

(03:08:26):
So by the way.
Are we staying here for a bit just to take a breather and then hit the road when things are more settled.
We should.
No offense but.
You look pretty rough too.
OK fuck you Cecilia.

(03:08:49):
Maybe it wouldn't be good for either of us to be.
Driving until we've gotten at least one night's of rest.
He sighs.
Yeah I feel like shit too.
And then maybe.
If we're lucky.
Maybe the Archmage should be able to help us tomorrow but.

(03:09:13):
I get why we can't count on that.
Well if we could if he could get us to the mountains that would shave.
Four or five days off.
And if the moon shouts stop moving.
And they find their primary location where they are going to go.
It will be easier for us to plan our way to infiltrate and get them back.

(03:09:40):
So what I'm hearing is the moon shards are gone.
Saloon knows us a big one is all I'm saying.
I kind of when I was talking to the one I kind of almost felt like oh am I a babysitter.
I.
Yeah the kids stuff is a little weird for me I'm not going to lie.

(03:10:03):
It's not my favorite thing.
But I'm choosing.
To trust in you.
And you know how best to handle this with my help.
That's when is together.
I think it's creepy they call that to the mom being the god of check out but it's also fucking weird.

(03:10:24):
Because the pieces of the moon.
I hope you know that I also don't know what to do.
So.
Good.
I actually feel better about myself.
Oh.
Thank you for saying that Cecilia.

(03:10:46):
I just.
I.
I mean it sounds like from when I talked to my sister that she also doesn't know what to do most of the time when she goes out.
I never know.
So I like to pretend.
Sometimes pretending helps.

(03:11:08):
So do I just like make stuff up.
Yes.
And sometimes if you make it up enough you start to believe it like.
I am strong.
I can protect those I love.
But that's not making.
It up you're very strong.
Well when I when the times and I don't feel strong I have to make it up sometimes.

(03:11:32):
That's not making it up is it's the truth is just.
I it's called manifesting.
I read it in a book.
He's like very firm and adamant.

(03:11:57):
If you wish good things for you they will happen.
Okay.
Then I guess we should manifest.
That's right.
Go bus gatekeep manifest.
That one.

(03:12:18):
That's what the G.
It just.
I know it doesn't.
I know.
But that's what other girls in their comments never say.
So maybe I need to shift jungles.
You still have a lot of that last book to read.
I know.
I just thought I thought it was pedantic.

(03:12:41):
You know the tropes was nothing to us.
So.
You're going to say something.
I was trying to think of something to get the conversation.

(03:13:02):
So you are acting in wisdom and you are resting.
Yeah.
I'm going to say something.
Oh yes.
As you know.
I am the way system and us.
I have not stopped for weeks.
I will do with some rest.

(03:13:24):
In the bath buddy you smell.
Oh if you're a cat now does that mean you can get fleas.
We should probably check.
Oh no.
But it has been an unfortunate.
It has been an unfortunate side effect.
Yes.
I'm going to go to the bath buddy and help pick him up by the scrub.
Let's go get you a bath.

(03:13:45):
I am looking forward to sleeping inside of your warmth once more Jean Claude.
I consider you I consider you one of my closest friends.
I love you too.
Agastis.
I was worried about you.
I suppose.
It is affection.
Yes.
I love you too.

(03:14:10):
Good job buddy.
And he scratches his tummy.
Oh yes.
And we love you too.
Don't get jealous.
That's his way of saying he loves us.
And Charles.

(03:14:33):
Beautiful.
I think with that they're going to finally for the first time in a long time actually rest for a night.
And as circumstances draw down and the day draws closer to its end the night falls and it is a night decorated with clear stars cloaked in black and darkness as it should be.

(03:15:07):
Not red.
You've got how pleasant the night looked when it was plain and before you.
It makes you almost appreciate it.
But what definitely stands out most above all in the sky is the moon shining bright.
Like always.

(03:15:30):
And some point during when you find rest when you're by yourself in a room Jean Claude perhaps Cecilia is away or something.
They gave you room at an end to rest.
Wait I thought I was done.
Augustus approaches you.

(03:15:53):
Takes a seat next to you his tail slowly waddling back and forth.
He just goes.
Jean Claude.
Hmm.
You are different.
I feel as if something has tightened and it's grown much stronger within you.

(03:16:15):
I feel conviction.
I feel as if your oath has become much stronger.
Yes children teach us more than we teach them as our last say.
That has been true throughout history.

(03:16:44):
If you ever need to confide in anyone.
Please know that I am also an option.
Thank you.
I'll have to let JJ know.
Ah.

(03:17:05):
They're still around.
Yes, they're still around.
Bottom to your bag buddy and Augustus's eye.
Is there a bag hierarchy?
Why did JJ be alive this entire time?
Like at the last session?

(03:17:27):
Or get his zest?
So.
Augustus just goes.
It is good to be back in your companies again.
We missed you.
Cecilia has grown stronger as well.

(03:17:51):
She has.
Exponentially.
And I also sense a change.
Trepidation.
Understand a bit.
But that is what makes heroes.

(03:18:15):
Now I'm going to make a comfortable space for myself.
This I find takes a while.
Spins.
Yep.
Oh boy.
Do you do that buddy?
Lays down?

(03:18:36):
No.
General Tunklaut settles in knowing that he's not going to get a lot of sleep.
Your bracelet around your arm.
You feel it more than ever now.

(03:18:57):
You feel the flashes of brilliance that you had dedicated yourself to.
Going again to the world.
Really coursed through you.
You've made a vow.
You, Jean-Claude.

(03:19:19):
You must live.
You must see this through.
I'm coming, Annie.
I'm coming.

(03:19:41):
And with that, we go over to Cecilia.
When nothing bad can happen.
She's wearing her nightcap.
Cecilia.
You hear Minion.
Oh, um.
Let me speak to you.

(03:20:04):
You put me in a place where JJ kept looking at me.
Oh, sorry.
I don't like their beady eyes.
Couldn't you like, mage hand him?
Hm?
Couldn't you like, mage hand him?
I don't want to touch that thing.
It scares me.
Listen here and listen good, Minion.

(03:20:29):
You messed up.
What?
But everyone messes up.
That just kinda happens to people.
And I don't want to say if Jean-Claude was right.

(03:20:52):
I could probably morph people now, so don't you even think about saying that to him.
You should actually start putting me on like, oh, you're a waste more often.
Keep leaving me out.
I could cast spells and stuff.
Which means I'm on the top of the food chain.
I, um.

(03:21:14):
You're nervous.
Oh, I can tell.
But you have so, but you're so tiny, you're like a mouse.
But.
It's a skull.
And you have glasses.

(03:21:35):
Yeah, um.
You haven't taken those off yet.
I need them to see.
What is he doing?
What was I doing again?
What is he doing?
Oh, right.
Sorry.
When I start insulting people, it becomes a chain.

(03:21:56):
Yeah, you're really good at it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Alright, where was I?
Oh yeah.
I sense fear in you.
I'm really good at it, so yes, I did.

(03:22:17):
I hope.
I've seen what fear does to lesser people.
It turns them into statues.
It makes them do things.
That they regret.

(03:22:42):
And I find that
fear has stolen many things that people love.
You have the capacity
to move against this fear.

(03:23:06):
Stand up and reach out
for what you want.
Tell me.
Girl.
What do you want above all?

(03:23:32):
I want the...
She's thinking so much about the moon shards
that she almost says it.
But then she goes, um...
I want my family to be safe.

(03:24:13):
Then crush your fears
with all of your strength
that you have in your tiny body.
Supplement it with bravery
and foolishness if you must.

(03:24:35):
And succeed.
Where I've failed.
I am Fuchsia.
What?

(03:25:00):
It's nice to...
Take me closer to my home
in the Lavolum dynasty.
I feel as if the curse could grow weaker if you do.
The curse...

(03:25:24):
What is it?
I hope you being scared doesn't stop you
from getting me a new body, minion.
Jesus.

(03:25:45):
Um...
What?
You're not gonna let her hold you back, right?
Don't forget, you owe me.

(03:26:07):
You know you're a phylactery, right?
I think...
Did you just call me?
I didn't...
If I'm going to be completely honest,
at first I didn't think you were a lich.
Um, but I didn't really know what a lich was.
But then...
You're doing the mumbling thing again.
You're mumbling.

(03:26:28):
I'm sorry, I just...
Hey! You be nice to her!
I am a high lich aphiis.
I think that...

(03:26:54):
Even though you think highly of yourself,
I think you're even higher above that than you realize.
I know, I feel bad.
That's what I was going to say.

(03:27:17):
Well, you don't realize it.
But there's a lot of potential I see in you, minion.
And not only I think that,
there's something deep down inside of me
that really believes that too.
And I don't know what it is, it bothers me.

(03:27:39):
You're doing the thing with your mouth again.
I wish I had a chin with skin on.
Ew!
Maybe I could give you like a mask or something, but...
Ooh!
Maybe I could...
Maybe I could make one?
I've never been that...
Brilliant idea, minion.

(03:28:01):
I will have very high expectations.
Okay.
But thank you.
I know it means a lot coming from you.
I mean, it's not that I don't believe it when Jean-Claude says it,
it's just that Jean-Claude...
To be honest, sometimes I feel like

(03:28:23):
he puts too much faith in me.
Okay!
And I feel like he thinks...
Not always, but...
Sometimes I think he thinks higher of me than maybe he should.
Perhaps...

(03:28:47):
If you feel like you don't live up to the expectations
that you believe that people have in you,
perhaps it becomes a sign.
You must endeavor to try to become the people,
the person that people think you are.

(03:29:14):
That's what happens
when the way you look and the things you do give people hope.
And the best kind of hope
is the one that doesn't make people wait.

(03:29:36):
What the fuck did I say?
Hi, Lord Aphius.
What, minion?
Can I give you a hug?
Aww!
Okay.

(03:29:57):
But make sure nobody else knows.
Okay, I promise.
Wait, um, Charles, um, she throws the bag of holding under the bed.
Yeah, that's right, get that son of a bitch out of here.
And she hugs the skull real quick.
A mage hand packs her bag.
It's kind of awkward, so...
Oh, she wasn't expecting that, so she actually jumps.

(03:30:20):
Aww!
You can tell me anything, minion.
You've earned that.
I'll listen to anything you confide in me about.
That means a lot coming from you.
Everything means a lot when it comes out of my mouth.

(03:30:42):
You complimenting me is actually...
it almost actually makes me want to cry because...
because you're...
I know that that means that you really mean it.
I'm going to admit, minion,
throughout this little adventure of ours,
I feel like I've been changing, too.
Yes, you have.

(03:31:04):
She notices her lips going back into that thing again,
and then she just sticks them out.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
I feel like there's another part of me coming out,
and I can't quite explain it.
But that part of me said some...
that part of me said the things I just said.

(03:31:25):
Anyways...
Hmm?
That part of you doesn't erase who you are, too.
I won't let it, so it won't.
Alright.
Now believe in yourself and put me back in the bag,
but faced away from that stupid doll.

(03:31:49):
I don't really know how to tell which direction I'm putting things in
when I put you in the bag.
I'll give you directions as you slowly lower me.
Okay, let me...
She pulls the bag out from under the bed again and just...
Lower, lower, lower, left, left.
Too far, too far, too far.
Left, down, up.

(03:32:14):
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay.
The lid, the lid, the lid.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Um...
You have endless expectations on you, Cecilia.

(03:32:42):
Maybe higher than you think yourself are.
And you've been hit with...
You've been hit...
Maybe not with failure, even though you might feel that way.
But...

(03:33:05):
You've come across a thing that many people, like Delmyra, come across.
Terrible people.
People who were hurt.
And take everything from you.
Take everything from the people that you love.

(03:33:28):
But nonetheless, you're alive.
Your heart still goes on strong.
With rest, it'll come back stronger.
This isn't over.
Not by a long shot.

(03:33:49):
As a trio finds their rest after an arduous night.
Filled with unbound valor.
Um...
None of it which has been excessive.
All of that had to be enough.

(03:34:16):
And with valor being called for in the future, our heroes have quite the adventure ahead of them.
Fear in their hearts for certain.

(03:34:40):
But not despair.
Those two things can be easily mistaken for one another.
We'll move again against the grain.
On the Lanaya Road.
Next time.
When Lanaya Expedition Season 2 starts up.

(03:35:13):
And they level up, yes.
Twice?
Yay!
Wait, wait.
I feel like we've earned like two.
Once.
Once.
I feel like...
Good job, Tim!
I've had that message set to go for like an hour.
Good job, JT!
Good job, Jenny!

(03:35:34):
Good job, Emma!
You guys also get like a point of inspiration or whatever.
You guys can take one.
It's for the road.
And what's nice is that...
No, my level stays my level.
It is mine.
I have earned that.
No, Albert said I think Jenny's level can go to JT.

(03:35:56):
That's what he said.
This is JT's last episode for now.
What I like though is that we can...
When we need to message him, we can just ask JT in chat.
We can send to Downmar.
We still got to roleplay in chat, buddy.
Because he's our mod!

(03:36:17):
Because he's our mod!
So it's like, wow, we should ask Downmar.
Hey, JT!
You know, a lot of us here came from text roleplay.
So it's just going to be just like nostalgia.
It's going to be just like home.
We'll be like, we'll need your 25-word answer, please.
I'll just like disembodied voice pop into the call.
No camera, no nothing.

(03:36:39):
Just come in, give an answer, and leave.
So real quick, before we leave off,
Downmar's failed perception check earlier.

(03:37:02):
As everyone is heading towards the House of Waffles to get their treatment.
Oh, Jesus.
What Downmar didn't see was the shuffling of a scarecrow.
Crawling out of the window of the inner sanctum, having successfully snuck away.

(03:37:32):
Absolutely fucking not.
Absolutely fucking not.
The last thing we see is a scarecrow under the guise of night,
making its way off through a field, away from Frexon.

(03:37:56):
Yeah, because we don't have the mood charts so they can get fucked.
Is Vayne that scarecrow?
The changeling?
The changeling?
Because he got fought off and nobody knows what happened to him.
He left too, they said.
I thought changelings could only do different races, not like...
But if it's a scarecrow and not a changeling,

(03:38:18):
and the scarecrow can change appearance or something.
And that is where we're going to end Season 1 of the Naya Expedition.
Fuck these scarecrows, man.
Hey, thank you so much for watching.

(03:38:40):
We'll see you again.
We'll see you soon.
Sooner than you think.
Do do do do do!
Bye bye!
Bye!
Bye bye!
Bye!
