one point he's cursed?

Speaker 3 (04:44):
How's he cursed?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
The evil hags Kabatha put a curse on? Well, I
wouldn't say put a curse on, but he's been transformed.
He used to be this big, giant blue creature who
you actually used to keep, who used to kidnap the kids,
the one. I guess that's what you would call it.

He's under a curse. The star is not unaware of
what the curse is.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
But can I talk to Will and see what the
curse is?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
He wouldn't know he's under a curse. He doesn't know

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Old man Maurice was the Yeah, Maurice, uh did.

Speaker 1 (07:18):

draft of a map, but it would take a little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Kind of check on ol Man Maurice.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, you can go see a few mans and you
started heading towards this workshop and you and you do
see that there's still a light on and you go
in and you see him passed.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Out over top of the map and it is a.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
It looks like it is a a decent like it's
like a rough draft of what it would be.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Can I make out like any rooms or anything?

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, no, do a perception check perception or investigation.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Investigation perception investigation, I.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
He is he is legit just like kind of on
top of the map.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Can I defily like pull the map out from underneath me?

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Pull a slip man God sixteen, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, yeah, that's something you're able to kind of kind
of like scoot like kind of wiggle a little bit
without disturbing him and you and like after pulling it
it is a nice it is.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Like a it is well enough that like a rough
draft and not that you're able to tell what is what? Okay,
And you see it is a.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
It is a long like it looks to be about
like like it's like the room itself is the whole
like the size of.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
The whole tree, okay, is like.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
So the tree is just one giant room.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well it's like what it's one giant like entity.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's like the whole house itself, like the whole length
of the tree is the base.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
But from what you can see tell by the map?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Okay, am I able to commit this to memory?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Or you could easily take the map with you? So okay,
if I get caught.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
With this, because I plan on going to a castigate
some reconnaissance.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Okay, where was I?

Speaker 3 (10:02):
I stole the map?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, you've stole the map, and so what are you
going to do with this map?

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Can I use my Light Guild pendant to talk to
Bill Barr?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
You can?

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You can trot I use.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
My pennant just like Bill Barr right there.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It takes a few minutes, but.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's the same Like it takes a few minutes and
all that stuff, and then you can cut and Bill
comes out and.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Say it's Bill, What's what's the situation?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Okay? Bill?

Speaker 5 (10:39):
So I've decided to do some reconnaissance on Loom Larch
myself because okay, there's not I'm not very confident in
everybody else's ability.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Unfortunately, okay, just too much fighting.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Understand what are you wanting to do?

Speaker 3 (10:58):
We need to find out what her weaknesses. We need to.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
Figure out how we can take her down, but also
save these children. And I wanted to see if you
would come with me.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, that's the same we got them want that's the same.
It is a possibility that if it's just the two
of us, we may be able to we may be
able to save the kids.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
In there.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
So where do you want me to meet at? And
I will? Shall you keep the map? Here?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Meet me?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think this is the entrance. Yeah, this is the entrance.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
This is the entrance. Meet me just outside of the
entrance in the trees.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Okay, okay, got it. None of the cover of nights,
roll a roll a stealth check at the debank reach.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
That was seven.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Nineteen twenty four.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, you you were able to sneak. You were able
to sneak there. It takes a little bit and you
make it outside a little more soap with l one.
Let's see here, let me finally. Okay, as you get closer,

(12:46):
the forest is at its darkest tier. Up ahead, a
colossal dead oak lies on its side.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Three living trees grow natural out of its fallen remains.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Their shapes resemble towers with candle in the windows, twinkling
in the gloom, and wooden balconies and circling gnarled branches.
On one side of the fallen tree, firelet spills from
a pair of eloquent storefront windows, illuminating a clear field
with merchant stalls.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Hm does he bilbar anywhere.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
You?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
As you stick out, you hear like out of nowhere.
You just hear him a bout your character's name again,
He said, Wren, are you there? And you just see
him kind of.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Kind of phase at like out of the darkness.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
I'm here.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
So as you look and saying, so what do you
have in mind?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Well, this is going to require a great deal of stealth,
but we need to figure out.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
I've got this map from old man Maurice. I'm not
sure if you can make anything of it, but maybe
you have more.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Insight than I do.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
He looks at it and he's able to like go
through and said, well, some of it's.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
It looks like that Scabatha.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
Maybe maybe taking furnther dick into the tree to like
towards the end, of this where.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
She is from what it looks like below. It may
be that's where the kids quarters are.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
And do you want to try to sneak into the
kid's quarters and see if we can get them out
under the guy's a night?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It is possible, but that's saying roll a, roll a
perception check shock.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
H I does hate me tonight and that one plus.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Four you're you don't see it. But Bill rolled good
enough to let me, let me simply bring him his
uh sup reel real quick.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
The Bill, I'm counting on you because I ain't see ship.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Actually, do you have you you got dark fishion, don't you?
I do have dark.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Thirteen?

Speaker 2 (15:57):
You see scarecrows?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Are they good scarecrows? Or are they bad?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Scar? Remember? Any uh?

Speaker 5 (16:08):

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Dang? Where is Bill's saying? There he is? There's Bill's book.
M that's same rural history Jack Historical Intelligence twelve you've

(16:33):

Speaker 8 (16:36):
Except where you were all jaws from? Huh, I can't
remember that. I know it's something d all something y'all
the one that had.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
No hand oh oh.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh the uh no, no, okay, no clapper jaw clapper
chap oh no, Now you you do remember that.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
You can't remember why specifically, but it's something you should
avoid being seen by the scarecrows.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
How many scarecrows are there.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You see about.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'd say about three, like probably about three of them,
but it is relatively tall grass.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
So I'm a sneak. I'm gonna tell Bill bar listen.
We can't be seen by these scarecrows. I don't know why,
but something tells me something bad will happen if they
see this.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
So yeah, go hey, he looks at you as us.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, let's do this, and he immediately disappears into into
he fades into the darkness.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Let's say, what do you.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Want to do? Crawl through?

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, roll a stealth check at advantage.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Until thirteen and ten.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's enough. That's saying you.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's saying like you are sneaking your way like past,
like through the grass and all that stuff, and you
hear the whispers like every and every time, like then
out of nowhere, lights turn on and it just.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
And it just starts scanning, like the eyes are on. Yeah,
that's something like something like that. It's like it's like
search lights. Yea, what do you do?

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm going wherever they're not like rolling around.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
In the grass roll a uh you a.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Doing well, acrobatics, doing athletics.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's twelve.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, that's saying you barely miss it.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
But you're where you're into the cover of night, you're
able to You're able to kind of keep out of
it and like sneak around to the point they are
not seeing you and you are make it past them
and start sneaking up at the stairs.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
In the little larch.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Sneaking up the stairs, say some kids.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, as you get past, you see a gnarl bridge
formed by tangled roots tree roots, span rocky and dried
up the river bread river bread.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm sorry, I'm talking.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, yeah, And you're all able to make it to
the entrance. Let's you see a.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
And you see a you see a door like at
the top as you're going up the stairs.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
And it is shut.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Can I put my ear up to the door and listen?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, real intelligence, I mean a investigation investigation eighteen Yeah, yeah,
you you put your ear up against the wall, up
against the door.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You don't hear anything.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
So I'm going to quietly try to quietly. Oh is
there any other else, like any other way to go
or is it just a door?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
You see the door.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I'm gonna try to quietly open the door, just barely
crack it open so I could look in.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, door opens it open slowly, and inside you see
a see.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, you see a chamber. And this chamber is nestled
between walls and twisted roots, through gaps in which you
can see the eerie, beautiful woodlands surrounding you. A closed
wooden door stands on the opposite side of the bridge. Well, okay,
you see a car, then you see a door on
the opposite side. From what it's telling me, a closed

(21:36):
wooden door stands on the opposit side of the root
bridge that leads to this room, in the center of
which are four armchairs and circled by a small table
laid out for a tea service. A wooden a painted
wooden box three feet on the side rest in the corner.
A crank.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Protrudes from one side of it, causing it to room
resemble oversized Jack in the Box.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I hate it because part of me is just like,
I don't want to steal the box. I don't want
to open the box. I want to steal it. But
so there's like a parlor and then there's a.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
Door, right, yeah, can I investigate the box?

Speaker 10 (22:25):
You can do an investigation, okay.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Eighteen Again, something seems off about the whole area itself,
including the box.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Something does not sit right. A few specifically, like the
furniture and the box do not seem right.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Where's the bar?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Bill is right behind you and he I.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Look at Bill, and I'm just like this scene weird?
Do you.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Good? Jump Bill? He takes a big whiff mimix great.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Slowly dance around and try to get to the door.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 11 (23:32):
Do a uh roll a uh roll a stealth a
advantage twenty two twenty two.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You and Bill are able to slowly sneak around that
same as you get That's like, as you're moving around
the room and all that stuff, it you can kind
of see like the that's saying, it's still relatively dark
in this area. It's just like it's it's evening time.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's still the jacks in the bottom.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
It's it is indeed the beginning time.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Like it's you're in the middle of the night and
you are, like it's saying, and if nothing is as
active as it is, but it's dark enough where you're
able to land in and you're able to sneak around
and get to the other side of and to where
the door is.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Again, I want to like put my ear up to
the door and listen, see if there's any kind of movement.
So the investigation good. Not twenty bitch plus five twenty five.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
You hear.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
What seems to be something like a few You hear
tapping like something like working on wood in the other room.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Can I slowly open the door to peep?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah? Okay, that's say you. You you opened the door
slowly and did I'm not saying The room itself is
seems to be filled with lanterns and row a uh
row a uh per second check.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Twenty two.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
You see uh you see three children gathered around a
wooden work uh work table. The eldest, a drawn boy,
prances on the table top of the bar, soap in
one hand, while a half one girl and a human
girl giggle at his audacity.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
The audacity. It's kind of like a billbo.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, no, here we go.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Flickering lanterns illuminate a cluttered workshop filled with soft ambient
music produced by bells and chimes. Part of the toys
are heaped on the tables, leering dolls, heads, half built
rocking horses, unpainted wooden balls, and stuffed limbs of soft toys,
a stove of black A stove at the back of

(26:23):
the room holds a saucepan of melting metal. Three doors
exit the workshop, and two store front windows overlook the
market outside. You see and then you see the three
kids are gathered around a wooden work table. The eldest
is a drowboy, prancings on the table with a bar

(26:44):
of soap in one hand, while the half one girl
and the human girl giggle at her.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Allbit his audacity.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's just like a bill barn light should be approached.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Let me see you, damn it, where's the kids?

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Did chill?

Speaker 5 (27:04):
What?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Bill look looks out over and says.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
He starts sniffing around, and he says, it smells safe
in here. But let's try. Let's see what we can
find out from these kids, okay. And and you all
slowly start entering the room, and the kids look at you,
all a little confused, both inquisited.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
I just kind of looking at him.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
I'm like the draft, especially the draw boy, because he's
not really seen another draft before.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Because I am draft and he's kind of walking on like, hello,
what are y'all doing?

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Well? The old the oldest, the the oldest guy looks
at you and goes, how how did you get in?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Very carefully?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I think why that's saying. And they looked a little confused,
like why are you here so we can get you now?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
They look a little confused and just like what because
they've they like they've been here for a while and
they are definitely perplexed of like why anyone to do it?
And they kind of look and you see them a
little start teary eyed, and it's just like, how can

(28:44):
you really get us out?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
We'll make sure I'm gonna try.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
And and Bill uh Bill walks up to them like
and he is a big hulking figure and he kneels
down in front of them at eye level.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
And Locan says, that's saying, we are here to rescue
all the kids and get the heck and defeat this hack.
Is there any information you all are willing to give
us to help rescue the others?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The the little girl looks kind of looks up said, well,
the others are.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's saying the others are locked up in other rooms.
I know there's one chained up somewhere around here, but
I'm not for sure where Mishka is room.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's that's even if they're awake at the moment, that's
saying we were.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
We were forced to stay awake and continue Granny's Granny's
work and to continue to keep to keep going.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
It's like that they pull and Bill pulls out out
a I think of it looks to be little snackcakes
and hands them each one.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
That says, we are going to get you out of here.
Do you like, do you all have anything that could
help us?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Do you know of Granny's weakness?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
No one knows Granny's weakness.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
But the little drow boy pulls out a key and says,
I have a key to the kitchen door that may.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Be able to help you. We've been using it to
try to survive and get food.

It's I know.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Also, she's been having us trying to like, she's trying
to make everybody miserable so she can get more boggle oil.
And the only way she's been doing that is you
gotta milk them.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
How do you milk a Google?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
We've seen her you, I guess you milk it like
a cow. You string it like a rag or something.
But it only comes from our misery.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Where can you find these boogles?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Do you find a like? If one of them are
truly miserable, you'll probably find a Google in a shadow
in its shadow?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, are you all truly miserable?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
You look? You look over there away a role Perception track.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Thirty twenty.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
You look at their shadows and something seems off about it.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
The bark their Shadowsok.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Weird?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
You see a Google, grab it and wring it?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
He like Bill meedly like where he is a shadow bear,
he immediately like picks up like he's able to like somehow,
he just fades in behind him and grabs all three
of the shadows and you see.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
What seems to be these.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
The best way to describe and like kind of like
miss like shadow creatures of like think of Princess and
the frog likes it's like his shadow and just like
like like a the form like more corrupted version of man.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, like yeah, so you man.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, he immediate like he pulls them up, immediately whips
out a bottle, puts it like puts it down the
ground and starts squeezing them out. And as like he sques,
you slowly kind of see like ink it like an
ink like.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Steps its drip into the bottle.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Sorry, And as he continued and as he does it,
he he pulls out a knife and the knife slowly
starts to like kind of keep like it kind of
glows silver a little bit, and he cuts it like

(34:20):
and he cuts the shadows and.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
They disappear like and they start to fade like they
like legit like dissipate kind of they disappear like Infinity
War style in game style that was a yeah, they like,
mister Stark, I'm not feeling good. Oh no, they and

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Bill goes over and looks and look like, goes over
to it, Mike and sees the window and goes over
and look, let's see what come on, Bill, give me
some goods? Why did the dice always give me something
good when I'm a DM but not when I play
my fucking characters?

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Because Flyman was cursed just for that horn.

snap the and sit looking around nothing here. You don't
hear anything at the moment he opens the window, looks down.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
And and he sees like the little merchants and all
that stuff there. It is dark down there, he maybe,
and he looks back. If we can get you out
of here, would you be able to make it on
your own to where we need you to go?

Speaker 1 (36:39):
The kids look over and they they look over and
starts they start like nodding their heads like and they
are looking scared. These are kids who have, like you know,
been enslave for as long as they can remember.

Little uh a little wind like little oak and he says, yes,
we can do that. We should like we should be
able to. And he pulls out and he pulls out
a ah like a like the same medallion that you
all communicate with, he said, and he whispers into it

(38:07):

jar of iridescent eyeglasses, glass eyes. You find a silver hammer,
hammer and chisel, and green leather in a green leather
tool belt. You find a pair of iron metal working
tongs that look like the jaws of a snapping dragon.

(45:20):
And as you were looking around, you were able to
see creepy toys that are displayed in the workshop windows.
You see a set of nesting dolls in which each
doll looks more frightened at the than the next larger one.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
You see a stuff lined with needles for teeth and
real bloodstains around.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Its jaws, that's fucked up.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
You see a toy windmill with a crank on one
side that turns the veins and the millstone. You see
a set of playing cards depicting weeping children. You see
a wind up drunkard doll that totters a few places
and then falls over. You find a a four fingered
puppet depicting an arguing family. A one foot tall wooden guillotine,

A narrow staircase as sends thee a cellular circular wall.
Near the foot of the stairs is a painted wooden

ten soldiers walking around while the rest of them are
in this room in those little houses.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Okay, so there's a patrol lab of four Yeah, okay,

while also there is the staircase.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Can I pull out the map.

Speaker 2 (54:52):

to be a head deeper into little lurch Kay, while
the door.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
To the side those uh.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Seems to like head towards what looks like to be
a just another another room that's like off by the
uh the outside.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Uh. I ask Bill, I'm like, do you wanna go further?
I don't want to check out this other.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
M he he He looks around and said, takes a whiff.

(56:02):
At the moment, it smells like there may be something upstairs,
something living.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
H Do you want to go upstairs? Bill?

Speaker 2 (56:13):
We can try.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
All right, let's try to go up these steps.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
So you as you get closer to the stairs, and
you start to see her start heading up the stairs.

(56:39):
As you get closer to the upstairs, as you sneak
roll roll another step checktae eighteen and roll a perception check.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Sixteen.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
As you get closer to the top of the stairs,
you see two three foot tall ten soldiers just standing
at the top of the stairs. But they are not
facing down the stairs. They are facing away.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
I can't ask how any points that they have. What's
in front of them? Is it a door?

Speaker 2 (57:31):
There's no door?

Speaker 3 (57:34):
You like? A Bill on the nth we want to
take them out.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
Bill looks over and says, we may be able to
it wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
As long as we can sneaker up on them quietly,
we may be able to assassinate them. Okay, So so
you will. So whatever you want to do, you will.
Your hits will have advantage on your hits where you're

(58:11):
sneaking and it's.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Dark, and where you are killing and assassinating.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
I will allow to act like I will allow double
the damage.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
So proceed as you wish.

Speaker 12 (58:44):
So I'm going to sneak up and I am going
to use water bullets on one of them.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Okay. So with water bullet, you create a sphere swirling
water that spits rapidly in your hand or mouth before
you hurl it at a creature within range.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
On a hit, the target takes bludgeting damage based on
how far it is away from me. So one at
ten feet's gonna be fivety six of damage.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Okay, So roll for hit at a band.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
That's suck.

Speaker 14 (59:26):
Fifteen to hit your hits, so I do double damage. Yeah,
so that is eighteen plus seventeen.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah, so you you immediately take one ounce and it's
thirty five damage.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
So yeah, Bill that's saying, does it? And Bill I
meaiately runs up, grabs.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Its hat and snaps it guye and rips its head off.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
I love water bullets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
And you as you get up there, you see this dormitory,
nestled in the trees bows, has a round.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Window overlooking a wooden balcony.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Uh leaning the walls are ten child saice bunks outfitted
with patchwork quilts and straw stuffed pillows. A young male
dwarflies in one of the bunks, coughing and drenched in sweat,
while an older lad mops his brow with the water.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Up from the bucket. Two doors exit the room. One
leads to the balcony, the other deeper into the tree.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Fifteen with the with the way that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
You know how poison is, you you can think that
if you do heal him, that if he would be
able to get if he would be able to get
treatment within five hours, he will be okay before he
goes into.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
A coma.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Like a Bill is like, can do you think we
can get them out? Like where are we looking at here?

Speaker 10 (01:07:54):
Bill looks, looks over, says, good possibility, if we can,
If we can, at least he'll him enough.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
He should be able to get out of here and
like get out of here to the rest of him.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
And so I'm gonna use cure wounds for how much
he healed for eleven?

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
Yeah, yeah, so he has a he's enough to where
he's able to like actually kind of get up and
it's just a mild at the moment. It's a mild
like irritation to where like you know, his.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Stomach is squeezing and all the stuff, but he's able
to move out. He's still in a bit of a sweat,
but he should be okay for now, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
Yeah, Like when I heal him, it's like this warm
purple light just coming out of my hands as I
placed my hands on him. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:08:49):
Yeah, and that's here, do a uh real.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
History check.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
Still that's a seven.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Seven Yeah, yeah, doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Yeah, so uh so as you uh so, you tell
the kids stuff, it's like you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Have a chance so far, like the rooms and you
tell them exactly how to escape.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Yea, and they are.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
And they're able to like they're able to get out there.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Okay, I look a pill. I'm like, okay, we'll go
further down these berks.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
You see a let.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Me see it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
I'm gonna find them back again. M yeah, so you okay,

(01:10:14):
So when you get to so you can either you
got two ways out. You can either take this. Uh
it looks to be like if you uh take the
door in front of you, it will.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Lead to back outside, but if you go back the
other way, it will take you back downstairs.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
I like I feel and I'm just kind of like,
we've got five kids out so far? Do we want
to get the rest or do enchance this and get caught?

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Roll a uh rural history check another another one?

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Play two.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
You remember that they're like after the conversation with with
the others like that you had when you were at
Little Oak, you remember that there is one eleven kids
that are still.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Here, there's still eleven there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
There no that there are eleven? You have rescued five five?

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Do we get the remaining six?

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
Bill looks at you said, this is this is up
to you. I'm here for support.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
That's so far we've it does seem it's been a
little too easy at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
But I don't want a chance this. I think that
we have gathered some information, and we have we should
go back that way we can talk to these kids
and get more knowledge of this place. So we need

(01:12:03):
to try to get the fuck out of here, because,
like you said, this has been a little too easy,
and I don't like that. I don't have a good feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Okay, So as you all that's saying, So you all
slowly start backing your.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Way through, and you as you all continue to get out,
you you all go back through the the like you're
you slowly start going your way back through, and you
see that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
You may not be able to do much inside. But
Bill says, if we if we we may not be
able to further inside, but if we get more information
on the outside in the terrain, we may be a
little east may benefit us in the long run.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
So you all continue to so it's like, do we
want to try to head outside and.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
See what we can find? Yeah, okay, so you know
that there are three ways too, at least two ways
to get out.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
You know, there's the way that you saw through, like
the workshop, and you knew and you and as you
look on the map, you see that at the moment
where you are are at there are currently three ways
to get out. You can either go through the you

(01:13:45):
could go through the barracks to that to that last
room that leads outside. There is one that through the.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Workshop, and there's one through the through the kids room
that you were just in.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
It's trying to kid through.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
Y'all.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Decide to go back up through the thing that you
go through down like down the steps in two dot files.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Here can I do a perception check that would be
spententeen twenty one to see to make sure like yeah,
to see what's around, to make sure there's nothing kind
of also sneaking in the shadows.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
As you get through, you don't see any scarecrows or
the names here.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
You know, he's a pretty big.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Yeah, that thing you're able to get through.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Okay, you don't see any Yes, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
You don't really see anything out there. You don't see
any scarecrows or.

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
See her.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Yeah. Well that's saying at the moment at the top
of this, you know what roll another what was your perception?

Speaker 14 (01:15:35):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Twenty two you see five, you see like when you
get outside, you see eight garden you see you see
like what lucid animal?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Some more animal? Pins you seem that, you see a.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
You see a compost heap, You see some looks to
be like a little thing of mushrooms and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
You see a pumpkin patch and you see some scarecrows
surrounding the pumpkin patch.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Definitely don't want to go through that pumpkin patch. I've
seen Sleepy Tallow too many times.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
So what are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:16:35):
Like a Bill Barr from, like, where do you think
our best places to go? But we want to avoid
the scarecrows for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Yeah, So as you all walking down, it looks as
you're looking in, you're gonna have to go through.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
The pumpkin patch to get out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
How many scarecrows are there?

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
There's five?

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
So how big are these pumpkins?

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
These are pretty good sized pumps, like they are very
like are.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
They human size? Humanoid size?

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
They look like you could easily hide behind them and
try to sneak through.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I don't sneak through this pumpkin patch, as Bill that's saying,
as your.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
Before we sneak through.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
I'm gonna hi Bill the map.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
I'm telling him to keep it safe, just to be safe,
because I know he can just go into shadow.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
So Bill, like while you're at the top of the stairs.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
Bill makes a copy of it and hides it again.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
At fifteen on still.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
You're able to sneak through the pumpkin patch. And as
as is going, you are able to. You do see
something sneaking around the pump compatch.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
As you walk by, you see a you see a
giant like you see a giant tail.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
Not the goddamn jabblwaukee no.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Row row a check or nature check whatever you think,
whatever you think it would be better.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Yeah, rebel tale that this is a it's a reptile tail,
but it's not that saying it's not jabblwakee.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Okay, I like it. I look at Bill and I
just kind of point.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Bill looks at it. He gets let's say, where it's
dark out.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
He kind of slowly, he's like coming in and out
of reality as the night.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
He looks. Think it's a snake.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
It's a giant snake.

Speaker 12 (01:19:04):
Snake took out with scarecrows and a snake.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
And he he sniffs in the air, and you see
his eyes kind of kind of flash like in and out,
and you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Can see they turn red. It's like there's something bigger.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Here, bigger, how much bigger?

Speaker 1 (01:19:38):
He looks over row, he points over and he uh
he points over at the compost heap.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Is that something's over there?

Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
Roly?

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Uh yeah, Roll a perception check.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
Thirty twenty thirty twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
You see that is indeed a creature.

Speaker 3 (01:20:11):
Oh, it's a creature.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Looks like to.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
Be something that you've heard of called a shambling mound.

Speaker 3 (01:20:18):
What the fuck's the shambling mound?

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
Shambling mound is kind of a so the compost heaps alive.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
Yes, that's gross. So it's kind of like a mimic,
but it's a compost heap.

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
Yeah, think of it as like a grass kind of
a like kind of a plant creature.

Speaker 3 (01:20:37):
Oh okay, damn I don't have light.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
So yeah, so I think Roll, you want to try
to sneak out here and head back.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
To little op Yeah little oh yeah, Roal stealth check
one more time, sixteen.

Speaker 5 (01:20:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
You you guys sneak through the patch, past the mound
and all that, and you all start heading back towards
and you start like heading back towards Little Woke, and
you're able to catch up to the scat to the
kids as they go further.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Okay, that was anxiety driven. I'm anxious.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
You get there. One kid seems to be missing.
