Just yet I'm distracted them and I'm trying to remember
what I'm like. I had some antic spells I was
supposed to use if we find this thing and try
to get rid of it.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Okay, okay, everybody, let's go back outside in the garden
really quickly.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
We didn't make it up to the door yet. We're
just kind of like, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.

You guys are approaching the.
Speaker 9 (02:18):
Okay, we had the do people really really quickly? Want

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Over all of you to assume that I wrote that down?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, why don't you go over that we drink a

Yes, we had It's okay.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Evil plans, I'll play randall.
Speaker 9 (02:47):
Will you eat this piece of paper when I'm done
with it?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Absolutely? No, I can. I can cute it.
Speaker 11 (02:57):
No.
Speaker 8 (02:57):
I want to see a made up too. Yeah, I'm
with I'm I'm with Umbra all right. So after because
so old Frank gave us those strength both potions, right right,
So while he is not a mister of physics, as
we've learned, what we're.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
Going to do is that we're going to get in there.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Our lore hold dear is going to go talk to
the family and just distract them. Well, you rogues are
going to go in and try to find where this
statue is, and me and Forte are going to kind
of keep a lay of the land, see what's going on,
(03:38):
what kind of keep bears and eyes open for Sorry, mom,
Forte and I are going to take a lay of
the land.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Thank you, while you.
Speaker 10 (03:51):
While you two go and try to like pick locks,
do you I believe you two were.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Taking the potions and then yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:00):
Bolts in order to lift this giant ast at you.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I don't know how big it is.
Speaker 10 (04:06):
It's pretty big, we know from what we got.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Uh, it's it's basically a life size granite statue of
a dwarf.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I forgot about that part.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
With what the what the symbol with the boot, with
the boot and the mace like symbol, Okay, yeah, and
it's probably gonna weigh about six hundred pounds, I think.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, So once you find it, you are actually not
taking the potions, Randrill and are going to dimension door
out of it if it's in a basement. If not,
they're gonna grand and somebody else are gonna take the
potions and I'm gonna hit you all with featherfall and
you're gonna drop out of a window.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
And then I guess.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
So underground, we go up, we get out through dimension door,
and the goal is to get back to the High
Priestess with this statue in Stutton to shes so she
could come back and be like, hey, I am rightful.
Let's restore the balance of equity in this town. No
(05:18):
pressure for a capstone project for a bunch of college students, right, Ah,
not at all.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I sound that way. This could go wrong.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Perfect plan ten out of ten, amazing.
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Okay, all right, every other other thought that I missed anything,
It's just.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Gonna say every other hair brain scheme we've come up
with is somehow worked, So let's go with it.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
Elivance goes and knocks on the nearest wooden item.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
All right, now you need to eat this paper and drill.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
He grabs the paper and just shoves it in his
cavernous maw and it starts downing it. It's it's kind
of like you ever watch a bird eat something where
they tilt their head back and like do that thing.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah, he does that this big.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
Just make that noise one more time.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Somebody clipped that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yep, yep sound board that's going on a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I don't know how you spell that.
Speaker 12 (06:22):
Girl.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yes, I'm gonna go to build a bear and put
that in one of the sound hearts.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
We need a stuffed rand roll.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Okay, all right, So you guys, now knowing the plan,
you guys head off to the bone shaper manner and yep.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yep, the boner the boner folk.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
We're going to boner house, boner hous.
Speaker 10 (06:56):

Speaker 9 (06:59):
I'm honestly shocked at because it's long to get there, rankly.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So you guys go there and it's like a it's
a party. There's a it's a fancy dress party. There's
mostly dwarfs dressed up nice kind of mingling, kind of
moving about. There's waiters walking around with our nerves, all
(07:26):
that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You do see a couple of.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Non dwarf in folk who seem to be like particularly popular,
or at least most of the Dwarfs seem to be
interested in talking to them.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And amongst them you see a David. Would you like
to describe yourself.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (07:48):
Yes, you see a figure who is draped in a
traveler's cloak that like completely encased in it, with a
very deep set hood and kind of shadowy thin. And
you see what looks to be like a wooden mask
over their face. But you also see this person's very
very thin looking.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
That's not ominous.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Immediate vibe check. What are we get in?
Speaker 12 (08:15):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Roll roll inside?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Oh yeah, I forget this is a game. But where
you have to roll? Dice?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yep, dice helps is that everybody inside? Anybody who wants
to sure.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Why not.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Fifteen? For Estrid got an eight?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We got it ten?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Sure did roll a four man?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You rolled all?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
So everybody but Astrid thinks that this guy looks kind
of skinny but pretty normal. Astred, you feel like something
might be off about him, vaguely off putting, not like
in an unpleasant way, but sort of an unfamiliar way.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah, it's like a scarecrow amongst the munchkins.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Sure, a little uncanny valley something like that.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yep, okay, imperceptibly like still like I'm not moving at all.
They don't like that, like your ex exactly.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
I'm trying to be invisible, Okay, slightly slightly off but
not but not off, slightly off but not dangerous.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
The threat not a threat okay, well you don't know yet.
Not a threat. No, it's true, not enough.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
He doesn't feel threatening, he doesn't feel actively threatening currently.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Well, he does look like we could snap him in half, so.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's necessary. We are not doing that right now.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Murder is planned c today, No.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I know that.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'm just saying I want plans. See you there if
we need it.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Who is our Who is this new interesting person talking.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
To he's talking.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
There's a bunch of like a bunch of the fancier
dwarfs trying to.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Mingle with him.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He appears to be a little bit awkward with them,
like he might not want to be a part of
that group.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Does he have any visible insignias or anything like that?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The veil so.
Speaker 13 (10:38):
Yeah, just a very kind of well loved traveler's cloak.
Like it hangs to the floor. You can't really see
my feet. And again that hood is very deep set,
and you do make out the outline of a wooden mask,
and it's a very rough wooden mask without a mouth
carved into it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh, even worse.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Okay, I'm gonna Steer who's holding the uh the basket,
the goodie basket.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
Randall, because he's gonna be the one that wants to
talk for ye.
Speaker 11 (11:09):
Okay, alrighty, I'm gonna take Randall by his hand. Now,
look at Astrod and Brandan. I go, why don't you
guys go introduce to yourselves to our fun new friend. Well,
I'm gonna go help Randall talk to someone that's not that.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
Guy and like usher away all all.
Speaker 11 (11:29):
Of deliverance and stuff is just going off right now.
That is the nope, the nopele alarm in her brain.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So yeah, So, as you guys are coming getting into
the party, uh, within the group that your new friend
is or the new mysterious person is, there's a there's
a waiter that comes over with or DERs your little
(11:59):
crackers with something on top of them. Most of the
other dwarfs in the area that are trying to speak
to him, all grab one, mister mysterious man. Do you
also grab one or not?
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (12:14):
So you see the cloak part just slightly, and all
of a sudden, an order disappears beneath the cloak.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh call us roll perception. Yeah, all of those.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
But sixteen for Asted seven.
Speaker 14 (12:37):
Fifteen for Umbre.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Okay, so Astrad and Umber, you both notice that Forte,
this guy just seems pretty normal, if not a little skinny.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
Did it looked like he ate it with his where
a mouth would normally be?
Speaker 9 (12:57):
I go under there?
Speaker 14 (13:00):
Do we see like a hand go up through the
cloak and be like my mo? So so also did
we hear him saying.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
So, I'm gonna say that, like for those of you
who like noticed, you notice that like I lifted the
order to the mask, lifted the mask up slightly to
jam it into my mouth, and pulled the mask back down.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Okay, cool between.
Speaker 15 (13:26):
The mouth not having a or the mask not having
a mouth and you just pulling it into the cloak.
Speaker 14 (13:31):
As far as I knew, I was like, damn, does this.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Dude not have a mouth?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But now I understand.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I think we should introduce ourselves.
Speaker 16 (13:42):
Somebody might be this seems really cool from Umbra's perspective,
like there's this is exactly the kind of like mysterious
man that I needed.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
In my life.
Speaker 15 (13:54):
Anyway, Yeah, yeah, I'm down for meeting this mysterious cloaked figure.

And there's a bunch of chatter about about him, but
he's not around interesting. And then suddenly, from atop the
like balcony by this grand staircase right around here, you

is braided in what we would call French braids. There's
little beads mixed around in the bait in the in
the braids.
Speaker 12 (24:55):

He's got like a buttoned up military style backet with
epaulets on the side that are stitched in like to
his neck like Michael Jackson. Things going there, kind of
like a Michael Jackson, Yes, very much. Yeah, it's somewhere between.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, it's somewhere between Black Parade and Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Very very different spectrums.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But are when I was a young dwarf, Pilly June
arms rang sorry, yes, yes, oh, I'll leave.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Uh, And everybody just looks at him when he says
welcome friends and newcomers to my manner to this heartstone festival. Ah,
please help yourselves to orders, mingle party, be merry amongst yourselves,
(26:09):
and let us all embrace in the glory that is
Stonehelm well.
Speaker 13 (26:14):
Child does a very awkward stiff bow.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I'll clap, Randel checks anybody else clapping besides my friends,
I'm going to join in.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Most most everybody else has like risen their drinks as
if it was a toast.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Hell yeah, Randel does the mock lift your drink thing
that you do when you don't have.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
A drink.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
When you have just arrived at the party.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
As you do that, a dwarf with like an orange
vest on runs over to you and offers you a drink.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Oh, I fucking take that thing straight up, straight up into.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
The toes as as well. I'll gently take one and
thank them, thank you.
Speaker 11 (27:18):
I'm gonna try and like also commit that face to
memory to see if.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
He possibly could come in handy later.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
M sure, I'm gonna go ahead and take a drink
as well.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
But you see me pull out a wooden straw and
speak it in the drink and then shove under the mask.
And you notice that my hands are very very thin,
and they're greenish brown with wrappings on them.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
M you gonna call you, call you shambles. No, do
you guys do a sorry lot of beer?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Do you notice that most of the most of the
other waiters have black vests on, and only your waiter
that gave you your drinks have as an orange.
Speaker 11 (28:05):
I'm assuming that this means that it's the it's the
human slash not alcoholic.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Side of things.
Speaker 11 (28:17):
It's he gives us the drink, I'm gonna take it, like,
take his hand as he's giving me the drink.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Go.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I have your name, darling. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 11 (28:27):
I just feel like we should introduce ourselves since they're
gonna be serving us for the rest.
Speaker 12 (28:30):
Of the night.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Hi, my name's Tom Nook.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 11 (28:37):
It's so nice that they thought of us here, and
even nicer to get such a lovely face as yourself
taking care of us.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
He smiles and you see that like he has like.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Chipped teeth and is like they're they're not white, they're
like dirty blacky teeth, yellowed.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
I feel called out.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, I am sorry. Kevin a joke.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
This is our waiter, Kevin the Dwarf.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
Never.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
We love him.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I can just tell.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I'm speaking to the dwarf.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
The waiter.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Yeah, the waiter, the waiter.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
I'm nice to meet you.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (29:29):
We all like somehow also ended up together as well.
Now since we split off a little bit, yeah, we
kind of grab.
Speaker 12 (29:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, you get the you get the feeling with Tumnuk
here that ah, the whole thought of having non dwarf
or DERs and drinks was just uh.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Kind of an afterthought.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Fand Street.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
They well, they just they just found like, you know,
all the fancier looking waiters were.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
Best.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah, vest.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
So we can find him. Oh no, we're the gluten
free table at the wedding.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yep.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
Uh uh.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Also, okay, not to be paranoid, I kind of like
a kick forte real quick. I'm like with Astard, Hey,
this is probably a paranoid thought, but this guy is
gonna be essentially watching us pretty much all night because
either one he's been asked to because he's just like
a nice servant guy that's gonna be our waiter, or
(30:53):
two he's supposed to because we're strangers in the house
that aren't dwarves. So like, maybe we should just pass
that information around if about to do some sketchy shit.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I also feel like a couple of us. You keep
him very busy with the drink orders while the folks
that need to sneak around. I'm saying this quietly, by
the way, the folks that need to sneak around you
can sneak around like we can.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You know, you're like, can't have.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Another drink, cat, another drink, cab, another drink. I mean,
admittedly I may end up so sauced I can't use
my dimensional door.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
But but just Poorman through a plant or something.
Speaker 13 (31:34):
Okay, great, you see Shall pull out another straw because
now he's double strawing his drink.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Just get more lagrim.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
Goodness, this is gonna go great?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
All right?
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Can you just pass that around Forte Just that I thought.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
Yeah, he'll be watching this. Yeah, saw my li like
with everyone, Uh does just say hey, the way it's
can be watching us. We need to find how we
go about this.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Randall gives a thumbs up.
Speaker 13 (32:11):
I have no idea what's going on, So Shall gives
a thumbs up back to Randall.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
So the guy that uh, what's the name of the
guy that's doing this party, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Uh, fiskrum, what was it against biscrum? Biscrum biscum, biscrum
bone shaper, shaper, master bonetcha biscum bone shaper.
Speaker 14 (32:38):
That sounds like a really old way of saying chiropractor.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
And don't forget.
Speaker 10 (32:48):
There's the daughter Nora Lene that might be amenable to us.
And uh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Do we see anybody who could be the daughter?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Mm hmm, Well you see several female dwarfs around around
like just the party. He kind of made his own grand.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Entrances got the basket again.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And he goes talking about the glory of Stonehelm and
all that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Have you guys noticed, did anybody hear his speech? He
called the festival a different thing than you guys?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Yeah, he said Heartstone festival.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
So he said the Heartstone festival. And you were told
it was called the Stoneheart Festival.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Oh oh, I did write that different?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Interesting not at the first multi multiplicity thing we've had
with this town.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Who did we hear it called stone Hard Festival?
Speaker 8 (34:01):
The blacks the mother smith told us it was a
Stoneheart festival, right, the one who's on our side?
Speaker 11 (34:07):
That one?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I was, Yeah, I think so yep, yeap.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Hey maybe Randall, Uh, it's time to get some some
notes on the history of this place.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yep, I'm working on I've got the basket. I'm gonna
go and introduce my soul and you guys can get started.
Just you know, as soon as you see us engaged.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I was gonna I was gonna suggest, why don't you
scope the area out? Well, I try to put a
as they're talking, I'm hoping maybe I could get a
point in the direction of where I don't know, religious
figure of iconography would be in a household like this,
maybe some other directions, maybe even when the bathroom is
a wink wink.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right, So as you walk around, you find a
dwarf amenable to you. They point to like a little
room off of the kitchen as to where the bathroom
would be.
Speaker 12 (35:15):
Where's the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah, one second, Yeah, I forgot about that heart. Yeah,
so there's a little it's basically like right here. So
the bathroom is like next to the kitchen. Okay, it's
not really on the map, but so they point that
(35:40):
to you.
Speaker 15 (35:41):
So all of the none of them specifically look like
his daughter that I can tell not.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You can roll an investigation check.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
Didn't one of us get a description of her? While
we were at the tailor's place, we.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Did we got clothing that we were going to use
jor would you want.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
To you would have advantage of this?
Speaker 6 (36:05):
That just sounds legit to me.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
You said, it's such confidence.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
We're rolling investigation, gain perception.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Everything, would investigation because you know what you're looking for.
It's not just randomly okay, boughting something.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Hey, that's better. I was like, that's a talking point
for us later.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
So either way, all right, so yes, you you do notice,
uh you don't notice a girl matching that prescription description?
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Not prescription damn?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (36:49):
Would I be able to tell if they're up to something?
Can I do an insight check just to get a
vibe check on that these guys?
Speaker 7 (36:55):
Yeah, checking me?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you vibe check come back?
Speaker 12 (37:02):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (37:03):
Not great?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Okay, So yeah, you get the you get the feeling
that they've been kind of paying extra attention to you.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Okay, all right, so what brings you guys here?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
You definitely you definitely get the feeling that, uh, you
definitely get the feeling that Umbra, the dwarf amongst them,
because you said that he's not always a dwarf, is
definitely vibing with you.
Speaker 13 (37:31):
But now I refresh my memory did Umbra introduce themselves
as Umbra or did they introduce themselves as the dwarf.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Form umber What did you? How did you introduce yourself to.
Speaker 15 (37:45):
Well, I introduced myself. I've been in the dwarf form
this whole time. But yeah, when I introduced myself, remember
I said, like, I don't always look like.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
This, Like right, but what name did you use?
Speaker 14 (37:56):
Oh? Yeah, I guess I didn't.
Speaker 15 (38:00):
Uh, I've just been going by Duembra, right.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yes, so Dumbra.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
That's an interesting name. How'd you come across that name? Well,
it is an hereditary Is it part of your family?
Speaker 15 (38:17):
No, it's not a family name. My mom and dad
went a little bit different with this one. They kind
of mixed.
Speaker 14 (38:26):
A few different tongues.
Speaker 12 (38:28):
If you will, I.
Speaker 5 (38:30):

Speaker 7 (38:34):
Reminds me of an old friend named Tubs named two

Father, I'm sorry, what if you come from a monastery,
does that mean I have to call you father?
Speaker 7 (40:20):
I never.
Speaker 13 (40:22):
If the mask could blush, you would see the wood
turn into a nice rosewood.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
I never rose that high among the ranks. Unfortunately.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
That he's fine.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
So yeah, daddy. In other words, okay.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
It's.
Speaker 14 (40:43):
No that works. That trust me, that that works.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Astro and Forte role history checks so that you know
what happened to Randall's monastery.

Words than what I'm hearing right now, day, Okay, real quick.
Randaw's monastery is still there.

similar to when ace Ventura left the monastery in two.

sorry here about the your is that? Is that what
prompted your travel?
Speaker 13 (41:48):
Kind of It's it's a very long story, very complicated.
I don't I don't know if we need to kill
the momentum here, but maybe we'll get into it another time.
So of course, it just seems like you're you're preoccupied
with something. Is there anything that I can do to help?
I I try to help people where I can.
Speaker 8 (42:11):
As her looks at her companions that are still there, like,
how much are we saying to this new man?
Speaker 14 (42:18):
Whatever you want?
Speaker 8 (42:22):
I look to Forte because I no longer trust umber's judgment.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
Uh oh, this is great, it's real.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
I look for mom. I don't know where she went.
Speaker 5 (42:37):

Yeah oh okay, no, I mean I was gonna say
that she had she probably would have decent smell, but maybe.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
Responding to this would be wretching.

As a mortician, an educated guess as to that there

be something off here.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Uh, it's it's basically a life size granite statue of
a dwarf.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I forgot about that part.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
With what the what the symbol with the boot, with
the boot and the mace like symbol, Okay, yeah, and
it's probably gonna weigh about six hundred pounds, I think.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, So once you find it, you are actually not
taking the potions, Randrill and are going to dimension door
out of it if it's in a basement. If not,
they're gonna grand and somebody else are gonna take the
potions and I'm gonna hit you all with featherfall and
you're gonna drop out of a window.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
And then I guess.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
So underground, we go up, we get out through dimension door,
and the goal is to get back to the High
Priestess with this statue in Stutton to shes so she
could come back and be like, hey, I am rightful.
Let's restore the balance of equity in this town. No
(05:18):
pressure for a capstone project for a bunch of college students, right, Ah,
not at all.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I sound that way. This could go wrong.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Perfect plan ten out of ten, amazing.
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Okay, all right, every other other thought that I missed anything,
It's just.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Gonna say every other hair brain scheme we've come up
with is somehow worked, So let's go with it.
Speaker 11 (05:41):
Elivance goes and knocks on the nearest wooden item.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
All right, now you need to eat this paper and drill.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
He grabs the paper and just shoves it in his
cavernous maw and it starts downing it. It's it's kind
of like you ever watch a bird eat something where
they tilt their head back and like do that thing.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah, he does that this big.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
Just make that noise one more time.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Somebody clipped that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yep, yep sound board that's going on a T shirt.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I don't know how you spell that.
Speaker 12 (06:22):
Girl.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yes, I'm gonna go to build a bear and put
that in one of the sound hearts.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
We need a stuffed rand roll.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Okay, all right, So you guys, now knowing the plan,
you guys head off to the bone shaper manner and yep.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yep, the boner the boner folk.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
We're going to boner house, boner hous.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
I'm honestly shocked at because it's long to get there, rankly.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So you guys go there and it's like a it's
a party. There's a it's a fancy dress party. There's
mostly dwarfs dressed up nice kind of mingling, kind of
moving about. There's waiters walking around with our nerves, all
(07:26):
that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
You do see a couple of.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Non dwarf in folk who seem to be like particularly popular,
or at least most of the Dwarfs seem to be
interested in talking to them.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And amongst them you see a David. Would you like
to describe yourself.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (07:48):
Yes, you see a figure who is draped in a
traveler's cloak that like completely encased in it, with a
very deep set hood and kind of shadowy thin. And
you see what looks to be like a wooden mask
over their face. But you also see this person's very
very thin looking.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
That's not ominous.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Immediate vibe check. What are we get in?
Speaker 12 (08:15):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Roll roll inside?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Oh yeah, I forget this is a game. But where
you have to roll? Dice?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yep, dice helps is that everybody inside? Anybody who wants
to sure.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Why not.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Fifteen? For Estrid got an eight?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We got it ten?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Sure did roll a four man?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You rolled all?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
So everybody but Astrid thinks that this guy looks kind
of skinny but pretty normal. Astred, you feel like something
might be off about him, vaguely off putting, not like
in an unpleasant way, but sort of an unfamiliar way.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah, it's like a scarecrow amongst the munchkins.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
Sure, a little uncanny valley something like that.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Yep, okay, imperceptibly like still like I'm not moving at all.
They don't like that, like your ex exactly.
Speaker 8 (09:28):
I'm trying to be invisible, Okay, slightly slightly off but
not but not off, slightly off but not dangerous.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
The threat not a threat okay, well you don't know yet.
Not a threat. No, it's true, not enough.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
He doesn't feel threatening, he doesn't feel actively threatening currently.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
Well, he does look like we could snap him in half, so.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It's necessary. We are not doing that right now.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Murder is planned c today, No.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I know that.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'm just saying I want plans. See you there if
we need it.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Who is our Who is this new interesting person talking.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
To he's talking.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
There's a bunch of like a bunch of the fancier
dwarfs trying to.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Mingle with him.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He appears to be a little bit awkward with them,
like he might not want to be a part of
that group.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Does he have any visible insignias or anything like that?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The veil so.
Speaker 13 (10:38):
Yeah, just a very kind of well loved traveler's cloak.
Like it hangs to the floor. You can't really see
my feet. And again that hood is very deep set,
and you do make out the outline of a wooden mask,
and it's a very rough wooden mask without a mouth
carved into it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Oh, even worse.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Okay, I'm gonna Steer who's holding the uh the basket,
the goodie basket.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
Randall, because he's gonna be the one that wants to
talk for ye.
Speaker 11 (11:09):
Okay, alrighty, I'm gonna take Randall by his hand. Now,
look at Astrod and Brandan. I go, why don't you
guys go introduce to yourselves to our fun new friend. Well,
I'm gonna go help Randall talk to someone that's not that.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
Guy and like usher away all all.
Speaker 11 (11:29):
Of deliverance and stuff is just going off right now.
That is the nope, the nopele alarm in her brain.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So yeah, So, as you guys are coming getting into
the party, uh, within the group that your new friend
is or the new mysterious person is, there's a there's
a waiter that comes over with or DERs your little
(11:59):
crackers with something on top of them. Most of the
other dwarfs in the area that are trying to speak
to him, all grab one, mister mysterious man. Do you
also grab one or not?
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (12:14):
So you see the cloak part just slightly, and all
of a sudden, an order disappears beneath the cloak.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh call us roll perception. Yeah, all of those.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
But sixteen for Asted seven.
Speaker 14 (12:37):
Fifteen for Umbre.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Okay, so Astrad and Umber, you both notice that Forte,
this guy just seems pretty normal, if not a little skinny.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
Did it looked like he ate it with his where
a mouth would normally be?
Speaker 9 (12:57):
I go under there?
Speaker 14 (13:00):
Do we see like a hand go up through the
cloak and be like my mo? So so also did
we hear him saying.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
So, I'm gonna say that, like for those of you
who like noticed, you notice that like I lifted the
order to the mask, lifted the mask up slightly to
jam it into my mouth, and pulled the mask back down.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Okay, cool between.
Speaker 15 (13:26):
The mouth not having a or the mask not having
a mouth and you just pulling it into the cloak.
Speaker 14 (13:31):
As far as I knew, I was like, damn, does this.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Dude not have a mouth?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But now I understand.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
I think we should introduce ourselves.
Speaker 16 (13:42):
Somebody might be this seems really cool from Umbra's perspective,
like there's this is exactly the kind of like mysterious
man that I needed.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
In my life.
Speaker 15 (13:54):
Anyway, Yeah, yeah, I'm down for meeting this mysterious cloaked figure.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
Do we have a mature rating on this podcast yet?
Just checking?
Speaker 13 (23:32):
Oh, I was talking about stories. I was talking about
stories in a household. I've always been partial to the bottom.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Ah, are you open a switching It's easier to get off.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
I mean, I suppose I am kind of versatile about
these things.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Wonder, anyway, do we find the people in the Uh?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, so you you head into the house. You get
you guys can head into the house and you're looking
around for Fiscram, the host of the party.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
I'm guessing, and there is absolutely fanciest man.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yes, uh.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
And there's a bunch of chatter about about him, but
he's not around interesting. And then suddenly, from atop the
like balcony by this grand staircase right around here, you
(24:33):
see just the fanciest dwarf you've ever seen. His beard
is braided in what we would call French braids. There's
little beads mixed around in the bait in the in
the braids.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
He's got like a buttoned up military style backet with
epaulets on the side that are stitched in like to
his neck like Michael Jackson. Things going there, kind of
like a Michael Jackson, Yes, very much. Yeah, it's somewhere between.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, it's somewhere between Black Parade and Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Very very different spectrums.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But are when I was a young dwarf, Pilly June
arms rang sorry, yes, yes, oh, I'll leave.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Uh, And everybody just looks at him when he says
welcome friends and newcomers to my manner to this heartstone festival. Ah,
please help yourselves to orders, mingle party, be merry amongst yourselves,
(26:09):
and let us all embrace in the glory that is
Stonehelm well.
Speaker 13 (26:14):
Child does a very awkward stiff bow.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I'll clap, Randel checks anybody else clapping besides my friends,
I'm going to join in.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Most most everybody else has like risen their drinks as
if it was a toast.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Hell yeah, Randel does the mock lift your drink thing
that you do when you don't have.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
A drink.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
When you have just arrived at the party.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
As you do that, a dwarf with like an orange
vest on runs over to you and offers you a drink.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Oh, I fucking take that thing straight up, straight up into.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
The toes as as well. I'll gently take one and
thank them, thank you.
Speaker 11 (27:18):
I'm gonna try and like also commit that face to
memory to see if.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
He possibly could come in handy later.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
M sure, I'm gonna go ahead and take a drink
as well.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
But you see me pull out a wooden straw and
speak it in the drink and then shove under the mask.
And you notice that my hands are very very thin,
and they're greenish brown with wrappings on them.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
M you gonna call you, call you shambles. No, do
you guys do a sorry lot of beer?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Do you notice that most of the most of the
other waiters have black vests on, and only your waiter
that gave you your drinks have as an orange.
Speaker 11 (28:05):
I'm assuming that this means that it's the it's the
human slash not alcoholic.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Side of things.
Speaker 11 (28:17):
It's he gives us the drink, I'm gonna take it, like,
take his hand as he's giving me the drink.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Go.

or DERs and drinks was just uh.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Kind of an afterthought.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Fand Street.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
They well, they just they just found like, you know,
all the fancier looking waiters were.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
Best.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah, vest.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
So we can find him. Oh no, we're the gluten
free table at the wedding.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yep.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
Uh uh.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Also, okay, not to be paranoid, I kind of like
a kick forte real quick. I'm like with Astard, Hey,
this is probably a paranoid thought, but this guy is
gonna be essentially watching us pretty much all night because
either one he's been asked to because he's just like
a nice servant guy that's gonna be our waiter, or
(30:53):
two he's supposed to because we're strangers in the house
that aren't dwarves. So like, maybe we should just pass
that information around if about to do some sketchy shit.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I also feel like a couple of us. You keep
him very busy with the drink orders while the folks
that need to sneak around. I'm saying this quietly, by
the way, the folks that need to sneak around you
can sneak around like we can.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You know, you're like, can't have.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Another drink, cat, another drink, cab, another drink. I mean,
admittedly I may end up so sauced I can't use
my dimensional door.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
But but just Poorman through a plant or something.
Speaker 13 (31:34):
Okay, great, you see Shall pull out another straw because
now he's double strawing his drink.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Just get more lagrim.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
Goodness, this is gonna go great?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
All right?
Speaker 12 (31:51):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Can you just pass that around Forte Just that I thought.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
Yeah, he'll be watching this. Yeah, saw my li like
with everyone, Uh does just say hey, the way it's
can be watching us. We need to find how we
go about this.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Randall gives a thumbs up.
Speaker 13 (32:11):
I have no idea what's going on, So Shall gives
a thumbs up back to Randall.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
So the guy that uh, what's the name of the
guy that's doing this party, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Uh, fiskrum, what was it against biscrum? Biscrum biscum, biscrum
bone shaper, shaper, master bonetcha biscum bone shaper.
Speaker 14 (32:38):
That sounds like a really old way of saying chiropractor.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
And don't forget.
Speaker 10 (32:48):
There's the daughter Nora Lene that might be amenable to us.
And uh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Do we see anybody who could be the daughter?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Mm hmm, Well you see several female dwarfs around around
like just the party. He kind of made his own grand.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Entrances got the basket again.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And he goes talking about the glory of Stonehelm and
all that.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Have you guys noticed, did anybody hear his speech? He
called the festival a different thing than you guys?
Speaker 9 (33:32):
Yeah, he said Heartstone festival.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
So he said the Heartstone festival. And you were told
it was called the Stoneheart Festival.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Oh oh, I did write that different?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Interesting not at the first multi multiplicity thing we've had
with this town.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Who did we hear it called stone Hard Festival?
Speaker 8 (34:01):
The blacks the mother smith told us it was a
Stoneheart festival, right, the one who's on our side?
Speaker 11 (34:07):
That one?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I was, Yeah, I think so yep, yeap.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Hey maybe Randall, Uh, it's time to get some some
notes on the history of this place.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yep, I'm working on I've got the basket. I'm gonna
go and introduce my soul and you guys can get started.
Just you know, as soon as you see us engaged.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
I was gonna I was gonna suggest, why don't you
scope the area out? Well, I try to put a
as they're talking, I'm hoping maybe I could get a
point in the direction of where I don't know, religious
figure of iconography would be in a household like this,
maybe some other directions, maybe even when the bathroom is
a wink wink.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right, So as you walk around, you find a
dwarf amenable to you. They point to like a little
room off of the kitchen as to where the bathroom
would be.
Speaker 12 (35:15):
Where's the kitchen?
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Yeah, one second, Yeah, I forgot about that heart. Yeah,
so there's a little it's basically like right here. So
the bathroom is like next to the kitchen. Okay, it's
not really on the map, but so they point that
(35:40):
to you.
Speaker 15 (35:41):
So all of the none of them specifically look like
his daughter that I can tell not.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You can roll an investigation check.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
Didn't one of us get a description of her? While
we were at the tailor's place, we.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
Did we got clothing that we were going to use
jor would you want.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
To you would have advantage of this?
Speaker 6 (36:05):
That just sounds legit to me.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
You said, it's such confidence.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
We're rolling investigation, gain perception.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Everything, would investigation because you know what you're looking for.
It's not just randomly okay, boughting something.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Hey, that's better. I was like, that's a talking point
for us later.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
So either way, all right, so yes, you you do notice,
uh you don't notice a girl matching that prescription description?
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Not prescription damn?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Uh?
Speaker 13 (36:49):
Would I be able to tell if they're up to something?
Can I do an insight check just to get a
vibe check on that these guys?
Speaker 7 (36:55):
Yeah, checking me?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, you vibe check come back?
Speaker 12 (37:02):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (37:03):
Not great?
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Okay, So yeah, you get the you get the feeling
that they've been kind of paying extra attention to you.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Okay, all right, so what brings you guys here?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
You definitely you definitely get the feeling that, uh, you
definitely get the feeling that Umbra, the dwarf amongst them,
because you said that he's not always a dwarf, is
definitely vibing with you.
Speaker 13 (37:31):
But now I refresh my memory did Umbra introduce themselves
as Umbra or did they introduce themselves as the dwarf.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Form umber What did you? How did you introduce yourself to.
Speaker 15 (37:45):
Well, I introduced myself. I've been in the dwarf form
this whole time. But yeah, when I introduced myself, remember
I said, like, I don't always look like.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
This, Like right, but what name did you use?
Speaker 14 (37:56):
Oh? Yeah, I guess I didn't.
Speaker 15 (38:00):
Uh, I've just been going by Duembra, right.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yes, so Dumbra.
Speaker 7 (38:08):
That's an interesting name. How'd you come across that name? Well,
it is an hereditary Is it part of your family?
Speaker 15 (38:17):
No, it's not a family name. My mom and dad
went a little bit different with this one. They kind
of mixed.
Speaker 14 (38:26):
A few different tongues.
Speaker 12 (38:28):
If you will, I.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Will not thank you.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Reminds me of an old friend named Tubs named two
what those who know?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Now?
Speaker 14 (38:46):
Did you say what I thought you said?
Speaker 7 (38:48):

you of that, because I don't.

good friend of mine and I met this a lot,
so just kidding. I I appreciate you talking to me.
It's it's been a while since I've been out and about.
Speaker 14 (39:11):
To talk to people, and you know, it shows.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
Yeah, I'm kind of awkward. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I apologize.

does that mean I have to call you father?
Speaker 7 (40:20):
I never.
Speaker 13 (40:22):
If the mask could blush, you would see the wood
turn into a nice rosewood.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
I never rose that high among the ranks. Unfortunately.
Speaker 9 (40:34):
That he's fine.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
So yeah, daddy. In other words, okay.
Speaker 7 (40:41):

Speaker 13 (41:48):
Kind of It's it's a very long story, very complicated.
I don't I don't know if we need to kill
the momentum here, but maybe we'll get into it another time.
So of course, it just seems like you're you're preoccupied
with something. Is there anything that I can do to help?
I I try to help people where I can.
Speaker 8 (42:11):
As her looks at her companions that are still there, like,
how much are we saying to this new man?
Speaker 14 (42:18):

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Uh oh, this is great, it's real.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
I look for mom. I don't know where she went.
