Show Notes Transcript

Negotiations with the Segadian Council have gone well, and our three adventurers are being seen in a more positive light. 
Though as the day draws to an end and the crowded streets and markets begin to empty, our Pathfinders are left facing off against a group of sinister cloaked figures, hidden behind masks bearing the image of an owl...

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Last time on Savage Bear Society

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Well, just as something goes in our favour, this place shows once again that it is full of secrets.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
We had a rather successful meeting with the council, but now travelling back to our accommodation,

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
we find ourselves in a sticky spot with some masked figures in an alleyway.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Hopefully they're just after our money.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
[Music]

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:44,000
They step forwards and you realise they're wearing this long black cloak,

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
and their face is hidden behind a mask that looks like an owl.

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
No, she won't need to worry.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Not if we bring them the pathfinder's heads.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And I think we should roll for initiative.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Alright, battle music is on.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Let's go, let's go.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Let's start with Babacl.

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Don't start!

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Right!

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I got 15.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
15 for Babacl.

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Bo'Boakl.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
That's alright, look, if I just kill your character, I went after worry about it.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
[Laughter]

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We'll be that a listen to anyone who joins us again.

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
If your character's name is too hard to pronounce, I will try and actively kill her.

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The tragic, a good, hearty name.

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Exactly, take a leaf out of luck and mind your own.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yeah, name yourself after things I may find.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Exactly.

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
The tragic got a 22 using perception.

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Oh, 22 using perception, awesome and thin bile.

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Thinble got a 15.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
A 15.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Fantastic.

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
The tragic with a 22, you're going second, as it is one of these guys turns burst.

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Is that only two of them?

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
There's only two of them.

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Two of these figures.

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
That concerns me.

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
From an unknown space.

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Actually, everyone give me a perception check.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
A proper one.

41
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
No, 20.

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
20?

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
10.

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
7.

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Babacl.

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Babacl.

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
You see.

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
You see, thank you.

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
You know what?

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
You don't see anything.

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Fuck you.

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
No, you see.

53
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
You see as the one at the back pulls out the composite longbow.

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
They pull an arrow out of an unknown pocket of reality.

55
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
You catch a glimpse.

56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
There are other two's untrained eye.

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
They see it as just appearing out of air,

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
but you see it appearing out of

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
purpley black smoke with a sprinkle of galaxies.

60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Does it seem like this thing has appeared from an object

61
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
that is containing this purpley black smoke?

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Or is it just like they've created some kind of rift?

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Give me an arcane check.

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Arcane plus nine.

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
It's only a 12.

66
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Yeah, you're not quite sure.

67
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
You're not sure if this is like some magical item that

68
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
stores perhaps arrows or if they literally pulled it from, you know,

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
another plane of existence, you're not sure.

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
The arrow itself just looks mundane.

71
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Okay.

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Doesn't, but it seems to be like an alternative place to store arrows.

73
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
But quickly, locks an arrow, pulls it back, and is going to fire.

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
You see on their hips as they do so you can see short swords.

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
First shot.

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
At a minus two as you're inside the volley outside of the volley range,

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
a 19 against the dimple.

78
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
That'll just hit.

79
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Just hit.

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
All right.

81
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
You take three damage, but as this hits,

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
oh, actually don't worry.

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Don't worry.

84
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
This arrow hits you.

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Nothing else happens.

86
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Oh, no.

87
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
They're going to take, I think they're just going to keep pulling arrows.

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Does it hurt?

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
It does hurt.

90
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You take three damage.

91
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,000
It hurts.

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Three piercing damage.

93
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
The arrow is going to go towards you.

94
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
That's going to be a complete miss.

95
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
And the last one, ooh, it's going to be minus eight.

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But I think that's still going to get, oh, I know that's a 17.

97
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
That'll miss.

98
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
17 on the money, because with the thing, and it is now,

99
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
tragic's turn.

100
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Three arrows.

101
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Should, should, should, should, should,

102
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
flown out, then would manage to dodge two of them,

103
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
but the first one connected.

104
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Doing a little bit of damage.

105
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
What do you do?

106
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Um, tragic is going to, uh,

107
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
seeing that they are, they both building their composite pose.

108
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They both had them out at the moment.

109
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Okay.

110
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
So making it in a wild assumption that they're going to want to keep this,

111
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
uh, entanglement at a range of some description.

112
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Um, tragic is going to, uh,

113
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
yeah, let's, uh, I don't think I need to do that.

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Yeah, so he's just going to start, uh,

115
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
gesturing and muttering,

116
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
uh, and as he's doing this,

117
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
um, maybe pulling out, uh,

118
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
one of his spell focuses and, uh,

119
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
almost like channeling energy.

120
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Uh, his hands will begin to crackle with an energy.

121
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
And as if there's a big lightning storm being contained by, uh,

122
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
his own hands, and then he's going to end his turn.

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Okay.

124
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
It is now the other ones turn.

125
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000
They are going to also, again, knock arrows and fire them all three,

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000
going towards you now that you have exposed magical powers.

127
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Yeah.

128
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
This is the one at the front out of the two.

129
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
There's two standing in this hallway, the back one fired at dimple,

130
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
the front one is firing at you,

131
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
taking that minus two,

132
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
16 is probably not going to hit.

133
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Nope.

134
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Ooh, but a,

135
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
doing math, a 20, will a 20 hit?

136
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
A 20 might hit?

137
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Can I get you rolled up a flat check for me, please?

138
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
A nine.

139
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
The 20 will hit.

140
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
The 20 will hit you're going to take max damage seven as is arrow.

141
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Ooh, just whew.

142
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Locks into you after you dodge the first one and the third one,

143
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
third in final one, a 17 on the money, probably not going to do it.

144
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Not gonna do it now.

145
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
It is now both of our acyls turn.

146
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Um, I am going to raise my long rifle

147
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
and just see if I can find an opening towards the one at the front

148
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
and I'll try and devise the strategy against it.

149
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Yeah, I got a 14 on the dice,

150
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
so I think that's good enough,

151
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
and I will take that action to line up the shot.

152
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Let's go.

153
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
What are you wrong with?

154
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
What are you hit with?

155
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Um, so that will be a 22 to hit.

156
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
When T2 is a hit, give me that damage.

157
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Nice.

158
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Uh, so we,

159
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
2d8.

160
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Yeah.

161
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
4 plus, oh, that's it.

162
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Yeah, just 2d8, so 4 damage.

163
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
4 damage total.

164
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Boom.

165
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff.

166
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Echoes out in this alleyway that you guys are standing,

167
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
outwards, maybe hear a couple of birds just...

168
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
*starts to fly off*

169
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
As the shot goes out.

170
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Still two more actions.

171
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Uh, that was the enemy two, devised strategy

172
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
and then take the shot,

173
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
and I'll reload for my third,

174
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
um, and as I'm reloading,

175
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
I'll, let's see, be careful,

176
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
they have some kind of magic.

177
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Alright.

178
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Last but no way, Least, Thimble, you're up.

179
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
We've taken an arrow.

180
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Okay, so...

181
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
*starts to fly off*

182
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
*laughs*

183
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Ow, ow.

184
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
These guys, they're, they're magic that I can sort of see.

185
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Well, you didn't notice the, you didn't notice the magic,

186
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
but you noticed they were pulling arrows almost from thin air.

187
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Okay, so well, on, on bobo-acl's, uh, sort of, a call,

188
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
did I, can I make some kind of check to see if...

189
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Yeah, I can't, I'll call you best, or like, just, I just want to see what kind of,

190
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
what, what they're working with here.

191
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Okay, go for it.

192
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
That's only a 13.

193
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Yeah, sadly, it's not enough.

194
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
You're not sure, you get, you try and feel out for magic.

195
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
You can't get that much.

196
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
It's, whether or not it's, uh, it might be a weak kind of magic,

197
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
or it may not be there at all, you're not quite sure.

198
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
That's okay.

199
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
You still have two more actions.

200
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Alright, uh, well...

201
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Uh, who's the most hurt looking one?

202
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Uh, definitely the one at the front.

203
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Okay, nurse it will...

204
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I ain't shot.

205
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Wood in the chest.

206
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Uh, how, how, sort of, dark is this alleyway we've found ourselves in?

207
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
You don't have to worry too much about it.

208
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
There are lights on in the houses around you.

209
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Maybe if you, I mean, like, is there a corner I could hide it?

210
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Oh, possibly.

211
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Depending how sneaky you could be.

212
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Uh, I was thinking of maybe trying to sneak into...

213
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Like, maybe this corner just sneak into the left a little bit.

214
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Just dart into the shadows.

215
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
See what you can do?

216
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Give us that stealth rope.

217
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Oh, that's pretty good.

218
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
It's a 15 on die.

219
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
That's 23.

220
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
23, alright.

221
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Move yourself into that corner.

222
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
You do move a half speed.

223
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Let's see if they spot you on that turn.

224
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
You kind of duck behind, in-dack into the other way,

225
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
taking efforts to hide behind, maybe perhaps a stairwell,

226
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
perhaps maybe some crates that will lift out back,

227
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
maybe even a dustbin' dart into the corner,

228
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
into the darkness still next to it.

229
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Okay, okay, I will...

230
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I'm gonna attempt to...

231
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm just gonna chuck my dagger at it.

232
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I like it.

233
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Alright, for the one on the front.

234
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Let's do it.

235
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Yeah.

236
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I mean, that roll.

237
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Do I still get the, it's like, even though I'm throwing it,

238
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
it's still a plus-one striking dagger, right?

239
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
When damage will do, still be double.

240
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Okay, that is 18 to hit.

241
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
That, because they are flat-footed, not seeing where you came from.

242
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Even though you duck behind,

243
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
some things, maybe, they're more concentrated on the wound

244
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
that they took, that dagger hits them, pierces.

245
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Give me some damage.

246
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
It should just be 2D4, I believe.

247
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Plus one, right?

248
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Plus one for the magic weapon, yet.

249
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Seven damage.

250
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Seven damage.

251
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Nice.

252
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
That is you done.

253
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Top of the round, the one at the back.

254
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Just gonna do a quick reception check, so you were that...

255
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Cool, he's so exactly where he went.

256
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
He is looking, you dead eyes, pulls out another arrow,

257
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
locks it, fires it, you thimble.

258
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
That is a 21.

259
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
I'll hit...

260
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Minimum damage.

261
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
You're only gonna take 2 as this arrow pierces into you.

262
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
It's going to aim the next shot at tragic.

263
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
I'm gonna have to hit that one.

264
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I'm gonna have to hit that one.

265
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I'm gonna have to hit that deck out of here.

266
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Deck is coming out.

267
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
All right, brace, even as this was going for you, say when.

268
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Yeah.

269
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
No, no, no, no, no.

270
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
That one.

271
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

272
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Bad alignment.

273
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
As it fires at you, you realize that's...

274
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Oh, okay, beautiful.

275
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
You see that they align the arrow, probably badly,

276
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
or not, it's just very, very, very poorly.

277
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And as they did, you notice that it kind of has made the bow

278
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
just a little bit bendier, a little bit less straight.

279
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
They're gonna have to spend some time fixing that.

280
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
As if they're basically gonna get a minus 220 attacks

281
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
that they take with that weapon.

282
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Trying to make it in the theory thing,

283
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
but it's a minus 220 attacks until they can fix it,

284
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
which they're gonna spend their last action doing.

285
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Trying to restring the bow, maybe try and readjust the bow

286
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
so that it is no longer being a bad time.

287
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
It is now your turn.

288
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
After this one, the back has fired.

289
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
All right, so the one at the back is looking a little bit more healthy

290
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
than the one at the front, right?

291
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yeah, much healthier.

292
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000
All right, so continuing to empower this crackling thunder

293
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
or storm in his hands, tragic he's going to then push it out

294
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
towards the fellow at the back.

295
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000
So a ball of crackling lightning shoots out of his hands towards this guy.

296
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Yeah.

297
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And we're going to roll an attack.

298
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Ooh, I did the same thing last time.

299
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Well, I used this.

300
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
That's a natural 20.

301
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Oh, shit.

302
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Yeah.

303
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Oh, shit.

304
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
All right.

305
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I think I rolled a natural 20 last time.

306
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Was this the last session we had when you were fighting the acu bus fire?

307
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Yeah.

308
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Yeah.

309
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Oh my god.

310
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
What the fuck?

311
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Well, bro, you figure out what you're going to have to roll damage wise.

312
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
And the first time opening up this deck, give me, tell me when to stop.

313
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Because I have the critical hits.

314
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Ooh, that one.

315
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Yeah.

316
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
That one?

317
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Yeah, sure.

318
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Sure.

319
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Ha!

320
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
This!

321
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Ooh.

322
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
It does not see where this shot come from, even though it's a big ball blast of lightning power.

323
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Maybe they keep their eyes away because it's so bright here in this alleyway

324
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
but they are considered flat-footed until the end of its next turn.

325
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
So all attacks against it.

326
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Flat-footed is going to be easier to hit.

327
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Give me that damage.

328
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
As I feel like it's not going to be long for the world after this attack goes off.

329
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
So it takes, yeah, double damage.

330
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Yeah.

331
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
It's dazzled for one round.

332
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Dazzled for one round.

333
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Beautiful.

334
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
And then there's a few other things that are going to go on.

335
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
All right.

336
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
No worries.

337
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Oh, so it's going to take 25 damage?

338
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Yeah.

339
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Yeah.

340
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:30,000
You know how in a TV series when things get hit by lightning, you see their skeleton kind of like explode,

341
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
like almost like kind of like an echo.

342
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Yeah, you see this thing through the cloak.

343
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
You see their skeleton.

344
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
They just like jump around at different angles, fall to the ground, smoking dead.

345
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
God damn.

346
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
All right.

347
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And then I also, as this strikes the back creature, completely just roasting them.

348
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000
There is a flash of lightning and thunder and it, the ball expands to encompass the other one.

349
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Oh, Jesus.

350
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
It needs to do a reflex to save.

351
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Well, that's better.

352
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Natural 20 for a 31.

353
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Okay.

354
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Just want to see what happens there.

355
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
It'll be like a no effect kind of thing.

356
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
It actually doesn't say what happens on a success.

357
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:25,000
If it, I presume that means if it, if there's nothing for like success and all that other stuff, then I presume there's no effect as if it just didn't happen.

358
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Yeah.

359
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
It just says basic reflex saves.

360
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Yeah.

361
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Yeah.

362
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
If it's a basic reflex, say if it doesn't, they might take half.

363
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Yeah.

364
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
No effect.

365
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Okay.

366
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I believe it was a bobaacle.

367
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Bobaacle.

368
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I'll get there.

369
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I don't lie.

370
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:53,000
I will see how easy it's going to be to hit this dude at the front and I'll devise a strategy him against him.

371
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Let's do it.

372
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
15 L of dice this time.

373
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
You're pretty successful last time.

374
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Yeah, that seems like it's good enough.

375
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
So I realized last time I only got plus eight to the roll, it should be plus nine.

376
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
So this would be a 24.

377
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
A 24 is a hit, not a crit.

378
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Yep, the line up and take that shot and oh much better this time nine damage total.

379
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Nine damage total.

380
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Yeah.

381
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
It is not looking great shot impact.

382
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000
You see it's got two bullet holes in it and a striking dagger sticking out of its chest.

383
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
It is wheezing just thinking you want to turn my friend.

384
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Shout something out to you which is unrecognizable through it also coughing up blood.

385
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
You still have two actions.

386
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
What action?

387
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Well, yep, I'll just take a cheeky reload.

388
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
And it is it's turn.

389
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
It is going to, it looks back seeing its friend dead on the floor.

390
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
It is going to drop its bow and it's just going to charge thimble.

391
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Short sword being drawn as it runs.

392
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
It's going to make a quick swipe with it.

393
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Thimble, how does a 20 go?

394
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Yeah, that'll it.

395
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:17,000
That will be a total of six damage and it's going to swipe one way and try and swipe back the other.

396
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Oh, that's pretty good too.

397
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
We're looking at 25.

398
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Yeah, definitely.

399
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Six again as it slashes back the other way.

400
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
It is now your turn, thimble.

401
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Oh, that hurt.

402
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Is he still got my dagger sticking out?

403
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Oh god, yeah.

404
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Can I try and grab it, rip it out and stab it again?

405
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Give me a theory check.

406
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Let's see if you can take it.

407
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Sure, I'm happy to do that.

408
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Steal it out of its chest.

409
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Yeah, that's great.

410
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
I'm good at that.

411
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Oh, yeah, that is a 22.

412
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Yeah, that's enough.

413
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
I was going to put it against the reflex DC and you beat it by one.

414
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
You have the dagger in hand.

415
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Are you stabbing?

416
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Yeah, do I, is that a regular attack?

417
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
I think that because the theory thing would be part of your map, so it would be minus four.

418
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Oh, so it's a...

419
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Yeah, yeah.

420
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
That makes sense to me.

421
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
It's kind of like a manipulate action, therefore it counts to a two map.

422
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Yep.

423
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Still not bad.

424
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Well, I'm only not 17 yet.

425
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
On the money.

426
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Give me that damage.

427
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Ah, yes.

428
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Alright.

429
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Five damage.

430
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
It had two hit points left as a twist.

431
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Yeah, I'm pissed.

432
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
The plummet back in the same wound to give it a twist.

433
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
You hear?

434
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
And it collapses to the floor dead.

435
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Suck it, yeah, I'll fuck.

436
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
[laughs]

437
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I say I say I have two and a half arrows or two arrows and short sword wounds to get out of me.

438
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And both dropped to the ground.

439
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Both were short swords, both were bows.

440
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000
There's maybe murmurings inside the houses nearby, maybe a couple of people stuck their heads out, but no one...

441
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
No one seems to be coming. What do you guys do?

442
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Oh, God, that hurt.

443
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Is there a...

444
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Town watch or something?

445
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Perhaps...

446
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We should...

447
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
What do you think this was the Town watch or something?

448
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
No, no, no. I'm saying we should notify someone that...

449
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
We should... I think first, perhaps, maybe we should check their pockets?

450
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Yeah, I'm a...

451
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Trying to fresk this guy closest to me.

452
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
I want to see their magic looked interesting.

453
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
They magical.

454
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
I saw something magic from their pockets.

455
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Really? I didn't see much magical.

456
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Do you think that's going to manifest now that they're dead?

457
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Quite possibly it was some kind of a device they had on them.

458
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
It won't give me perception checks when she look over these bodies.

459
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Can I have a... do it like a...

460
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Devery?

461
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Hmm, I'm gonna say perception, because maybe if there's anything hidden...

462
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Like perception, for like generally looking over them,

463
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
if you're specifically looking for like hidden pockets...

464
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Yeah, I want to frisk this guy.

465
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I want to like...

466
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Okay, do like a...

467
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Like a pat pat.

468
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Let's do it.

469
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
All right, each of you perception or theory?

470
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Uh, I got a dirty...

471
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Dirty for the perception?

472
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Yeah, cool.

473
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000
That's terrible.

474
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
That's a natural one, so...

475
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Oh, okay.

476
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
And a nine.

477
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
You find a hand in your own pocket.

478
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
You really jump at being scared as you somehow put their hand in your pocket.

479
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Oh!

480
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
You lose a gold piece.

481
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Um, tragic.

482
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
(laughs)

483
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Uh, 17, but I'm also not necessarily going through that pocket.

484
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
I'm just going to like, you know...

485
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Just trying to...

486
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Generally look around, make sure that nothing else is gonna come out of the darkness at us

487
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:44,000
or like if there's like, you know, a presence in the street, like some guard or, you know...

488
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Someone...

489
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Yeah, something around.

490
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
We'd... I'll tell you this.

491
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
You do start to see more of the towns...

492
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
You see towns of Ocona sticking their heads out because then there always this happened.

493
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
There's a big electric explosion.

494
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You're in the middle of a city.

495
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
People are gonna be curious about what's going on in my bag.

496
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Yeah.

497
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
None of them seem to be guards.

498
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
None of them seem to be threatening.

499
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Um...

500
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Uh, if there's...

501
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Before we get into like the whole...

502
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
That looting there, corpses thing.

503
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Uh, if there is someone that like, very obviously like, makes themselves...

504
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
A parent...

505
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Uh, tragic might...

506
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Yeah.

507
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Like gesture towards them.

508
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I think most of them are just curious if not afraid.

509
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Just like, you know, peeking out from curtains kind of thing or...

510
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah, okay.

511
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Yeah, like peeking out of curtains out of windows or you may even hear some doors of lock around you.

512
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Um, just where they've been going on.

513
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Uh, people are curious so people like maybe it's small crowd.

514
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Cause I mean, even though you've been moving through the city at night, people were still following you.

515
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Like, there were protests out the front of that, uh, the, the house of keys.

516
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
So you may have been followed by a couple of people from that.

517
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And a couple of them are like maybe took a couple of steps back, poking the heads in the hallway, seeing these two dead people on the ground.

518
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
As you go through this body, you do in fact find something.

519
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
You find an unsealed letter.

520
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
And kinda comes out of the folds of their robes.

521
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Boboacco, do you wanna read this out to the group?

522
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Okay, sure, I can read it.

523
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
It says, "It's only a matter of time before the council learns of our existence.

524
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Bring them under our thumb before then."

525
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Our mother has dug through their minds to find the truth.

526
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Our mother? Interesting.

527
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Use this information to make them malleable to her name.

528
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Skawahan remains the easiest of the councilors to bring to our side.

529
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Her search for secrets will inevitably bring her to our direction.

530
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:36,000
After her the information, she's so desperately craves, but only enough to make her more interested in letting us operate in the darkness.

531
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Oh, yes, in letting us operate in the darkness than exposing us to the light.

532
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Her occult interests will turn to things frowned upon in Segeida,

533
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
and she'll need us to provide her answers.

534
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Tecawenda is dangerous, but she will fold before she ever poses a threat.

535
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Already her peacekeeper is a spread thin, and her energy even thinner.

536
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
The tiniest bit of chaos will be enough for her and her forces to buckle under the pressure.

537
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Even if we are discovered, there will be no one capable enough to do anything about it.

538
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,000
All you have is a traditionalist with long years of experience.

539
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
We are likely not the first group of our kind as seen, but we will be his last.

540
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
His obsession with protocol may be something we can use against him.

541
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Search for any old precedents or stories about...

542
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Owls?

543
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Magic or children? Found within the woods? Owls? Interesting.

544
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
What is going on?

545
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
These are all things we can use to gain his favor for our mother.

546
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
If not exist, remove him.

547
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
With his age, many people will believe it was time for him to go anyway.

548
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Wanakina has resisted Owl means of scrying,

549
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
will need something more to truly breach her defenses.

550
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Break into her home when the council is in session and bring something of hers with sentimental value.

551
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000
A family heirloom, gift from a loved one, something she's made herself,

552
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000
anything that you can grab and get out without being noticed.

553
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Come back successfully or do not cut butter coming back at all.

554
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
May you avoid the Owls' gaze.

555
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Who is this Owl?

556
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
And who is the mother?

557
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Well, I can say one thing for certain. They're not going back.

558
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
So task failed successfully, right?

559
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Search their pockets perhaps for one of Wanakina's items of sentimental value.

560
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Well as you move over towards the further body, the one that was the one at the back that died it,

561
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
pretty much against the wall, you realize what they dropped was a pot of some kind.

562
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Very ornate pot that seemed to be covered in some of the local patterns

563
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:53,000
and clearly something of historical value, if not sentimental value perhaps, smashed on the floor.

564
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000
It seems that they did get to Wanakina before they tried to take us out.

565
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Perhaps it is possible they have influenced the other council members also.

566
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Maybe I'd have taken a during the council meeting that we had with them.

567
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
That is what this letter says for them to do.

568
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Yes, well, should we go and try and find the council members now?

569
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I mean, I'm pretty, I don't know about you guys, I'm kinda...

570
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
They winded after me.

571
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
But I'm not doing well at all.

572
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I hate to say this my friends, but perhaps I don't think it is time for us to rest just yet.

573
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Anyone able to help me out a little more is for rare.

574
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,000
I have some tinctures in her, perhaps, can help you cure these arrows of yours.

575
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:47,000
And I will reach into one of my little pockets on my van to Lea, grab out a small poultice and start wrapping.

576
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:54,000
You've got three kind of half-plating wounds that you think will.

577
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000
I do.

578
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Yeah.

579
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
I got two arrows to canal him.

580
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Perhaps I'll start with one and then see where we go from there.

581
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
To do a treat wounds.

582
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I don't know if that's all right.

583
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Go for it.

584
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000
You're gonna aim for the 15 or aim for the 20?

585
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Can I aim for a 20?

586
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Or does it have to be a 25?

587
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
If the next degree up is 25, I believe, I think it's 20.

588
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
And that means you add 10.

589
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Yeah, it's 2.8 plus 10.

590
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
It's 15, 20 or 30?

591
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Okay.

592
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:33,000
I'm just double checking what my bonus is because I have natural medicine, which gives me plus 2's, treat wounds and I can use the nature, which would give me a plus 10.

593
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,000
50/50.

594
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
I'll go for the big heal.

595
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Well, the thing is with a plus 10, you could only fail with the natural one as well.

596
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
So you could save that in the chance of...

597
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
You know, you look at your dice. You see the one.

598
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Yeah, that one.

599
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Yeah, just don't let that face up.

600
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
That's what you thought of.

601
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
You've got a one in 20 chance of not being great.

602
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
All right, let's do it.

603
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Okay.

604
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
It wasn't a one. It was the number closest to a one, which is a seven.

605
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Oh, hmm.

606
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
So it would be 10.

607
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Plus 10 is 17.

608
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
So it's not enough.

609
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
So is that just a fail?

610
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
That's just a fail.

611
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Nothing happens.

612
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
You try and patch up the wounds, perhaps, because it's in its chest, it's a difficult area.

613
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
You don't have a lot of armor and stuff.

614
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Well, not necessarily armor, but you've got loads around them.

615
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Like, you try and brush away a necklace with a silver, a golden ring around it, and it's just kind of getting in the way.

616
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
You kind of flick it off to the side, and it just seems to be bouncing back.

617
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
You can't quite get a good angle.

618
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
You struggle with it for about 10 minutes.

619
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
You are too tall for me, Cat thing.

620
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:36,000
In a jungle, it is much easier for me to treat burns and scratches, but wounds of this like not my expertise.

621
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Yeah, that's okay.

622
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
That's all right.

623
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Err.

624
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Perhaps it is time to use your wrist.

625
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
You say, "Wow, Bubwuckle is administering."

626
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:51,000
What tragic appears to be quite deft, uh, administration of first aid.

627
00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Well, considering you've got that covered, Bubwuckle, I might see to my own, and, uh, pull out a lesser healing potion.

628
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
And, "Quoth, Quoth."

629
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So, 2d8+5, or nice.

630
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Uh, 18.

631
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Are you going to try them?

632
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Can I try and treat my own wounds?

633
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Yeah, I can't remember.

634
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
I think, yeah, you can, like, each person is allowed to try, I think it's fine.

635
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
I know I did a treat wounds last time, I just don't know.

636
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,000
You can treat wounds in any kind of, like, sit down 10-minute session.

637
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Yeah, you can give it a go if you want.

638
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Aiming for the 15, I'll be sure to not do 20.

639
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Yeah.

640
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Oh, that's a nat 20!

641
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Well, there you go.

642
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Nice!

643
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,000
So, double it.

644
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Not bad.

645
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
All right, so 48.

646
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000
48.

647
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Minimum will get his 4, most you can get is 32.

648
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Not bad.

649
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Quick math.

650
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,000
I can count in multiples of 48, 6, 12, 10, and 20.

651
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
I think that covers most numbers.

652
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And his 16 hit points fast.

653
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Nice.

654
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Nice.

655
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,000
How's everyone looking?

656
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Pretty good.

657
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Pretty good, is relative.

658
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000
But, yeah, sure.

659
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
I think it.

660
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000
After a few moments, nursing over wounds, checking over things, patching things up,

661
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
talking about the jungle and quaffing potions.

662
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
You do actually find Rakhanswe.

663
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Come down.

664
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Very nervously at first down the corridor, like towards you guys, through the other way.

665
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And it's just, I heard about the incident.

666
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Are you all right?

667
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Which incident?

668
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
This one, or the one from earlier?

669
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Yes.

670
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
There was one earlier?

671
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Yeah.

672
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Or it seems, perhaps, we are not so welcome in this city.

673
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,000
And she moves over to one of these figures and sees the mask and goes, curious.

674
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Is the owl significant in any way?

675
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Yes, I know.

676
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
In our culture, they're a symbol of death.

677
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
A hundred of the night.

678
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Does the phrase avoid the owl's gaze mean to stave off death, perhaps?

679
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Maybe not death, but at least.

680
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Maybe, yeah.

681
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
It's like old folktales, right?

682
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And the owl's meant to be their whispering back to something whispering to each other, snooping

683
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:21,000
on you, spying, as well as death itself, is people, you know, bad people who want to do magic,

684
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
you know, want to snoop on you, want to kill you.

685
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
So there's also magical links to owls in our culture.

686
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:36,000
You know, whoever these guys are working for, they're trying to control the council.

687
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Yeah, they're trying to get them under their thumb.

688
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
But Waffle found this letter on them.

689
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
It mentions someone they call the mother.

690
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
And she starts looking down the note.

691
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
You do not know this thing, I suppose.

692
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
I think she's often raiding this for a moment and it's like, I think this is definitely something we need to bring to the council.

693
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Yes. Maybe... I don't.

694
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Maybe not bring it to them tonight, but definitely tomorrow during the meeting.

695
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Yeah, what if they're already compromised?

696
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
No, I don't.

697
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
I don't.

698
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Look, tomorrow during the meeting I'll come.

699
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I want to be in that meeting.

700
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
I'm not meant to be there, but I want to be in that meeting.

701
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I want to help you argue your case.

702
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And especially if... I mean, but it looks like you should not be left alone.

703
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Well, from the looks of this letter to Thimble, perhaps, it says that they're not necessarily trying to get the council members to fold under their thumb, but perhaps to be more incompetent than they should be.

704
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000
The only one is says here, Skawahan is the one that they are looking to turn to their side.

705
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
It says Takawenda, the peacekeeper is just spread thin.

706
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Oyham is old and maybe deposed of.

707
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
And one Akina, they were looking to bribe or extort in some fashion.

708
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:06,000
I don't think they will... you know, I don't think they will turn the council members to their cause.

709
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
I mean, not yet.

710
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
I mean, who knows what they could have done with the information that they got from scrying on one Akina?

711
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Or any of this other stuff if it worked out, I don't know.

712
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
We do know if they've done it yet.

713
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,000
It says that there's only a matter of time before they learn of their existence, right?

714
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Which means they're in the shadows now, but not for long.

715
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:35,000
This some reason, other than us, I presume, that would mean that they are going to be discovered.

716
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
And before that happens, they want to have leverage over them.

717
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:49,000
The council is light looking over in the shadows, checking corners and stuff, just by the pure mention that owls might be watching.

718
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Yes, I agree. Perhaps it is best we continue this discussion at the Seekers' Rest.

719
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
In private, yes.

720
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
At the Seekers' Rest.

721
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
These bodies.

722
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Yes.

723
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And she quickly turns around and talks to someone in a native tongue in Mahawak.

724
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
And so on, nods, nods, and nods, and just starts running.

725
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,000
And it's only five or ten minutes and you see the gods turn up. These gods are in...

726
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Wait, guys, before anyone turns up, I think we should take these masks.

727
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
We'll bucket them discreetly, perhaps.

728
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Yeah, yeah.

729
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:33,000
I go over and quickly take them asks, wipe them with any blood or anything like that and just pocket them.

730
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Where should you take them off their faces? It's a man and a woman.

731
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Neither of them having blemishes on their face, you check their arms for tattoos and stuff like that.

732
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,000
None of this. They seem just like they would have fit in the crowd.

733
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
That you may have walked through today. They may have seen them in the market.

734
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000
They don't look like distinguishable.

735
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
And there doesn't seem to be any marks on them to like, so like, are they part of a cult or something like that?

736
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
They just look like regular townsfolk, which I mean maybe Thimble as you notice this and see this more.

737
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Maybe your skin prickles on the back of your neck as you realise, like above you, there are people watching in the streets that people looking for.

738
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000
I also like you to roll a stealth check to see if you can actually pocket these without anyone seeing.

739
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Yeah, 321.

740
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Beautiful.

741
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
So as you're aware?

742
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,000
We didn't see any sign of some kind of device or magical implement that they were using to pull these arrows from.

743
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:30,000
It seems like if there was nothing there that put it was just magic that they were using.

744
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,000
As far as you were aware?

745
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I was going to say, "But Wackel, could you describe to me this, this, what you saw?"

746
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
I didn't really see it properly.

747
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:50,000
It was like he reached into his pouch, but instead of a pouch it was some kind of stars or like a night sky, something like this and he pulled from it in arrow.

748
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I've seen that kind of magic before.

749
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Really?

750
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:01,000
If it is magic, why not use it to do something more arcane than just draw an arrow from nowhere?

751
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:13,000
I don't know, I think it has a myriad of purpose, but in my experience it has something to do with the hack, Aslan.

752
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
I do not know of this thing.

753
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
She's a night hack.

754
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I have a meter in the grand lodge actually in the middle of the same horde that we pulled the star gun out of.

755
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Well, I didn't personally, but that's where it was found.

756
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I don't know if that's connected or not, but that description of what you told me, that's definitely her ammo.

757
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:52,000
She draws magic from some kind of ether or extra planer source that has that kind of visible description.

758
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Hmm, so perhaps these things are connected perhaps, I don't know, but that sounds real familiar.

759
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,000
I've been hurt pretty bad by some agents of hers wielding similar magics.

760
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Not too much longer after this conversation comes to an end.

761
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I've got you again, guards turn up and seem to be wearing some sort of hide armor, decorative furs on the corners, maybe a lot thicker, boiled, tougher, hide armor.

762
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:33,000
I'm at studded with bronze plates.

763
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Just out of instinct, a symbol tries to look incredibly just innocent and puts his hands on the back of his head.

764
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Yeah, they don't seem too phased by it.

765
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Obviously, two bodies in the floor, a fight clearly occurred.

766
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,000
They're talked to a couple of the locals, and they are on your side. They say that you were attacked.

767
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:04,000
First, they came after you, your attack. They said that, like, this was defense, basically.

768
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Nothing could have been done. They seem to just be attacking.

769
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Even after the first one fell, the other one stepped forward to keep attacking and seemed like they meant to either take you out or not leave here alive.

770
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,000
But the thing you notice is that the locals vouch for you.

771
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,000
That they know that you were not the threat here.

772
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
I think it's a very interesting point.

773
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Do we get the sense from their discussions that they're defending us as more of a diplomatic,

774
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000
like these people have a sense of honor, or is it more like they're standing up for us even though we're outsiders?

775
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Or is it very neutral? Or is it, no, these guys are actually fine? They're all right.

776
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
From what you've, I think, the best...

777
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:08,000
What? Give me a society check. I think a society check is probably good on for this. It's not great. It's going to be 11.

778
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Okay, but it's hard to tell. It could be that they were witnesses to a crime, therefore they've just spoken matter of fact.

779
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Or maybe it's perhaps you guys literally defended yourselves or at least stopped something that they were, like, obviously this was quite suspicious, people in cloaks.

780
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:33,000
You do hear someone mention masks in the guards look around, they can't find the masks. No one seems to know where the masks have disappeared to.

781
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:43,000
They grabbed down some details. Yeah, they grabbed some details from Rekun's Way who seems to have quite a lot of pull politically in this area.

782
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,000
And she also vouches for you. She says that she would take you directly to the tabum from here.

783
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:55,000
And if there's anything else they need to discuss with you, that's where you should find them if not, direct their attention to the council.

784
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Which, as she said, you see that the guards cannot be restless or any way, but they go, "Oh, okay, like, you guys are important people."

785
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Not mention the tabum you're heading towards, but that you are here for the council as outsiders as well.

786
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:18,000
So, an impression has been made on the guards in some way. But Rekun's Way says, "Alright, I think it's fine for us to leave."

787
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
"If you follow me, I'll get us through the crowd and we'll get you straight back to the tabum."

788
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,000
"I'm hopefully going to move out the way from you." "Seeing what's happened here, they're not going to try and mess with you anymore."

789
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:35,000
And she leads you through. It's a very short walk. You walk past the river that flows, the built waterways between the city.

790
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:41,000
You walk past a couple of them, walk over a bridge and it is not too far away from this tabum.

791
00:38:41,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Can I just whisper to these guys aside from Rekun's Way as we walk and just say, "Hey, hey guys, do you think that we should maybe, if we're filling up to it, go to this secret rest, pretend to bed down for the night and sneak out and see what we can find out?"

792
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
It depends on how you are feeling.

793
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Feeling a lot better after you help me out, so yeah.

794
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000
"Yeah, fuck it, why not?"

795
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:22,000
My only concern perhaps is that it might be somewhat suspicious. We were in some kind of brawl and we're to rest in a place and then if we get found out a different place.

796
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:29,000
We are path-fibed as after all, we seek answers or something like that.

797
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Yeah, I mean, I'm well versed that, you know, heading through city at night. If you want me to go alone, I can, but it's up to you.

798
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
"I will follow you."

799
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000
"No."

800
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000
"I would come with."

801
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:53,000
"You guys, I guess we just gotta see if we can get a subtle exit, otherwise we'll see how it goes."

802
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
You guys, after crossing the bridge, see this tavern in front of you and it is a beautiful tavern.

803
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000
It is very well crafted, very well looked after, especially the outside.

804
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,000
You've got a lot of the local plants and little pots that hang from like the edge of the roof that kind of sticks out of the side.

805
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Wooden stone that seems to be layered with some sort of tack in between to keep it in shape and the doors are pushed open for you, over a gunsway.

806
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
The tavern still vibrates with life, despite the late hour.

807
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Tavers are filled with tourists, visit and dignitaries and ambassadors from other Arcanean nations.

808
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,000
The tavern keeper, a grinning half-ling woman, approaches you with her arms outstretched, ope offering a hug.

809
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Welcome to the Seacars Rest. Have you eaten yet?

810
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:43,000
And she doesn't even wait for you to respond as she already starts running off to a backwards kitchen, trying to make up some food.

811
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Over the top of the clatter of pan she says, "My mother's recipe!" She starts, as she starts to grab pots and plates and starts gathering stuff and soon you are just pushed into a table.

812
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:00,000
This interior of the tavern wouldn't. It's a crackling fire that just fills the air with like kind of like a muggy warmth.

813
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:04,000
High voices talking amongst, as well as alcoholic slips and burps.

814
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
She brings out a plate covered in bannock and berry sorts.

815
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:19,000
She's in kind of local meat. She kind of looks at you beaming. When the council told me, "Do we get visitors for our verstand? To make sure we put that best foot forwards."

816
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Your rooms are upstairs, already made for you.

817
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Three separate bedrooms, queens beds, all made out.

818
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Best rooms in the house, I reckon. At least I'd say so myself.

819
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Please, let me know if there's anything you need. She beams up at you.

820
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:41,000
And softening lady, curly ginger hair, like this nice dress on just smiling up at you, wearing no shoes.

821
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Your hospitality is most welcome, mistress.

822
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,000
My pleasure, she gives you like a small curtsy.

823
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Hmm? What's your name? Oh, I wait. She kind of blushes a little bit. I'm sure the council would have told you.

824
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,000
She didn't. She kind of looked a little bit concerned for a second. I thought I had a little high remarks.

825
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,000
They mentioned we had rooms at Seeker's Rest, and that would be most appropriate.

826
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000
I appreciate that. I'll have to have words with the councilwoman.

827
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:19,000
I'll reach forward and sort of clasp her hand in thanks and palm her a gold piece.

828
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Oh, not. And she instantly gives a backstreet. I'd not need for you to spend gold here. The council have covered everything.

829
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
I don't know what you're talking about. Thank you so much.

830
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:37,000
She kind of smiles and gives you a wink and she like places it like in a pocket on her waist, maybe on a woman's leather satchel.

831
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
How tall is she compared to me Adam? How tall are you?

832
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Like two and a half foot. She's about three. She may be slightly taller.

833
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Okay. Half a foot taller. Not slightly.

834
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:57,000
I've never a hug unprovpted. Thank you for a big smile. This house you have is very lovely. This is where your family stays?

835
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000
No, well, this was originally my grandmother's. My grandmother passed it down to my mother. Now I have it now.

836
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000
We've tried to keep it as stock as possible, but you know, I have to update things with all the visitors

837
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,000
and make a more of a higher steam now that the council keeps sending their most esteemed guests.

838
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:21,000
She's like Bows to Woodrow and gives you a very big smile. I can see why it is quite the lovely home you have.

839
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,000
I appreciate it. But it is your, consider it your home. Why are you here?

840
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And I will. Now, speaking of when I'm in my house, I do love a solid meal and I don't mean to put you out, but I am famished.

841
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:45,000
I've done well. Eat as much you want. Anything that you want. If I can put it together, I'll do the best I can. It's late hours obviously.

842
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:53,000
But we still are. A lot as a fool. So, so one hard beer. You two pointing over towards Thimble and tragic.

843
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Milk, please, if you have it.

844
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,000
What's your most alcoholic beverage?

845
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,000
We could do that for you. I'm sure. She smiles and gives you a wink.

846
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
I'll have two of them, please.

847
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:17,000
And she quickly disappears behind what appears to be both the bar and the side and desk and quickly gathers drink as well as tries to gather up another plate of food.

848
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
We're gonna say, um, 10 times as I am.

849
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Well, I'll notify the guard locally and more about what happened last night and hopefully I can get like a watch set up at the front for you.

850
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Well, maybe there's a target on your head by some sort of an owl cult thing. Maybe it's worth having a few guards here just to watch over and protect.

851
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Yes. Yes. Perhaps just watching the front so they don't come in through the front is a good idea.

852
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Yes. Yes.

853
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,000
I'll make sure specifically the front. I think the are you sure not the back?

854
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000
We can cover the back. It is fine.

855
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Well, that's very good to hear. All right. Yes. I'll get them to focus maybe two on the front. See what we can do.

856
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Again, I'm so sorry that you got mixed up in whatever this is.

857
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,000
There's no, not your fault, rock, sunway. It is the fault of someone else and we will find out who is Jew time.

858
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:23,000
I'll hopefully if the councilmen have and women have been visited by such people, maybe they might have more news than we would have about it.

859
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Anyway, I'll leave you to it. I'll be here tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp.

860
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
I think our meetings are meetings at nine so we can get there early.

861
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Then we shall see you at eight o'clock. She gives you a smile and she turns on her feet kind of looking around maybe a little bit more.

862
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:47,000
She looks a little bit nervous than she was before and heads out of the main door.

863
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:55,000
Very quickly she is replaced by a wait who brings over beers in one hand as well as what seems to be some sort of whiskey.

864
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Poor two whiskeys in one glass and a bowl of what look like like the equivalent of hot pockets but steaming and broken open.

865
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000
You can see there's a mix of food and vegetables inside. She goes, "I, anything else that you desire?"

866
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:15,000
You have been most gracious. Thank you so much. These look delicious and the beer smells wonderful.

867
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:21,000
I've been washing my house many, many times with each compliment. I just try to give you the best service that we can.

868
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
It is the best service that I've ever had.

869
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,000
My heart, my heart.

870
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Is there anything else I can do for you?

871
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Just where our rooms would be?

872
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Yes. Up the stairs to the right. First doors on the right hand side.

873
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Then she can pause out of her woman's love of the statue again three keys that she hands it into each of you.

874
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Excellent. Thank you very much.

875
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Is there anything wrong with them? Please tell me. I'll go up and sort it.

876
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Thank you. Could I trouble you for a glass of milk?

877
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Of course. Are heated?

878
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Yes, please. Thank you. She gives you two bows and wonders off.

879
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:07,000
As she wonders away, I'll look at the size of this beer glass and maybe turn over to a tragic and be like,

880
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:15,000
"You might have to drink half of this for me as you can see here. This much beer perhaps would put me unconscious."

881
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?

882
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Perhaps give it your best shot and well, if there's anything left then I'd be more than happy to partake.

883
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:34,000
But as you see, I rather have my hands full at the moment as he picks up the double scotch or whatever it is, double whiskey.

884
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Double whiskey as far as you can tell, which when you taste it, it's got a weird tang to it. Give me a nature roll.

885
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Absolutely.

886
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Bison!

887
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Oh, it was my nature.

888
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Oh, it's bad. That is a 14 total.

889
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,000
14 total. You're not sure but there's an undercurrent of something there that you maybe have to be foreign to your tongue.

890
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Not necessarily, well, you're not sure. Most likely you don't think it's going to be a poison but it's most likely a local fruit, a local way of fermenting something but it's good.

891
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:15,000
It tastes nice. It gives it a little bit of a smakering of your lips and maybe your tongue looks like a tongue.

892
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,000
A smakering of your lips or your tongue.

893
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Thank you.

894
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:27,000
So, like in every time you do it, you get that feel, you get that taste back and that little bit of a rickland feeling.

895
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
I'm sorry, I can't have done.

896
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Is it coming through?

897
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Yeah, I've done.

898
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
It's not good.

899
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Okay, thank you.

900
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
The milk, delightful.

901
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:44,000
As a connoisseur of milk, thimble, most likely it's going to be like either...

902
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Bison?

903
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Yeah, bison milk. Up a highland cow's from this kind of region.

904
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
I'll be sure you'll be...

905
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Yac?

906
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Or...

907
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Yeah, I think Yac is probably... yeah, Yac-yac.

908
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Like the big ass, like North American bus.

909
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,000
That's some long, long milk right there.

910
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,000
It's in the air, like great plains kind of taste.

911
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,000
And as of the beer, there's a fruity tang to it.

912
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:17,000
And, uh, definitely like, uh, as the Americans say, Yac-yac refruit.

913
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Which I believe is, like, similar to Al-Ali-v-Raz-Fazam-Ali.

914
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Very refreshing, even though it's still a beer.

915
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000
For those of you drinking alcohol...

916
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Yeah, I'll be corrected.

917
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Send us an email or a message through our Facebook, Instagram, or even Twitter.

918
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Well, the email is at...

919
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
...SamshaBab podcast@gmail.com

920
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
And tell me what they taste like.

921
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,000
For those of you drinking alcohol, which is, uh, not simple.

922
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:47,000
I want you both to roll me Constitution checks, because I just want to see how this alcohol sits.

923
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Now, I'm going to give you a minus two, uh, young, uh, tragic, because you are drinking the heaviest alcohol they have in the pub.

924
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Uh, what kind of check was it for, to?

925
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:00,000
For two.

926
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,000
Ooh, uh, minus two, you say?

927
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000
For those two, that will be a 22.

928
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Yeah.

929
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000
You're holding your liquor.

930
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,000
You're holding your liquor?

931
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
I got a 12.

932
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Are you an...

933
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
You are not.

934
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,000
It becomes very bubbly, very quickly, and you're very burp, and you have to...

935
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,000
And you just see, like, his is reptilian, froggy eyes, just kind of like open and kind of like the big,

936
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:32,000
bull, this eye is just going to roll back every now and again and kind of take a moment to center themselves, to refocus on you.

937
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Yeah, and I think I start hiccoping, but it's more like a frog's croak.

938
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Like, root.

939
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Root.

940
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Uh, bubblewarkle.

941
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,000
It seems as though you're holding your liquor particularly well tonight.

942
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Ha ha ha ha.

943
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Yes, exactly.

944
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Did you want to finish the route?

945
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,000
I've seemed to have reached the end of my little tipple.

946
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Oh, oh, I'm telling you now.

947
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Tragic, when you get close to the end of your carp, there is another one that is produced for you.

948
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Nice, nice.

949
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Very quickly.

950
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
It's almost as if she is monitoring.

951
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Yeah, you're like making sure that you have everything you desire.

952
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,000
As soon as you get down to, like, the last two of these pot-pot-pot-pocket things, all, like, slabs of meat, a new meal is produced.

953
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:21,000
No, before I start on this second one, do you need assistance?

954
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:27,000
I can help me out, please.

955
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Yes, I believe I can.

956
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:36,000
It... the... beer... my country, not so strong.

957
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Do they have pines we all from?

958
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Um... pines trees.

959
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Yes, that's... precisely what I meant.

960
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:55,000
Now here, how about we, uh... you have a little sip of this, and I'll have the rest of that.

961
00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:05,000
And Tragic is going to do a switcher, he'll have left, like, the last little, like, maybe, like, mouthful of, uh... whiskey in the glass for Bob Warkle.

962
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Perhaps that might not fill you up quite so much.

963
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000
You can stomach it a little bit easier.

964
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Ah, I'll sip it.

965
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Just a little sip of.

966
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000
You sip it. How long are you going to be out here drinking feasting?

967
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Well, what time was it when we got in?

968
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
It was after dark.

969
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Yeah, it would have been about maybe seven or eight?

970
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Yeah, probably seven or eight.

971
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Probably says around 10 o'clock now.

972
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Most of the delegates that are here, the officials that seem to be here have either left or slowly starting to dribble out.

973
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Who... who wasn't who picked up the remnants of the, the, like, part that was broken?

974
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,000
I believe it might have been Bob Warkle.

975
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,000
I can have.

976
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Certainly did.

977
00:52:52,000 --> 00:53:01,000
During this, this, uh, exchange of, uh, liquor, I would just like to serve digitally lean over and, um, maybe just take...

978
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:06,000
the time to take a shard of this pot out of his pocket or bag.

979
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000
You can take the whole thing, but that's just...

980
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Yeah, he, no idea.

981
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
He moves over across the table, maybe, to grab the string. Can you manage to?

982
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000
I just take a, a large identifiable shard.

983
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Yep. And you do.

984
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,000
You take a large identifiable shard.

985
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
And you look at over your hand, it's very beautifully crafted.

986
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:34,000
It's definitely aged to it, like, easily, like, more than a hundred, maybe even 200 years to the age of this pottery.

987
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,000
I don't know how much you know about pottery, but I'm happy to give this to you for free without a roll.

988
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
It definitely seems like a long-used heirloom.

989
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:47,000
The pot itself probably once sat maybe two handfuls.

990
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Um, like, almost not quite like, maybe like, bigger than a hug mug.

991
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Uh, a hug mug? Is it a hug? Yeah, it's a hug mug.

992
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Because you have to drink it while you're hugging it, kind of thing.

993
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Uh, bubble. Can I, can I read that letter that you found?

994
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Yep. Um, this one.

995
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Right here.

996
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Thank you.

997
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,000
I just reread the letter.

998
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Well, yeah, the letter's being handed over.

999
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
A touch of cool look over it.

1000
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Thimble and just be like, do you not, uh, partake in alcohol, thimble?

1001
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Uh, ha. Uh, no, I do, but only when things are quite dire.

1002
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Right. Have you perhaps heard of the, uh, what is it? The geltish coffee?

1003
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:45,000
No? Uh, no, I, no. Can't say that.

1004
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Well, I think you can do it without the coffee and just have it with milk.

1005
00:54:48,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Um, basically, it's just put a little shot of alcohol in your, well, traditionally coffee, but I don't see why you couldn't put it in the milk.

1006
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Oh, yes. It's like a, um, uh, what do I call it? A, um, uh, white, who's still off?

1007
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Yes, yes, yes.

1008
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Probably a more accurate.

1009
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe next time.

1010
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Fair enough.

1011
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Now, if you gentlemen don't mind, I would like at least maybe an hour of rest before we do go about our nightly drinks.

1012
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Nightly jaunt.

1013
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:39,000
So, let's say, we reconvene it half past midnight.

1014
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
How about midnight?

1015
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Yes.

1016
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:55,000
And, uh, with that tragic wall, take one of the keys and maybe slightly wobblylyly, uh, head up stairs for a just a little bit of shadow.

1017
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Do you have the two follow?

1018
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
I'm gonna sleep on the couch.

1019
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Sleep on the couch, sleep down in the dining area.

1020
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Why not?

1021
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
Just gonna keep going.

1022
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
What's more comfortable than stuff that is used to?

1023
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:10,000
True, true.

1024
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Thimble?

1025
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Yeah, Thimble will go up to the room.

1026
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Okay.

1027
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000
As you do, open the door and have a look inside.

1028
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Man, like four meters by three.

1029
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Window to the outside world. It's double bed that looks like it's got like an extra layer of like fur underneath it.

1030
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
And it just feels super, super comfortable.

1031
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,000
There's areas view to store things.

1032
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,000
There's like a small couch in the corner.

1033
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Like, it is, it is like the most comfortable sleep you could ever find in a tavern ever.

1034
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:54,000
There's a fire that's like very gently burning that doesn't really smoke into the room. It seems to have a system where it escapes but the warmth stays in.

1035
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
It's, they've put you in the digs.

1036
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Like the best comfort you could ever imagine.

1037
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Nice.

1038
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Thimble is just gonna make biscuits on the bed for like 20 minutes.

1039
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,000
(laughs)

1040
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Tragic?

1041
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Crashing and burning. You very much used to just...

1042
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
I can just imagine you just walked in.

1043
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
No covers coming back, yeah.

1044
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Not even changing that yet.

1045
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Close on.

1046
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Yeah.

1047
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Boots still on.

1048
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Yeah.

1049
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Falling on top of the bed.

1050
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
Voboracle after these guys go up.

1051
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:34,000
You do get, like maybe you just start drifting a little bit and then you suddenly just feel like your sleep get pulled and away is next you.

1052
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000
And I said, "Master."

1053
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:42,000
Sir, do you not want to use the room? It's...

1054
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,000
You seem so tired.

1055
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,000
It is very comfortable here. Thank you.

1056
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,000
I understand. I need to close up. I need to clean up.

1057
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000
The room is gonna be much more comfortable for you.

1058
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,000
Sorry.

1059
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Okay.

1060
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:05,000
And she helps you. She holds your arm and she leads you up there and you pull out a key and just instantly maybe drop it or just push it against the wrong part of the chest.

1061
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:11,000
I hope you actually unlocks the door for you and she opens it up for you and yeah, you see the same thing they have.

1062
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:18,000
And the thing is the other two, three and five foot maybe six and a half foot tall, however tall, you being a two foot tall.

1063
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Problem, man.

1064
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
This is amazing.

1065
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,000
The bed is huge.

1066
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,000
You can comparison to you.

1067
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Like, like, you just...

1068
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,000
...some mad.

1069
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Right?

1070
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
And it is...

1071
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,000
...come fee.

1072
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,000
Yeah, I'll just go straight to sleep.

1073
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,000
And then you lie down. Your catch may be like...

1074
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:36,000
...now or two.

1075
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Maybe a little bit longer because of the comfort of it.

1076
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Because it's like REM sleep. You're having like dreams floating through your head.

1077
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Then, but what's going through your brain?

1078
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,000
And you're like sleeping.

1079
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
And you're imagining.

1080
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Would you imagine just...

1081
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Then, but would be dreaming of in this moment?

1082
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
I think that then, but is...

1083
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:57,000
...a dreaming about eyes and the darkness and...

1084
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,000
...silent...

1085
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
...silent birds with sharp...

1086
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,000
...dalands...

1087
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
...plucking them off the ground.

1088
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Tragic.

1089
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,000
I think...

1090
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
...tragic would...

1091
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000
...yeah, okay.

1092
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,000
His dreams will be troubled.

1093
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:19,000
Not necessarily with images of the things they've encountered today.

1094
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,000
But maybe the sense of a...

1095
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
...being or...

1096
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
...maybe even God.

1097
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,000
...some figure of...

1098
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
...physcated figure watching him and...

1099
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,000
...maybe judging him.

1100
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,000
...sirping.

1101
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Ooh.

1102
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Boboacle.

1103
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,000
I think Boboacle...

1104
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000
...sees...

1105
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
...pathways.

1106
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Analysts...

1107
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,000
...number of pathways.

1108
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Every time he steps up one pathway, it extends.

1109
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,000
And keeps extending until it reaches another fork with another...

1110
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
...miriate of pathways.

1111
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
And each of those pathways...

1112
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
...extend off into the distance and every step that he takes.

1113
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Those pathways extend and continue.

1114
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Seeming like he can never...

1115
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
...gain any ground doesn't know which way to go.

1116
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Can you all give me well-saves, please?

1117
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Ooh, boy.

1118
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:21,000
Ooh, boy.

1119
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,000
19.

1120
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,000
18.

1121
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
10.

1122
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Oh!

1123
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Beautiful.

1124
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
It's not good.

1125
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Thimble your...

1126
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
...in your dream, looking around and...

1127
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000
...seeing these eyes.

1128
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Maybe feeling claws...

1129
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
...come up your back as things from above.

1130
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Whip down and swoop over you.

1131
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
You feel yourself moving, maybe perhaps hiding, darting away.

1132
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
And then suddenly...

1133
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
...your foot feels like it squelches...

1134
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
...into like wet soil.

1135
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Wet ground.

1136
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
You look down and you see...

1137
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,000
...mud covering in water.

1138
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,000
You look up and you see...

1139
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,000
...waterways.

1140
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
With dead trees hanging down...

1141
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
...lopsided, fallen over.

1142
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,000
And a load mist surrounds this...

1143
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,000
...swamp landscape around you.

1144
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Tragic...

1145
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,000
...you...

1146
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,000
...have this idea of this...

1147
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,000
...ominicent...

1148
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,000
...figure head, God, perhaps watching you observing you...

1149
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000
...seeing you...

1150
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,000
...following you, perhaps.

1151
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,000
And you're suddenly hit by a bright light...

1152
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,000
...and a wind that kind of...

1153
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,000
...crackles and...

1154
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,000
...scrapes across your skin and as it dies down...

1155
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
...surrounded by a red desert...

1156
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,000
...remains of...

1157
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000
...two dead scorpions in front of you.

1158
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:04,000
You look down in your body, you see the blood smeared across your chest.

1159
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
A boiacle you keep...

1160
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
...going down these paths leading you in different directions.

1161
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Not quite sure if you're gaining access to...

1162
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:18,000
...somewhere or getting closer to something or further away from something else.

1163
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,000
You turn around to look behind you seeing this...

1164
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
...where you came and you look back in front of you and...

1165
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:29,000
...the dense rainforest is in front of you.

1166
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,000
You see vines hanging down, looping down...

1167
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,000
...above you might hear...

1168
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,000
...or see a bird, perhaps, fly past.

1169
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Then will you look around at this swamp area...

1170
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
...and you see that...

1171
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:54,000
...you take a couple of steps forwards and it shifts and changes.

1172
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,000
You're now walking through...

1173
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:00,000
...I mean, what can only imagine to be...

1174
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:04,000
...the front desk of some sort of hotel, but...

1175
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
...it's decrepit.

1176
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Overgrown.

1177
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,000
You see panels on the walls...

1178
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:16,000
...that as you walk past, glint quickly with red.

1179
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,000
You look to your right and you see the remains of...

1180
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,000
...what were once maybe rats but have some weird...

1181
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:27,000
...veenous fly trap kind of mouth sticking out of the top.

1182
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Tragic, you're looking around this desert, looking around...

1183
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,000
...you move up to one of the top or one of these mounds...

1184
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,000
...and you see in the distance...

1185
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,000
...a scorch mark...

1186
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,000
...burned sand that is glanced over.

1187
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:49,000
And you find yourself there almost in an instant...

1188
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,000
...maybe taking a single step and you see...

1189
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
...bruns weapons on the floor, you see the eye...

1190
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,000
...of star looking around...

1191
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:02,000
...and behind you you see a figure.

1192
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,000
This one side of the face is completely burnt...

1193
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:10,000
...and where star had struck them.

1194
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,000
A boi acle.

1195
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,000
You hear from the forest...

1196
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,000
...like a ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, croakster...

1197
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
...in your native tongue...

1198
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,000
...a cooling from one of your other watches.

1199
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,000
You instinctively without knowing reply...

1200
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,000
...as you hear it echo out past you...

1201
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,000
...she gets passed on to the next one.

1202
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,000
You're inside your watch's hearts now suddenly looking around...

1203
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
...except for...

1204
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,000
...there's no rain for us on the outside...

1205
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,000
...there's black...

1206
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,000
...and purple...

1207
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,000
...stary...

1208
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,000
...smoke surrounding you.

1209
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Thimble...

1210
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:57,000
...you make your way closer to these...

1211
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
...creatures on the floor.

1212
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Quick as a flash...

1213
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,000
...you see it...

1214
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,000
...is smoke...

1215
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,000
...appeared as you turn your back...

1216
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,000
...under the lodge...

1217
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,000
...surrounded by...

1218
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
...mysterious objects...

1219
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
...and artifacts...

1220
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
...there have been gathered...

1221
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,000
...and a figure is standing in the center.

1222
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
Dressed in black...

1223
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,000
...and a couple band around the waist...

1224
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,000
...purple headband...

1225
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000
...sukka...

1226
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
...who was taking notes...

1227
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,000
...sukka's "hmmm...

1228
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,000
...I don't need these memories."

1229
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,000
...where is it?

1230
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,000
...gotten...

1231
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
...tragic.

1232
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,000
From behind this figure with a half-bump faced...

1233
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,000
...you now to see Sukka step out.

1234
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Was this your fate, sister?

1235
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,000
...to be destroyed by an ancient machine?

1236
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,000
That's barely new...

1237
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,000
...of the time that passed around it.

1238
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,000
...hmmm...

1239
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000
...your friends...

1240
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,000
...what were their names?

1241
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,000
...uh...

1242
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,000
...Aliadier...

1243
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,000
...and suddenly...

1244
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,000
...he appears.

1245
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Next to you...

1246
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,000
...looking around confused...

1247
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,000
...Mid combats.

1248
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,000
...and who is the other...

1249
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,000
...vulture?

1250
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,000
...was it not?

1251
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,000
...and he...

1252
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,000
...appears...

1253
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,000
...Mid...

1254
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,000
...battle.

1255
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,000
We cut back to...

1256
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,000
...Boboacl.

1257
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
...from out of this mist you see Sukka walk.

1258
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
...hmmm...

1259
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
...where is...

1260
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,000
...the stargun held?

1261
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,000
...you must know...

1262
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,000
...you're the expert here, clearly.

1263
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:51,000
...Ing of maybe a workshop where your long rifle sits...

1264
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,000
...where you've made tweaks to it, perhaps.

1265
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,000
...eached in new sightings.

1266
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,000
...I need all of you to roll me.

1267
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,000
...a whoop save.

1268
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Now, par fighters have survived the alleyway attack...

1269
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,000
...finally finding time to relax.

1270
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Though the knights may have other plans for them.

1271
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,000
They have survived arrows, swords, fangs and claws...

1272
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,000
...but what of the dangers within their dreams?

1273
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Reality bending streams of imagination that they are alone in their own minds...

1274
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,000
...with no one to save them.

1275
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,000
...getting they survive the night against their faltering minds...

1276
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,000
...will they wake themselves before it's too late?

1277
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,000
