The Unwritten Favor

In The Unwritten Favor, the party enters the Frostline Watchtower and comes face to face with Nyros.
A new faction is revealed, and they believe memory should never be owned, erased, or hoarded. Truth must be spoken. Once faced, it should be allowed to rest.
Nyros offers a bargain tied to truth and consequence. The party must decide how far they are willing to go once a confession is complete and silence is no longer an option.
This episode focuses on tension, authority, and responsibility. No clear villains. No clean victories. Only choices that leave marks.
What happens after the truth is spoken matters more than the truth itself.

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Last session.
A hush fell over the Whisper
14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,280
Fang.
That wasn't simple morning
15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,440
quiet.
The hearth sat dead, the air
16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,720
thinned, and Qasdea's door
answered.
17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
No knock.
Inside, her room was stripped of
18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,200
order.
Belongings scattered like a
19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,600
storm had moved through.
While she stood still, Osisa
20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080
found the note on the bedside
table, Qasdea's script sharp
21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,600
with resolve.
Something from Pyre Heart had
22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280
followed.
Knew her name and Orion's.
23
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,040
She would not risk the agents
distance with strategy.
24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Do not look for me, her oath
held.
25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Osisa sent a soft benediction
into the ledger's lines and
26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,920
received nothing back but
silence.
27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,440
In Zebulon's map room 3 sealed
plans from relvain pages clearly
28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,040
born from a high oath.
Binders Ledger flared warm on
29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,640
the wall.
Map Black Glass, Causeway,
30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,880
Cinder Reach, Vault, Frost Line,
Watchtower.
31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,680
Mimi's sharp eye flagged the
Providence, and Osisa argued for
32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,400
caution.
The agents agreed to share only
33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840
minimal updates upward until
they understood who pulled which
34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,480
strings they picked Frost Line
first, gathered cold weather
35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,000
cloaks, rune chalk, and a single
memory bloom, and stepped into
36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
the Shatter Peaks.
A mirroring drift awaited them.
37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Snow turned to ground glass and
light that lied.
38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Svara and Zebulun took painful
tumbles into sudden drops while
39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Mimi flowed across the treachery
and Osisa read the warp well
40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,240
enough to shepherd the line.
Glaive and Harkum rejoined at a
41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,600
fork and at Frost Line's base, a
pink haired artificer with a
42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,680
buzzing companion.
Nick's ember coil flashed fire
43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,080
and nerves before the sight of
their Ledger eased her stance.
44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,760
The final approach demanded
intent.
45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Glaive blinked Harkum near the
doors.
46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Mimi bounded with predatory
grace.
47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,800
Savara sprinted through biting
eddies, absorbing the cold
48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,800
sting.
Nix misjudged once and came away
49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640
singed but stubborn, then landed
true.
50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,840
Zebulon tried a mirror step
gambit that went sideways,
51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,880
dropped hard, and Asisa's prayer
threaded A narrow path through
52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960
the interference to set his knee
right.
53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Harcum shouldered a pull door
the wrong way and still forced
54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,400
it, an axe clattering from a
trip rig as they entered.
55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Inside, heat pulsed through a
split syndicate conduit while
56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680
failing ward rings glowed like
embers around the chamber.
57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Snow sublimated in mid air.
The tower felt alive and
58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,920
overheated, a heart laboring in
a chest of stone.
59
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,440
Footsteps sounded from above,
measured, unhurried.
60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Nairos descended, calm and
precise, amber light tracing his
61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
eyes as the conduit's pulse
answered his nearness.
62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Frost Line, he said, was a
message, not a weapon always
63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
meant to break 1st.
And now that they had come, he
64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440
would not leave the work
unfinished.
65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Three ward rings screamed as
they failed, stone cracked and
66
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640
sealed in flashes of orange and
Violet.
67
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,720
The pulse steadied under his
hand, with the tower itself
68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,960
bending to his will.
The agents of the Syndicate
69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,040
faced a choice that could set
the tone for every fracture yet
70
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,520
to come.
You came back.
71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,240
I would say I'm surprised, but
surprise implies uncertainty.
72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
You've never truly left this
conversation, no matter how
73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,519
loudly you declared it finished.
Don't flatter yourself.
74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
I came because silence was
becoming more dangerous than
75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,200
you.
This place still answers the
76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,160
truth, or at least it used to.
And I needed to know whether you
77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,400
still did too.
You remember the path better
78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
than you like to admit, even
after the Syndicate convinced
79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
themselves you had burned every
bridge behind you.
80
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,840
I told them what they needed so
they would stop asking questions
81
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,120
I was not ready to answer.
That does not mean I forgot
82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,160
where this store was or who
waits on the other side of it.
83
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,160
Yet you came alone, no wards
trailing you, no allies hovering
84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,160
just outside of my vision.
That's either confidence or
85
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
perhaps desperation.
It is containment.
86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,400
This place does not tolerate
witnesses, and neither do you.
87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,560
If I brought anyone else, you
would have known before they
88
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,400
crossed the threshold.
You sound tired.
89
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,440
I'm exhausted.
I am tired of being told you are
90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,880
a monster by people who profit
from the same systems you are
91
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,480
trying to tear down.
I am tired of pretending my fear
92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,920
for you is simple or clean.
Fear is never those things.
93
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,600
It's layered memory with teeth
sharpened by repetition.
94
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,720
Save the philosophy.
Explain why my son walked into
95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,160
your shadow and came back
sounding like you.
96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,480
He came back sounding like
himself.
97
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,920
I'm not sure what you're
speaking about that that fact
98
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,680
frightens you more than any
resemblance to me.
99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,840
He asked questions, and no child
should be asking questions that
100
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,280
carved pieces out of the world
when spoken aloud.
101
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,120
He asked the questions that
adults trained themselves not to
102
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
ask because the answers were
inconvenient.
103
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,440
That difference matters.
You let him believe he had a
104
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240
choice.
That is the cruelest part.
105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,920
He did have a choice.
You confused choice with safety
106
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,440
because the world taught you
that those two things were
107
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,920
interchangeable.
They're not.
108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000
You stand in the center of a war
over memory and truth and call
109
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,840
it clarity.
You cannot pretend that is
110
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,280
neutral ground.
No, I stand in a war that
111
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,280
existed long before I named it,
and I refuse to pretend it is a
112
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,920
it is holy just because
institutions benefit from it.
113
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,920
You let him see too much.
You open doors that cannot be
114
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,440
closed again.
I gave language to what he
115
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,800
already saw.
The Hollowed Host erases people
116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,400
politely.
The Syndicate, They keep their
117
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,720
ledgers of names and forget the
lives attached to them.
118
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,040
Orion noticed this.
I didn't teach him to see.
119
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,560
I only stopped lying when he
asked what he was seeing.
120
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,880
You should have sent him back
empty.
121
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640
Empty is how the institutions
return people when when they're
122
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,240
done extracting value from them.
You always do this.
123
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,160
You dress inevitability up as
consent and call it honesty.
124
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,200
I make inevitability visible.
Consent is what you are doing by
125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,960
standing here instead of leaving
when every instinct tells you to
126
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240
run.
You win.
127
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,560
Do not look so pleased.
This is not surrender, this is
128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960
triage.
I am choosing which truth I can
129
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,120
live with and which one will
kill me if I keep denying it.
130
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Almost you're choosing which
truth bleeds first.
131
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
You came for leverage, you
always do.
132
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
You looked at the world and
asked what I would bleed for,
133
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,720
and you found his name without
hesitation.
134
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
I did not search for leverage.
He came to me.
135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,360
He asked why memory is hoarded
like currency, why grief is
136
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,000
taxed, and why everyone pretends
that forgetting is some sort of
137
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
mercy.
I know what you are.
138
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,680
I know what your power does.
It does not burn or conquer, it
139
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840
settles.
It teaches patience till
140
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,280
resistance feels inefficient and
then calls that wisdom.
141
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,400
And yet 'cause they you crossed
the ward anyway.
142
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520
And I'm still saying yes.
But not because you trust me.
143
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Gods no trust would require
believing you are harmless.
144
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,720
And not because you believe me.
No, you lie like breathing.
145
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Sometimes because you must,
sometimes because you like how
146
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,840
it reshapes the room.
And say why you're here without
147
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,760
disguising it as accusation.
Because Orion is not a lesson,
148
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,880
he is not a consequence, he is
not proof your ideas work.
149
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,760
He is my son and I will not let
him be turned into a philosophy
150
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,040
experiment.
And he is someone who asked why
151
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
the world needs forgetting to
function at all.
152
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:12,440
Then hear this clearly.
Find me, Mark me, put whatever
153
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,920
part of yourself you need into
me if it keeps your hands off of
154
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
him and your influence away from
his future.
155
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,800
I'm not taking you as some sort
of trade or as payment.
156
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Then define what I am to you
before I decide you're lying
157
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,840
again.
It's really easy.
158
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:33,840
You are a witness, someone who
understands the cruelty of
159
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,800
memory that never fades and the
cruelty of forgetting that is
160
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160
forced.
Someone, Someone who will never
161
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,560
worship me.
I want you honest when they call
162
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,480
me a monster and call it
morality.
163
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,520
I want intent.
I want to know the moment
164
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,600
resistance becomes the habit
instead of just a thought.
165
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Nero's swear to me.
Orion remains free.
166
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,320
No compulsion, no change
disguised as guidance or
167
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,640
destiny.
He does remain free.
168
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,440
He he can walk away from me at
any time and he would know owe
169
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,640
me nothing.
And if he does?
170
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Then I will mourn that loss
honestly, and I would let him
171
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
go.
There's one more condition and
172
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,960
it will decide whether this ends
now.
173
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240
I wouldn't expect that reaching
success with something like this
174
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
would go without a condition
speak it.
175
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Stop let's write this story I
don't need the allegory please
176
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,480
just tell me what's real.
But nothing ever seemed to be
177
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:52,210
real.
But she's some colors that don't
178
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:54,210
exist.
Painting my painting
179
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:56,650
counterfeit.
Bless every truth I knew just
180
00:10:56,650 --> 00:11:00,210
starts to twist can from a calm
in a world like this.
181
00:11:00,690 --> 00:11:04,520
I've been my tongue till the
words went dry Like a chief
182
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320
disguise.
I see the truth when I close my
183
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,440
eyes.
The hardest part was a great
184
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,160
goodbye and fake the ache can
master train.
185
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,440
I've been lost inside my name.
All the mirrors look the same,
186
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,960
but I don't see my face.
Face with stop, I've been.
187
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Running every way lost the
blast.
188
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,840
Welcome back to Crit Habits here

We are here to complete another
192
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,840
mission here in another episode
of Crit Habits with the agents
193
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,800
of the of the syndicate.
Go ahead and say hello, agents.
194
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Hello.
Hello.
195
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:20,880
All right, so as we left off
last session, you step into the
196
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,920
frost line Watchtower, and as
you remember on the watchtower
197
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,080
floor, as you all enter the
doors, cold stone presses close,
198
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,960
even in the open air.
Wind howls through broken arches
199
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,840
and drags thin ice across the
floor like whispering fingers.
200
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,080
The height of your stomach
tightens.
201
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,880
There's no railing, there's no
protection.
202
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,080
This place was built for
watchers, not for comfort.
203
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,000
The chamber is empty.
Almost a single figure stands at
204
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,520
the center of the tower floor.
Back to you.
205
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,280
No guards, no Thrones, no
sigils.
206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Just presents heavy and
deliberate, like the air before
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,480
a storm snaps.
Neros.
208
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040
He does not turn when you
arrive.
209
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,880
He does not acknowledge
footsteps, armor, breath.
210
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,720
He already knows you are here.
Silence stretches long enough to
211
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,480
feel intentional.
Then, without facing you, Neros
212
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,520
speaks.
You made it further than most.
213
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,360
He turns slowly.
His eyes pass over you, not
214
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,040
lingering, not judging,
measuring, taking inventory.
215
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,200
The wind surges through the
tower, the tower rattling loose
216
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,520
stone near us, tilts his head
slightly and then looks at all
217
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,400
of you, 1 by 1.
You came here, there must be a
218
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,240
purpose.
Do you want her returned?
219
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,320
What?
Do you want her returned?
220
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Who do you speak of precisely?
Who do I speak of?
221
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Well, you tell me, when you
pictured this door opening, who
222
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040
did you expect to see?
Definitely not your bitch ass.
223
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,080
I'm going to be honest.
Monster from the Syndicate
224
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,560
reports, perhaps the Heretic,
the Heretic from the Hollowed
225
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Host Bells, or perhaps the
friend you abandoned in favor of
226
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,680
a simpler story.
Friend is arguable, mutual is
227
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,200
most likely.
I stay silent, but I am
228
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,320
definitely making a face at him.
I'm.
229
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240
Kind of I stepped in front of
Zebulon and I kind of like
230
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,760
pushing it behind me a little
bit.
231
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,680
I think you misunderstand.
I'm not the friend I'm talking
232
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:18,920
about, but with that in mind, it
does seem that you've been very
233
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,480
busy rehearsing what I am.
None of you stopped to wonder
234
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,640
who I might be talking to while
you all argue about me.
235
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Argue We're waiting for you.
What is it you brought us?
236
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Who is it you're talking about?
Your resistance, truth, and
237
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,920
memory is astounding.
Let's recap.
238
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,720
You did not come when Orion
disappeared.
239
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,400
You did not come when the Bells
swallowed names right in front
240
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520
of you.
You did not come when the
241
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Syndicate rewrote its failures
as your orders.
242
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320
You're so kind of tilt his head
a little bit, weighing each of
243
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,280
you individually.
And you didn't come when your
244
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,840
precious Castilla went missing.
And as he says that, he snaps
245
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,440
his fingers and right in front
of him appears a tee fling,
246
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,760
beaten, bloodied, bound in
chains.
247
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Is she gay?
So tell.
248
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Me something.
Oh, the on hand her.
249
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Oh, she said.
The answer to that question is
250
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,720
yes.
OK.
251
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,440
If you don't get your slimy
little hands off of her, I'm
252
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,520
going to RIP you limb from limb
and feast upon your flesh.
253
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,560
You will become a casserole.
So did you come to save the
254
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,280
world, or did you come to save
her?
255
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Why not both?
Why not both?
256
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,760
I warn you though, do not take
another step.
257
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,200
She's alive right now because
you all are listening.
258
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,800
I would like it to remain that
way.
259
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,560
What do you want an eye for?
An eye.
260
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,119
I have no eyes.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
261
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,839
No hair too.
That's gone.
262
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:26,599
Sorry, what?
Let's frame the situation before
263
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,920
you ask.
No spell dragged her here, no
264
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,520
leash pulled her through the
dark.
265
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,440
She walked.
She walked into this watchtower
266
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,000
alone.
No syndicate wards, no escorts,
267
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,000
none of you to accompany her,
and no plan that survived 3
268
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,160
questions.
She came because of Orion and
269
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,160
now she's here saying because of
you.
270
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,400
OK.
So why did she choose me?
271
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,040
She left you.
Maybe because you took her son,
272
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Maybe because you blinded her in
the darkness.
273
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
There's a lot of variables that
could play into this.
274
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,160
However, it's not our fault,
it's yours.
275
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,760
You say that like it's a prayer,
not like it's evidence she came
276
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,160
here.
You did not.
277
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,720
That fact sits directly between
us, whether you acknowledge it
278
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,600
or not.
Hey, what?
279
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:25,040
What?
Pause.
280
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Back it up.
First off, what are you doing
281
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,240
here in this tower?
We obviously know that there's a
282
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,560
big war going on, and we're here
to fix Fractures 2.
283
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Where's your son?
Let's back up for just a moment.
284
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,480
Mimi, I do not believe that your
character would know that Kasdea
285
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,760
has a son.
I unless I'm wrong, I don't
286
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,880
believe Tazaya has has informed
you of that.
287
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
I know that she has informed of
Sisa of that.
288
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,120
Yep, Yep, you're correct.
I don't.
289
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,200
Oh, Sisa, you take the wheel.
Cece, you take the wheel.
290
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Take the wheel.
Josisa take the wheel.
291
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,920
Spencer, you're going to have to
refresh my memory on this.
292
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Wasn't Orion brought up in front
of the group as a whole when
293
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,600
Neros first turned on everyone?
I'm sorry, say again.
294
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Yeah, because she she had that
dream or whatever and she shared
295
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,400
that with you and I assume you
shared it with that with others
296
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240
too.
Neros I was riding.
297
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,880
Him in front of everybody, also
by name.
298
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Orion, but.
Not by like explaining the whole
299
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,960
family tree.
Yeah, right.
300
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,680
My my memory serves as as
nearest brought up Orion.
301
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Or something like that.
Oh, you are correct that.
302
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Yeah, you are correct.
I apologize.
303
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,960
Yeah.
So that was.
304
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680
That was his proof to no memory
basically correct.
305
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160
Yes, I, yes, I apologize.
That happened at the pyre heart
306
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,000
of chords.
So yes, we can revert to
307
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,240
everything I've said over the
last minute and you may
308
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,920
continue.
So you want to list a list of
309
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,520
what I'm doing?
Fine.
310
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,160
What I've done is I've treated
her like every other person who
311
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,520
steps into a story that they
don't control.
312
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:35,000
I offered her terms, I set
boundaries, and I hurt her, and
313
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240
she refused both.
You might call it cruelty.
314
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,120
I call it a consequence.
I have to wonder why you're
315
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,760
speaking with us Nero's at this
point, because you already made
316
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,680
us an offer to join you and said
we'd die if we didn't, and we
317
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,640
obviously chose not to.
So why are we even talking at
318
00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,680
this point?
I suppose, I suppose it's my
319
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,920
humanity.
I don't look for death, I don't
320
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,480
look to harm and hurt.
But I'd like for you to clarify
321
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,840
something for me.
Did you all come here because
322
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,720
she matters to you, or because
you can't stand the idea that
323
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,440
she chose to stand near me?
I would skin myself alive if it
324
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,120
meant having her back.
I don't give a flying fuck about
325
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,680
you or your whatever you're
calling a revolution.
326
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Whatever you're doing, I care
more about the person you
327
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,280
currently have bound in chains.
Oh her.
328
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,880
And as he kind of says that, he
kind of twitches his head, like
329
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:53,400
nodding to her, and you all just
see as a another kind of cut
330
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,920
goes from her temple, down her
cheekbone, connects just below
331
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:05,240
her jawline, not from any
physical action, but a clear
332
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,760
slow slicing across her face and
blood kind of falls out.
333
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480
You want to take her home?
You mean the syndicate?
334
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,040
The syndicate wants to take her
home.
335
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,320
The people who decided what she
was allowed to question.
336
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,640
We honestly, currently, you
can't trust anything.
337
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,280
We can't trust the Syndicate
fully, we can't trust them
338
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,000
fully, we can't trust you fully.
But I know that we can trust
339
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,960
each other and currently you're
holding on to somebody who
340
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,400
matters.
It doesn't.
341
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,360
We don't give a flying fuck
about the Syndicate.
342
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,080
At least I don't.
I've questioned them at every
343
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,120
turn, every single turn, every
single Rd.
344
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,760
I don't.
It's just give her back.
345
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,120
You're running around in
circles, making us guess, making
346
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:58,560
us figure out riddles for your
stupid little game.
347
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,360
This is not a game, this is
somebody's life.
348
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,520
Give her back.
You for you, the people who
349
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080
claimed to trust her and then
stopped listening when her
350
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,320
questions made you a little bit
uncomfortable, when she vanished
351
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,200
and you did nothing.
What are we supposed to do?
352
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,800
She told us not to look for her.
They respect her wishes.
353
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:25,840
And now?
She's.
354
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:32,960
From us, that was her decision.
So this was her.
355
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Decision Also, we can't change
her mind.
356
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:43,080
We can't go back into the past
and go, oh, Arfa Nugen.
357
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,120
So this must also be her
decision then.
358
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,800
And you're also kind of take a
step towards her, half step to
359
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,440
the side where she's kind of in
front of him.
360
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,160
She's obviously bound and
chained on her knees.
361
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,200
He'll take his shield and kind
of rest it on top of her, the
362
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:04,880
ankle bone, and then lean down
hard and you can hear the crunch
363
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,240
of bone.
She chose this, right?
364
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,280
That's what you're saying.
She chose this.
365
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,080
What do you want, dude?
Quite actually.
366
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,040
What do you want?
We're all here standing up in
367
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,680
this tower with you as you
monologue at us and proceed to
368
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,320
break the bones of our friend.
What do you want?
369
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:34,960
Friend is a generous term, but
since you asked so plainly, I
370
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080
will ask plainly if you want her
returned.
371
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Good, then we treat this as an
exchange, not a theft, not a
372
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,480
ransom, A favor for a life.
We'll say a.
373
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,440
Favor.
Favor, do we agree?
374
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,880
Or you can what's you can come
take her.
375
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,520
No, I step.
Forward and and I will take her
376
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,520
place if you let her go.
I'm not interested in clerics on
377
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:22,960
the spiral down the drain.
Mimi's going to afford to go.
378
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,880
I will return you a favor.
If it means that we can have
379
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,920
Cassadaya back, I will return
your favor.
380
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800
You can call upon this favor
whenever you may wish.
381
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Oh no, it's a specific.
It's a specific.
382
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Favorite right now?
OK, what's your favorite right
383
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,360
now?
What's the favorite?
384
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,080
The precious syndicate won't be
very happy.
385
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,040
What's new?
And what about the rest of you?
386
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000
The cat speaks.
Does she speak for all of you?
387
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,640
You.
Zebulon?
388
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,240
What?
What about you?
389
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,640
I'm going to need more details
before I agree to anything.
390
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,160
Do you view me as evil?
I think evil is a matter of
391
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,080
perspective, and I think we're
on different ends of that
392
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,840
perspective.
I'll hear.
393
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,360
You about cleric?
Am I fallen or simply
394
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,160
misunderstood?
Or am I evil?
395
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,200
You have the means to know.
You are an oath breaker as it
396
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,640
stands.
Whether or not you are evil
397
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,640
remains to be seen.
I broke no oath.
398
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,160
The oath went away when Velora
died.
399
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:47,480
There was no oath to break.
You killed Velora, you killed
400
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:55,120
your goddess for power.
You stand in the face of
401
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,240
everything that is.
It is to be a cleric.
402
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,680
You act tough because being
honest would crush you.
403
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,040
I make no judgment on you beyond
what I have seen.
404
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
The gods will choose where you
belong.
405
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,400
So this is where we got to kind
of like play a little bit of a
406
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,760
play a little bit back and forth
here.
407
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
If I need to speak as glave, how
do?
408
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,480
How should I handle that?
I would just.
409
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Kind of monotony robotic.
Yeah, I would say that would be
410
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,600
fine.
I can I can differentiate
411
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,760
between the two.
OK, So then Glaive will take a
412
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,840
step toward Mimi.
I think you're roughly the same
413
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:48,600
height, and he'll slowly kind of
lean in and just say Cat.
414
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,400
Do I attack him now?
No.
415
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,760
I was being diplomatic.
He is a.
416
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Problem or being diplomatic
Glave.
417
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,560
There's a specific time for when
we break his skull open.
418
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,160
That time is not now.
We need to get Cassadea back
419
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,720
safely in our arms.
We cannot cross that threshold.
420
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Do not cross the threshold or we
lose her.
421
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,480
Mimi and Glave, can I have
competing persuasion checks
422
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,600
please?
I'm not trying to persuade.
423
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,960
No, no, no.
She's trying to persuade you not
424
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,600
to attack.
Oh, I got a 27.
425
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,080
Oh no.
No, no, no, you haven't even
426
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,920
rolled yet, man.
I think you're gonna need, I
427
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,800
think you're gonna need that 20
girl.
428
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Can you beat the 27?
She came within that 20 OH.
429
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,800
God, I don't.
I don't know.
430
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
I Oh no.
No.
431
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,680
If if you give me an AD 20,
you're you're solid.
432
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280
I mean, I have another
inspiration to die, can I use
433
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,880
it?
Sure, what the hell?
434
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,640
OK, please, please no.
Sorry, I feel like he's not
435
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,560
convinced to not attack, but
he's he's not trying to convince
436
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040
himself to attack either.
He's looking forward.
437
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,600
He's just asking guidance, Yeah.
So I mean, glave at this point.
438
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,040
Yeah, glave at this point, you
would not necessarily fear the
439
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,200
compulsion to attack, but you
also feel like you've been made
440
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,720
to eliminate problems.
And the way that you eliminate
441
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,280
problems is by striking and
counting.
442
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,200
And you even after me means
like, don't, don't freaking do
443
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
it.
You're still like, you know,
444
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:43,040
that's me.
OK, can I ask how far away?
445
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,200
Are we from your house?
I would say about 30 feet,
446
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
you've just all of you have just
kind of entered the the
447
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:57,200
watchtower and are kind of lined
up by the door kind of in like
448
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,520
1/2 circle almost where Neros is
standing in the center of the
449
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,360
stone floor of the watchtower.
Can I ask Neros a question?
450
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,400
Sure you don't need my
permission?
451
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,600
So, Neros, what is the favor?
I will fulfill the favour if you
452
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,080
tell me it immediately right now
and we switch.
453
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,800
You give us Cassadilla, you go
on your merry way.
454
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,320
I finished the thingy and then
we're good.
455
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,080
We're chilling.
You don't need all of us to
456
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,080
agree with the favour.
And I do need a life to agree to
457
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,600
the favour.
Son of a nugget.
458
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,240
OK, all right, one second,
Neros, if you'll excuse us.
459
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320
And I'm going to like bring
everybody in like a little team
460
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,800
huddle.
All right, everybody, football
461
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,040
huddle.
Does anybody want to like roll
462
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,640
an insight to see?
Yeah.
463
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,040
About nearest is like if he's if
he's planning anything, you
464
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,200
know, because if you if you lose
focus on him or his attention.
465
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,120
Oh, you're right.
We know.
466
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,080
He's planning something.
I mean, yeah, but like the on
467
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,000
the level of severity.
I'm rolling for Insight 18.
468
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,800
What would I have Spencer or
what would Nearest have to, I'm
469
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:20,960
going to say hide his intent?
His his real intent.
470
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Let's call that a kind of
loosely A deception check, I'll
471
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760
say.
That you're you're kind of
472
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240
hiding your true intentions.
Sure.
473
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:40,040
That's Charisma 12.
So Nearest's overall intent
474
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,080
based on what you can see and
judge is not so much vindictive
475
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,400
or evil at this point, right?
He's not looking.
476
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,600
He's not looking for a fight.
Got it?
477
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Not at this point.
Got it.
478
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,720
OK.
All right, So I'm going to turn
479
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,160
to my group.
I'm going to actually I'm just
480
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,400
going to still maintaining eye
contact.
481
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,680
I'm going to speak out loud and
go.
482
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,720
He not trying to fight us
currently is simply asking us a
483
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,520
favor.
If we want Cassadia back, we all
484
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,800
have to agree to the favor.
I understand this might go
485
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,160
against your oath or your
programming or however you're
486
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,040
built or structured, but I swear
to God, if we lose Cassadia over
487
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,680
this, I will personally hunt
each and everyone of you down
488
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,920
across the galaxies and eat you.
Why have we not asked for from
489
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,960
her?
Her mouth is not found.
490
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Her mouth is gagged.
Oh, and that's not in the
491
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,040
picture.
Well, I I'm sorry, it wouldn't
492
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600
do it because it ran into a
sexuality guideline.
493
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:57,240
What do you want from me?
You know, then never mind move.
494
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,160
The gag from her so we can we
can speak to our friend.
495
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,160
You wish to speak to her.
Yes, we wish to know her
496
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,720
thoughts.
I'm not sure she has much to say
497
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:15,440
right now.
All right gang, what are we
498
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,920
thinking?
Speak out loud or forever hold
499
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,840
your peace right the fuck now.
I'm concerned that might not
500
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,440
even be Castea right?
There might.
501
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,880
That might just be an illusion.
It appeared out of nowhere,
502
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,880
hasn't said anything.
Exactly, that's why we need the
503
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,000
gag removed.
Real quick, so just a couple of
504
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,880
things.
When Nero started smashing her
505
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:48,040
bones, she absolutely screamed,
but you would imagine the the
506
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,640
scream with like a muffled
sound.
507
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:00,840
She she absolutely has made
noise when Nero's smashed her
508
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,240
bones.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
509
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,840
Oh, Sisa.
Skeptical.
510
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,280
I don't know.
I think we could try to break
511
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,360
her free.
I've got a handful of tools
512
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,000
available to us.
I can use mislead to become
513
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,600
invisible and leave a duplicate
are.
514
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,360
We having this conversation out
loud in front of him.
515
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Oh, Sisa my.
Understanding is that we were
516
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,600
having a huddle away from him.
No, because we need to keep our
517
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,480
attention on him, I tell.
You what what I would allow is,
518
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,639
is a huddle of perception and
I'm going to have you do that in
519
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,400
just a second.
But basically what would happen
520
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,560
is Mimi would call the huddle of
everybody where she can be
521
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
positioned to not only talk to
you guys in the huddle, but also
522
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,440
keep an eye on Neros.
I would allow that that.
523
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,920
Well, that would be fine.
But yes, absolutely Neros give
524
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,680
me a perception check to see if
you can hear what they say.
525
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:10,160
Sisa 21.
You said 21. 21. 21 So yeah,
526
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,760
with a 21, you can't necessarily
hear everything word, you know,
527
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,120
syllable for syllable, but you
can hear, you can pick out words
528
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,400
that they're saying and you can
you can basically kind of
529
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,240
formulate what you think they're
talking about, but not
530
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,240
necessarily the full transcript,
if you will.
531
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,120
You need evidence that this is
in fact Kazdea.
532
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,000
Yeah, that'd be helpful.
Maybe if you could let her
533
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
speak.
That's all we ask.
534
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,360
As I said, I'm not sure if she's
up for speaking, but if you
535
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,160
insist and he kind of leans
forward harder while he still
536
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,040
has his on on his shield on her
ankle and removes the gag from
537
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,920
her mouth.
Kazdea is just going to scream
538
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,720
outright scream.
No words, just scream.
539
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,080
I need everybody to give me an
intimidation check except for
540
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,600
Neros and Kazdea.
Basically you're making this
541
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,080
intimidation check to avoid the
effects of intimidation.
542
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Basically you're making a a
check against intimidation with
543
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,920
this blood curdling scream that
Kazdea is letting loose.
544
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,600
Great.
I dropped my dice.
545
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,560
It's gone.
Right away.
546
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:40,880
I got an 18.
Knife I got.
547
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,320
Who got under a 21?
That's me.
548
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,720
He.
Said this was intimidation.
549
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680
Yeah, you're making a contested
intimidation check.
550
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,080
I'm going to burn an
inspiration, see if I can get a
551
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,760
better.
Yeah, I only got, I only got 19.
552
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,760
So we might be cooked.
We're cooked.
553
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:11,680
No fudge.
Well then Glave got 22.
554
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:20,400
OK, he will succeed Glave.
So everybody except Glave will
555
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,240
fail the role.
I won't necessarily tell you
556
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,880
what that means yet, but you may
continue.
557
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,080
I would like to cast.
Suggestion at Kasdea.
558
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,800
Oh, I.
Would like to suggest please
559
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,040
explain what's going on here.
Suggestion that requires some
560
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,280
form of.
Manila, It.
561
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Doesn't wear a wisdom saving
pro.
562
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,000
What about verbal or semantic
components?
563
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,080
Verbal yeah, she missing a tone
the.
564
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:55,400
The thing out loud.
Yeah, you.
565
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,640
Suggest a course of activity
limited to a sentence or two and
566
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,800
magically influence the creature
you can see within range that
567
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,440
can hear and understand you.
So basically, yeah, if she just
568
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,760
like does what I said.
Please explain be able to do it
569
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,560
though, right?
It yeah, it does have to be
570
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,640
physically possible and it can't
be harmful to themselves.
571
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,560
So like, throw yourself onto a
spear?
572
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,320
They won't do that.
Got it.
573
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080
And if it's not physically
possible, they can't.
574
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,960
So you so zebby on you would say
something along the lines of
575
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,840
explain what's going on here,
correct?
576
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,160
Yep.
OK, so you would say that out
577
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:40,280
loud looking directly at Kaz
Daya and whoops, I should turn
578
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:46,040
that off Kaz, they give me a
wisdom saving throw.
579
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,200
I would allow you if you wish to
fail the same voluntarily.
580
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,320
Well, I failed anyway.
I got a nap 1.
581
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,080
Oh, inspiration.
With a Nat one, I'm going to say
582
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,840
that she's in so much pain that
she can't even formulate a
583
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:11,840
thought right now.
OK, so Eros.
584
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,680
The command lasts up to 8 hours.
I can wait.
585
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,440
I can wait.
I.
586
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,760
Can wait.
Can we?
587
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,200
Glave is going to lean into the
huddle again and and say we are
588
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,320
having a huddle to determine
what to do next.
589
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,320
Should I attack him?
No.
590
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Please I can appear so I can
pull out my guardian.
591
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,280
Susa doesn't say anything and
she just makes very strong eye
592
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,160
contact.
Like what, bitch?
593
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,440
Mimi is going.
To Mimi is going to pull out her
594
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:59,760
Ledger and is going to write.
Glaive deploys his guardian so
595
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,360
the thing that kind of looks
like a Cape on his back begins
596
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:08,120
to shed scales and form into
what is what is known as a relic
597
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,760
forged guardian.
It's a horsey.
598
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,920
Horsey.
It's a horsey.
599
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,600
Right.
It's it's it formulates kind of
600
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,840
like a steed, correct?
It's like a cat.
601
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,200
Yeah, it's more cat like.
Oh, OK.
602
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:34,560
OK, so Eros, what is the favor?
Before we agree to anything,
603
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,800
what is the favor?
Give us an inkling, a hint,
604
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,440
anything.
I'm beginning to bore.
605
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:51,240
A mother trucker.
And I feel like this deployment
606
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,880
of, of what did you call it, a
guardian, I feel.
607
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,200
Like that's just his point.
I feel like that was quite.
608
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Oz hear me out, Hear me out.
Hear me out, hear me out.
609
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,720
Glave is 3 years old.
He does not understand.
610
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,960
He does not understand.
Forgive him.
611
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:16,320
He is simply an A child, OK?
Already in action.
612
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,480
If Miro.
Fires a spell at us.
613
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,280
I would like to cast Glow of
invulnerability over the party.
614
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,160
He is simply a child.
Just give us Cassadaya and we
615
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,840
will leave.
Please, if any shred of humanity
616
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,040
is inside of you, as you said
before, please give us back
617
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,240
Cassadaya.
I'll pledge an oath to you right
618
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:44,840
here, right now.
Give her back.
619
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:50,120
Miros holds his hand up out
toward the party, this huddle,
620
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,440
and begins to chant a spell.
And I need everybody to roll
621
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,240
initiative.
Mother of Mary.
622
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,760
We are going to start with
Neros.
623
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,280
He will get a effectively a
surprise action in this
624
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880
instance.
How does that impact?
625
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,040
Yeah, how does the ready to
action go?
626
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:25,680
I would say that the readied
action what what is the spell
627
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,200
that you're casting?
Globe of invulnerability
628
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,360
basically just fizzles all
spells in like a 10 foot circle
629
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,960
from the outside.
Or lower.
630
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,400
OK, so any spell of fifth level
or lower?
631
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,920
Cancel with that.
Barrier can't affect creatures.
632
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,360
OK.
So you're guessing a six, six
633
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,000
level?
Yep.
634
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,920
OK.
As a reaction to him casting a
635
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,760
spell at us.
So that's like the triggering
636
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,760
condition for the ready to
action.
637
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,600
Sure.
OK, so you let's see here.
638
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,480
An immobile, faintly shimmering
barrier springs the distance of
639
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,240
10 foot radius around you and
remains for the duration.
640
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:20,360
I'm good, I can keep going.
OK, the so the.
641
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:23,760
As my action, I'll take my
action.
642
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,920
Let me keep playing up.
I never even said what I was
643
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,120
doing.
I guess so.
644
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:36,400
Nearest hold his hand up, we
rolled initiative and he
645
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,480
finishes his thought on it.
Seems like I'm being attacked
646
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,400
and he kind of making eye
contact with Glaive and he looks
647
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:52,360
down at the guardian and he says
well this isn't fair die and the
648
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,080
guardian immediately fizzles out
of existence.
649
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,040
There's a ninth level power Word
Kill.
650
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,760
Jesus Christ guys, This is why I
said we shouldn't attack him.
651
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,000
And yet.
I warn you now, next time it may
652
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:20,160
not just be a simple familiar
spell that gets destroyed the
653
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:27,320
way it can create another steed
and that'll be his action.
654
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,080
And he won't, he won't move and
he didn't.
655
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,960
He won't do any harm to any
living things.
656
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,280
OK, do you have any other
actions for your turn?
657
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,080
No, OK.
Not on this.
658
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,520
Not on this turn.
Sure.
659
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,560
OK.
We'll move to Mimi.
660
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,760
Mimi ain't never done this
before.
661
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,720
So brace with me, crew.
Mimi is going to drop to both of
662
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:58,800
her knees and plead for
Cassidy's return.
663
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:05,840
She's going to go Dang.
Listen, Eros, this is somebody I
664
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,920
would trade anything for.
I'll take an oath for you.
665
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,840
I'll bleed for you.
I'll kill for you.
666
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,840
Just give her back.
Let's say what?
667
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Let's have you give a persuasion
check nearest to you with
668
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,360
contested persuasion check,
please.
669
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,400
It's a very high DCI will say
though I'm actually nearest.
670
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,640
Don't do that.
Don't do contested.
671
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,840
Let's see.
Let's see if she passed the DC
672
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,160
first it.
Can be contested pretty good.
673
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,600
Nuts.
I mean, that's actually not that
674
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,000
bad. 3020 I got.
A 30.
675
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Yeah, holy fuck.
Is a 3020.
676
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,480
He will not be persuaded.
OK.
677
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,320
I appreciate your effort, but
I'd like to hear what the rest
678
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,960
have to say.
We.
679
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,800
Mean he's going to hold.
OK.
680
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:03,880
Any anything else?
Yeah, I'll, I'll allow the
681
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:09,560
dropping to your knees and
pleading with nearest
682
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,680
effectively as a speaking
action.
683
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Call it a bone.
Yeah.
684
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:20,000
Action.
And I approve of bleeding.
685
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,120
And Mimi's going to unshoot her
claws and cut herself.
686
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:30,360
She goes, I'll bleed for you.
Give her back Mimi 2.
687
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,800
Got it.
So she will effectively just
688
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,120
unsheath her claws and just.
Are we talking for attention or
689
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,560
effect?
What are we talking here?
690
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,640
Fact.
What do you mean affect your
691
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,280
attention?
What are those two differences?
692
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,160
Don't.
Worry about it.
693
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,800
OK, So you'll just kind of cut
along your arm, just kind of put
694
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,320
a gash about we'll say halfway
up your arm and blood will start
695
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,240
spilling from your from your
arm.
696
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,800
Anything else for your turn,
Mimi?
697
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:25,000
Mimi, Mimi, you like, watch as
your pupils narrow.
698
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,840
Like, Mimi's eyes are normally
big and, you know, lovable and
699
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,200
stuff like that, but her pupils
become more cat like as she
700
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,000
stares at Nero's.
OK.
701
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,320
All right then.
You're done.
702
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,800
All right, we will move to
Zebulon.
703
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,000
All right, so I'm going to start
by quickening the spell mislead
704
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,640
from my mask.
So like a clone of myself
705
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,960
appears where I am, it looks
like nothing happens, but I
706
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,640
become invisible and can move
and leave that duplicate there.
707
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,480
And I'm going to approach Kasdea
and try to undo the bindings.
708
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,360
I'm with an invisibility.
Well, it looks like I'm still
709
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:21,320
standing by the party.
I assume that's within 5 feet of
710
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,320
Neros.
First, let me check one thing
711
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,680
real quick.
Zooming Castea takes up a square
712
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,560
and you take up a square.
I'd be 10 feet.
713
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,880
Castea would be 5 feet.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
714
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,440
I'm just making sure that you
could cast the spell inside the
715
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,080
globe of invulnerability.
So OK, Yeah, double checking
716
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,280
that.
So yes, the answer to your
717
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,280
question, Nero says yes, he
would be within five.
718
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Well, he would be within 10 feet
of of you, 5 feet from Castea.
719
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Yeah.
No, I, I'm sorry, I, I, I, I do
720
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,960
have to say that he, he, you are
5 feet from both Kasdea and
721
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Neros.
Effectively Neros and Kasdea if
722
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,000
we're talking is like a grid
form.
723
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,920
They are occupying the same
space.
724
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,120
Kasdea is right up against
Neros.
725
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:23,040
I'll just simply say Nebulon.
I have no eyes yet I see all.
726
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,160
I'll give you an opportunity to
step back if you choose.
727
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,360
Have I already begun on doing
the bindings?
728
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,440
I'll have said that like as
you're approaching.
729
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,200
Yeah, yeah.
We'll say that as you are
730
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,880
approaching it, enter the five
foot space in front of them,
731
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:51,120
that he says what he just said.
They're in the same square.
732
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,400
That makes a lot of the spells
I've got less effective.
733
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,040
Thorn Web.
I think I might just try to use
734
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,360
shocking grasp so within melee
range.
735
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,280
OK, give me a melee spell
attack.
736
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,960
We got a 30.
Wow.
737
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,720
Yeah, I'm impressed.
Yeah.
738
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:24,360
Hits OK give me, give me damage
all.
739
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,800
Right, I think.
Are we in like the third bracket
740
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,640
of damage now?
3D8.
741
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,240
Are you casting that at third
level?
742
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:44,120
It's a can trip and I am like
12th level.
743
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,880
Yeah, so at 11 you get an extra
5 and 11.
744
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,640
One of them wasn't 8.
Just a moment.
745
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,520
Caste.
What's your Max HP?
746
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,320
87.
All right, I did 24 lightning
747
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:12,440
damage to Neros and then I would
back up just like 5 feet or
748
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,360
whatever after having zapped
him.
749
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,200
It's going to be Neros and caste
because they're going to find
750
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,560
the same space.
So how much damage?
751
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,080
Not how shocking grasp works
though.
752
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,360
Yeah, this is like a single
target spell.
753
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,960
Yeah, he literally touches like
my arm or my shoulder.
754
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,440
It doesn't.
Target retreat.
755
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,800
OK.
And then it wraps him and
756
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,080
disables his reaction, so I'm
going to back away.
757
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,680
OK, how much damage was it
again?
758
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:43,240
24 OK.
All right, so does that also
759
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,480
give away your position now that
you are attacking?
760
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,080
Oh yeah, the casting a spell
does it.
761
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,000
OK, yeah, but so I mean, I
already saw him.
762
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,520
Well, I mean fair, but just for
yes.
763
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,400
Yeah, he told me.
Narration person.
764
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,920
Yeah, yeah.
So as you go to cast mislead,
765
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:05,160
quickened physical embodiment of
yourself appears basically right
766
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,760
where you were.
You go invisible, sneak around
767
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,800
to right in front of Kasdea and
Neros, and as you go to touch
768
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,320
his we'll say his shoulder and
cast Shocking grasp.
769
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,720
You appear right in front of
Neros and Kasdea and let loose
770
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:27,240
the lightning damage AKA Emperor
Palpatine style.
771
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,600
Anything else for you that'll?
Be it.
772
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,200
All right.
We will then move to OSISA, so
773
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,040
again, let's see.
So you've just seen Zebulon, who
774
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,760
you thought was right behind
you, now appear right in front
775
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,840
of Neros and Kasdea and deal
damage to Neros.
776
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,120
Kasdea and Neros got it.
No, just just Neros.
777
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,920
OK, let me just double check
something real quick.
778
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:06,840
Yeah, Point of order with
shocking grasp, and this is I
779
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,440
guess kind of mechanical
question from a new DM.
780
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,320
If you catch shocking graphs on
a target target that is touching
781
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,680
another target, do they get
zapped as well?
782
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:24,280
No, it's got video game physics.
OK, going to say yeah, I I
783
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,320
wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
784
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,240
Yeah, not rules is written, but
if you want to narrate it as
785
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:31,480
such.
Yeah, I do want to.
786
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640
Yeah, I do.
I do want to have a bit of
787
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120
consequence to your actions,
Zebulon, and I'm going to make
788
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Kasdea take What's the damage
dice for the spell that you just
789
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,720
cast?
3D8. 3D eight, I'm just going to
790
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:51,120
say 1D8, and from the transfer
it'll do 7 lightning damage to
791
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:59,200
Kasdea.
So caste and not on top of you
792
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,640
having a shield still in your
ankle, effectively.
793
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:10,600
Now you just got zapped, so you
let out another guttural scream.
794
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:16,920
Mimi 3.
All right, then we'll move to
795
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,600
Osisa.
OK.
796
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:28,400
All right, so I'm going to cast
a spell and would a 27 hit
797
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Neros?
Well, what are you casting?
798
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:40,400
I am casting guiding bolt.
Counterspell.
799
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,120
You do not have.
Anybody counter that
800
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,280
counterspell?
Neros, you do not have a
801
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,200
reaction.
I zapped you.
802
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,640
Oh, I lose it completely.
Not just for your retreat.
803
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,000
Yeah, you lose it till the start
of your next turn.
804
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,080
Oh yeah, OK, cool.
So I would assume then that that
805
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:09,560
hits. 27, Yeah, OK.
So that'll be a bolt of light of
806
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,400
radiant damage and that's going
to be 8 D 6.
807
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,800
So that'll be 27 points of
radiant damage.
808
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,560
And I've got two of those are
sixes.
809
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,920
So do you want me to re roll and
add that on?
810
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:33,360
Yep.
OK, 1-2 more rolls on that.
811
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:45,040
OK, so that'll be a total of 32
points of radiant damage and I'm
812
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,000
going to basically aim it right
for neurosis.
813
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:53,240
Face OK, so you'll let loose
this guiding bolt of radiant
814
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:56,800
damage, and Nero said to come
right down on you on the face
815
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,280
and just feel like a pretty
moderate sunburn.
816
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,240
Cast Daya.
You will take 14 points of
817
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:07,800
damage from the effect.
Why would why would she take?
818
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,680
Because he's touching her and
what I'm what I'm.
819
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,120
Basically, I think that doesn't
work that way, but it's your
820
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,280
call Lightning is different,
right?
821
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,720
That's.
Radiant damage.
822
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:21,000
That's true, basically.
Upon the Spirit.
823
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:24,240
Yeah, basically what I'm trying
to sow at this point is that
824
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,440
damage that's taken by Neros is
somewhat felt by Cazde as well.
825
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,160
So I'll tell you what, I'll have
that do 7 damage.
826
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:35,240
That's that's the point I'm
trying to get across here.
827
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:36,240
Got it.
OK.
828
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,320
Would that also apply then
healing as well?
829
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,080
Quick question.
Guess we'll find out.
830
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,240
Can we if we were actually?
Is that meta?
831
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,640
If I ask that question, I.
Don't even ask that question.
832
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,640
Whether or not you use the
answer makes it meta.
833
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,800
Yeah, right.
Was separating her from Nero's
834
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,680
be a good idea as Oh yeah
sounds?
835
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,440
Like a no brain, you can't know
that.
836
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,040
Yeah, that's unfortunately,
yeah.
837
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,360
That would be meta gaming, yeah.
OK, not bad.
838
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:07,000
Who should probably ask?
Oh yes, you think so?
839
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,200
Is what it sounds like.
Yeah, Yeah, it sounds.
840
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,280
It sounds like me.
We think that's a great idea.
841
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Right.
I will say though, with with the
842
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,720
guiding bolt, it you know, it
comes and hits Nero's directly
843
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:25,600
in the face and as the kind of
like poof of smoke or whatever
844
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,240
kind of fades, he's just
smiling.
845
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,680
It looks like it dealt some
damage, but not as much as you
846
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:35,880
would have expected.
We forgot he's a God, guys.
847
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,280
And how far?
He's like, what, 30 feet away,
848
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,520
you said?
If you did not move, he's 20.
849
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,120
What did I say?
25 feet Away, 20252025.
850
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,680
So then can I run up to him and
her?
851
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,520
Yeah, you still have your
movement.
852
00:57:54,880 --> 00:58:01,040
OK, so yeah, I'm going to run up
as close as I can get and
853
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,360
that'll probably be it for
unless he's got a reactionary.
854
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,120
He doesn't.
He doesn't have a reaction to
855
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,760
his turn, I was going to say.
Yeah, OK.
856
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,320
No, but I I'd like to use a
legendary reaction now.
857
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,880
OK, I'm sorry.
A legendary action.
858
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:23,200
I'll firm my grip on Kazaa's
shoulder and I will at the end
859
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:28,680
of Osis's turn using my Echo
Step, and I'll teleport directly
860
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,120
behind Glave 30 up to 30 feet to
an unoccupied space that I can
861
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:45,480
see, and I will cast.
You know what?
862
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,400
I won't cast anything.
I'll just teleport with Castea
863
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,680
and we both appear right there.
OK.
864
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,480
All right.
Then we will move to Glaive.
865
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,280
Glaive's turn, he's going to
turn around.
866
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:14,040
You killed my guardian.
I don't understand the
867
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,920
reasoning, but you can die for
it.
868
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,320
So then he will.
One action he's going to, he's
869
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:32,320
going to go full, full swing.
So he'll take two attacks.
870
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:45,440
The first one is a 2024, so that
hits.
871
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:53,320
OK.
Second one is a 14 doesn't hit
872
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,240
and then he'll use his bonus
action to use the pommel hit
873
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,880
because of pull arm master.
OK.
874
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,560
That's another 24, so that hits
also.
875
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,680
OK, so one regular, one bonus
action hit.
876
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,560
Now, were those attacks from a
magical weapon?
877
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,360
Oh, yes, OK.
Just making sure, OK.
878
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:30,280
Very, very magical.
He will however on SO do you
879
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,840
want me to finish the full round
or do damage and stuff as I go?
880
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,240
You can do it as you go.
I mean, you're not in any danger
881
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:50,280
of killing neuros.
So he's going to do OK, So what
882
01:00:50,280 --> 01:01:09,120
is my damage here?
1D10. 34 exploding oh man I need
883
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:19,270
a calculator that's going to be
oh wait I have to I'm going to
884
01:01:19,270 --> 01:01:30,240
spend 2 spell slots.
Also one of 4th level and one of
885
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:31,160
third level.
OK.
886
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,080
And I'm going to define smite
both of those.
887
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:41,160
OK.
That's the damage.
888
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:46,560
I might define smite now.
Radiant damage, I know that.
889
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,080
It is radiant divine smite.
Here we go.
890
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:57,600
I hit creature 2D8 plus an extra
D8 for each spell that is first
891
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,960
or higher than first.
So 2 second thirds, 48 for one,
892
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:14,500
5D-8 for the other.
OK, that's going to be halved.
893
01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:30,860
So on that he takes 71 damage.
OK, that's how much he takes.
894
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:37,540
And then action search.
OK, I'll make two more attacks.
895
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,720
One hits, one doesn't.
He'll divine smite that as well.
896
01:02:44,720 --> 01:03:03,680
At a Level 3
man damage, that's another 29
897
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,000
damage.
OK, that's all he's got.
898
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,560
So with all that damage, Neros
is starting to look a bit.
899
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:20,600
Warren will say damage wise, but
not not too much.
900
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,120
I mean, he did just take about
100 points of damage, but he's
901
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:30,400
still he's still standing.
So, OK, so anything else for
902
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,240
Glaive?
No.
903
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:37,400
OK, we will move to Kaz Daya but
she can't really do anything.
904
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,600
So I mean, you can take a
speaking action if you wish, but
905
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:53,680
that would be really about it.
She's going to do is scream and
906
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,080
thrash.
You got it.
907
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:56,880
Like she's trying to get free.
Sure.
908
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,840
As you begin to thrash, the
chains begin to start slicing up
909
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,800
your arms a bit and you begin to
bleed a bit more.
910
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,160
That's it.
OK, then we'll move back to
911
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:31,600
Neros.
All right, Neros is going to.
912
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:43,720
He's going to cast a spell.
OK, but you briefly stop the
913
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,560
flow of time for everyone but
yourself.
914
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:53,480
No time passes for other
creatures while you take three
915
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,480
turns in a row during which you
can use action and move as
916
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,840
normal.
It ends if one of the actions
917
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,720
you use during this period, or
any effect or any effects that
918
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,080
you create during this period
effects a creature other than
919
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,360
you or an object being worn or
carried by someone other than
920
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,120
you.
In addition, the spell ends if
921
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,280
you move to a place more than
1000 feet from the location you
922
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:21,420
cast it.
What's the name of the spell
923
01:05:21,420 --> 01:05:23,620
you're casting again?
I'm spell good.
924
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:24,700
Stuff.
That's what I thought.
925
01:05:24,700 --> 01:05:27,980
OK, you take three turns
probably.
926
01:05:27,980 --> 01:05:29,620
Back to full health.
In a row.
927
01:05:30,020 --> 01:05:33,660
Yeah, back to full health.
And he's probably going to,
928
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:37,060
like, casually step on somebody
and just, like, snap the neck,
929
01:05:38,260 --> 01:05:43,840
obviously, OK.
So you will cast that and you'll
930
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,640
take your next three turns.
It's three turns.
931
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,320
In addition to this current
turns, correct?
932
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,160
Yeah, three additional turns,
OK.
933
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,280
All right, so when you.
Attack that ends it.
934
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,920
If I do anything to even like
manipulate anything that isn't
935
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,200
me basically.
Not true.
936
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:06,800
So wait.
Does new.
937
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,440
Spells Level 9 spell slot.
What a jerk.
938
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,680
Oh yes.
What a.
939
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,520
What a jerk.
What a jerk.
940
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,240
So with his, with his speaking
action for the the first turn or
941
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:37,440
this turn, he'll just kind of go
into where, where, where was I?
942
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:42,640
And he's going to spend the rest
of this turn and then all but
943
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:47,320
one of the three.
So the next two turns, and he'll
944
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:53,040
just kind of call out, where was
I before I was rudely threatened
945
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,600
and interrupted.
So you asked what the favor
946
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:02,800
might be.
I can share that information.
947
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,200
Can we hear him?
Hello.
948
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,200
Yes.
You still hear him?
949
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,240
No.
OK, yes.
950
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,360
Now I will say at the end of the
second turn of you, how many
951
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,440
turns do you say you were using
to to do this?
952
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,080
The rest of this turn that I had
and then two additional turns
953
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,600
and then.
So I'll have one turn left.
954
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:35,200
OK, well combat will end after
the second full round of nobody
955
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:42,920
taking any sort of wounds.
I mean, technically right now
956
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,200
she's frozen.
Oh yeah, that's true.
957
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:48,480
So.
Somebody.
958
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:50,760
Somebody will take damage, don't
worry.
959
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:58,080
OK.
I want a man to tell the truth,
960
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,280
that's all.
Not a confession shaped for
961
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,520
mercy.
Not a story polished for
962
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,600
history.
The pure and honest truth spoken
963
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:16,800
where it cannot be walked back.
He must say what he did, who he
964
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:26,040
broke, and why he chose it.
He must finish speaking before
965
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:33,319
anything else happens to him.
I expect you're wondering who
966
01:08:33,319 --> 01:08:38,040
this person is.
You already know the type.
967
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,040
It's the kind of man other
people keep rewriting so that
968
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:53,000
they can live with themselves.
Call him a commander, a patron,
969
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,439
a Saint of convenient memory.
I want him heard as he is, not
970
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,240
as the Syndicate or the Dominion
or the Hollowed Host like him to
971
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,160
be.
You will not kill him before he
972
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,880
speaks.
You will not edit what he
973
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,960
speaks.
You will not spare him the
974
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:17,479
weight of being heard.
This is not punishment, this is
975
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,279
exposure.
If he lies, you press.
976
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:26,439
If he falters, you wait.
You do not rescue him from
977
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:32,120
himself when he is done, when he
has put his own story on the
978
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:37,040
table where anyone can see it,
Then you may do whatever your
979
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:51,939
conscience demands in return.
She leaves this tower alive only
980
01:09:51,939 --> 01:09:56,780
after this favor has been
fulfilled.
981
01:09:56,940 --> 01:10:01,380
I will release her from her
chains, from my mark.
982
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:06,000
She'll walk back to you under
her own power and you get to
983
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
call that a rescue if it helps
you sleep.
984
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,560
He looks Kaz damn and back at
you if you refuse.
985
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,040
If you twist this into another
story where someone else is to
986
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:22,000
blame for your inaction.
And as she says that near us,
987
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,240
kind of waves his hand just a
bit and the chains begin
988
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:33,480
tightening around Kaz.
Daya, then she remains exactly
989
01:10:33,480 --> 01:10:36,960
where she chose to stand, and
you will have to live with the
990
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:41,520
knowledge that you walked away
from her when the favor was
991
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,120
honest and the price was only
your comfort.
992
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:52,360
So if you want her returned, how
badly enough to make one man
993
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:57,280
tell the truth.
And then into his final, his
994
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:06,200
final turn, at the end of of his
turn, he'll take an additional
995
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:11,720
legendary action.
Let me get it here.
996
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,320
So nearest targets, one creature
he can see within 60 feet.
997
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:23,320
The target must succeed on ADC
Intelligence, an intelligence
998
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:29,400
saving throw.
So he's targeting Glaive
999
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,920
Spencer.
Does anybody else want to roll
1000
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:38,800
an intelligence safer glave?
His +2 intelligence is plus. 7 +
1001
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:44,000
7 intelligent save.
He rolled A7, so 14.
1002
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,400
Yeah, no, he failed.
So then he's going to get hit
1003
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:57,120
with a memory lash, which does.
Wouldn't his time stop be stop
1004
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:58,800
as soon as he did something to
Kezdea?
1005
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:07,320
Yep, sure would.
Still my turn then, correct.
1006
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,480
It's just the rest of the turns
I've already used.
1007
01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:14,000
So I would like if I used it
after like the first turn, then
1008
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,960
yeah, it would have resumed as
normal.
1009
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:33,390
So Blaves going to take 28
points of damage, psychic
1010
01:12:33,390 --> 01:12:43,120
damage, and then at the start of
his next turn, he'll hold up his
1011
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:51,040
hand to the group and to Glaive
and and just say just don't
1012
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:57,440
forget how easy this was for me.
But you you can die and Glaive
1013
01:12:57,440 --> 01:13:02,440
dies.
Oh my God, that can't be right.
1014
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,280
What the fuck no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1015
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:12,160
Spencer, let me move.
Let me do anything, Please,
1016
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:13,800
Lord.
Please, he's too young.
1017
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,600
Come.
On I, I got to revivify.
1018
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,760
Come on.
He'll finish, he'll finish his
1019
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:26,840
turn with a he'll he'll reach
into his larger pouch, pull out
1020
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,440
a smaller one, and he'll throw
it O sisa to your feet.
1021
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,080
And a handful of diamonds fall
out.
1022
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,800
And he says, I can do this all
day.
1023
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:43,000
My intention isn't to kill, but
if I'm driven to it, feel free
1024
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:52,240
to revive them.
Neros, these firms seem
1025
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:58,040
generous, amenable even.
Who is this person that you want
1026
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,120
us to convince to speak the
truth?
1027
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:12,320
I understand the concern, but I
I will try to impress on you the
1028
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:23,400
urgency of this happening.
While it may seem like not
1029
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:30,320
enough, in exchange for her life
and her return, I promise you it
1030
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:36,400
is.
The objective is to force
1031
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:42,800
Magistrate Elvis Corin to give
his complete, voluntary and
1032
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:49,680
public testimony of his crimes.
The testimony must meet all
1033
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:54,080
conditions below.
If any condition fails, this
1034
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:59,040
favor fails.
Corin must openly admit to his
1035
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,480
actions.
Not implications, no
1036
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:05,880
justifications, clear statements
of what he ordered and allowed.
1037
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,080
I think I'll pause.
I'm going to pause here to see
1038
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,960
if anyone wants to take actions
or if or if combat ends.
1039
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:17,880
Yeah.
So that'll be into your turn,
1040
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:24,680
then we'll move to Mimi.
That's really interesting.
1041
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:41,240
So actually don't know what Mimi
would do in this situation.
1042
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,040
You were already basically
groveling, so I.
1043
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,760
Think.
Saying yes, I mean, basically is
1044
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:56,160
what I mean, basically, yeah.
Mimi is going to, instead of
1045
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,680
standing straight up, she stands
on all fours and she's going to
1046
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,840
whip around a Zebulon and
Taylor's going to start lashing
1047
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:08,040
and she's going to go.
We e-mail a message, the General
1048
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:13,280
right the fuck now or I eat you.
I'm not kidding.
1049
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,360
No more fun time, no more jokes.
This guy needs to tell the
1050
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,280
truth.
Magistrate Elvis.
1051
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:25,920
Corin needs to speak his truth
so we can get our friend back.
1052
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,120
Well, you don't need to threaten
me.
1053
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,760
I'm not threatening you, trust.
If I wanted to eat you, I would
1054
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:45,280
have done so by now, however.
I employee I can't really you
1055
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,520
see how well it worked out for
your friend Glaive.
1056
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,000
I can't really write anything
right now, Zebulon, so I'm going
1057
01:16:52,000 --> 01:17:02,840
to need you or Sisa to do it.
We'll get the details in a pad
1058
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:10,200
over the where Glaive's body is,
and it's going to lay down next
1059
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,600
to him.
And like, you know how if a cat
1060
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,440
lays down on their side and it's
like the paws out in the front?
1061
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,400
Yeah, Their tail lashing.
That's what Mimi looks like
1062
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:19,920
right now.
OK.
1063
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:27,760
We'll move to Zambian.
Yeah, I guess at this point I'm
1064
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,600
feeling like we're out of
combat.
1065
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:35,280
I'm ready to make a deal.
It sounds like he doesn't want
1066
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:40,520
anything too nefarious.
As far as I can tell, telling
1067
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:48,120
the truth aligns with my morals.
Does anybody else here can want
1068
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:53,200
to continue the fight?
Or do we want to talk about
1069
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:59,120
this?
I'm going to say that unless
1070
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,480
anybody has any objections, you
guys will drop out of combat.
1071
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:08,800
O Sisa would like to send him to
the gods for judgement, but she
1072
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,600
is holding back for the time
being.
1073
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,560
OK.
I I don't know if I wait.
1074
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:20,400
Pause.
As one final action then near us
1075
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:27,760
is going to cast Mass Heal on
everybody but glave OK.
1076
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,480
OK.
You really don't like yourself
1077
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,520
on that?
You really don't like yourself?
1078
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:36,400
Do.
You.
1079
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,040
Yeah.
So the audio people listening
1080
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,480
just just remember Jesse killed
Jesse so it's fine.
1081
01:18:46,440 --> 01:18:48,120
Wait, did anybody else take
damage even?
1082
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:53,160
Oh yeah, you first of all.
Oh yeah, and I I cast it on
1083
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:59,400
Kasbeh also, yeah.
All right then.
1084
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:00,680
Yep, you guys are.
You ready?
1085
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,480
Are you ready for the?
Magistrate.
1086
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,520
Yeah.
I'm curious, Don.
1087
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,840
I'm sure you won't tell us up
front, but I would love to know
1088
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,760
how this benefits you.
What is this magistrate done
1089
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:23,600
that concerns Nero's the God?
Well, let's discuss scope.
1090
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:33,640
The testimony needs to include
admission to forced relocations
1091
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,640
carried out under false
emergency orders.
1092
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,720
His testimony must include the
names that were removed from the
1093
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:51,400
Dominion records, the sentences
carried out without a trial, the
1094
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:56,080
reason he believed that it was
acceptable to function in this
1095
01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:01,240
way.
The testimony itself must be
1096
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:09,440
heard by the victims or their
representatives, members of the
1097
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:16,760
Unwritten acting as witness
scribes of ash, at least one
1098
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:22,080
neutral third party.
This testimony must be recorded
1099
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,440
in a form meant to last only
long enough to be used.
1100
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:30,000
It is not scripture, it is
scaffolding.
1101
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:36,040
And you must not kill him before
the testimony is complete.
1102
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,120
However, once you have
accomplished all of this, as
1103
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:46,360
I've said previously, let your
conscience dictate what to do
1104
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:55,040
with him next.
I will be waiting at the Ash
1105
01:20:55,040 --> 01:21:04,880
Archive, but I will say don't
wait too long.
1106
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,960
I have eyes, ears, and thoughts
all around.
1107
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:19,440
And we, The Unwritten will
continue to monitor your
1108
01:21:19,440 --> 01:21:25,920
progress.
And you swear all you seek is
1109
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,280
the truth.
All I seek is the truth.
1110
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:35,440
This has always been my mission,
to bring to light the people,
1111
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:38,400
the representatives that have
used memory for currency, for
1112
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:48,080
pain, for power, those that have
edited the archives to fit their
1113
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:57,320
directives.
Memory is not our memory exists
1114
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:02,920
to be freely experienced and
freely forgotten as it is not
1115
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:08,160
modified.
And he is a clear example of how
1116
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,800
the syndicate to how the
Dominion, how the hallowed host
1117
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:19,280
only works to their own benefit
with no care for others.
1118
01:22:22,440 --> 01:22:27,360
This will help me stop that.
All right, I have no objection
1119
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,480
to these terms.
Does the rest of the group have
1120
01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:36,040
any concerns?
No concerns.
1121
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,200
When you're ready.
To.
1122
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,520
When you're ready to communicate
your progress, your success or
1123
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,120
failure, find one of the
unwritten.
1124
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,240
They can point you to the Ash
archive.
1125
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,840
I'll be waiting.
He.
1126
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,200
Snaps his fingers and he's gone
with Kasdea.
1127
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,720
With Kasdea.
With Kasdea, why can't we keep
1128
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:03,560
her?
I don't know.
1129
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:18,760
All right, looks like we got
some torturing to do, crew.
1130
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,880
As you guys are gathering your
things.
1131
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,520
That's a good idea.
As you all are gathering your
1132
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:31,280
things, you turn to kind of
leave the the watchtower and in
1133
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,600
the doorway out between just
just right where the door kind
1134
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:40,120
of starts the what's it called
the entryway.
1135
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,080
The threshold, yeah.
Threshold.
1136
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:47,320
But where the threshold is, you
see Kasdea laying on the
1137
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:51,920
threshold, half in the snow,
surrounded in kind of a bloody
1138
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,960
pool, and in all of your mind
simultaneously.
1139
01:23:54,960 --> 01:24:00,080
You hear I can take her back at
any moment.
1140
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:10,520
Don't disappoint me.
God damn.
1141
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:16,640
So she's badly injured very
slightly.
1142
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,880
Rushing forward.
Yeah, I mean, she's the.
1143
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:24,040
Mask The mask heel that was that
was cast on her is took effect
1144
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:28,800
and as she returns now she is
far worse than when she left.
1145
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:42,600
OK crap so Glaive is dead and
and I I I'm going straight for
1146
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,080
Cazadea.
She's still alive.
1147
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,160
I'm going to go for her first
and then Glave next have.
1148
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:50,920
Been less than a minute or
whatever.
1149
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:51,840
Well.
Unless.
1150
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,800
Yeah, can I bring Glave back?
Glave is dead, yeah.
1151
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,440
Glave.
Well, I mean, remember if it's
1152
01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:00,680
been within a minute.
Right, it's it has been more
1153
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:02,440
than a minute, unfortunately.
OK, so.
1154
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,120
Glave is just.
Well, there, there still is a
1155
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:06,760
there still is a pouch of
diamonds.
1156
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,400
Yeah, but I can only revivify.
Has to be done within one
1157
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,520
minute.
Right, but there's clerics all
1158
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,600
over the world that can cast
things like True Resurrection,
1159
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:23,280
it just requires a diamond.
Jesus Christ, how are we going
1160
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,320
to carry his big ass body across
the world?
1161
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:29,000
The logistics, The logistics are
not letting up.
1162
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:34,120
In that case, I'm going straight
to Cassadea.
1163
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,160
And Cassadea, your wounds.
OK?
1164
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,640
Yeah, Mimi's going to prop
Cassadea up, so I'll see if I
1165
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,880
can treat her better.
As you propose, as you prop
1166
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:50,920
Cassadea up, she screams at the
top of her lungs.
1167
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,640
How?
Badly hurt is.
1168
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:59,720
She, she, she's very, very hurt.
Broken bones, multiple broken
1169
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:05,920
bones, blood, just kind of just
she's drenched in blood.
1170
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,240
And also I need everybody that
is currently surrounding Kasdea
1171
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:18,840
to give me a history check.
Oh, before or after the history?
1172
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,560
It honestly won't matter, OK?
Cool.
1173
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:27,280
I've.
History, History.
1174
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,480
That guiding bolt fucked me up.
Yeah, did.
1175
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,800
Holy shit.
Dirty 20.
1176
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,320
Oh.
Sisa was mad is a dirty 20.
1177
01:26:36,440 --> 01:26:40,320
I got a 1717 Yeah O sisa.
Did I hear Zebulon say 5?
1178
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,760
Yes.
He did OK everybody except
1179
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:51,080
Zebulon.
We will say that O Sisa and Mimi
1180
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:55,680
are cover or their surrounding
caste to the point where Sebelon
1181
01:26:55,680 --> 01:27:00,040
you can't make anything out from
where you were because you, I
1182
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,800
mean, unless you took a few
steps after after combat, you're
1183
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,920
still kind of about 1520 feet
away from the door.
1184
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,200
So we'll say that they're
surrounding caste to the point
1185
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,480
where you can't really see
anything but Osisa and Mimi.
1186
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:21,240
You noticed that Castea looks
different than how you remember.
1187
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:33,960
And we're talking, we are
talking from what she's wearing.
1188
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:38,880
She what from what she's wearing
to she's a bit, her skin's a bit
1189
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:44,560
darker than you remember.
She doesn't have the same gold
1190
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,720
regalness that she wants.
Help.
1191
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:58,840
She now appears more in a black
dress of sorts, almost fish,
1192
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:05,240
almost like fishnet stockings,
almost up past her thighs, and
1193
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:12,280
her hair is now braided and more
Gray than the white that it used
1194
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:12,760
to be.
I.
1195
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,840
Want to make sure this is her?
Yeah. 1.
1196
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,720
Second, can I sniff her?
Perception or investigation?
1197
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,520
You can give me investigation, I
guess, Mimi, you can roll for
1198
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:30,920
sniff or insight.
Maybe.
1199
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:33,080
Yeah, that's, that's a better
one.
1200
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:38,440
Give me an insight, Mimi.
As far as your role is
1201
01:28:38,440 --> 01:28:43,160
concerned, you would have.
Advanced.
1202
01:28:43,480 --> 01:28:46,280
For sure with advantage.
Yeah, yeah, Perception with
1203
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,760
advantage based on how you are
currently.
1204
01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:58,000
OK. 19 OK on then we'd say it.
Oh, dirty 20.
1205
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,000
OK, so is.
It dirty 20.
1206
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:06,720
With OCS 19 and Mimi's Dirty 20,
you both based on OCSA using
1207
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,000
your eyes and brain and Mimi
using your nose.
1208
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,960
This is this, This is this is
Kasdea OK?
1209
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:23,840
I'm going to mask Cure Wounds
or, or wait, sorry, Cure wounds
1210
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,760
on her.
Sure.
1211
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,320
And this is going to be at sixth
level.
1212
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:35,640
OK, so we'll say that currently
Kasdea is on one HP.
1213
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,040
How?
How much healing do you get
1214
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:49,040
casting at six level?
Sorry, that would be 70 points
1215
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,400
of healing.
We'll say that you do Max
1216
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,640
healing for that because you are
out of combat.
1217
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:02,120
Oh hey quick question, sure this
is weird but this guest have
1218
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,240
like strangles of hair like over
her face.
1219
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:07,120
This is something that my cat
does.
1220
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:14,400
Yeah, Castaia's hair is a mess,
almost saturated in blood.
1221
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:19,680
Mimi's going to slick back her
hair with her tongue out of her
1222
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,640
face.
My cat does this to me, so
1223
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:30,560
Mimi's doing it to Cassadia.
OK, yeah, I mean, you can prop
1224
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:36,360
her hair up with your tongue.
OK, let's just say she smoothes
1225
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,000
it back with her hand.
How about that?
1226
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:39,280
That's better.
That works.
1227
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:43,280
Better, all right.
And then Cassadia.
1228
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:47,040
Congestion again.
I mean, it's still active, I
1229
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,720
would think so, yeah.
I guess it's 8 hours.
1230
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:54,600
So.
I hope you're feeling better.
1231
01:30:54,600 --> 01:31:00,080
Can you help us understand
what's going on here more or?
1232
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,400
Less like.
Reaffirming the same spell.
1233
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,480
What happened?
He hurt me.
1234
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,800
I went for for Orion and he hurt
me.
1235
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:27,480
What did he do?
You saw, Were you not watching?
1236
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,880
You.
You didn't think I was real.
1237
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:38,240
You, you didn't think it was me?
I didn't think Nero's was
1238
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:41,600
telling us the truth.
We were there to help you the
1239
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,720
whole time though.
Truth is about perspective.
1240
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:51,480
Never seen Orion though, he
wasn't here so I don't
1241
01:31:51,480 --> 01:31:59,240
understand what happened.
Is the way to see Orion.
1242
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:08,360
No, no, no.
Is he OK?
1243
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:16,280
Yes.
She kind of breathes a sigh of
1244
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,760
relief.
Like, OK, all right, at least
1245
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,520
Orion's OK, and now you're
better.
1246
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,640
We need to see if we can find
someone to bring back Glave,
1247
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:33,720
yes.
Yes, I'm, I'm OK, I'm, I'm OK.
1248
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:37,120
She's going to kind of stand up
on wobbly legs.
1249
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,880
Amy's got a sister and I'll wrap
her up in a gentle hug and just
1250
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:43,320
go.
I missed you.
1251
01:32:45,480 --> 01:32:49,760
I missed you too.
All right, so.
1252
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,040
It's a great time.
Yes, it is.
1253
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:54,480
That's a very good idea.
Let's take a quick.
1254
01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:56,000
Break.
OK, I haven't pee so bad.
1255
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,720
Let's take a quick pee break and
we will come back.
1256
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,880
We'll be right back with more if
grit happens.
1257
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:08,440
Ever Con 2026 is almost here and

Welcome back to Crit Habits here
1289
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,000
on Spotify, iTunes,
player.fmpoddirectory.com,
1290
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,120

tuneinradioiheartradio.com,
1291
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:20,280
SiriusXM Radio, and pandora.com.
We are back to kind of deal with
1292
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,400
the aftermath of the
confrontation with Neros.
1293
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:29,040
So we last left our party having
healed Kasdea.
1294
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:32,520
She's still pretty out of it
still.
1295
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:38,080
You know, she may be good on HP,
but she's still got effects from
1296
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,520
the damage that she's been
inflicted.
1297
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:47,640
So you are aware kind of
generally what you need to do.
1298
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:48,920
So what would you like to do
from there?
1299
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,640
At this point, I think kind of
Assisa would kind of get up the
1300
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,880
group and be like, I think we
need to get back to syndicate
1301
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:03,920
headquarters and we should
probably discuss the unwritten,
1302
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:07,200
whoever they are, with the
leadership.
1303
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,560
I mean, we're going to need to
find the magistrate and we don't
1304
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:17,840
want Nero's taking Kasdia back.
Before we return to base, I
1305
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:21,960
think we should talk about, do
we discuss with the syndicate
1306
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:28,920
whether or not we've been given
this mission, you mentioned the
1307
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,040
magistrate, or do we keep that
between the?
1308
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:37,240
Groups, we keep that ourselves.
They don't need to know.
1309
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,440
I don't even know if that street
is part of the syndicate.
1310
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:48,440
Nero's never said anything about
keeping the secret, just that he
1311
01:36:48,440 --> 01:36:55,320
wanted us to do it.
I know, but if we tell them this
1312
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,440
information and state they're
with the magistrate, they're
1313
01:36:59,440 --> 01:37:03,960
going to try to silence us.
Yeah, exactly.
1314
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,160
Being open about it might make
our job harder.
1315
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,880
True.
Yeah.
1316
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,040
I think we should keep it quiet
for.
1317
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:21,640
The moment.
OK, but at least at least we
1318
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:26,400
need to get information about
who the magistrate is, where he
1319
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:30,520
is, and we should talk about the
unwritten with them if nothing
1320
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,520
else.
Absolutely, yes, I agree with
1321
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:38,040
that.
Castea, do you think you're out
1322
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,400
for traveling?
Written took pasadayo.
1323
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:46,800
I suppose so.
Why?
1324
01:37:47,480 --> 01:37:50,360
Why wouldn't I be?
Let's go.
1325
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:55,520
Let's get this over with.
All right.
1326
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,240
Hop on my.
Back, let's roll.
1327
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,400
What about glave?
All right, we're hitting the
1328
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,480
road, Jack.
Oh fuck.
1329
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,360
I'm going to stuff Glaive's body
into my bag of holding.
1330
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,280
Well, Jesus.
And then hop on Mimi's back.
1331
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,200
Piggyback.
The disrespect.
1332
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:19,240
Yeah, let's go.
He's.
1333
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,960
Like get in the bag, get in the
bag.
1334
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,920
He's a sweetie, a little 3 year
old back kind of man and.
1335
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,160
Needs.
A 43.
1336
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:37,760
Year old kind of man, Jesus.
Before Zebulon puts Glaive in
1337
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,560
his bag of holding, caste is
going to kind of like walk over
1338
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,440
and close his eyes, kind of kiss
his forehead and then go
1339
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:52,240
continue.
Oh.
1340
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,720
So yeah.
I think finding a cleric for
1341
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,560
Glaive is the first order
sexually.
1342
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,440
Let's wake our friend up.
Yeah, let's find a cleric.
1343
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,440
Of my powers.
To the church.
1344
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:13,680
OK, so you're returning to
Syndicate headquarters?
1345
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,320
Or OC says.
Church we're returning back to
1346
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,440
like.
A true resurrection.
1347
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:28,240
Maybe we try to find a temple of
Shante and see if we can find a
1348
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,320
cleric who might be able to do
this.
1349
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,840
Bring him back.
We should grab the diamonds
1350
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,080
while we're at it for.
Sure.
1351
01:39:36,440 --> 01:39:39,920
But maybe inspect them too.
Sure, he didn't sneak anything
1352
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,400
in there.
Sure, you can.
1353
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:48,200
Go ahead and give me an
inspection check, investigation
1354
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:54,800
check 20. 6.
There are three diamonds in this
1355
01:39:54,800 --> 01:40:01,280
pouch, each worth the.
Basically you would know as a as
1356
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,680
a clerk that.
Each of these diamonds would
1357
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:09,800
satisfy the quote UN quote cost
for a a true resurrection.
1358
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:16,120
OK, she's going to share that
with the party.
1359
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,400
You know, like, hey, this looks
legit.
1360
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,720
We should probably get going.
Let's get glave up and running
1361
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,200
first and then head to court
headquarters.
1362
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:30,120
Whoa.
Agreed.
1363
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:31,600
Did.
We lose.
1364
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,400
All right, let's do it.
Michaela dropped out.
1365
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:37,560
Nope.
Yeah, sorry.
1366
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,800
All right, so you are going.
To first on the road again.
1367
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:47,800
OK, so you're going to be
seeking out a temple or shrine
1368
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,240
of Santaya, correct?
Yep.
1369
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,680
OK.
I assume Mosisa would know of 1.
1370
01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:00,480
Yes, I mean, yeah.
Actually, would you know the
1371
01:41:00,480 --> 01:41:04,120
rune pattern for one?
I could teleport us there if so.
1372
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,760
How would I mean?
I think that's.
1373
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:18,000
If they have a teleportation
circle, it would have like a
1374
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,440
pattern of runes to memorize in
order to use it it.
1375
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:27,520
Makes sense to have one Spencer.
How do you want me to do this?
1376
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,800
You want me to do a check on
this?
1377
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,320
Or would this be just natural
knowledge you think?
1378
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:41,960
Give me a history check on it.
Yeah. 18 You've heard that there
1379
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:49,680
are in total, you know there to
be 5 different temples to your,
1380
01:41:50,920 --> 01:42:03,960
we'll call it religion, one each
located within the each region.
1381
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:11,520
And I'm sorry, there are 6
temples, one in each region.
1382
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:15,800
Now the temple that you know,
based on the location that you
1383
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:22,520
are currently, because you're
located within the Shatter Peak,
1384
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:31,120
it would be located within the
southwestern side about about
1385
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,160
3/4 of the way there.
So underneath, if you're looking
1386
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:38,760
at the world map underneath the
TS currently you're in the
1387
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:49,290
northeast corner.
So at least the the reason that
1388
01:42:49,290 --> 01:42:52,770
you're in that would be where
the temple is located.
1389
01:42:52,770 --> 01:42:57,730
Now the temple, located within
the action belt, is in the
1390
01:42:57,730 --> 01:43:01,440
northwest corner.
I think the closest one would
1391
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,680
probably be the easiest, but I
don't know what the the spell
1392
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,520
would look like for Zebulon.
So you.
1393
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:09,600
Yeah.
Do you recall?
1394
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:11,720
Do you?
Recall the runes for the
1395
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,680
teleportation circle of any of
them.
1396
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:17,000
Yeah, so I apologize, I didn't
finish the the check.
1397
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,680
So with the check, you know that
there are 6 temples of your
1398
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:29,560
religion, however you don't know
which ones, if any, have any
1399
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:34,760
teleportation circles or glyphs
or wounds that would facilitate
1400
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:37,440
that.
So basically you would be kind
1401
01:43:37,440 --> 01:43:41,280
of going in blind.
Do you want to risk it or should
1402
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,600
we try to head back to
headquarters and see if someone
1403
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,840
at headquarters can do this?
Yeah, I think we travel on foot,
1404
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,840
we can teleport.
Back You're going to ask who
1405
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:57,800
killed them?
They're going to ask questions.
1406
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,000
We should take them to it.
We should take Clave to a temple
1407
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:06,640
if you want to remain.
I mean under the radar have.
1408
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:10,200
A deep discussion.
About it Nero's killed glave.
1409
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:22,240
Oh, OK, sure.
OK, so I'm understanding that
1410
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,160
you'll return to the Whisper
Fang.
1411
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,560
I'm game for that if you guys
are going from Whisper Fang to
1412
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:34,880
then the headquarters.
Yep.
1413
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,680
So the headquarters is located
within the action Belt, so it'll
1414
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,280
be about a day's travel from the
Whisper Fang, which is again, is
1415
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,080
everyone's bar Tavern, I should
say.
1416
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:50,000
And let's be honest, y'all need
a little bit of rest afterwards.
1417
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,640
I'm after all this.
So yeah.
1418
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,200
So, yeah.
So I mean, you can absolutely
1419
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,440
use teleportation to get back to
the the Whisper Fang.
1420
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,520
You can deduct the gold Zebulon
from there.
1421
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:04,680
Yep.
Let's do that.
1422
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:06,840
If anybody wants to pitch in,
let me know.
1423
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:14,720
Teleportation's not free 50
gold, but I confront it for this
1424
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:18,080
one and I think it's worth it to
get back home I want.
1425
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,000
To sleep with.
My pitch and then just pay for
1426
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:27,120
it this time.
OK, actually, we just got three
1427
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:28,920
diamonds, right?
How much are each of those
1428
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,040
worth?
Wait, we might need them in the
1429
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:32,520
future.
We're.
1430
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,080
Gonna Well we need at.
Least one of them.
1431
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,640
Yeah, what about the other two?
What if this happens again?
1432
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,720
Gem infused inks are what you
need as the cost for the
1433
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:51,200
teleportation circle, so I might
be able to make an abundance of
1434
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,880
it with one of these gems if
it's worth thousands.
1435
01:45:54,880 --> 01:46:00,760
We just travel on foot.
If you travel 1 foot it would be
1436
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:04,600
I got 1/2 days travel.
I wonder if I did one walk.
1437
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,200
Like 2 hours.
Yeah, I would.
1438
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,760
I would charge you one train.
500 feet right?
1439
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,560
Yes.
I like that idea.
1440
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,360
OK, so yeah, if you're going to
go that route, I would charge
1441
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,200
you one travel encounter as
opposed to two.
1442
01:46:36,480 --> 01:46:39,360
So you're going to, you guys are
going to go on foot back to the
1443
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,560
Whisper Fang.
I think so.
1444
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:44,480
OK, My vote would be to do that
travel encounter as we're
1445
01:46:44,480 --> 01:46:49,120
preparing to leave because the
the spell makes us like a a
1446
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,640
vapor that moves 300 feet a
turn.
1447
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,040
Yeah.
So the encounter is we run away
1448
01:46:55,040 --> 01:47:00,440
at 300 feet.
So what I will say is that you
1449
01:47:00,440 --> 01:47:06,840
begin to travel without Windwalk
and then after the travel
1450
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,200
encounter, you will use Windwalk
to go the rest of the way.
1451
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,720
So let's have whoever wants to
roll me AD 100.
1452
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:20,400
My last one was too good, so
someone else has to do this.
1453
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,600
Asadeo as you're welcome back
all the die.
1454
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,320
Yeah.
Yeah.
1455
01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:45,960
Yeah, OK.
That's. 83 83 Where is 83?
1456
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:49,480
It's after 80.
So good job.
1457
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:56,600
People tanks.
As you're traveling just a bit a
1458
01:47:56,600 --> 01:48:05,600
ways from the Watchtower, you
encounter a traveling tinkerer,
1459
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:09,400
if you will, asking you to share
a meal with them.
1460
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,320
Oh, of course.
I'm going to bust out a whole
1461
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:20,080
bunch of stuff from my bag of
holding like a barrel of ale and
1462
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:24,120
like a bunch of tankards for
everybody, set up a table, all
1463
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,560
that.
Absolutely.
1464
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,120
We'll share a meal with a
tinkerer.
1465
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:31,480
That sounds amazing.
OK, poison check.
1466
01:48:31,480 --> 01:48:36,480
If you say poison, check.
Yeah, I don't.
1467
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,000
Sure.
Eating food with strangers?
1468
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:42,480
Sure.
Give me a we'll call it
1469
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:44,880
perception check.
Medicine check.
1470
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:47,000
No, medicine check.
Yeah, medicine check would be
1471
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:48,680
better.
Medicine check.
1472
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,240
Got it, Got it.
Can I do one of those as well?
1473
01:48:51,880 --> 01:49:00,400
Sure, go ahead.
Oh, doesn't that one it looks.
1474
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,920
Incredible to you and you
immediately start eating the
1475
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:05,520
food.
Oh.
1476
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,120
So she's going to eat
immediately.
1477
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,440
Yep, with a net one she's going
to start eating immediately.
1478
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:20,040
I rolled a 17 so the so it'd be
a 24.
1479
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:23,520
It's not poisonous, the food is
exactly what it looks like.
1480
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,920
Again.
Hey Spencer, you can never be
1481
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:30,560
too careful.
All right.
1482
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:35,120
Hey, no, I I appreciate it.
I loved the natural one I.
1483
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,160
Mean you trusted.
Miros sure look healthy.
1484
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:41,960
What was that?
Does a tinkerer look healthy?
1485
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:45,280
Does he look injured at all?
Yeah, no, he looks completely
1486
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:50,240
normal.
And do you eat the food?
1487
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:52,600
Food's good.
Amazing.
1488
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,720
It's.
What a could we ask him to fix
1489
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,520
our friend?
I know it's just weird, but he's
1490
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:02,400
a tinkerer A.
Completely normal tinkerer?
1491
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:08,440
I don't think so.
OK, yeah, so never mind.
1492
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:16,080
You guys can go ahead and take a
the equivalent of, we'll say, 2
1493
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:19,400
short rests if you need it.
I know that a lot of you were
1494
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,480
healed at by neuros, but you
guys can take the 2 short rests
1495
01:50:22,480 --> 01:50:25,840
if you wish for the effects of
effectively sitting down, taking
1496
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:27,040
a quick rest, and eating some
food.
1497
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,760
And then from there, I'll see.
So we'll cast one walk and you
1498
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:40,520
will arrive at the Whisper Fang
pretty soon after that.
1499
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,480
Can I ask the tinkerer to make
me a contraption before he
1500
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:50,400
leaves Something to show off at
the bar?
1501
01:50:52,200 --> 01:51:00,760
Yeah, he will make you a A
hankered that has little arms
1502
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:06,360
and legs and can go around your
bar and kind of entertain people
1503
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:09,080
like hello my baby, hello my
honey, hello, my right angle.
1504
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:14,760
That is like, no joke, exactly
what I had in mind.
1505
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:18,240
Yep, so you will.
I'll I'll get you a small boost
1506
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:20,920
here to the Whisper Fang for
that thing.
1507
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:26,160
Hello my honey, hello my baby.
OK now, so from there, yeah,
1508
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:28,800
you'll arrive with the wind,
walk back at the Whisper Fang.
1509
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,760
Home sweet, Home Rounder drinks
for everybody.
1510
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,000
Hey, everybody in the bar heard
that as well.
1511
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,120
And they go, hey.
Everybody.
1512
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:48,800
We don't have money.
He owned the bar.
1513
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:51,680
He made quite a lot of money
from the last time he he got his
1514
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,880
income from the bar so.
I was going to say it, wasn't
1515
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,360
there a festival or something
like that?
1516
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,400
Yeah, we.
Had a beer festival but it went
1517
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,040
great.
Yeah, it went great, totally
1518
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:02,000
fine and nothing wrong one
happened.
1519
01:52:02,440 --> 01:52:13,600
So from there you will.
We'll just go very quickly.
1520
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,440
You guys will take a long rest
from there for the night.
1521
01:52:17,440 --> 01:52:19,760
Wake up the next morning.
I assume we will be up making
1522
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,080
breakfast like normal.
Oh yeah.
1523
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:28,520
Yep.
And then so I need to understand
1524
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:30,840
what you guys determined.
So what exactly have you
1525
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,600
determined of what you're going
to do at Syndicate headquarters?
1526
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:40,760
Bring back clay if we can.
Yes, and proceed to lie to them,
1527
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:46,000
but Nero's not telling them.
Not lie, exactly, just.
1528
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,280
Withhold information.
Yeah.
1529
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,040
OK, so you'll withhold
information on the.
1530
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,320
The deal that we made
specifically to force the
1531
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,480
magistrate to speak the truth.
OK, we're still going to ask.
1532
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:03,120
About the weird stuff that
Nero's was talking about though.
1533
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,400
OK, you 2 agreed.
I didn't.
1534
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:12,360
Yeah, I guess that's true.
OK if.
1535
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:14,760
I don't know, I just don't trust
him.
1536
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:20,280
If they go into the syndicate
because there's going to stay
1537
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,880
outside, she does not want to go
in.
1538
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:26,600
She's a vampire.
Yeah, that's what it is.
1539
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:30,600
Yep, you're right.
No, she just does not want to go
1540
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:34,400
in.
She wishes to stay outside in
1541
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:38,160
free air.
Free air.
1542
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:43,120
Is Kasdia staying in that outfit
or is she going to like switch
1543
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:48,080
into or Kasdia?
Staying in this outfit, OK.
1544
01:53:50,440 --> 01:53:55,720
So what will happen is, I assume
that you would all set up for
1545
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:57,560
sitting at headquarters in the
Ashton Belt, correct?
1546
01:53:59,960 --> 01:54:04,840
Yes.
OK, so forsake of time, I am not
1547
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:06,200
going to charge you a travel
encounter.
1548
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:10,000
It's pretty close to where you
are currently, about 1/2 day's
1549
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:14,200
journey, similar to basically
you're crossing the border and
1550
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:18,680
half a day's travel into the
Ashton Belt and you will arrive
1551
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,640
at Syndicate headquarters from
there.
1552
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,840
Kasdea will again, she'll stay
outside.
1553
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,520
She doesn't like the idea of
stepping foot inside syndicate
1554
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:34,480
headquarters with the feeling
that she has about them
1555
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:38,760
currently.
So I mean, she'll, she'll go off
1556
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:47,200
and maybe do some research or
some form of thing to assist you
1557
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:55,600
with information on the
magistrate.
1558
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:59,360
Written or the magistrate?
Correct.
1559
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:06,920
Now for all of you going inside
of headquarters, I assume that
1560
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:08,680
you're seeking out leadership
right away, correct?
1561
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,720
I would be affirmative.
To heal Glaive, to bring him
1562
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:16,880
back, yeah.
OK.
1563
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,800
We're getting Glaive back first.
That's our top priority.
1564
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:23,320
Who is carrying Glaive?
Me he's.
1565
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:24,720
In.
OK.
1566
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:28,200
He's in the bag, Sebulon.
Yeah, I guess I'm out of the
1567
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:28,480
bag.
I'm.
1568
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:31,520
On Mimi's back and Mimi's
carrying me and he's in.
1569
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:32,840
My bag.
Yeah.
1570
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:39,120
OK, cool, I love it.
Now what will occur?
1571
01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:45,520
So you will appear, you'll go to
the, let's call it the cleric's
1572
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:52,760
temple within the syndicate
headquarters, and they will
1573
01:55:52,760 --> 01:55:54,280
greet you.
Hello, travelers.
1574
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:55,920
What?
What can we assist you with?
1575
01:55:55,920 --> 01:56:00,400
A.
Friend was felled in battle, can
1576
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:03,480
you bring him back?
Just pour the diamonds out on
1577
01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:05,680
the table.
We can certainly try.
1578
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:11,880
Now where is your friend?
One moment I'm just.
1579
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:15,120
Going to like dive into the bag
and then like pull him back.
1580
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:21,520
Out, wait, wait, I hope your
legs as you like, head first in
1581
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,360
the bag and grab on the arms and
I pull you both back out.
1582
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:33,320
Exactly.
Can you help us?
1583
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:40,960
First of all, I need a strength
check from Zebul.
1584
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:47,200
Oh, that's not good.
I'm assisting I.
1585
01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:51,680
Was all I got a 15 -, 1 is 14
but.
1586
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:54,440
Hey, that's not as good as.
I could ask for him.
1587
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,160
It's.
Better than a 216?
1588
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,120
It takes you Mimi, you hear kind
of from inside the bag.
1589
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:07,440
You hear the voices that be long
ago Mimi pull and you both kind
1590
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,400
of lift him out.
So yeah, ultimately you bring
1591
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:18,280
glave into the out of the bag.
The weight of him drags on both
1592
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:21,160
of your arms.
Metal scored organic tissue cold
1593
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:25,440
and wrong against steel.
The quiet hum he once carried is
1594
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,280
gone.
No breath, no spark, just the
1595
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:30,840
shape of somebody who used to to
move.
1596
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:40,640
You went to back our child.
The room kind of goes still when
1597
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:46,080
when they see Glave and one of
the healers steps forward, but
1598
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:52,040
he they he stops short, another
kind of just turns away.
1599
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:59,000
Then hi syndic Syndic Relvain
arrives moments later, eyes
1600
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:03,320
sharp, already know that this is
not going to end well.
1601
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:09,520
You lay down on the table and
somebody whispers his name, and
1602
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:17,800
another voice kind of answer is
flat, that that is not a man.
1603
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:21,640
Silence kind of tightens in the
air.
1604
01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:28,080
Relvain kind of studies glave
not with fear, but with disgust.
1605
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:35,120
I speak up, I whip around to
this person and I go, excuse me,
1606
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:40,200
why do you look upon our fallen
comrade with disgust and with
1607
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,880
vain?
He fought to protect us.
1608
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:46,200
What?
Who are you people?
1609
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:49,600
Who are you people to judge him
based on how he was built?
1610
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:53,440
Based upon how he was born?
A living soul bound to the
1611
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:57,360
construct architecture.
This is not a man.
1612
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:02,920
This is an abomination.
And that word lands like heavy,
1613
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:08,360
and a senior arcanist kind of
shakes their head and says
1614
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,040
there's there's no resurrection
protocol for this.
1615
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:20,560
To pull his soul would destroy
what remains.
1616
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:26,640
And Relvain kind of raises a
hand and the room goes quiet.
1617
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:38,760
He violates accords we hold with
life, death and consent and
1618
01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:41,760
anger begins to breakthrough
restraint.
1619
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:46,280
And Relvain meets Mimi,
especially meets your eyes.
1620
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:52,680
We do not bring back weapons
pretending to be people.
1621
01:59:54,640 --> 02:00:04,480
Wow, it was so right.
He was so right, people.
1622
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:11,360
He was so right.
You people were liars, each and
1623
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:18,200
everyone of you.
I, I, I I don't.
1624
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:21,720
Leave out of here.
These people don't deserve to
1625
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:24,640
gaze upon him with such disgust
as he has passed.
1626
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:28,560
He was just a kid.
Let's take a.
1627
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:32,040
Hold the bag of holding open so
that you can push him in
1628
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:34,040
clearly.
I couldn't do.
1629
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:36,960
It by myself.
Amy's going to scoop up Glaze's
1630
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,560
lifeless body and is going to
walk out.
1631
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:42,560
And as she like crosses, like
the edge of the threshold, she's
1632
02:00:42,560 --> 02:00:49,560
going to turn on and go, You are
all liars and I will remember
1633
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:52,640
each and every one of your
faces.
1634
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,120
And she's going to walk back to
the Tavern.
1635
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:59,480
Oh, she's just going to like,
almost growl at her a little bit
1636
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,920
like Mimi.
That's blasphemous.
1637
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:09,560
These people are here to help.
They do good work, even if they
1638
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:15,160
cannot help him.
Called him an abomination and a
1639
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,160
weapon, and they called his soul
filthy.
1640
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:22,480
Not true, not right.
I am a weapon.
1641
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:27,160
I might be blood and bones and
flesh and fur.
1642
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:32,520
Look in my eyes.
O Sisa, do you see a human?
1643
02:01:34,040 --> 02:01:37,320
No, you don't.
She's going to keep walking.
1644
02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:49,160
OK, so you'll leave the the
medics room, What we'll call it
1645
02:01:52,640 --> 02:01:59,360
as you leave Mimi, where is your
Ledger currently located?
1646
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:05,360
A Ledger is currently located on
like this side of my body, like
1647
02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:10,000
a satchel I guess.
It starts to burn you.
1648
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:13,520
I'm ripping it off and throwing
it on the ground.
1649
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:19,160
And I'm going to keep walking.
OK.
1650
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:31,200
Anybody else with their ledgers?
Well, I would look at my Ledger.
1651
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:37,680
Do all of us have that that
burning feeling?
1652
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:40,480
Or is it just Mimi?
It was just Mimi.
1653
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:48,560
Like is there any visible sign
of that burn or is it just like
1654
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:50,840
she feels it and she starts
throwing it off?
1655
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:53,960
So yeah, because she threw it
off immediately, I'm not going
1656
02:02:53,960 --> 02:03:00,360
to charge her any damage.
But the rest of you who are
1657
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:02,160
checking your ledgers, I need
everybody to give me an
1658
02:03:02,160 --> 02:03:06,880
investigation check.
Do they see Mimi like RIP it off
1659
02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:10,160
and throw it though?
I mean, I would have I'm going
1660
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,080
to say yes without even a
perception check because Mimi
1661
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:14,880
was standing effectively right
in front of them.
1662
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:17,080
Mimi left first.
Everybody else came from behind
1663
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:19,840
because they had None of this is
going to apply to you by the.
1664
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:28,160
Way I know I ain't even there.
OK, good. 18.
1665
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,560
I'm sorry, Mimi's high key had
enough.
1666
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:34,400
High key had enough.
You're crashing out, kid.
1667
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:39,280
Sorry, you said investigation,
correct?
1668
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:47,160
That'll be a 24.
Good, Zebulon and and actually
1669
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:49,960
Kasdea give me an investigation
check as well.
1670
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:54,280
OK.
Hold on, I forgot to find my
1671
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:56,120
D20.
I lost it somewhere in the dog
1672
02:03:56,120 --> 02:04:01,160
cuddle puddle.
I got 17 OK plus something.
1673
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:09,720
All of you notice in your
ledgers a completely black page
1674
02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,520
within the rest of your normal
pages.
1675
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:17,880
Would that apply to me still
though?
1676
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:23,240
Because technically Mimi took
Kaz's Ledger like 2 episodes ago
1677
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:26,280
and never gave it back.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're
1678
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:29,080
right.
So technically Kez doesn't even
1679
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:30,680
have her Ledger.
Mimi has it.
1680
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:35,360
OK, OK, so then this then I will
resend.
1681
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:38,200
This will not apply to you
Sevillon and Osisa.
1682
02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:44,160
You see a black page, very black
as night page now in your
1683
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:49,200
Ledger.
I'm going to focus on it and
1684
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:53,160
look for any detail, perhaps
leaning into my night vision or
1685
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:54,200
dark vision.
Sure.
1686
02:04:56,200 --> 02:04:59,840
So a seaside would assume you do
similar just kind of open it to
1687
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:03,360
the to the page.
OK, this isn't necessarily
1688
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:05,800
anything that we we you know,
requires any dark vision or
1689
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:09,080
things like that.
It is a black page and now
1690
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:15,920
written in elegant red ink.
Bright red ink, it says.
1691
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:19,560
During deliberation concerning
revival protocols and classified
1692
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:24,200
biological constructs, Agent
Mimi issued direct accusations
1693
02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,360
of dishonesty towards Syndicate
authority.
1694
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:29,600
Statements were made publicly
inside the secured chamber
1695
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:33,080
during an active review.
Agent Mimi is hereby placed
1696
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:37,080
under Syndicate Center and
Syndicate.
1697
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:44,320
What was it?
Syndicate unreliability status
1698
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:47,080
updated to distrust for
commanding logistical purposes.
1699
02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:50,880
Access to Syndicate resources as
restricted pending a formal
1700
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:54,560
review.
Mimi, you're going to have to
1701
02:05:54,560 --> 02:06:00,880
change your name.
What at this time, Mimi, you are
1702
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:05,560
going to lose all effects and
bonuses of the syndicate Ledger.
1703
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:13,040
So basically have to like
unattune it from your character.
1704
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,680
Correct.
Undertune.
1705
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:19,080
And as of right now, I mean, you
can, you can still have it in
1706
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:24,480
your inventory if you're using
DND Beyond, but it will not like
1707
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,880
the AC bonus and the the spell
bonus or you know, the spells,
1708
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:30,080
things like that.
None of that will apply to you
1709
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:33,720
as of right now.
You're still welcome to work at
1710
02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:36,880
the bar, but you might need to
like wear some makeup or a mask
1711
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:38,440
or something.
We'll figure it out.
1712
02:06:39,520 --> 02:06:41,040
I'm good at the illusion magic
stuff.
1713
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:45,480
Don't worry about it, you're
still part of the crew.
1714
02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:57,560
So are you going now?
Where are you going after this
1715
02:06:57,880 --> 02:07:00,120
again?
You've left the the medic area
1716
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:06,120
for the syndicate.
Are you leaving the headquarters
1717
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:09,160
completely?
Yeah.
1718
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:15,400
Well, I mean, we should if, if
we can't bring back Glave, then
1719
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:18,600
we should give him some kind of
burial or burial rites.
1720
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,000
Leave something else.
That's what I.
1721
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:25,680
Was about to say the syndicate
disapproves, but the syndicate
1722
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:28,760
disapproves.
Of the fallen soldier, they
1723
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,800
called him an abomination.
They said he was useless, they
1724
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:39,080
called him a weapon.
And what am I?
1725
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:43,360
Osisa, Can you answer?
That question for me, am I an
1726
02:07:43,360 --> 02:07:50,400
animal?
As was glate, I disagree with
1727
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,760
the.
Syndicate's decision not to.
1728
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:58,840
Revive him.
But it is beyond my power to do
1729
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:03,160
so.
They did not tell us that we
1730
02:08:03,160 --> 02:08:07,760
cannot give him proper rights.
Of burial, would you?
1731
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:10,240
Agree, he at least deserves that
much.
1732
02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:14,480
Hi everyone, spits a heart here
in the crit happens editing Bay.
1733
02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:17,800
So we learned very quickly in
the next. 5 minutes.
1734
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:22,920
That Internet sucks sometimes
and you lose a bunch of audio
1735
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:28,000
because it sounds like this, so
we're going to skip ahead about
1736
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,640
5 minutes, I promise.
You didn't miss anything.
1737
02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:34,240
Yeah, that like somebody else
might be willing to bring him
1738
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:40,760
back and.
I know I have broken.
1739
02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:50,280
By Ledger at the Syndicate.
But this final act of inhumanity
1740
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,880
towards.
Creature who is most like.
1741
02:08:52,960 --> 02:09:03,960
Myself is foul.
I will expose them.
1742
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:07,280
I don't care how long it takes.
I don't care how much people.
1743
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,440
How many people?
I have to kill and slaughter.
1744
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:17,760
Mimi, this is the syndicate.
Are you sure you want to make an
1745
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:22,160
enemy out of a?
Group this large, this powerful?
1746
02:09:26,080 --> 02:09:30,800
Well, maybe I'll just join.
The other side for just a moment
1747
02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:33,200
in your head.
You here.
1748
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,720
I always welcome new members.
You know exactly who it is.
1749
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:46,000
She's a Step 10 think.
Price He's just listening to us
1750
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:47,960
the whole time.
Mimi, I need you to give me a.
1751
02:09:47,960 --> 02:10:04,720
Wisdom saving throw please.
OK. 13 when you hear the voice
1752
02:10:04,720 --> 02:10:06,200
of Neros in your.
Head.
1753
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:09,400
It almost has.
This effect.
1754
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:13,080
Of.
You see?
1755
02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:16,400
Now in.
Front of you, Neros.
1756
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:20,240
And you?
Just immediately go after him
1757
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:27,680
and take a slash across the face
at him and for a moment you see
1758
02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:31,680
Neros bleeding and then you
blink and then it's just.
1759
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:34,680
A regular.
Syndicate agent that you just
1760
02:10:34,680 --> 02:10:41,480
slashed across the face.
Holy fucking shit.
1761
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:48,000
Mimi, what are you?
Doing I'm going to go over.
1762
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:52,120
To heal them staring at her.
Head and it's flooded and she's
1763
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:54,600
just thinking like in her head,
why don't I just do that?
1764
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:55,760
I don't want to hurt.
Neros.
1765
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:56,720
Neros might.
Be right.
1766
02:10:56,960 --> 02:10:59,360
I'm confused and I'm lost and
I'm scared.
1767
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:01,440
Mimi, I need a wisdom saving
throw please.
1768
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:09,200
Oh fuck.
You blast me.
1769
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:12,320
I'm going to say. 2 bad Graves
isn't alive.
1770
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:17,680
He gives everybody a + 5.
To say 1717 OK, yes, you, you
1771
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:22,960
begin to you want to go back.
At a second slash and what you
1772
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:26,880
again perceive as neuros, but as
you go to step forward, you
1773
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:31,560
blink and you kind of do that,
that series of blinks where
1774
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:39,040
you're just kind of coming to
and you settled down just a bit.
1775
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:40,920
You were almost at the point of
break.
1776
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:49,880
Oh.
Cure wounds on the agent.
1777
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:53,360
OK, you can give him Max Max HP
with that.
1778
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:55,880
OK, tend to.
His wounds, you know, kind of
1779
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:57,400
stop.
The bleeding.
1780
02:11:57,400 --> 02:11:59,960
By the way, Cassidy, you'd
probably hear this commotion.
1781
02:12:00,720 --> 02:12:02,760
Oh, yeah, the cast.
Cast.
1782
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:04,000
I was just going to say cast
comes.
1783
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:06,760
Around the corner like what the
fuck is happening right now and
1784
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,440
looks at?
Mimi with a bloody hand looks at
1785
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:12,880
the syndicated agent, goes,
walks up to Mimi and kind of
1786
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:14,760
takes her bloody hand and goes
it's OK.
1787
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:19,000
And I do have a question out of
character before.
1788
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,080
Before that I need an animal
handling check please.
1789
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:27,760
Real cool.
That's a 19.
1790
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:34,800
OK, OK, you you successfully
begin to calm Mimi down.
1791
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:38,880
OK, cool.
So my question is, is would Kaz
1792
02:12:38,880 --> 02:12:42,320
Daya having been?
In Neuros.
1793
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:46,960
'S clutches for UN quote.
Would she know where the.
1794
02:12:46,960 --> 02:13:00,640
Magistrate is to.
Me history check he was ranting
1795
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:02,920
about it all day while.
He had you tied up.
1796
02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:05,960
He wouldn't.
He wouldn't shut the hell up
1797
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:10,080
about it.
That's a dirty. 20 OK.
1798
02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:12,400
So with a.
Dirty 20 with a dirty 20.
1799
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:15,840
Yes, you.
Know the location of where the
1800
02:13:15,840 --> 02:13:17,120
magistrate.
Is now the.
1801
02:13:17,120 --> 02:13:21,560
Magistrate from.
What you know is let's pull up
1802
02:13:21,560 --> 02:13:26,280
my notes here, Jesus, not the
notes.
1803
02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,520
Where?
Oh, where did they go?
1804
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:36,400
I apologize for Mimi's actions,
she's going off the rails.
1805
02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:42,880
And I apologize if I harm anyone
at one point.
1806
02:13:43,160 --> 02:13:50,920
Because I don't know yet, OK.
So with a dirty 20 cast Daya.
1807
02:13:51,480 --> 02:13:57,880
You know that the magistrate is
located at the Dominion High
1808
02:13:57,880 --> 02:14:01,400
Administration Complex, located
within the ash and belt.
1809
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:13,960
He is a He specializes in.
Preventative governance, we'll
1810
02:14:13,960 --> 02:14:16,240
call it.
OK.
1811
02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:18,440
You know that he's located at
the.
1812
02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:21,480
Headquarters of the Dominion.
Which is the Dominion?
1813
02:14:21,480 --> 02:14:23,040
High administration.
Complex.
1814
02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:29,600
OK.
Oh, or we'll call it or.
1815
02:14:29,600 --> 02:14:37,880
DAC for short DHAC OK.
So in order to, I'll continue.
1816
02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:41,120
Yeah, in order.
To be able to take him, you'll.
1817
02:14:41,120 --> 02:14:43,680
Need to infiltrate?
The headquarters of the Dominion
1818
02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:46,800
of Fall Reach.
OK.
1819
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:50,560
So share that with the rest of
the party.
1820
02:14:51,480 --> 02:14:59,920
Yes, OK, 100%.
Yeah, I say.
1821
02:14:59,920 --> 02:15:01,720
What you just said.
OK, good.
1822
02:15:03,280 --> 02:15:06,840
Yeah, so.
We got to go, guys.
1823
02:15:07,360 --> 02:15:14,240
Like now.
Osisa you good has going to kind
1824
02:15:14,240 --> 02:15:17,720
of turn to Osisa.
Who's healing the random?
1825
02:15:18,120 --> 02:15:20,040
Man, that's.
Bleeding from the face.
1826
02:15:21,760 --> 02:15:26,880
OSIS is going to turn around and
be like I'm fine but.
1827
02:15:27,440 --> 02:15:29,760
I think.
Mimi's having some issues.
1828
02:15:30,760 --> 02:15:33,560
Mimi's fine.
She's going to say that really
1829
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:36,760
quick and like, clipped.
Mimi's fine, let's go.
1830
02:15:37,360 --> 02:15:40,440
She's going to kind of tug on
Mimi's hand and kind of start
1831
02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:45,920
walking.
Give me another Animal Handling
1832
02:15:45,920 --> 02:15:48,520
check or I'll tell you what you.
Can give me either animal
1833
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:56,040
handling or persuasion?
Good.
1834
02:16:01,280 --> 02:16:08,160
Theme music 21. 21 Yeah, maybe
you'll go down to. 6.
1835
02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:14,960
OK.
So Mimi, do we want to explain
1836
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:15,760
what's happening?
With you?
1837
02:16:15,760 --> 02:16:18,280
Or is this just specific in
secret to your character?
1838
02:16:24,320 --> 02:16:30,440
It might be useful for.
OK, OK, so I kind.
1839
02:16:30,440 --> 02:16:32,360
Of heard you, you're still
you're having Internet problems
1840
02:16:32,360 --> 02:16:34,240
again.
So of my party.
1841
02:16:34,240 --> 02:16:36,760
Members, they knew what was.
Yeah.
1842
02:16:36,920 --> 02:16:39,240
So what what's happening here is
Mimi is.
1843
02:16:39,920 --> 02:16:42,000
Fighting her primal.
There we go.
1844
02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:44,559
Mimi Mimi's fighting.
Her primal instinct.
1845
02:16:46,280 --> 02:16:50,840
So she has a effectively, we
would call the tension clock
1846
02:16:51,160 --> 02:16:56,080
that certain events trigger her
primal instincts, if you will.
1847
02:16:56,879 --> 02:17:00,680
I'm not going to discuss what
those are, but that's
1848
02:17:00,680 --> 02:17:04,840
effectively what we're tracking
is she's fighting the urge to
1849
02:17:04,840 --> 02:17:08,799
just go full feral and kick the
shit out of everyone.
1850
02:17:12,120 --> 02:17:15,360
So he's on a ticking killer time
clock.
1851
02:17:16,559 --> 02:17:22,760
He's a ticking time bomb.
So perfect So.
1852
02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:29,400
You will put Glave in the bag.
You will then head out and you
1853

Last session.
A hush fell over the Whisper
14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,280
Fang.
That wasn't simple morning
15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,440
quiet.
The hearth sat dead, the air
16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,720
thinned, and Qasdea's door
answered.
17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120
No knock.
Inside, her room was stripped of
18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,200
order.
Belongings scattered like a
19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,600
storm had moved through.
While she stood still, Osisa
20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080
found the note on the bedside
table, Qasdea's script sharp
21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,600
with resolve.
Something from Pyre Heart had
22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280
followed.
Knew her name and Orion's.
23
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:08,040
She would not risk the agents
distance with strategy.
24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Do not look for me, her oath
held.
25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Osisa sent a soft benediction
into the ledger's lines and
26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,920
received nothing back but
silence.
27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,440
In Zebulon's map room 3 sealed
plans from relvain pages clearly
28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,040
born from a high oath.
Binders Ledger flared warm on
29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,640
the wall.
Map Black Glass, Causeway,
30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,880
Cinder Reach, Vault, Frost Line,
Watchtower.
31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,680
Mimi's sharp eye flagged the
Providence, and Osisa argued for
32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,400
caution.
The agents agreed to share only
33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840
minimal updates upward until
they understood who pulled which
34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,480
strings they picked Frost Line
first, gathered cold weather
35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,000
cloaks, rune chalk, and a single
memory bloom, and stepped into
36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
the Shatter Peaks.
A mirroring drift awaited them.
37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,640
Snow turned to ground glass and
light that lied.
38
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Svara and Zebulun took painful
tumbles into sudden drops while
39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Mimi flowed across the treachery
and Osisa read the warp well
40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,240
enough to shepherd the line.
Glaive and Harkum rejoined at a
41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,600
fork and at Frost Line's base, a
pink haired artificer with a
42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,680
buzzing companion.
Nick's ember coil flashed fire
43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,080
and nerves before the sight of
their Ledger eased her stance.
44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,760
The final approach demanded
intent.
45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Glaive blinked Harkum near the
doors.
46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Mimi bounded with predatory
grace.
47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,800
Savara sprinted through biting
eddies, absorbing the cold
48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,800
sting.
Nix misjudged once and came away
49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640
singed but stubborn, then landed
true.
50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,840
Zebulon tried a mirror step
gambit that went sideways,
51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,880
dropped hard, and Asisa's prayer
threaded A narrow path through
52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960
the interference to set his knee
right.
53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Harcum shouldered a pull door
the wrong way and still forced
54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,400
it, an axe clattering from a
trip rig as they entered.
55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Inside, heat pulsed through a
split syndicate conduit while
56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680
failing ward rings glowed like
embers around the chamber.
57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Snow sublimated in mid air.
The tower felt alive and
58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,920
overheated, a heart laboring in
a chest of stone.
59
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,440
Footsteps sounded from above,
measured, unhurried.
60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,520
Nairos descended, calm and
precise, amber light tracing his
61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
eyes as the conduit's pulse
answered his nearness.
62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Frost Line, he said, was a
message, not a weapon always
63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
meant to break 1st.
And now that they had come, he
64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440
would not leave the work
unfinished.
65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Three ward rings screamed as
they failed, stone cracked and
66
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640
sealed in flashes of orange and
Violet.
67
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,720
The pulse steadied under his
hand, with the tower itself
68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,960
bending to his will.
The agents of the Syndicate
69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,040
faced a choice that could set
the tone for every fracture yet
70
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,520
to come.
You came back.
71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,240
I would say I'm surprised, but
surprise implies uncertainty.
72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
You've never truly left this
conversation, no matter how
73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,519
loudly you declared it finished.
Don't flatter yourself.
74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
I came because silence was
becoming more dangerous than
75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,200
you.
This place still answers the
76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,160
truth, or at least it used to.
And I needed to know whether you
77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,400
still did too.
You remember the path better
78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
than you like to admit, even
after the Syndicate convinced
79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880
themselves you had burned every
bridge behind you.
80
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,840
I told them what they needed so
they would stop asking questions
81
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,120
I was not ready to answer.
That does not mean I forgot
82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,160
where this store was or who
waits on the other side of it.
83
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,160
Yet you came alone, no wards
trailing you, no allies hovering
84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,160
just outside of my vision.
That's either confidence or
85
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
perhaps desperation.
It is containment.
86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,400
This place does not tolerate
witnesses, and neither do you.
87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,560
If I brought anyone else, you
would have known before they
88
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,400
crossed the threshold.
You sound tired.
89
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,440
I'm exhausted.
I am tired of being told you are
90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,880
a monster by people who profit
from the same systems you are
91
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,480
trying to tear down.
I am tired of pretending my fear
92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,920
for you is simple or clean.
Fear is never those things.
93
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,600
It's layered memory with teeth
sharpened by repetition.
94
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,720
Save the philosophy.
Explain why my son walked into
95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,160
your shadow and came back
sounding like you.
96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,480
He came back sounding like
himself.
97
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,920
I'm not sure what you're
speaking about that that fact
98
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,680
frightens you more than any
resemblance to me.
99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,840
He asked questions, and no child
should be asking questions that
100
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,280
carved pieces out of the world
when spoken aloud.
101
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,120
He asked the questions that
adults trained themselves not to
102
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
ask because the answers were
inconvenient.
103
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,440
That difference matters.
You let him believe he had a
104
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,240
choice.
That is the cruelest part.
105
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,920
He did have a choice.
You confused choice with safety
106
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,440
because the world taught you
that those two things were
107
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,920
interchangeable.
They're not.
108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000
You stand in the center of a war
over memory and truth and call
109
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,840
it clarity.
You cannot pretend that is
110
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,280
neutral ground.
No, I stand in a war that
111
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,280
existed long before I named it,
and I refuse to pretend it is a
112
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,920
it is holy just because
institutions benefit from it.
113
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,920
You let him see too much.
You open doors that cannot be
114
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,440
closed again.
I gave language to what he
115
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,800
already saw.
The Hollowed Host erases people
116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,400
politely.
The Syndicate, They keep their
117
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,720
ledgers of names and forget the
lives attached to them.
118
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,040
Orion noticed this.
I didn't teach him to see.
119
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,560
I only stopped lying when he
asked what he was seeing.
120
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,880
You should have sent him back
empty.
121
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640
Empty is how the institutions
return people when when they're
122
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,240
done extracting value from them.
You always do this.
123
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,160
You dress inevitability up as
consent and call it honesty.
124
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,200
I make inevitability visible.
Consent is what you are doing by
125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,960
standing here instead of leaving
when every instinct tells you to
126
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240
run.
You win.
127
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,560
Do not look so pleased.
This is not surrender, this is
128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960
triage.
I am choosing which truth I can
129
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,120
live with and which one will
kill me if I keep denying it.
130
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Almost you're choosing which
truth bleeds first.
131
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
You came for leverage, you
always do.
132
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
You looked at the world and
asked what I would bleed for,
133
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,720
and you found his name without
hesitation.
134
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
I did not search for leverage.
He came to me.
135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,360
He asked why memory is hoarded
like currency, why grief is
136
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,000
taxed, and why everyone pretends
that forgetting is some sort of
137
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
mercy.
I know what you are.
138
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,680
I know what your power does.
It does not burn or conquer, it
139
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,840
settles.
It teaches patience till
140
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,280
resistance feels inefficient and
then calls that wisdom.
141
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,400
And yet 'cause they you crossed
the ward anyway.
142
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520
And I'm still saying yes.
But not because you trust me.
143
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Gods no trust would require
believing you are harmless.
144
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,720
And not because you believe me.
No, you lie like breathing.
145
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Sometimes because you must,
sometimes because you like how
146
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,840
it reshapes the room.
And say why you're here without
147
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,760
disguising it as accusation.
Because Orion is not a lesson,
148
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,880
he is not a consequence, he is
not proof your ideas work.
149
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,760
He is my son and I will not let
him be turned into a philosophy
150
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,040
experiment.
And he is someone who asked why
151
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
the world needs forgetting to
function at all.
152
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:12,440
Then hear this clearly.
Find me, Mark me, put whatever
153
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,920
part of yourself you need into
me if it keeps your hands off of
154
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
him and your influence away from
his future.
155
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,800
I'm not taking you as some sort
of trade or as payment.
156
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Then define what I am to you
before I decide you're lying
157
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,840
again.
It's really easy.
158
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:33,840
You are a witness, someone who
understands the cruelty of
159
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,800
memory that never fades and the
cruelty of forgetting that is
160
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,160
forced.
Someone, Someone who will never
161
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,560
worship me.
I want you honest when they call
162
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,480
me a monster and call it
morality.
163
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,520
I want intent.
I want to know the moment
164
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,600
resistance becomes the habit
instead of just a thought.
165
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Nero's swear to me.
Orion remains free.
166
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,320
No compulsion, no change
disguised as guidance or
167
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,640
destiny.
He does remain free.
168
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,440
He he can walk away from me at
any time and he would know owe
169
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,640
me nothing.
And if he does?
170
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,720
Then I will mourn that loss
honestly, and I would let him
171
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
go.
There's one more condition and
172
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,960
it will decide whether this ends
now.
173
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240
I wouldn't expect that reaching
success with something like this
174
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,800
would go without a condition
speak it.
175
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Stop let's write this story I
don't need the allegory please
176
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,480
just tell me what's real.
But nothing ever seemed to be
177
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:52,210
real.
But she's some colors that don't
178
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:54,210
exist.
Painting my painting
179
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:56,650
counterfeit.
Bless every truth I knew just
180
00:10:56,650 --> 00:11:00,210
starts to twist can from a calm
in a world like this.
181
00:11:00,690 --> 00:11:04,520
I've been my tongue till the
words went dry Like a chief
182
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,320
disguise.
I see the truth when I close my
183
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,440
eyes.
The hardest part was a great
184
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,160
goodbye and fake the ache can
master train.
185
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,440
I've been lost inside my name.
All the mirrors look the same,
186
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,960
but I don't see my face.
Face with stop, I've been.
187
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Running every way lost the
blast.
188
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,840
Welcome back to Crit Habits here
on Spotify, iTunes,
189
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,200

We are here to complete another
192
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,840
mission here in another episode
of Crit Habits with the agents
193
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,800
of the of the syndicate.
Go ahead and say hello, agents.
194
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Hello.
Hello.
195
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:20,880
All right, so as we left off
last session, you step into the
196
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,920
frost line Watchtower, and as
you remember on the watchtower
197
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,080
floor, as you all enter the
doors, cold stone presses close,
198
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,960
even in the open air.
Wind howls through broken arches
199
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,840
and drags thin ice across the
floor like whispering fingers.
200
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,080
The height of your stomach
tightens.
201
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,880
There's no railing, there's no
protection.
202
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,080
This place was built for
watchers, not for comfort.
203
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,000
The chamber is empty.
Almost a single figure stands at
204
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,520
the center of the tower floor.
Back to you.
205
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,280
No guards, no Thrones, no
sigils.
206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Just presents heavy and
deliberate, like the air before
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,480
a storm snaps.
Neros.
208
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040
He does not turn when you
arrive.
209
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,880
He does not acknowledge
footsteps, armor, breath.
210
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,720
He already knows you are here.
Silence stretches long enough to
211
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,480
feel intentional.
Then, without facing you, Neros
212
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,520
speaks.
You made it further than most.
213
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,360
He turns slowly.
His eyes pass over you, not
214
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,040
lingering, not judging,
measuring, taking inventory.
215
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,200
The wind surges through the
tower, the tower rattling loose
216
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,520
stone near us, tilts his head
slightly and then looks at all
217
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,400
of you, 1 by 1.
You came here, there must be a
218
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,240
purpose.
Do you want her returned?
219
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,320
What?
Do you want her returned?
220
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Who do you speak of precisely?
Who do I speak of?
221
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Well, you tell me, when you
pictured this door opening, who
222
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040
did you expect to see?
Definitely not your bitch ass.
223
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,080
I'm going to be honest.
Monster from the Syndicate
224
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,560
reports, perhaps the Heretic,
the Heretic from the Hollowed
225
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Host Bells, or perhaps the
friend you abandoned in favor of
226
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,680
a simpler story.
Friend is arguable, mutual is
227
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,200
most likely.
I stay silent, but I am
228
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,320
definitely making a face at him.
I'm.
229
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240
Kind of I stepped in front of
Zebulon and I kind of like
230
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,760
pushing it behind me a little
bit.
231
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,680
I think you misunderstand.
I'm not the friend I'm talking
232
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:18,920
about, but with that in mind, it
does seem that you've been very
233
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:24,480
busy rehearsing what I am.
None of you stopped to wonder
234
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,640
who I might be talking to while
you all argue about me.
235
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Argue We're waiting for you.
What is it you brought us?
236
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Who is it you're talking about?
Your resistance, truth, and
237
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,920
memory is astounding.
Let's recap.
238
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,720
You did not come when Orion
disappeared.
239
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,400
You did not come when the Bells
swallowed names right in front
240
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520
of you.
You did not come when the
241
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Syndicate rewrote its failures
as your orders.
242
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320
You're so kind of tilt his head
a little bit, weighing each of
243
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,280
you individually.
And you didn't come when your
244
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,840
precious Castilla went missing.
And as he says that, he snaps
245
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,440
his fingers and right in front
of him appears a tee fling,
246
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,760
beaten, bloodied, bound in
chains.
247
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Is she gay?
So tell.
248
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Me something.
Oh, the on hand her.
249
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Oh, she said.
The answer to that question is
250
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,720
yes.
OK.
251
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,440
If you don't get your slimy
little hands off of her, I'm
252
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,520
going to RIP you limb from limb
and feast upon your flesh.
253
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,560
You will become a casserole.
So did you come to save the
254
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,280
world, or did you come to save
her?
255
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Why not both?
Why not both?
256
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,760
I warn you though, do not take
another step.
257
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,200
She's alive right now because
you all are listening.
258
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,800
I would like it to remain that
way.
259
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,560
What do you want an eye for?
An eye.
260
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,119
I have no eyes.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
261
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,839
No hair too.
That's gone.
262
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:26,599
Sorry, what?
Let's frame the situation before
263
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,920
you ask.
No spell dragged her here, no
264
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,520
leash pulled her through the
dark.
265
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,440
She walked.
She walked into this watchtower
266
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,000
alone.
No syndicate wards, no escorts,
267
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,000
none of you to accompany her,
and no plan that survived 3
268
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,160
questions.
She came because of Orion and
269
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,160
now she's here saying because of
you.
270
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,400
OK.
So why did she choose me?
271
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,040
She left you.
Maybe because you took her son,
272
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Maybe because you blinded her in
the darkness.
273
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
There's a lot of variables that
could play into this.
274
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,160
However, it's not our fault,
it's yours.
275
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,760
You say that like it's a prayer,
not like it's evidence she came
276
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,160
here.
You did not.
277
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,720
That fact sits directly between
us, whether you acknowledge it
278
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,600
or not.
Hey, what?
279
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:25,040
What?
Pause.
280
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,480
Back it up.
First off, what are you doing
281
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,240
here in this tower?
We obviously know that there's a
282
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,560
big war going on, and we're here
to fix Fractures 2.
283
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Where's your son?
Let's back up for just a moment.
284
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,480
Mimi, I do not believe that your
character would know that Kasdea
285
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,760
has a son.
I unless I'm wrong, I don't
286
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,880
believe Tazaya has has informed
you of that.
287
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
I know that she has informed of
Sisa of that.
288
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,120
Yep, Yep, you're correct.
I don't.
289
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,200
Oh, Sisa, you take the wheel.
Cece, you take the wheel.
290
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,520
Take the wheel.
Josisa take the wheel.
291
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,920
Spencer, you're going to have to
refresh my memory on this.
292
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Wasn't Orion brought up in front
of the group as a whole when
293
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,600
Neros first turned on everyone?
I'm sorry, say again.
294
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Yeah, because she she had that
dream or whatever and she shared
295
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,400
that with you and I assume you
shared it with that with others
296
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240
too.
Neros I was riding.
297
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,880
Him in front of everybody, also
by name.
298
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Orion, but.
Not by like explaining the whole
299
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,960
family tree.
Yeah, right.
300
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,680
My my memory serves as as
nearest brought up Orion.
301
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Or something like that.
Oh, you are correct that.
302
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Yeah, you are correct.
I apologize.
303
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,960
Yeah.
So that was.
304
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680
That was his proof to no memory
basically correct.
305
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,160
Yes, I, yes, I apologize.
That happened at the pyre heart
306
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,000
of chords.
So yes, we can revert to
307
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,240
everything I've said over the
last minute and you may
308
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,920
continue.
So you want to list a list of
309
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,520
what I'm doing?
Fine.
310
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,160
What I've done is I've treated
her like every other person who
311
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,520
steps into a story that they
don't control.
312
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:35,000
I offered her terms, I set
boundaries, and I hurt her, and
313
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240
she refused both.
You might call it cruelty.
314
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,120
I call it a consequence.
I have to wonder why you're
315
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,760
speaking with us Nero's at this
point, because you already made
316
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,680
us an offer to join you and said
we'd die if we didn't, and we
317
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,640
obviously chose not to.
So why are we even talking at
318
00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,680
this point?
I suppose, I suppose it's my
319
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,920
humanity.
I don't look for death, I don't
320
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,480
look to harm and hurt.
But I'd like for you to clarify
321
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,840
something for me.
Did you all come here because
322
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,720
she matters to you, or because
you can't stand the idea that
323
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,440
she chose to stand near me?
I would skin myself alive if it
324
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,120
meant having her back.
I don't give a flying fuck about
325
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,680
you or your whatever you're
calling a revolution.
326
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Whatever you're doing, I care
more about the person you
327
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,280
currently have bound in chains.
Oh her.
328
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,880
And as he kind of says that, he
kind of twitches his head, like
329
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:53,400
nodding to her, and you all just
see as a another kind of cut
330
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,920
goes from her temple, down her
cheekbone, connects just below
331
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:05,240
her jawline, not from any
physical action, but a clear
332
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,760
slow slicing across her face and
blood kind of falls out.
333
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480
You want to take her home?
You mean the syndicate?
334
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,040
The syndicate wants to take her
home.
335
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,320
The people who decided what she
was allowed to question.
336
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,640
We honestly, currently, you
can't trust anything.
337
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,280
We can't trust the Syndicate
fully, we can't trust them
338
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,000
fully, we can't trust you fully.
But I know that we can trust
339
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,960
each other and currently you're
holding on to somebody who
340
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,400
matters.
It doesn't.
341
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,360
We don't give a flying fuck
about the Syndicate.
342
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,080
At least I don't.
I've questioned them at every
343
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,120
turn, every single turn, every
single Rd.
344
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,760
I don't.
It's just give her back.
345
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,120
You're running around in
circles, making us guess, making
346
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:58,560
us figure out riddles for your
stupid little game.
347
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,360
This is not a game, this is
somebody's life.
348
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,520
Give her back.
You for you, the people who
349
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080
claimed to trust her and then
stopped listening when her
350
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,320
questions made you a little bit
uncomfortable, when she vanished
351
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,200
and you did nothing.
What are we supposed to do?
352
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,800
She told us not to look for her.
They respect her wishes.
353
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:25,840
And now?
She's.
354
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:32,960
From us, that was her decision.
So this was her.
355
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Decision Also, we can't change
her mind.
356
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:43,080
We can't go back into the past
and go, oh, Arfa Nugen.
357
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,120
So this must also be her
decision then.
358
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,800
And you're also kind of take a
step towards her, half step to
359
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,440
the side where she's kind of in
front of him.
360
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,160
She's obviously bound and
chained on her knees.
361
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,200
He'll take his shield and kind
of rest it on top of her, the
362
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:04,880
ankle bone, and then lean down
hard and you can hear the crunch
363
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,240
of bone.
She chose this, right?
364
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,280
That's what you're saying.
She chose this.
365
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,080
What do you want, dude?
Quite actually.
366
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,040
What do you want?
We're all here standing up in
367
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,680
this tower with you as you
monologue at us and proceed to
368
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,320
break the bones of our friend.
What do you want?
369
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:34,960
Friend is a generous term, but
since you asked so plainly, I
370
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080
will ask plainly if you want her
returned.
371
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Good, then we treat this as an
exchange, not a theft, not a
372
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:52,480
ransom, A favor for a life.
We'll say a.
373
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,440
Favor.
Favor, do we agree?
374
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,880
Or you can what's you can come
take her.
375
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,520
No, I step.
Forward and and I will take her
376
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,520
place if you let her go.
I'm not interested in clerics on
377
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:22,960
the spiral down the drain.
Mimi's going to afford to go.
378
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,880
I will return you a favor.
If it means that we can have
379
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,920
Cassadaya back, I will return
your favor.
380
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800
You can call upon this favor
whenever you may wish.
381
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Oh no, it's a specific.
It's a specific.
382
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Favorite right now?
OK, what's your favorite right
383
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,360
now?
What's the favorite?
384
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,080
The precious syndicate won't be
very happy.
385
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,040
What's new?
And what about the rest of you?
386
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000
The cat speaks.
Does she speak for all of you?
387
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,640
You.
Zebulon?
388
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,240
What?
What about you?
389
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,640
I'm going to need more details
before I agree to anything.
390
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,160
Do you view me as evil?
I think evil is a matter of
391
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,080
perspective, and I think we're
on different ends of that
392
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,840
perspective.
I'll hear.
393
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,360
You about cleric?
Am I fallen or simply
394
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,160
misunderstood?
Or am I evil?
395
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,200
You have the means to know.
You are an oath breaker as it
396
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,640
stands.
Whether or not you are evil
397
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,640
remains to be seen.
I broke no oath.
398
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,160
The oath went away when Velora
died.
399
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:47,480
There was no oath to break.
You killed Velora, you killed
400
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:55,120
your goddess for power.
You stand in the face of
401
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,240
everything that is.
It is to be a cleric.
402
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,680
You act tough because being
honest would crush you.
403
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,040
I make no judgment on you beyond
what I have seen.
404
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
The gods will choose where you
belong.
405
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,400
So this is where we got to kind
of like play a little bit of a
406
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,760
play a little bit back and forth
here.
407
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
If I need to speak as glave, how
do?
408
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,480
How should I handle that?
I would just.
409
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Kind of monotony robotic.
Yeah, I would say that would be
410
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,600
fine.
I can I can differentiate
411
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,760
between the two.
OK, So then Glaive will take a
412
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,840
step toward Mimi.
I think you're roughly the same
413
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:48,600
height, and he'll slowly kind of
lean in and just say Cat.
414
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,400
Do I attack him now?
No.
415
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,760
I was being diplomatic.
He is a.
416
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Problem or being diplomatic
Glave.
417
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,560
There's a specific time for when
we break his skull open.
418
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,160
That time is not now.
We need to get Cassadea back
419
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,720
safely in our arms.
We cannot cross that threshold.
420
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Do not cross the threshold or we
lose her.
421
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,480
Mimi and Glave, can I have
competing persuasion checks
422
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,600
please?
I'm not trying to persuade.
423
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,960
No, no, no.
She's trying to persuade you not
424
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,600
to attack.
Oh, I got a 27.
425
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,080
Oh no.
No, no, no, you haven't even
426
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,920
rolled yet, man.
I think you're gonna need, I
427
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,800
think you're gonna need that 20
girl.
428
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Can you beat the 27?
She came within that 20 OH.
429
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,800
God, I don't.
I don't know.
430
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
I Oh no.
No.
431
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,680
If if you give me an AD 20,
you're you're solid.
432
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280
I mean, I have another
inspiration to die, can I use
433
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,880
it?
Sure, what the hell?
434
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,640
OK, please, please no.
Sorry, I feel like he's not
435
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,560
convinced to not attack, but
he's he's not trying to convince
436
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040
himself to attack either.
He's looking forward.
437
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,600
He's just asking guidance, Yeah.
So I mean, glave at this point.
438
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,040
Yeah, glave at this point, you
would not necessarily fear the
439
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,200
compulsion to attack, but you
also feel like you've been made
440
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,720
to eliminate problems.
And the way that you eliminate
441
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,280
problems is by striking and
counting.
442
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,200
And you even after me means
like, don't, don't freaking do
443
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
it.
You're still like, you know,
444
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:43,040
that's me.
OK, can I ask how far away?
445
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,200
Are we from your house?
I would say about 30 feet,
446
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
you've just all of you have just
kind of entered the the
447
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:57,200
watchtower and are kind of lined
up by the door kind of in like
448
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,520
1/2 circle almost where Neros is
standing in the center of the
449
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,360
stone floor of the watchtower.
Can I ask Neros a question?
450
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,400
Sure you don't need my
permission?
451
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,600
So, Neros, what is the favor?
I will fulfill the favour if you
452
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,080
tell me it immediately right now
and we switch.
453
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,800
You give us Cassadilla, you go
on your merry way.
454
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,320
I finished the thingy and then
we're good.
455
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,080
We're chilling.
You don't need all of us to
456
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,080
agree with the favour.
And I do need a life to agree to
457
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,600
the favour.
Son of a nugget.
458
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,240
OK, all right, one second,
Neros, if you'll excuse us.
459
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320
And I'm going to like bring
everybody in like a little team
460
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,800
huddle.
All right, everybody, football
461
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,040
huddle.
Does anybody want to like roll
462
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,640
an insight to see?
Yeah.
463
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,040
About nearest is like if he's if
he's planning anything, you
464
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,200
know, because if you if you lose
focus on him or his attention.
465
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,120
Oh, you're right.
We know.
466
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,080
He's planning something.
I mean, yeah, but like the on
467
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,000
the level of severity.
I'm rolling for Insight 18.
468
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,800
What would I have Spencer or
what would Nearest have to, I'm
469
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:20,960
going to say hide his intent?
His his real intent.
470
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Let's call that a kind of
loosely A deception check, I'll
471
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760
say.
That you're you're kind of
472
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240
hiding your true intentions.
Sure.
473
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:40,040
That's Charisma 12.
So Nearest's overall intent
474
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,080
based on what you can see and
judge is not so much vindictive
475
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,400
or evil at this point, right?
He's not looking.
476
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,600
He's not looking for a fight.
Got it?
477
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Not at this point.
Got it.
478
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,720
OK.
All right, So I'm going to turn
479
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,160
to my group.
I'm going to actually I'm just
480
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,400
going to still maintaining eye
contact.
481
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,680
I'm going to speak out loud and
go.
482
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,720
He not trying to fight us
currently is simply asking us a
483
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,520
favor.
If we want Cassadia back, we all
484
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,800
have to agree to the favor.
I understand this might go
485
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,160
against your oath or your
programming or however you're
486
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,040
built or structured, but I swear
to God, if we lose Cassadia over
487
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,680
this, I will personally hunt
each and everyone of you down
488
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,920
across the galaxies and eat you.
Why have we not asked for from
489
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,960
her?
Her mouth is not found.
490
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Her mouth is gagged.
Oh, and that's not in the
491
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,040
picture.
Well, I I'm sorry, it wouldn't
492
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600
do it because it ran into a
sexuality guideline.
493
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:57,240
What do you want from me?
You know, then never mind move.
494
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,160
The gag from her so we can we
can speak to our friend.
495
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,160
You wish to speak to her.
Yes, we wish to know her
496
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,720
thoughts.
I'm not sure she has much to say
497
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:15,440
right now.
All right gang, what are we
498
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,920
thinking?
Speak out loud or forever hold
499
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,840
your peace right the fuck now.
I'm concerned that might not
500
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,440
even be Castea right?
There might.
501
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,880
That might just be an illusion.
It appeared out of nowhere,
502
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,880
hasn't said anything.
Exactly, that's why we need the
503
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,000
gag removed.
Real quick, so just a couple of
504
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,880
things.
When Nero started smashing her
505
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:48,040
bones, she absolutely screamed,
but you would imagine the the
506
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,640
scream with like a muffled
sound.
507
00:33:53,680 --> 00:34:00,840
She she absolutely has made
noise when Nero's smashed her
508
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,240
bones.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
509
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,840
Oh, Sisa.
Skeptical.
510
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,280
I don't know.
I think we could try to break
511
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,360
her free.
I've got a handful of tools
512
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,000
available to us.
I can use mislead to become
513
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,600
invisible and leave a duplicate
are.
514
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,360
We having this conversation out
loud in front of him.
515
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Oh, Sisa my.
Understanding is that we were
516
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,600
having a huddle away from him.
No, because we need to keep our
517
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,480
attention on him, I tell.
You what what I would allow is,
518
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,639
is a huddle of perception and
I'm going to have you do that in
519
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,400
just a second.
But basically what would happen
520
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,560
is Mimi would call the huddle of
everybody where she can be
521
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
positioned to not only talk to
you guys in the huddle, but also
522
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,440
keep an eye on Neros.
I would allow that that.
523
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,920
Well, that would be fine.
But yes, absolutely Neros give
524
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:00,680
me a perception check to see if
you can hear what they say.
525
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:10,160
Sisa 21.
You said 21. 21. 21 So yeah,
526
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,760
with a 21, you can't necessarily
hear everything word, you know,
527
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,120
syllable for syllable, but you
can hear, you can pick out words
528
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,400
that they're saying and you can
you can basically kind of
529
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,240
formulate what you think they're
talking about, but not
530
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,240
necessarily the full transcript,
if you will.
531
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,120
You need evidence that this is
in fact Kazdea.
532
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,000
Yeah, that'd be helpful.
Maybe if you could let her
533
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
speak.
That's all we ask.
534
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,360
As I said, I'm not sure if she's
up for speaking, but if you
535
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,160
insist and he kind of leans
forward harder while he still
536
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,040
has his on on his shield on her
ankle and removes the gag from
537
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,920
her mouth.
Kazdea is just going to scream
538
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,720
outright scream.
No words, just scream.
539
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,080
I need everybody to give me an
intimidation check except for
540
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,600
Neros and Kazdea.
Basically you're making this
541
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,080
intimidation check to avoid the
effects of intimidation.
542
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Basically you're making a a
check against intimidation with
543
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,920
this blood curdling scream that
Kazdea is letting loose.
544
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,600
Great.
I dropped my dice.
545
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,560
It's gone.
Right away.
546
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:40,880
I got an 18.
Knife I got.
547
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,320
Who got under a 21?
That's me.
548
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,720
He.
Said this was intimidation.
549
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,680
Yeah, you're making a contested
intimidation check.
550
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,080
I'm going to burn an
inspiration, see if I can get a
551
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,760
better.
Yeah, I only got, I only got 19.
552
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,760
So we might be cooked.
We're cooked.
553
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:11,680
No fudge.
Well then Glave got 22.
554
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:20,400
OK, he will succeed Glave.
So everybody except Glave will
555
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,240
fail the role.
I won't necessarily tell you
556
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,880
what that means yet, but you may
continue.
557
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,080
I would like to cast.
Suggestion at Kasdea.
558
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,800
Oh, I.
Would like to suggest please
559
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,040
explain what's going on here.
Suggestion that requires some
560
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,280
form of.
Manila, It.
561
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Doesn't wear a wisdom saving
pro.
562
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,000
What about verbal or semantic
components?
563
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,080
Verbal yeah, she missing a tone
the.
564
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:55,400
The thing out loud.
Yeah, you.
565
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,640
Suggest a course of activity
limited to a sentence or two and
566
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,800
magically influence the creature
you can see within range that
567
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,440
can hear and understand you.
So basically, yeah, if she just
568
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,760
like does what I said.
Please explain be able to do it
569
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,560
though, right?
It yeah, it does have to be
570
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,640
physically possible and it can't
be harmful to themselves.
571
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,560
So like, throw yourself onto a
spear?
572
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,320
They won't do that.
Got it.
573
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080
And if it's not physically
possible, they can't.
574
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,960
So you so zebby on you would say
something along the lines of
575
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,840
explain what's going on here,
correct?
576
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,160
Yep.
OK, so you would say that out
577
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:40,280
loud looking directly at Kaz
Daya and whoops, I should turn
578
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:46,040
that off Kaz, they give me a
wisdom saving throw.
579
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,200
I would allow you if you wish to
fail the same voluntarily.
580
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,320
Well, I failed anyway.
I got a nap 1.
581
00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:01,080
Oh, inspiration.
With a Nat one, I'm going to say
582
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,840
that she's in so much pain that
she can't even formulate a
583
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:11,840
thought right now.
OK, so Eros.
584
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,680
The command lasts up to 8 hours.
I can wait.
585
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,440
I can wait.
I.
586
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,760
Can wait.
Can we?
587
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,200
Glave is going to lean into the
huddle again and and say we are
588
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,320
having a huddle to determine
what to do next.
589
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,320
Should I attack him?
No.
590
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Please I can appear so I can
pull out my guardian.
591
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,280
Susa doesn't say anything and
she just makes very strong eye
592
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,160
contact.
Like what, bitch?
593
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,440
Mimi is going.
To Mimi is going to pull out her
594
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:59,760
Ledger and is going to write.
Glaive deploys his guardian so
595
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,360
the thing that kind of looks
like a Cape on his back begins
596
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:08,120
to shed scales and form into
what is what is known as a relic
597
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,760
forged guardian.
It's a horsey.
598
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,920
Horsey.
It's a horsey.
599
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,600
Right.
It's it's it formulates kind of
600
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,840
like a steed, correct?
It's like a cat.
601
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:25,200
Yeah, it's more cat like.
Oh, OK.
602
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:34,560
OK, so Eros, what is the favor?
Before we agree to anything,
603
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,800
what is the favor?
Give us an inkling, a hint,
604
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,440
anything.
I'm beginning to bore.
605
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:51,240
A mother trucker.
And I feel like this deployment
606
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,880
of, of what did you call it, a
guardian, I feel.
607
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,200
Like that's just his point.
I feel like that was quite.
608
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Oz hear me out, Hear me out.
Hear me out, hear me out.
609
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,720
Glave is 3 years old.
He does not understand.
610
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,960
He does not understand.
Forgive him.
611
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:16,320
He is simply an A child, OK?
Already in action.
612
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,480
If Miro.
Fires a spell at us.
613
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,280
I would like to cast Glow of
invulnerability over the party.
614
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,160
He is simply a child.
Just give us Cassadaya and we
615
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:34,840
will leave.
Please, if any shred of humanity
616
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,040
is inside of you, as you said
before, please give us back
617
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,240
Cassadaya.
I'll pledge an oath to you right
618
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:44,840
here, right now.
Give her back.
619
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:50,120
Miros holds his hand up out
toward the party, this huddle,
620
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,440
and begins to chant a spell.
And I need everybody to roll
621
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,240
initiative.
Mother of Mary.
622
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,760
We are going to start with
Neros.
623
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,280
He will get a effectively a
surprise action in this
624
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880
instance.
How does that impact?
625
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,040
Yeah, how does the ready to
action go?
626
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:25,680
I would say that the readied
action what what is the spell
627
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,200
that you're casting?
Globe of invulnerability
628
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,360
basically just fizzles all
spells in like a 10 foot circle
629
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,960
from the outside.
Or lower.
630
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,400
OK, so any spell of fifth level
or lower?
631
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,920
Cancel with that.
Barrier can't affect creatures.
632
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,360
OK.
So you're guessing a six, six
633
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,000
level?
Yep.
634
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,920
OK.
As a reaction to him casting a
635
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,760
spell at us.
So that's like the triggering
636
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,760
condition for the ready to
action.
637
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,600
Sure.
OK, so you let's see here.
638
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,480
An immobile, faintly shimmering
barrier springs the distance of
639
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,240
10 foot radius around you and
remains for the duration.
640
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:20,360
I'm good, I can keep going.
OK, the so the.
641
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:23,760
As my action, I'll take my
action.
642
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,920
Let me keep playing up.
I never even said what I was
643
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,120
doing.
I guess so.
644
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:36,400
Nearest hold his hand up, we
rolled initiative and he
645
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,480
finishes his thought on it.
Seems like I'm being attacked
646
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,400
and he kind of making eye
contact with Glaive and he looks
647
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:52,360
down at the guardian and he says
well this isn't fair die and the
648
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,080
guardian immediately fizzles out
of existence.
649
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,040
There's a ninth level power Word
Kill.
650
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,760
Jesus Christ guys, This is why I
said we shouldn't attack him.
651
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,000
And yet.
I warn you now, next time it may
652
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:20,160
not just be a simple familiar
spell that gets destroyed the
653
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:27,320
way it can create another steed
and that'll be his action.
654
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,080
And he won't, he won't move and
he didn't.
655
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,960
He won't do any harm to any
living things.
656
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,280
OK, do you have any other
actions for your turn?
657
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,080
No, OK.
Not on this.
658
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,520
Not on this turn.
Sure.
659
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,560
OK.
We'll move to Mimi.
660
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,760
Mimi ain't never done this
before.
661
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,720
So brace with me, crew.
Mimi is going to drop to both of
662
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:58,800
her knees and plead for
Cassidy's return.
663
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:05,840
She's going to go Dang.
Listen, Eros, this is somebody I
664
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,920
would trade anything for.
I'll take an oath for you.
665
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,840
I'll bleed for you.
I'll kill for you.
666
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,840
Just give her back.
Let's say what?
667
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Let's have you give a persuasion
check nearest to you with
668
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,360
contested persuasion check,
please.
669
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:29,400
It's a very high DCI will say
though I'm actually nearest.
670
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,640
Don't do that.
Don't do contested.
671
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,840
Let's see.
Let's see if she passed the DC
672
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,160
first it.
Can be contested pretty good.
673
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,600
Nuts.
I mean, that's actually not that
674
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,000
bad. 3020 I got.
A 30.
675
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Yeah, holy fuck.
Is a 3020.
676
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,480
He will not be persuaded.
OK.
677
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,320
I appreciate your effort, but
I'd like to hear what the rest
678
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:56,960
have to say.
We.
679
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,800
Mean he's going to hold.
OK.
680
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:03,880
Any anything else?
Yeah, I'll, I'll allow the
681
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:09,560
dropping to your knees and
pleading with nearest
682
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,680
effectively as a speaking
action.
683
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Call it a bone.
Yeah.
684
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:20,000
Action.
And I approve of bleeding.
685
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,120
And Mimi's going to unshoot her
claws and cut herself.
686
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:30,360
She goes, I'll bleed for you.
Give her back Mimi 2.
687
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,800
Got it.
So she will effectively just
688
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,120
unsheath her claws and just.
Are we talking for attention or
689
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,560
effect?
What are we talking here?
690
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,640
Fact.
What do you mean affect your
691
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,280
attention?
What are those two differences?
692
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,160
Don't.
Worry about it.
693
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,800
OK, So you'll just kind of cut
along your arm, just kind of put
694
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:04,320
a gash about we'll say halfway
up your arm and blood will start
695
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,240
spilling from your from your
arm.
696
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,800
Anything else for your turn,
Mimi?
697
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:25,000
Mimi, Mimi, you like, watch as
your pupils narrow.
698
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,840
Like, Mimi's eyes are normally
big and, you know, lovable and
699
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,200
stuff like that, but her pupils
become more cat like as she
700
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,000
stares at Nero's.
OK.
701
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,320
All right then.
You're done.
702
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,800
All right, we will move to
Zebulon.
703
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,000
All right, so I'm going to start
by quickening the spell mislead
704
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,640
from my mask.
So like a clone of myself
705
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,960
appears where I am, it looks
like nothing happens, but I
706
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,640
become invisible and can move
and leave that duplicate there.
707
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,480
And I'm going to approach Kasdea
and try to undo the bindings.
708
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,360
I'm with an invisibility.
Well, it looks like I'm still
709
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:21,320
standing by the party.
I assume that's within 5 feet of
710
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,320
Neros.
First, let me check one thing
711
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,680
real quick.
Zooming Castea takes up a square
712
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,560
and you take up a square.
I'd be 10 feet.
713
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,880
Castea would be 5 feet.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
714
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,440
I'm just making sure that you
could cast the spell inside the
715
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,080
globe of invulnerability.
So OK, Yeah, double checking
716
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,280
that.
So yes, the answer to your
717
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,280
question, Nero says yes, he
would be within five.
718
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Well, he would be within 10 feet
of of you, 5 feet from Castea.
719
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,560
Yeah.
No, I, I'm sorry, I, I, I, I do
720
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,960
have to say that he, he, you are
5 feet from both Kasdea and
721
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Neros.
Effectively Neros and Kasdea if
722
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,000
we're talking is like a grid
form.
723
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,920
They are occupying the same
space.
724
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,120
Kasdea is right up against
Neros.
725
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:23,040
I'll just simply say Nebulon.
I have no eyes yet I see all.
726
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,160
I'll give you an opportunity to
step back if you choose.
727
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,360
Have I already begun on doing
the bindings?
728
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,440
I'll have said that like as
you're approaching.
729
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,200
Yeah, yeah.
We'll say that as you are
730
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,880
approaching it, enter the five
foot space in front of them,
731
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:51,120
that he says what he just said.
They're in the same square.
732
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,400
That makes a lot of the spells
I've got less effective.
733
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,040
Thorn Web.
I think I might just try to use
734
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:05,360
shocking grasp so within melee
range.
735
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,280
OK, give me a melee spell
attack.
736
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,960
We got a 30.
Wow.
737
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,720
Yeah, I'm impressed.
Yeah.
738
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:24,360
Hits OK give me, give me damage
all.
739
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,800
Right, I think.
Are we in like the third bracket
740
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,640
of damage now?
3D8.
741
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,240
Are you casting that at third
level?
742
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:44,120
It's a can trip and I am like
12th level.
743
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,880
Yeah, so at 11 you get an extra
5 and 11.
744
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,640
One of them wasn't 8.
Just a moment.
745
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,520
Caste.
What's your Max HP?
746
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,320
87.
All right, I did 24 lightning
747
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:12,440
damage to Neros and then I would
back up just like 5 feet or
748
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,360
whatever after having zapped
him.
749
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,200
It's going to be Neros and caste
because they're going to find
750
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,560
the same space.
So how much damage?
751
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,080
Not how shocking grasp works
though.
752
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,360
Yeah, this is like a single
target spell.
753
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,960
Yeah, he literally touches like
my arm or my shoulder.
754
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,440
It doesn't.
Target retreat.
755
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:31,800
OK.
And then it wraps him and
756
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,080
disables his reaction, so I'm
going to back away.
757
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,680
OK, how much damage was it
again?
758
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:43,240
24 OK.
All right, so does that also
759
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,480
give away your position now that
you are attacking?
760
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,080
Oh yeah, the casting a spell
does it.
761
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,000
OK, yeah, but so I mean, I
already saw him.
762
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,520
Well, I mean fair, but just for
yes.
763
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,400
Yeah, he told me.
Narration person.
764
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,920
Yeah, yeah.
So as you go to cast mislead,
765
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:05,160
quickened physical embodiment of
yourself appears basically right
766
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,760
where you were.
You go invisible, sneak around
767
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,800
to right in front of Kasdea and
Neros, and as you go to touch
768
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,320
his we'll say his shoulder and
cast Shocking grasp.
769
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:20,720
You appear right in front of
Neros and Kasdea and let loose
770
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:27,240
the lightning damage AKA Emperor
Palpatine style.
771
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,600
Anything else for you that'll?
Be it.
772
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:39,200
All right.
We will then move to OSISA, so
773
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,040
again, let's see.
So you've just seen Zebulon, who
774
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,760
you thought was right behind
you, now appear right in front
775
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,840
of Neros and Kasdea and deal
damage to Neros.
776
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,120
Kasdea and Neros got it.
No, just just Neros.
777
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,920
OK, let me just double check
something real quick.
778
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:06,840
Yeah, Point of order with
shocking grasp, and this is I
779
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,440
guess kind of mechanical
question from a new DM.
780
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,320
If you catch shocking graphs on
a target target that is touching
781
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,680
another target, do they get
zapped as well?
782
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:24,280
No, it's got video game physics.
OK, going to say yeah, I I
783
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,320
wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
784
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,240
Yeah, not rules is written, but
if you want to narrate it as
785
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:31,480
such.
Yeah, I do want to.
786
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640
Yeah, I do.
I do want to have a bit of
787
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120
consequence to your actions,
Zebulon, and I'm going to make
788
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Kasdea take What's the damage
dice for the spell that you just
789
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,720
cast?
3D8. 3D eight, I'm just going to
790
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:51,120
say 1D8, and from the transfer
it'll do 7 lightning damage to
791
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:59,200
Kasdea.
So caste and not on top of you
792
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,640
having a shield still in your
ankle, effectively.
793
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:10,600
Now you just got zapped, so you
let out another guttural scream.
794
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:16,920
Mimi 3.
All right, then we'll move to
795
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,600
Osisa.
OK.
796
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:28,400
All right, so I'm going to cast
a spell and would a 27 hit
797
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Neros?
Well, what are you casting?
798
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:40,400
I am casting guiding bolt.
Counterspell.
799
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,120
You do not have.
Anybody counter that
800
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,280
counterspell?
Neros, you do not have a
801
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,200
reaction.
I zapped you.
802
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,640
Oh, I lose it completely.
Not just for your retreat.
803
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,000
Yeah, you lose it till the start
of your next turn.
804
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:02,080
Oh yeah, OK, cool.
So I would assume then that that
805
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:09,560
hits. 27, Yeah, OK.
So that'll be a bolt of light of
806
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,400
radiant damage and that's going
to be 8 D 6.
807
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,800
So that'll be 27 points of
radiant damage.
808
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,560
And I've got two of those are
sixes.
809
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,920
So do you want me to re roll and
add that on?
810
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:33,360
Yep.
OK, 1-2 more rolls on that.
811
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:45,040
OK, so that'll be a total of 32
points of radiant damage and I'm
812
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,000
going to basically aim it right
for neurosis.
813
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:53,240
Face OK, so you'll let loose
this guiding bolt of radiant
814
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:56,800
damage, and Nero said to come
right down on you on the face
815
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,280
and just feel like a pretty
moderate sunburn.
816
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,240
Cast Daya.
You will take 14 points of
817
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:07,800
damage from the effect.
Why would why would she take?
818
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,680
Because he's touching her and
what I'm what I'm.
819
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,120
Basically, I think that doesn't
work that way, but it's your
820
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,280
call Lightning is different,
right?
821
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,720
That's.
Radiant damage.
822
00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:21,000
That's true, basically.
Upon the Spirit.
823
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:24,240
Yeah, basically what I'm trying
to sow at this point is that
824
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,440
damage that's taken by Neros is
somewhat felt by Cazde as well.
825
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,160
So I'll tell you what, I'll have
that do 7 damage.
826
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:35,240
That's that's the point I'm
trying to get across here.
827
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:36,240
Got it.
OK.
828
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,320
Would that also apply then
healing as well?
829
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,080
Quick question.
Guess we'll find out.
830
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,240
Can we if we were actually?
Is that meta?
831
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,640
If I ask that question, I.
Don't even ask that question.
832
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,640
Whether or not you use the
answer makes it meta.
833
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,800
Yeah, right.
Was separating her from Nero's
834
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,680
be a good idea as Oh yeah
sounds?
835
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,440
Like a no brain, you can't know
that.
836
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,040
Yeah, that's unfortunately,
yeah.
837
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,360
That would be meta gaming, yeah.
OK, not bad.
838
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:07,000
Who should probably ask?
Oh yes, you think so?
839
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,200
Is what it sounds like.
Yeah, Yeah, it sounds.
840
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,280
It sounds like me.
We think that's a great idea.
841
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Right.
I will say though, with with the
842
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,720
guiding bolt, it you know, it
comes and hits Nero's directly
843
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:25,600
in the face and as the kind of
like poof of smoke or whatever
844
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,240
kind of fades, he's just
smiling.
845
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,680
It looks like it dealt some
damage, but not as much as you
846
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:35,880
would have expected.
We forgot he's a God, guys.
847
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,280
And how far?
He's like, what, 30 feet away,
848
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,520
you said?
If you did not move, he's 20.
849
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:46,120
What did I say?
25 feet Away, 20252025.
850
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,680
So then can I run up to him and
her?
851
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,520
Yeah, you still have your
movement.
852
00:57:54,880 --> 00:58:01,040
OK, so yeah, I'm going to run up
as close as I can get and
853
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,360
that'll probably be it for
unless he's got a reactionary.
854
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,120
He doesn't.
He doesn't have a reaction to
855
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,760
his turn, I was going to say.
Yeah, OK.
856
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,320
No, but I I'd like to use a
legendary reaction now.
857
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,880
OK, I'm sorry.
A legendary action.
858
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:23,200
I'll firm my grip on Kazaa's
shoulder and I will at the end
859
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:28,680
of Osis's turn using my Echo
Step, and I'll teleport directly
860
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,120
behind Glave 30 up to 30 feet to
an unoccupied space that I can
861
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:45,480
see, and I will cast.
You know what?
862
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,400
I won't cast anything.
I'll just teleport with Castea
863
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,680
and we both appear right there.
OK.
864
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,480
All right.
Then we will move to Glaive.
865
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,280
Glaive's turn, he's going to
turn around.
866
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:14,040
You killed my guardian.
I don't understand the
867
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,920
reasoning, but you can die for
it.
868
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,320
So then he will.
One action he's going to, he's
869
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:32,320
going to go full, full swing.
So he'll take two attacks.
870
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:45,440
The first one is a 2024, so that
hits.
871
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:53,320
OK.
Second one is a 14 doesn't hit
872
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,240
and then he'll use his bonus
action to use the pommel hit
873
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,880
because of pull arm master.
OK.
874
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,560
That's another 24, so that hits
also.
875
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:13,680
OK, so one regular, one bonus
action hit.
876
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,560
Now, were those attacks from a
magical weapon?
877
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,360
Oh, yes, OK.
Just making sure, OK.
878
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:30,280
Very, very magical.
He will however on SO do you
879
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,840
want me to finish the full round
or do damage and stuff as I go?
880
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,240
You can do it as you go.
I mean, you're not in any danger
881
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:50,280
of killing neuros.
So he's going to do OK, So what
882
01:00:50,280 --> 01:01:09,120
is my damage here?
1D10. 34 exploding oh man I need
883
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:19,270
a calculator that's going to be
oh wait I have to I'm going to
884
01:01:19,270 --> 01:01:30,240
spend 2 spell slots.
Also one of 4th level and one of
885
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:31,160
third level.
OK.
886
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,080
And I'm going to define smite
both of those.
887
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:41,160
OK.
That's the damage.
888
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:46,560
I might define smite now.
Radiant damage, I know that.
889
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,080
It is radiant divine smite.
Here we go.
890
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:57,600
I hit creature 2D8 plus an extra
D8 for each spell that is first
891
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,960
or higher than first.
So 2 second thirds, 48 for one,
892
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:14,500
5D-8 for the other.
OK, that's going to be halved.
893
01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:30,860
So on that he takes 71 damage.
OK, that's how much he takes.
894
01:02:31,300 --> 01:02:37,540
And then action search.
OK, I'll make two more attacks.
895
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,720
One hits, one doesn't.
He'll divine smite that as well.
896
01:02:44,720 --> 01:03:03,680
At a Level 3
man damage, that's another 29
897
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,000
damage.
OK, that's all he's got.
898
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,560
So with all that damage, Neros
is starting to look a bit.
899
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:20,600
Warren will say damage wise, but
not not too much.
900
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,120
I mean, he did just take about
100 points of damage, but he's
901
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:30,400
still he's still standing.
So, OK, so anything else for
902
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,240
Glaive?
No.
903
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:37,400
OK, we will move to Kaz Daya but
she can't really do anything.
904
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,600
So I mean, you can take a
speaking action if you wish, but
905
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:53,680
that would be really about it.
She's going to do is scream and
906
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,080
thrash.
You got it.
907
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:56,880
Like she's trying to get free.
Sure.
908
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,840
As you begin to thrash, the
chains begin to start slicing up
909
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,800
your arms a bit and you begin to
bleed a bit more.
910
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,160
That's it.
OK, then we'll move back to
911
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:31,600
Neros.
All right, Neros is going to.
912
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:43,720
He's going to cast a spell.
OK, but you briefly stop the
913
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,560
flow of time for everyone but
yourself.
914
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:53,480
No time passes for other
creatures while you take three
915
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,480
turns in a row during which you
can use action and move as
916
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,840
normal.
It ends if one of the actions
917
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,720
you use during this period, or
any effect or any effects that
918
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,080
you create during this period
effects a creature other than
919
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,360
you or an object being worn or
carried by someone other than
920
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,120
you.
In addition, the spell ends if
921
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,280
you move to a place more than
1000 feet from the location you
922
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:21,420
cast it.
What's the name of the spell
923
01:05:21,420 --> 01:05:23,620
you're casting again?
I'm spell good.
924
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:24,700
Stuff.
That's what I thought.
925
01:05:24,700 --> 01:05:27,980
OK, you take three turns
probably.
926
01:05:27,980 --> 01:05:29,620
Back to full health.
In a row.
927
01:05:30,020 --> 01:05:33,660
Yeah, back to full health.
And he's probably going to,
928
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:37,060
like, casually step on somebody
and just, like, snap the neck,
929
01:05:38,260 --> 01:05:43,840
obviously, OK.
So you will cast that and you'll
930
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,640
take your next three turns.
It's three turns.
931
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,320
In addition to this current
turns, correct?
932
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,160
Yeah, three additional turns,
OK.
933
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,280
All right, so when you.
Attack that ends it.
934
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,920
If I do anything to even like
manipulate anything that isn't
935
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,200
me basically.
Not true.
936
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:06,800
So wait.
Does new.
937
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,440
Spells Level 9 spell slot.
What a jerk.
938
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,680
Oh yes.
What a.
939
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,520
What a jerk.
What a jerk.
940
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,240
So with his, with his speaking
action for the the first turn or
941
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:37,440
this turn, he'll just kind of go
into where, where, where was I?
942
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:42,640
And he's going to spend the rest
of this turn and then all but
943
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:47,320
one of the three.
So the next two turns, and he'll
944
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:53,040
just kind of call out, where was
I before I was rudely threatened
945
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,600
and interrupted.
So you asked what the favor
946
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:02,800
might be.
I can share that information.
947
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,200
Can we hear him?
Hello.
948
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,200
Yes.
You still hear him?
949
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,240
No.
OK, yes.
950
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,360
Now I will say at the end of the
second turn of you, how many
951
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,440
turns do you say you were using
to to do this?
952
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,080
The rest of this turn that I had
and then two additional turns
953
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,600
and then.
So I'll have one turn left.
954
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:35,200
OK, well combat will end after
the second full round of nobody
955
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:42,920
taking any sort of wounds.
I mean, technically right now
956
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,200
she's frozen.
Oh yeah, that's true.
957
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:48,480
So.
Somebody.
958
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:50,760
Somebody will take damage, don't
worry.
959
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:58,080
OK.
I want a man to tell the truth,
960
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,280
that's all.
Not a confession shaped for
961
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,520
mercy.
Not a story polished for
962
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,600
history.
The pure and honest truth spoken
963
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:16,800
where it cannot be walked back.
He must say what he did, who he
964
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:26,040
broke, and why he chose it.
He must finish speaking before
965
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:33,319
anything else happens to him.
I expect you're wondering who
966
01:08:33,319 --> 01:08:38,040
this person is.
You already know the type.
967
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,040
It's the kind of man other
people keep rewriting so that
968
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:53,000
they can live with themselves.
Call him a commander, a patron,
969
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:58,439
a Saint of convenient memory.
I want him heard as he is, not
970
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,240
as the Syndicate or the Dominion
or the Hollowed Host like him to
971
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,160
be.
You will not kill him before he
972
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,880
speaks.
You will not edit what he
973
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:11,960
speaks.
You will not spare him the
974
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:17,479
weight of being heard.
This is not punishment, this is
975
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:21,279
exposure.
If he lies, you press.
976
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:26,439
If he falters, you wait.
You do not rescue him from
977
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:32,120
himself when he is done, when he
has put his own story on the
978
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:37,040
table where anyone can see it,
Then you may do whatever your
979
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:51,939
conscience demands in return.
She leaves this tower alive only
980
01:09:51,939 --> 01:09:56,780
after this favor has been
fulfilled.
981
01:09:56,940 --> 01:10:01,380
I will release her from her
chains, from my mark.
982
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:06,000
She'll walk back to you under
her own power and you get to
983
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
call that a rescue if it helps
you sleep.
984
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,560
He looks Kaz damn and back at
you if you refuse.
985
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,040
If you twist this into another
story where someone else is to
986
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:22,000
blame for your inaction.
And as she says that near us,
987
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,240
kind of waves his hand just a
bit and the chains begin
988
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:33,480
tightening around Kaz.
Daya, then she remains exactly
989
01:10:33,480 --> 01:10:36,960
where she chose to stand, and
you will have to live with the
990
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:41,520
knowledge that you walked away
from her when the favor was
991
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,120
honest and the price was only
your comfort.
992
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:52,360
So if you want her returned, how
badly enough to make one man
993
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:57,280
tell the truth.
And then into his final, his
994
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:06,200
final turn, at the end of of his
turn, he'll take an additional
995
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:11,720
legendary action.
Let me get it here.
996
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,320
So nearest targets, one creature
he can see within 60 feet.
997
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:23,320
The target must succeed on ADC
Intelligence, an intelligence
998
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:29,400
saving throw.
So he's targeting Glaive
999
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,920
Spencer.
Does anybody else want to roll
1000
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:38,800
an intelligence safer glave?
His +2 intelligence is plus. 7 +
1001
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:44,000
7 intelligent save.
He rolled A7, so 14.
1002
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,400
Yeah, no, he failed.
So then he's going to get hit
1003
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:57,120
with a memory lash, which does.
Wouldn't his time stop be stop
1004
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:58,800
as soon as he did something to
Kezdea?
1005
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:07,320
Yep, sure would.
Still my turn then, correct.
1006
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,480
It's just the rest of the turns
I've already used.
1007
01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:14,000
So I would like if I used it
after like the first turn, then
1008
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,960
yeah, it would have resumed as
normal.
1009
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:33,390
So Blaves going to take 28
points of damage, psychic
1010
01:12:33,390 --> 01:12:43,120
damage, and then at the start of
his next turn, he'll hold up his
1011
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:51,040
hand to the group and to Glaive
and and just say just don't
1012
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:57,440
forget how easy this was for me.
But you you can die and Glaive
1013
01:12:57,440 --> 01:13:02,440
dies.
Oh my God, that can't be right.
1014
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,280
What the fuck no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1015
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:12,160
Spencer, let me move.
Let me do anything, Please,
1016
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:13,800
Lord.
Please, he's too young.
1017
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,600
Come.
On I, I got to revivify.
1018
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,760
Come on.
He'll finish, he'll finish his
1019
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:26,840
turn with a he'll he'll reach
into his larger pouch, pull out
1020
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:30,440
a smaller one, and he'll throw
it O sisa to your feet.
1021
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,080
And a handful of diamonds fall
out.
1022
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,800
And he says, I can do this all
day.
1023
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:43,000
My intention isn't to kill, but
if I'm driven to it, feel free
1024
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:52,240
to revive them.
Neros, these firms seem
1025
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:58,040
generous, amenable even.
Who is this person that you want
1026
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,120
us to convince to speak the
truth?
1027
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:12,320
I understand the concern, but I
I will try to impress on you the
1028
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:23,400
urgency of this happening.
While it may seem like not
1029
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:30,320
enough, in exchange for her life
and her return, I promise you it
1030
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:36,400
is.
The objective is to force
1031
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:42,800
Magistrate Elvis Corin to give
his complete, voluntary and
1032
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:49,680
public testimony of his crimes.
The testimony must meet all
1033
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:54,080
conditions below.
If any condition fails, this
1034
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:59,040
favor fails.
Corin must openly admit to his
1035
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,480
actions.
Not implications, no
1036
01:15:01,480 --> 01:15:05,880
justifications, clear statements
of what he ordered and allowed.
1037
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,080
I think I'll pause.
I'm going to pause here to see
1038
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,960
if anyone wants to take actions
or if or if combat ends.
1039
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:17,880
Yeah.
So that'll be into your turn,
1040
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:24,680
then we'll move to Mimi.
That's really interesting.
1041
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:41,240
So actually don't know what Mimi
would do in this situation.
1042
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,040
You were already basically
groveling, so I.
1043
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,760
Think.
Saying yes, I mean, basically is
1044
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:56,160
what I mean, basically, yeah.
Mimi is going to, instead of
1045
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,680
standing straight up, she stands
on all fours and she's going to
1046
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,840
whip around a Zebulon and
Taylor's going to start lashing
1047
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:08,040
and she's going to go.
We e-mail a message, the General
1048
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:13,280
right the fuck now or I eat you.
I'm not kidding.
1049
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,360
No more fun time, no more jokes.
This guy needs to tell the
1050
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,280
truth.
Magistrate Elvis.
1051
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:25,920
Corin needs to speak his truth
so we can get our friend back.
1052
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,120
Well, you don't need to threaten
me.
1053
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:36,760
I'm not threatening you, trust.
If I wanted to eat you, I would
1054
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:45,280
have done so by now, however.
I employee I can't really you
1055
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,520
see how well it worked out for
your friend Glaive.
1056
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,000
I can't really write anything
right now, Zebulon, so I'm going
1057
01:16:52,000 --> 01:17:02,840
to need you or Sisa to do it.
We'll get the details in a pad
1058
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:10,200
over the where Glaive's body is,
and it's going to lay down next
1059
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,600
to him.
And like, you know how if a cat
1060
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,440
lays down on their side and it's
like the paws out in the front?
1061
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,400
Yeah, Their tail lashing.
That's what Mimi looks like
1062
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:19,920
right now.
OK.
1063
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:27,760
We'll move to Zambian.
Yeah, I guess at this point I'm
1064
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,600
feeling like we're out of
combat.
1065
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:35,280
I'm ready to make a deal.
It sounds like he doesn't want
1066
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:40,520
anything too nefarious.
As far as I can tell, telling
1067
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:48,120
the truth aligns with my morals.
Does anybody else here can want
1068
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:53,200
to continue the fight?
Or do we want to talk about
1069
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:59,120
this?
I'm going to say that unless
1070
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,480
anybody has any objections, you
guys will drop out of combat.
1071
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:08,800
O Sisa would like to send him to
the gods for judgement, but she
1072
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,600
is holding back for the time
being.
1073
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,560
OK.
I I don't know if I wait.
1074
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:20,400
Pause.
As one final action then near us
1075
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:27,760
is going to cast Mass Heal on
everybody but glave OK.
1076
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,480
OK.
You really don't like yourself
1077
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,520
on that?
You really don't like yourself?
1078
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:36,400
Do.
You.
1079
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,040
Yeah.
So the audio people listening
1080
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,480
just just remember Jesse killed
Jesse so it's fine.
1081
01:18:46,440 --> 01:18:48,120
Wait, did anybody else take
damage even?
1082
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:53,160
Oh yeah, you first of all.
Oh yeah, and I I cast it on
1083
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:59,400
Kasbeh also, yeah.
All right then.
1084
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:00,680
Yep, you guys are.
You ready?
1085
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,480
Are you ready for the?
Magistrate.
1086
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,520
Yeah.
I'm curious, Don.
1087
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,840
I'm sure you won't tell us up
front, but I would love to know
1088
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,760
how this benefits you.
What is this magistrate done
1089
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:23,600
that concerns Nero's the God?
Well, let's discuss scope.
1090
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:33,640
The testimony needs to include
admission to forced relocations
1091
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,640
carried out under false
emergency orders.
1092
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,720
His testimony must include the
names that were removed from the
1093
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:51,400
Dominion records, the sentences
carried out without a trial, the
1094
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:56,080
reason he believed that it was
acceptable to function in this
1095
01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:01,240
way.
The testimony itself must be
1096
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:09,440
heard by the victims or their
representatives, members of the
1097
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:16,760
Unwritten acting as witness
scribes of ash, at least one
1098
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:22,080
neutral third party.
This testimony must be recorded
1099
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,440
in a form meant to last only
long enough to be used.
1100
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:30,000
It is not scripture, it is
scaffolding.
1101
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:36,040
And you must not kill him before
the testimony is complete.
1102
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:42,120
However, once you have
accomplished all of this, as
1103
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:46,360
I've said previously, let your
conscience dictate what to do
1104
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:55,040
with him next.
I will be waiting at the Ash
1105
01:20:55,040 --> 01:21:04,880
Archive, but I will say don't
wait too long.
1106
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,960
I have eyes, ears, and thoughts
all around.
1107
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:19,440
And we, The Unwritten will
continue to monitor your
1108
01:21:19,440 --> 01:21:25,920
progress.
And you swear all you seek is
1109
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,280
the truth.
All I seek is the truth.
1110
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:35,440
This has always been my mission,
to bring to light the people,
1111
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:38,400
the representatives that have
used memory for currency, for
1112
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:48,080
pain, for power, those that have
edited the archives to fit their
1113
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:57,320
directives.
Memory is not our memory exists
1114
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:02,920
to be freely experienced and
freely forgotten as it is not
1115
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:08,160
modified.
And he is a clear example of how
1116
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,800
the syndicate to how the
Dominion, how the hallowed host
1117
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:19,280
only works to their own benefit
with no care for others.
1118
01:22:22,440 --> 01:22:27,360
This will help me stop that.
All right, I have no objection
1119
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,480
to these terms.
Does the rest of the group have
1120
01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:36,040
any concerns?
No concerns.
1121
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,200
When you're ready.
To.
1122
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,520
When you're ready to communicate
your progress, your success or
1123
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,120
failure, find one of the
unwritten.
1124
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,240
They can point you to the Ash
archive.
1125
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,840
I'll be waiting.
He.
1126
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,200
Snaps his fingers and he's gone
with Kasdea.
1127
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,720
With Kasdea.
With Kasdea, why can't we keep
1128
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:03,560
her?
I don't know.
1129
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:18,760
All right, looks like we got
some torturing to do, crew.
1130
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,880
As you guys are gathering your
things.
1131
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,520
That's a good idea.
As you all are gathering your
1132
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:31,280
things, you turn to kind of
leave the the watchtower and in
1133
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,600
the doorway out between just
just right where the door kind
1134
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:40,120
of starts the what's it called
the entryway.
1135
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,080
The threshold, yeah.
Threshold.
1136
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:47,320
But where the threshold is, you
see Kasdea laying on the
1137
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:51,920
threshold, half in the snow,
surrounded in kind of a bloody
1138
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,960
pool, and in all of your mind
simultaneously.
1139
01:23:54,960 --> 01:24:00,080
You hear I can take her back at
any moment.
1140
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:10,520
Don't disappoint me.
God damn.
1141
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:16,640
So she's badly injured very
slightly.
1142
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,880
Rushing forward.
Yeah, I mean, she's the.
1143
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:24,040
Mask The mask heel that was that
was cast on her is took effect
1144
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:28,800
and as she returns now she is
far worse than when she left.
1145
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:42,600
OK crap so Glaive is dead and
and I I I'm going straight for
1146
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,080
Cazadea.
She's still alive.
1147
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:47,160
I'm going to go for her first
and then Glave next have.
1148
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:50,920
Been less than a minute or
whatever.
1149
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:51,840
Well.
Unless.
1150
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,800
Yeah, can I bring Glave back?
Glave is dead, yeah.
1151
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,440
Glave.
Well, I mean, remember if it's
1152
01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:00,680
been within a minute.
Right, it's it has been more
1153
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:02,440
than a minute, unfortunately.
OK, so.
1154
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,120
Glave is just.
Well, there, there still is a
1155
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:06,760
there still is a pouch of
diamonds.
1156
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,400
Yeah, but I can only revivify.
Has to be done within one
1157
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,520
minute.
Right, but there's clerics all
1158
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,600
over the world that can cast
things like True Resurrection,
1159
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:23,280
it just requires a diamond.
Jesus Christ, how are we going
1160
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,320
to carry his big ass body across
the world?
1161
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:29,000
The logistics, The logistics are
not letting up.
1162
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:34,120
In that case, I'm going straight
to Cassadea.
1163
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,160
And Cassadea, your wounds.
OK?
1164
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,640
Yeah, Mimi's going to prop
Cassadea up, so I'll see if I
1165
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,880
can treat her better.
As you propose, as you prop
1166
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:50,920
Cassadea up, she screams at the
top of her lungs.
1167
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,640
How?
Badly hurt is.
1168
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:59,720
She, she, she's very, very hurt.
Broken bones, multiple broken
1169
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:05,920
bones, blood, just kind of just
she's drenched in blood.
1170
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:11,240
And also I need everybody that
is currently surrounding Kasdea
1171
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:18,840
to give me a history check.
Oh, before or after the history?
1172
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,560
It honestly won't matter, OK?
Cool.
1173
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:27,280
I've.
History, History.
1174
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,480
That guiding bolt fucked me up.
Yeah, did.
1175
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,800
Holy shit.
Dirty 20.
1176
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,320
Oh.
Sisa was mad is a dirty 20.
1177
01:26:36,440 --> 01:26:40,320
I got a 1717 Yeah O sisa.
Did I hear Zebulon say 5?
1178
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,760
Yes.
He did OK everybody except
1179
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:51,080
Zebulon.
We will say that O Sisa and Mimi
1180
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:55,680
are cover or their surrounding
caste to the point where Sebelon
1181
01:26:55,680 --> 01:27:00,040
you can't make anything out from
where you were because you, I
1182
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,800
mean, unless you took a few
steps after after combat, you're
1183
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,920
still kind of about 1520 feet
away from the door.
1184
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,200
So we'll say that they're
surrounding caste to the point
1185
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,480
where you can't really see
anything but Osisa and Mimi.
1186
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:21,240
You noticed that Castea looks
different than how you remember.
1187
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:33,960
And we're talking, we are
talking from what she's wearing.
1188
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:38,880
She what from what she's wearing
to she's a bit, her skin's a bit
1189
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:44,560
darker than you remember.
She doesn't have the same gold
1190
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:48,720
regalness that she wants.
Help.
1191
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:58,840
She now appears more in a black
dress of sorts, almost fish,
1192
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:05,240
almost like fishnet stockings,
almost up past her thighs, and
1193
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:12,280
her hair is now braided and more
Gray than the white that it used
1194
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:12,760
to be.
I.
1195
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,840
Want to make sure this is her?
Yeah. 1.
1196
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,720
Second, can I sniff her?
Perception or investigation?
1197
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,520
You can give me investigation, I
guess, Mimi, you can roll for
1198
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:30,920
sniff or insight.
Maybe.
1199
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:33,080
Yeah, that's, that's a better
one.
1200
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:38,440
Give me an insight, Mimi.
As far as your role is
1201
01:28:38,440 --> 01:28:43,160
concerned, you would have.
Advanced.
1202
01:28:43,480 --> 01:28:46,280
For sure with advantage.
Yeah, yeah, Perception with
1203
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,760
advantage based on how you are
currently.
1204
01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:58,000
OK. 19 OK on then we'd say it.
Oh, dirty 20.
1205
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,000
OK, so is.
It dirty 20.
1206
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:06,720
With OCS 19 and Mimi's Dirty 20,
you both based on OCSA using
1207
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:10,000
your eyes and brain and Mimi
using your nose.
1208
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,960
This is this, This is this is
Kasdea OK?
1209
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:23,840
I'm going to mask Cure Wounds
or, or wait, sorry, Cure wounds
1210
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,760
on her.
Sure.
1211
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,320
And this is going to be at sixth
level.
1212
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:35,640
OK, so we'll say that currently
Kasdea is on one HP.
1213
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,040
How?
How much healing do you get
1214
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:49,040
casting at six level?
Sorry, that would be 70 points
1215
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,400
of healing.
We'll say that you do Max
1216
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,640
healing for that because you are
out of combat.
1217
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:02,120
Oh hey quick question, sure this
is weird but this guest have
1218
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:05,240
like strangles of hair like over
her face.
1219
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:07,120
This is something that my cat
does.
1220
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:14,400
Yeah, Castaia's hair is a mess,
almost saturated in blood.
1221
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:19,680
Mimi's going to slick back her
hair with her tongue out of her
1222
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,640
face.
My cat does this to me, so
1223
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:30,560
Mimi's doing it to Cassadia.
OK, yeah, I mean, you can prop
1224
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:36,360
her hair up with your tongue.
OK, let's just say she smoothes
1225
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,000
it back with her hand.
How about that?
1226
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:39,280
That's better.
That works.
1227
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:43,280
Better, all right.
And then Cassadia.
1228
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:47,040
Congestion again.
I mean, it's still active, I
1229
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,720
would think so, yeah.
I guess it's 8 hours.
1230
01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:54,600
So.
I hope you're feeling better.
1231
01:30:54,600 --> 01:31:00,080
Can you help us understand
what's going on here more or?
1232
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,400
Less like.
Reaffirming the same spell.
1233
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:08,480
What happened?
He hurt me.
1234
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,800
I went for for Orion and he hurt
me.
1235
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:27,480
What did he do?
You saw, Were you not watching?
1236
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,880
You.
You didn't think I was real.
1237
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:38,240
You, you didn't think it was me?
I didn't think Nero's was
1238
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:41,600
telling us the truth.
We were there to help you the
1239
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,720
whole time though.
Truth is about perspective.
1240
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:51,480
Never seen Orion though, he
wasn't here so I don't
1241
01:31:51,480 --> 01:31:59,240
understand what happened.
Is the way to see Orion.
1242
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:08,360
No, no, no.
Is he OK?
1243
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:16,280
Yes.
She kind of breathes a sigh of
1244
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,760
relief.
Like, OK, all right, at least
1245
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,520
Orion's OK, and now you're
better.
1246
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,640
We need to see if we can find
someone to bring back Glave,
1247
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:33,720
yes.
Yes, I'm, I'm OK, I'm, I'm OK.
1248
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:37,120
She's going to kind of stand up
on wobbly legs.
1249
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,880
Amy's got a sister and I'll wrap
her up in a gentle hug and just
1250
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:43,320
go.
I missed you.
1251
01:32:45,480 --> 01:32:49,760
I missed you too.
All right, so.
1252
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,040
It's a great time.
Yes, it is.
1253
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:54,480
That's a very good idea.
Let's take a quick.
1254
01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:56,000
Break.
OK, I haven't pee so bad.
1255
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,720
Let's take a quick pee break and
we will come back.
1256
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,880
We'll be right back with more if
grit happens.
1257
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:08,440
Ever Con 2026 is almost here and

Welcome back to Crit Habits here
1289
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,000
on Spotify, iTunes,
player.fmpoddirectory.com,
1290
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,120
citro.com,
tuneinradioiheartradio.com,
1291
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:20,280
SiriusXM Radio, and pandora.com.
We are back to kind of deal with
1292
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,400
the aftermath of the
confrontation with Neros.
1293
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:29,040
So we last left our party having
healed Kasdea.
1294
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:32,520
She's still pretty out of it
still.
1295
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:38,080
You know, she may be good on HP,
but she's still got effects from
1296
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,520
the damage that she's been
inflicted.
1297
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:47,640
So you are aware kind of
generally what you need to do.
1298
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:48,920
So what would you like to do
from there?
1299
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,640
At this point, I think kind of
Assisa would kind of get up the
1300
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:58,880
group and be like, I think we
need to get back to syndicate
1301
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:03,920
headquarters and we should
probably discuss the unwritten,
1302
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:07,200
whoever they are, with the
leadership.
1303
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,560
I mean, we're going to need to
find the magistrate and we don't
1304
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:17,840
want Nero's taking Kasdia back.
Before we return to base, I
1305
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:21,960
think we should talk about, do
we discuss with the syndicate
1306
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:28,920
whether or not we've been given
this mission, you mentioned the
1307
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,040
magistrate, or do we keep that
between the?
1308
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:37,240
Groups, we keep that ourselves.
They don't need to know.
1309
01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,440
I don't even know if that street
is part of the syndicate.
1310
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:48,440
Nero's never said anything about
keeping the secret, just that he
1311
01:36:48,440 --> 01:36:55,320
wanted us to do it.
I know, but if we tell them this
1312
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,440
information and state they're
with the magistrate, they're
1313
01:36:59,440 --> 01:37:03,960
going to try to silence us.
Yeah, exactly.
1314
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:06,160
Being open about it might make
our job harder.
1315
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,880
True.
Yeah.
1316
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:16,040
I think we should keep it quiet
for.
1317
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:21,640
The moment.
OK, but at least at least we
1318
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:26,400
need to get information about
who the magistrate is, where he
1319
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:30,520
is, and we should talk about the
unwritten with them if nothing
1320
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,520
else.
Absolutely, yes, I agree with
1321
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:38,040
that.
Castea, do you think you're out
1322
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:40,400
for traveling?
Written took pasadayo.
1323
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:46,800
I suppose so.
Why?
1324
01:37:47,480 --> 01:37:50,360
Why wouldn't I be?
Let's go.
1325
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:55,520
Let's get this over with.
All right.
1326
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,240
Hop on my.
Back, let's roll.
1327
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,400
What about glave?
All right, we're hitting the
1328
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:05,480
road, Jack.
Oh fuck.
1329
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,360
I'm going to stuff Glaive's body
into my bag of holding.
1330
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,280
Well, Jesus.
And then hop on Mimi's back.
1331
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,200
Piggyback.
The disrespect.
1332
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:19,240
Yeah, let's go.
He's.
1333
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,960
Like get in the bag, get in the
bag.
1334
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,920
He's a sweetie, a little 3 year
old back kind of man and.
1335
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,160
Needs.
A 43.
1336
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:37,760
Year old kind of man, Jesus.
Before Zebulon puts Glaive in
1337
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:41,560
his bag of holding, caste is
going to kind of like walk over
1338
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,440
and close his eyes, kind of kiss
his forehead and then go
1339
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:52,240
continue.
Oh.
1340
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,720
So yeah.
I think finding a cleric for
1341
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,560
Glaive is the first order
sexually.
1342
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,440
Let's wake our friend up.
Yeah, let's find a cleric.
1343
01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,440
Of my powers.
To the church.
1344
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:13,680
OK, so you're returning to
Syndicate headquarters?
1345
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,320
Or OC says.
Church we're returning back to
1346
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,440
like.
A true resurrection.
1347
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:28,240
Maybe we try to find a temple of
Shante and see if we can find a
1348
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,320
cleric who might be able to do
this.
1349
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,840
Bring him back.
We should grab the diamonds
1350
01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:35,080
while we're at it for.
Sure.
1351
01:39:36,440 --> 01:39:39,920
But maybe inspect them too.
Sure, he didn't sneak anything
1352
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,400
in there.
Sure, you can.
1353
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:48,200
Go ahead and give me an
inspection check, investigation
1354
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:54,800
check 20. 6.
There are three diamonds in this
1355
01:39:54,800 --> 01:40:01,280
pouch, each worth the.
Basically you would know as a as
1356
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,680
a clerk that.
Each of these diamonds would
1357
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:09,800
satisfy the quote UN quote cost
for a a true resurrection.
1358
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:16,120
OK, she's going to share that
with the party.
1359
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,400
You know, like, hey, this looks
legit.
1360
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,720
We should probably get going.
Let's get glave up and running
1361
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,200
first and then head to court
headquarters.
1362
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:30,120
Whoa.
Agreed.
1363
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:31,600
Did.
We lose.
1364
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,400
All right, let's do it.
Michaela dropped out.
1365
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:37,560
Nope.
Yeah, sorry.
1366
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,800
All right, so you are going.
To first on the road again.
1367
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:47,800
OK, so you're going to be
seeking out a temple or shrine
1368
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,240
of Santaya, correct?
Yep.
1369
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,680
OK.
I assume Mosisa would know of 1.
1370
01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:00,480
Yes, I mean, yeah.
Actually, would you know the
1371
01:41:00,480 --> 01:41:04,120
rune pattern for one?
I could teleport us there if so.
1372
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,760
How would I mean?
I think that's.
1373
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:18,000
If they have a teleportation
circle, it would have like a
1374
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,440
pattern of runes to memorize in
order to use it it.
1375
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:27,520
Makes sense to have one Spencer.
How do you want me to do this?
1376
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,800
You want me to do a check on
this?
1377
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,320
Or would this be just natural
knowledge you think?
1378
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:41,960
Give me a history check on it.
Yeah. 18 You've heard that there
1379
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:49,680
are in total, you know there to
be 5 different temples to your,
1380
01:41:50,920 --> 01:42:03,960
we'll call it religion, one each
located within the each region.
1381
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:11,520
And I'm sorry, there are 6
temples, one in each region.
1382
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:15,800
Now the temple that you know,
based on the location that you
1383
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:22,520
are currently, because you're
located within the Shatter Peak,
1384
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:31,120
it would be located within the
southwestern side about about
1385
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,160
3/4 of the way there.
So underneath, if you're looking
1386
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:38,760
at the world map underneath the
TS currently you're in the
1387
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:49,290
northeast corner.
So at least the the reason that
1388
01:42:49,290 --> 01:42:52,770
you're in that would be where
the temple is located.
1389
01:42:52,770 --> 01:42:57,730
Now the temple, located within
the action belt, is in the
1390
01:42:57,730 --> 01:43:01,440
northwest corner.
I think the closest one would
1391
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,680
probably be the easiest, but I
don't know what the the spell
1392
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,520
would look like for Zebulon.
So you.
1393
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:09,600
Yeah.
Do you recall?
1394
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:11,720
Do you?
Recall the runes for the
1395
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,680
teleportation circle of any of
them.
1396
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:17,000
Yeah, so I apologize, I didn't
finish the the check.
1397
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,680
So with the check, you know that
there are 6 temples of your
1398
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:29,560
religion, however you don't know
which ones, if any, have any
1399
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:34,760
teleportation circles or glyphs
or wounds that would facilitate
1400
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:37,440
that.
So basically you would be kind
1401
01:43:37,440 --> 01:43:41,280
of going in blind.
Do you want to risk it or should
1402
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,600
we try to head back to
headquarters and see if someone
1403
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,840
at headquarters can do this?
Yeah, I think we travel on foot,
1404
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,840
we can teleport.
Back You're going to ask who
1405
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:57,800
killed them?
They're going to ask questions.
1406
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,000
We should take them to it.
We should take Clave to a temple
1407
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:06,640
if you want to remain.
I mean under the radar have.
1408
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:10,200
A deep discussion.
About it Nero's killed glave.
1409
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:22,240
Oh, OK, sure.
OK, so I'm understanding that
1410
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,160
you'll return to the Whisper
Fang.
1411
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,560
I'm game for that if you guys
are going from Whisper Fang to
1412
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:34,880
then the headquarters.
Yep.
1413
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:38,680
So the headquarters is located
within the action Belt, so it'll
1414
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,280
be about a day's travel from the
Whisper Fang, which is again, is
1415
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,080
everyone's bar Tavern, I should
say.
1416
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:50,000
And let's be honest, y'all need
a little bit of rest afterwards.
1417
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:52,640
I'm after all this.
So yeah.
1418
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,200
So, yeah.
So I mean, you can absolutely
1419
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,440
use teleportation to get back to
the the Whisper Fang.
1420
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,520
You can deduct the gold Zebulon
from there.
1421
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:04,680
Yep.
Let's do that.
1422
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:06,840
If anybody wants to pitch in,
let me know.
1423
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:14,720
Teleportation's not free 50
gold, but I confront it for this
1424
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:18,080
one and I think it's worth it to
get back home I want.
1425
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,000
To sleep with.
My pitch and then just pay for
1426
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:27,120
it this time.
OK, actually, we just got three
1427
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:28,920
diamonds, right?
How much are each of those
1428
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,040
worth?
Wait, we might need them in the
1429
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:32,520
future.
We're.
1430
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,080
Gonna Well we need at.
Least one of them.
1431
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,640
Yeah, what about the other two?
What if this happens again?
1432
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,720
Gem infused inks are what you
need as the cost for the
1433
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:51,200
teleportation circle, so I might
be able to make an abundance of
1434
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,880
it with one of these gems if
it's worth thousands.
1435
01:45:54,880 --> 01:46:00,760
We just travel on foot.
If you travel 1 foot it would be
1436
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:04,600
I got 1/2 days travel.
I wonder if I did one walk.
1437
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,200
Like 2 hours.
Yeah, I would.
1438
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,760
I would charge you one train.
500 feet right?
1439
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,560
Yes.
I like that idea.
1440
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:29,360
OK, so yeah, if you're going to
go that route, I would charge
1441
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,200
you one travel encounter as
opposed to two.
1442
01:46:36,480 --> 01:46:39,360
So you're going to, you guys are
going to go on foot back to the
1443
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,560
Whisper Fang.
I think so.
1444
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:44,480
OK, My vote would be to do that
travel encounter as we're
1445
01:46:44,480 --> 01:46:49,120
preparing to leave because the
the spell makes us like a a
1446
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:51,640
vapor that moves 300 feet a
turn.
1447
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,040
Yeah.
So the encounter is we run away
1448
01:46:55,040 --> 01:47:00,440
at 300 feet.
So what I will say is that you
1449
01:47:00,440 --> 01:47:06,840
begin to travel without Windwalk
and then after the travel
1450
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,200
encounter, you will use Windwalk
to go the rest of the way.
1451
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,720
So let's have whoever wants to
roll me AD 100.
1452
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:20,400
My last one was too good, so
someone else has to do this.
1453
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,600
Asadeo as you're welcome back
all the die.
1454
01:47:25,400 --> 01:47:27,320
Yeah.
Yeah.
1455
01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:45,960
Yeah, OK.
That's. 83 83 Where is 83?
1456
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:49,480
It's after 80.
So good job.
1457
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:56,600
People tanks.
As you're traveling just a bit a
1458
01:47:56,600 --> 01:48:05,600
ways from the Watchtower, you
encounter a traveling tinkerer,
1459
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:09,400
if you will, asking you to share
a meal with them.
1460
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,320
Oh, of course.
I'm going to bust out a whole
1461
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:20,080
bunch of stuff from my bag of
holding like a barrel of ale and
1462
01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:24,120
like a bunch of tankards for
everybody, set up a table, all
1463
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:26,560
that.
Absolutely.
1464
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:28,120
We'll share a meal with a
tinkerer.
1465
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:31,480
That sounds amazing.
OK, poison check.
1466
01:48:31,480 --> 01:48:36,480
If you say poison, check.
Yeah, I don't.
1467
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,000
Sure.
Eating food with strangers?
1468
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:42,480
Sure.
Give me a we'll call it
1469
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:44,880
perception check.
Medicine check.
1470
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:47,000
No, medicine check.
Yeah, medicine check would be
1471
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:48,680
better.
Medicine check.
1472
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,240
Got it, Got it.
Can I do one of those as well?
1473
01:48:51,880 --> 01:49:00,400
Sure, go ahead.
Oh, doesn't that one it looks.
1474
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:03,920
Incredible to you and you
immediately start eating the
1475
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:05,520
food.
Oh.
1476
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,120
So she's going to eat
immediately.
1477
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:11,440
Yep, with a net one she's going
to start eating immediately.
1478
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:20,040
I rolled a 17 so the so it'd be
a 24.
1479
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:23,520
It's not poisonous, the food is
exactly what it looks like.
1480
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,920
Again.
Hey Spencer, you can never be
1481
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:30,560
too careful.
All right.
1482
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:35,120
Hey, no, I I appreciate it.
I loved the natural one I.
1483
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,160
Mean you trusted.
Miros sure look healthy.
1484
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:41,960
What was that?
Does a tinkerer look healthy?
1485
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:45,280
Does he look injured at all?
Yeah, no, he looks completely
1486
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:50,240
normal.
And do you eat the food?
1487
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:52,600
Food's good.
Amazing.
1488
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:55,720
It's.
What a could we ask him to fix
1489
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,520
our friend?
I know it's just weird, but he's
1490
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:02,400
a tinkerer A.
Completely normal tinkerer?
1491
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:08,440
I don't think so.
OK, yeah, so never mind.
1492
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:16,080
You guys can go ahead and take a
the equivalent of, we'll say, 2
1493
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:19,400
short rests if you need it.
I know that a lot of you were
1494
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,480
healed at by neuros, but you
guys can take the 2 short rests
1495
01:50:22,480 --> 01:50:25,840
if you wish for the effects of
effectively sitting down, taking
1496
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:27,040
a quick rest, and eating some
food.
1497
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,760
And then from there, I'll see.
So we'll cast one walk and you
1498
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:40,520
will arrive at the Whisper Fang
pretty soon after that.
1499
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:44,480
Can I ask the tinkerer to make
me a contraption before he
1500
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:50,400
leaves Something to show off at
the bar?
1501
01:50:52,200 --> 01:51:00,760
Yeah, he will make you a A
hankered that has little arms
1502
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:06,360
and legs and can go around your
bar and kind of entertain people
1503
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:09,080
like hello my baby, hello my
honey, hello, my right angle.
1504
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:14,760
That is like, no joke, exactly
what I had in mind.
1505
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:18,240
Yep, so you will.
I'll I'll get you a small boost
1506
01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:20,920
here to the Whisper Fang for
that thing.
1507
01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:26,160
Hello my honey, hello my baby.
OK now, so from there, yeah,
1508
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:28,800
you'll arrive with the wind,
walk back at the Whisper Fang.
1509
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,760
Home sweet, Home Rounder drinks
for everybody.
1510
01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,000
Hey, everybody in the bar heard
that as well.
1511
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,120
And they go, hey.
Everybody.
1512
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:48,800
We don't have money.
He owned the bar.
1513
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:51,680
He made quite a lot of money
from the last time he he got his
1514
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,880
income from the bar so.
I was going to say it, wasn't
1515
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,360
there a festival or something
like that?
1516
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,400
Yeah, we.
Had a beer festival but it went
1517
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,040
great.
Yeah, it went great, totally
1518
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:02,000
fine and nothing wrong one
happened.
1519
01:52:02,440 --> 01:52:13,600
So from there you will.
We'll just go very quickly.
1520
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,440
You guys will take a long rest
from there for the night.
1521
01:52:17,440 --> 01:52:19,760
Wake up the next morning.
I assume we will be up making
1522
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,080
breakfast like normal.
Oh yeah.
1523
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:28,520
Yep.
And then so I need to understand
1524
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:30,840
what you guys determined.
So what exactly have you
1525
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,600
determined of what you're going
to do at Syndicate headquarters?
1526
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:40,760
Bring back clay if we can.
Yes, and proceed to lie to them,
1527
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:46,000
but Nero's not telling them.
Not lie, exactly, just.
1528
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:49,280
Withhold information.
Yeah.
1529
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,040
OK, so you'll withhold
information on the.
1530
01:52:53,840 --> 01:52:56,320
The deal that we made
specifically to force the
1531
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:59,480
magistrate to speak the truth.
OK, we're still going to ask.
1532
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:03,120
About the weird stuff that
Nero's was talking about though.
1533
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,400
OK, you 2 agreed.
I didn't.
1534
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:12,360
Yeah, I guess that's true.
OK if.
1535
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:14,760
I don't know, I just don't trust
him.
1536
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:20,280
If they go into the syndicate
because there's going to stay
1537
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,880
outside, she does not want to go
in.
1538
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:26,600
She's a vampire.
Yeah, that's what it is.
1539
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:30,600
Yep, you're right.
No, she just does not want to go
1540
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:34,400
in.
She wishes to stay outside in
1541
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:38,160
free air.
Free air.
1542
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:43,120
Is Kasdia staying in that outfit
or is she going to like switch
1543
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:48,080
into or Kasdia?
Staying in this outfit, OK.
1544
01:53:50,440 --> 01:53:55,720
So what will happen is, I assume
that you would all set up for
1545
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:57,560
sitting at headquarters in the
Ashton Belt, correct?
1546
01:53:59,960 --> 01:54:04,840
Yes.
OK, so forsake of time, I am not
1547
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:06,200
going to charge you a travel
encounter.
1548
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:10,000
It's pretty close to where you
are currently, about 1/2 day's
1549
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:14,200
journey, similar to basically
you're crossing the border and
1550
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:18,680
half a day's travel into the
Ashton Belt and you will arrive
1551
01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,640
at Syndicate headquarters from
there.
1552
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,840
Kasdea will again, she'll stay
outside.
1553
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,520
She doesn't like the idea of
stepping foot inside syndicate
1554
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:34,480
headquarters with the feeling
that she has about them
1555
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:38,760
currently.
So I mean, she'll, she'll go off
1556
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:47,200
and maybe do some research or
some form of thing to assist you
1557
01:54:47,200 --> 01:54:55,600
with information on the
magistrate.
1558
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:59,360
Written or the magistrate?
Correct.
1559
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:06,920
Now for all of you going inside
of headquarters, I assume that
1560
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:08,680
you're seeking out leadership
right away, correct?
1561
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,720
I would be affirmative.
To heal Glaive, to bring him
1562
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:16,880
back, yeah.
OK.
1563
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,800
We're getting Glaive back first.
That's our top priority.
1564
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:23,320
Who is carrying Glaive?
Me he's.
1565
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:24,720
In.
OK.
1566
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:28,200
He's in the bag, Sebulon.
Yeah, I guess I'm out of the
1567
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:28,480
bag.
I'm.
1568
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:31,520
On Mimi's back and Mimi's
carrying me and he's in.
1569
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:32,840
My bag.
Yeah.
1570
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:39,120
OK, cool, I love it.
Now what will occur?
1571
01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:45,520
So you will appear, you'll go to
the, let's call it the cleric's
1572
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:52,760
temple within the syndicate
headquarters, and they will
1573
01:55:52,760 --> 01:55:54,280
greet you.
Hello, travelers.
1574
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:55,920
What?
What can we assist you with?
1575
01:55:55,920 --> 01:56:00,400
A.
Friend was felled in battle, can
1576
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:03,480
you bring him back?
Just pour the diamonds out on
1577
01:56:03,480 --> 01:56:05,680
the table.
We can certainly try.
1578
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:11,880
Now where is your friend?
One moment I'm just.
1579
01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:15,120
Going to like dive into the bag
and then like pull him back.
1580
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:21,520
Out, wait, wait, I hope your
legs as you like, head first in
1581
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,360
the bag and grab on the arms and
I pull you both back out.
1582
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:33,320
Exactly.
Can you help us?
1583
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:40,960
First of all, I need a strength
check from Zebul.
1584
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:47,200
Oh, that's not good.
I'm assisting I.
1585
01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:51,680
Was all I got a 15 -, 1 is 14
but.
1586
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:54,440
Hey, that's not as good as.
I could ask for him.
1587
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,160
It's.
Better than a 216?
1588
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,120
It takes you Mimi, you hear kind
of from inside the bag.
1589
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:07,440
You hear the voices that be long
ago Mimi pull and you both kind
1590
01:57:07,440 --> 01:57:11,400
of lift him out.
So yeah, ultimately you bring
1591
01:57:11,400 --> 01:57:18,280
glave into the out of the bag.
The weight of him drags on both
1592
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:21,160
of your arms.
Metal scored organic tissue cold
1593
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:25,440
and wrong against steel.
The quiet hum he once carried is
1594
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,280
gone.
No breath, no spark, just the
1595
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:30,840
shape of somebody who used to to
move.
1596
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:40,640
You went to back our child.
The room kind of goes still when
1597
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:46,080
when they see Glave and one of
the healers steps forward, but
1598
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:52,040
he they he stops short, another
kind of just turns away.
1599
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:59,000
Then hi syndic Syndic Relvain
arrives moments later, eyes
1600
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:03,320
sharp, already know that this is
not going to end well.
1601
01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:09,520
You lay down on the table and
somebody whispers his name, and
1602
01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:17,800
another voice kind of answer is
flat, that that is not a man.
1603
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:21,640
Silence kind of tightens in the
air.
1604
01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:28,080
Relvain kind of studies glave
not with fear, but with disgust.
1605
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:35,120
I speak up, I whip around to
this person and I go, excuse me,
1606
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:40,200
why do you look upon our fallen
comrade with disgust and with
1607
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:42,880
vain?
He fought to protect us.
1608
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:46,200
What?
Who are you people?
1609
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:49,600
Who are you people to judge him
based on how he was built?
1610
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:53,440
Based upon how he was born?
A living soul bound to the
1611
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:57,360
construct architecture.
This is not a man.
1612
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:02,920
This is an abomination.
And that word lands like heavy,
1613
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:08,360
and a senior arcanist kind of
shakes their head and says
1614
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,040
there's there's no resurrection
protocol for this.
1615
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:20,560
To pull his soul would destroy
what remains.
1616
01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:26,640
And Relvain kind of raises a
hand and the room goes quiet.
1617
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:38,760
He violates accords we hold with
life, death and consent and
1618
01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:41,760
anger begins to breakthrough
restraint.
1619
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:46,280
And Relvain meets Mimi,
especially meets your eyes.
1620
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:52,680
We do not bring back weapons
pretending to be people.
1621
01:59:54,640 --> 02:00:04,480
Wow, it was so right.
He was so right, people.
1622
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:11,360
He was so right.
You people were liars, each and
1623
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:18,200
everyone of you.
I, I, I I don't.
1624
02:00:18,320 --> 02:00:21,720
Leave out of here.
These people don't deserve to
1625
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:24,640
gaze upon him with such disgust
as he has passed.
1626
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:28,560
He was just a kid.
Let's take a.
1627
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:32,040
Hold the bag of holding open so
that you can push him in
1628
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:34,040
clearly.
I couldn't do.
1629
02:00:34,080 --> 02:00:36,960
It by myself.
Amy's going to scoop up Glaze's
1630
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,560
lifeless body and is going to
walk out.
1631
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:42,560
And as she like crosses, like
the edge of the threshold, she's
1632
02:00:42,560 --> 02:00:49,560
going to turn on and go, You are
all liars and I will remember
1633
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:52,640
each and every one of your
faces.
1634
02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:55,120
And she's going to walk back to
the Tavern.
1635
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:59,480
Oh, she's just going to like,
almost growl at her a little bit
1636
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,920
like Mimi.
That's blasphemous.
1637
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:09,560
These people are here to help.
They do good work, even if they
1638
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:15,160
cannot help him.
Called him an abomination and a
1639
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,160
weapon, and they called his soul
filthy.
1640
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:22,480
Not true, not right.
I am a weapon.
1641
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:27,160
I might be blood and bones and
flesh and fur.
1642
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:32,520
Look in my eyes.
O Sisa, do you see a human?
1643
02:01:34,040 --> 02:01:37,320
No, you don't.
She's going to keep walking.
1644
02:01:41,400 --> 02:01:49,160
OK, so you'll leave the the
medics room, What we'll call it
1645
02:01:52,640 --> 02:01:59,360
as you leave Mimi, where is your
Ledger currently located?
1646
02:02:02,160 --> 02:02:05,360
A Ledger is currently located on
like this side of my body, like
1647
02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:10,000
a satchel I guess.
It starts to burn you.
1648
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:13,520
I'm ripping it off and throwing
it on the ground.
1649
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:19,160
And I'm going to keep walking.
OK.
1650
02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:31,200
Anybody else with their ledgers?
Well, I would look at my Ledger.
1651
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:37,680
Do all of us have that that
burning feeling?
1652
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:40,480
Or is it just Mimi?
It was just Mimi.
1653
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:48,560
Like is there any visible sign
of that burn or is it just like
1654
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:50,840
she feels it and she starts
throwing it off?
1655
02:02:50,960 --> 02:02:53,960
So yeah, because she threw it
off immediately, I'm not going
1656
02:02:53,960 --> 02:03:00,360
to charge her any damage.
But the rest of you who are
1657
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:02,160
checking your ledgers, I need
everybody to give me an
1658
02:03:02,160 --> 02:03:06,880
investigation check.
Do they see Mimi like RIP it off
1659
02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:10,160
and throw it though?
I mean, I would have I'm going
1660
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,080
to say yes without even a
perception check because Mimi
1661
02:03:13,080 --> 02:03:14,880
was standing effectively right
in front of them.
1662
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:17,080
Mimi left first.
Everybody else came from behind
1663
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:19,840
because they had None of this is
going to apply to you by the.
1664
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:28,160
Way I know I ain't even there.
OK, good. 18.
1665
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,560
I'm sorry, Mimi's high key had
enough.
1666
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:34,400
High key had enough.
You're crashing out, kid.
1667
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:39,280
Sorry, you said investigation,
correct?
1668
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:47,160
That'll be a 24.
Good, Zebulon and and actually
1669
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:49,960
Kasdea give me an investigation
check as well.
1670
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:54,280
OK.
Hold on, I forgot to find my
1671
02:03:54,280 --> 02:03:56,120
D20.
I lost it somewhere in the dog
1672
02:03:56,120 --> 02:04:01,160
cuddle puddle.
I got 17 OK plus something.
1673
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:09,720
All of you notice in your
ledgers a completely black page
1674
02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,520
within the rest of your normal
pages.
1675
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:17,880
Would that apply to me still
though?
1676
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:23,240
Because technically Mimi took
Kaz's Ledger like 2 episodes ago
1677
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:26,280
and never gave it back.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you're
1678
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:29,080
right.
So technically Kez doesn't even
1679
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:30,680
have her Ledger.
Mimi has it.
1680
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:35,360
OK, OK, so then this then I will
resend.
1681
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:38,200
This will not apply to you
Sevillon and Osisa.
1682
02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:44,160
You see a black page, very black
as night page now in your
1683
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:49,200
Ledger.
I'm going to focus on it and
1684
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:53,160
look for any detail, perhaps
leaning into my night vision or
1685
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:54,200
dark vision.
Sure.
1686
02:04:56,200 --> 02:04:59,840
So a seaside would assume you do
similar just kind of open it to
1687
02:04:59,840 --> 02:05:03,360
the to the page.
OK, this isn't necessarily
1688
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:05,800
anything that we we you know,
requires any dark vision or
1689
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:09,080
things like that.
It is a black page and now
1690
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:15,920
written in elegant red ink.
Bright red ink, it says.
1691
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:19,560
During deliberation concerning
revival protocols and classified
1692
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:24,200
biological constructs, Agent
Mimi issued direct accusations
1693
02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,360
of dishonesty towards Syndicate
authority.
1694
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:29,600
Statements were made publicly
inside the secured chamber
1695
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:33,080
during an active review.
Agent Mimi is hereby placed
1696
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:37,080
under Syndicate Center and
Syndicate.
1697
02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:44,320
What was it?
Syndicate unreliability status
1698
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:47,080
updated to distrust for
commanding logistical purposes.
1699
02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:50,880
Access to Syndicate resources as
restricted pending a formal
1700
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:54,560
review.
Mimi, you're going to have to
1701
02:05:54,560 --> 02:06:00,880
change your name.
What at this time, Mimi, you are
1702
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:05,560
going to lose all effects and
bonuses of the syndicate Ledger.
1703
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:13,040
So basically have to like
unattune it from your character.
1704
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:15,680
Correct.
Undertune.
1705
02:06:15,680 --> 02:06:19,080
And as of right now, I mean, you
can, you can still have it in
1706
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:24,480
your inventory if you're using
DND Beyond, but it will not like
1707
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:27,880
the AC bonus and the the spell
bonus or you know, the spells,
1708
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:30,080
things like that.
None of that will apply to you
1709
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:33,720
as of right now.
You're still welcome to work at
1710
02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:36,880
the bar, but you might need to
like wear some makeup or a mask
1711
02:06:36,880 --> 02:06:38,440
or something.
We'll figure it out.
1712
02:06:39,520 --> 02:06:41,040
I'm good at the illusion magic
stuff.
1713
02:06:41,040 --> 02:06:45,480
Don't worry about it, you're
still part of the crew.
1714
02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:57,560
So are you going now?
Where are you going after this
1715
02:06:57,880 --> 02:07:00,120
again?
You've left the the medic area
1716
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:06,120
for the syndicate.
Are you leaving the headquarters
1717
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:09,160
completely?
Yeah.
1718
02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:15,400
Well, I mean, we should if, if
we can't bring back Glave, then
1719
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:18,600
we should give him some kind of
burial or burial rites.
1720
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,000
Leave something else.
That's what I.
1721
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:25,680
Was about to say the syndicate
disapproves, but the syndicate
1722
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:28,760
disapproves.
Of the fallen soldier, they
1723
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,800
called him an abomination.
They said he was useless, they
1724
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:39,080
called him a weapon.
And what am I?
1725
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:43,360
Osisa, Can you answer?
That question for me, am I an
1726
02:07:43,360 --> 02:07:50,400
animal?
As was glate, I disagree with
1727
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:53,760
the.
Syndicate's decision not to.
1728
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:58,840
Revive him.
But it is beyond my power to do
1729
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:03,160
so.
They did not tell us that we
1730
02:08:03,160 --> 02:08:07,760
cannot give him proper rights.
Of burial, would you?
1731
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:10,240
Agree, he at least deserves that
much.
1732
02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:14,480
Hi everyone, spits a heart here
in the crit happens editing Bay.
1733
02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:17,800
So we learned very quickly in
the next. 5 minutes.
1734
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:22,920
That Internet sucks sometimes
and you lose a bunch of audio
1735
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:28,000
because it sounds like this, so
we're going to skip ahead about
1736
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,640
5 minutes, I promise.
You didn't miss anything.
1737
02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:34,240
Yeah, that like somebody else
might be willing to bring him
1738
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:40,760
back and.
I know I have broken.
1739
02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:50,280
By Ledger at the Syndicate.
But this final act of inhumanity
1740
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,880
towards.
Creature who is most like.
1741
02:08:52,960 --> 02:09:03,960
Myself is foul.
I will expose them.
1742
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:07,280
I don't care how long it takes.
I don't care how much people.
1743
02:09:07,480 --> 02:09:09,440
How many people?
I have to kill and slaughter.
1744
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:17,760
Mimi, this is the syndicate.
Are you sure you want to make an
1745
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:22,160
enemy out of a?
Group this large, this powerful?
1746
02:09:26,080 --> 02:09:30,800
Well, maybe I'll just join.
The other side for just a moment
1747
02:09:31,440 --> 02:09:33,200
in your head.
You here.
1748
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,720
I always welcome new members.
You know exactly who it is.
1749
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:46,000
She's a Step 10 think.
Price He's just listening to us
1750
02:09:46,080 --> 02:09:47,960
the whole time.
Mimi, I need you to give me a.
1751
02:09:47,960 --> 02:10:04,720
Wisdom saving throw please.
OK. 13 when you hear the voice
1752
02:10:04,720 --> 02:10:06,200
of Neros in your.
Head.
1753
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:09,400
It almost has.
This effect.
1754
02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:13,080
Of.
You see?
1755
02:10:13,080 --> 02:10:16,400
Now in.
Front of you, Neros.
1756
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:20,240
And you?
Just immediately go after him
1757
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:27,680
and take a slash across the face
at him and for a moment you see
1758
02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:31,680
Neros bleeding and then you
blink and then it's just.
1759
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:34,680
A regular.
Syndicate agent that you just
1760
02:10:34,680 --> 02:10:41,480
slashed across the face.
Holy fucking shit.
1761
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:48,000
Mimi, what are you?
Doing I'm going to go over.
1762
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:52,120
To heal them staring at her.
Head and it's flooded and she's
1763
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:54,600
just thinking like in her head,
why don't I just do that?
1764
02:10:54,600 --> 02:10:55,760
I don't want to hurt.
Neros.
1765
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:56,720
Neros might.
Be right.
1766
02:10:56,960 --> 02:10:59,360
I'm confused and I'm lost and
I'm scared.
1767
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:01,440
Mimi, I need a wisdom saving
throw please.
1768
02:11:03,560 --> 02:11:09,200
Oh fuck.
You blast me.
1769
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:12,320
I'm going to say. 2 bad Graves
isn't alive.
1770
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:17,680
He gives everybody a + 5.
To say 1717 OK, yes, you, you
1771
02:11:17,680 --> 02:11:22,960
begin to you want to go back.
At a second slash and what you
1772
02:11:22,960 --> 02:11:26,880
again perceive as neuros, but as
you go to step forward, you
1773
02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:31,560
blink and you kind of do that,
that series of blinks where
1774
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:39,040
you're just kind of coming to
and you settled down just a bit.
1775
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:40,920
You were almost at the point of
break.
1776
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:49,880
Oh.
Cure wounds on the agent.
1777
02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:53,360
OK, you can give him Max Max HP
with that.
1778
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:55,880
OK, tend to.
His wounds, you know, kind of
1779
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:57,400
stop.
The bleeding.
1780
02:11:57,400 --> 02:11:59,960
By the way, Cassidy, you'd
probably hear this commotion.
1781
02:12:00,720 --> 02:12:02,760
Oh, yeah, the cast.
Cast.
1782
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:04,000
I was just going to say cast
comes.
1783
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:06,760
Around the corner like what the
fuck is happening right now and
1784
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,440
looks at?
Mimi with a bloody hand looks at
1785
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:12,880
the syndicated agent, goes,
walks up to Mimi and kind of
1786
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:14,760
takes her bloody hand and goes
it's OK.
1787
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:19,000
And I do have a question out of
character before.
1788
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,080
Before that I need an animal
handling check please.
1789
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:27,760
Real cool.
That's a 19.
1790

02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:42,880
And I apologize if I harm anyone
at one point.

OK.
1811
02:14:17,160 --> 02:14:18,440

1825
02:15:18,120 --> 02:15:20,040
Man, that's.
Bleeding from the face.
1826
02:15:21,760 --> 02:15:26,880
OSIS is going to turn around and
be like I'm fine but.
1827
02:15:27,440 --> 02:15:29,760
I think.
Mimi's having some issues.
1828
02:15:30,760 --> 02:15:33,560
Mimi's fine.
She's going to say that really
1829
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:36,760
quick and like, clipped.
Mimi's fine, let's go.
1830
02:15:37,360 --> 02:15:40,440
She's going to kind of tug on
Mimi's hand and kind of start
1831
02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:45,920
walking.
Give me another Animal Handling
1832
02:15:45,920 --> 02:15:48,520
check or I'll tell you what you.
Can give me either animal
1833
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:56,040
handling or persuasion?
Good.
1834
02:16:01,280 --> 02:16:08,160
Theme music 21. 21 Yeah, maybe
you'll go down to. 6.
1835
02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:14,960
OK.
So Mimi, do we want to explain
1836
02:16:14,960 --> 02:16:15,760
what's happening?
With you?
1837
02:16:15,760 --> 02:16:18,280
Or is this just specific in
secret to your character?
1838
02:16:24,320 --> 02:16:30,440
It might be useful for.
OK, OK, so I kind.
1839
02:16:30,440 --> 02:16:32,360
Of heard you, you're still
you're having Internet problems
1840
02:16:32,360 --> 02:16:34,240
again.
So of my party.
1841
02:16:34,240 --> 02:16:36,760
Members, they knew what was.
Yeah.
1842
02:16:36,920 --> 02:16:39,240
So what what's happening here is
Mimi is.
1843
02:16:39,920 --> 02:16:42,000
Fighting her primal.
There we go.
1844
02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:44,559
Mimi Mimi's fighting.
Her primal instinct.
1845
02:16:46,280 --> 02:16:50,840
So she has a effectively, we
would call the tension clock
1846
02:16:51,160 --> 02:16:56,080
that certain events trigger her
primal instincts, if you will.
1847
02:16:56,879 --> 02:17:00,680
I'm not going to discuss what
those are, but that's
1848
02:17:00,680 --> 02:17:04,840
effectively what we're tracking
is she's fighting the urge to
1849
02:17:04,840 --> 02:17:08,799
just go full feral and kick the
shit out of everyone.
1850
02:17:12,120 --> 02:17:15,360
So he's on a ticking killer time
clock.
1851
02:17:16,559 --> 02:17:22,760
He's a ticking time bomb.
So perfect So.
1852
02:17:22,760 --> 02:17:29,400
You will put Glave in the bag.
You will then head out and you
1853
