Hello everybody. Welcome back to D and D4-O four.
I am your DM, Tony, and join with me today are the other four
pet peeves that really pee me off, starting with the I don't
care if you're injured, Jared. Tony hit his hand earlier and I
was like. We got to get going.
Come on. We're all getting a hard time.
30 seconds. Ago and I'm wounded.
I am bleeding. Mylan reporting in and my pet
peeve is when it's it's a silly one, but I I swear I don't know
why it makes me cringe to my life if someone says an S and
they whistle with their their teeth or whatever.
Oh my God, dude, it makes me cringe.
So yeah. That whole thing I.
Don't know how I can do that. Drives me crazy.
What about you, Kylie? Hi, I'm Kylie.
I'm Vivian Schumer. My pet peeve is when someone
asks you something that you can literally Google.
How do I turn on the dishwasher? Go take a look.
Take a fucking look. I ain't your dictionary.
Go away. How about you, Alec?
Yeah, my name is Alec. I play Castle Amber Leaf.
And listen here, all you fucking assholes that don't use your
blinkers while you're driving, OK?
I'm trying to pull out of the gas station and I'm waiting for
traffic to go by me and all of a sudden you're going to pull into
the gas station, but you're not going to turn on your blinker.
So you're going to make me wait till you drive all the way up to
me and then and then turn. Really.
I don't know about that. Dan, what about you?
Hello. Everybody, my name is Dan.
I play Bo Ram, Dumaray, you Bogfrogger, Tiffisser, and
mine's also a driving one. One of my least favorite things
on the road, when someone skids out in front of you to get ahead
of you and then goes like 10 miles under the speed limit.
I cannot stand that stuff. Oh my goodness, Tony.
What? What grinds your gear?
When an elevator door opens, if people won't move the fuck out
the way, dude it. Oh my God.
Or just stand there. Or like people try to go into
the elevator before the people who are trying to get out can
actually leave to make room for people trying to get on.
That's an underrated one right there.
You gave me a second one for the after show.
Thank you, I will try to keep that in mind.
Keep in mind, thank you Knock Mock, by the way, for that
wonderful pet peeves introduction.
Now you know the deal. Sorry, I'm feeling woozy.
I guess it was blood loss. Before we do the recap, we're
going to do the rundown. And today's rundown was brought
to you by I forget his name because I just, I just feel so
woozy. Anyways, I'm taking over all
right I'm going to be running down the website make sure to go
check it out by the time this is out, we probably will have the
new website up. I know I've been shouting it out
and been praising it. Don't worry it's going to be
there. We have a release date and it is
when this episode is probably dropping, so be sure to check it
out. We got a new merch.
We got posters and also you know some other little things.
So go check it out. D and d44.com check it out now.
And after that we got the recap. Last time we wrapped up our time
at the Forgotten Tower, we made our way back to Rockhead
Homestead. Bo Ram traded in the weird fish
he found for some gold, showed off a Tarasque claw that he's
holding on to. We realized something was off.
We lost about two days in there, so time definitely isn't working
normal. On the road back to the
Bolduras, things got a little heavy when Bo Ram was given a
mysterious box to return to somebody.
We returned it. Things seemed a little shady.
After that we all got together. We he decided, hey, you know
what? Caswell is going to sleep over
at Vivian's and his new place, and Bo Ram and Mylan are going
to stay at Bo Ram's house. On the way there they find a
sign. Bo Ram looks at it, says that
the mines are going to be under excavation, and boom, dynamite
ends the episode. Art play the intro Disgraced in
the heartland. A star could set things right,
manufacture the magical, and our secrets are gone?
Mylan reporting in Forest Runner, Midnight Stargazer and a
full time snack hunter. I travel around with Vivian, a
rogue who never listens to my plan, Castle, a paladin who
bribes me with food to stop me from screaming, and my own
personal chauffeur, Beau Ram the Artificer.
This is D and D4 O 4. Welcome to session 24.
We pick up with a loud boom followed by horrifying screams
of workers inside the underbelly quickly running out.
As you hold down the flyer and you see the rubble fall between
the entrance. Boram and Mylan, you see some
people rushing out of the underbelly cave entrance.
You see people are badly wounded.
A lot of them are covered in soot and rock and dust and
they're screaming as if they just saw something horrible as
they are quickly out of breath. Between the boom and the people
running out, about a few minutes have passed.
What are the two of you doing after this initial boom?
By the way, Sonny is also with me.
What was that? Wait, that was from over there
and he's panicking as the mind it's towards where his hidey
hole is. It's inside the underbelly.
You're in the entrance, but the underbelly is a huge cavern.
People do live in there. Mostly work happens there,
mining, excavating, but there are creatures and people of the
city who do live in there. So it's a big place.
It's not like a little tiny cave.
Your home is in a hole in the wall within this large Biome.
That did not sound good. We, I mean, we definitely gotta
go in there. We gotta go check it out.
What? You're talking about I ain't
going in there. What?
Why it's nice? It's nice, it just bloated.
Yeah, but, well, OK, it's a little loud sometimes, but it's
a lot of screams. In there.
You know that does happen, but not this much.
All right, be careful. We ain't going to go in too far.
We just going to find out what happened to report.
Mylan is staring at Bo Ram as he shifts his eyes over to Sunny.
So you guys stay here. No, I'm going in.
Oh. And Mylan starts to slowly back
away, waiting for Bo Ram to either say yes or no.
Enough dilly dally and I pick both of them up and I'm carrying
them as I walk into the mine. As you walk inside this large
cavern, now there's many entrances into the underbelly,
and this is what of a Mylan. This is the one you normally go
on there because it's to your hidey hole.
You follow the train tracks as you lead into the underbelly and
you see that there are all these miners running towards your
direction. About 100 feet from the
entrance, there is a massive hole.
There are cranes there and it looks like there was some type
of controlled explosion that happened as they're getting
ready to mine. This is something that's not
totally out of the ordinary, however.
The people running in your direction.
As you hear some very bad screams coming from the
explosion site, you see that there are people yelling in
fear. It's like just eating them.
It's eating them as they are running in your direction and
they are like breezing past you. Whoa, hey, oh, hey, Maze, that
me Calm down. What's going on in here?
Somebody stop. And I grabbed like someone on
the shirt. You grab one of the people who
will work on this site like we're doing this, this like
these black balls with a million lights on them and they're just
jumped on them. And you look over towards where
this blast site is from the distance where you are, it kind
of looks like a black fuzzball where your eyes can't quite
define the characteristics of what exactly you're looking at.
The underbelly is very dark. And Boram, as a human, you are
having a little bit of a difficult time trying to see
this, although there are a lot of lanterns.
And as you're looking at this being this fuzzy being that's
moving like very sporadically, but fuzzy in like a hairy kind
of way, you do see that underneath these two black fuzz
balls are miners who look like they're bleeding out, as if the
black ball of fuzz is eating them.
You're hearing these like sounds of crunching and stabbing, and
you're seeing like the top part of their bodies, like reaching
out. They're trying to claw their way
out from the giant ball of fuzz, but they're just bleeding
profusely onto the floor. Beyond them, you do see more
dead bodies. Is this the normal entrance that
normally come? In one, yeah.
So we're going to say that the entrance that you came in, we're
going to call the north entrance moving forward.
There are several entrances to the underbelly, but this is the
north entrance. Your hidey hole is a little bit
in like the dead center. There's like these Rocky
Mountains all laden throughout the underbelly.
It's pretty vast. There are also buildings in
there, this tents, this construction, and there's plenty
of bodies of water, cave lakes that are in the underbelly, the
whole big Biome. Your hidey hole resides in one
of these mountainous hills within the underbelly that's
about kind of in the center of it off.
It's a tiny enough hole where nobody really notices your hidey
hole, and you need to be really small to kind of squeeze in
there. All right, there's no time.
You go get a gun and I throw the guy that I was grabbing out the
entrance. And you throw him, he like
scuffs onto the floor, picks himself up and runs out as you
see all these other people heading in your direction trying
to leave. I'm not, I don't like this, but
there are people in need and I'll run 30 feet into The Cave.
You look over to your West and you see that there's somebody
running by. Almost parallel to you and
another one of these black fuzz balls leaps from one of the
stalagmites that are just jutting out of the ground on top
of this poor victim you look over now that you are in closer
detail. You see this black hairy fuzz
ball, but it's not really hair. A matter of fact, it looks like
a black orb and all of the hairs is actually a bunch of spider
legs with sharp nails at the other ends of its feet.
It looks like it has some more than 8 legs.
It looks like a ball of spider legs that had just launched
itself from the stalagmite on top of this person landing down
with a bone snapping crunch immediately bites into him.
This guy lets out a horrific painful scream like falls off to
the fore collapse. He is not prone.
As you see, blood begins to trail from underneath his body.
That's something that should not exist, and I'm going to try
shooting a poison spray at it. Everybody roll initiative. 16.
Sunny 11 Starting at the top of the round bow rim, you move 30
feet and you see this hairy ball of legs trample this poor miner,
crushing him. It is a medium sized creature,
but it's on the larger side of a medium sized creature.
That's a 17 to hit with my poison spray. 17 hits as it
takes 9 points of poison damage. Takes the poison damage.
And that's all that happens. And then I'm going to use a
bonus action to drink one of my potions.
OK, what potion are you drinking?
I should drink this before, but I'm going to drink my potion of
boldness. The drinker can roll 1D four and
add that number rolled to every attack roll and saving through
it makes for the next minute. So that's what I get as I end my
turn looking at this crazy abomination of spider legs.
We're going to move to Initiative 11, which is sunny,
and she's going to go and she's going to run 35 feet next to
you, bow ramp. Use a part of her movement.
As you see she has a little short sword out by her side.
She pulls it out, kind of holds it like a long dagger, so the
blade is actually pointed down, but it is a short sword.
As you can see that she's trying to stick to the shadows as she
uses a hide action as a bonus action with her Cunning action.
Oh, we got Vivi Mini over there. She is hidden.
She goes by this like you don't even know if she's there.
And then she goes, hey, I'm right here.
As you move to Initiative 10, which are these small spider
legs. These are pominations and you
see that the the one that had just pounced is still feeding on
the four miner that had just run away closest to you.
Bow Ram after taking the poison damage is now looking at you,
but that's going to be its turn. The other two are going to move.
As you see these two move very quickly and they quickly jump
and pounce on two close by miners and begin feasting on
them. We're going to move to
Initiative 5, Milo. The minor that's closest to us
that was paralleled above him. He is dead.
He is immobile. He's like squirming in place.
You don't really know if he's alive or dead, but he is
bleeding a lot and he's being eaten.
You need to do a medicine check to know if he's dead or alive.
How? About if I do an ear check and
just hear if he's making a noise.
A lot of people making noises, they're being eaten.
OK, OK. And there's a lot of people
running out of the mines right now, so you need to do a
medicine check on this guy. I will not.
Instead I'm going to cast warp propel, which hopefully he's
going to fail since he's already prone, and move him 30 feet and
see what happens. So I reach my hand out, I see
him on the ground, and I'm going to try to warp him towards me.
Sure enough, he fails and you see that a Porter opens up
behind you. You see that a human body rolls
on the floor and it is motionless.
No. Oh no, you know, maybe, maybe we
leave, maybe we leave. His feet are trying to want to
leave, but he reaches out, closes his eyes towards the
monster that was just eating this poor man, and cast Shatter.
It is a Constitution saving throw of ADC 14.
Fails. Nice, which is 8 damage.
As you see this thing gets knocked back from the shatter
spell and you see you get to see the underside of this creature.
It looks like all the legs or on top almost acting like a
exoskeleton for the body. All these legs are like a
barrier for the creature. And when you're able to see the
underside, if a spider had a humanoid face and torso with
arms, it's sticking on the underside of it.
You see this face for a second. It has this horrible black bald
face with six eyes 3 on either side.
It has these large fangs and it has these elf like ears.
And then you see that in it's 2 long arms it has A3 pronged
fingered hand. Not what I expected, OK, but
yeah, that will in violence turn as he shouts over a bow rib.
What the hell is going on? He's very perplexed and whatever
the hell this weird thing is. As he moved to Initiative 16, oh
R.E.M. I don't know Factor, but I don't
know if I'm going to be allowed to help you as he's just going
to cast another cantrip poison spray at that same spider.
See what happens, Lip? And that's going to be 15.
Teen hits, that is on the money. As it takes eight points of
poison damage. Whoa, doing as much damage to
level 1 spell? And lucky on those damage rules.
Yeah, it's really lucky. What else you doing?
And then with a bonus action, I guess I'll take my potion of
swiftness to add 10 feet to my movement as I move 25 feet back
to Milan. All right.
Facto, I don't know what's going to go down here, but if things
get airy, which they kind of already are, we might need to
dash. As we move to addition of 11,
somebody's going to take your lead and it's quickly following
behind you. It's like, well this is insane.
The game in this is not on the same initiative.
You see more people running towards the entrance trying to
escape this place. As we move to initial 10, which
are these spider beans, you see as more people begin to run out
clearing the blast site, the 2 balls of fuzz that are pouncing
on people closest to the blast site, they begin to move back to
the hole, dragging these people with them.
And then you see that they quickly go down deep into the
darkness where the blast site is, leaving this initiative with
the victims that they had just pounced on.
As you hear them scream as they are trying to hold on to the
dirt, as their fingers drag through the dirt of the mine.
And you see this third one is going to make its way towards
the three of you. And it is moving exceptionally
quick. So quick that it's scurries
past, somebody knocks them over and is now in melee range.
And you see that it stands up on 2 sets of legs and you see this
human esque spider corso body behind this cascading wingspan
of legs behind it. And it's going to try to attack
Yugo Ram with its spectral dagger.
It misses with the seven and then you see the six eyes glow
as it casts a spell on you. It casts a spell bane on the
three actually, because the targets of the three creatures.
Each of you must make a curse of a saving throw and let me know
if you get a passing over DC-14 or higher.
It's a 16 for Boram. Mark it down in the ABS.
Everybody funny, He's on the
board. Milan passes and Boran passes.
You are not affected by this vein spell.
Sonny is, and you see that her head begins to turn.
Her eyes glow over for a second. Basically, whenever you make an
ability saving throw or roll the hit, it's minus one D4 to that
role as we move to Initiative 5 Milan.
As the spider bumped past the guy, Milan feels a slight poke
in his aside from the doll that he keeps carrying around, and
he's going to take out the doll and cast the sleep spell on the
spider thing. The spell sends the creature
into a magical sunbird. Roll 5D. 8 Go ahead and roll
5D-8. Let me know what.
Number you get 16. It does not fall asleep.
So how the sleep spell works is that you roll 5D-8 and if you
roll what their remaining health is or over then they fall asleep
and that many creatures that fall under that health will fall
asleep. It's an area of effect though
when you cast this spell and you see this purple cloud form over
it and it begins to cast sleep. Although the spell failed
mechanically, you all notice something.
It's eyes begin to turn purple and blue and gold as if it was
reacting to the spell within its eyes.
Bull Ram. This alerts you to a very key
characteristic to a specific type of creatures that cannot.
Fall asleep and they're going to work on these guys.
Milan Something else? Milo, what else are you doing
the rest of your turn? I am done.
I think I that's yeah, I think he just takes the the doll out.
As soon as he takes it out and tries to adjust it, it casts the
spell and it stuns him that it actually does this because this
is the first time he he knows that it can do that.
And then that'll be his turn and.
We'll go back to the top of round and shoot 16 ballroom.
All right, time to stop messing around.
And Ballroom puts his goggles on and he bonus action misty steps
30 feet away to the South. And then he's going to cast
another poison spray at this creature 16. 16 hits.
As it takes five more points of poison damage.
What else you doing I'm. Going to run 30 feet to the
South as well just to get a better look at the people on the
ground to see if anyone's still alive or there.
You run 30 feet to the South and you're looking on the floor and
all these victims that had gotten pounced on, they are
dead. You do notice something at a
glance, not only do they look like they have small bites taken
out of them, they look like they each have been stabbed in the
back multiple times while being You also see remnants of like
webbing and these people both are all face down on the floor.
You're going to go to initiative 11, which is Sunny looks at Bo
Ram. Bo Ram is nowhere to be found.
He goes oh, whoa and is going to take a disengaged action as a
bonus action and is going to run past deeper into the mind using
part of her movement. She's going to take out a short
bow and shoot. This thing is going to miss
where they go to initiative 10, which is this spider creature
Milan. The only one being in front of
it is going to attack you as it's going to take a swipe with
this spectral dagger. There's an 18 to hit.
You're going to take 4 points of piercing damage.
You're going to take 15 points of poison damage.
I'm going to use Psionic Backlash, which is a reaction
immediately after a creature you can see hit you with an attack
roll. You can take a reaction and
expend one of your dice, my psychic dice.
You roll it and reduce it by that much.
So it's a 3A. Then you reduce the damage taken
from the attack equal to two times the number rolled plus
your intelligence modifier. So that would be 678.
So I reduce it by 8. OK.
Wow. In addition, you can force the
attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed save, the target takes psychic damage equal to
the amount of damage you reduced.
C-14 it fails and it will take eight points of psychic damage
and you only take 11 points total.
So as the swords coming down, my right hand jumps up and takes
the blunt of the sword, but then you can just see this energy
bounce off of him and it shoots it back at.
Him after it takes that psyche damage, you see that, it looks
at you and it begins to back away.
It is going to run. You get an attack of opportunity
here. If you like, go ahead and make a
blow attack. It's a nine.
That misses as it quickly moves away and you see that as it
moves, it's somebody like running and it like trips it
trying to grab it. But let's go as it misses and
continues to run as it moves almost 45 feet in its turn
trying to go back to the hole, the blast site and Borams
direction as you go back to the top of the round this year 16
Boram, what are you doing? Come on now, we're not done with
you yet and I'll shoot a Tosha costing brew at it as it will
have to make that sticks 30 saving through.
Sure, out of 17. Oh, that'll pass.
So it's not covered in acid as Boram then kind of moves out of
the way, like dashes out of the way as this thing's running.
Yeah, it is definitely heading in your direction.
You are in its path as you move to Initiative 11 and you see
Sunny is going to move half her movement towards this thing and
is going to look at you Boram for guidance of what she should
do. Don't get too close to it, it's
scanned. See if I can slow it and she's
going to shoot an arrow with a 16 head damage on the ball, six
points of damage as it lands in one of its fuzzy legs.
As you move to initiative 10, which is this spider creature is
going to take a dash action is going to move up to 80 feet,
which is more than enough speed to clear the gap and crawl into
the darkness of the blast site. You see people begin to run out
and the three of you are now out of combat.
Oh my first night down. So we got to look forward to on
our travels next time, next few days.
I don't like it here anymore. Yeah, Milan.
That's a dangerous place. People are running out.
Sunny runs back up and you see people like ringing the bell,
like an emergency bell, and you hear people screaming for the
House of Arms, which is one of the five major guilds in both
areas. All right, Milan, I'm going to
hang out in the front so that they can ask us questions, OK?
Yeah, I just got to do something.
And he awkwardly runs to his little home.
Hey Sunny, look after him. Will you and I wink at Sunny?
Yeah, yeah, I'll go with him. Yeah.
And you see that Sunny follows Mylan.
As Bowerman buttons his lab coat, kind of puts his goggles
down around his neck and walks out of the cavern, lighting a
cigarette. You walk out of the cavern,
Mylan and Sunny go back to Mylan's home.
We're a cut over Kazzle and Vivian now.
When they were going to the underbelly, Vivian and Kazzle
were heading back to Vivian's estate.
What are the two of you doing You 2 walking back after this?
Did you make it there? Have you retired from the night?
We didn't really explore that too much last session.
What are the two of you doing? I.
Feel like we'd be probably walking back and chatting.
Yeah, I think so. Probably got back.
I don't see us being able to do much with Beaufort there in
terms of like talking and working on things Vivian's not
really interested in doing, like another outing.
What about Kassel? No, I think Kassel really
understands the position that Vivian, so he's definitely on
board for just heading back and making sure Vivian doesn't get
in any trouble. While all this is going on,
Vivian and Kazel share a crisp handshake and go separate ways
in the house. Hope they're doing good.
Yeah, I'm sure they're fine. I don't know about Boram, but
Milan will be OK. Cut to mileage.
Screaming is instead of this giant spider fuzzball Vivian as
you enter the house with Kazel Buford.
Of course. Lady, lady, Lady Vivian, Lady
Shamma, I love you first. It's been all night.
I mean, it hasn't been that long.
You you said you will be back soon and it's past midday.
Caswell looks at some sort of clock.
No, look. A grandfather clock goes off
and. Pulls out his iPhone and he
lakes it up so he can see the time on his phone.
Look, it's not even that late. Well.
Sorry the time must have slipped past this, but we're back and we
had to figure out accommodations for Castle the next day as well
as making sure her friends got home.
Of course, rule 17 of the Charmont Household Rules of
Vivian is that you must be back no later than two hours post
sunset. Why is that a rule?
I follow the rules that your father and state, my lady.
Beaufort, could I ask, you're very good at your job, but may I
ask, could there be anything that we could do to like push
off a little bit? I think these rules were made
when I was 11. I am now 27.
Yeah, they got a scale, you know.
Yeah. I guess I could, I could write
to Louis Chaman and ask about these rules, regulations if
they're updated up per your request.
Well, I mean, think about it like that's why he put you here,
because he trusts you so much to make these decisions on your
own. I mean, if he thought that you
had to bug him about every single little thing, you know,
come on, let's, let's be right, you, you definitely wouldn't be
here. Castle makes a great point.
Well shaman very clear to include come out of any
household changes, but wrote me a persuasion check.
I'm proficient, so Vivian's going to Pat Castle on the back
and go, yeah, Castle is completely right.
He's so well versed in this, I don't know. 22 you see he like
looks around he's like licking his lips a little bit and like
as you feel that you give him like a confidence booster like
of course I mean he does think I am very exceptional by Jeff.
You just trust me to oversee his faithful, faithful warden.
I guess I could take some liberties here and there and do
what I think is best for the household if if you trust me so
much. Exactly.
See, see, now you're thinking like a, like a true a true
inspiration for the Charman family.
Absolutely. I'll make sure I send praises
back to Father. Lady, I will evaluate these
rules and see if I can be a little more lenient, but I do
implore that you adhere to at least the rough guidelines of
the rules out of respect for your father in this household.
And I will certainly overlook some of these rules as you are a
young lady yourself and I believe that we could work
together to make this a flourishing household.
Of course, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Beefra, thank you so much. I think that's a great idea,
Casl. Great thinking, yes.
Yeah, exactly. I really appreciate the
conversation that we could have and speak to each other like
adults. It really means a lot to me to
feel included in your daily activities, even if the
activities just revolve you and your faithful companion here.
Now, tonight, I'll allow Casl to stay here, but he should really
find a place of his own. He's more than welcome to visit,
spend the day with with you, and even walk you around the city,
but I strongly urge that he does not stay here as you are patrol
to another and it's solely responsible that you maintain
that loyalty to your future husband.
Yes, Buford, don't you worry that is that.
Is the case, yes, that is. I, I'm like you, you know, I, I
work for the Sharmans. As Vivian's personal security,
you wouldn't want anything to happen to Vivian.
But of course, of course, no, no, of course not.
Of course not. Of course not.
Of course.
No, of course. No, of course not, and father
approves of this, so there we go.
He needed a place to stay and I needed a guard.
So you know, it worked out. There's lots of places in this
home now, it's just us too, so sometimes it's nice to have
company over. Of course, my lady, totally
understand, just let's just keep it to the 98 rules that are
present to the house. Of course, with some mild
addendums. Be lovely if we could shave a
few off. But yes, I've memorized them in
full. Of course, but of course now as
you 2 retire for the but I'd please it is my duty to remind
you that your father will be here for Modi tea time.
Have a good night. And you see that fever quickly,
No, quickly walks off. Good.
Vivian turns around, smashes her head in the door frames.
Castle, that was insane, great job.
Also, I have a plan for tomorrow, if it's going to be
you, I'm going to see if I can get you all his personal detail
for this party tomorrow. You would be invited, but it
would be nice if you could bring Bo Ram a Mylan, no?
Yeah. OK, I can't go alone.
I can't go alone. Please.
You guys can't leave me. It's going to be foolproof.
We're going to convince my father.
It's going to be great. You're the knight that's already
established. Mylyn is going to be my ward.
Like that brother and sister program you hear about to train
me to be whatever. And bow Rams are alchemists so
that I don't get sick. And he cures us.
And he just doesn't speak. That's just you can't speak.
Yeah. But I mean, that's yeah.
Good luck with that. OK, Yeah.
We're going to. We're going to.
Try. OK.
I think having, you know, someone that literally will put
anything in their mouth and someone with the manners of a
farm cow. I don't.
I don't know if those are two people that you might want,
like, sure, sure. OK.
Yeah, that'll work.
I think it's important that they try to come, but we'll we'll
have to see, OK. Yep.
Sounds OK. Good night Kazzle, get some
good. See you later and Vivian's going
to book it up to her room. You retire for the evening along
with Kazzle and we pan back over to Boram.
Boram, you are now speaking with some of the House of Arms Guild
members. Now these Guild members of the
House of Arms are fitted like soldiers.
Now there are city guards and then there's the House of Arms.
The House of Arms are considered the elite, the elite of the
fighting force of Boulderas. They are often called in for
extreme measures and are used primarily in war if something
like that were to happen. Now, Boulderas isn't at war with
any nation, but they are definitely fitted to handle it
if they need to. You see that you are talking to
a Captain and there was about a troop of 10 House of Arms
infantry behind them. They are each equipped with
their own long sword Shields and crossbows, and they are very
well protected with their armor. And you see that as you begin to
talk to the captain, you see some of the other House of Arms
members are talking to the other survivors of the Black Site, and
they're giving a full detail. You're giving them a breakdown
of what you see. Is there anything you're
omitting or adding to that conversation?
He's pretty much telling them straight up.
He's kind of sketching in his notebook as well, give them
better ideas since he he got quite a good look at him.
Yeah, crazy creatures, I know, but that's what was India came
about, the whole I think. Interesting, I've never seen
anything like this before. This stuff definitely seems
something out of our expertise or things that we've just seen
around before before, but this seems like a creature of the
Underdark. It seems like in the name.
Some type of spider folk and you see that he's looking at what
you're drawing and you see despite the how polished his
communication is, there's an obvious class difference between
the two of you. He is treating you as an equal
and he is taking the information that you're giving to him and
actually analyzing and not brushing past it as if he he's a
know it all. So as he's look into he goes.
You're saying he had a humanoid esque body?
Humanoid body got this spectral dagger, like 3 finger dance,
something like that. I already gave one of my
sketches to one of your gods so they can take it to you later,
but I heard you needed help down here.
If you want, I got some people that might want to go in and
take a look. I'm not sure what other issues
that may be going on quest. If you see something on the town
Quest board and jobs board, then I'm sure each to their own.
There's a lot of things that tend to crawl down here.
But being so close to the other dark, it was bound to happen
that something more deadly was going to show its face at some
point. Just a shame that we were not
here for what had happened because it saved a lot of lives
tonight. And he looks at your drawing
again and he points to the spectral dagger.
When you mentioned the spectral dagger, that's what really
caused his interest. And he points to the humanoid
esque body And he goes. I need to brush up on my Lord of
deities, but spider folk spectral dagger weaving magic.
This looks like a not just another creature that will be
lurking down. This looks like something of
somewhat intelligence. This could be a follower of Loaf
if it's weaving magical. I mean, that don't sound too far
off the way they was acting. Yeah, but I think it was the
House of Alms that sent out this quest.
So if we want to accept it, we just go to your Guild or how we
do that. Or any job posting.
There should be correspondence on each letter and who you
should report back to if you were to accept a job or if
you've completed or have any information on active jobs.
Oh, that's right, We got to see that guy Gregory.
Sorry, I do not work with them hand to hand.
We each have our own stations that we are assigned to.
Right, listen, there are a lot of scared people here today, so
maybe just do your best to calm down, take them.
Appreciate y'all coming out. Depending on our actions here
tonight, there may be future jobs referring to this incident
here on how well we're about to handle it.
However, we keep an eye on the board if you wish to help us and
put some coin in your pocket as well.
OK, well keep my eye out and I'll let you know if anything
else happens while we're working on that quest down there this
week. You know, if there's anyone else
that are stuck in there, some people we should be on the
lookout for because we're going to be closing out this area for
the foreseeable future. No, Nobody else needs help.
I think everybody's going to be fine.
Mr. Du Marie and he goes to shake your hand.
Of course, what's your name? Name is Von Bin, Captain Von
Bin. Alright, Von Bin, good talking
to you. Wish I could be a bit more help.
Wish I could have gotten one of them out of here so you could
get a better look, but. Any information is helpful until
next time and you see that he turns around and walks in deeper
and follows his men into the underbelly of Bolderis.
I'm. Gonna take a breather Aerovois.
And as he says breather, he lights another cigarette and
sits down on a rock, waiting for Mylan.
Mylan, you are in your hidey hole and Sonny has followed you.
So Milan's just rushing towards it, and he finally gets to his
hidey hole and he starts looking around to make sure everything's
OK and that there's any kind of damage in particular.
He's worried about his. He's of the meteor.
You go in and Sonny, sure enough, is following behind you.
He goes, wow, you got quite the Tigs here.
Talk about a hideout, OK? Well, didn't know you were
behind me. You see, she's dragging her cat
claws across the Obsidian walls. Be careful, be careful, be
careful. It's a little fragile, you know,
it's a little fragile. Yeah.
Anyways, the this is where I live.
Don't just forget where it is. Rushes past you.
Whoa, I see you got a lot of fabric.
You got a lot of empty jugs of milk, huh?
He's just looking at your empty bottles of milk that are laden
everywhere. I feel very exposed right now.
This is this. Is cool.
OK, We, we should go. We should go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's trying to, like, grab
her and, like, show her out the door.
Why is it so quiet in here? It is pretty quiet.
It is pretty awesome. I.
Bet you get some great sleep in here, huh?
Yeah. You know, I, I sleep over here.
And he gestures over to where his bed is, where the stone is
right above it. That's a little weird.
And you see that it's like she's like poking at the ceiling above
where you sleep. No, no, no, no.
OK, OK, OK, Now things are too real.
But yeah, so I think I'm going to get this out of here.
I don't like it in here anymore. It's kind of like the only thing
that's kind of valuable in here, other than the space itself,
which I mean, look at this. It's not going to go anywhere
but this. She walks over to your stuff to
see what, like yeah, you got any snacks in here and steps on your
tail on accident? OK, OK, this is this is too
real, too much. I'm used to silence and and and
calm and he's starting to panic a little bit and he's starting
to kind of slowly freak out because the things that just
attacked him someone's in his home.
He's kind of starting to have the beginning stages of a panic
attack. OK, OK, we just we just got to
we just got to we just got to move.
We just got to move. We got to keep moving and but
it's nice in here. It's okay, he's got.
Real nice in here. Does anybody else know about
this spot? No, no, no one, no 1.
So no one knows about it. Only you and if anyone ever does
anything to it. Oh, I'm like a steel trap.
Any secrets you tell me A and leaving it, it's under lock and
key. No amount of torture can ever
make me spill a secret of a friend.
And she winks at you. He's like itching his paw and
he's like kind of squirming and not because of like he was doing
it before this happened. And he's just kind of like about
ready to kind of burst at the seams from all of his feelings
and emotions that he has. As he's kind of about to burst
at the seams, he takes his hand, his left hand, and he presses it
onto his chest and starts kind of rubbing his chest in.
This aura comes out around him. It's not enough to be super
noticeable, but it's just something that's happening and
he casts a spell and it's calm emotions.
Casts calm emotions on yourself. The way it technically works is
that it's supposed to stop it. Charmed and frightened spells
the end and suppresses any effects that deal with that, but
I'm just doing it to calm himself.
You can absolutely use that for your attention.
Yeah, absolutely. But it also does anything in a
20 foot radius from me so she is has to make a Christmas saving
throw or be affected. You see she's not as eccentric
or as excited and just kind of like looks around unnoticing to
what is going on. She goes.
It's a pretty rad spot, Mylan. Yeah, it's pretty nice.
You'll hideaway from the world here.
It's pretty, it's pretty great. And he's kind of finally
settling down and as he kind of plops down.
Milk is kind of spoiled though, you should probably get rid of
those. Yeah, OK, I gotta take it out.
And he's kind of slowly starting to like, calm down, but his
adrenaline's been going this whole time and he's slowly
starting to wear off. He's getting a little cold, so
he gets kind of under the blankets.
But yeah, this is it. Just no one knows it's you.
You're the only one who knows. And as he just kind of fully
calmed down at this point. Yeah, it's a pretty great spot.
It's good to know she's like looking left to right as she
explores the tiny space. So what do you need in here?
That and he kind of loosely takes his hand out from under
the covers and points right above him and it's just the rock
that's embedded above his bed from the media fragment that he
found. It's kind of stuck in there.
Yeah, you have a good way of getting it out or.
Something to cut through Obsidian?
No way. Yeah, worried about that.
Well, maybe it's OK for now, but.
And he kind of is like fumbling through his bag at this point
just trying to figure out if he's got anything and he
doesn't. So you're gonna like stay here
for the night or stay here with those things around?
No, no, no, no, no, no. We gotta, we gotta get back.
Yeah. We were straight.
And he, he realizes that we need to get moving.
OK. I think this is safe.
I think this is fine. I mean, and he tries to claw at
the fragment, you know, a few more times and it's obviously
stuck in there. He's like, you know, we, we come
back, we come back, you know, we get some sleep, we come back and
then figure this out. Yeah, OK.
Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. And as as they're getting ready
to leave, he realizes, OK, wait, so you know where I live?
So where you live? I live right under everyone's
noses and she boops yours. No, I live under everyone's
noses. I'm in the mind.
Where do you live? Well.
Right here as she points to your chest.
No, no, no, no. That's not how you do it.
You do it this way. And he goes and he warp propels
her across the room and as he touches her.
How'd you do that? Oh, you can't do that.
No, no, I could do this though. And you?
She opens her hand and she has your pound symbol charm that was
on your sash in between two of her fingers.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, she's like holding it away from you, arm outstretched.
OK, hold on. And if calm emotions wasn't
going on right now, he would be. Freaking out.
So he's, he's very conflicted at this moment, but he's like,
please. Watch this, Watch this.
She holds it to you, her hand turns, it's gone, shows her
other hand, and then pulls it out from behind your ear.
OK. Can we can we do this for
something else, please? That's very.
She hands it back to you. See, I'm magical too.
OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wiggles her fingers at you. OK, we're just going to keep you
at arm's length. Got it.
Understood. And he checks all of his pockets
and does a double check on everything.
OK, I got this. I got that.
All right. I didn't take anything.
Else. Hang on.
I ate that scroll. And are you aware of it?
I still have my oranges. Do I got my oranges?
Wait, I have three oranges. Wait, I ate one.
OK, Wait. No.
Yep. OK.
And these ghosts to leave. And you 2 leave and meet up with
Boram. On the way out of the
underbelly, you notice that some of these House of Arms members
are setting up a security point around the blast site.
And you also hear that they are slowly getting people who have
remained in the underbelly out of the underbelly as they are
going to lock down that area. Hey Milan, what took you so
long? Ohh just, you know, just he's
really calm still. Ohh, it's been a day, you know?
Yeah, sure is what you say, Sonny.
You wanna have a bit of a sleepover, Milan?
What do I? Come on you 2, let's get going.
You ever make a pillow for it as they're walking towards the
stacks? Mylan's very slow, so Berm's
going to have to pick him up. Yeah, he picks him up and like,
puts him on his shoulders. It's just, you know, it's just
it's rough down there, man. Yeah, sure is.
You seem calm. It's.
Kind of crazy, you know, spider things coming in tech and
you're, you're where you live, man.
Orim, when you make it back to your place, you've noticed
something about your door. It looks slightly weird to you,
as if it was open and not closed by you.
Goodness. Get the feeling again that
somebody had possibly tried to enter your level without your
permission. This gonna be happening about
every week now. Goodness.
Look in the apartment, you make your security checks, you round
your corners and you notice that there's a note on the table and
it's next to 2 bottles. There's an empty bottle that
you've had with your sister's brew in there and there's a
smashed bottle on there that had yours, the ones that you brew,
and there's a little note. All right man, and show around.
All right, I got to read something.
Oh yeah, this is the rod we do not touch.
This is the formula. Let me read it off to you.
And he starts reading off everything.
The note is a quick little simple sentence signed by
Newella says Let me know the next time you have more of the
good stuff. And over here is the room we do
not go in. It's scary.
Have you heard of a bath before? She just trying to annoy me.
Kind of funny, though. He tucks it away in his lab coat
and. This is the table we eat beans
in. Beans are great.
It is. I'll make something all right, a
little midnight snack, and Bora will make some snacks for them
and he'll teach them how to like, make pillow forts and
stuff on his bed before working at his own desk and kind of
passing out. Midnight snack.
OK, did not know that this was the thing.
And these three of you have a little slumber party as Boram
adopts 2 kids. Amazing.
We are officially going to turn to the 10th of Caithorne, moving
back over to Vivian's estate. Morning bells have rung and
breakfast is served. Castle and Vivian, you are
awoken to Beaufort. Sounds of breakfast being made.
Lady Sharma, it is time for you to come down most properly as
your father will be here quite soon.
Of course Beaufort, Vivian's going to put on her most
gaudiest ugly dress to seek Father's approval and pray that
my little boat ram do not come back.
Lady Shermont, you look as beautiful as ever.
It is my encouragement though that castle is perhaps not seen
while you're her father is here, but I'll leave that decision to
you. And it gives like the slowest
wink possible. I mean, Castle's fine being
here, it's OK I think unless Caswell you want to get out of
jail free card. You know what, I actually have
some stuff I got to take care of in town, so.
OK, yeah, that sounds great, Vivian says.
Caswell, as you make your way towards the door, trying to get
out of this, a knock is heard. No, fuck.
Very, very abruptly as the door opens without waiting for
permission to enter. I I try to stand like I'm out of
tension at the door, like as fast as I can, Vivian.
Quickly hushed by his words, looking up two feet stuck
together, prompt up holding himself by his elegant cane,
looks up at castle. He goes.
Mr. Amberly, what a pleasant surprise.
Yes, I was. Keeping guard.
Good morning. Interesting.
Just early in the morning. Yes, of course.
I've been allowing Castle to stay here, father as he is from
out of town and still looking for a place to stay, but today
we are going to try to find him some nice quarters.
But as he is my hired help, there's nowhere else in the city
that is appropriate for a hired hand to stay.
Figured, you know, as a great wise man, understanding the Fae
and how we do things, protection is obviously very important to
us in the Church of Sahin. So I just figured I'd take my
duties and responsibilities very seriously.
As well as you should, Mr. Amber Leaf, and I applaud you for it.
Now please, if you would join us, I have a few questions.
Or Vivian and you see that like. His gaze shifts over to Vivian
as he checks out the gaudy dress and in disgusted approval ushers
the two of you to go inside as Buford is already laying out the
tee for the three of you. And as he goes to sit Wilford.
Sherman is already bringing it to his lips, crosses his leg
over the other and sets his cane on to the side of the table that
is has this big huge gem that is just glistening from the
sunlight breaking into the window, almost blinding the two
of you. What?
A lovely cane you bought, Father.
Why is it so bright? It's just a typical morning
cane, nothing to be damaged with, but thank you for your
compliment. You're welcome.
Vivian, I have a very important question for you.
Oh. Yes, of course.
What is it? See, I just want to know because
you're so good at looking for things, is where you find your
audacity to leave Balderas against my best wishes for you.
I specifically told you to not leave the city and you leave
within days of that. Simple.
Instruction. Father, I didn't leave the city.
I was avoiding you because I was angry.
Avoiding me, your father. I'm sorry I was angry with you,
so I was avoiding you in town, but I didn't leave Balderas.
And what do we do with anger? We've had specific instructions
on how to deal with your micro aggressions towards me.
Would you care to rejog my memory, Father?
You journal and you suck it up. I do journal quite a bit and I
was just very angry so I needed a few days of silence and
respite so I wouldn't be rude to anybody.
I have a lot to learn before I am to be a part of a new big
family. I was very angry too, and thus
when a father is angry with their daughter, they get
punished like 1. So since Ophelia and Charles did
not seem to be looking out for your best interests, I have
reassigned them their main home and you now have Beaufort Here,
as you so wonderfully discovered for yourself, is quite the loyal
servant. Thank you, Master Shabbat.
I appreciate that. And you see that he has like a
little tear in his eye. He's very good at enforcing all
94 rules. 7797 rules. 97 there, we went up a few since the other
day. That's OK.
Lovely. I like that the rules are being
added instead of subtracted with age.
That's amazing. Now could I ask?
Or Ophelia? Are Philia and Charles OK?
Of course they're OK. I'm not a monster.
I take very good care of my help, don't I?
Beaver? Yes.
But, Lord Shaman, yes you do.
Who are they stationed with? Of course they're stationed
well, they have their own quotas.
I think. I can't house my own help.
I was just making sure you weren't taking any more anger
out on them than necessary. Oh no, I just reassigned them.
Please. My aggressions or punishment has
nothing to do with them. It's towards you because you
disobeyed a direct order from me and there is more to come.
I am cutting your allowance by half.
All household expenses shall be approved by me.
So you're saying I have 0 control of my life?
You are shamans and once you are married, you are his
responsibility. OK, He shall take care of you
wonderfully and beautifully and I know you will be on your best
care, but you represent the Shamas.
We all have to live a very specific way to uphold our
family's great name. You may see this as punishment,
but it is a blessing that many, many, many people would die for
just for a fraction of what we have.
Your great grandfather and grandfathers before him did not
work this hard, so we can spoil it all the way.
You need to be appreciative of their sacrifice so that we may
live and enjoy our comfort. They have sacrificed so much so
that we may live comfortably. It is what they've wanted.
These rules are not to punish you, it's to protect us.
It's to protect you. Right, OK.
And what if I said no? Well, you can't, so that's that
OK. Well then, one thing I will
request is that in my time left before the marriage, I can
assemble a team that helps me with my things day-to-day so I
can practice and learn things. Well, we've always assigned you
the best scholars for your education.
I'm not talking about scholars, I'm talking about hired help
similar to CASL. The eyes casl.
Well, I do approve of casl. I will say it's one of your
better orbs of judgement. And I do believe that Lord
Bushmont will approve of his presence.
I mean he seems of high ability, he's travelled quite a long
ways, full of knowledge and clearly can prove himself.
Seems like he can prove himself combat.
Yes, he can. Well, you know how St. your
Guild food is. Now, would I be able to bring
Kazil and two other companions with me on the 15th?
Companions. Yes, they help.
They are like hired help. No.
Why not? Are you out of your mind?
This is a highly esteemed dinner party where you are becoming
more familiar with your patrols. Now of course, Castle's going to
come in attendance for your protection, but he is not a
guest. And now Mr. Emily, please do not
take this any disrespect as you are welcome, but welcome.
As for protective? Of course, of course.
But to come as a guest would elude such illicit acts, and you
see that he shivers in place. May I have a guest list to see
who I'll be talking to so I can prep some points in advance?
Of course, of course, Buford, of course, Lord Shaban, I will
bring that to our quarters at both days.
Thank you, but to bring other. Who could you possibly once we
invite that we would have already invited worthy to be
with an Amanda? Well, maybe you wouldn't agree
to it, so never mind. I, I, I, I lead out that you see
these Snickers to yourself and then takes another long sip of
tea. Right.
So with that, is there anything else you need, Father, before we
go find Castle, some living quarters that are more suitable?
Yes, I wanted to know what you were doing while you were
exciting for me. These little games need to stop
and I just want to know what you've been up to.
Do I need to worry about anything?
Is anyone going to ask me any questions they should know
about? Am I going to get another visit
from, I don't know, the city's most esteemed member?
I don't believe so. I did not leave town.
I went to find an alchemist who can help me with perfumes and
potions, and I found a friend who needs some learning and I'm
teaching him how to read as a part of a program of teaching
young underprivileged children how to read, and Caswell has
been accompanying. How nice of you, but we should
leave that to the Boulders education system.
Not one of the esteemed ladies of the Charmont family, I.
Think it was a great idea. I think you are forgetting your
place, Vivian. As a ward.
Yes, as a ward. But didn't you take me in as an
adopted child? So wouldn't it be nice to give
back to the community that has orphans and such?
Space and check. I can't give a help action.
If you say something and add to the conversation, you absolutely
can. Yes, of course.
It's like a Big Brother program where, trust me, the person
she's been working with is extremely difficult.
And as she's yielded great results, Borem sneezes talking
about myelin. But yeah, I.
Thought it was a slight on borem.
It was one of. Us and I was like wait am I
putting it together all of a sudden I.
Got a net 1 and I got a 2 so I rolled an.
Edge. Oh, wait.
You know what I'm going to use? I want to use my Kickstarter
dice. Oh, OK.
On this On this you. Use your automatic success,
which is a natural 20 Kickstarter die that you get one
per campaign. I am marking it off Vivian.
It is not common when you have such a spectacular idea and
usually ha seems like decades apart, but this this is one of
your better ideas. Thank you.
Well, you see, he gets up. He begins to pace orphans,
helping orphans by the Charmans. It's a great business to go
into. It could give me something to do
since, well, Guilford is very eccentric and there will really
be nothing to do. We shall let the city of
Bonaires know that we are helping more orphans, proving
that one of our orphans that we have taken in is giving back to
the community. I can see it now.
Yes, this will be great charity work.
This will bring in a lot of nobles.
This will bring a lot of esteemed individuals, business
heads, donations, endorsements. Yes, Vivian goes over to you and
lightly touches your shoulders with his head.
I could hug you. I'm not, but I could.
And this is one of your better ideas.
I am proud adjacent of you. I will be in communication with
you. Thank you so much, Buford.
Keep up with your good work. Little tear goes down Beaufort's
face and he makes his way towards the door.
Vivian turns and walks out as close as you're going to get to.
Goodbye. OK, goodbye.
Well, you know what? That's the most affection I've
received from him in my life. So that's a win, I guess.
Thank you, Kazel. That was great.
Yeah, yeah, no problem. It's just he sucks.
Vivian's going to try to whisper very casually to Kazel and go,
yeah, can you help me fake my death?
No. OK.
Maybe. Maybe.
Yeah, I don't. Know we'll talk about it.
OK, let's get the other two on board.
What have we whispered about? We're whispering how much we
love you, Beaufort. Yeah, yeah, Gronk.
I mean, Beaufort, you're the best.
I appreciate you too as well. I really feel like I'm coming,
part of this family. Yeah, totally.
I'm going to go change and Kazzle, let's go find you
somewhere to stay. I think Silver Hoof is fine to
stay here if you'd like. OK, Yep.
Oh, Lady Sharma, I have some concerns about the noble steeds
in our stable. Why?
It seems that this third horse is a little more problematic
than I anticipated. We're going to figure that out
today, too. We don't know what to do with
that one. We just don't want it to be turn
into glue, you know, so. Well, he seems to be appearing
in places he shouldn't be. What do you mean?
Well, one moment he's in the stable, I'm feeding, washing,
changing his shoes. Next minute he's in the.
Foyer of the house. He just teleports.
I mean, I blink, I'm washing his beautiful coat.
Turn around, he's out there, foyer soaking wet.
Okay, we'll go get that alchemist and my student, and
we'll go figure out what's going on with that horse.
OK. I'd really appreciate it if he
could. I don't know, stays in one spot,
fair blue, the stable. Yeah, understandable.
DRY do that too. And I can't prove it, but I'm
pretty sure he stole my Wellington one day I turned
around, the Wellington was gone and I hear happy horse noises.
There's a lot of bread crumbs and mushrooms spreading laden
throughout the stable. No Wellington, but those are two
primary ingredients in a Wellington that I've seen in a
stable. Just a little weird.
Yeah, just a little weird. Oh, OK, we're going to go look
into that. I'm going to go get changed now
and we'll go horse wrangle. Will you be back for lunch,
milady? Probably not.
Maybe dinner? How about that?
Of course, milady, see Buford walks off, I can catch my show
and then he walks off into the house.
And I like got awful dressed on her normal attire and meeting
Castle back downstairs, right? Should we go find the other two,
see how they're doing? Yeah, I actually did have
something I need to take care of in town as well.
That wasn't like just a lie. But yeah, we can go check for
them as well, try to find out where they are.
We could stop to do your thing first if you'd like.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's on the way to Borams anyway.
So yeah, that's that should be fun.
All right, let's go. The two of you will make your
way over to the Stacks Castle. What is it you would like to do
on your way over? There, I want to stop at the
blacksmith and pick up that armor that I ordered, the
nonchalant Incognito armor. You head over to the blacksmith.
I believe this is just the layaway order that was prepared
on a certain date from before you left town.
So you go there, you have your exchange, you check out the
armor and sure enough, it's exactly as specified.
You see, that resembles your current armor and decision
sigils that you honor and wear are much more subtle to the
point where if you're having a face to face conversation with
somebody, they can notice your sigils that you are wearing.
However, if somebody was trying to say, spy on you from far
away, you would not be able to see these as they are easily
hidden by cloaks or just small enough where somebody would
really need like a powerful telescope or something to
enhance their sight to really appreciate and examine these
little subtle details. OK.
You're perfect, OK. And Kassel just kind of thinks
to himself, I'll probably just put this on when we get to
Borems, but I'm ready. We can.
We can head over there. Looks super cool.
OK, let's go. As we go over to Borems place
and you see that Mylan and Sunny are in Borems apartment and it's
a bit more messy than what it was as the two of them seem to
be enjoying it, or at least Sunny is enjoying herself.
Either. Beans.
That's great. Yeah, Marlin, you wake up to the
smell of beans and bacon and porridge.
Instantly clamors up to a a seat ready to go.
Going to Marlin, you're actually sleeping pretty OK last night.
You know, it was, it was OK, It's fine.
Don't. You're calm.
Yeah, so food help. Your plate's already there.
Nope. How about it?
He? Starts going to town on it.
Wait, now he has poor manners. Does Milan have to do his thing?
He does. Please roll me a constitutional
saving throw over DC-16 to let me know if you have exhaustion.
15. You fail still have one point
of. This.
You know what? As he kind of finishes his last
bite that he scarfed down this thing, it's not very nice.
It always pokes me when I'm sleeping.
What? You mean what's not nice?
It's just look at it. The dog.
And then look, I throw it on the ground and then within just a
few minutes, boom, pokes me in my side and it's here again.
What's going on? Oh, I hope this thing wasn't
cursed. Cursed, Cursed.
Oh, it's like bad evil magic to take hold of you and give you a
bad juju I. Kind of talked to Kazel about
this. He he does magic.
You don't do magic. Maybe actually not really good
at getting rid of curses. And actually as you see Bohrum
holding the doll you you notice that his sleeves are rolled up
and his veins look almost black. Maybe it was like that before,
but now it's noticeable that his veins are kind of dark and and
almost blackened. I know all too well about that.
Well, at least not knowing how to get rid of them.
Maybe we throw this away or you want to keep it and keep casting
those spells. Here, watch.
Just throw it on the ground. OK, tossed on the ground.
You'll see it's going to just be right next to me soon.
I don't know. I don't.
I don't know how it does it we. Stare there for 5 minutes at
this doll not moving. And then the moment I'm like,
hey, what's up with that? That's not normal.
What's up Any points to the veins?
Oh, it's, it's fine. That's not fine.
The problem I caused myself a while ago.
Castle Vivian. You may enter whenever you're
ready. You're.
Going to win. I'm actually going to test this
out. Castle Walk straight in.
Yeah. Good morning, everybody.
You don't just walk into somebody's mazon.
What? Do you?
Mean Castle, you wouldn't believe what happened and Sonny
runs up to you. As well what what happened you?
Guys, OK. You were in the mines last
night. The underbelly of the city
didn't happen. A large explosion.
The spider like creatures came clawing out, but I slashed it
away. I killed 10.
Did she? Yeah.
And look at Boram. I just shake my head behind her.
It was dead on the floor. It was like she's doing like all
these blood spurt motions and it was like shriveling up and it
was like on its back and it was all like.
And you did a really good job protecting Mylan.
I did. I was like you, Castle.
I was a hero. Great job, son.
Vivian's going to Crouch down to Sonny and pat her head and go.
Good job taking care of her friends, Sonny.
You're a real good member of the team.
Member of the team. Yeah, you're a member of us now.
And I pat her on the head as I go over to my workshop.
And you really might be, because I'm now going to be known for
taking an orphan. Mylan, you're not my orphan.
As that happens, Mylan gets poked in the side and flies off
his chair as the doll appears back to him.
What? Orphan?
Not orphan. Not anymore.
I mean, you could be for all we know.
Or says to himself. Who should be?
Well, now I am your tutor because my father came over this
morning and and I convinced him with Kassel that I have an
alchemist friend and I am taking care of orphans as a orphan.
Convinced him I am literally your alchemist friend.
What you talking about? Yeah.
So I'm trying to get you guys into this party that I'm in, I'm
getting. Get us in.
There you go. I'm getting this list, so maybe
you can disguise yourself as someone.
Maybe we've got to knock somebody out.
I'll disguise myself as whatever you need if I get to go to a
fancy party. Kassel is on board as security.
OK, so you want a you want a sexy date.
Sorry, what? I could be your date.
No, see, unfortunately I have to work that thing.
Oh, right, right. Smiling.
So pretty much an orphan is like when your parents don't like you
or they're dead. OK, it's not that they don't
like you. And who's tutoring?
I don't understand who's Tooting.
Tutoring is like torture. It's just like they force you to
listen to stuff. You just don't want to hear it.
It just. Yeah, torture.
Yeah, yeah. You like tutoring?
Don't listen to her, Sunny. I've been tutoring him already.
What? You don't need no more tutoring.
Oh. Well I I struck a deal with my
father that went out the Charmas are going to be known for taking
an orphans. Well, I'm probably going to have
to have some promo or something. Well, then you deal with that
and you see Bo Ram's like putting a syringe in his vein
and he's pulling out some of his own blood and he's doing some
work while you guys are talking. What?
Are you doing Bo Ram? He's are you?
What is? What are you?
Doing, you said. You didn't do things, but
children are out. This is this very normal.
Drawing blood with drugs. I ain't doing drugs, Sunny.
We talked about this. Don't go tell people that,
sugar. I saw you talking to one of the
people on the street, telling them a lie.
I don't do that is. Going to look over at Castle is.
He. Doing Castle, Shakes said.
I have no idea. Yeah, then why are your veins
all black like that? Hey, listen, don't worry about
it, it's fine, I'll be fine. And he put some vials of his
blood in this little spinner and kind of set something up.
All right, well, I'm ready to go for the day as he rolls his
sleeves back down. I didn't expect y'all to show up
though. What's going on here?
We came to find you guys 'cause Kazzle's getting kicked out.
Oh, that? That's not good.
And I'm trying to find ways to get out because now I have even
more rules and if you guys want to help me fake my death that'd
be kind of cool so I can get out.
But no I. Don't know, it's kind of a silly
idea, Casas said. We could talk about it well.
I'm sorry, what's silly about that?
Casas looks for him and shakes his head.
Yeah, I'm just like staring straight at like my left
eyebrows passed his head into the sky.
He's like, what is he? What's he talking about?
I think we all got a lot of things going on here today.
One, one thing of business should definitely be we wanted
to go work in the mines. Also the mines exploded.
Oh, did you hear about that already?
Yeah, we was there. Oh yeah, crazy creatures.
And he pulls out his notebook and kind of hands it over to
Vivian as he's getting his life put on.
Oh, yeah. Not party.
Maybe we all should split up too often.
Were you guys OK fighting? It wasn't great.
I'm not sure that's the things we're going to be fighting down
there, but it might be something to worry about.
I got to get us the job first. That's what I'm going out to do
today. And then I got to go talk to one
of my friends from the underdog, see if they know about this
sounds. Like a plan.
Oh, oh, y'all coming? Yeah, because everybody just
follow me. No, I'm just kind of busy.
I got to go talk to my friends and he's, you know, I got to go
talk to pile man, make sure he's OK.
I haven't seen him, you know what I mean?
A little bit. So I'm just going to go there
right now. And he jumps off his stool.
What's your got? In your mouth, Are you eating
something? Vivian took a scoop of Mylan's
food. Yeah, I'm all hungry.
I didn't need anything. Mylan is clawing up to try to
take it out of your mouth. No, that's mine.
You get back. Vivian swallows it aggressively.
No give back. Oran puts a sausage in Mylan's
hand and like, carries him out. And he shakes it in front of
Vivian's face. That's mine.
All right, follow me. Let's get on with the day.
To pile my. By the way, pile my teleports,
apparently. Walking talk, please.
What's up his ass today? He's waiting at the door for
everybody to get out of his damn house.
He locks it up and then he's like a little like grumpy now as
he's walking behind Y'all we're. All going to live together.
You got to get used to us being around you.
Live together. I don't want anybody living
together with me anytime except for you.
You OK? And I point to Sunny in my own.
You too. Fine.
Oh, OK, so I come back. Yeah, of course, anytime.
You hide out fucking a lot of hideouts recently like this.
All right, what's going on with Piomi?
He needs his chocolate milk. OK, well, we'll look into that.
That could be bad for horses. Yeah, he apparently just
teleports around the property whenever something's going on.
What Buford was washing π O Mai totally fine.
And then next thing π O Mai was in the foyer and left wet water.
Stole his beef Wellington, which I think is funny, so that's OK
But yeah π O Mai just teleports. Don't know what to do about
that. As the four of you are walking
out from Bo Rams level in the stacks, you turn the corner.
You're about to pass Ivory Shop. Walking out of Ivory Shop, as
you are about about to turn the corner or you notice 2 very
familiar faces, faces you do not want to see, you stop.
As you see Ivory is escorting out to half orcs.
I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't seen nobody
here with that type of hairstyle or that's weird twangy southern
accent. So I really think you guys
should be getting going. Or immediately cast the sky
self. Hey, listen, listen here, you
big old sack of bones, you see that?
He pushes. Hey, listen, if you keep doing
that, I'm a Semite, whatever is planned at you, you're not going
to like what happens if you keep pushing my bones like that.
Listen, if you see that good for nothing, little toad, you let us
know and I'll tell you what, we'll even make it worth your
while. And maybe not pulverize you as
he shoves his big orc finger right up against the no socket
of Ivory Ossian. And that is where we're going to
end this week's session. Bull Ram is starting more
trouble. What a shocker.
I. Did not not nothing.
I don't know what you talking about.
Hates us. He's just not used to people
being up in his business like this.
That was fun. Good session.
A lot of little things happened. A lot of little things happened.
We're playing off my. Potatoes.
Sorry, I kind of forgot that we I shouldn't eat while we're
recording. There you go.
As long as it's not, you know, crunching, you know?
Yeah, so I ate Mylan's food. Says the guy that spent half an
episode munching as a horse. That's different.
That's in character. All right, y'all, well, thanks,
Thanks for. Joining us, we got two things on
the board. Vivian used her a Kickstarter
die and Mylan got the first Net 20.
And I think Vivian deserves a cool moment for the episode for
using the Kickstarter. Diane's such a silly thing.
It's not a silly thing. It wound up to be like, really
cool. It's a goofy ass thing for sure.
I'm going to regret this later. Yeah, I got a Vivian Starts
orphanage outreach funded by Charmont family.
This will not bite you in the back later on.
This will not. Keep stacking on stuff to the
whole pile. I'm trying to detach myself from
this family start scholarship for underprivileged kids.
I got to look good. I got to dethrone them.
Vivian's got to. Take over, Vivian.
It's a cool moment. It's been voted in.
I mean, Ball Graham started the orphanage himself and I'm just
making it official. He made it on the side
unintentionally. Vivian just putting it on
paperwork. Borib's going to have a softball
team by the end of the campaign. I'm seeing it.
Now. Oh my God.
You've been a softball coach just like me.
Congratulations, you're the mom trope of the group.
Congrats all. Right.
Have I got any recommendations though?
I've just been watching something recently and it's
pretty good. I don't know if you guys have
seen it. It's called The Pit, yeah.
Yeah, that dude shows. Great.
Sounds great. So it's so good.
It's about a Pittsburgh emergency room like in the
hospital and it's kind of like a throwback how like each episode
is an hour of the day. So one season is like a day.
So it's kind of like 24 the show back in the day.
Do they talk like they're from Pittsburgh?
Like can you hear the yinzer accent?
So it's really funny you say that because there is something
in Season 2, one of the nurses, she has an accent and I feel
like it's supposed to be like a Pittsburgh accent.
Oh yeah, we're going downtown. Yeah.
So get out the house. Yeah.
So I'd be very curious to see what your opinion of that is, to
see how. Accurate it is for those who
don't know. Like my whole family is from
Pittsburgh. So yeah, I would have no idea
how accurate it is, but. I got to watch this show just
for that. It's.
Pretty good. It has the guy from like the
Magicians. Oh no, the librarian.
I'm sorry. It's pretty good.
If you get a chance, check it out.
Yeah, it's a good wreck. All right, let's go ahead and
spin that wheel. You know it.
All right, Kylie, let me know when.
When? Hey, we're coming around 1/4
ago. Best the biggest license going
into the small sizes. Going about the golden biggest.
It still counts though. It landed on the DND four O 4
space, which is something we've all agreed on before.
Soup. Join with me are the other three
Willem Dafoe movies starting with Whoever.
Yeah, Defoe, Death Note is that. Don't you dare.
That is what we wrote. In that might have been ages
ago. It has been stuck in this.
I don't know if I remember that. I remember this conversation.
We did agree upon William Defoe. Yeah, it was William.
And right now, we're going to decide what the next one is.
Soups. This is the first question I
ever received when I walked in here from Jared is what is chili
a soup? Which which the answer is yes.
All right, everybody, thank you for joining us.
We are going to give our most Vivian's dad.
Goodbye. That'll do.
I am proud of Jason. In the dawn of time, within the
cinders of burning ashes, kindled by legendary warriors,
burning spirits, lay those who remain in the cold, cooling
embers of the shadows. As the world is born, burned,
and renewed. There are a few whose legacy
transcends stories and fables, their legacies etched in the
very fabric of human history. They are known as the Shadow
Smugglers, Annie, the Master of Weapons, the Dread and Hunter,
scholar, gentleman and Adventurer, the Jiff Gunslinger,
Alistar Jacobs. Next, all the Bloodshot Bandits,
those who get the job done, called in when armies and heroes
fail. The Bloodshot Bandits arrive
with fierce confidence and triumphant power.
For when the Bloodshot Bandits arrive, foes fall and the only
thing that remains is the enemy's hushed whispers of their
regrets. They are Artemis, the fighter
and guardian of Kimmy Joe, Lord Drama of the highest of elves,
master of the finest fineries this side of Umbrella.
Next is the rogue changing Sly that we have Knock Mark Novo's
biggest competition, followed by Brandy Woodburner, the wine
wielding wood elf. Then we have Gloric
Nightbreaker, the dwarven fighter, a party Lightbringer
Elvin, cleric of the Corolla Larethian, the Purple Hermits
has entered the battlefield. Then we have Jason Hall and the
mighty Lay Nuding. And as the bells harbor anew we
have the Sige College alumni, the scholars and stewards of
Knowledge and the Heralds of the future.
They open new paths of future heroes using the keys of the
past. These alumni are Mongol the Yeti
giant, Sergio the retired knight, Punk the Vagabond board
and Chartreuse Charlie Vexshade the gnome sorcerer, Isaiah Crane
the architect of. Fall.
Iris Incendis, the Fire Ganassi, impulsive and angers quickly.
And lastly, Joe Brosnan. He's a cool dude.
And last but not least, Humbraea's heroes.
We have Man with Glass, Jesus the Frost Von Dragon Warlock,
Johnny Tarr, John Carroll, Haunt the Iron Hammer, Drown the
Barbarian mobster, Cypress David a copy bar Circle of the Forest
Druid, and then Beyond Battle Board, the bombastic Brigadier
Barbarian Half Fork. Now we have Morgarth the
Unbroken, Gad the lizard folk, Rune knight, Blick the warlock
who thinks he knows Asian French, Bree Carlson, Balazar
Turrath, the Elgarth Knight of Ragan, born Brahm, Iron Spood,
the battle hardened half walk, a barbarian with an unbreakable
appetite for glory, not a stupid goblin.
Scotty Williams and Salomon country and that's all we have
