Hello everybody, welcome back to Dean.
D4-O four. I am your DM Tony, join with me

anime, starting with the Fighting Evil by Moonlight
Jared. What's going on guys?
Mylan checking in. And my magical girl would
definitely be League of Legends Syndra.

I play her all the time. My favorite character.
Love her to death. Dan, what about you?
Everybody, my name is Dan, I play Beau Ram Dumore, your bog
frog Otifiser, and I am definitely the Susie Man
Bavarian of this podcast. What I.

Susie, is it you said Susie. Susie.
Susie Man, Bavarian from. Little Witch Academia.
From Little Witch Academia. Yeah, that's correct.
God, wait. What?
Yeah, the poison master. Very fitting for MO Ram Favor
witch from anime, she's the best.
Oh, I do know this character. You took my back up.
I took your back. Up.
You think I didn't take the main one?
Yeah. What about you, Kylie?
What's your main one? Hi, I'm Kylie.
I believe Vivian, Drama and my magical girl who I love more
than anything is Madoka from Madoka Magica.
She's the cutest and that show is so depressing and that's why
I love it. How about you, Alec?
Yeah, my name is Alec. I play Drell of Nope, I play I'm
really. And my magical girl is not only
the Straw Hat Pirate and Ego Robin.
I'm going to go with that. I think it counts because you
guys won't let me do this. I'll.
Allow it, I'll allow. It magic has.
She had magic, I thought she. Was no, Yeah, yeah.
It's a gun, gun power, which is technically magic.
It's a magical fruit. You eat it, and she's a magical.
Gum gun power first of all, God bro.
You're so annoying dude. I haven't got that far in the
enemy so things are ruining it for me.
Wow, good. Nice, nice.
What about you, Tony? My magical girl is my girl Botan
from Yu Yu Haka show. If you watch Yu Haka show, she's
amazing. She's the blue head magical girl
that helps you skate. I've never.
I'm nodding, but I've never watched it.
Moon prism power. Yeah, yeah, Yu Haka Show is an
amazing anime. You should definitely watch it
if you haven't watched it yet. No Mimi haka show.
Anyways, now you know the deal. Before we do the recap, we could
do the rundown. Today's rundown is brought to
you by Alec. And today's rundown is
definitely a call to action and this is what we're going to do.
So typically we take suggestions for the four of in the Discord,
but today in this episode only, we are going to pick one from
the comments of this episode. So go ahead, leave your four of
in the comments of this episode, wherever you're listening to it
on whatever platform. Kate, we're going to pick
randomly from 1:00 and we will do that one later.
And we will give you a shout out when we do it in the episode.
So go ahead and do it, please. You need the comments.
Thank you please. Speaking of Shout outs, who did
the four of this time? Yes, that was Artemis.
Thank you for the magical girls, are you?
Artimus, your favorite magical girl.
Now for the recap, last time on D and D4O4, Kassel and Vivian
are leaving the really fancy mansion and before they do,
Vivian decides to sneak up into her sister's forgotten room
where she discovers a jewelry box and inside is a brooch.
Back at the Four Eyed Owl, Boram tries to make up with Mylan by
giving him a little strawberry syrup into his milk.
Mylan then heads to the bathroom where he decides to go a little
schizophrenic and argue with himself.
Mylan then freaks out runs away. Boram chases after him as he
bumps into Vivian and Kassel heading back.
Kassel goes ahead and decides to head up to his room, where he is
then jumped by two mysterious assassins, which he quickly
obliterates, getting 2 back-to-back Nat 20 crits,
absolutely demolishing them. He finds a + 1 long sword which
is now equipped. That's cannon, can't change it.
Thank you. Mylan is then chased by Boram.
Boram definitely cannot catch up with him so Mylan escapes.
Vivian then decides to show for the first time ever Castle and
Boram her hideout which then we are introduced to Ophelia and
Charles. We left off with the Boram
leaving the hideout going out and looking for Mylan who is
currently in his hidey hole. Bard play that intro.
Disgraced in the heartland, a star could set things right,
manufacture the magical and return a solar light from a
scorched, fractured forest. The twilight in discourse.
Cleanse the rivers that bleed in the Swamp of the Seed and
Rimmers. Help us conquer the Shadow.
Done with the bright blue, we'll find where we belong.
But what will await us when all our secrets are gone?
This is Castle Amberly for the Fay Wild.
Come along as I explore. The world of urea.
Joining me is a not so sneaky rogue, a child in the form of a
dog and a big old Bayou. Pain in the ass.
This is Dean D4 O 4. Boyos Gurlow, welcome to session
15, where we pick up with our favorite fuzzy scared companion.
So Mylan, you had just scrapped with this floating eyeball the
hell like all these tendrils when you woke up and you were
just about to doze off in your hidey hole, which is once again
this small cave that you found to be your home, which is the
safest you have ever been. Nobody knows you're here and
nothing has ever followed you in here before.
And this is the first time something's ever been in here.
And it looked like it was trying to rob you.
After you were scrapping with this creature, this floating
eyeball, it disappeared within your cloak, this floating
cyclops like creature. And when you went to go pat your
shirt down, you were holding these fragments from the meteor
from the crash site when you were traveling a couple of
sessions back to Rock Head Homestead.
And it was glowing for a moment. And after staring at it, the
glow had dimmed out, but you still felt a presence within
those fragments. In one hand you have these
fragments that were just glowing with energy, and in the other
hand you have your Moon Touch sword that Cassel gave.
You with the moon touch, sword still in hand and glowing.
The whole cave is reflecting a simple red panda silhouette
everywhere. These aren't clear images, but
instead it's like staring into a darkened monitor that hasn't
been turned on yet. Mylan takes a minute and moves
from left to right before shouting out.
You lied to me when I was in Rocket Zone.
Instead I saw a calendar and I know how to count now.
I am not that old. As Milan continues to be
frustrated with himself and yelling directly into a Black
Mirror at the corner of his eyes he sees all of a sudden a
silhouette that isn't panda shaped.
It's tall, thinner, blurry like smoke pressed between glass.
No face, no details, just wrong. Not having another intruder,
Milan takes the moon touched sword and chucks it at the
image. The sword does not hit on
targeted, it hits just to the left of it, splintering a
perfect silhouette of a panda. The sound is huge in a tiny
space. This deafens Mylan's ears while
the blade clatters near his bed. With his paws on his ears, he
looks up to the damage the sword has created.
He realized that he missed and hit right above his bed and
ruining the perfect night sky that he looks at every night.
With his heart racing and vision fading to a fine point, he
starts clawing at the Obsidian like there's answers behind it.
I ran and I survived. I learned.
And as he keeps clawing like he's trying to get to this
serious silhouette that just happens to be 1 rock.
Further, as he keeps digging and digging, he realizes that he's
shaking more and more until he starts to slow to a crawl and
then moments later completely crashes to sleep in this cavity
that he's created just above his bed.
And there's Mylan curled up in a hole that he has created within
the Obsidian. And just in his right paw is the
star fragment as he falls asleep.
While Mylan sleeps, Mylan is slowly lifted up into the air,
unknowingly placed down into his bed, scattered with Obsidian
fragments all around it. Seamless and quiet, the cracked
Obsidian slowly begin to mend all of the damage, forming the
perfect night sky that Mylan is so used to looking at.
All of this would seem as though it never happened, except for
the glaring issue that is Right in the middle of the night sky.
The star fragment that was once in Mylan's hand is now embedded
into to the ceiling just above where he sleeps.
After a few moments the moon touched sword starts to fade.
The silver glow that was bouncing off the Obsidian walls
weakens and now completely fades out.
For a moment the hidey hole is back to how it should be,
completely dark. Then life shifts 1 by 1.
The reflections return, red pandas reform across the walls
like it's being sketched back into existence, all with the
same imperfections, watching and breathing, existing in perfect
sync. And then there's a face that
doesn't match. They don't have fur, don't have
scars, they don't even blur. Different from each other.
There are two of them now, Same outlines, same stillness, same
shadowy gaze not reflecting Mylan, reflecting each other.
Mylan jerks up after a very long night and feels very odd that
walls don't feel solid anymore. They feel optional as he levels
to Level 3. Cassel Vivian, As we we go over
to you, the 2 of you are in Vivian's hideout, which is, we
have learned, is her home, gifted to her by her lovely
lovely father to stay close by and called upon when needed and
to live comfortable but certainly out of trouble.
What are the two of you doing? Vivian's going to turn to Castle
and go. I don't know how long this is
going to be. If you want to wash up, you're
welcome to go upstairs. I'll stay down here and we'll
try to prepare some cots or something for everyone.
Yeah, that sounds good. What do I do with all this?
And casual holds up all the food that we took from your parents
house. Vivian's going to turn to
Ophelia and Charles and go. Ophelia, Charles, could you help
me put this in the kitchen, please?
Of course, my lady. Ophelia and Charles gather the
food that you've taken and they rush it off to the kitchen to
store it or prep it if the two of you are hungry.
Vivian, you do know that there are enough rooms in your home to
accommodate them. There are exactly three other
rooms in this estate that does not include Charles and
Ophelia's private Butler and maid's quarters.
Perfect, we'll make sure it's all comfortable and set for
everyone when they come by. Hopefully Beau Ram can find
Mylan or at least come back. Yeah, Caswell immediately goes,
and he's gonna go inspect the three rooms and pick the best
one. All the guest rooms are pretty
much the same. They all have a full size bed,
they all have dressers, and they all have like a rack to put
armor on, and they have two foot lockers each, as well as
wardrobes. They're pretty decent rooms.
Yeah, but like, is 1 like bigger with maybe a balcony or like a
bigger window? There's no balconies, but
there's one on an upper floor that gets the perfect view of
the rivers that run through Bolderas and overlooks the town
square. The best view in the house is
Vivians room that is above yours.
As you go to your room castle, we'll pick up from you what is
going through your mind because you did level up and you gained
the benefits of your level up. When you finish a long rest as
you settle in for the evening, What's going through castles,
mind? I think he hasn't really had a
chance to really think about everything that's happened
today. He was worried about the
assassins, obviously, from the Winter Court knowing, like,
where he is. But he does feel a little bit,
I, I would say reassured now that he is in a hideout.
But yeah, he's kind of thinking about his family.
He's thinking about, you know, all the reasons he's here on the
material plane. And he's worried.
He's worried for his family, you know, if there's assassins
coming from the fae all the way out to where he is in Hombrea,
he's wondering what that possibly means for his family
back home, you know, whether that's good or bad.
I think he's kind of just taking it all in in this moment.
And he's definitely looking to saheen in this moment in time of
prayer and focus. And he's trying to re establish
his goals and his morals and his belief and doing what's right
and standing up for people. And you know the reasons he
joined #1 the church and #2 became a paladin.
You feel incredibly comforted as you reflect on these thoughts,
and you feel very connected with your Goddess as you settle in
for the evening. And when you wake up tomorrow
morning, you will gain the benefits of a long rest and you
will gain your Level 3 subclass. Castle instantly goes to sleep
and wakes up again. Going over to Vivian, Vivian, as
you see Castle go off to and pick out his guest room.
What are you doing? Vivian's going to quickly turn
to Ophelia and Charles and go if one of you wouldn't mind keeping
an eye out for Beau Ram if it's a certain time of night, because
you just pull them back and we can all take shifts of waiting
up for Milan. Of course we will stand by
watching. We will leave the doors open for
his return if he should. I appreciate it so much and get
some rest when you can, of course.
And then she's going to beeline in it to her room.
You be alighted to your room as Charles and Ophelia go back to
their duties. What's going on in your room?
Vivian's going to finally pull out the brooch that she got, the
little cloud one from Woolen's room, and she's going to fiddle
with it. She hasn't seen this in years
and didn't think she'd ever see it again.
You're fiddling with the brooch and you're kind of rushing it.
You're really taking good care of it.
You're being very gentle with it and you're reminiscing on the
good times, the bad times and what could could have been.
Are you doing anything specific with the brooch?
She's going to hold it close and I'm going to whisper.
I don't care what happens, I'm going to come get you.
And she has fully resolved herself to find Willen.
She was initially, but now she doesn't care.
I feel a horrible hole in my chest that only she can fill,
but I feel her around me once again.
The night her soul was taken has changed me forever, and after
the scuffle I had with our father tonight, my drive to find
you has been renewed. Just like my parents have said,
it should have been me, not her. Maybe if I was taken she would
have found me by now. Willing is the most intelligent
person I know. I feel like she left her
matching brooch in her room on purpose to share her wisdom with
me and bring me closer to saving her.
I no longer care what the cost is.
I will get her back. Nothing can stop me and I will
use anyone and anything I can to bring her back no matter the
contract I have to make. And as you think this to
yourself, you feel that you have like this path forward and you
have met people who feel like can get you there.
Not only have you been trying to free yourself from your family's
grasp, you are making these connections with different
people and actually putting yourself out there.
And you feel like you've gotten their trust and you feel like
you can ask them to do something.
So you guys, you gain trust in them and they do seem capable in
some way. You have a knight, you have a
paladin currently in your home, and he has witnessed something
very personal to you, something that certainly the other two
didn't witness for how your father really looks at you and
treats you and. I think Vivian was so caught off
guard she didn't even realize that slipped in front of castle
yet. As you come to terms, you not
only realizing you have partners, you have assets that
can help you get you to your goal.
You feel like you can use them to your advantage and you do
feel confident and happy that you do have people that you can
rely on, but you also feel like you're scheming in a very
specific way to like. I have people with very unique
set of skills for all different situations.
I have a scrappy magical rodent friend, I have a knight who's
loyal and trustworthy, and I have someone who can whip
something up in a cinch and craft something I need that you
wouldn't be able to buy in a your everyday general market.
You turn in for the night and when you wake up, you will gain
the benefits of a long rest and your subclass.
And we will go over those 3 subclasses in just a minute on
what everyone took on their Level 3.
But we're going to go over to Boram in the middle of the city
late in the evening, jogging around looking for his furry
friend Marlon. Marlon.
Orem's walking around a little aimlessly, mainly through the
center of town where he last saw Mylan.
He's asking anyone that's out. It's not many.
There are crowds kind of dwindling at this point, but
he's asking anyone who will stop and actually talk to him if
they've seen anything about Mylan.
A little rodent guy or a little red panda guy?
No, lady, it's a it's a little red panda.
It's not like it's not like a rat.
I haven't seen your dog or your friend.
It's not a pet. I haven't seen them.
Wait, maybe you should keep them on a leash.
Animals along on leashes. Yeah, yeah.
All right. Make sure they're neutered.
Is he neutered? Did you get him spayed?
Something that. All right, you have a good
night. You're right.
And he's just looking and looking and looking.
Doesn't seem to be having luck finding where Mylan went because
he's very stealthy and very small, hard to spot.
And he kind of just finds his way to a bench in the Town
Center. He's leaning back, and he's kind
of just staring at the stars. What's the light pollution like?
It's a small city, medieval city, right?
There's probably not so much light pollution.
It's a good sized city but there is a lot of positive empty space
symbol there. It's like in the town square,
it's surrounded by this streams of rivers that kind of breakaway
and surround the town square. The town square doesn't have any
tall buildings within it because it's made to be set up and
broken down and for shows and entertainment to be displayed in
big meetings, right? So especially in the center of
the city, you can get a clearview of the sky.
There are lanterns that are lit up to light up the street, but
they do not affect the stars at all.
And specifically currently in Humbrea, because of the shooting
star that is always glowing the light, there is practically
almost no light pollution because that shooting star
definitely amplifies all the other stars in the sky as it
illuminates the night sky. Currently in Humbra you have
very bright nights. For the most part, unless it's
very cloudy or bad weather, you have like this very purplish
bluish night rather than a dark black night.
Or little guy, Maybe I'll find you tomorrow.
I hope we do. I hope that's not the last time
we saw you, little guy. All right.
Well, I'm not going. Back to that place, better get
going. And Bo Ram's ready to go back to
his own apartment because he hasn't been back there in days
and he's starting to feel anxious that he hasn't been back
there working on potions and such.
And he he kind of gets up and remembers that he probably needs
to be more careful than he's been shouting names in public
and does look around to see if anybody's been following him.
Give me your perception check. Bye.
You haven't noticed anybody that sticks out.
While you were asking, you didn't notice two people kind of
asking you for drugs or asking you where they can get their
next fix, and you kind of brush those people off.
They didn't badger you in any way, but you don't notice
anybody like following you. All right, well, I'm.
About to start heading back at least and he gets up and he
saunters towards stacks. Is there like a Tavern on the
way to the stacks? There are several.
There are many in Boldaris, one that you're kind of taking to.
So in the stacks there really aren't many Taverns, houses you
drink at because there's a big amalgamations of small houses
and apartments is the stacks, right?
But in the port side district there is a Tavern or bar that
you would frequent called Roosties.
Yeah, he's, he's not looking for something far.
He just pops into the first Tavern he sees.
Whatever small inn or something my.
Hideout isn't good enough for you?
I see how it is. Yeah, dude.
Wow. Bro the Frick.
Lizard, I'm going back now, hoarder, toward that place.
Holy way, Megan. Oh, that's amazing.
OK, so as you leave the Town Center, you go to the port side
district. There is a Tavern immediately
over the bridge when you go into the port side district and it's
called the Tiger's Left Tooth. He walks into the Tiger's left
tooth and he kind of walks in, opens the door and kind of like
walks turns backwards and still looking around.
Not feeling very confident in the night he simply asks A
barkeep for the bathroom and when he goes into the bathroom
he is going to cast the last spell he can of the day and cast
another disguised self. He turns into a generic elf,
maybe slightly shorter than him with some more raggedy garb St.
urchin type stuff that would make sense in the stacks, and he
exits without talking to anybody and walks back to the stacks as
this raggedy elf. So as you go to your apartment,
is there anything else you're doing as this elf?
He's still just worried about these orcs that might be around
these half orcs, and because of that he's still trying to make
sure that he covers as much tracks as he can any time it
goes home. Make it to your apartment.
Why don't you give me a perception check with advantage?
That's 19. The door is locked, but you
notice that it has been open recently, not by you.
Instead of open the door, he kind of peers through his
window. Make me a perception check.
That's. 18. Your apartment looks fine.
It looks like your mess. It doesn't look like a mess.
It looks like your calculated mess.
It's dark. There are no lights on.
You don't see anybody in there. But because of the state of the
door, you know that something's off.
You know you're very particular about your ways.
And because of the stacks you do have, like your own booby traps
or kicks that you would leave behind because you want to know
if somebody entered your place. This is not the first time that
this may have happened, maybe not the last, but you do know
that something is off. Somebody has been here since
you've been. He's still disguised as this
random elf, so he's going to knock first.
You knock on your apartment and there's no answer.
And then he's going to put his key in, unlock it and kind of
kick the door open slowly. Give me another procession check
with advantage because this is your apartment.
It's dark. You know your apartment better
than anyone. That's a 15.
As you turn the corner to go to your desk, you are alert.
As you turn the corner to go to your workbench, you notice that
there is a figure leaning on the wall ball with their shoulder in
a non threatening pose with their arms crossed.
A very feminine figure has a big hat tilted down, covering their
face. Who?
Who's there? I'm the housekeeper.
If you're a housekeeper, you're doing a really shitty job and
you see that the silhouette, a tail moves, and from the tail a
little flame shows red skin, lighting a cigarette to her
lips. It is Nuella.
It looks like he might be on to me.
Yeah. It's not me.
And he drops the ACT. I'm just, you know, just keeping
people off my tail that I don't want after me.
You know how that is. You really do.
Yeah, having people on your tail can be really annoying.
And you see that she takes a big puff of a very long and elegant
cigarette. You see that the cigarette she
has, it has one of those very fancy cigarette holders where
the cigarette will be at the end and you smoke it through like
this long black needle. Fancy nobles will tend to do
that. And she takes a big, big drag.
I didn't know how I wanted to approach.
This listen, I know I'm pretty tantalizing.
Become a knockin. You can stay if you like.
And he takes his coat off and he puts it on his bed.
He sits on a stool and he grabs. One of his He's out of his
sister's moonshine, so he's going to grab some of his own
spirits. Well, if you came out his way,
you might as well have a drink. You see, she's clenching the
cigarette very tightly. She goes, oh, I'm going to drink
something, but it's not going to be that.
Will, you're trying to serve me right now.
You fooled me for a while, but you really think I wouldn't
notice? I.
Don't know what you're talking about.
She pulls out a dagger. Give you one more chance to be
the honorable man. I hope you are.
You see this blade? It's a dagger, but it's a very
long dagger. Well, then there's got to be one
or two things into one, this is some really kinky foreplay or
two, you might have lost something that you don't have no
more. It's definitely the latter.
Yeah, I figured as much. You see she looks at her dagger
and she is picking her very long teethling nail.
Cleaning her fingertip she goes. I'm going to give you one chance
to return it. And you see that her light red
skin begins to turn dark Crimson and her eyes begin to fade over
into almost like this blood red look.
Listen, you're always going to have me in some combat.
I'm not going to be fine. You don't worry.
He puts the bottle back on the shelf and he does take a.
Earthquake of the moonshine. He grows and grabs his coat and
he puts it on. All right.
You want something very special back, right?
You want your something that might have been on your hat.
I'm guessing that's right. Well, you know, we did just take
care of Grab, but just say make it even.
Don't even have to pay me. Don't even have to do nothing
else. Couldn't we just do something
like that? You got your life.
I got one of your feathers. That ain't too bad at trade.
That feather is worth 10 times. It's some lowlife hack that's
trying to Heckle me with some rats.
And what makes you think even with your baubles and trinkets?
And she motions to your desk. Over there with those hand me
down tools, things you have the means to make use of that rare
feather. Not to mention the amount of
hell I had to go through. Get that?
Well, maybe trinkets, but it's about how you use them, and I
got a bit more going on in this ad than you can make credit for.
You see that she walks towards you, towards the stool at your
table, the free one that you're sitting next to, about a few
feet away from you and. Now he's lighting a cigarette
too. But then let me ask you this, is
there any way that I can work it off?
Because I really need something like that right now, and I don't
know anybody else that would have something.
What is exotic? I need these feathers for my own
personal reason. Oh, that makes two of us then.
But I don't think you're skilled enough to know how to use it.
I think you would just break it. You want another failed
experiment. And she looks over to your desk.
It's just messy. She doesn't know what's there.
As many successes that you've had, I would imagine you've had
the same amount of failures. And your apartment is definitely
a testament to that of trial and error.
Now I'm offended. Oh, now you know how it feels.
And he walks past her, he doesn't even look at her and
goes and sits on his desk. He kind of spins around in the
chair, leans back with both elbows on his desk.
How about this? If we make a deal, give me a
chance. Let me show you what I can whip
up here. She grips her dagger, but she
flips it around. The blade is facing downward and
she kind of holds it along first.
Rather than somebody who would have their dagger just stick it
straight up for like a quick stab, she has in a position to
slice. Would you have in mind?
There are a few ways we could do it is, but I got it already.
I could whip something up. Did you got something you was
trying to do with that? She takes off her hat and she
moves her hair to the side. Now she's a tiefling with one
horn, and you see that when her hat is taken off, her other horn
looks like it was cut off. In the light of your apartment
now and her very enraged skin, you can see that she wasn't just
born with one horn. Matter of fact, the other one
was removed somehow. And you could see within her
hair as she moves it to the side to kind of adjust herself.
You could see all these balls spots around that home.
Looks like she has a nasty scar. Tea flings are accustomed to
flames, but they're not immune. But it's very rare when you see
tea flings with burns and you see that she has these small
burns around this broken horn. And she looks at her hat, and
she takes the fake feather off and crumples it up, very
insulted, throws it on the floor, shows, yeah, that don't
match your decor just fine. And she points to the other
three phoenix feathers that she has.
You proved to me that you can make something with that feather
right now, and I'll give you another one for free.
But if you don't, I'm going to leave you something to Remember
Me by for a very, very long time.
I want to remember you to the end of days, but we can talk
about that some other time. A man of pride and challenge in
my intelligence. Got me almost as angry as you
are, but different kind of fire now in my belly.
I just want to prove something. I've been thinking about this a
while. Give me some time.
And he puts his goggles on and you see, he buttons up his
trench coat and it goes up to his nose, so it kind of blocks
anything that would be like fuming towards his face.
And he immediately whips out the feather he stole from her and is
just going to start. Getting to work before I do
this. You want something specific or
is this up to me? I'll be surprised if you don't
kill yourself. I almost got myself about twice
a day. I think he would want to create.
Something that would fix her horn.
So The thing is, the phoenix feather wouldn't do that.
You know what a phoenix feather does?
It it has life restorative properties, but it's very
reactive depending on what you do.
So anything you make with this potion is going to be based
around that. It's meant to cure or bring
something back. Yeah, then he'll make a potion
that would cure diseases, sort of like a lesser restoration.
So you can definitely aim to do that, but here's the catch, you
are very skilled tinkerer. This is a very volatile
component that you are working with right now.
So we're going to do a series of roles to see if you're able to
get that desired outcome. As you begin to getting to work
and you begin setting up, you see as she's going through your
liquor cash and you she's like going through bottles and she
takes a bottle, notices this one that you've made because she
remembered it from last time she was here.
She was lost and throws it over her shoulder into the room and
you hear the loud crash. Listen, I know it's it's a mess,
but it's an organized mess. Don't make it worse.
As it keeps working. I would focus if I were you.
I'm more focused than I've ever been, and he's kind of tapping
to himself, like singing a song in his head as he's going beaker
to beaker, fixing up flasks and flames.
Give me an Arcana check as you begin to study the Phoenix
feather and you start to get your components ready.
Please. What does that look like?
I mean, he has a a place where he props up his journal and he's
kind of flipping really fast through.
He already knows the pages he wants months ago too, and you
already see potions on pages that he's already tried and
failed. XS check marks on little
sections, but nothing's circled because nothing has worked
perfectly yet. And he goes over to a mortar and
pestle. First he wants to shave off the
feathers from the stem to have those to separate parts, and
then use a mortar and pestle to crush the stem.
Go. Ahead and make me an arcana
check. That's 23.
You understand what you're working with with this feather.
You know it has restorative properties, it's curative
properties. You understand the fragileness
and the validity of the feather and the power possesses.
And as you study it with the 23, you can almost see the flames
coursing within the frills of the feather from its plucked
wing, and you feel the immense heat that it gives off.
And you begin to get to work. Go ahead and make me mess to
check as you begin to crush various herbs together as you
begin to make a base for your solvent. 12th.
You seem a bit rushed with this because you're excited to use
the feather. Go ahead and make me another
arcana check as after you make this base with a 12 you see that
the color is not quite right. I'm really desperate to show off
for her. I think I'm going to use my
Kickstarter die. OK.
I want to use my Kickstarter die to get an automatic success.
Yes. OK, so for those who don't know,
we did a Kickstarter a few months ago.
Yay, we hit those goals. Yay.
Hey, what are the rewards for the Kickstarter?
And a punishment for me is that I gave each of our players an
auto success die that they use once per campaign.
And this is going to be bow Rams.
You mix the base you see as the feather mixed with the solvent,
you begin to ground it up and you see the feather begins to
dissolve and she is staring over you.
She's watching this feather disappear and become just
another ingredient in this vial that you've made.
Go ahead and now make me another medicine check.
As you begin to add more components to it as the feather
has taken to the base properly, so 19, you begin to add more and
now the vial of liquid begins to fill up.
You do notice something that the base of the bottle with the 19
begins to crack but not break. Something is reacting to it.
Some of the ingredients that you have mixed together from the
base of the salvo with the 12 is not quite sitting right with the
power of the phoenix feather. Something is getting too hot.
The heat is something you haven't accounted for because
the vile itself is a tempered to deal with that mystical heat.
Boram gets a little worried at this point, and he's like all
right, time for the big guns, and he reaches into his bag of
holding pocket in his trench coat and he.
Does a little. Spin with it and puts this
magical rod that he's had that I think Mylan and Vivian have
seen, and he sets it up real quick in a way that's angled
down facing up towards the bottom of this glass.
And he's gonna try and start focusing some magic through that
rod. That sapphire gem in that rod
begins to glow and you see a swirl of energy that begins to
leave the rod going into the vial.
And as it goes into the vial, the swirl of this blue like air
like energy begins to turn into water.
And you see that as the glass begins to crack, it begins to
settle as the mystical heat seems to be quelling.
So the vial is a bulb vial right as a bulb and then it has a
spout with a coordinate right. So the vial then begins to
change. The contents inside begin to
change. Half of it begins to turn into a
cloud with that rod. The rod had to intervene and
make up for and do not take this in an assaulting way young Bo
R.E.M. And had to make up for a lack of
knowledge that you simply just have it possessed.
Although you are very skilled tinkerer, you are dealing with
elements that are just beyond your experience and this is a
great learning opportunity. A matter of fact, the next time
you deal phoenix feathers, you have advantage.
I know I had the math right, but I forgot about one of these
components. And he's like, really thinking
about it and writing new notes in his journal as he's going,
and he's almost forgotten that Noel is given in the room.
Half of the liquid inside turns to like this smoke.
It's very ethereal like in nature.
It looks like you're looking at a thin sheet floating around,
almost like a ghost with indivile, and it takes this blue
tealish color. You have this mysterious flask
now added to your inventory. Bo ran, you did it again.
Not too bad, man. Chance is gonna love this.
She looks at you and bumps your shoulder and she takes the vial
and she looks at it. Oh, hey, hey.
What you doing and? She's like moving it around and
she's like trying to manipulate the fog and the liquid that's
inside, trying to get it to move.
Careful with that, you don't know what that's doing.
And the two substances inside are like oil and water.
They're just constantly separated.
She moves it around, she goes, What does it do?
Would you like to know Work didn't it did it?
It sure did. If this did not work, you and
I'd be dead. Oh yeah, what does it do?
How do I know this isn't going? To kill you.
Jeez, at least that's what I'm open.
It does man. It's been a day though.
I think I got the math right, but I don't know, it's not
perfect yet. I got to find some more
components. And ingredients.
And I think I can make it stronger next time.
And he's thinking to himself, he's not even looking at her.
She places the bottle kind of heavily on the desk.
She goes, well, I don't know if there's going to be a next time,
but I'll keep this in mind. And she just walks out.
She does not give you another feather.
So. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, I won't count on it. And she knocks over something
with her tail before she he slams the door of your
apartment. She kind of rude when he looks
out the door and notices that she's gone.
He closes the door, locks it and then goes back to the center of
the room where he sets up his just regular table where he, you
know, play cards and drinks with people.
And he puts it down there, put some components and liquids on
his alchemy glove. And then you see him start
casting a ritual and he he's almost falling asleep as he's
doing this because it's been like such a long week.
But eventually, after a ritual casting it, he casts identify.
After 10 minutes, I'm. Going to call this an apprentice
resurrection elixir. This has the possibility exactly
5050 to bring someone back to life in the state that they were
living in before they died. The.
Ingredients were off a bit. One through 10 nothing happens.
They do not get resurrected. 11 through 20 they do any ailments,
curses, blessings, buffs, nerfs. Exhaustion gets put back as they
were, except for the fact that they gain full health, but they
suffer 2 points of exhaustion. I mean, I knew it worked, but
not exactly what I was trying to do.
I got to get to bed. Baron puts it in his coat, he
labels it nicely, he's got a bunch of labels and tags around,
and after that he goes and tries to get some sleep.
It doesn't work because for 30 minutes neurons are firing
thinking about this damn potion, and they take some time, like
messing with one of the manacore teeth, before eventually passing
out on his own desk. And you gain the benefits.
Long rest as you pass out for the night gaining Level 3 and
you're a subclass. Hey, as we wake up on the 19th
of Myrtle everybody, as you all become Level 3, what are each of
your subclasses as you are all now Level 3.
Yay. You're all Level 3.
Yay. I guess we should start with
Boram because it's obvious he's an alchemist artificer, so
everything revolved around brewing potions and that kind of
stuff. Not artillerist.
Man, you wish I was an artillerist.
Yeah, okay, I'd rather eat my shorts, dude.
OK, I took on a 2024 rogue subclass and I'm going for
Mastermind. Your focus is on people and the
influence and secrets they have. Many spies, courtiers, and
schemes. Follows archetype leading lives
of intrigue. Words are your weapons as often
as knives are poison, and secrets and favors are some of
your favorite treasures. And I gained 2 new languages
from Woolens brooch. She's the Mastermind subclass.
Very nice, Yeah. So with Level 3 paladins, a
sacred oath, and IA took the Oath of devotion, it gives me a
certain amount of spells aligned with that oath of devotion and
we will find out as we get into combat.
All the devotion, Paladin? What about our very little
friend Mylan? Scions can be 4 different
subclasses. Out of those four, he is going
to be a sigh warper. A sigh Warper.
That sounds crazy dude. Warp space with the power of
your mind. Ireland is much faster than you
think he might be now. He sounds nerdy as hell though.
Ireland's a JoJo character now. Yeah, I don't even want to read
his thing because it gives away a bunch of his abilities later.
We shall discover them as all of you wake up in the morning of
the 19th of Myrtle. The 19th of Myrtle is the second
to last day of the 10 day week. We're approaching the weekend
technically, because then we have 10 day weeks.
As the chickens cluck, the Roosters caw, the sounds of
hammers hitting anvils, carts moving across the rough gravel
paths. As people begin their day, the
stacks begin to become a flutter as creatures and people begin to
move about. The Westerly district becomes
busy as ever as people go about shopping throughout the merchant
districts and Charles and Ophelia are getting breakfast
ready for Castle and Vivian. As Mylan stares wide eyed in the
Obsidian hidey whores, he stares at himself through the
reflection of his moon touched sword.
What are you doing? What are each of you doing?
Well, Castle's getting ready and waiting for the food.
He probably does wake up in the morning though.
Cleans his armor, you know, gets it ready.
But he also now is thinking that he might need to lay a little
low. So he was wearing like a heavy
jacket the other day as they were walking to the hideout.
So he's not going to do it yet. But he's trying to figure out
how he can kind of dull down his appearance and maybe blend in a
little bit better than he has been, because he definitely has
not even been trying You're. On the perfect house for that.
Yeah, Vivian's going to get ready as normal.
I'm going to try to get down the stairs quickly enough to help
Ophelia and Charles get set up. I know Kassel's there so our
plates will be ready but I'm going to leave 2 extras on the
side in case and Mylan show up but Vivian still kind of in her
head. Mylan, what are you doing?
Mylan wakes up after what a crazy day he's had and kind of
stretches and he's kind of in his old routine of getting up
and kind of rubbing his eyes and then all of a sudden he starts
to recall things that happened yesterday.
He quickly springs up, grabs his sword and looks around slowly,
starts to back up and then now that there's nothing in the room
he gives it one final look and then bolts out of there.
He just wants to get out as quickly as he can.
Leave your hidey hole. Where are you heading?
He really doesn't know what's happening.
He knows that he told Bo Ram a few days ago that he's going to
meet him back back at his place in a week, but other than that,
he's kind of just gonna walk around.
That's not the day, is it? And maybe hit up some comfort
food as best he can. OK, so you walk around, you get
yourself some breakfast as you get some comfort food for
yourself to try to calm down from a long night.
How about you, Boram? What are you doing?
He wakes up and he's like on his desk.
What did I do last night? I wasn't drinking.
He looks around and in a fugue state, Boerum has made two
potions, and they're kind of off to the side.
Oh, that's right. I was crafting stuff, but
brewing. OK, All right.
And he takes those two potions and he puts them in his lab coat
and he kind of gets up and he stretches.
He's like. I got to start actually sleeping
in my own bed. All right, morning time and he.
Kind of snaps too and he starts putting some food on on a pod
and goes and takes a bath while the food is cooking.
Cooks himself breakfast like he usually does some beans, some
boudin like all good stuff. And after eating that and
getting cleaned up he puts on a new linen shirt and slacks or
maybe some leather pants today. Kind of looks around, gets a
little stressed about the mess in his level and is like that's
for another day, that's for another day and is just going to
have get outside and get about his day.
He's probably gonna head back towards Vivians place because
since he didn't come back he wants to at least let them know
he's okay. So you make your way to Vivians
place as you go over to them. Hazel Vivian, as you 2 eat
breakfast, what are your plans for?
Are you just waiting for Boram to return and then figuring out
things from there or is there some stuff you would like to do?
The floor is yours. Well, I guess did we move the
horses over to the stable of Vivians?
Yes. OK, cool.
That was really his only worry. He doesn't want to meet up with
Boram and eventually Mylan, but he is also going to keep an eye
out for any more assassins or anyone.
Maybe not even from the Winter Court, but specific.
Typically just anyone from the fae.
He is gonna keep an extra precaution like looking for that
type of stuff. As the two of you are getting
ready in Vivian's quarters Bo ram, you make your way back to
Vivian and it's up to Mylan if maybe you 2 spot each other.
So I think he grabbed some of his comfort food, which is, you
know, food laying about maybe in a dumpster of some sort,
rummaging through. Even though he's got money, he's
kind of reverting back a little bit to kind of old ways after
the day he had, he's going to probably go back to where he was
and kind of retrace some of the steps and trying to figure out
what went wrong, what was going on.
Now that's daylight, he feels a little bit more brave to to kind
of go back to where he was. So there was across the bridge
to the northwest side is where he jumped into like a closed out
vendor tent type of thing where he kind of hid from Vivian and
Beau Rams. So he's going to go there and
just take a look around I. Mean Beau Rams he's going
through there so I I want to say he would spot Mylan.
So he took a sausage to go after eating some beans and some other
stuff, some eggs for breakfast. He's like walking through the
center, about to turn W to go towards Vivian's hideout and
then drops his sausage when he sees this little red tail
flipping around. Forum's annoyed at Mylan but
happy that he's alive and he he's kind of just finishing
eating his sausage and then as he gets behind Mylan, he just
kind of watches from like 5 feet away from Mylan while he's
searching around. And then finally after like 10
seconds, he's like. You missing something there.
What happened? What?
Do you mean what happened? I went and tried to use one of
your he uses quotes bathrooms. Oh my God, I don't know what you
you guys do in there but that that place is scary.
You drowned me once and then I see bad things in the other one.
What kind of bad things you see in there?
Oh. Man.
Oh, we need to body train you. What?
OK, Milan, what happened last night?
You were running all around like crazy.
You're OK, Everything good? Yeah, just, you know, when you
see scary things, you just want to get out of there and you run
away. I mean, I might do that.
Marlin. What?
What kind of scary things were you seeing?
You know when the shadows like, come alive.
Marlin. That's not normal.
No. Where are these shadows coming
from, Marlin? You know when you look in like
those mirrors and then you see pictures and then all of a
sudden they're not friendly pictures and then you get real
scared? You gotta be getting scared.
We can get scared about I. Mean I get scared, all kinds of
things, especially sharp objects pointed at me.
But shadows coming alive? That's new to me.
So like if I take my sword and then you would run off and be
scared? Sure.
You got a pat smiling on the head.
He slowly starts to grab at it. Hey, Milan, let's recoup with
the others. You know, we got some friends
now, you and I, and they've been helping us out real nice.
So what do you say we talk to them about what's going on and
maybe we can all help each other out.
All. Right.
But I ain't, I ain't going in one of those bathrooms again.
Never again. We go to Vivian's.
I'm sure she got a much better bathroom.
Wait, what do you mean? I'll show you here.
Get on my back. Milan climbs up.
Oh, you want the rest of my sausage?
Clamors at it as he almost drops it, No.
Hey, calm down, it's not going anywhere.
Open mouth chewing. Bone brushes some out of his
hair. This way OK.
You're about the funniest and scariest thing I ever met.
He starts walking mile and two. I know.
You cross over one of the bridges over the rivers of
Boderis as you enter the market district.
Head up these wooden stairs into the base of the Westerly
district. As you head into Vivian's
hideout. Knock on the door.
Charles answers. She lets you in.
He goes a little late, or early I should say, Mr. Burrim.
I mean, I didn't make no promises.
I'd come back here only if I found this guy.
But I finally found him. When Vivian hears that, she
shoots up at the table and goes, why did you leave?
You're not supposed to do that without diets.
And she's full on crying. Maybe go calm her down a bit,
give her a a nug or something. It's not nice.
You can't do that to Fred. You want to go inside.
We don't have to go in get. In.
Here. Now.
We go in and Boram walks the both in.
It's been a rough day already. It's been a rough life.
Okay, that makes more sense. And she's going to turn to
Ophelia and Charles, like, could you just bring out all the food,
please? Disbelie and you see that
Charles and Ophelia would go out and get the food from the
kitchen and prepare you a very nice, wonderful, magnificent
breakfast, worthy that of a Lord.
I already ate, but thank you, I'll.
Have his and who? Wait, who are these people?
If you were here yesterday, Milan, you'd know.
They're my contacts. They help me get things done
around my house. Contacts.
Now you have to do a big favor for me.
You can't be telling people where I live you can know, but
nobody else is allowed to know. OK, 'cause then they'll take all
of our food from us. So that's very important.
If you want lots of food, you can't tell anybody.
OK, good. We have a lot to talk about.
Like what food we're going to eat here or?
Why'd you run? Kassel and I went through a lot
yesterday. Yeah, but Ram just left and
didn't say anything else. He was supposed to come back.
I told you I was going to find him and I'd come back when I
found him and there he is. Right.
I mean, he didn't have to. I didn't say I'd come back, but
I I see how it could have been interpreted that way and I
apologize. Or trying to make her feel
better. I'll be better next time.
That's. What you said when you promised
rock head. I I made you something, I made
you gifts. And he pulls out the two potions
that he made last night. What are the two potions you
made last night when you hit Level 3?
Wait, this this milk? No, that's not milk.
I'll drink. I'll drink it.
Don't. How'd you give it a try?
Don't you Don't drink. Any Are you trying to poison me
again? No.
I'm not trying to poison you. Milan only drink things from me
and Kassel unless it's to. Let's save your life.
Yeah, Kassel, you want one? It's a health potion.
Yeah, yeah, I'll take one. Pretty sure it should heal you
up I think. You think?
What does that mean? Vivian, you want one too?
I made it just for you. Do.
You know what it does? Yeah, it's like I said, it's an
elf potion, obviously. Violence sticks up behind him,
he thinks, and he uses air quotes.
Yeah, I think, well, no, I got to put the air quotes on there.
Vivian's just going to grab it and put it in her pocket.
She's never going to use that until it's identified.
I got to use it today though, made that one pretty quick.
Not going to be potent tomorrow. We.
Don't even know what it is. It should heal you.
It should heal you right up. Or maybe.
Castle just immediately opens it and drinks it.
Castle. Oh my gosh.
Oh, look at that. See, it's healing them, right?
Up and then you see Castle start flying.
Wait, what? Oh my God, what's?
Happening, wait, that's not what I what's happening.
That's not what I tried to wait, wait, come back down, wait, come
back down here. I'm not drinking it.
And you're 10 feet up in the air.
Why am I floating? Why am I floating?
Poram. Yes, Poram.
Castle, before you leave, here's some food.
I'm throwing food at him. I'm gonna get sick.
Don't do this and Boram like steps away from.
Cat I like swim in the air over towards Boram.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, not music. Hey, is he floating?
I gave him a potion of flight. I made two potions of flight
yesterday. Imagine telling someone it's a
health potion. I have one HP in battle and all
of a sudden I just start floating.
I will get the rope, lady. And you see that Charles goes
and gets rope. I'm gonna be sick.
I mean, you could probably, you probably fly down.
I think you could fly down on yourself.
Just think about flying. Vivian so upset she starts
rubbing the brooch. Actually it's in her hands right
now. She took it off her hair.
Charles is making a lasso. Yeah, you have 10 feet of flying
speed for 10 minutes. I try to just do like the the
breaststroke, like through the air.
Oh, see, it's working. It's just like I intended.
I just, I'm the the health potions back home.
I just gave you a different one by accident.
You kind of look side to side. Sometimes I wonder what I've
done with my life to get here. To get surrounded by really
skilled people like ourselves. But you're liars.
I. Mean I didn't lie, I just didn't
know what it did yet. I call you a truth you.
Just sits back at the table is kind of like pushing some food
around because he's already eaten.
Going to look right up Mylan and go.
All right, Mylan, let's lay down some rules and let's talk about
why you ran. I gotta ask.
And I know you were upset about friend, but we're your friends
too. And we care.
And I think we've shown we care because you're very nice.
But if you're upset, you just have to tell us.
We'll give you space. But if you let us know, we can
keep you safe, right? Yeah.
No. I want a sincere answer.
Oh, oh, I look over at Ballroom. She's scary.
I know. Been a rough day.
You know, just when things get scary and you just, you just run
and everything's fine? I'm very fast.
You want to see how fast I am?
All right, Mylan, let's let's talk about the shadows.
Yeah, yeah, Mylan, let's take this seriously as I'm like
cartwheeling. Through the air.
Oh, is he gonna throw up? Charles, I'll help you tie him
down. Quite slippery.
Just just throw it to me. A life preserver gets tossed
across the room. All right, Mylan, why don't we
start with the shadows? Because that's the one that
concerns me the most, what you've been seeing exactly what
these shadows look like. OK, so they're just scary
things. You know, I was telling Bob
Graham, you know, when you, like, look in a mirror and you
see a bunch of bad, scary shadows, it's kind of like that.
But instead of normal stuff where you see, like, animals and
things like that, I saw a big scary thing and I didn't know
what it was, and I thought it was after me.
And. Yeah.
All right, big scary shadows. Not animals in the mirror.
I mean, the animals are pretty scary.
Those are those. Those happen all the time.
There's just a scary. Borm has nothing but question
marks around all of that in his journal.
The one shadow. I can't even fathom what that
was. Wait.
What you mean the one shadow? It was really skinny and it had
crazy wings and it looked, you know when you spill milk and
it's like real on the table? Yeah, when it's all over the
place. Yeah.
Now take that and turn it to the side and then where it falls on
the ground. That's what you look like.
Like a puddle. Like one of those tests you do,
you know when the Inland doctors got those ink blots, something
like that. I don't think you know what that
is though. Like this and Bohem like
actually just draws a bunch of ink blots and kind of draws what
he thinks would be like a skinny shadow creature with wings.
He grabs your page as you're drawing and he takes whatever
glass of liquid is around him. He throws it on the page and he
has it sitting flat, tilts it off to the side so the water
runs down and what's left is just this wet paper that's
really dark and obscured. And he starts making the
movements with his finger. And then all that you see now is
a partially wet piece of paper with these streaks going down it
that resemble kind of what he said.
And he holds it up and he's like, it's like this.
It's really scary. Bo Ram gingerly grabs his
journal back with very furrowed eyebrows and he lifts the one
page that has the thing he drew and then starts mending the
other pages very angrily. Now Milo, the next time you do
that, please ask me before just going at my journal.
Do you want the other ones? Or the what?
I got more water or milk. Give.
Me. Give me a moment.
And I RIP out like 6 pages and hand them to Mylan.
There you go, you know what I got a better idea and I take my
arm and I grab him. As soon as I grab him I want to
make a connection with him but instead of him seeing it, he
just gets a lot of the anxious scary feelings that are Mylan's
hit of his stomach. Oh, so you can't communicate
images to me? I can, it's just he doesn't want
to like, think too much about it.
Mylan Oh, this is these some strong feelings you having?
And he looks concerned that Vivian and Dazzle as Kazzle
finally sits down, floating on a chair.
All of a sudden, now that he's like talking about it more, he's
getting very nervous and he starts scratching his paw again.
What he's dealing with this, this don't sound like just some
simple doubt of nightmares. I know it's odd, but can you
kind of focus in on those images you saw?
That'll help me a lot. And if I can see it then I can I
can draw that it. Would really help us smile in as
Vivian's tying Kazzle down to the chair.
Right, look at me and I'm, I'm kind of like holding one of his
paws. I'm like, alright, start with a
one day you think is the least scary.
Let's go there. OK, OK, OK.
And he grabs Bo Ram again and starts thinking through what he
saw the night before. And the one that is the least
scary to him is a strange feline is the image that we see, but
it's just a strange looking kind of bobcat or something along
those lines. But it's very shadowed.
I guess it's this one. I don't know.
Yeah, maybe in Castle. Probably see Bo Ram start
sweating, beads of sweat on his brow as he just shakily starts
drawing this thing. And Bo Ram is getting very
concerned because this imagery is not normal and quite
terrifying. And then after seeing all of
that and drawing it out, he flips the page shakily and kind
of shows him what he saw. He said this the least scary
one. While that's happening, Mylan
takes his hand back and he's just frantically clawing at the
top of his paw at this point. Vivian's going to reach over to
Mylan and go, Was this physically there or did you see
it in your head? It was.
It was pretty real.
It was, it was really scary. I don't.
Before I met you fully you know back back on with the pig works
yeah I did lie I've seen you around but I.
Heard lie to me. I'm sorry I didn't know you, but
I'm telling you the truth now. You took the jerky like I
thought you did, and then you also lied to me.
Well, it wasn't actually the jerky I took.
I used you as a distraction to get something I actually needed.
But I paid. I paid casual and Vivian Tre's
background. I used you as a distraction.
I am sorry but I didn't know youth back then.
However, what I did learn or what I heard is that you eat
magic things. Is that true?
Could that be affecting your head?
First off, I feel attacked. It's okay, I've just, maybe we
can help you. If it's true, it's true, but I
heard a rumor from the local vendors because I work with them
and that's what they said about you.
So I didn't know. I wasn't going to judge you.
If you do, we could get you some.
If you don't, maybe it causes it, maybe, maybe it's just
rumor. I don't know.
Ma, you know you're not supposed to be putting stuff in your
mouth that come from outside. But I mean, OK, First off.
Well, you actually eat. Them.
I don't like this. I feel very you know what?
You. Know Milan?
Hold on, I'll tell you stuff about me, OK?
No problem. I'll tell you any secret you
want to know if you want to reveal it.
You better not lie. I promise.
OK, Castle was my witness yesterday.
Oh you were a witness and stuff with Ohio.
This back into shamans. Yep, Yep, Yep.
What's it like over there, Paladin?
Very fancy. Oh man, it must be nice being
taken in by the shamans. Can they adopt me too?
Well, no, you could certainly try.
Why'd it take you in exactly? They they'd nice to do that.
Well, they didn't. I was there the whole time.
How about that? They go Milan now, you know, You
know, something that the rest of Aldaris isn't allowed to know.
Oh. They adopted you at birth.
No I was never adopted, it was all for show.
I am a Sharmah by blood, but they couldn't have a tiefling.
I'm sorry, you an actual Shamah. Real stuff, but I have to
pretend like I'm adopted. And you're the last to know.
How's that feel? I mean, that's fine.
I'm sorry, I just didn't know. Oh, the full picture.
It's OK, but that's the truth. Mylan.
Wait, how did you know Kassel? What?
Well, I mean, I kind of overheard you and your father
arguing and you said a bunch of stuff you probably shouldn't
have said in front of me, so I knew.
Oh yeah, I did. I'm not a little angry, sorry.
But I didn't know. But obviously I kind of
unofficially he was like, Oh yeah, that's chicks out.
OK, well shoot, good thing I shared that anyway, so you can't
say that out loud because my father might.
I might be it for you. I can make a lot of corn.
I tell dad to the right person though.
You do that and I will find the right people to end your
existence program, OK? Here's a joke.
Bad time for a joke I won't be doing, I promise.
I promise. And Vivian's gonna turn back.
So Mylan, that's my big secret. OK, OK, OK, look, I'll tell you
secret, but I, I, I, I think I don't want to talk about these
ones anymore. The scary ones.
Yeah, how about one that's less scary?
OK. Yeah, Milo, we take that step by
step, all right. You remember when we were in The
Cave in the with the pig orcs and that thing poisoned us and
we ran away and. Yeah, just a few days ago.
And it disappeared. Mm hmm, remember how it was in
here? And I start to take off my cloak
and I hold it up. It attacked me or it wasn't it,
It was something, I don't know. It was scary.
It knows where I live and I don't like it.
And I just had a really hard day.
Mylan, I'm so sorry. I totally saw a little glimpse
of something at the four right owl days ago and I totally
forgot. I am so sorry.
You. Lied to me.
I didn't lie, I forgot. Now, as an apology, if you're
too scared to go home, you can stay here as long as you need.
I don't mind. I like my home.
Yeah, you can go home. I like my hood, I like my life,
I like, hey, get out of trees. I could get a tree over here.
Mylan, can I just see your cloak temporarily?
I'll give it back to you. I miss.
Yes, yes, I promise. OK.
I want to inspect the symbol that's on his hood though.
Like that the eyeball with the where I saw the hilt as well.
So you look at the cloak, seemingly looks like a normal
everyday cloak, but it does have an etched symbol into it.
So the symbols like a three pronged crown, there's an
eyeball in the center and then there are eyeballs on the top of
the Proms. So is this the same symbol that
I saw on the hill of that sword from the branded blades guy?
Yes. OK.
Do I sense anything when I have it in my hands?
Like looking at it. You do not sense anything.
OK So what ends up happening is I was in my place and no one
knows where it's at and then all of a sudden this this crazy
looking thing comes out and attacked me and then I was about
to run and then it ran at me. I got scared and it went into
the cloak. Now I don't know what to do.
Well, let's do this if I can, I will try to help you out before
you go to bed with your cloak. OK, I I have some spells that I
might be able to make sure nothing happens to you while
you're sleeping. At least no promises, but I can
at least try. And I give him back the cloak.
Oh, let me take a look at it first.
I can guess identify on it maybe.
I don't know if it's magic. But who knows?
So are any of these spells on paper?
Why are we just giving him back this cloak with a monster in it?
I mean, these monsters, it's this cloak.
Milan, I can make you a new cloak that looks just the same.
I promised him I'd give him the cloak, so I'd just give Milan
back the cloak. I kind of don't want to like
have a monster attack me again. That's what I'm saying.
Give me that thing we. Can even take some nice fabric
that you like so it's nice exactly what you want that's.
What I'm saying, we can make a day out of it.
But I like this one. We get one that looks just the
same. We could try to get rid of the
monster in it. Well, I guess we could do that
if we can get it to come out, but.
It's pretty scary. It's so scary when there's all
of us here. Let me try and identify this.
Give me 10 minutes or we'll take 10 minutes to ritual cast
identify just to see if it has any magical properties of some
kind. Cast Identify on the clue, and
sure enough, it is just a cloak. There is nothing magical within
its fibers. But as you look at the symbol,
you notice something strange about the symbol itself.
This specific symbol is a some type of teleportation circle,
specifically getting the Conjuration School of Magic from
the symbol. And that is where we're going to
end this week's session. Damn woo.
We're all Level 3, baby. There it is.
We're all Level 3. You're all Level 3. 3.
Yeah, everyone got this subclase.
Everybody progressed. Found a weird teleportation
circle on a CLO. Weird.
Man dude, we rolled so many, Nat 20 says.
Fucking crazy dude. Do I get a Nat 20 for my
Kickstarter dad? Is that just count as a?
No, does it, but I will mark that you.
Used it. So I guess I did have a question
on that, Dan. Were you hoping to use it to
create whatever potion you wanted to create, or was it just
to 6 succeed the check? No, just to succeed the check.
OK. I wanted to minimize as much
risk as that because using a phoenix feather is a pretty big
item, so I didn't want to mess up using a phoenix feather.
I was originally going to use that to spy on Vivian, but she
just let us into her house. So as Beau Rams making potions,
I'm not always going to know what the outcome is.
So I didn't know exactly what the outcome was going to be, but
I wanted to make sure that the phoenix feather worked because
of a a key item like in a phoenix feather's hard.
It's a miracle I got the first one.
Who knows what could have happened to you if it broke?
I thought you two were going to fight.
I'm surprised you did a fight. I was ready for that too.
Yeah, throw one of the chairs at you as an improvised weapon
back. Yeah, thinking about it all day,
I ain't going to use it. Tony's like, man, I can't wait
to get home from work and just fucking beat Dan's ass.
It's Taylor Swift PvP content. Does anybody have any
recommended? I have a recommended.
You can't. You got to stop saying does
anybody have a wreck? And immediately saying I have a
wreck. My recommendation?
Don't take public transit. It breaks down in the snow.
That's a good wreck, actually. I feel like a bigger wreck is
just don't live in the snow, honestly.
That's it. Yeah, yeah.
Why are you living in the snow? I think.
There's a wreck. Don't live in Canada I think.
About that every day, because we're almost on fire.
I'd be out of here. Good wreck.
You know, you know, after that
Super Bowl halftime show, I think people are pronouncing it
Kenny da. I think Kenny Da.
That's right. Thanks, Bad Bunny.
All right, but it is time to spin the wheel though.
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way.
Are you kidding me? The smallest sliver on the
entire board just got picked in between two.
Massive wow. Cyprus and Sinner Slime have the
biggest plots of land on this whole thing.
It went between both of them and is right back on Julius
Kendricks who just went like 3 episodes ago. 2 episodes ago.
This is great dude. This is heavily weighted.
And the new 4 of from Julius Kendrick is the other four
sports on my TV, starting with the All American Pastime.
Jared, we're doing sports. Boom.
Yeah. Now remember, the call to action
was for a recommendation. But because we do do these and
you know, we don't record the episode and then air the next
one, we could not, you know, have your guys's comment be the
very next episode because that would be weeks later.
So that's why we're picking one. Just know what's happening.
Yes, just know the comments, we will pick one.
It is happening. I don't think one of us have
gone yet. I did mine.
Mine was good, yeah. Oh, you guys. 1st.
Must be nice. It was very.
Nice. Wait, how did you go already?
But you're still the same size as me.
Because you went yeah. I didn't get to go.
All right. We're going to go ahead and
close that while you 2 banker. All.
Right all. Right, everybody gave your most
flying goodbye, goodbye. See you goodbye.
