Welcome to Craig. My Lord, we're in a strange
place. Greetings everyone and welcome
back to another edition of Meta Gaming and our continued one
shot, The Kelidorian Heist. Last time we were here the party
had found themselves in the dwarven Kingdom of Buenagra in
the capital city of Star Pyre. They had made their way through
various means to come and I'll Co locate at a Tavern called The
Dog Pound. From there the characters
coalesced and talked with the local Tavern, Botan, and who
helped them meet their benefactor for their upcoming
events. It started off with a little bit
of drinking and ended with others a little leery and some a
little suspicious of their benefactor, but they are on
their way to hopefully performing a heist.
Let's check back in with them and see where the adventure
takes us. All right guys, so you met
Shorgal, He gave you the the maps, the details.
What do y'all want to do? Probably find a place to sit
down and plan. I think that's what we were
doing last. We were sitting all around the
table. And we should rent A room.
We have the we're we're in our own separate room as what we did
last. We got not like a sleeping room
but a like a a private booth if you will basically.
We're in the secret heist room at the back of every Tavern.
Yeah, right. I got it.
Steve No, wait, Carl. Yeah.
So you were saying Carl, Carl, Carl.
In order to do this correctly, we need to lay a false trail.
Do you guys want? If we do not want to make
enemies of the Kaldorians, we need to leave a false trail.
Do you have any I guess? I'm hats off.
So sorry I missed the very beginning of the conversation
when we were planning something about the itinerary lady.
Yeah, so hats off The we're I guess I'll, I'll just go over
it. I think the plan is that we want
to get a hold of his itinerary, so where he'll be when ideally
we replace the itinerary lady as I can like transform and take
the guys and sound of like whoever I want to.
Then we can kind of control when and where we grab him and where
he is etcetera. You could say, you know, you got
to go that way and then pick him up.
Where we want to do that, we need to get access to the
itinerary lady, which means we go to one of the high end shops
on the north side and impersonate the artisans who are
like setting up the gala so that we can go to the gala, take a
look at everything that's there, like scope it out, meet the
itinerary lady, ideally take her and become her.
Then we have direct access to Calador after that.
Then we had discussed how we want to do this quietly, like
if, if, if we. I guess the question is, do we
care at all if we're tied to it? Because the group also talked
about at the end of this getting paid and then turning around and
backstabbing the guy that just hired us.
Yeah. It picked up somewhere around
the the fall space. OK, Yeah.
And so, so the question is like, if we want to implicate that
guy, we have to plant evidence that will lead them to them if.
But that begs the question, are we ourselves going to try to
stay on the down low and not like, be obviously connected to
all of this and make enemies of both the nation state and a
criminal underground? Or are we trying to stay quiet
and implicate other people? But you said you were against
harming innocent people. Yes.
Well, interested in completing the job?
Yeah, I think being stealthy would probably be the better way
to go. OK, so.
Being here is to kill the people, so.
Yeah, then the plan would be to knock them all out, like, right,
like maker, make sure that we're seen as that guy, then knock
them out, make sure they're safe.
They don't get implicated, they don't go to jail, they don't get
murdered. We do the same thing to the the
institute or the itinerary person.
They also are not implicated and we just leave direct evidence to
this dude. Yeah.
OK, So then we would not be turning the we would not be
turning the shop that we go to into like a, a, a forward base
as evidence, right? Because we don't want these guys
to get hurt. So do we want to implicate them
by creating some sort of like, you know, ready room with like
maps and stuff, kind of like what we're doing right now, but
like not pointed at us? We could make it look like the
gold shards, so the gold shards are the ones that attack them
and then from their perspective the gold shards are the ones
that kept them tied up somewhere and use their own base.
Right. But where?
But then oh, at like the base they actually have.
Yeah, at the base they have. So then they do the.
Gold shards, keeping them hostage and using their base.
But it's really us, right? But then we need a location like
that. I thought it was going to be
their shop, something about the north up in the north.
If we did that to their shop, it would make it look like their
shop was like in part of it, right?
Well that's why they they were tied up the whole time and
someone else was like commandeer their shop.
Got it. OK.
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.
And then they just very quickly, like turned it into a ready
room. Yeah, so they they use the shop
as a front against a shop owner's will.
So we need multiple pieces of evidence.
We have the coin that we can send in as a letter, right, to
kick the whole thing off, multiple eyewitness accounts.
But we need other physical proof.
Yeah. So like a letter might be hard,
but like the person that goes in the room to feed them or
something would be right you and these guys.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
We need other physical stuff too.
So maybe like, what could we like?
We need to leave evidence at the scene of the crime that also
ties in. OK, So what need to be?
Recon on the like the Grand Am and his knife.
And then we also need to do secret, very secretive Recon on
the the, the gold charts or whatever they're called and
gather what we can of theirs to leave a little breadcrumb trail
for the popo to find. Right, Yeah, yeah.
And we've got the little coin thing that will get us into the
gold shards, so we should be able to get in and just, you
know, take some stuff. Into where though?
Like when you. Where I guess we we would have
to figure out where the gold shards like where their own base
is and then get into there and be like, oh, here's like an
Insignia that we can like, you know, break a window and get it
caught in there. I do not believe they have a
home base. And I was trying to get out of
Shiragal, who I could flash that coin to as a safe bet, and he
wouldn't give me a straight answer.
Yeah, he was very much beat around the Bush.
Yeah. Right.
I believe they have a small group of loyalists.
And it's difficult to find them do.
You know there anyone that might help us?
Are you asking? The hippo turns his head to the
orc it. Help.
Yes. Anyone in town?
Do you have in town contacts? I'm not keen on making friends
with the short folk. Excuse me?
He doesn't even respond. OK.
Some ideas? Perhaps we can steal.
Stuff very short folk. From Dorgal himself to implicate
him as a the gold shards and link him the gold shards via
short gall. Right.
Do we break into his office? I mean, if someone can identify
what that trap is and we can make a plan to disarm it, I can
try, but I've true I have no clue what all that that dusty
stuff was about. Maybe.
I think given the nature of our
situation, it is best we just do the job.
Well, that's probably trying to do, I thought.
Yeah, but I think he's saying without trying to implicate
gold, the gold shards. Do we get paid for implicating
gold Shard? No.
So. Be.
Surely don't. Write the letter to tip the
dominoes until after we get paid.
Yeah, but like doing that extra work, what does it get us?
Exactly. Revenge.
Sweet. Tasty.
Revenge. And the Pope, I mean, he's, he's
paying us. So like, I don't really, do we
have revenge against him? Like why do we need to revenge
against our employer? It is logical that a job is such
that a job such as this he would take a collateral.
But if you try your best and you get killed for failure, that's
not collateral, that's just you lose a.
Job like this. I mean, yes, that's the nature
of our lives right now. Of course, if we get caught,
here I am. If we get caught by the
Caldorians, we'll lose our lives too.
Like that. You, we.
That's the risk, the inherent risk that you take with trying
to kidnap a world. Leader.
Otherwise you could have bailed and now you can't bail.
That's true. I would have returned the money
if I bailed, but no well. You should have said something.
Why didn't I didn't? Know that my I was signing my
life away. Really like a blood pact.
I didn't give him any blood. Oh, he did.
You signed the thing with the like the the blood the blood
quill. It was.
It wasn't the blood. It was golden ink.
It was shiny, pretty ink. There's something to do with
blood. No, I, I.
Somebody did. Bleed on his hand or like
punched it with blood on his face?
Oh, that's right, use letters. Yeah.
OK, I mean, here's the thing. Yeah, it's it's kind of shitty.
You did sign it kind of could be.
It's very shitty, but I assume we're being paid.
Thinking pile of it. I assume we're being paid in the
recompense? I haven't had that shit and.
I've had some shots, let me tell you wish.
You can write the the new thing a letter at the end of all of
this. When this is no longer on us, he
points at the brand. But you I couldn't hear what?
If you wish, you can write the new thing a letter.
After this, he points at the brand is off.
I can only assume the new thing is going to be the gold shards
man. I'm a boy.
Think that killing one Do you think that killing the Kelledor
king is going to cause the Kelledors to fall?
I mean, I that's what I've been guessing is the plan here.
I mean, it's going to cause some problems.
Don't. Disagree, but there is one of
them here. I don't see an army at the
gates. Is there an heir?
Who's? Oh yeah, who's the heir?
Anyone know? Probably grad Dab Calador
junior. Hats off.
Is that our grand Am? No.
You vanished mysteriously. That would be funny, but no, it
it's a very big because of. Very big family.
Grand Am. It is a family name, so.
They're OK, so they are legion. They are legion.
OK. How is grand?
How is our Grand AM related to our mark?
Distant, distant nephew. Our grand Am isn't.
It still has a claim to the throne.
Yeah, if you want to remove about like 16 generations worth
of. OK of?
War Franklin, it says challenge accept.
I mean. If we do, we as.
Rather than a grand Am family reunion.
Yeah, if we can get our grand Am on the throne, that'd be pretty
cool. I it's a lot of murdery though.
That's fine. I killed the city campaign all
the way left. Oh, my cats are fighting.
I'll be back just a second. Real talk, I I with I will
happily in instigate a grand am family reunion for you all as
soon as it's my one shot. Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
And then we all show up trying to kill him.
I mean, that's what this feast basically is that we're busting
into is it is the Kellador clan family reunion, basically.
Yeah, maybe we should just lean into the chaos.
I'm ready to punch stuff. I think, I think we've got a
general plan. So let's do stuff.
I mean, we've got our let's see DM when we were talking to that
guy, like was he at like a a home base?
Was he, did he have paperwork or anything to like tie him in any
way? So y'all we can.
Go back and like take some shit. The room was very lackluster.
He had just if. You cut out.
He's gone. Papa, can you hear me?
We can't hear. You, Papa, can you hear my
voice, Rick? OK, there we go.
I cut back out. OK, I'm coming back in.
All right. Hopefully.
Yeah. No, being it just like just
happened. Yeah, the room he had was very
lacklustry as far as personal possessions of bare minimum.
He looked like just the papers on the desk and things of that
nature. OK, then we will have to forge
some paperwork at some point. I think we can do that.
Yeah, I should be able to with some help.
Not me. Thieves tools disguise kit.
I don't have a forgery kit so it'll have to be let.
Me look if I have. I'll have to go buy one though I
did never buy anything with my 500 gold so maybe I'll use it
for bribes. Or we can go buy one very
quickly. I mean, having one would
probably be good because, yeah, if we can't find the evidence we
want, we could just make it. Yep, we go buy a forgery kit and
while you and pay extra to keep them like quiet.
Finding information about Grand Am in the market.
Is that 1 smart? Oh yeah, that would be smart
too. Yeah, we do that.
Shopping and reconnaissance at the same time.
Or somebody does shopping and then somebody does
reconnaissance. Yeah, in like the Northern
District, yeah. Yeah.
I have very good reconnaissance. Not good math, but I can shop.
Like I mean, what are we all need then?
All right, so we need to buy. Do we call it a forgery kit or
do we just get quill and paper? I don't.
I would assume just quill and paper, but I don't know what the
like technical difference between the two would be.
I've never forged anything in my life.
You would. Forgery kits would include like
wax for making fake steel. Seals yeah, we would have a
variety paper, you know, certain types of papers.
Yeah, we would need all that stuff and then we'd have to pay
more to keep them silent. That's what I was just
wondering. I was like, if we just word it
differently, like hey, I need a quill and ink and paper and wax
because I. Need the entire.
I just I have a list of things. This is not a certain kit that
we want. Maybe, maybe there is the like
the, the, the castle's printer printing shop, right?
And where they have all that stuff, even some of the like,
even some of their seals, you know, for like mass invitations
to this gala that they're sending out.
That would be good to get like the seal itself, but I don't
know if they will. We yeah, we would need to forge
the forge invites to the gala unless we show up as the crew.
So hats off for you guys. Y'all were given a list of all
of the vendors. OK.
Is it on the thing? Yeah.
Do we have access to that? Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Well, no, yeah, props. Not not not my strong point
guys, but you are given the businesses of gold plate and
sons, Grand design, the iron cauldron, the stubborn goat
Brewery, Jim thumbs, marvels, rune light illuminations, rune
grip and company. Archivist Archivist words.
The iron watch, The silver bazaar, A deep chisel.
Grand Amphitheater. Could you talk those out?
Yeah, Is this written down anywhere?
I'm trying to write it down but he's so fast.
I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry.
You got me, alright? Where, where, Where did I lose
you guys? I got you down gold plate and
sons, and that's it. OK, hold on something.
About an archivist. And that was that, that those
people have passed. It's about the word silver.
Hold on. I'm about, I'm about to, I'm
about to place this in for you guys so that you all have it.
Beautiful. Yeah, see go over here.
Yeah. Audio information retention.
It's it's. It's iffy.
Information retention. Yeah, it's iffy.
Like if I hear it it's 5050 chance but if I see it.
And these are just some shops that we get list of or what was
this list again, I'm sorry the. List of vendors.
For the event. Yep, OK, we need.
One that could get in today though, Which one would that be?
Like? Who's in there setting up early?
One second I am. Yeah, do you think you're
typing? We may have to just go there
early and see who's setting up early and then yank them.
Yeah. And then.
Yeah. And then do it.
That's a good point. You believe in magic?
You know your own rules or. 12345789 and 10 everybody
accounted for making sure uh huh, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Oh, until there's actual action to do, my character is not going
to be very useful. I want to go heat up some soup
for my wife. There we go.
There you go guys. I'll.
Be back in. A little bit.
Oh, OK, OK. You're just following along.
Got it. Really long list for you guys
those this is the list of vendors that are specific to the
Grand Gala. The grand Gala, so.
Fucking fancy. Oh, it is.
OK, these names changed. These are not the names I wrote
down. That's fine.
Dare. They change.
Oh, OK, I see it. I see the name, actual name now.
I was looking at the first line as the name.
That's my bad. Yeah, yeah, my bad.
Yeah, the the, the, the business name is underneath their names
and kind of like what they kind of, you know, have, you know,
what they kind of do in like a short little blurb.
Oh man, let me open up discord. I'm creating a Google doc.
Please hold. Man, that was a good idea.
I'm writing this down off paper. Guys I have an excel.
I have an excel sheet matrix with all of your characters and
like information about them for both campaigns.
That's. Scary.
I I I can just see the the line. Ezra likes to eat stuff.
Actually I think I have like food and caps.
Head coordinator Thorn gold the plate.
We need to. Pay Suns and Grand Designs type
luxury event planning. High status dwarven ceremonies.
Sounds like we need to pay that guy a visit.
Yeah, we also need the forgery care, which should be.
We also need the scroll and invitation keeper.
I thought we got. Did we get invitations?
Yeah, I thought we got invitations.
I thought we did. That was one of our.
Yeah, that they got us invitations to be there the
night of because I guess that's when they wanted it to happen is
we did it during that event. Yes.
And. Let's see merchant coordinator,
stage and music supervisor, a lighting specialist jewelry.
Trying to think of any if, if any of these would be like good
to get somebody in on like security liaison would be good,
but we can't take the whole thing out and replace them.
What if we just approach these vendors and ask?
Yeah, the security liaison would be the best bet to get close to
it. And you could, yeah, we couldn't
replace the whole thing. We could just have like a select
key members that seem really trustworthy and be like maybe
during the event something crazy goes down and they like grab the
guy and they're like, oh, we have to get you to safety.
But it could be. Like on.
Two plants and instead of like running them back to the safe
room, they put them in a closet where we have like a portable
hole that we shove them into and then we run out of there with
him. Yeah, that's not bad.
Yeah, But yeah, I like that. Josh is also right.
We should talk to a bunch of these, but we need to talk to
him in like the right order because like we probably won't
be able to get to all of them. And.
And remember you guys remember you guys were also told that
there are inside men in these in these locations, so.
So there are some some gold people in these guys in these.
Business some somewhere inside men.
So some of these people are inside men.
Are they going to smell like the dust from that guy's room?
Is that how we can use it to identify them?
That's up to you guys. So we should.
The kitsune probably have the best smell.
It's into that. I don't.
I didn't mean any of. That anymore amico or or or.
I don't know if kitsune in this world have.
Or the back. Enhanced smell.
Of or, let's see, Nekumata. Guilt.
I'm not going to be able to say
your name, Jesse. I wrote it horribly.
Gildnall. Gildnan.
Lena. Lena.
Ah, OK. I thought that they did.
I'm looking that up there right now.
I think that I think that the most important people to check
on oops would be the head coordinator.
Me. Oh gosh.
All right, so, so we need to, we need, we need to determine how
exactly we're going to do it, right?
So like how, what, what is the exact path to knocking this guy
out or killing him, right. So from this list, can we, can
we conceive of the actual means and methods to either kidnap or
kill him? Yeah, at the bottom.
They have the the, you know, the the rights to get in anywhere.
Yeah, guys, walk anywhere with a ladder in your gravy.
Right Trap maintenance, locksmithing machinery.
OK, that might be a great thing for me to like we could, we
could be the team of maintenance and repair because I'm really
good at locksmithing trap stuff. How?
I'm good at breaking the things that more so that you can get to
the other things. You're the muscle.
You're the one that carries all the equipment.
Yep. All right.
Yeah. So we just we're just thinking
about replacing one of these crews and not like placing us
strategically throughout some of these businesses.
I. Think it's probably better to
stick together, but I think some of these other businesses might
be our method to actually getting at the Grand Am.
Like the bartender, brewmaster, if we know he likes to drink, we
could make sure that there's like a special, like see if
there's a special bottle just for him and then spike it.
Or you could do that with the master chef.
You could put a sleeping potion in so that everyone in the whole
hall falls asleep, which might be useful.
I don't know how the scroll invitation keeper would help,
but we could definitely get forging stuff there.
Lighting, jewelry. I can't really see that being
useful. Feast hall and catering.
So I think we, we, we take over the maintenance people, but what
is the method that we're going to use to kill or capture this
guy? Iron bands and binding and once
Olivia gets here the the manacles of non teleportation or
whatever. That's how we restrain him, but
how do we get it to the point where we can restrain him
easily? Sneak.
Well, if we are able to spike his wine, it'll be real easy to
restrain. Him.
So during the party, he's not ever going to be alone.
So we have to get him alone. We pass it out at A at a banquet
hall, then they're just going to rush him off somewhere.
But. They're going.
To rush him off to a private room to sleep off his
drunkenness. With his security team.
So where would he be the most vulnerable when he's picking?
In the bathroom. So maybe we go to the
brewmaster, make sure that he gets like, you know, overly
hammered so that. He has to pee a lot.
OK, right. We locate where this bathroom
would be and then maybe we use. Then we jump him and use our
maintenance credentials to get them out the quiet way, like
through the tunnels. So we go in as the maintenance
people and we exit and to establish our getaway path today
as the maintenance people and like clear the path.
Then we do Recon. We establish our escape plan.
We establish our means and methods to get them.
We have a map of the castle, yes, sure girl gave us that or
no? But again.
We were supposed to get a map of the keep, yeah.
Yeah, OK. I think first we need to pour
over those plans and see if identify.
Yeah, a room that has an escape path that would also right be
where he would be alone. Like, this is all great and all,
but if the bathroom isn't in a pride hallway or.
Yeah. We take out the maps and we
spread them out on the table. Yeah.
Wherever the fuck they are, I guess I'll go look online.
Oh, none. Amico is kind of like Crouched
Frog style on the table looking at the maps.
Oh, pointing at things. Look at that.
Wow. And that there may very well be
secret entries too. So we should look at the maps,
establish a means and methods to escape, and then maybe look at
it. And maybe we can kind of figure
where a secret entry might be and then look for it.
And Matic is snoring again, softly in the corner.
I talk him in. Sorry buddy.
We'll get some head smashing soon, Carl.
Sorry, I was going Franklin for a second.
Let's. See.
Why do I keep playing lizards 'cause you like them?
Only animals for me. Long as they're over 40 lbs, I
think in West Virginia you're OK.
What? You're welcome for the
unimportant information. No, nobody needs that.
Somebody did, and they're happy. To somebody needs it, you needed
it real bad. They changes.
So. Directly I just drag it.
We probably need to go to like some sort of thieves Guild shop,
right? Because we need poison for the
brew. Whatever one he's going to
drink. We need a forgery kit.
Hey Josh, remind me how to make it where y'all can see the the
picture on the the screen? I see.
Yeah, you popped up. You popped up a menu somehow.
I've not done that before, but on mine at least.
Weird. Now I can't get to it.
I return. It went into handouts.
You drug it over into the handouts it looks like instead
of where we all wrote stuff if you drag it on top of that white
space there. OK, buy some ladders, paint
stuff. That's cool though, I didn't
know that it open it up as soon as you drop something in there.
Maybe that just might be the jumpgate.
Yeah, I was like, this works, it's doing something.
OK, Yeah, there, there you go all.
Right, it actually let me see if I can.
Resize it and. Here's the thing.
Do we need to jump him or just kill him?
Well, if we poison his wine, he's probably going to have a
taste tester, right? All right, so here is the map,
the map layout of the entryway into Tillador Keep.
So I did have a question. Hats off to Rick.
Were we in an actual town? I thought for some reason this
whole time we've been inside the mountain already.
Oh no, the town is just the town.
So. Kind of like the Lonely
Mountains. We have big city around the
mountain, yeah. You muted.
Don't know if you did that unintentionally.
How quick can you hear? Can you?
Hear OK there we go Jesus Christ.
My my headset is possessed today.
But yes, no, the town that y'all are in is just South of this,
just South of the bridge area right here.
OK, got it. That was open to the sky.
I was unaware. Yeah.
Oh, maybe we should have. Well, we go to the market, Josh.
Maybe your character should go to the security people and see
if you can either cozy up to them or join their ranks.
Yeah. Then we could get a little more
information on like what his security looks like.
Yeah, I think we, I think we'd be beneficial actually to split
up. As much as we like staying
together, I think we might divvy it up.
So like I could do that as Maddock obviously go find their
drinking hole and see who they're, you know, just like a
cutscene basically of me going to there and maybe a montage of
me getting in or something, whatever.
And then whoever wants to get into the maintenance and repair
could probably swing me in into there too if we needed to.
But the then we we needed somebody in the in the bartender
and brewery, it sounded like. And the chef's possibly is
another really good one, I forget which.
One, I guess my question for the bartender brewery is how do we
get him to drink it before a attendant or poison person
detects it or they cast purified food and drink?
Right. So maybe not that one as much,
but. For sure.
I think for sure, the maintenance people, for sure,
gosh. Well, that.
Would. Be useful all of them scroll and
scroll and invitation keeping and or the how would?
The invitation keeper help. We have invitations.
For we were going to get a forgery kit at one point.
I think that was another plan though.
Yeah, I think if we do that, we shouldn't go to one of the
people that are going there, right, Unless they have someone
there like someone's like one of the guys that the gold shards
are in there or. Infiltrated.
Yeah, Well, we could do. We could definitely do the
security and the maintenance people then, yeah.
And then those seem like the most important.
Maybe just split off into two for that, like two groups.
Yeah. And then?
Well, we kind of need you for both.
Not as much in the maintenance well.
Yeah. So we need it.
We need it. We need the security, we need
maintenance, and then we need the head coordinator for the
itinerary. Well, I.
Think I could I could be a team head coordinator.
I, I think the thing that we're missing here is that all of them
will have to touch base with the head coordinator.
So whichever one we get into, we could be like, I'm lost, what
were we doing again, you know? Oh yeah, she's the end goal.
Maybe we should replace the head coordinator?
That's what I was originally thinking is I could be take the
place of them and then I would know exactly when and where he
will be right? Yeah.
But we need to create the opportunity to take him or kill
him and then our escape plan, right?
Yeah. So we need to go through
everybody's skills, what they have in their inventory and what
we need to buy. And then who would be best to
replace the head coordinator or other members of these shops
that are going to cater to the event?
I think there is no questions asked that our role should be
impersonating the head coordinator.
I am specifically built to impersonate people.
And perhaps you could as the head coordinator, get him alone
with something important, I don't know, something some some
emergency he has to attend to right now.
And that's when you throw us the signal as the maintenance and
security crew and we. Grab him.
Yeah, grab him once he's out of sight.
Take him down. OK.
Show him in the back and run away.
Rex, scare the shit out of me. Yes, you fools.
All right, you. Plotting our demise 1st.
We should we should go take over the the mechanical people today,
maintenance people and get into the castle and check it out,
find our escape plan. I don't know if we should
replace the lady yet until like we're ready because then I will
have to be the lady from then till the time that we do our
thing. So let's let's go buy our
forgery kit and replace. The maintenance people.
All right, let's see if I can get this to work now.
OK, go here. So we leave the dog pound.
Yes, Yep, and. Pack everything up and clean our
fingerprints. Give me a second and I'm about
to. Carl's not gonna get caught
because of a dumb mistake. You guys don't have your
fingerprints already burned off? I can't.
I use them to climb things. Right.
Yeah, and doing that I actually bring up the town.
As soon as this uploads I can actually show you all the town.
Wow, a real town. Yep.
Oh God, give me what I want. No.
Pony. I would love a pony.
I'm glad Pony he also had one of those many, many horses.
I can always come pet my horses. That is not a euphemism.
What else is the euphemism? Yep.
Mm, Hmm. He.
Sure does. Secondary question, can I ride
the horses? I don't know, Angie.
I mean, I know how to ride horses.
OK. Yeah, yeah, fine you.
Got no business being on a horse, just like you ain't got
no business jumping out an airplane anymore.
Why is if? It's like skydiving.
There it is now. Close that and then.
Skydiving Chill. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, that is one
of my big goals for the for the time is there's a veteran group
that does jumps for, you know, a veteran paratroopers and I, I'm,
I really want to go do it and have the thrill of jumping out
of an aircraft again. Yeah, I've done it at once
before. It's pretty sweet.
We get to the bridge, we walk across the bridge no problem.
Fuck this bridge. I look for traps everywhere I
go. Let me just clarify.
I have a 31 passive to find traps.
I see anything that's invisible and in the ethereal plane.
I have eyes and literally all directions.
I will find your shit. You didn't see what's his face
is trap. The dust, I saw it.
I'm the one who saw it. I just don't know what it is.
Oh, OK, so you can see the trap and that's about OK.
I mean I have arcana so I could do that, but I don't my my spell
list is kind of puny. Why this thing is load so slow?
Jesus, it's not that big of a map.
I feel it. Did you load it up with 1000
zombies? No, I no, I did not do.
That 'cause that would be a pretty big indicator.
I will not be able to stay very late tonight.
There we go. Excuse.
For what Amico does. Alright, so if you look to the
Far East side of the map, I'll see if I can.
Where's the little thing to make a thing?
No, that's not what I want, No. Is anyone else still seeing the
text written over the map? Yeah, I, I covered it.
I covered I, I officially. I officially covered it.
How do you do that? Only you can delete it, Rick.
Only I can delete it, yeah. But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Does everybody see the map on the thing now?
Yeah. Yeah.
Alright on the Far East side of the map you'll see the the sign
that says 2 gates. So that's literally running you
to the that'll be heading that bridge that you'll see in the
overview of killer door keep. That's that way.
So y'all are currently if I knew how to ping, how do I OK y'all
are currently right not not there.
If you hold left click. Left click OK Thank you.
Y'all are currently over here. Oh.
Up here. Right there.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yes, right there.
Yes, in that squiggly, inside the squiggly.
The text at the edge of the page is slightly cut off.
At the east I see to the something with AB to.
Hall of the Long Banner Can't read.
That oh that's that's strange. I'm mine cuts off after like the
first or second letter of each letter.
Yeah, OK. If you.
If you go to the I've been cheating.
If you go to the handouts and go to the star pyre, second one
there on the list, it pulls that.
You can pull it up in a second window and view it.
Like extra large because I'm blind.
That's handouts. ** Pyre. The second one, the one at the
bottom of the list, yes. I found it the.
Pits of Justice the. Long banner dash something?
Any time that Grand Am cast Stinking Cloud from now on, he's
going to lift his arm and declare them the pits of
justice. All right, but yes, this is the
the city, the the city proper, basically.
And we came in through and we're in, or rather in the traders
ward. Yes.
Alrighty. Lumbering through approach the
nearest affable looking person. I don't say anything.
I just turned my head to Carl with these on my shoulder
presumably. Carl, hello.
Hi, hello. Hi, hi, hi, hi.
Do you have a point lad? Or.
Are we going to just have pleasantries all day?
Carl, where are we going? We're looking for the
maintenance crew. We're looking for Ingrid and
Coal Shadow. A rust and cinder workshop.
We're looking for jobs. Also we need to wait.
Is there very clearly like a shady district in here?
Oh, and before we left the Tavern, I hid my fox features.
OK. Yeah.
I'll just be I'll also take the form of just like some dwarf
that I see outside. Passing I am a cat and I cannot
change my appearance. I just look you.
I'm a giant hip boom. I just don't want to be a
chameleon in front of everyone. I mean, I think hi lad, we're
looking for jobs. If you're looking for work,
there's a couple anywhere in particular lad.
I've always had the calling for plumbing.
Toilets. No, I I had my eye on what's it
called, the Rust and Sender Workshop.
I am a tinker, a locksmith and a trap.
A maintenance man and also a plumbing enthusiast.
I. You might head over to the ward.
They they, they could always use some work there.
Tinkerers. Well, if we could ever get him
out of this damn bar, well, that's in this area right here.
Kind of opposite. Ends up a little bit of
traveling for you to be going from one side of the city to the
other for just point. From legs, yes.
I'm going to need a perfect control for that.
A what? Oh, I the sarcasm of that one.
I'm going to need a, I'm going to need a performance role for
that. That's fine.
I have advantage against uncharisma checks against
dwarfs, bitch. All right.
I have a + 9 to performance. OK, 18 or a 12, so 18.
OK, OK. Well, as long as you're here and
you're prosperous to the city, I guess.
I intended it on another note, where would one find such things
as like paper and I I'm an up and coming.
I need to set up my resume so I I need paper and ink and like a
seal and I look at the list from the forgery equipment pack.
Well, lad, you might want to go across the the the the walkways
over to the scholars. They're pretty smart over there.
I mean, unless you, unless you're wanting to be, unless
you're wanting to be more entertained and then well down
over there in the amphitheater would be a good place for you to
go or you know. Where would I go to buy drugs?
What kind good melodies you know and such and such.
Oh, oh man, what? Are you guys rolling Rick B
Natty 20? But just just.
But you know, if you just want some regular pens and papers and
quills. Lord.
What is that old Cancers bastard's name again?
Go talk to Orvik. You'll find him just inside the
the Scholar's ward. OK, thank you.
I slip him a gold coin. You are a man of honor and a
dead of thieves, my grimace to the others.
Your acting's a little off today.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really sure what I was
asking him when the conversation starts.
Kind of winged it. Anyway, we know where the guys
are now, right? I think we go talk to the Ruston
Cinder workshop. We didn't need the paper anymore
if I remember correctly. Oh yeah, that's right.
No, that was that's true. OK, we'll go talk to them and
want to do a little roundabout of the place because we're going
to have to knock them out. So we're going to be real quiet.
All right, so where you go? Is this the the map we would
have gotten earlier too for the? City of the town?
Yep. Yeah.
OK. OK.
So and we and the keep is, I'm guessing this thing that looks
kind of churchish in the middle. Oh no, the keep is the other way
where it says 2 gates that way. OK, so we came in just north of
that and we don't, we don't know.
We we had another map of the keep.
I thought too, that's why I was asking.
Yeah, you have the the you have the, the the the aerial of the
front of the keep and the and the long bridge that's that's
across it A. Map of the like in the pathways
and the chambers of the keep. That's what I thought we got
too. Yeah, same.
You can't, OK. So do.
Let's go to. The maintenance people would
have a map. And they would have clearance.
Oh, go there and let everyone know.
I guess we're we're going to go in and try to take their place.
I have to speak with them for a minute at least to get their
voice down. OK, I can ask you any questions.
Amico, do you think you could steal some paperwork from the
maintenance folk while we're there, Emily?
I'm sorry I'm having a day I can't.
Really do that. Do you think you could steal
some paperwork while we're there?
Amico, the maintenance Guild. Yeah, point me in the right
direction. Go in this way.
So what start? Walking off towards it.
What paperwork am I looking for here?
Clearances, You know, affirmation.
Passes. Yeah, admins.
Jinx. OK.
Work permits would be good. I mean also maybe some of those
might not be generated until a work order is requested.
Also some some, well, we could wait a little bit outside for
you after the fact. I'm just going to ask him a
bunch of inane questions and Carl here is going to try.
I mean, I can, I can look for badges, but like any paperwork
saying what we're there to fix, we're probably going to have to
forage. Badges.
We don't need no stinking badges.
OK, so if we don't want badges, what do you want me to grab?
No, we we need badges. Oh, we definitely need badges.
Yeah, that was that was that was that was Rick quoting something,
I think. Yes, yes, it was.
Being a Dick, no, we definitely need badges for sure.
Like we're, we're essentially going to try to impersonate
them. So uniforms, badges, stuff like
that, right. And then anyone who's good at
combat, we'll probably want to be available because I anyone
good at combat, because we're going to have to take these guys
out like quickly. Oh, we're taking them all out.
Oh, wait. We're killing.
I mean, we're replacing well, all right.
Isn't the plan to replace the maintenance people?
We could do that. Let's do that.
I want to punch them. Like we take them out, we tie
them up. We don't kill them.
We just knock them out. We tie them up non fatal.
Yeah, we make that the the forward operating base.
Well, we don't need to do that anymore.
So just yeah, knock them out. Well, where are we going to keep
them knocked out if we don't take over their shop?
We're taking over the shop. OK, we're.
Just not. We just don't need to set it up
like a like a high space on purpose.
If we're just doing the job, go there, replace them, tie them
up, keep them safe. Go.
In there to replace our time up. Why do we need to sneak around
and steal stuff? We just take over the shop.
No, we don't. We don't know.
We're just going to. We're just going to knock them
all out. But.
Yeah, but we do need to make sure they're all accounted for
and nobody gets away. Yep.
So I'll. For your exit.
So. Check around the exits, make
sure. Yeah, so while y'all are just
standing in the middle of the, you know, the walkway, a very
stout, slightly taller dwarf company with three others clad
in what looks like really, really shiny armor and Shields
walk up to you. Hey, what are you doing?
Hello. We're headed over to the Yard of
Goodness Maintenance and Repair. We're we're looking for some
work. Well, we're new to the city.
We're a little lost. Sorry for loitering.
Sorry. I give him a gold.
Well, we were made aware of, we made we were made aware of some
strange beings over this way. Yeah, about your business cause
no disturbances. Hi, Sir.
Yes, officer, thank you for your your service.
And they I. Told you you looked funny.
I'm sorry I couldn't change my face.
No one can I kick you. So Amico takes a moment to look
around. What would you say the
percentage of like races that she notices in this city is?
For this area you would notice obviously heavily dwarf, heavily
dwarf here, but also there looks like a couple of half elves you
would have noticed probably some obviously you know gummy or dog
people, some Bjorn folk or bear people also roll through here
from time to time. 1 was in the bar, and there's also a weirdly
enough in a dwarven in a dwarven city you actually see elves
proper. OK, basically she was trying to
figure out if by weird looking folk if we stood out based on
our races or if it was something else.
Yeah, definitely. In this area you definitely
don't see a lot of GIF and you don't see a lot of orc.
OK, so part of it could have been the races?
Yes. Basically, do you want to roll
through this? OK, OK, so she she's making a
mental note that we're way more recognizable than she originally
anticipated. Yeah.
What do I look like when I'm based on like a cultural
societal thing? What does a it gets an A look
like when my features are concealed?
Do I just look like 1/2 lane or? Mostly what would I be asking it
as depending on, you know, height, you either get confused
as either really really short human children or really really
tall dwarfs. OK, really short humans or tall
dwarfs? Shut up, I.
Mean wouldn't dwarfs be stocky? Y'all's y'all's kind don't
always come in sleek and slender.
That's. Weird.
They're they're foxes. Foxes come and sleep.
Yeah, but I thought their their frame was small.
Let me go back to the. Description.
So we make our way over to the Guild or the the yeah, the
repair maintenance, the Rust and Cinder workshop.
You're gonna be right. Child.
Yeah, it I don't. So I.
Don't. Know who's the case in the
joint, but it's not me. Somebody's case in the joint.
I'll case it. I'll assist as well.
All right, so y'all make y'all's way over to here, dude, That's
kind of cool. How did I do that?
That's cool. OK.
And right at this little stairway, stairway right here,
you see the sign. The.
Other copy of the map. That says the Rust and Cinder
workshop, and so who's going in? Who's who's doing what now?
I was going to and I I think that or a ton should come with
me while everyone else cases it searches for back entrances.
Make sure no one gets out. And.
Would be very good at hunting down escapees.
Can you ping the location again? I was looking at the.
Right here, yes. I just might look like an
explosion when I do it. Can you do you?
Do you click it real fast? No.
Oh, you know, you might have the there's this new tool for
effects, the FX button down at the that you might have
selected. OK.
Oh, that. OK, I might want to turn that
off. No off.
It's crap. It's me, I'm messing with you.
I'm like, what am I doing? I'm touching something.
How so? The the way the building is
marked, does it appear to only be this corner shop or is the
entire building in the business? This is a 2 story, but the
entryways are all on the second floor.
Oh, So what are these doors? Are these windows?
These are windows on the outside, yeah, window, window,
window, window, window. And then on the inside, those on
the inside, they're all doors. OK, so you get up with these
stairs, but then how do you get into the building so it looks
like you walk up onto a wall A. Balcony.
Yeah, there's, there's, there's doors right where those are
supposed to be. OK.
So there's two entryways, there's the east side and the
West side. OK.
And then that goes that enters into this room.
Yep. And the other stair enters into
this room. Yep.
OK. OK.
So walk around the building looking for hidden entries all.
Right, give me an investigation check.
I will Don my eyes of my Newt seeing to grant me advantage on
investigation while studying an area.
I have A plus 12A. Plus 12.
All right, 2929. Oh, wait, no.
Emily was going to help case the joint.
You should do it, yeah. Yeah, you should do 18. 18 Yeah,
so. I mean I was looking for hidden
doors if you want to like do the case.
So for different things, here we go.
You notice from the ground level there does not appear to be any
door entries from the ground up ground level whatsoever.
You do spy the four outward facing windows.
There's two entryways, east side, West side and the only
other entry that if any, and this is even including Carl, is
there is a sewer grate right here.
Below the window. Below the window.
OK, how high up above the ground are the windows?
Could you jump safely or no? They're about 10 feet off the
ground. OK, so not really you're going
to. Hurt.
No, you're going to hurt yourself.
And the entire building appears to be the the maintenance
company. Yep, big.
OK, I'm standing up against the wall, picking my teeth
inconspicuously. What waiting for the the the
report to the go ahead to go in. All right, give me a performance
to be inconspicuous. Is it with disadvantage baby?
I'm not that mean, Jesus. OK, is a, is a, is an 8.
OK, Oh, boy. All right, so, Imeco, that's
what you see. And Carl, again, from what you
picked up, the sewer might be an additional entryway, not I'm
sure unless you go in. OK, and go ahead.
How far apart of are the bars? How far apart are the bars?
Yeah, look at a. Small animal.
Fit through the sewer of the Great.
It's it's a flat disk. Oh OK.
It's a like the entrance is down, not on a wall, it's in
the. Street like in New York?
Yeah, like a new, like, yeah, like a New York surgery.
Like a manhole. Manhole.
OK, how busy is the street? It looks quite busy right now.
There is activity. This is the basically the
borrower's ward, where basically all maintenance, metalworking,
and anything that has to do with the function and overall health
and well-being of the city happens here.
Right. Do you need any help looking for
traps? Otherwise, I'm going to join our
GIF friend and then be available to turn into one of these guys
to quell any issues. Yeah, I guess there's really
nothing for me to see on the outside if there's no doors.
No, like she was hoping to find like people the equivalent of
going outside for a smoke break type area.
Oh, like a smoke break type type area?
Yeah, that would have been around where the the sewer grate
sits basically, basically against the, you can tell by the
looks like ash and piped tobacco that's kind of like smashed and
rubbed against the cobblestone of street.
That's kind of where it's all looks like they congregate and
talk. Does it look like anyone's out
there right now? Let's see what is the chances of
them being out there right now. There we go.
There is one dwarf sitting outside right now.
What does his uniform look like? He looks like basically wearing
just a traditional commoners clothes.
He's got like a what looks like a tool belt around his waist and
he's just currently puffing away at his pipe.
Is there any like branding on him that shows that he's a part
of this company? That's.
Obviously apparent, except for the fact, like he, that he's
wearing a tool belt. Yes, on his arm there's like a
little little sleeve band with a a wrench and a gear sitting on
it. Is, is Ertan and Glennon sit
inconspicuously with me? As inconspicuously as a 7 1/2
foot taller it can. Be.
Yeah, and I said he made for four foot tall people.
So good, just that there's. A cute kicking my little legs.
Amico is going to go back to the group and report the type of
like uniform or appearance that we're going to have to emulate.
But there's a guy. So when you say that Carl's be
like there is a lone individual who works here outside.
I lock eyes with Carl and just walk up and deck the dude.
Amico jumps. You shouldn't sleep with my
wife, I scream out loud. We're hoping to do it quietly,
but sorry. Crowded.
You said it was crowded. Oh, true, you.
Said it was crowded the dwarf falls to the ground, grabbing
his grabbing his jaw, I. Walk up, take a very close look.
And from his back, where he was laid up against the the wall, he
pulls a large cylindrical object with a flare, a flared end.
All right, I try to grab the thing.
And I punch him in the face. Do you want me to roll for that
one? Oh, grapple his arm.
You gonna grapple his arm? I shouldn't be grappling, but
Darby, I have the bag out for this.
But we don't want to kill people.
That would definitely kill people.
So here's the thing I have. I have the bag of devouring
which like if you just shove someone in there they just die.
We need parts of him right? We can't.
Yeah, we need his clothing and his like icon and everything
like that. But later on, if we're in like a
rush, like I got like a very easy way of the dispose of
thing. Yeah, that's my strategy.
I'm just going to hold the bag open like someone accepting like
trash. OK, No, I I so attempt to grab
his arm I guess. It was horrified.
Does an 18 touch either you or Maddox?
Yeah, me now. You know, depends upon what
you're trying to do, because I might have to.
I have. You are.
You are currently staring down the barrel of a blunderbust.
OK, so it's it's it's a weaponry thing.
Got it. Yeah.
I have a 20 AC to start right now.
Mine's a 16, but yeah, 16 you. Should have bought this real
quick dude. No, that's what the other part
of my build is for, remember? So yeah, that blunderblast goes
off, it hits pneumatics. And Carl, I need a Dexterity
saving throw. And if IMCO, if you're next to
them with, you know, next to them, I also need Dexterity save
throw. OK. 19 Nope 25.
That will pass. I jump out of the way, I.
Think I have. And that will also pass as y'all
jump out of the way as the flare of the burst that comes out of
this just small shrapnel starts flying away as it hits and I hit
the little button. +4. I also take no damage on a
successful deck saving through. That'll be thirteen piercing
damage to you, Maddox, and you're not raging at the current
moment. No, but the that particular
effect does take effect if I take damage.
If you're raging. No, no, only if you're raging.
Only if you're raging. Unless you're.
Unless you are packed. Path of the Totem Where'd?
It go. I was just reading it, I think I
sent it here too. You did.
It does say that one, that one does say in peril during your
rage. OK, That was not what I thought
it was. OK, Yeah.
No, I took the 16. You said right, Or 10?
131313 And he starts hollering. Gods, gods, gods.
Jesus, knock him out very quickly guys, so that I can.
Take his place, all right? I kick him in the head.
She's backing up. I guess getting arrested is one
way to find our way inside the keep.
Right. She's.
Stealing away.
Blurry of blows beating the fuck out of this man.
All right. So I guess with that, we're
going to have to roll for initiative.
I don't even know where we're at.
Y'all are currently right here at this little purple ring on
the map. OK, Oh my.
God so. Fuck immediately started beating
someone to death. I don't know why we punched
someone, but we need them to be unconscious.
Well, we wanted them to be unconscious quickly so that we
could. Iron Man be Hulk.
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.
OK, like I said, I'd kick him in the head.
All right, where's that Dang initiative tracker?
Hold on, where's that at? There's turn order from.
Here just select a token I don't know.
I don't have a token. Just give me I'm just, yeah, I
must say I'm just gonna go with Yeah, no, I'm just gonna run
with turn order. OK?
So let's figure out how OK did it. 16 Everyone should have
taken the Sentinel shield as the greatest item in the game.
Wait. What which item?
Sentinel Shield. Advantage on initiative and
advantage on perception, and it's a magic shield.
Magic Shields are nice. Let us know when you need our
initiative numbers. Yeah, I'm trying to figure.
Right. OK, I'll just do it the old
fashioned way. The old fashioned way.
I mean I have a pencil and a piece of paper.
Wow, we're gonna go old. School.
This guy owns a pencil. Yes, I own a pencil the program
all right, so or tan. Me at 23.
Or 1023 Maddox, 1313. All right, Carl. 1616 Amico. 26.
26 My brain just sharded out. Jess, help me out here.
Klenna. Klenna. 14.
I've been hearing AG this whole time.
It's AC. It's AKKLENNAH Klenna.
Klenna All right, so, oh, wait, I might want to roll for the the
people. OK.
They don't get a roll. And the other people, he's slow
as shit. NPC, you should just sit there.
And take it. Just take it.
He's semi and wow these guys. Believe in NPC rights.
Oh, no, that's just the guards that are nearby You All right,
So first on the docket, Amico. What she?
Doing she is stealthing away. Stealthing.
Away she's leaving like Nah fuck this shit.
Give me a OK, Tell me how. Tell me how you're going to do
it. Tell me how you're going.
To do it so as soon as the basically as soon as the first
punch went flying, she didn't want to be associated with the
group that was possibly going to be arrested.
And so I wouldn't say she was directly nearby, but she was
like, I imagine the people that attacked him had to take a few
steps away from where we were standing, right?
And so she would have like, acted like a bystander just
getting hit by the AOE and kind of probably scrambled back on
her hands and tried to flee, like you're just a scared person
on the street and then stealthed away.
Give me a performance. Give me a performance actually.
Not stealth. Not stealth, OK.
You are trying to act like one of the the bystanders.
So give me a, give me a performance, OK?
All right, yeah, you successfully.
As this goes off, you see people running and you just kind of
like run with the masses and kind of head down this little
back, back alley area. Staying I stay with an eyesight
of what's happening. Like I don't move far so I can
still like join the fight if I need to, but I do not want to
be. The intent here is that I don't
want to be. If this goes SI don't want us
all getting arrested. Yeah, so you, you kind of like
nurse your way down this alleyway right here if you can
see what I'm clicking. Yeah, also, I don't want to kill
people that I don't approve of. Violence, not killing them, not
being a group decision out in a very violence in a very busy
street when there are guards all around us.
Yeah, that was a little. Hey, my character is unhinged.
I'm sorry. Yeah, that's what I thought the
eyebrows meant. Sorry.
All right, next. IRL, I'm not upset at this
decision. My character is.
Got it. Yeah.
All right, Next up, Huratan calling big bulky.
Whoopsie. Bringing.
Up Flurry of blows Punch, punch punch punch, Punch, punch,
punch. Let's go.
And without trying to kill him, right?
Well I do have non lethal on my own arm strikes so.
Sweet. +8 to attack. Let's do this thing.
Watcher. Is that right?
Yeah, that's right. Watcher.
Yeah.
Seriously. Rolling 9, OK, that's just the
base. Like why is it really with
advantage? I fucking hate it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have no idea how to hit.
14. Does not hit.
Man, it's just a fucking commoner on the street, all
right? Excuse me 18.
Will hit. Ended.
And 25. That will hit, so we're just
going to say that anything on the left side is what you
actually roll. Yeah, I wonder if this guy was
like part of the crew that already works for the guy.
Yeah, what if? Yeah.
Let me just beat the fuck out of him.
You. Gonna slept with my wife.
Yeah, what a dirty bitch. We got to teach him a lesson. 12
and then my brain no worky. Your brain no worky.
Brain no worky 12/21/21 damage. My brain no worky worky Amen.
Then working working. Alright, alright, 21 damage.
He is bloody as all get out, like spewing, spitting blood
right out. You know, from his mouth it's
just pouring out. The blows to the body have
caused probably some broken ligaments and ribs.
I'm. Trying to kill him.
I was going to say they're non lethal.
Yes, they. Wouldn't kill him.
Yeah, that's not going to kill him.
Ain't going to make it feel good either.
Sorry, whack. I'm.
Sorry, I'm sorry. All right, moving from Urchin to
going down my magical list here. I'm key left.
Carl. I will use.
Gosh, we're going to have to put.
Him away somewhere but I don't want to kill him.
That's the only way I have to take care of people.
About a different type of bag. I could swallow him.
All right, I guess. Gosh.
How fucked up does he look? Pretty fucked up at the moment.
All right, I'll cast sleep on him.
All right, you can't sleep. Display.
Display Spot believe this is a. So I roll 5 to 8. 27.
Is his health lower than 27 right now?
Oh yeah, it is that. Bitch falls asleep, I cover him
with a blanket and then gosh let me check my changeling thing.
I want to see if I can do this is what it costs to transform
into someone. That'll take another action, and
you don't have one. OK, well I'll free action cover
him with a like a tarp or like a trash or whatever is near.
Yeah, it has an action. I can change my appearance of
voice. OK.
And then I just act casual. Totally, totally casual.
Sorry we didn't break someone's heart.
It's fine. That's my turn.
All right. Moving from Carl to Kalen.
Who? Kalena.
Kalena, I heard Clint.
Yeah, we're going for a Clint Eastwood.
We want him now. 99 You were up. Lena, Jesse.
Hello. OK, there we.
Go now, we can hear you. Sorry, I was muted.
OK, it's Clint. We.
Yeah, we just thought we kept
saying your name horribly. So, so bad she doesn't even
recognize it. Are they talking to me?
The guy is unconscious now, correct?
Yeah, he is unconscious and I covered him with a bag or
bumping. And he's just like laying there
so. But we're still in combat.
Oh. Yeah.
Because the cops are coming, we got to move him.
Cops start over to. This little.
Mean teleport. OK, so where where this little
purple dot is correct? Yes.
And where are the cops at? Have they seen what's going on
yet? I heard here scream.
Cops are here, here, here, here, here, here.
So 4 of. Four of them can see you right
now. Shit.
And four of them are bearing down on you at the exact moment.
Alley. Yeah, I was like, the only thing
I can think is a dragon in the alley, but I can't do anything.
I am not strong enough to drag a corpse or an unconscious person
into the alley. Not a corpse yet, still.
Alive. I must say, I'm gonna say are
you going to stay? Are you going to stay to fight,
try to figure stuff out, or are you going to pull an Imiko and?
Saying you were. Scarce, yeah.
I I might want to like take off and try to get out of here.
Oh, pull, I see it. I became a verb.
So. Kind of small.
Am I able to just squeeze myself in between these buildings and
climb my way to the top? Or the.
Buildings like, OK, yeah. So I just kind of want to
squeeze in between here and. Then just like.
Hands on either building shimmy up.
Give me a acrobatics check. Oh man. 20.
Dirty. We're in danger.
Dirty 20 yeah, you're like Nope, and kind of like bounce, bounce
and grabbing a little purchase of with your with your claws and
just kind of like stoop Doo bye bye and hit.
Had myself on. The roof.
Look around as everyone of them. And then hit this and then you
hit this roof right where that 29's at.
Yeah. Good girl, OK.
Look around and just keep an eye out for like another escape
because I'm pretty sure that was probably like all of my movement
and I'm going to try to remain as stealthy as possible now that
I am on the roof. All right, give me a stealth.
Roll. 25.
You feel very, very hidden. Yeah.
All right, I'm. Just going to stay calm and try
to listen to the situation going on around while remaining
hidden. That's it, That's it.
That's all I'm going to do. All right, Maddox.
I straighten and start pointing off in the Where do you say?
Where do you say they're They're here?
They they are here, here, here, here, here and one heard the
gunshot from here. OK, I'm going to stumble
backwards after getting shot, holding the wound and kind of
like over like acting as much as possible across to the face of
that that the alley in this direction, like back away from
the spot where we're at and they're pointing in that
direction of the alley. It's incredible.
Trip with my wife. Just shot me and he ran in that
alley. Give me a performance role.
Wait, the dwarf? The dwarf ran in the alley.
Oh, no, I see. No.
He was still unconscious. But.
Something ran in the alley. 9 Alright, is he?
Breathing a. Nine.
No, I I just got shot. All right, let's see how well
they believe you, good Sir. I mean, being shot and freaking
out, it's kind of believable. All right, so get my my roll.
One guy believes you. His buddy next to him does not
believe you. Meets a beats it.
There's. Yeah, there's.
Four, There's four things. I guess and one of the guys on
the other side believe you and the guy next to him really does
not believe you. Racist.
All right, so from Maddox we come to the big boys.
By big boys, I mean the big heavily armored dwarves that are
going to come up to you guys, stand down as they lock Shields
to either side of you. Get on the ground and do it now
lads, it's. Not my turn.
Don't shoot I I put up my hands. How big are?
These. Guys, they're looking up to the
hippo, aren't they? They are the they are the
tallest. A dwarf can be standing in a
measured 5 foot 5. Immediately gets arrested.
Oh yeah, I'm of course I was going to get arrested.
You see this racist? Anyways, yeah, I I hold up my
hands pulled one away bloody, you know, evidently been shot
and get on my knees so I'm more more on their eye level.
I think that would put me closer anyways.
Yeah, so how good of a look had they have gotten of me if I was
facing towards this guy? They they, they, they know that
you're there. That Yeah, but but like, how
well of a how good of a look did they get?
Can I turn into a female dwarf that I saw earlier today on the
street and pretend to be his wife?
40 feet away. Genius. 40 feet away.
Like like can they make? Out like high or low?
Let's go with high and. Then go high.
That's what I am. Your God, that's like Callaway
level of luck. Are there the highest?
And there's only been one person that nails one higher than that.
That's a Callaway. So you're fucking huh?
You're fucking welcome. Yes, a distantly elderly man's
voice rings in your ears. So like I'll knowing that they
didn't like really see me, I'm going to hide my face, so kind
of like face away from them until it's my turn and then I
can cast or use my action to become a female dwarf.
The the one that looks basically all four.
All four of them. The fifth one is kind of as
y'all as they've gotten all the way up to you.
The fifth one has kind of finally, you're absolutely
useless. Go get a healer and you see him
turn right back around, start running the other way.
What do we have here? I've got what?
Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Why are we talking? Are we still in combat order?
Good. Right talking.
Wait, don't, don't attack the guard.
So God, now do you do whatever you're going to do?
I want to see what happens. The oh Shields are still locked.
One is giving commands, get on the ground, do it now.
That's the let, that's his action, and all the rest are
holding action. I'd used my reaction to to drop.
If that's allowed. Yes, I'm I'm selling.
I'm trying to sell it. I went down on my knees with my
hands up. But yes, so that's their turn. 1
gave a command. All three are holding action.
I know what are cons about to do.
So coming back to the top of the initiative order, Emico, what's
she doing in the alley? So Emico is going to stumble out
of the alley, kind of like clutching her shoulder, and
shout like, oh thank goodness, are you going to go get them?
And she points down the alley. Oh, I'm sorry, and I should have
modified my voice. She's speaking more like a
child. She's trying to be passed.
Well, maybe pass off as well. Pass off as innocent like more
like like young and just basically rambling on about some
guy that just ran down the alley and ran into her and knocked her
over. Give.
Me a exception. Role.
Oh nice, let's see 1 2/3 4. You're welcome.
From the western side of the guards, you go down that
alleyway. Or tan high is his bloody fist.
Oh, don't worry, there'll be a check for that.
No, that is, if they're not like letting us go, if they don't
just all take off from the deception check.
I know exactly what our town's about to do.
Oh no, just one leaves. Just one.
Yeah, I figured that out. And hey, Artent, what's up man?
He is going to sigh. He is going to scoop the
unconscious covered dwarf into his bag of holding and then he's
going to pop a key points for Sprint up the side of the
building. He just stole.
The body. And fucking do it.
I'm. Taking this.
All right, let's see how well, let's see how well this goes.
My movement speed is. Let's see here.
What is my movement speed? Where is it?
Should be 440 at the moment. Kind of.
The regular bag of holding is better for kidnapping.
Yep. Let's see with there we got. 3
minutes. And Pikes with Pikes.
Mine, he'd just be dead already. All right, let's see what
happens here with the Pike adding that to hit.
Movement speed. I have a movement speed of 50.
Yep, this is you have two reactions against you.
They're all going to be a disadvantage until somebody hits
me. OK.
My AC is 24. All right, so roll #1 roll #2
OK, that guy doesn't touch you. I mean unless you tell me a 17
touches you. Yeah, no.
OK, does the 20 touch you? No.
I thought not. Wait, wait, hold on.
How much key have you spent so far?
I have an AC of 23. Yeah, but I say, I know you
spent some keys, so. Spent exactly 2 keys which
lowers my AC by. One.
Yeah. Sound the alarm, YouTube, you're
coming with us. Is he talking to?
He's talking to Carl and Matic. Actually three you, Matic and
Amico. What wanted me, some guy barrel
into me. The street was chaos.
Liar, liar pants on fire last. Her.
Wait, hats off. But he believed me.
Oh God, no he didn't. But.
Oh, was something going on besides the rolls?
No, they the one there was one that got past you.
He had. A 25.
I had AI rolled 20. 50 right No. Oh my bad.
I was thinking with. The other.
Oh, never mind. Yeah, it's just the two Matic
and alright. And she never said it was a
dwarf, that she never described the guy.
That yeah, hit her. Yeah, so.
Yeah. And then, yeah, I would have
turned into a female dwarf and then turned around, falling on
my knees in hysterics. See, I don't know if we have
like, female dwarfs have beards. But now, see, I am a female
dwarf. She's my.
She's my wife. I look very simple.
Yes, see, I am. Tell him I'm so sorry my
husband. I.
Was unfaithful. I wanted a bit of real dwarf
meat, but so I went. And it was all him.
I know it was him. I never knew he would bring a
gun and try to shoot you. I'm going to need a deception
role. Oh my pure one.
I have advantage on charisma checks against dwarves.
I have a + 13 so. Oh yeah, I would have spent
another. SO if everybody missed me, I am,
because I don't think that was ever established that everything
was a mess ertane is going to be 150 feet away.
He's. Just getting the fuck out.
I will. It tried to murder you, my love.
Oops, sorry, Go ahead. I have a tattoo that allows me
to cast this guy's cell phone myself, so as soon as I'm out of
sight, I'm turning into a door, popping down and just moseying
back to our headquarters. Isn't that tattoo 2O1 use item
though? Or.
No, it is not. It is once a day.
OK. And this seems like a good point
to use it today. Oh, right.
And then you have to recharge it.
Yes. OK, I remember now.
Yeah. All right.
I cry hysterically. Oh, my love, I did not know.
I did not know he's tried to murder you.
With your weapon loss. Either way, they broke the law.
They're both coming in as soon as we catch the one who took the
body. Come on big fella, you're going
to the stock. And they proceed to come over
and put hands on Matic. This is what's called finding
out. Right.
Yeah, so I look at, I look. I give Carl the side eye again
when their hands are about to touch me.
Oh, no, no, my dear husband. Dinner date.
These are good men of the watch. They only want our safety.
We do not know the one who stole the man's body.
I just, I, I just acquiesce to their touch and say I'm sorry,
officer, for breaking the peace. It's.
Fine. I fall on the ground, weeping
and kissing this like the soldiers, like feet.
Please do not take him to the gulags.
He is a good foreign man. He gives me a right hump and
every once in a while he's worth keeping.
Please have mercy, he's a dwarf at heart.
Madam, please pick yourself up off the ground.
It's a simple civil disturbance. Oh, OK, he's going to go.
He's going to go before the magistrate.
Now if he has found that the we find the other dwarf and he is
perished, he's going to the stockyards.
Course and I hope you do fine at a dwarf.
It may have been the best fuck in me life but he tried to kill
me husband. I can't I.
Fuck you, we got out of it. You hear some gentle clapping.
I take my husband's hand and I say, come my darling, welcome to
go to the station, take care of this, and then you can Take Me
Home and use me like a flashlight.
I. Really want to never say words
again. I'm going to shut up.
God damn. All right.
This was beautiful and I think it should be nominated for an
award that's. Yes, Kalina, Imiko, yeah, y'all
are hearing all of this, all of this.
This. Is where we're good team, little
voice. Chimes in.
You can't split up that marriage.
They truly love. Each other, they have to stay.
Together, there's people just calling out in support, yes.
Just strangers. Peer pressure, Peer pressure,
peer pressure. If a love is true love.
Yes. Once you go hippo, you never go
back. Slow and steady wins the race.
Have you seen them Nova charging once they.
Once they let another dip, I tell you what.
I I let. Yourself.
Let me tell you. Throw myself on the ground too
and and say I have to keep. I have to keep.
Working so that my wife can feed.
I can feed my wife if I go to the stockades then I I can't get
a coin for her to feed but I can give you the the coin that I
have on me if that would help. Our 10 April wolfs and his and
daughters. She looks pregnant.
You can't starve a baby. Don't starve the children.
I'll suddenly look pregnant. Don't, don't, don't make it
worse on yourself. Just come to the stock.
How long? How long?
Is it in this? How long is it in the stock?
Oh, I think my water's. First, OK, OK.
Well, let's go. Let's go talk to the magistrate,
I guess. So you go from this location
right here all the way uppity uppity to here.
OK. That nearly killed me.
I had. No idea what I was going to say
until I was saying it. So she's going to lurk, like
sneak through the streets to make it appear that she's not
following this group but still sticking nearby.
Yeah, I'm going to do the same thing.
I'm going to sneak along the rooftops and try to follow them
as far as I can before going down in the streets and
continuing to follow them stealthily without being spotted
as much as possible. All right, give me a stealth
check, both of you. OK.
Dear God.
I'm glad this is through roll 20 and not me manually rolling.
Right. Or if DD beyond yeah.
Just absolutely wrecked your character.
You're. The Rocky talky Where are we
keeping this guy? Well, the plan was we're going
to take over the whole building, but.
So. Much for me on.
I've got a place for him in a bag, but he won't ever come
back. Good, I do.
So we need him to come back. I mean I have a bag of holding
but. Absolutely that they will die of
a bag of holding. Will die after three minutes.
Why? Oh, 'cause there's no air.
Yeah. Oh, so, so.
You should pull him out and just leave him on a bench.
Y'all y'all no issues with stealth.
Y'all are basically going following keep your you know
line of the line of sight of y'all away from the guards as
they take a matic to the stocks. Before they would have left
Carl, they would have told you sorry.
After we, after mom. As soon as we're done processing
him, the magistrates in him, you can visit him.
OK, my, you are quite big and strong yourself.
May you be ready for a tumble. Now that he's, like, out of
sight, I've got to play into the character.
She's a loose floozy. She wants everyone.
I will. We should drop him off that,
like, hats off. We should drop him off.
Cover him in, like, liquor. Yeah, like make him.
Put him on a bench, make him look like he passed out from
drinking. Yeah, like insert memories into
him too. That would be great.
We don't have. I don't have a fifth level
modified memory. Sleeping.
Oh, it was a great sexier life melody.
Oh, you were jealous. You wanted more to.
Drop him off on the bench. You go meet him after he wakes
up from being covered in liquor. And you're like, like with a
shirt off and you're just like, you know, tracing around his
chest like, that was a great time, laddie.
Oh. God, you could do that.
Yes. Oh, and.
Then just get her out a window. All right, I will if I.
This decision. I'll rejoin the group assuming
like I, I'm essentially being told the.
Yes. Go away.
Yeah, there's just, I told you, go away.
Come back when you get a mattress summon.
I walk away but I I leave and I like trail my finger along the
guy's like chest armor, I say. All right, ready.
Maybe next? Time might disappear into the
crowd to meet up with everyone else.
All right. Jesus fucking Christ we almost
got put in prison long term. You're going to get back to the
hotel room, I guess, to find ertam looking exactly like the
dude and cross legged in front of the other dude, still beaten
to a pulp and tied to an immovable rod.
Have just been used to like, pin him to a wall.
Because I've got 13 of them bitches.
Jesus. I assume the others are also
there. What were they up to?
I don't know. Yeah, Yeah, they were.
They were following Maddox. So Maddox.
And they would have seen seen Carl too.
So they were probably following Carl after he left.
That was in the stockade. It's up to them.
Yeah, it's up to them. Who wants to stay with Maddox?
Who wants to go with Carl? I would probably hang around the
stockade and just try to like, I guess scope out the building and
see if there was a way I could just get in to talk to him.
OK. Then I guess.
Well, wait, can we get? Well, I didn't realize that we
could go there and like deal with this stuff immediately.
I thought we had to like, wait a.
Second, oh, no, Oh no, no. He's going in to the stock.
He's going into the stock. I assume I will have to go with
him to continue the charade. Oh no, that was told.
Wait for a magistrate summon. Ah, OK then.
Yeah. OK.
Then I'll go back to the room. That's why I was trying to
figure out if I could get in there to talk to him, because I
was just thinking, I was like, maybe I could break him out and
then we don't have to worry about it.
Except he's a hippo. Might be noticeable.
A sneaky hippo. I mean, I already said I was
following. I don't think I can backtrack on
that statement. No, you were.
We were just saying that like you would have followed me and
Carl probably to there and then Carl is being told to leave.
Where? Yeah.
OK, then, yeah, I'll follow Carl back if All right, shoot.
What's your character's name spreadsheet?
Yeah, if Glenna is following Josh Mac.
Yeah, like I said, I'm going to start looking around the
building to see if there's a way for me to just like, sneak in to
talk to him from. The.
Outside in. No.
The entire outer wall is all this stone.
There is no actual windows. There is one entryway in and
that is it. Can I get to the roof
stealthily? All right, give me a stuff.
22. All right, Klenda.
Yeah, you definitely like, you watch the people and you kind of
see that, you know, down this little back alley right here.
It looks pretty dark, you know, because you do that being, you
know, back-to-back with these other little buildings right
here and give me an acrobatics. Yolo. 16. 16 The adrenaline must
have worn off because you don't, you don't springboard like you
did the last time. But you you get up there, it's
like, OK, adrenaline running off.
OK, I'm on. OK, you're on the roof.
I've got to claw my way up to less than S this time in
desperation. And what is your passive Clina?
Passive perception is 19. Higher low.
Are you telling me to pick high or low?
Yep. High.
So you get up on top of the roof and you initially see nothing.
You're like, OK, it's clear, no, nobody up here.
You look left, you look right, you look back to the left and
you come nose to nose. What look what looks like a
short blonde hair little half elf boy fumbling a pocket watch.
Fumbling with a pocket watch. Yep.
Does he notice me? Oh yeah.
I don't say anything, I just kind of like wave at him and
then like slowly take a step back, just keeping my eyes on.
Him he he continues to twiddle with his pocket watch.
You're not supposed to be here yet.
Or wait, am I early? Oh Dang, I just.
Respond back. I'm like, everything's fine.
You're right on time. I'm sure looking around.
Are you sure? I'm, I'm, I'm pretty sure.
He he he fumbles watch back in his pocket and kind of like
keeps his hand there. He pulls a little small little
notebook from his hand. He starts flicking through the
pages. No, no, no, no, I'm not, Not
yet. Not yet.
OK, You're not supposed to be here yet.
You should leave, but before you do you should really look over
there. I look in the direction that
he's pointing. It's literally right behind you.
Oh God. I look in the direction that
he's pointing. And there's my head.
Yeah, there's nothing behind you.
He's gone. And when you turn back, you just
see glittering sand falling to the ground.
I I I go over to the sand. OK.
Gotcha. I'm going to lean down and give
it a tiny little sniff all. Right.
Does it smell like anything? It's smells like your very first
birthday, the the first time your family threw you a party to
celebrate you. It smells like that.
I'm like, that's an awkward memory.
Oh well. And then I'm going to pull a
vial out of my bag and I'm going to scoop as much of the dust
into the vial as I can before corking it and putting it back
in my bag. OK.
And I'm going to do a scan of the rooftop to see if there are
any vents, chimneys, openings that I might be able to use to
access the building. There are two chimney points
that you see on this building and one looks like the
traditional square chimney and the other one looks like a
chimney but it's got like 2 little stoke pipes popping out
of it. One that sits right here is the
squared off 1 and then you got one just about right over here
that looks like the the one with the pipes.
Does it look like I would fit into either of these?
Remind me, how big is your character again?
3 foot 3 inches and I weigh 40 lbs.
I'm going to guess that you're very lithe, Nikamada.
Yep, I am on the smaller side. Got it.
It'll be a tight fit through this, you know, the normal 1.
You definitely know you're not squeezing through the pipes.
OK, I'm going to make my way back down off the roof and I'm
going to try to go back and meet everyone and explain the little
kid that I saw and show them the vial of dust.
All right. After explaining, I tried to see
if I can find a way into the building and was unable to find
one from the roof or the walls outside.
Alright. Hi there.
Or am I still following I'm? Following one spot now.
Yeah, you and Carl went back to the Tavern and Yeah, and now we
are going to shift over to Maddox.
Maddox, you are brought into this room right here.
I. Wasn't.
I wasn't looking, sorry. I see it now.
You're brought before a kind of elderly looking dwarf that's
sitting behind the chair. What's his crime?
And the dwarf that's right beside beside you.
Public disturbance. Another one.
They have half off on the bruise.
Jesus. All right.
How do you plea? Guilty.
But if I might state my case, Your Honor.
He looks at you for a moment. Bad Dantas Beard, who did not
get this man a healer. He's been shot.
The guard that's standing next to you kind of gives it.
Oh crap, look, expression I I sent for a healer.
I see that you're saying it, but he still got a hole in him.
And so they they take a moment and lad, before I hear you out,
I'm going to get you patched up and then I'm going to bring you
back here before me proper. How say that?
That would be appreciated, your Honor.
All right, bailiff. And he points to the dwarf right
next to him. Put this gentleman in the stock
behind you. And he gestures to the the small
cell. I say small.
It's roughly by about 10 foot by 10 foot cell right behind you.
OK. And he's like, we'll put him in
the head for now. We heal him up and we'll get him
adjudicated. So a couple hours passed by,
healer finally does come and he looks exhausted.
I went to the I went to the square and this little gnome
just looks just frantic. They said, they said, they said
the man was at the square and he looks over to you.
Oh geez, does are you in any discomfort?
Quite a lot. OK, I'm going to have to ask you
to to show me how bad it is. This is my first day.
I pulled. My hand, pull my hand away from
the wound that it's just been. I've just been holding some
bundled up cloth that I'd found somewhere, maybe in the cell
even away from it. And he, I am.
I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.
Oh, oh God, OK. He starts breathing heavily.
OK, I can do this all right, and this might be discomforting, but
I am here to help you, Maddox.
I need you to roll me a Constitution saving throat.
Oh God. Oh boy.
Good thing that that's pretty good for me I guess.
Oh man, my rules are. Shit.
Tonight 11. He definitely you definitely
could tell he's new you you you hold your composure and you keep
conscience as he is attempting to dig out the the ball and sew
you up. I just.
Don't bite my tongue because I could bite it in half with my
tusks and just grumble. I'm so sorry I'm I'm still, I'm
still new. I, I haven't learned the magic
to actually heal, heal people. I promise I I know what I'm
doing. Thank you for your help, even
though it pains me. Do you have anything for that by
the way? Oh wait, the the head priest
gave me. Oh here, have this little Berry.
It's supposed to help. I eat it.
One I part. I part my massive jowls and I
place it on the tip of my tongue.
And the one little Berry especially like it, it's like a
little anesthetic basically. It starts to numb the pain in
your body. OK, it's a.
Little bit better. I will sit.
I will. I will let the parish know that
you you need a little more healing than what I was there.
But the bleeding, the bleeding has stopped.
And he kind of gives you like a, a, a little thumbs up, both
hands. Keep this dude.
Thank you. Good.
I don't think they don't. I don't think they took anything
off of me yet. And so I pull out of like one of
my folds of skin, what looks like a little pouch and and I
hand him the single gold coin. If you could hurry up with the
rest of the healing. Depreciated.
Oh, oh, no, no need. No need.
Our services are, are are are are are are are part of the
gracious patronage of the Keldors and they fund all of our
our needs. We do not need your money.
Well, that's it depreciated. But yes, Maddox, the only thing
that was taken from you would have been probably the the
Halbert. Good luck.
And that is where we shall leave Maddox at the moment,
transporting the scene over to the dog pound in the backroom.
What you doing? Yeah, what you doing, Emily?
So did Carl and I both go into the backroom together or like I
guess I'm I'm missing the transition of when when he
entered the building versus when I did following him?
Probably could have went in together.
Yeah, if it with Carl, yeah, he noticed you pretty well.
The the three minutes in the bag of holding has obviously
expired. So is he just like carrying the
body out in the open? What am I seeing?
I don't have the body. Yeah.
Oh. The our monk friend ditched us
like nabbed the body in his bag of holding and ran away.
Hurricane. Hurricane.
Oh, OK, I'm sorry. I thought I was following the
body. I mean, we are we're going to go
to the to our hotel room where he brought it now, I assume, but
I just don't have it. I was pretending to be a.
Oh, are you still in your your dwarf wife form?
Yeah, I don't want to like if people are following me.
Yeah, so we should, we should probably find.
Oh, crap, what's this? What's this face?
Still learning the names in our tan or tan or tan.
Hurricane Hurricane He. Is not hiding.
All right, we should go back to our hotel room.
Until my dad has been returned. Yeah, we should probably help
him with either you, but you know what he's going to start
going towards the the stair. But she's got her hood up, and
because she doesn't have her fox features, she's trying not to be
recognized. All right.
So we're heading upstairs. Yep, I will follow you.
So as you start heading up the stairs, you'll say hi to Bolton.
Lizzy sniffs the air at you. That the bartender.
Yep, Yep. I assume he doesn't recognize
me. No, he doesn't recognize you.
Yeah. But he recognized your smell.
Oh, both. Both of our smells.
Yep. Oh.
What was he man again? A dog man.
Yeah, Yep. Sorry sorry for being rude I was
just super tired just trying to get back to bed.
Oh, did I forget? Did I forget to give you a room?
So I thought I gave you a room over there.
Well, we're not heading in the direction in the direction of
our room. I assumed we were.
You said, you said upstairs. Oh, I thought a room was.
I thought all the rooms were upstairs.
No, no, y'all got the room that's down the hallway?
Oh, I thought that was just the like the like a, a common room
area or I thought that was like more of a not common room, but
like I thought it was like a private room for rent that
wasn't a bedroom. No, no, it was a private,
private room. Oh, like a an.
Yeah, like a room. Yeah, like a room, Yeah.
I'm sorry, I meant to be walking to that room.
OK. I was like, wait, OK, yeah,
yeah. So yeah, I just, I just need to
lie down for a little bit. Do you need me to bring food,
drink to the room for you? I will send Pepe, he's very
fast. I'll just grab a water while I'm
here. Oh.
Think a bottle of hard whiskey would be great as well.
Gives you a bottle. You know, a long time ago I was
told not as strange questions of people, but must ask why you?
Why you dressed like ugly dwarf woman?
Well, you know, it's hard out there for changelings sometimes,
you know, clients, they want a certain look.
So for the right price, I will be whatever shape you wish me to
be, right? And I put my hand on, on, on
her, on the. What was your character's name
again? Emily.
Amico. Amico, I'll put my like hand on
her arm and she likes dwarf women.
Yeah, you know, not me. I, I I try to run respectful
business here no. We are friends.
Yes, just keep the hanky Binky confined to your rule.
Of course that's where we're. Going.
Yep, gonna bang one out. See you later, but.
I'll still take that water. Sure, you you seem like you
might need. It.
Yeah, yeah. I need to get out of the skin.
I can't like this lady is too horny.
Oh, as you all leave, he whispers.
Foreigners are so weird. We enthusiastically retire.
Yeah, and once we're through the door I'll change back into car
like my regular scan. Carl, that Lady was woof.
I mean, apparently I liked her. So keep that bookmark, that one.
Before. Yeah, why?
Don't you just looks at you guys as you walk in with a very
confused expression on his face? The dwarf hidden out.
Dwarf hanging from the wall by 4 like sprayed eagle by like 5
different immovable rods. I tell him if the Barky Basques
were together, don't ask. Eligible ground.
If I need to, I'll also be with him.
I'm just saying I don't like have I?
As long as the barkeep deems it respectable, and we'll give her
that, right? Yeah.
Other than that, you're mine. And there's like a finger one in
between the dudes teeth, just like a bit gag, just like.
All right, well, so here's the thing, Maddock is in the stocks
dealing with whatever is going on.
If they find this guy's body then medic will probably get
arrested in the put into prison for a long.
Time. Can't have that, so we either
need to dispose of him or we cover him in whiskey and drop
him off somewhere and make it look like he got really drunk.
Or I look pointedly at you. He makes another appearance.
Or he makes another appearance. Yes, but how would what would he
do in a way that I would not also get arrested?
Go to work. But then I would be picked up
and questioned and then arrested because he shot someone.
Oh, true, true, true, true, true.
Is can he hear this conversation?
I don't know if he's conscious or not, but.
Is he conscious? She hit him again.
He was put to sleep. Yeah, but that only lasts an
hour. An hour?
OK, that's what I was wondering. So in hushed voice to not wake
him. I'm like, I, I, I don't feel
very killing this guy. I didn't sign up for this.
I've been trying to protect you guys as much as I can and help
you out here, but like, I'm not killing him.
I don't have to kill him. I say he wakes up drunk
somewhere. We can just leave him here.
Point. And I think you got to pretend
to be the lady that he slept with to drive it home that he
doesn't remember when he wakes up drunk.
Act offended that he doesn't remember you.
None of this will change the fact that I kidnapped him and
guard saw it happen. Well, all all, what does he
know? He knows that a gift ran up,
accused him of oh, they saw you like pick up his body.
Oh, that that complicated. Day see him pick up a body.
I thought the body was hidden under a tarp.
They I mean, it was. Something under a tarp, into a
bag and then Sprint out of their matrix style.
Are we sure they saw something, or do they see a body?
Because you could have been an opportunistic thief stealing
something. Several of them what you got?
Several of them saw the fight so at least some of them see me
cover the body. So I assume they know that the
body was picked up and stolen by a monk like individual.
Maybe. Maybe he is an organ harvester.
Maybe he's unrelated, I'm just spitballing here.
I'm not. I don't want to kill the.
Guy, I mean, we'll be totally. I don't think we can.
We need to kill him. We just need to keep him either
out of sight long enough for Maddock to get just released or
I impersonate him and deal with the police as well.
Who is he? He is an employee of the
maintenance crew. That's the original plan, the
event. That's working the event, Yeah.
OK, then you, you can you not just can you not answer some
questions? Isn't that like your whole
thing, Mr. Heist man? It is, but he shot someone so
he's already guilty of a crime. In self.
If I go, sure. But if it's self-defense, then
Maddock goes to prison. Yeah, that was going to be my
I'm not there, but that was. We need it.
We need Maddock not to be in prison and so that means making
this guy guilty, which if I go in there and am guilty, I will
go to prison. Maddock out of prison tonight.
Then he will be haunted. Then then he will be wanted.
A giant hippo man in the city. Hard to hide, we.
Could put that. I think the easiest thing to do,
put this dude somewhere, cover him in liquor.
Like, get him properly fucked up.
Yeah, just leave him somewhere. And then it's his word against
Maddock and mine, who it would be his wife.
Slash this guy's mistress. I'm all for that.
I think this is a bad idea. Just frame him.
What would we do then? I would much rather I think.
I would much rather keep him here.
That's fine, we can hold him until later.
I think Maddock like, I don't know.
OK, we could hold him, but eventually he's going to wake up
and I'm worried about keeping him quiet in an inn.
We may need a different location, something a little bit
more remote. Right.
Or something where screams are acceptable and.
I mean, keep them gagged, right? You just keep them gagged and
restrained in here. Do they have?
I mean, I think we're good like it's.
It's kind of a risk. He mentioned a delivery, some
delivery staff for food. Do they come into the room like
this? Keep him here.
I think he is likely to be found.
Right. And that all depends, but it is
a little past eight, I'm going to call it here.
We can plan our next steps on how to deal with this.
Everyone got a week to brainstorm Go.
We got to figure out this foster clock all right.
The old. Plan survives first encounter.
Let's go. Especially when your first
encounter is to just punch in the in public.
Deck a guy in a busy St. As the man that usually is doing
the punching in public, I understand, but this is the.
It's just fun. Yeah.
I'll talk to you guys later. Have a good night.
Thanks for the game guys. This.
Is a great. Session.
I love this. It was good it.
