Hello Fair listener. Welcome and thank you for
following our journey on metagaming Byram, propelled
gaming, fair warning. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe. For real life, Journey forth at
your own risk. Now, let's dive right back into
Tara through the campaign, a Lollis.
Yeah, I forgot. Here the two the adventure is
known as the rum rollers entered the CD of Socrates, son blazing
orange to the west and the green of yggdrasil speaking over the
East Horizon and the gates leading to the bridge. over the
wall into sorties with those shimmering blue walls to the
South She is namesake, help them enter the those gates with her
blue scales and over and over to the bridge of admonishment,
along with cats stunt before getting kicked off the top of
the tower. After the cuff, fluffle at the
gate. The drum rollers Traverse the
bridge of admonishment over the wall into the entry Plaza of
Socrates briefly exploring the plaza.
The rum world has decided to head to the market and to do a
little summary of what happened in the market.
The sun's rising up to midday the as the rum rollers rounded
the bend of the blue ring District.
Mysterio, Hamilton and knepp mimei and Cat overheard, some
guards in a civil dispute about Herpes.
All about all, but cat hurrying on notice the first pops of
color over the cliffs. Denoting, the market climbing,
the bridge, into the market, nap, overheard some musicians,
jamming, and decided to join in snapping one of his lute.
Strings in the process hurrying away in shame.
He noticed his Notice the plate of protection buzzing away in
his belongings hurriedly pulling out the plate and spinning it
up. It fell from his fingertips and
over the cliffs, opening it up a portal near the fountain.
And this the distractedly arguing, guards entering the
portal onto the deck of a dune. A nip found the disturbance to
be related to the arrival of four new companions, the Ralston
Brothers, rural growl, and Jeffrey the Magnificent.
After. Confusing confusing,
introductions, net, return to the market and had me meet
handed. Me May the plate and and
proceeded with his own confusion confusing.
Introductions of the Rosslyn, Brothers whereupon, knepper
retired to a dune, a promising, the Ralston to strike up a band
against the to bards at the end of the market to redeem, his
honor, then me make at and the relson brothers proceeded to
find Where's that caught their eye and haggle for them?
Oh knepp, retired onto a donate, with wisteria and Hamilton.
That's where that other note was.
It's got about that. Let's wisteria.
It that's up. The, what brothers?
I'm so confused. We have set of Brothers shopping
with us right now. Let's find out what happens is
like just like NPCs. So, basically the way that he's
flavored and I'm sad to say that he couldn't make the session to
explain it himself, because it's fairly entertaining, is that his
Club one of his classes, That he's starting off with allows
him to have like an NPC basically that follows him
around as a bit of a squire and holds tools for him being that
he is a Bard in his actual profession.
The the squired ones can't really do anything in combat or
anything like that. From a mechanic standpoint but
they they can be used in reckoners.
Yeah, you know. Packed with different things and
strike up a band If he if need be but otherwise he's kind of
like a One Singular unit so he's basically playing for severed,
characters. Yeah, more or less but all the
other ones are even hard to tell apart from the the original
ones. That's one of the things that
they were finding last time. Interesting.
Well, that should be fun it, right?
And yeah, if you wanted to hear an introduction of themselves,
you can listen to that last episode from this, I guess
otherwise that's summary of that because they're just going to be
staring. Did I doubt into the distance
this episode And often the background.
Yeah, that's where you guys pretty much left off.
There are some there's always more details than what I
gathered in a short minute or two recap for you.
But Gets you the main points. So it does look like are we
still under contract from some sort of demon?
Yes. Yeah.
I love that's a fact that that's the sentence.
I can just say, oh, we still under contract of a demon.
It looks like I did leave Hamilton out, so I guess he
didn't. Move into the ship when wisteria
and nap went back on to it. I don't know if that's where
you're actually standing though. Hamilton or Okay.
Only see a black screen just abandoned, you buy that nice
fountain. Yeah, it was less of a fountain
more of a giant Porta-Potty. I think we determined.
Okay, what's the difference? This one?
If it shoots out water, you're running away rather than running
into it. Is there any armor shops in this
bizarre? There there is.
And you just senior companions kind of wandering South along
the path. After me, may had been doing
some bargaining with a And walked away with a new weapon.
It looked like from a red tent. To to your right down the path.
I would like to go to. The armor shop.
Take me to the armor shop. Boop video right now you said
that was the weapon shop there. As you're standing at it.
You see that the individual as you're walking by the other ones
to the other. So far, have not had any sort of
metal working, but he seems to deal in weapons and armor.
And what you see before you standing behind his tables are
is a large lock sadang or elephant.
Type individual. The perception.
Okay, let's see if I notice anything.
Eye-catching. Sure.
When in like the armor I'm looking for isn't metal because
I don't want to I don't want to affect my stealth, right?
Right. But Duke. 25.
So your thoughts are you know skimming along and you're you're
only glancing at the table as you're walking by trying to not
make too much direct eye contact.
You know? So that they don't think that
you're interested. But your eye does late catch on
a particular piece. Although metal, you are familiar
with its workings, only in hearsay of a mithril set. and,
you know, from experience that said, armor does not have any of
the disadvantages of normal metal in its ability to Yeah,
basically just doesn't have any stealth disadvantage.
Good evening, sir. Can't help.
But to notice who beautiful set of mithril armor you have there.
Well hello yourself. Yes you have a Keen Eye to have
noticed such a thing It would, I could I be so bold as to ask the
tried on. He eyes you up and down, looks
at the pieces and goes, you know, you might just fit and,
but yes, you may, and he lifts up the pile of armor, being a
full set. And is too shabby my way into
it. And it seems to fit quite nicely
it's a little little snug on the shoulders and a little little
loose around the hips but you feels otherwise pretty nice.
That get it would totally totally work.
As is this, it feels amazing. Yes.
Unfortunately I can't claim that honor, but you do look damn
fine. There sir.
Damn fine indeed. One second.
Is mithril elf made, or is it dorvan?
Generally the dwarves would make it but the elves would requested
specifically because of its lighter nature as well.
Being not so heavy but still having the same qualities of a
Really nice set of metal armor. Just just pointed something out
to me. Yeah, so I told you about how
blind went on like a killing spree found Hamilton's father
and killed him. Right?
Huh, in mithril? I didn't put this together.
Just us didn't makes all kinds of sense. and if mithril is like
so common with the elephant's, when since this guy didn't make
this armor, is there any chance that Hamilton would recognize
this armor from his village? Roll me a history check.
As you're looking at over on you and checking out all the little
fixings, you do especially notice some of the linking
pieces. So the leather portion of the
armor that's holding the plates together.
You're familiar act Yourself by on a first-name basis with the
Craftsman. You're quite sure that a done
this because you recognize his stitching in it, And sure.
I'm drawing a blank. I'm open to suggestions.
Drawing upon your theme. You could probably go with.
Something simple and straightforward like Harrison?
Looking at this armor, trying it on getting the feels for it.
I notice The metal working on the Belt that you said in the
clasps, and I asked the shop. Keep, so, Dude, do you have any
idea who did make this? To be completely honest with
you, little one. I I could not say with any real
certainty other than it is of a village of elves.
It was from I don't think I ever named my Village.
Horrible backstories goddamn. I don't think I was that bad.
You can start look utilizing the beautiful things that we have.
Now of a eyes, there's ones that will come up with entire
backstories for you if you, if you so wish.
I've if I find one, I'll make sure to forward it your way.
Actually, I do know of a couple of hand Don John.
For instance, does a lot of yeah, we'll go with that.
Would this happen to be from the village of donjon?
Oh sure. I like the way that one.
Sounds sure. well, you've caught me up a bit off God, I've just
so Done great business, just with another just moments ago.
And at that, the name is really feeling me, currently of where
this Village is from, or where the words, yes.
Where it hails from. Because this seems very
familiar. I'm not trying to let.
I'm not letting on that. I know who made the armor.
Yes, yes, yes. Well, you know, considering my
good fortune currently and taken to the armor so much.
I think I could strike a pretty good bargain for you.
I'm gonna take the chest piece off.
I'm going to set it on the table, I'm going to look on the
inside. Of the plate of the chest plate,
and look for an insignia. Of of like my family's Royal
High Elf. Insignia, you do, notice the
Hamilton Crest in the back of it.
Hamilton's take him back a second and just almost as if he
just seen a ghost looking at this plate.
And I look up at the shopkeep. And I hold out my arm, I turn my
arm over and I pull back my bracer to show the same Insignia
tattooed on my arm. Oh, looks like it's wonderful
fate that has brought you to this armor.
Provides the locks are done for you.
I need to know where you got this armor.
I don't know if I can be completely honest on that note,
if I'm being honest, you're not says under his breath.
This armor is from nowhere near this area. that I could be sure
of that I can say that I've had some dealings with the law
enforcement and Pirates alike. He says holding his breath even
lower and we'll say this one came from the Pirates but you
know I gotta keep my businesses straight.
I understand. And you can see like Hamilton's
mind just racing and thinking and a slight panic and it's
like, there's no way, there's no way to can't be he's dead and
above the overtone of it. He's saying to kind of seeing
your anxiety to it. He says, you know, I just for
the the The Plea, pure Simplicity of the matter, I
could knock it. Knock this price down to an even
200 for you gold that for a full set of armor is unheard of in
these parts. He says all sort of by your
silence under your his breath. I'll go on nervously, like still
in, like shock of looking at this, our merge shake my head
and not say a word, and I'll put the coins on the table.
And as you're putting the coins on the table, he sticks out, one
of his limbs that is ends and not fingered appendages.
As in a shaking gesture, though, But it would appear that.
I am a tad short. I only have 170.
Did you add all of the reward from the chest when photo showed
up? No, I don't have any of that on
here. Yeah, we just go over to because
I know me May for instance, had a decent chunk and I was just
trying to go over to some others or were you holding it all me.
Me, and did you just spend it all on your armor?
greetings, by the way you're muted if you're well, yeah, he
sent me a decent chunk of what the reward from garganta now,
before we split that, that's what I was, that's what I
remembered to I was trying to go back into some other Cuz if not,
if you left me to hold it. I just spent all of it on the
sweet armor. So I was under the understanding
that we had split that everything.
That's what I was thinking, too, because it was like 10,000 plus
gold or so, and I'm just, I was just going back in other
people's inventory. Yeah, yeah, it looks like you
guys had split it up that and into that and it I'm blanking
offhand. But if you would have had easily
1,000 plus that 100 in your inventory, Yeah.
I had over 1,000. I don't think I had any gold
before and if I did it was like miniscule.
So just say 1000 in addition to what you have for now, and you
can go back and confirm unless you want to start making an
accounting skill to just go with it.
That sounds good. Okay I'll take 200 out of it for
this armor. Yeah.
Under jeez. Yeah.
And do you shake his hand? I shake his hands.
Like thank you. I do you shake a poor sinner his
hand. And as you go, to grab kind of
the side of the, I need to really figure out what that's
called on an elephant but The hand portion.
It's not a hoof. I know it's not a hoof, but
could you grab you up? Yeah.
You grab it, and you shake it and you feel a slight tingling
rep from your hand all the way around and up your wrist to your
elbow as his says, you know, deals.
Well struck, Annie says again under his breath, while scraping
the gold into a pouch of is just keep it between me and you where
it came from. I'm sure we'll be back to do
more business. Thank you, sir certainly Put the
armor back on and still just completely shocked and stunned
at what I'm wearing. Literally start walking away.
And as you're rounding, the bend in the path around the one of
the glowing flowers, you see a group of what looks like for six
foot tall. Cat humanoids.
Oh, And a meme a between their legs.
You know you you glanced in a cat jumping back and forth to
and as well as one of the cats purring loudly as they hold what
looks like a pillow, the size of them vibrating in their arms.
Hello with special attachment. You can see the attachment from
that angle this button. Mention that it.
Oh I figured it'd be freakin obvious.
No I figured it figured it was pointing towards cat and me met
in this particular instance. Well yeah probably Can you stop
on shopping spree? Yeah, I guess I just want to
mention that all of them, they bought all of them when
Warehouse to go visit and then you guys get money.
At the tree. Yeah.
I did want to mention that cat is also keeping an eye out for
any kind of stone or metal that seems to have like white
pearlescent veins in it. Okay.
And that's questing for right? I was going to say to at this
point in time mimei. If you could roll me a
perception perception. Yeah you ask so much of us diem.
Just kidding. I can I can I can get you a
perception. Well, I can get you a good
perception. That's good because you feel a
rolling of the plate and your back.
Fact after it's just been put in there not long ago back.
Backpack backpack. Okay.
So if I'm feeling it, move around, I'm going to take my
backpack off and pull. As quickly as I can. and, You
don't notice anything out of the ordinary with the plate in
particular that it's not glowing and it's not vibrating or
anything like that. It just seemed to have a little
bit more life to it and it was rolling a little bit more on its
own and don't George, do you actually know how to because
you're on a dune? A is where I was going to go
where I was going with this. Let's see.
Yeah, you know, I've seen the plate that we could scare all
the pillows on a doona. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw
someone spin it. I think that's how it works.
Yes. I was just going over there
right quick right now cuz Let's try to remember.
Yeah, you're in your, you were in your room.
Last, let me get this over here. I'm I brought it over here and I
can bring your camera there now, Can you see?
No. And I like blinded or something
as I'm checking now, Oh, I got to go to this layer.
How about now? Nope.
Did you use how about now? Yep.
There we go.
Okay. so you're in your room, waking up and you just heard
some doors clothes out in the general area and some people's
walk, stumbling around is what kind of woke you. and you see
before you on the table, The plate that has been spun, you
know, to lead to a portal to outside of the doing a, it is
not in a portal. Currently, who standing in front
of me? Fold, are who you met only once
before at Norwalk and Pop-Tart popped Arts house and he'd
brought the reward for helping gargant against the neophytes
and that's where that thousand gold came from the answer.
You one question thousand gold, yeah.
What are my thing, crash? So, give me a minute.
Yeah. Well, was it a breast plate or
just a plate full plate? Full plate, full plate in
Israel, there's no full plate. It probably just plate because
there's half plate. Yeah.
Sorry. Then that would be plate.
It's a single piece of Fine China.
If you do wear One Singular miserable plate on your chest
will be totally Invincible. Well, thank you.
But maybe not under estimate with ceramic and that's what
they basically. Never mind, dumb, dumb jokes.
I spin the plate. Okay.
And as you're having the thought, so, Romeo performance
first, okay? I was this is gonna be oh, I'm
not terrible at performance. I am terrible at performance.
Now, as you were hauling, the plate out of your sack.
Me met and you're holding it like oh, we could put the
pillows in here. It rolls out of your hand again
and falls to the ground unharmed and starts to act as if it was
going to spin and then flops to the ground.
And that's basically what happened on your side to
Frederick. As you tried to spin it on your
finger, but you wrote your like, how did they do this?
And you like trying to be, you know, delicate with it.
You just like, flick it across across the room, man.
I wish I still had my pinky finger.
Give me so much more dexterity. I guess I tried again.
Are you trying anything? There me May.
So I'm going to look up it cat and say like, do you know where
the warehouses for the pillows? Should we just put the pillows
in now? And then come back and move it.
She did tell us where the warehouse was, right.
I don't have my nose with me, so I'm guessing.
She did not. She just said that you could
meet her back there after she's gone to the warehouse basically
and informed them that we're going to empty it.
Yeah, we, you know, you're still standing in front of her stand
as well, so you're probably talking out loud and she would
chime in with, if you would go to the warehouse that would save
me a trip, it is only on the Other side of the blue ring
District. It'd probably take your hat, you
know, a good hour or two walking.
But if you got a carriage to probably get you there and 10 an
hour to of walking, how big is this place?
Oh, pretty pretty big, especially if you're considering
the canal that splits Socrates in half and you have to go, you
know, above the wall and then over the wall and above the
river and so on and so forth. It's not exactly a straight
path. I'm losing my female voice, but
Yeah, let us know where the warehouse is and then once we're
done shopping here, we'll just head straight over to the
warehouse so we can load up our boat, it's things are wild
things. Do you have to do?
Perhaps have a map? I don't know.
We are given a map of Socrates. We just have a map.
You were okay. Yeah, I'm just kind of gesture
to Mimi. Do you have that map?
Yeah, I got a map. And she, she walks over next to
you and points to the right side of your map.
Guys are both facing at the same way now.
And yeah, this side over here, that's a lot more dingy and
dirty. This is an old map that's been
well renovated. Now, it was only inhabited by
those snail creatures. So, we took them all out and
built in some factories on that side of town.
Much more productive use. All right, pointing to the
right, right across the river. Those buildings, there's
buildings over there. Yeah.
And when you're saying buildings, you're pointing to
them and she's going, oh yeah, those were just the snails Huts.
I'm sure you see them all around, even on this side of the
river. The the kind of look more like
slugs when they're not inside the houses, I guess but they do
Brew excellent wine from those giant purple berries.
The purple berries are good shit.
So wait, so they'll sell their one.
Well, I of course, otherwise we would have probably exterminated
them long ago. Wow.
Okay. Is there a particular place?
They sell it pretty much all of them, sell their own vintages.
And the, like, I prefer the the higher rings than the lower
Rings. Where we are now, when the blue
ring and the upper ring of the red ring is got some really fine
vintages. And if you are lucky enough,
Enough to get into the castle. There's only a couple there that
make make their own vintages in the castle and they're
excellent. Only the queen usually partakes
or her party guests. She does like, about parties.
Okay guys, we have a new. We're manure primary goal here.
These Castle. Now, we have to go visit the
queen anyway. Am I?
So I'm looking at the map of Socrates because that's where we
are, right? Yeah, and so, Both of these
rings are blue. There isn't a red one.
I'm assuming she's calling it red.
Not because it actually is red. But because of some other
Reason. Oh yes, yes it has to do with
the roofs of the houses, don't you see?
And she points to the map. With the houses in the blue
District where you guys are standing in the market, the
Margaret is its own place. Cheeks goes on to explain, but
then the houses all in the blue ring are required to have blue
roofs. And the the houses in the red
ring are all required to have Red Roofs and only the queen can
have the purple roofs inside of the palace District.
All this is me. Okay.
Okay, this is good until good to know.
Awesome. Well, thank you madam for being
so informative and helpful to our task.
All, of course, you only have bought me of most of my Wares so
I can only help those that have come to the city as much as I
can. All right.
So do you know how guests usually get invited to the
Queen's parties? Oh well you know if you're an
excellent performer as one particularly good way to get in,
have any other sort of Fine Arts that you can you know provide
her with that she's very fond of that enter or goods and
services. Damn it's more or less weird.
What what I know of otherwise it's fairly.
Well shut off to the General Public Access.
Okay, okay. and if you are so keen on and gaining access, you
might talk to the proprietor of The the will anointed Club on in
the red ring, just blanking on the name off the top of my head,
but it's oh, I remember now The Pink Pig.
Okay. Editor of The Pink Pig.
Tired of The Pink Pig proprietor of the pink.
Big proprietor of the pink big /.
I can't do that many times Gesundheit.
Thank you. All right, so we know where to
go and do we already have an invitation to go see the queen
from another queen. Oh yeah, maybe we do to go do a
quest for this queen and then she'll make our ship a flying
ship ye-yes. We have to go see the queen
anyway but I guess we should pick up the pillows first and
then Yes, store them on a doona. Yes.
So shall we continue walking our way through the market and then
head over to the warehouse? Yes, I like this plan, although
I will tell you, Josh, all I see is a great out image of the DNA
that is is because my I'd moved over to the map for George
there. And on that note to Georgia, you
said, you were picking up that plate.
I'm going to roll another performance.
I'm guessing to try and spin it up.
Yep, I see the 18 this time. Yep.
See That you didn't pick up the plate and we're interested in
the comments from the merchant. You all see, just beside you
where you left the plate on the ground.
First, second, the portal pop-up.
From Adonai. Frederick walks out and which
gives a big stretch in a yawn and cracks his neck sort of
thing. And then rubs his head.
Where the hell am I? That's anyone shocked by this
like a crowd around us the yeah so you will you come out of the
portal Frederick in a busy street.
There were people just bustling all the way around you and when
the when the plate was on the ground, there was somebody
stepping over top of it. And You just see them having
jumped off to the side and holding in between their legs,
just kind of squeaking in and otherwise.
Everybody else is giving the portal wide berth, and just kind
of some of them are looking slightly offended, and some of
them are just like another day in the magical City, Is anyone
shocked by my appearance? Not just the portal itself.
Mmm, no, not particularly, you're seeing in the crowd
that's going around. You besides a lot of different
races. The most of which are actually
Full Of Orcs that are standing at in, or around your height,
most of which are bare chested. Even the women.
Where the hell am I? I imagine I see my group of
traveling companions. Yes.
Directly in front of you, you see me May and cat standing at a
map with a person is Cat still a chicken because I noticed the
name had changed. Yes.
Cat is still a chicken, okay. And the Royals and brother is at
this note to say oh we're going to take all of those pillows and
stock the ship that you have them here and they hurry on
through the portal. You just start taking all of the
pillows from her tent and would you like us to take those
candles for you there? Chicken cat.
Then I shove them all into my bag.
Oh yeah, you did. Like I night she gave me the 25
that she had and I have 25 more to pick up later.
You can get those from the factory to if you if you make
mention of it and she writes it down on a quick, Scroll of a
note and hands it to you right with acree shove it in the
little bag. With with just a as a signature,
her lipstick that she presses off of her lips and there is
like a flash of red as she does. So Magic lipstick.
That actually sounds really cool.
I need magic lipstick. I thanked her and take a note
and put it in my bag. I'll turn to.
Wait, this isn't Warren. It's Frederick.
Yep. Perfect I turned the Frederic
and I explained them like we're shopping.
We're just work Ortiz. Remember?
No. When did we get to this place?
It was right after the rhythmic
veracity, right? Because we had to like come in a
second time, baby. Yeah, you guys had gotten
basically right to the Gates. She ahead helped open the gates
and then as you came back from the rhythmic Rusty, you were
standing outside the gates again.
Without shh. And that's where you got into
that kerfuffle. I'm also trying to draw the
portal on there, but it's not working.
I might have to drop a hand. So what you guys doing?
I'm gonna Look for a vendor of adventuring equipment.
All right, start your wanderings and maybe Romeo perception.
Each because it sounded like that was the case with cat me
may as well. So I'm assessing my goods to see
if there's anything I want to store I'd ever thought about
using a dune is like a stored which place which seems very
obvious. Now we each have our own rooms.
I got a question about that. So the ship in the bottle has a
weight. Does the weight increase as we
add stuff to it and like scale to the ship thighs with certain
amount? But you got to figure the scale
of the ship being scaled down to the bottle being proportional.
Eyeliner is asking, if that would be like a future problem
that we might run into your thinking, that that it's like at
230 our 500th of a scale, you know, from an inch to To to
comparatively sky or cubic even wise.
They were then you're talking like, so minor amounts of weight
that you'd be ever. You have to add like another
ship in there to notice any actual weight.
Now, Yeah, it didn't we like rid of you and I have a bunch of
water too. So technically lighter we made
room. And I was, we haven't punished
to do this water yet, have we? Eat on that note Hamilton might
chime in at this because you were standing on Deck.
When you notice that all of the water had reappeared at some
point. Oh good.
And you're dozing. I thought we got rid of the
water. After we had emptied the bottle
of water and there was just water there again.
I just remember concerned, right?
Cuz we took all of the Dune has water and I didn't want to like,
you know, make a dune and comfortable and I remember
having a conversation with a do name being like, we're going to
replenish your water. I'm so sorry.
Like look what I didn't do and I didn't seem very concerned about
it. And now you look magically
reappeared. Yeah, that's which means we can
flood thing will. Well yeah.
Take some time to regenerate as you're noting.
But possibly, yeah, I like having it as an option.
So I see Frederick your perception there as a 21.
I did only briefly catch what you said you were looking for a
shop that would carry Adventure in gear.
That's why I briefly caught it because I don't know what you
mean by that. Rope block and tackle stuff.
You might need. Okay, so a general store I
guess. Yeah, I would actually even
potentially call it. Like an outdoor store is what we
would call it these days. Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah. Where is the DND?
Compel assassin. You're walking along your
companions were already, kind of facing south so you follow their
Direction, more or less around the portal.
I'm not sure if anyone's picking that up but or filling it with
more stuff. It sounded like potentially I
was going to mention two for your inventories.
What would be good if you were to make?
If you were to like put a backpack or something like that?
That because you can You can sub genre things into individual
backpacks and maybe I don't know if you can.
I think you can't. Yeah, you can edit the name of
the backpack, name override it as a dune, a so that way you'd
still no you know, what's in your inventory quotes, but you
would know that you'd have to go to a donated.
Get certain things for instance. Okay.
Good idea. Yep, anywho.
So you're wandering down there Fredrik and you notice a big
Raped 10th off into the back that is Laden from the Pinnacle
down to the ground with all sorts of varying, just about
anything. You could have wanted in our
imagined, for what your purpose is, were here.
And you don't even see the owner of said, stand.
It seems like no one is standing by it, but I'm just Hello, did
you get kicked? What?
Here we go. I'm saying that in oh my bad.
Sorry I was confused for a second.
Hello was. So you say that you hear a
rustling and jostling from the back, it's of the tent, it
sounds like and then maybe and then you see it like a pile of
rope fall over and out. Tumbles a like, two and a half
foot tall. Lizard person.
That's hello. Hi, are you the owner of this
here, stand. I am today.
Interesting. What exactly does that mean?
Uh well we take tense. The me and my family.
Okay. Would you mind, would you happen
to have a block and tackle in stock along with some rope?
And maybe a grappling hook? I can definitely handle that.
Would do just need basic or would you need some sort that
magical? I think we have some in stock,
you might be interested in. You look like a well-traveled
swords. Mmm.
I'm you do you do strike my interest?
Well it is claimed that these particular grappling hook that I
can think of offhand that I know that it's talk somewhere in this
mess and you kind of gestures behind him is a is definitely an
unbreakable rope with the Well, I can get you a different
grappling hook for it, but it does come generally with a
silver one because I think he's intended for the use of, you
know, dealing with unsavory sorts.
Mmm. I see.
And the block and tackle. I mean, could you elaborate a
little bit more? Maybe I'm not familiar with that
the pulley system, it lets you lift more weight our Puli.
Yes. Yes.
We have quite a few different varieties of those as well.
Magically wise. I could probably offer one that,
you know, the usual sort. You could probably Lee lift,
double your weight, right? Right these you could probably
lift quadruple. Yeah, that's kind of thermite.
I'm kind of trapped at the moment due to my last adventure
so just need to replenish on some of the basics.
You should have that thousand, by the way, to this photo.
Apparently I have a thousand fold.
Yes. Okay, I'm gonna say I know I
added it to my bag, I don't remember where we get thousand
gold from. It would have been from your
rhythmic with her Monster Hunters Guild with the guy in
the tree house and they tried to eat me.
And then I remember that I would look for that that I do.
Remember now that this was the Thousand gold was from photos,
are a Ka Ike when he made that appearance just before you with
Nick veracity at Pop-Tarts and Mohawks.
Oh yeah. House in the tree.
You may have been sleeping in that particular instance, but
they would have distributed your money, okay?
That it is the good campaign after all.
Yeah, we wouldn't just keep your money, don't worry.
Mmm. Okay.
So an unbreakable rope. So you say you're strapped for
cash and then you look in your pocket and you go uh scratch
that unbreakable rope you say. And by the way, the Josh block
and tackle is an actual item in the game, I'm sure it is but I
needed some elaboration for my own sake to.
So I just figured I'd wrap it into the role play and the
normal one left you left four times your weight.
So I'm just letting you know well then this poor uneducated
lizard. You know.
You you figure that he means. Eight times your weight as
opposed to for, okay. Just and and honestly, I prefer
the ones that do 10 times your weight because it's just easier
math. That's a real good sales pitch
right there. How much for the unbreakable
rope with a normal grapple? And a I could probably pot with
that, for me, get a gleam in his eye and he says, 10 gold.
How much for the? 10 times block and tackle.
Oh, it's going to be a little bit more expensive, obviously if
had to run it through a couple enchanters.
So we're talking do like 35 gold You don't make a perception.
Check to see if this guy knows anything about what he's talking
about. At least.
I was very unsure of himself. He would it wouldn't be a
perception, it would be an Insight.
I see. Okay, Good Frederick, go off by
himself or did we all like walk with him?
He just kind of walked slightly down the path from you.
He so he you can still see him out of the corner of your eye,
you know, Vision. While you guys are talking about
storing stuff on the Dune a I'm sure I'm very visible.
Yeah, especially, even in the crowd, you can see him, parting
parting the ways especially and especially after the side here
because the the crowd is mainly Meandering through the path.
You guys are standing Again, so you guys are standing in the
main part of the flow. We're Fredrik standing is off to
the side of the path, a little bit, you know, a couple stands
off to the side there. Okay.
So we're really in the way. With a lot of pillows.
I just imagine I'm doing the that the normal tall guy thing
and just like breaking the path through the crowd of people,
they just get out of your way. That's what you're doing when
you're in the midst of it for sure, but at this particular
juncture, there's only a couple people walking by you, you know,
gazing into each part of the stands and such as they walk by
but not at not. Everybody's going out of their
way to go on to this little juncture of the path and your
Insight tells you that he's Being completely honest with
you, he might be just a little unsure from and you're looking
at the stacks of shit that he has only because he he turns
back and says it might might take me a bit too, you know,
rifle through my, one of my brother's wonderful category is
nightmares. Yes, gives me the hives.
So that was 54 with block and tackle and how much for the rope
in a normal? I can Pat with that 410.
It's rather simple enchantment. Would you take 40 for both?
Persuasion. Yes.
I'm just going to roll to see if he's, what kind of mood he's in.
He goes, well, you're one of my first customers for the day.
So it would really that extra five would really help me out.
But, you know, I could probably go down to 35, 40 43.
But, you know, it's That'd be pushing my limits here.
And I like nice, round numbers as you've noted.
Yep, we can have a deal with 43 and he says deal.
And it sticks out his, clawed fingers, and ahead, and a
handshake gesture. I buried a totally shake his
hand and you feel a tingling go up your arm as a A few kind of
permeates across nieces deal and he goes hurriedly back into the
mess and you hear stuff falling around all through the tent and
just jostling all about. And then you, you see a coil of
rope flying out of the mess towards you and he says, catch
Athletics. Sure.
Hey, you. Stick out both arms, catching
the Rope coil perfectly around the first arm actually and and
it kind of just loops around it up to your elbow.
Imagine, I just took my hand out and just like flies over it.
And then he comes, he comes sauntering out kicking shit to
the side. Like he hands you the regular
grappling hook portion and he says, oh yes, don't forget this.
And then he just kind of like looks back at the mess and
starts climbing back into it and cursing.
And you have jostling about some more.
Before he ate, he grabs one out, and he Hill, you see him holding
it out, in above the pile in, and it's up like towards the top
of the tent, and one of the 10 joists that he's standing now
and he grabbed a piece and he's holding it over his head with,
like, great satisfaction. Like haha, fuck you.
I found a gym and he just comes over.
And hands. You this perfectly metal piece
of its, it almost doesn't look like it moves until you spin one
of the wheels that are the pulley inside.
For the block and tackle very smooth.
Oh, yes. Yes, this is why I was such a
hard deal to part with and as he puts the Block in your hand, you
feel the tingling of the deal being done fade away.
Mmm-mmm-mmm. I figure I already handed over
my gold. Yep.
That's what I was figuring, anyways.
Yeah. Anything else?
I might be interested while I'm here.
Oh, I mean do you know what you're going to be doing?
Like it could possibly help me with suggesting some things to
take with you? Hmm.
Let me think for a second. Okay, ask what?
Okay yeah, that's what I was about to do.
So me make at and Hamilton you storing anything on a donate or
yeah picking the plate up and getting out the middle of the
road. I mean, maybe once the brothers
are downloading on their pillows, we can pick the plate
up and hand it out. Because I don't think the rest
of us have large items that we need to store right now.
And no, I don't have anything to drop. and, All right, so you're
picking the plate. Back up, me May Yes, right?
You grab the edge of it and feel it.
Stop spitting on your finger and gracefully toss it in your sack.
And I know you guys said what you were looking for particular
the cat. I know you want to roll me a
perception. And Meander down the path.
I guess. I don't know if me met or
Hamilton. We're looking for.
Anything else in particular though?
I just wanted some clothes. I just really need you.
also, when I'm looking at the screen, I can just see a duner
That's weird. Yeah, me too.
That's my problem. My apologies, I should have
noticed that sooner I apologize. There we are.
Look at all that color. Yep.
That makes sense to why you were even more.
So confused, Frederick I thought you were I was like, I'm lost.
I don't know where everything is apologize.
Yeah, I can just hop back and forth on the maps, but I have
to, like, drag your guys's vision from one spot to the
other. It's just a little like bookmark
thing on the map. But when I'm jumping from map to
map sometimes, they don't always grab that.
No worries. All right, so I'm looking for
clothes and or shoes, Romy, perception.
And cat as you're walking through something at this, stand
catches, your eye, to what you were looking for, but you're
you're only catch a glimpse of it from afar and you can't see
the table as you near it, like the top of the table.
Which tent, whether it's a meeting, orange, dark orange
with a yellow stripe. Okay.
And I won't let me turn my character.
So I'm just facing the wrong way.
But I'm looking at this vendors tent, okay?
So you back up a little bit, so you can see the top of the table
and you realize that on top of it are a array of what looks
like different spheres of object.
But there are all glassy and one does look similar to the
material that you're what you're talking about with a with kind.
Of the spider web of Grey. I believe you described it as so
silver, white pearlescent veins, white pearlescent veins.
That's why I was I had it backwards tips.
Like see. So, yeah, that's what it looks
like and it's in the front of the table, right in the middle.
Do I see anyone at the store? You do standing right next to
the side of it is a robed figure that is kind of standing over
the orbs. Not facing you what looks like
polishing one of them. So should I try to inspect this
from a distance or just hop up on the table and figure this guy
out? I'm assuming you're asking your
companions and not me. Yeah, I am.
Don't freak the guy out. I mean, do you want to do you
want a shoulder to stand on with how tall I am?
You'll probably be right, right at the level.
Oh yeah, that would add that would actually be really great.
We should try that over. I'm also in a weird place for
like the place for me to turn my character around is hidden
underneath the symbol like a button, so I can't turn around.
So I'm going to come walk over. I am inspecting the stall.
And lean over so you can jump up on my shoulder.
I do that I hop up on their shoulder.
I finally turned to did I do that?
I get you guys. Okay thanks no problem.
Um, but yeah, gonna hop up on their shoulder, and I'm gonna
inspect the table even closer. And as you walk up mimei, closer
to the the tent, then the figure just going to put this person
next to you for reference there, but that's not exactly what they
would look like is standing there polishing, one of the orbs
and notices your Shadow, you know, come up across over there.
They're standing goes, oh I had predicted such a thing.
Would have happened and she turns and goes.
Well, hello. And she's looking directly at
you cat. Not me me.
Oh, oh. I say hello.
And a little bit of astonishment like you did you already know
that I could speak? it was predicted in the old but
because it was even hard for me to believe You see how long that
are all sweaty? I'd you see an old withered face
of presumably human and wrapped in Robes of that's the only
thing that's exposed of her and she's standing.
Only half a head taller than me. May Do I don't recognize her or
do I recognize her? You do not at least right now,
you could try to roll. History. 14.
She strikes a memory in your mind of another really old
Professor from your college, but or School your Wizarding school
but not particular, she just doesn't have the same features
as that person. There's a lot of just the the
amount of wrinkles she has those reminiscent of that old
professor. Because it is prolific.
Mmm more like leather than skin. I asked her.
I'm like, do you know? a professor in the in the
Wizards tower on the island, I can't remember what it's called
and I don't have my notes. Insert blank here.
Well, I've not heard of that Professor.
But wait, wait, and she scratches her.
She pulls up a robed hand and scratches the side of her head.
Actually it does ring a soft Bell though.
He used to bother me in many letters.
I think asking about different things that I've found in my
travels used to be quite write a traveler myself, you see?
I can see you have many fine Wares here.
Where have you located? Some of these things?
My balls. Yes.
A a kid. A mosquito.
Get rid of them before I set out on my probably, my last Voyage.
I've collected them over the years though and brought them
back here to this town that I'd had a nice home.
My husband passed away, not too long ago though, so it's time to
be moving on. It's Had to tell you each
location. As anyone that catches your eye
in particular. The Bose didn't show me that.
I indicate the black sphere with the white silver veins in it.
Yes, find peace. I believe I may have gotten that
one around Byzantium. I think.
And Byzantium is where that tree is.
I don't say this out loud. I am reminiscing in my head.
Can I inspect this Stone? Can I get a closer look at it?
That the ESPYs fail means. So I'm going to hop to the table
and go to that stone and can I tell if it has any kind of aura
or anything? Arcana.
And or less you're just doing like a ritual cast of detect
magic, or something like that, too.
Nope, 15 for Arcana. Check so, your Kind of looking
to either side of it, on top of it, below it with your, with
your long neck, chicken head. Bobbing around looking at it and
chios that please feel free to touch its won't go anywhere fast
and as soon as you lay just like ever so daintily cautious, the
tip of your beak on the orb, it does give off The faintest of
magical or has that you can feel.
But nothing in particular happens.
Okay. I'm gonna ask her how much you
want for it. How much are you willing to part
for this? Well, as you know, I've traveled
long and many places for these and collected them over many
years to me, the besides being bubbles, they are also quite
wonderful in. Divining is one of my main Arts
so I could part with it for Let's do.
You know, I got that back in. Let's see fight, 5:15.
Let's do 5 15, gold. 5:15. As you mean 515, gold.
Oh yes. It's I mean, look at it.
It's a three-foot sphere. But that's right.
Foots here. Highly polished material, its
well-worked and well-crafted Do you know who crafted the stone?
Yes, of course. I did it.
Myself in my shop before I lost my dexterity and she holds up
her withered hands to her hands. Her hands are withered, are they
any kind of discolored? The one does look to be paler
than the other. And not just like it doesn't
have, it hasn't gotten sunlight almost as if it were grade meet
that been left out too long. Okay, so this thing is three
foot tall so it's bigger than me.
Imagining something that sounds of like a baseball 3 foot and
left foot 3 foot in diameter. So yeah, it is three foot tall.
I agree to her price. Wonderful.
I I want to question her more like She said you do scrying,
most most often have your powers or your abilities, grown as of
late. Is of late.
No. But back then it was multiplying
quite quickly. Okay, I'm going to flutter back
over. I'm going to flutter back over
to me. May and asked her to get all
that gold. What was it 513?
15. Dear everything.
I'm going to ask her to get 515 out of my bag. 15 going.
What are you gonna do with this big ball?
I don't know, but I need it. I need it.
I guess / to me met. This is part of something that
I've been looking for for a really long time.
So if I can get it onto the ship and study it, I might be able to
learn more about it. How big is the portal when we
make it this the plate? So it's solid.
Five feet in from top to bottom and it probably is, it's just a
5-foot radius as yeah glad enough for us to walk through.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, I can can get your gold out for you and I can open the
portal but I cannot help you with this fear.
It is literally, as big as I am. There is a few of us here, maybe
some of the larger comrades. Can I help carry it into the
ship? And she Strikes Out sticks out.
One of her clawed hands towards you cat, though, to strike up
the deal and a handshake motion. I put out one of my feet and
Talons to shake her hand and your two claws class together.
And you feel A tingle run up your leg.
And isolate off of red as the deals obstruct and she's just
says deal. And as presumably me maze
rifling through your sect. Pull out that 15 and you're
talking about how to get the stone Crystal back to the ship.
Yeah. I need this Stone guys.
And I need to perform tests on it, which I don't know how to
do. But I believe this is exactly
what I'm looking for. Okay I removed all that money.
There goes and I do nee Chimes and actually over the torque
towards you. Having heard her name a few
times. It is able to seemingly
communicate And says, oh well, don't forget.
She is got her. Alchemical lab in her room.
And I think I could whip something up for you right
quick. Dearie.
Oh yes, that sounds wonderful. I am I think I think the vendor
very kindly and I'm like we will be back in just a moment to
retrieve this and I'm just going to start fluttering like back
towards the group if they're not with us and excitedly being like
guys you have to come pick this up, I can't pick it up, I need
you to pick it up. We got just to save some time.
I'm going to say. I also ask that shopkeeper if he
had a Lantern and some oil for it.
No. Need to save any time.
We're here having fun, right? Yeah.
Lantern. And what's that flask of oil for
the lamp is glue? Sure.
Well, I can give you this one here and you just kind of kick
some rope aside and pulls it up hands and was holding it in one
hand for a single gold for the Lantern.
And And he's holding a, what looks like five or pointing
rather towards the like a 5-gallon jug and another gold
for that whole thing there. The old like this.
Alright then he sticks out. His plot hand to shake again.
And when you exchange the gold to him, he gives you the Lantern
and 5-gallon jug of oil, okay? Or yeah you said oil really like
to shake hands. Oh well I'm assuming cat had you
said that? Near the that many ways.
Yep, just out loud. And and she said well don't you
know, you're in the market of Socrates.
It's one of the founding features of this particular City
and it is withheld to be a magical place.
One that any deal struck upon these Cliffs.
Must be met it it the extensive, the fullest or they or the deal
that had been made will slowly kill you.
You. Oh, that's good to know that
evil cat does not bode. Well, it's just you can't can't
fault me. I've been here dealings for a
while, I'm not sure it's in the only seen a few people that
decided not to do what they said they would in the deal.
Let's just say they looked worse than I did after the day was
over. Okay, bye.
Hello. Hi.
Hello. I lost you.
I don't think so. I think everybody just went
quiet after after the information Veer like, well I
guess we're not fucking anybody over here.
Oh no, I said things. Oh, but then yeah, we did Evil,
cackle did not bode well like that, that concerns me and then
she went on to it, explain about that some more so you did lose
us. Yeah, that's okay.
Frederick is now going to look for a armorsmith e0 Hamilton.
What are you keeping your eye out for other than what you the
Armor that you'd found? Hello.
I must honestly. The hell.
I'm sorry. I just found a piece of cheese
on my shirt. Save it and saving it for later.
I am Particularly, I can think of
offhand, okay? It's like there is something
which is armor because I was else quite squishy quite a lot
of varying things through the market, but you guys are noting
quite a good deal of different fruits and other things that you
have not seen before. And Especially in in and around
the Region's you've traveled, except for maybe Hamilton.
You've seen a bit more than. But there are still some that
you haven't haven't seen that are in these different stalls of
different vendors and such as well as just all sorts of spices
and foods and unidentifiable different things that you would.
Go ahead. It wasn't the previous time.
We were at before, this one and Armory tent because Frederick
just asked about that. That was farther back that we're
Hamilton just came from and I didn't realize I'd record asked
about it, but Frederick, you would see Hamilton walking in
and around, in a nice new set of shiny shiny armor.
Where did you get that my friend?
Nice nice guy. Few tense back.
Next to the giant was that like a Lotus more or less the the
shape of but it is glowing. Softly.
Yes. Back by the glowing flower back
there. Don't stare at this hose.
I have to Google this now. Yeah, I've been trying to think
of it too. What?
I'll see. Okay, I start heading that way.
Oh, I see. That's unfortunate.
We need to come up with a name for him because apparently they
don't have any special name and they're not Klaus pause feet
Hooves or those, they're, they're just they're just feet.
Well, if they have drunk, what about stumps?
That's what I was calling them more or less.
I was thinking earlier like are they just Feet?
Don't elephants. Just have feet.
They're more dangerous. Like big route, like big bike.
Yeah, they're the three drunk. Yeah.
But then they have like they have unmovable toes on it.
That are like that. These big toenail kind of deal.
Was it like three or four of them down there?
Yeah, I think Stones look feet. They have a trunk.
I think they should have Stomps feet.
Apparently they use their feet for hearing 2.
Interesting way to use your feet.
But yeah, so you wander your way back that direction and you're
seeing this red tent, that is Laden with tables of armor and
standing Weaponry around the fence the tent poles, and
everything. Frederick Yes.
And behind the the table, as you see a large L'Occitane
individual resting back up against one of the posts with
his trunk curled, up in front of him, starting to doze.
It seems like his eyelids were fluttering.
Um, excuse me. Good sir.
Oh, hello. You just older pair of armed set
of armor to my friend of mine and I was wondering if you have
anything in my size whoo-hoo. Well, dude, quite a large fellow
in good to see another one of such stature around here.
Well, I don't think I have any on hand but I could have one of
these and he points to the many different varieties on the
tables made up for you by the end of the day or early tomorrow
at the latest. Hmm.
How much for a set of plate. Just a regular old plate, you
have no interest in other things, he says with a coin
little smile, that depends on what you're offering.
Well, which friend was it? That was here before and are you
looking for any sorts of Protections in particular?
The friend here before was named Hamilton.
Oh, that was a fine deal. He got on his I could if you are
looking for something in the stealthy Department as he was,
then I do have a few other pieces that are of mithril make
that I could probably get adjusted to your size.
No, no, I'm I'm much more. Kick the door down type of
fellow myself. Oh, so you want the full meal
deal? I think I could rustle up an
full set of adamantium. I might have to go to the y'all
making a trip to the Smoothie. Anyways, I think I could get to
get you the full set of an adamantium set.
If that's what you're looking for.
And how much would that cost me? Oh when you see him hold up one
of his feet hands sounds so dumb and he starts counting on his
toes. Yeah.
With this trunk and Is you seeing the numbers?
Go up? But then come back down for some
reason then he kind of loses track and he starts over.
And then yawns again. Been a long day.
Well. The metal itself is quite
pricey. I'm sure you can understand, so
I could probably part with the full set of armor with no
magical fixing. These for probably likes 700
gold. Even that's a, what's a real
good deal. I'm telling you, this stuff is
100 gold per pound. Usually, this is that's just in
the raw material. You said what?
No magical fixings is there any magical fixings you offer?
Oh indeed indeed earlier today I had made a good bargain for a
set of armor that maximizes the magical uses I have but you
don't look like a fellow. Do you such a thing?
I could though perhaps throw in a Shoot.
Looking pretty strong. But I bet you couldn't, you
could do with a little boost. of strength, that is I'm I'm
guessing and I can, I can manage something like that or oh, And
he looks at your two Shields that you're carrying and kind of
gets a corked eyebrow. And after hearing your other
explanations goes, well, Would you be interested in any?
Offensive tactic Alma. I kinda just hold out my front
loaded Fist and activate it. Oh, That is O of have wonderful
piece. You've got there.
In his eyes are huge. I don't think I could rip your
rep. You'll rip you a little bit.
Yeah, I don't think I could do that with a my own magical
abilities. I have heard tale of a
individual in the mountains. That can do such a thing.
With armor, but I would have to leave a large variety of the
armor in unenchanted for them. Probably to use the full ability
of its of the metal actually. Could you do anything about say,
heightened my reflexes in my old age, I've kind of lost a step or
two. Ah, that is a fine fine thing.
Indeed to ask for it. I think that I could probably
work something out like that, it would take a little bit of
doing, I'd have to make sure that the Craftsman prepares the
joints in the leathering. I could do it for another 50
gold. I think so a 750, I think so,
where we're at? That sounds like a pretty good
deal. He holds out one of his feet.
Yeah. Stamps eats dump stewards you to
to prefer it like a handshake. I shake his hand and he shakes,
it yours, and the tingling sensation that you're familiar
with travels across your gun and he says do Yeah, I can come
through but I heard it up here. What was it all?
Yeah. This is downstairs meowing.
Oh, okay. Why do upstairs ice was cooking
dinner when we started and I just haven't gone downstairs.
Since I've been done told her to get the fuck out.
The only two people in the same place right now and you're not
even the same room, nope. How social of you?
Exactly. so, He elaborates by saying deal.
I'll have the almost Rooty by latest tomorrow, meet me here.
All right. Do I say anywhere that would so
magical items, perhaps? Any particular magical items
you're looking for? Or are you talking to the
L'Occitane? Bag a holding is what I'm
looking for. Oh, I think that you want to go
to the second intersection. Third or fourth tent, it's a
yellow tent on the, on the left down.
Thank you. Gladly letter, letter, Krillin
know that I sent you his way will do.
And my name is Lillian by the way, Ellen.
I'm gonna say, we need to remember his name and ask if he
has any friends because we bought so much from him already.
Our party. I'm just going to say, I go
where he told me to go because I'm So good with directions.
Well you know what you could do is roll with disadvantaged a
survival, why was it gets lost? Hamilton, were you going to be
distracted by a flint look alike?
Or, is that going to be kept for another time?
Okay, I rolled to 16s, it didn't show up for some reason.
Okay? You might have to go to features
and treats again. That's interesting though to
216. Yeah yeah.
Like I roll it did the thing where it Rose and your game.
Yeah, yeah. No, I see it.
So you you've done that. You did that last game to with
another Advantage? Disadvantage check and there
were both the same number and who you get to the same spot
just about where you were before you're looking around and you
don't even see a yellow tent, but you do see.
One in this direction and one over here. through the, through
the, through a couple tenths on the, on the left one, and down,
the down, the road on the, on your, right for the other one,
and you notice that your there's another intersection Ahead of
you. Kind of like he mentioned and
you're standing there. And you notice another
L'Occitane standing behind a table, with basic leather, goods
of sorts what looks like on the table.
Oh hello. Please come by.
Nice to meet you fine, sir. Greetings greetings, might I
interest you in some extra dimensional luggage.
That'd be quite nice Lilith glow, life little sent me by the
way Lillian. Oh, yes.
Well, I could he sent you this way, you said he's quite a quite
a good lad. He helps me in procuring, some
of my Leathers for my enchanting.
That's quite nice of him. Like Words, um, I'm looking for
a bag of holding any particular shape or you're just looking for
the basics because, you know, these things can hold lot.
But depending upon the user and the style we can really get
something nice out of it. Something to replace this old
backpack here. Would be nice.
Ah, you know what I have for? That is an excellent device,
divisional. Extradimensional bag.
So any pulls out from under the counter is very similar, looking
item to what you have, but a much New more newly, worked
fully leather bag and it's it has a couple extra pockets and
such that are in it as well. And he says, just about every
pocket on, this is another extra dimensional portal into a Small
pocket verse. And how much is that?
Oh, I could let this one go for. needs brings up a foot starts
counting with his drunk. I could let this go for 250
gold. It was a hefty time.
Putting all of these pockets on there and just so you don't have
to go about counting them than yourself.
There's easily a division of 14 pockets of the basics or two.
There are some smaller ones that you could easily fit some
smaller size things in for quick access.
Another kind of those hidden throughout.
That could definitely show you them after the purchases done
but some of them are secretive and I would like a secret for my
work if you understand. And I'm sure the purchaser would
like to keep some secret Holdings of Their Own.
Indeed. But I'm looking at some stuff.
Would you so good gold? Did you say 200?
Sorry. Oh well, if you can convince
lilin to give me my next order of leather on the house than
sure. I'll see about that.
Want you to make deals form? That's sketchy.
Don't get things for free. Hamilton cat and me met
proceeding with getting this the stone onto a doing a then.
Now, thinking about that, I was like how we getting this Stone
up there. Cuz it's three feet diameter.
So, how much does this weigh math hard?
Let's Google it. Okay.
Yeah, there's going to be different densities obviously.
Yeah, that sounds about, right? It's like 165 pounds, okay?
I'm guessing I'm walking past. This is happening.
Yeah, I'm watching a struggle. I do want to make note that
while it is in its stone form, it is safe to like touch
barehanded, but if we are going to like sand it down or wet it,
that's when it would start to cause problems.
I wouldn't mind moving that for y'all.
If you wouldn't mind letting me 25 gold, I'm sure I would get it
back to you Tuesday. I'd be willing to give you 25
gold if you will pick this up. I am desperate for this rock.
And sounded dirty. Please no rules.
God dammit lowest row, you have to make it secure strengthen.
Its the size thing that you've ever other than it looks like
Athletics, but excuse me. You still, I was going to say
how much do you weigh, aren't you?
Like, two times, the, the weight of the stone itself or 10, I
think, okay. So you're like no 350, yeah,
sorry. So yeah, you're like two times
the weight of the stone. So, you go to grab it with one
hand and you're like, oh well, that's not going to work.
So you brace yourself with both of your legs and, you know,
straighten your back, you know, you've been taught.
It looks like to know what you're doing and you lift
grunting her It off the ground answer than it looks.
Where am I putting this? So the portals open, I guess I'm
going to run through and I'm going to ask a donate where we
should put this folder. The portal is not open as far as
I know. Well, we're going to put this on
and do day, and I asked me if they can open the portal please.
Yeah, what's the roll? Or means.
It was almost an 18. It's spinning on your finger and
it starts to take before. Stopping the spin and you just
barely catch it. Before it stopped spinning.
Let me try that again. We're so good at making good at
and be like that. and this time you because you're laughing, you
spin it, expertly on the tip of your finger and it's taking off
before you let go and the portal Springs to life wherever your
Having it? I don't know.
I don't know where that is exactly.
Are we doing this right in the world?
Walkway, just to be more of an annoyance to the crowd.
Or did we go off to the side in between vendors?
I mean how crowded is it on the street right now?
I've didn't populate it visibly this because that was a would be
a lot of work, but it is fairly crowded.
You're looking at a Newton Day rush as it were it's getting on
towards my be one-on-one or you know just a little bit afternoon
because you see most people that are walking in the crowd to with
sandwiches and or other carried food items that are that you're
smelling that must be coming from the Most southern portion
of the market. You haven't seen yet.
Well, I'm not going to try to go far away from where the sphere
is right now. So, I'm be right in front of
this. This shops, you know the front
of the stand or like as close to the Spheres I possibly can be
because we're going to try to open this. all right, I will
Assume you mean like right there basically?
Yeah. Okay, and then the shot in the
shop. Keep is going.
Well, that's enough. That's enough.
That old lady Voice come on that's of brno. but right now,
France, ticket. You got there?
You could always do like the Wrath be smoking, boys.
We're from the age of retail fancy.
Get you could hear my finger guns, You do.
And presumably. Yeah, I'm going to get out of
the way. So whoever's carrying the yeah
thing can get through Frederick. You hurry on through, you know,
lugging this thing to the other side, you just for Simplicity
sake, or just want to tell me where you said it on the other
side because you, you were just over there.
You kind of can remember where stuff is or less.
I said it. Work at tells me to set it,
okay? Let's take it too.
I just blanked on her name. Gia.
Yeah, she is a Chemistry station or what did it, do not call it.
But the little magical experimentation facies that
whatever has thing that she's talking about, I'll take it
there. All right, and I'm just running
ahead of him right now. How comes and station Simplicity
sake. That's where it went.
Okay. I'm guessing I get the 25 gold
after that happens. Yeah.
After you set it down, I'll pull the gold out of my little side
bag and I I handed to one piece at a time because that's all I
can do. It worked.
Oh, it's Giant. Why?
Thank you, you're welcome. Can you lose it?
Use Lube next time, I'll spit on it for, you know, works.
I walked back to the, To the other the shopkeepers are set,
okay? Did you get to?
Did you get a little Insurrection act like the
portal? Thank you.
No, I didn't. But I did some thinking and I
think 250 is it fair price for that bag?
Oh II with that? Sounds like a deal to me and he
sticks out a foot. Panned stump.
To shake. I shake it and you feel the ever
so more familiar. Eing, tingle along your arm and
he hands over the bag as you hand over the gold.
And once again I am poor and just like that.
He has soft nipples again. This careful.
Oh yeah. Assume that I closed the portal
and put the plate back in my bag.
Yep. And then I'm looking for clothes
still. And as you're doing so you're
seeing a gentleman set up, actually, and I didn't have the
time to do this, but I'm just thinking along the lines
swinging in a hammock. Right around here next to a red
and red. Striped.
Tent with a lot of, a lot of what fine clothing.
It looks like hung up and some basic folded on some tables.
Underneath the hanging clothing So I'm going on a hammocks.
My kind of guy. And as you walk near, you see
that he is dressed to the nines and has a small.
What looks like frog on his shoulder as he's reading a book
in the hammock. Even better.
But I'm just going to start looking at the Weyers. okay, in
the 10th, you do spot quite quite a lot of nice things
hanging. Like I'd said the the style here
though is, you can tell a bit different than where you're used
to. The cuts are a lot lighter and
they the dial is seems to be of some sort for the Mets situated
in the tent to on one side of mail or masculine and the other
side of females with the females, I'm more towards they
skirts and dress attire as well as the other side, being more
situated towards suit like stuff.
And then the basics being some sort of workmen clothes of an or
akin to their higher class, Styles, that makes any sense.
I'm going to walk closer to him in the hammock and be like, you
got any tunics? Yeah.
Puts the book down in his lap and he's like fluttering his
eyes and kind of looks up squinting.
Mmm-hmm oh time is it he looks up at the sun.
Do you see tunics? Yeah, probably.
Child sizes. Rules.
He kind of leaned over the Hammock Edge as he sitting the
book down in his lap and he goes, oh, I thought maybe you
were sitting, I can probably get you something like that.
Just a simple tunic. You say any particular color?
We've got, we've got the means for all here like a forest,
green would be nice. What is green tunic?
I can get you a something like that for five copper.
Okay, okay. Maybe maybe I'll do two of those
then maybe one in green and one in Brown.
Okay, you got a special occasion.
I can dress you to the nines if you like Welcome to the 13 if
you're really feeling it because, you know, 13 God's
know. Well you know we might be paying
the queen of visit later it might be nice too.
Look, nice. The creamy say, then you best be
looking your best pun intended, you've got to, you've got a
dress to impress there. Look what's no?
No simple place. Yeah.
So what do you have for the the court?
What kind of what am I looking at?
Like a three-piece? It's higher here.
Do you have? Do you have anything in my size?
Whip something up pretty quick for you, and he said to the book
down in the hammock swings, his legs, over the Frog, still
holding onto the side of his shoulder seemingly of there with
little perturbed meant at his movements and he stands up.
He's fashionably dressed with a top hat.
You see that he left off to the side of the puts on his head
with a A peacock feather, thats hanging off to the side and a
golden brooch in the center. And he, as he sets the book
down, takes both of his hands out and you see that he kind of
flips him off to the side. And he transmits, there's a
flash of light in both of his hands turned into a sort of
tailoring devices. One being a set of rulers and
the others of Scissors and some other sewing shears, it looks
like and then he flicks his hands again and you're not sure
if that was just the catch of the lighter, what?
And he holds onto the sides of his vest that he's wearing and
says, but yeah, I could get you something in your size and less
than an hour. All right.
Well, then I will take, I would appreciate that, nothing nothing
too crazy. No I don't I don't want to draw
too much attention. And you know, I'm not, I'm not a
very fancy kind of person but you know, it would look be good
to look nice. So a full I don't miss a fancy,
I don't know, but it's a special occasion.
I'll say a full set of court attire and then two tunics and a
pair of pants. Okay.
And the pants you don't have any particular coloration on those
Or would you like to match the general Workman Brown?
Yeah, just brown. Brown is good.
Okay, okay. And the the court attire could
you give me another adjective to work with?
As he sits takes one of his hands off his vest and start
stroking his chin. I'm going to need, maybe not a
color and maybe what are you would think of an emotion that
strikes? You Personality, he says,
gesturing with his hand flat. Hmm.
When I say jovial, but I feel like that's going to get me to
feel, that's going to be a little too much.
I just, I really can I just shoot him some finger guns?
You can, I mean, this is D and E.
You can do whatever you want. I'm just gonna shoot him,
something, or guess? It's kind of a corked, eyebrow
goes. Hmm.
Nothing too fancy. Think I can run with that and he
just kind of gets a very questioning and forsaken.
Look on his face as he stares up into the clouds and then he
pulls out from a from a pocket on the hammock.
It looks like another book that he Sketchbook size and he pulls
a pencil out of and start sketching.
Some stuff might take a bit more than an owl though if you've got
the time, Yeah, we're not doing anything till tomorrow, right?
I recall that being something that the party and the whole,
oh, I could definitely have something ready for tomorrow.
If you'd, if, if in do when the to that is that you would like
to pick it up. So, for the pair of pants, two
tunics equals has the Sketchbook with the pencil on it very
quickly, and holds out his hand to shake, and this find a tire.
Do you need to see any sketches before hand, or do I have free
reign? you have free rein just just
recall that, you know, I don't buy clothes very often, so
nothing to, you know, to fashionable more, conservative,
classic style and Yeah, just loose, nothing too tight.
I need to be able to move. grin grin on his face and strikes out
his hand or is still holding out his hand to you and listening
and says Is in his shaking, his head rather while you're
continuing. Yeah, I think we should for
that. You were finished and do you
have a quote on how much this might cost?
Ah, yes. I think I could do such a thing
for us. Simple, Gold piece.
He says, holding his hand out all of all of that included.
One gold piece. Yes, certainly.
It's within by. Abilities ready?
And he you go to shake his hand. Yes.
And you feel A tingle as he says a deal so well struck I will
have it ready for you tomorrow and then he goes under one of
the tables into what looks like a crate of sorts and pulls out
the two tunics and then over to another one, and pulls out.
A pair of pants that are Very apparently child-sized or close
to yours eyes and hands them to you.
Awesome. I wonder if they have a bath in
this town. Do you say that aloud?
Yeah. Oh, of course, we have such
things, but you need to go to the right places in this ring.
You're not going to find anything suitable for somebody
that's going toward the palace. You're going to want to go to
the red ring. Okay, we have to head that way.
Anyway, good to know, thank you for the information.
Good sir. Any tips?
His hat delighted. And he looks around and then
takes his Sketchbook and lays back in his hammock, and you can
hear him scribbling away. What a life.
So I'm going to run back over to the party, or her of the party.
I can see, I'm going to say, we need to find a bath, a bath
house. When we go to the storage place
in the factories, and the red ring,
Let's do that. Let's do that right now.
I think we've got all the shopping and we can for the day.
Right. Yeah, I mean I'm not buying
anything else but the question is how to get there we go.
Back the way we came. You can buy anything else.
Standing still looks like visibly.
Anyways to me close to that and where you got the sphere from
other than these other than Frederick and the old crow in
there says well you just get here.
We're talking about the factory district.
That were the bathhouses then. Yes.
Oh no. The fact that bad houses are
going to be in the rendering that you're gonna want I guess.
Anyways, especially if you're gonna find us feel like that,
but I thought you'd said factories, but at least that's
what my predictions and said, do you would want to go there
before going to go visit a warehouse, which I guess is in
the factory district? Before going into the red ring,
Would be well, suited of you. Anyways, you know, the the
factory district is what quite filthy.
Yeah, then let's do that first. Yeah. well, if you go to the
edge of the bridge where you'd gotten up to the Market District
here, then you can easily capture What are the gods
attentions and they'll hold you accountable judge.
But Do you know that in the factory district?
There are isn't much food and she looks up at the sky.
And the market district is, is closed by Sundown should be.
So, by the way, you get back, unless you take a couch, both
ways. Shall we grab some food and head
over to the factory district? Yeah, we should stuff our faces.
How much does that backpack of holding Gary?
Or is it just the same as a bat bag, molding?
What do you mean, how much does it carry?
All the weight capacity on a bag of holding those 500 pounds?
That's one bag of holding. You have 14 plus secret
compartments which as they were doing that he's explaining to
you. He pulled you in close after the
deal was struck and he would hand it out the gold and he's
like okay well each of these individual secret Pockets that I
you can easily hide any and all of your gold or valuables.
If you will in this one here and he flips the backpack around to
the The side where it would be pressed up against your back and
he pushes right in the middle of that area and outcomes kind of a
little key slot and then he grabs from one of the lapels of
the of the backpack itself that looks like just a ring.
He pulls that ring out and it's got a key on it.
And he turns it and opens a void in their about, Out.
Six inches in diameter. This one is my particular
favorite. It has the largest opening in
his quite secretive, as you can see, and the other other three,
and then he closes the key back into the slot and puts it back
into the lapels lot and then pulls the backpack, around
again, and in front are quite hidden in plain sight.
So I'd suggest them more. So for the The utmost of hidden
things and he see this pocket here and he unzips the the
smallest of the compartments in the front and sticks his hand
in. Now if you go down about here
and you see his foot, go into the into that pocket up to where
your wrist would be and then just take your finger spin it
clockwise. Is once and from the front of
it, folds out these three little compartments that are about an
inch in diameter. And that's where I usually try
to hide my coins and then he turns his finger clockwise
inside of that same pack pouch and they all three clothes and
he's hands it to you. So and do your question to how
much It can capacity wise and each of the 14 compile main
compartments, can hold 500. That's usually enough for most
people to know that much. So I don't feel like doing the
math. You could do that yourself.
Okay, thank you. That's an interesting trick.
You, you got there to open up the compartment.
Yeah, yeah. It took me quite a while to come
up with that that last one It was nice doing business with
you. Likewise young lad, and the
trunk comes up and salutes towards you.
Any time you're in the market for something of the sorts.
Remember, the name Krillin? I will.
And I head back to the group and I'm slowly, just put everything
in the new backpack. Of holding backpack of holding.
That's what it is. I know.
All of the stuff I come up with off the fly.
So it's yeah, I just hadn't thought of it until you said it.
Is there a quick way to move stuff?
I don't I don't know. That would be a good question
for the party at holes. I am unaware of what quick way
to move, things like that. I found a semi quick way.
It's fine. End of the old Crone says, to
you guys, I guess what, if you're in the market for food,
then you're probably just going to want to head directly south
to the giant crane. You can see over the top of the
tents a crane that slowly lumbering and pulling large
crates up from below, it looks like this the southernmost
points of the cliffs up to their the market districts height
Right. Alright, let's head towards
that. Music.
Amazing. Thank you.
I'll be here all week. So we all start heading towards
the food area. I'm guessing we can just walk to
it from where we are. Yep.
And you, as you do, you're getting closer to you here.
Not only the sounds of a large crowd.
But you also that of the whooshing of waves against Cliff
faces and the Pickering of a of a fountain that's softer and
barely audible compared to all the other noises that you're
hearing and especially the smells that are assaulting your
senses with just a plethora of different. everything from
grilled Meats to some sort of smoking.
You're not sure or vegetables or nuts and all, all variety of
pleasant smells and or unpleasant smells as the case
may be. For some of you that are just
permeating the air in that direction.
Is there anyone with any kind of cookies or sweet?
Oatcakes, you nearing the general clatter of people are
seeing some stands with such that are in the area that you
are. They do not do.
Look baked at this day but not within the hour.
That doesn't bother me. I worms.
I'm fine with a day old cookies. The for cat actually.
So cats, a wizard that transformed into a chicken
would, would you have the chickens appetite?
Or would you have like a human's appetite?
Okay, so in my mind I imagined having a chicken's appetite.
So whenever we would stop at to take a break how everyone would
like it out their rations or whatever meals they had like
store away in their backpacks. I'm just pecking around on the
ground eating bugs. And I think I might have said
that a couple of times when we took breaks but I might not
have. But that is how I imagined
myself. I was just curious because I'm
like, well, you're human, but you're transforming into a
chicken. So wouldn't you be like, man?
I could really go for a steak right now.
I mean, I was just imagining the chicken fucking, like, going out
of six piece. With some barbecue sauce on the
side. Yeah, everyone like I can't
remember what movie it was but a movie.
I was watching with my mom. This lady adopted a chicken for
some reason and when she went to go visit her parents for a
holiday, they had the chicken like because it was her pet now
in a kids play pen and it just the the like main characters mom
fed, the chicken turkey, and it ate it, Well. so, I mean, I
guess if they're hungry enough, Yeah.
I mean yeah I decode that it Junior mint.
So go to eat fucking anything. I do.
It was weird like pepperoni to I had a cat that like pepperoni.
My sister. You have a dog that like
Twizzlers and she would scream at me.
Every time I gave her a Twizzler.
That's tweezers, aren't even appetizing to me, and I like
just about everything. But yeah, as you rounded that
corner, there is probably a stand there that lady in an
apron was with flour. All over her peddlin cookies.
Did it me may leave us. Looks like it looks like that
I'm still on my shoulder. And I'm kind of like, hey, let's
go check out the cookies. Because I don't want to keep
freaking people out. Just being a talking chicken and
I just asked her to buy me like a dozen cookies and I'll eat one
now, but I'll put the rest of my back or in my bag of holding.
Is anyone selling like the Bob's?
Bob know, not where you're at Frederick or along these stands,
it seems like but you do smell like add some cooking meats and
such and it does does seem to be coming from the more southerly
direction from where you're at. And ladies is all weird.
So the you said that to me may I see what you're saying.
Now, mimei would have walked over and then asked the lady and
the lady would have said well yeah I could part with that many
cookies for he just 66 copper That's right.
That's what it is, right? I don't have any coffee.
It's just take out a gold out of your bag and hand it to me.
Me and ask for change. I guess we hand over one goal.
Should we get more cookies? Oh yeah, tell her to ask her.
How many cookies, one goal would get us important gold.
You can buy Well, and she just kind of looks off into the
distance. You Can Tell She's Counting.
Archie's baker's dozen. You'd ask for, how many, cookies
originally had originally asked for a dozen but doesn't.
Okay? So and she'd said, six Yeah, I
guess like well you could get like 200 cookies for that.
I think I could you could probably have what I have here.
How many cookies does she have on her cart?
I've got at least I made it. Let's see here.
Let's do the stroll. Oh, how many little okay?
I didn't know how many times you're good.
You're good, you're good. 02:42 is that's weird.
All I've got about 300, I can give you two For this.
Yeah she just looking very astonished.
I know. But I have small though.
Yeah, I'm going to say that's just a lot of cookies to have.
I can hold them. Do you want 200 cookies?
You just like put together your to Shields upside down Frederick
like two trays. The whole.
Why is going to put it in my new backpack?
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
I'll take 24 of the cookies and the rest can go and Frederick
backpack. What is it?
Can I have one? Cookie.
Yes. Oh we're getting 200.
Cookies, hold on. What did I just say 24?
So you get to have the rest. Do you get 176, cookies?
All right, I'll eat one right now.
All right. Everybody gets a cookie.
Are you saying that literally, because I will hand out cookies
right now, we just need to know how many I'm putting in my
backpack. I'm saying that like over the
torque to our party like everyone can have a cookie.
You get a cookie and you get a cookie.
Also, I'm looking in the inventory right now and you can
search containers to add containers and there isn't a
boat, but there is a cart in a carriage.
Had to your inventory. Yeah, I'm going to manage
inventory. cuz I off there's more but I was looking for a way
to add because now I have inventory on a dune a that I
need to keep track of Oh hey, there's a long ship and a kill
boat too. And a sailing ship.
Huh. all right, I'm going to add that as a container and put a
giant sphere that is interesting.
I'm trying to decide what kind of type of cookies.
These are I figured sweet. O cakes would just be good.
But I mean like that's probably not all she made, she probably
made a bunch of cookies. Yeah, that's where my brain was
kind of breaking for a second. It was like booop you overloaded
the game. 300 cookies, what do I do?
it's like when you on Skyrim load just like, collect all the
things in your in your own house and try to load into it, I was
