17:49.737 --> 17:55.844 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think we've got a couple of days at best before everything here gets very, very messy. 17:57.666 --> 17:58.127 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: At best. 18:03.033 --> 18:14.947 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm personally of a mind of grab supplies, check in with the totally not Clover Twist people and grab our people and start moving north, I think. 18:15.167 --> 18:15.728 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Get out of town. 18:17.513 --> 18:20.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But I'm open to party discussions and suggestions. 18:25.224 --> 18:33.595 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, we should probably head out of town before news of what happened has spread and people put two and two together that we jumped off a more breakership. 18:36.799 --> 18:38.181 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sounds good. 18:38.201 --> 18:43.048 [Lacer (Kai)]: I reckon we do that, but also I want to get a change of flow so we're less recognizable. 18:45.053 --> 19:10.065 [Riv (DM)]: As well as hit up the um what is it the cubs what is it yeah the the veiled cubs all right fantastic so um at this point it's kind of late afternoon ish um sun is starting to set and it's probably an hour or so before it starts getting dark um 19:11.648 --> 19:18.235 [Riv (DM)]: Are you guys, do you have the intention to leave the city tonight or do you think you'll spend a night, is there any sort of shopping you want to do? 19:18.855 --> 19:19.876 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah I need a bit of shopping. 19:20.016 --> 19:24.221 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't think, if it's this close to dark I don't think we'll get out of town tonight. 19:26.923 --> 19:27.965 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know what's a good idea? 19:28.445 --> 19:39.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: How about we head up the Cubs, the Vowed Cubs right now and spend the night with them to discuss what they want and then first thing in the morning we can shop and like we can go shop and then run. 19:41.855 --> 19:43.777 [JC (Ryo)]: We're cashed up a little bit as well. 19:43.797 --> 19:45.860 [JC (Ryo)]: Didn't we get some cash toward the end of our session? 19:45.880 --> 19:46.741 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, sure I am. 19:52.928 --> 19:58.534 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, by the way. 19:58.554 --> 20:04.161 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: From memory, it takes a bit of time to get around the city, so I don't think we're going to be able to make any shopping tonight. 20:05.082 --> 20:10.208 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So yeah, maybe we seek out some local street kids and 20:10.576 --> 20:16.324 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Get a message out that we need to meet up if we want to do this and seek lodging. 20:19.608 --> 20:28.259 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, the veiled cubs have like a hidden hideout so we probably can get away with free lodging for the night since we're doing them a favour. 20:29.201 --> 20:33.066 [Lacer (Kai)]: I doubt they have beer. 20:35.569 --> 20:38.473 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it because they're underaged? 20:39.162 --> 20:40.544 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You don't hear that. 20:40.564 --> 20:48.953 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And just rocking up to someone's secret hideout with no warning and knocking on the door and saying, hey, we're crashing here is probably a little bit of an imposition. 20:49.634 --> 20:51.275 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Pretty sure they know we're back already. 20:52.417 --> 20:55.040 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Of all the groups to notice us, they're probably the one. 21:04.150 --> 21:08.815 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So the question is, do we want to sleep in a makeshift child orphanage? 21:09.655 --> 21:10.677 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Or a proper inn. 21:11.538 --> 21:12.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, wait, wait, wait. 21:12.961 --> 21:13.943 [Lacer (Kai)]: They have heaps of money. 21:13.963 --> 21:18.712 [Lacer (Kai)]: They've been, like, stealing money from, like, who knows what, like, all the time. 21:18.732 --> 21:24.503 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think they're heavily cashed up, you know, so they should have beds and stuff. 21:24.523 --> 21:25.945 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did they spend it, though? 21:25.965 --> 21:27.929 [Lacer (Kai)]: Remember when we first went there? 21:27.969 --> 21:32.778 [Lacer (Kai)]: It was, like, full luxurious and stuff on the inside. 21:32.798 --> 21:32.878 [Unmatched Speaker]: Hmm. 21:34.394 --> 21:35.876 [Unmatched Speaker]: Well, alright then. 21:35.896 --> 21:36.677 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's true. 21:36.717 --> 21:41.885 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so the building itself was like made in a really run-down part of the town where basically no one lived. 21:41.945 --> 21:46.032 [Riv (DM)]: The outside was basically falling to pieces, but on the inside it was, yeah, super luxurious. 21:46.052 --> 21:47.814 [Riv (DM)]: Like, they'd spend a lot of time to make it nice. 21:49.316 --> 21:56.748 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean, I guess there's, on the other hand, it might be odd to live, to spend a night in a building full of young children, but... 21:57.869 --> 22:03.658 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm personally for a tavern, because we're about to head out into the wild again. 22:04.128 --> 22:12.039 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I want a drink, a warm bed, and it never hurts to listen to a bit of gossip, especially seeing as though we have stirred up the biggest hornet's nest possible. 22:14.283 --> 22:15.825 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I prefer a tavern as well. 22:18.268 --> 22:22.955 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm sure we can quite easily find a street kid before they all go home to the night. 22:24.477 --> 22:26.019 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Going home as a street kid is probably... 22:26.881 --> 22:27.882 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They can't have a home yet. 22:29.464 --> 22:30.085 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You know what I mean. 22:31.227 --> 22:31.788 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 22:31.808 --> 22:32.008 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 22:34.148 --> 22:35.270 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 22:35.330 --> 22:39.255 [Riv (DM)]: So, do we want to go to the same old tavern we've been going to, or look for a different one? 22:41.899 --> 22:45.704 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, there was kind of that break-in at the last one, so maybe not that one. 22:48.107 --> 22:49.850 [Lacer (Kai)]: Got some PTSD, have we? 22:52.874 --> 22:54.156 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, we got attacked at that, didn't we? 22:55.177 --> 22:58.862 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Should probably try somewhere different. 22:58.882 --> 22:58.983 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Cool. 22:59.003 --> 23:01.506 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm sure the innkeeper's probably not super happy with us. 23:04.726 --> 23:13.779 [Lacer (Kai)]: But then again, she's good friends with the gold... people. 23:13.799 --> 23:14.180 [Lacer (Kai)]: Breaking up. 23:16.744 --> 23:17.485 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The gold people. 23:18.887 --> 23:19.408 [Lacer (Kai)]: Gold funds? 23:20.569 --> 23:22.132 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, yeah, the fine golds. 23:22.252 --> 23:22.933 [Lacer (Kai)]: The fine golds. 23:23.113 --> 23:24.776 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're good friends with the fine golds. 23:29.202 --> 23:32.267 [Lacer (Kai)]: But yeah, if it's just one knight, it shouldn't be too bad. 23:32.287 --> 23:33.248 [Lacer (Kai)]: But we can always find another. 23:34.493 --> 23:46.026 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I'd be fine with going back to the tavern we were at before because it's been about two weeks and maybe they've got news of where the Feingolds are up to. 23:46.086 --> 23:48.449 [JC (Ryo)]: Maybe they've sent a letter or they've come back. 23:48.489 --> 23:58.460 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dwarf has completely forgotten who the Feingolds are. 24:00.202 --> 24:04.467 [Lacer (Kai)]: You remember Dondar, the caravan people that we helped? 24:04.953 --> 24:05.514 [Lacer (Kai)]: Originally? 24:06.255 --> 24:07.437 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Was that what they're called? 24:08.640 --> 24:09.802 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yes, I remember them. 24:11.444 --> 24:12.606 [Lacer (Kai)]: Totally forgotten. 24:13.548 --> 24:14.870 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And the curvaceous woman. 24:15.472 --> 24:15.692 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yes. 24:17.655 --> 24:18.156 [Riv (DM)]: Could say that. 24:21.342 --> 24:22.163 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, great. 24:22.644 --> 24:23.586 [Riv (DM)]: So what was the consensus? 24:23.606 --> 24:25.389 [Riv (DM)]: Are we going back to the line or do we want to look for another one? 24:26.832 --> 24:27.653 [Riv (DM)]: We'll go to the line. 24:28.662 --> 24:29.163 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 24:29.183 --> 24:29.584 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet as. 24:29.924 --> 24:31.727 [Riv (DM)]: And along the way you wanted to see if you can spot a kid. 24:32.729 --> 24:32.909 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 24:33.450 --> 24:33.711 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 24:33.951 --> 24:35.374 [Riv (DM)]: Someone want to make a perception check? 24:37.778 --> 24:37.938 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep. 24:41.444 --> 24:42.466 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Where is it on the list? 24:42.486 --> 24:43.127 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: There it is. 24:46.516 --> 24:47.417 [Riv (DM)]: Oh! 24:47.477 --> 24:49.440 [Riv (DM)]: There we go. 24:49.540 --> 24:50.361 [Lacer (Kai)]: Freaking elf eyes here. 24:50.381 --> 24:50.781 [Riv (DM)]: Starting off well. 24:50.801 --> 24:51.282 [Riv (DM)]: Let's go. 24:52.964 --> 24:53.705 [Riv (DM)]: Super easy. 24:53.985 --> 24:55.247 [Riv (DM)]: You know exactly where they are. 24:55.427 --> 24:56.448 [Riv (DM)]: Up along the main road. 24:56.749 --> 24:58.611 [Riv (DM)]: You have to head up the main road to get to the line anyway. 24:59.011 --> 25:02.656 [Riv (DM)]: You sort of go halfway up through the town itself and hang a right. 25:03.257 --> 25:10.205 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so along the way you can spot a number of kids who look like, you know, they're still hustling and doing what they do. 25:10.245 --> 25:15.932 [Riv (DM)]: But, you know, fewer than normal, so maybe some of them have already started to head off. 25:15.912 --> 25:25.364 [Riv (DM)]: Boy, with a 25, I will tell you, as you start to head your way off from the docks, you do notice a few glances in your direction. 25:26.206 --> 25:33.135 [Riv (DM)]: There's a pair of two people just sort of hanging outside a building on the dock that you just clock. 25:33.615 --> 25:39.823 [Riv (DM)]: They look at you with some sort of recognition and then sort of turn and start heading off further down the docks. 25:41.926 --> 25:44.890 [Riv (DM)]: But with that, you can find yourself a pair of kids. 25:49.240 --> 25:50.903 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did we do something wrong in this town? 25:51.845 --> 25:54.010 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did we set fire to something or something? 25:56.074 --> 25:57.016 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Attack some guards. 25:58.318 --> 26:06.275 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There are a great many people looking for us and have been for several towns and probably like a few weeks, I would guess. 26:08.479 --> 26:09.882 [Riv (DM)]: We are wanted people, remember. 26:13.372 --> 26:22.541 [Riv (DM)]: To be clear, they didn't look like official, you know, they didn't look like city guards or anything like that, just regular sort of leathers and brown cloaks. 26:24.226 --> 26:25.069 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Regular noobs. 26:26.197 --> 26:27.839 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 26:27.859 --> 26:36.469 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, um, unless there's anything you want to look at there, um, yeah, you can spot there's a short little kid with blonde hair, um, sort of covering one of his eyes, hanging down. 26:36.509 --> 26:39.051 [Riv (DM)]: Another one, female, with long brown hair. 26:39.432 --> 26:43.737 [Riv (DM)]: Um, they're just sort of sitting off to the side with bowls out in front of them, just, you know, as people want to pass. 26:43.757 --> 26:44.237 [Riv (DM)]: Please, sir. 26:45.178 --> 26:45.879 [Riv (DM)]: You got any money? 26:48.382 --> 26:51.606 [Riv (DM)]: I'll drop a silver into the bowl. 26:53.367 --> 26:53.828 [Riv (DM)]: Looks up at you. 26:54.028 --> 26:54.729 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, thank you, sir. 26:54.789 --> 26:55.630 [Riv (DM)]: Very generous. 26:56.437 --> 26:57.678 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 26:59.140 --> 27:02.985 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Let the Cubs know that we're back in town and the job might be on. 27:05.468 --> 27:06.589 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah. 27:06.609 --> 27:14.358 [Riv (DM)]: No break in expression, just a quick nod and a little smile and then kind of just stops acknowledging you, looks at the next group of people. 27:15.340 --> 27:16.521 [Riv (DM)]: Any change, sir? 27:19.044 --> 27:20.205 [Riv (DM)]: We will continue on our way. 27:22.668 --> 27:23.069 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 27:23.589 --> 27:24.030 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 27:26.086 --> 27:29.271 [Riv (DM)]: Heading on down the main street, hang a right towards the lion. 27:29.911 --> 27:39.004 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, you can find your way back to the same old familiar inn with the large hanging board out the front with the big wooden carved lion. 27:39.886 --> 27:43.431 [Riv (DM)]: And just as you're heading on in is probably about the time when the sun is setting. 27:44.172 --> 27:45.894 [Riv (DM)]: A few people are coming out as you're going in. 27:46.235 --> 27:48.718 [Riv (DM)]: A few people are coming in behind you as well. 27:48.698 --> 27:55.768 [Riv (DM)]: It is one of those evenings people are getting ready to come in and drink away some of their sorrows or enjoy their fortunes. 27:56.349 --> 28:02.377 [Riv (DM)]: As you come in, you recognise the same bartenders, the same owners. 28:02.838 --> 28:06.763 [Riv (DM)]: Is there anything specific you want to do in here or are we just going to call it in for the night? 28:14.394 --> 28:16.056 [Unmatched Speaker]: Got drunk and going to sleep, I would have thought. 28:19.073 --> 28:22.437 [JC (Ryo)]: Shall we get two rooms, or try and get one large room this time, or?

52:55.512 --> 52:58.356 [JC (Ryo)]: No, that's where you stole the book from, dude. 52:59.899 --> 53:01.881 [Riv (DM)]: It was a quill, wasn't it? 53:02.242 --> 53:06.909 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so the Apothecary was the place that you saved the girl. 53:07.490 --> 53:09.713 [Riv (DM)]: The Guild of Grimmar was where you stole the quill. 53:13.962 --> 53:19.234 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, let's go see what, uh, see if we can get some enchanted gear or see what, uh, what, uh, what else you can steal. 53:20.677 --> 53:21.639 [JC (Ryo)]: Not if he wants to be a dick. 53:23.002 --> 53:24.967 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's, it's a chick's place. 53:27.172 --> 53:27.292 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 53:27.312 --> 53:28.735 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 53:28.755 --> 53:30.179 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, well, you can make your way over. 53:30.479 --> 53:30.840 [Riv (DM)]: Um, 53:32.710 --> 53:40.506 [Riv (DM)]: So this sort of line of buildings is up on the southern end of the city, up on like a terrace and it looks out across so it's much much nicer. 53:41.047 --> 53:43.492 [Riv (DM)]: This is where some of the more upmarket shops and stuff are. 53:44.955 --> 53:52.069 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah so heading along down to the end of the street towards the bay itself and you can come to the Guild of Grimoire. 53:53.568 --> 53:57.514 [Riv (DM)]: If you head on in, it's kind of interesting when you wander in. 53:58.275 --> 54:04.425 [Riv (DM)]: You can immediately see the woman that you had interacted with last time and she had, I think, identified a few of your items. 54:05.707 --> 54:16.183 [Riv (DM)]: She's currently floating at the ceiling, just sort of hovering there, looking directly up at the ceiling, just kind of scratching her chin a bit quizzedly as you wander in and she hasn't noticed you. 54:24.820 --> 54:29.929 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is she like having a nap up there or is she suspended unwillingly?

56:07.771 --> 56:19.810 [Riv (DM)]: See, I know that I cast Fly on myself but I've just completely forgotten why and so I'm just sitting up here trying to remember why and I don't want to cancel my spell because what if I need to actually go back and do something so I'm just... 56:21.545 --> 56:21.905 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sorry. 56:21.925 --> 56:22.206 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway. 56:23.467 --> 56:23.727 [Riv (DM)]: Of course. 56:23.747 --> 56:26.309 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, let me, let me, let me just, I'll come back to this. 56:26.489 --> 56:29.652 [Riv (DM)]: And she just like, she floats down, but she still stays hovering. 56:29.832 --> 56:31.694 [Riv (DM)]: And she clearly wants to keep the spell going. 56:32.114 --> 56:33.215 [Riv (DM)]: How can I help you? 56:33.255 --> 56:34.557 [Riv (DM)]: Are you looking for anything specific? 56:45.146 --> 56:47.548 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How do you want to? 56:48.929 --> 56:49.830 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've got, uh, 56:50.975 --> 56:56.363 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Recently a bit of money coming off our last adventure and we're about to head out again. 56:56.783 --> 57:00.468 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Looking for a few things to increase the odds in our favour as it were. 57:01.890 --> 57:06.036 [Riv (DM)]: So you look after some items of the magical effects I assume?

57:44.550 --> 57:45.412 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, are you saying that to her? 57:46.093 --> 57:47.575 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, yep. 57:47.595 --> 57:49.838 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I mean the boots, they make you quiet. 57:50.493 --> 57:54.299 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Be regardless of surface, but does that reduce the sound of your arm? 57:56.382 --> 57:57.944 [Riv (DM)]: That's a good question, actually. 57:58.024 --> 57:58.986 [Riv (DM)]: Let me check that. 58:00.207 --> 58:07.298 [JC (Ryo)]: If not, I want the boots. 58:07.398 --> 58:10.763 [JC (Ryo)]: I was going to say, you or me would do really good with those, Death. 58:15.822 --> 58:17.004 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, you know what, Val? 58:17.024 --> 58:20.009 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm just curious about the details. 58:20.350 --> 58:21.652 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 58:21.793 --> 58:23.375 [Riv (DM)]: They're called Boots of Elvenkind. 58:23.856 --> 58:25.840 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want to look them up and confirm that? 58:26.501 --> 58:29.947 [Riv (DM)]: And I'll just quickly move on to the next items while you're doing it. 58:30.588 --> 58:38.843 [Riv (DM)]: She wraps out, she pulls out another cloak which looks very, very similarly styled to the boots themselves. 58:38.823 --> 58:42.929 [Riv (DM)]: Again, she says this will also help you hide more effectively. 58:44.772 --> 58:46.374 [Riv (DM)]: She pulls out a ring. 58:47.616 --> 58:48.257 [Riv (DM)]: This is nice. 58:48.297 --> 58:53.565 [Riv (DM)]: It will give you a bit of luck, a bit of favor at deflecting certain attacks or weapon. 58:53.845 --> 58:58.873 [Riv (DM)]: You know, if you're being shot at, you might be able to deflect them more easily with some magical protection. 58:58.853 --> 59:08.546 [Riv (DM)]: She pulls out a bigger sort of like bulky silk bag with a shoulder strap, dumps it on the table. 59:09.848 --> 59:10.890 [Riv (DM)]: This is an interesting thing. 59:11.471 --> 59:24.068 [Riv (DM)]: She pulls back the flap and reaches inside to grab something out and like kind of like leans right over and you see her hand just keeps on carrying on and into the bag until her entire arm is submerged into the bag itself. 59:24.048 --> 59:30.524 [Riv (DM)]: Like all the way up to her shoulder and then she pulls it back out and just pulls out like a little like toy like a bottle of ink or something like that. 59:31.266 --> 59:31.367 [Riv (DM)]: Huh? 59:31.467 --> 59:32.389 [Riv (DM)]: This is quite handy isn't it? 59:32.409 --> 59:33.853 [Riv (DM)]: You can fit all sorts of things in here. 59:33.893 --> 59:38.344 [Riv (DM)]: And oh yeah that's right finally these. 59:38.805 --> 59:41.432 [Riv (DM)]: And she pulls out two stones. 59:42.526 --> 59:45.109 [Riv (DM)]: With some arcane runes drawn on them. 59:45.129 --> 59:47.391 [Riv (DM)]: And she's like, now these are very nice. 59:48.052 --> 59:53.337 [Riv (DM)]: If you speak into one of them, the person who's holding the other stone will be able to hear it, no matter the distance. 59:56.501 --> 59:59.584 [Riv (DM)]: I think that's about it that I've got currently in stock. 59:59.684 --> 01:00:02.427 [Riv (DM)]: Any of these tickle your fancy? 01:00:06.511 --> 01:00:07.893 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How much have you got on the bag of holding? 01:00:09.755 --> 01:00:12.077 [Riv (DM)]: I'll part with this for 500 gold. 01:00:15.382 --> 01:00:30.419 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I reach into my pack, on the side of my pack, and I pull out one of the up plus one longswords. 01:00:30.439 --> 01:00:33.703 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Originally acquired this slightly enhanced weapon. 01:00:33.763 --> 01:00:37.127 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Perhaps we can come to some sort of trade. 01:00:39.269 --> 01:00:40.731 [Riv (DM)]: She reaches her hand out for it. 01:00:43.073 --> 01:00:44.454 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pass it over? 01:00:44.474 --> 01:00:44.734 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:00:44.755 --> 01:00:57.025 [Riv (DM)]: As she grabs it, she makes a few symbols in the air with her hand and a like a little fine purple pen in the air itself starts sort of scratching out some symbols and she whisks them away and her eyes glow. 01:00:57.546 --> 01:00:58.787 [Riv (DM)]: She kind of examines the item. 01:00:59.428 --> 01:01:00.429 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, very nice, very nice. 01:01:01.269 --> 01:01:05.373 [Riv (DM)]: Magically enhanced to be sharp, will never break. 01:01:05.393 --> 01:01:10.838 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a persuasion check. 01:01:10.898 --> 01:01:11.038 Please. 01:01:12.352 --> 01:01:13.473 [Riv (DM)]: You're really good at persuasion. 01:01:14.654 --> 01:01:16.036 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would you like some guidance? 01:01:20.140 --> 01:01:20.721 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, is that you? 01:01:21.001 --> 01:01:21.402 [Riv (DM)]: It's all good. 01:01:21.422 --> 01:01:22.283 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, beat a team. 01:01:22.443 --> 01:01:23.063 [Riv (DM)]: You can beat a team. 01:01:25.446 --> 01:01:27.108 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, wow, really good. 01:01:28.349 --> 01:01:31.212 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, I thought persuasion was like your dump stat. 01:01:31.713 --> 01:01:32.574 [Riv (DM)]: You got a plus six. 01:01:32.594 --> 01:01:34.396 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, no, I've got high charisma. 01:01:36.097 --> 01:01:37.079 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: My dump stat. 01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:38.460 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 01:01:39.571 --> 01:01:42.555 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I am honestly probably the face of the party. 01:01:43.717 --> 01:01:44.578 [Riv (DM)]: I agree. 01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:47.983 [Riv (DM)]: I'm terrible at speaking. 01:01:48.223 --> 01:01:53.350 [Riv (DM)]: She's willing to cross off 100 gold for that. 01:01:53.370 --> 01:01:54.312 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: For a plus one non-sword? 01:01:55.814 --> 01:01:57.055 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 01:01:57.075 --> 01:01:57.516 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: 100 gold? 01:01:57.977 --> 01:02:05.968 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Hmm. 01:02:05.988 --> 01:02:06.068 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Hmm. 01:02:08.174 --> 01:02:10.557 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A bit of a crappy deal, but what else am I going to do with it? 01:02:11.399 --> 01:02:12.200 [Riv (DM)]: Magic items are weird. 01:02:12.260 --> 01:02:13.442 [Riv (DM)]: Dual wield. 01:02:14.443 --> 01:02:20.011 [Riv (DM)]: It's... because if you think about what a normal sword would be, like first hand it's like 10 gold or something. 01:02:22.114 --> 01:02:26.120 [Riv (DM)]: You can't just like sell a longsword to someone for like 500 gold. 01:02:26.140 --> 01:02:26.881 [Riv (DM)]: No one's going to buy that. 01:02:27.622 --> 01:02:29.785 [Riv (DM)]: So trading items and stuff is a little bit awkward. 01:02:31.207 --> 01:02:31.447 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah. 01:02:32.349 --> 01:02:33.270 [Riv (DM)]: I think, so if we 01:02:35.073 --> 01:02:38.298 [Riv (DM)]: Magic items, what's... plus one longsword is uncommon? 01:02:39.660 --> 01:02:40.861 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think so. 01:02:41.222 --> 01:02:43.465 [Riv (DM)]: Uncommon items go anywhere from 100 to 500 gold. 01:02:44.146 --> 01:02:51.596 [Riv (DM)]: So, yeah, that's on the lower end of the agreement, but as part of the trade, I think, yeah, it's not too far off. 01:02:51.617 --> 01:02:53.299 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How much were you asking for the stones? 01:02:55.482 --> 01:02:56.143 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, the stones. 01:02:56.804 --> 01:02:58.266 [Riv (DM)]: I think they are quite a lot. 01:02:58.847 --> 01:03:00.810 [Riv (DM)]: 1200. 01:03:02.292 --> 01:03:02.532 [Unmatched Speaker]: Oof. 01:03:04.537 --> 01:03:07.341 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, stuff it. 01:03:07.521 --> 01:03:15.894 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll trade in the extra longsword for a bag of holding for 400, you said? 01:03:15.914 --> 01:03:15.994 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Mhm. 01:03:16.014 --> 01:03:16.955 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sounds good to me. 01:03:16.975 --> 01:03:17.797 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll take the bag of holding. 01:03:18.958 --> 01:03:21.222 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Sorry, what was the second stealth enhancing item? 01:03:21.642 --> 01:03:23.345 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It'd be a Cloak of Elvenkind, I would imagine. 01:03:26.009 --> 01:03:26.089 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep. 01:03:26.109 --> 01:03:26.970 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And how much for that one? 01:03:27.852 --> 01:03:28.713 [Riv (DM)]: 800 for that one. 01:03:30.896 --> 01:03:33.480 [Riv (DM)]: So that'll give you advantage on stealth checks when you're hiding? 01:03:35.215 --> 01:03:38.005 [Riv (DM)]: That's hella handy for someone like you. 01:03:38.045 --> 01:03:38.748 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's pretty good. 01:03:38.768 --> 01:03:40.354 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And the boots are the same thing, basically. 01:03:40.535 --> 01:03:46.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They just, the boots give you advantage on Dex stealth checks when you're moving somewhere. 01:03:47.180 --> 01:03:53.527 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Actually, I think the cloak is against per visually seen, and the boots are against hearing. 01:03:53.707 --> 01:03:54.167 [Lacer (Kai)]: Audibly? 01:03:54.548 --> 01:03:55.108 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Audible. 01:03:55.949 --> 01:03:57.811 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: From the little bit of Googling I just did. 01:03:57.831 --> 01:04:06.280 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: On texts that rely on moving silently, so...

01:11:36.011 --> 01:11:36.211 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 01:11:37.053 --> 01:11:39.996 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The dwarf is very slow, you'll have to explain it to him again. 01:11:42.019 --> 01:11:43.802 [Riv (DM)]: I'll chuck it into the notes. 01:11:45.263 --> 01:11:47.226 [Riv (DM)]: Oh gosh. 01:11:53.062 --> 01:12:04.340 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, I mean, we could just do it based off of, um, each item's scaled value as a part of the 3050, then discount off that, or you just do the flat 112 off each. 01:12:06.905 --> 01:12:13.796 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, I don't know, I was thinking percentage-wise is probably the easiest. 01:12:13.816 --> 01:12:19.525 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, probably do the percentage, because some items are way more expensive than the others, I think, maybe? 01:12:25.732 --> 01:12:27.434 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah. 01:12:28.536 --> 01:12:31.380 [Riv (DM)]: How about, um, how about we just move on? 01:12:31.460 --> 01:12:32.301 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's what, 70, 75%?

01:12:45.320 --> 01:12:45.460 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Mm-hmm. 01:12:45.480 --> 01:12:45.621 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 01:12:45.941 --> 01:12:46.702 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So it'd be like 750. 01:12:46.722 --> 01:12:49.326 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh yeah, easy enough. 01:12:53.187 --> 01:12:59.099 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So, just to make it easy, 25% discount on each item is probably the best, easiest way to break it up, I'm thinking. 01:13:00.402 --> 01:13:02.907 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, sounds good. 01:13:02.927 --> 01:13:03.989 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, all good, all good. 01:13:12.105 --> 01:13:12.867 [Riv (DM)]: Um, she... 01:13:14.973 --> 01:13:21.426 [Riv (DM)]: Looks over to the dwarf, recognizing your arcane symbols and your sort of stature. 01:13:21.967 --> 01:13:29.583 [Riv (DM)]: Notices a fellow magic user and says, are there any sort of magical scrolls or spells or anything that you're after?

02:16:36.242 --> 02:16:36.943 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, precisely. 02:16:38.546 --> 02:16:50.025 [Riv (DM)]: We've got contacts there and they've got a certain job that they need to do and well, Leah was the perfect person for the job. 02:16:51.575 --> 02:16:54.400 [Riv (DM)]: And so, yeah, essentially that is the idea. 02:16:55.482 --> 02:17:02.013 [Riv (DM)]: I'll be extremely gracious if you could do whatever you can to protect her. 02:17:02.774 --> 02:17:03.315 [Riv (DM)]: I'm fond of her. 02:17:03.575 --> 02:17:05.038 [Riv (DM)]: I've known her for a number of years now. 02:17:06.220 --> 02:17:06.961 [Riv (DM)]: She's a special child. 02:17:09.826 --> 02:17:13.853 [JC (Ryo)]: A question and a condition to tack onto this, depending on the answer of the question. 02:17:17.022 --> 02:17:25.794 [JC (Ryo)]: This group we're taking Leia to, are they in the same vein of Enterprise that you guys are? 02:17:28.517 --> 02:17:30.139 [Riv (DM)]: No, I wouldn't say that, fair. 02:17:31.681 --> 02:17:33.464 [Riv (DM)]: They're probably more organized than we are to be fair. 02:17:33.864 --> 02:17:36.588 [Riv (DM)]: Have you heard of the Order of the Ravens? 02:17:39.612 --> 02:17:40.533 [Lacer (Kai)]: First time for me. 02:17:40.693 --> 02:17:43.597 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I assume I haven't. 02:17:43.918 --> 02:17:45.780 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It is a name we have heard before, yes. 02:17:47.110 --> 02:17:48.994 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I am familiar with them. 02:17:49.676 --> 02:17:54.807 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there's one of their nests up in Val Miriel. 02:17:55.368 --> 02:17:58.335 [Riv (DM)]: That's basically where she's heading, yeah. 02:17:59.463 --> 02:18:00.684 [Riv (DM)]: We keep in contact with them. 02:18:00.704 --> 02:18:02.466 [Riv (DM)]: There's actually a local chapter here in Camaar. 02:18:02.927 --> 02:18:08.754 [Riv (DM)]: They're a bit stretched, shall we say, at the moment, and so haven't been able to necessarily help us here. 02:18:10.336 --> 02:18:16.122 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, word came through them that they needed someone specialized in infiltration. 02:18:17.103 --> 02:18:20.768 [Riv (DM)]: And so, yeah, Leah was the perfect person for the job. 02:18:21.188 --> 02:18:23.631 [Riv (DM)]: Now, you might be kind of thinking, 02:18:24.691 --> 02:18:32.959 [Riv (DM)]: That it's a bit callous or inappropriate for us to be sending such a young girl on a job like this. 02:18:34.600 --> 02:18:36.522 [Riv (DM)]: Believe me, I tried to talk her out of it. 02:18:37.823 --> 02:18:38.984 [Riv (DM)]: She's very set on this. 02:18:40.326 --> 02:18:41.467 [Riv (DM)]: She wants this specifically. 02:18:45.210 --> 02:18:46.011 [Riv (DM)]: Trying to get recruited? 02:18:47.953 --> 02:18:50.215 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I guess you'll have to talk to her about that. 02:18:50.235 --> 02:18:53.398 [Riv (DM)]: I think that she does have a mindset on that though. 02:18:54.779 --> 02:18:56.201 [Riv (DM)]: Well, apprentices do start young. 02:18:57.702 --> 02:18:58.283 [Riv (DM)]: It's unfortunate. 02:18:58.363 --> 02:18:59.084 [Riv (DM)]: It shouldn't be that way. 02:19:00.185 --> 02:19:00.466 [Riv (DM)]: But yes. 02:19:04.390 --> 02:19:14.542 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, I obviously, as I mentioned, I'll be most gracious if you can do whatever you can to take care of her. 02:19:14.683 --> 02:19:17.766 [Riv (DM)]: I wouldn't expect you to do this for free, of course, so we discussed payment. 02:19:19.008 --> 02:19:22.592 [Riv (DM)]: We had some items which I think were of interest to you. 02:19:24.277 --> 02:19:34.862 [Riv (DM)]: So, why don't you have a look at these and if there's anything you like, maybe it can endear you to us and it might motivate you more to, you know, just keep an eye out for her. 02:19:36.767 --> 02:19:38.050 [Riv (DM)]: And... 02:19:39.042 --> 02:19:51.456 [Riv (DM)]: Without going through a whole nother shopping description bullshit, he has available for your selection, I think I would have called these out last time. 02:19:52.117 --> 02:19:57.744 [Riv (DM)]: There is a Gloves of Missile, sorry, Gloves of Missile Snaring, yep. 02:19:58.725 --> 02:20:02.489 [Riv (DM)]: There are Braces of Archery and a Pearl of Power. 02:20:03.290 --> 02:20:04.431 [Riv (DM)]: And he's offering one of them to you. 02:20:05.112 --> 02:20:05.893 [Riv (DM)]: It's on your choosing. 02:20:07.780 --> 02:20:08.882 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: One of them to each of us. 02:20:09.784 --> 02:20:11.628 [Riv (DM)]: Just one, one to the group. 02:20:11.648 --> 02:20:12.691 [Riv (DM)]: Just one to the party. 02:20:12.911 --> 02:20:14.094 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:20:14.114 --> 02:20:19.946 [Riv (DM)]: So super quick, I believe Braces of Archery give a plus two to attack rolls for ranged weapons. 02:20:20.848 --> 02:20:21.590 [Riv (DM)]: Pearl of Power. 02:20:21.630 --> 02:20:23.995 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Rolls damage as well, I think. 02:20:24.656 --> 02:20:25.418 [Riv (DM)]: Might be, yeah. 02:20:26.079 --> 02:20:27.342 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're pretty fucking good. 02:20:27.473 --> 02:20:36.446 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Pearl of Power lets you restore a 3rd level spell slot once a day or up to a 3rd level spell slot and what did I say? 02:20:36.546 --> 02:20:37.327 [Riv (DM)]: Gloves of Missile Snaring. 02:20:37.347 --> 02:20:44.518 [Riv (DM)]: I think it just lets you roll a dex save if you're being attacked by a ranged weapon and you can catch the weapon, you can like catch the projectile and throw it back at someone. 02:20:45.439 --> 02:20:47.882 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Also the monk ability. 02:20:49.064 --> 02:20:50.586 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're like half of the monk ability. 02:20:50.606 --> 02:20:53.571 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You can't throw them back but you can catch it. 02:20:53.591 --> 02:20:54.612 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Gotcha. 02:20:56.887 --> 02:21:01.332 [JC (Ryo)]: I think it's one of the, it's either the pearl or the, um, the braces. 02:21:01.352 --> 02:21:04.696 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't think it's the second one, the, the other, whatever the first one was. 02:21:04.737 --> 02:21:10.584 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Pearl of Wisdom does sound... spicy. 02:21:10.964 --> 02:21:13.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: I like it. 02:21:18.413 --> 02:21:21.617 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm assuming it's an action to cast, um, use the pearl? 02:21:22.919 --> 02:21:23.880 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I believe so. 02:21:24.080 --> 02:21:24.160 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep. 02:21:26.097 --> 02:21:29.682 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Assuming you're in combat. 02:21:29.702 --> 02:21:30.663 [JC (Ryo)]: Of course, of course. 02:21:31.163 --> 02:21:37.371 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, I mean, I'm going to be biased and want the archery thing, but I honestly think the pearl might be a bit better. 02:21:40.936 --> 02:21:45.141 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's decide when we get back, you know, to collect the reward. 02:21:45.802 --> 02:21:48.005 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't think we'll be coming back here to collect it. 02:21:48.025 --> 02:21:49.607 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think it'll be... 02:21:49.874 --> 02:21:51.396 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The girl will have it on her. 02:21:52.557 --> 02:21:53.639 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Or something. 02:21:53.659 --> 02:21:57.844 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's no way we're coming back south into the ship that we have just stirred up. 02:21:58.805 --> 02:22:01.208 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I thought he was giving it to us already. 02:22:01.408 --> 02:22:06.614 [Riv (DM)]: He has the items now and he's offering it to you as a gesture of like good faith and goodwill. 02:22:07.315 --> 02:22:10.018 [Riv (DM)]: He wants to try and protect her as much as possible. 02:22:10.459 --> 02:22:14.964 [Riv (DM)]: And so he's trying to upfront, you know, by your appreciation or whatever. 02:22:16.226 --> 02:22:17.367 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright. 02:22:18.123 --> 02:22:22.067 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, you said a plus two to archery to the hit chance, did you? 02:22:22.167 --> 02:22:23.769 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Plus two to hit and plus two to damage. 02:22:23.909 --> 02:22:26.032 [Riv (DM)]: I think it actually might be just plus two to damage. 02:22:26.212 --> 02:22:26.933 [Riv (DM)]: I just had a quick look. 02:22:28.014 --> 02:22:29.395 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh, you know, it's the archery fighting style. 02:22:29.415 --> 02:22:30.937 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's plus two to damage. 02:22:30.997 --> 02:22:32.238 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, it's not as good as I thought that. 02:22:33.079 --> 02:22:34.281 [Lacer (Kai)]: Braces of Archery. 02:22:34.301 --> 02:22:36.023 [JC (Ryo)]: If it's plus two to damage, get the pearl. 02:22:36.103 --> 02:22:39.526 [JC (Ryo)]: If it's plus two to hit, that gives me a plus eleven to hit. 02:22:39.546 --> 02:22:43.491 [Riv (DM)]: So your proficiency with longbows and shortbows and you gain a plus two bonus damage. 02:22:43.511 --> 02:22:47.455 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Whistling to four main stat, bear in mind. 02:22:49.645 --> 02:22:50.446 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pretty fucking good. 02:22:53.870 --> 02:22:57.654 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: My two cents would be to flip a coin on it. 02:22:57.914 --> 02:22:59.276 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How about you two guys roll? 02:23:01.398 --> 02:23:01.859 [Riv (DM)]: Rollies! 02:23:02.059 --> 02:23:02.740 [Riv (DM)]: Go for it. 02:23:02.860 --> 02:23:04.642 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm happy to put it to the party. 02:23:04.722 --> 02:23:07.705 [JC (Ryo)]: I honestly think the third level spell will probably benefit the group more. 02:23:09.667 --> 02:23:13.932 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's a trade off sustained DPS versus burst. 02:23:15.025 --> 02:23:15.526 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Roll. 02:23:15.726 --> 02:23:16.166 [Unmatched Speaker]: Roll. 02:23:16.207 --> 02:23:16.487 [Unmatched Speaker]: Roll. 02:23:16.607 --> 02:23:17.448 [Unmatched Speaker]: Roll. 02:23:17.468 --> 02:23:18.990 [Riv (DM)]: Roll. 02:23:19.130 --> 02:23:19.631 [Riv (DM)]: We're going for it. 02:23:19.911 --> 02:23:20.672 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately... 02:23:20.692 --> 02:23:22.174 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's not necessarily a Fireball. 02:23:22.575 --> 02:23:23.656 [Riv (DM)]: Rio's not here to roll. 02:23:24.978 --> 02:23:25.979 [Riv (DM)]: I can't roll. 02:23:26.160 --> 02:23:27.982 [Riv (DM)]: Do you delegate your roll for Lacer? 02:23:30.966 --> 02:23:32.828 [JC (Ryo)]: If this is what the group wants to do, sure. 02:23:33.069 --> 02:23:39.697 [JC (Ryo)]: But, yeah. 02:23:39.777 --> 02:23:40.999 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Either would be very useful. 02:23:41.384 --> 02:23:45.289 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, that's why I was saying, slip a coin on it, let the dice decide. 02:23:45.329 --> 02:23:47.011 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's my take anyway. 02:23:47.071 --> 02:23:48.834 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What, uh, what D? 02:23:48.874 --> 02:23:50.396 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's the old guy's name again? 02:23:50.917 --> 02:23:51.377 [Riv (DM)]: Elisar. 02:23:51.818 --> 02:23:53.560 [Lacer (Kai)]: E-L-L-E-S-A-R. 02:23:53.580 --> 02:23:55.342 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ask Elisar for two dice. 02:23:56.724 --> 02:23:59.848 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, one of the kids can easily find you two dice. 02:24:00.369 --> 02:24:02.171 [Riv (DM)]: D20s for some reason are very random. 02:24:05.135 --> 02:24:07.318 [Riv (DM)]: Does that have to be D20s or can they be D6s? 02:24:07.939 --> 02:24:09.501 [Riv (DM)]: They can be whatever you want them to be, man. 02:24:10.105 --> 02:24:14.191 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Unusual that we would haggle so hard in the shop and not ask him for both prizes. 02:24:14.211 --> 02:24:15.092 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: A D6 and a D37. 02:24:17.135 --> 02:24:18.256 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why a D37? 02:24:18.396 --> 02:24:19.338 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 02:24:19.358 --> 02:24:19.458 [Riv (DM)]: One. 02:24:21.761 --> 02:24:24.545 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, let's just move it forward. 02:24:24.565 --> 02:24:28.570 [Riv (DM)]: So, are we sure you guys are comfortable doing a roll-off for it? 02:24:29.798 --> 02:24:30.679 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't really care. 02:24:30.719 --> 02:24:31.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't benefit from either. 02:24:32.101 --> 02:24:34.325 [Lacer (Kai)]: Either would be good for the party regardless. 02:24:36.528 --> 02:24:40.614 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wouldn't you be advantaged with an extra third level spell as well? 02:24:41.476 --> 02:24:42.417 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, I wasn't interested. 02:24:42.457 --> 02:24:44.961 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's an attuned item, so you can't pass it on. 02:24:45.041 --> 02:24:46.683 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, only one person. 02:24:46.703 --> 02:24:47.344 [JC (Ryo)]: Why not? 02:24:47.364 --> 02:24:49.988 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, but you could have it instead of Kiwi. 02:24:50.008 --> 02:24:51.791 [JC (Ryo)]: It doesn't have to go to Kiwi, is what I'm saying. 02:24:51.991 --> 02:24:53.654 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, but he's got more spells than I do. 02:24:55.777 --> 02:24:57.139 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What does attuned mean? 02:24:57.693 --> 02:25:04.420 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It means you have to sit down and you spend an hour with it, I believe, and then you can use it. 02:25:04.840 --> 02:25:05.821 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So you can't pass it around. 02:25:06.042 --> 02:25:07.643 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 02:25:09.906 --> 02:25:10.847 [Riv (DM)]: And you can only have three. 02:25:12.128 --> 02:25:16.813 [Riv (DM)]: So you'll get to the point where you've got so many magical items you have to decide which ones you want to have equipped because you can only have three. 02:25:20.597 --> 02:25:23.180 [Lacer (Kai)]: Both of them require attunement, don't they?

02:33:26.616 --> 02:33:28.518 [Riv (DM)]: What time of day is it? 02:33:28.538 --> 02:33:29.459 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it's still pretty early. 02:33:29.479 --> 02:33:30.641 [Riv (DM)]: I would say it's barely midday. 02:33:31.662 --> 02:33:35.968 [Riv (DM)]: It will take like 20 minutes to wander to each store. 02:33:36.429 --> 02:33:38.411 [Riv (DM)]: So 20, 30 minutes to each one. 02:33:38.612 --> 02:33:40.775 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe you were shopping for like an hour then, hour and a half. 02:33:41.375 --> 02:33:42.036 [Riv (DM)]: A little scuffle. 02:33:43.358 --> 02:33:43.819 [Riv (DM)]: A couple of hours. 02:33:43.839 --> 02:33:46.963 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's slightly before midday, I'd say. 02:33:48.479 --> 02:33:49.824 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, let's get out of here, guys. 02:33:53.697 --> 02:33:54.721 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:33:54.781 --> 02:33:56.326 [Riv (DM)]: So, let's talk about travel. 02:33:57.029 --> 02:33:57.932 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone's favourite. 02:33:59.043 --> 02:34:04.008 [Riv (DM)]: So it's going to be about 100 miles to get from Camaar to Farhaven. 02:34:07.892 --> 02:34:13.037 [Riv (DM)]: So if you're walking, you can walk roughly 25 miles a day at a normal pace. 02:34:14.199 --> 02:34:16.521 [Riv (DM)]: So it'll be roughly four days to get to Farhaven. 02:34:17.042 --> 02:34:17.742 [Riv (DM)]: It's a good road. 02:34:18.563 --> 02:34:25.270 [Riv (DM)]: People have mentioned probably along the coast, so it won't be any difficult terrain or anything. 02:34:25.250 --> 02:34:30.082 [Riv (DM)]: Are you happy to take it on foot, or Erendor mentioned potentially looking at a horse. 02:34:31.004 --> 02:34:31.545 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Or horses. 02:34:33.711 --> 02:34:37.079 [JC (Ryo)]: What's horse and cart rental gonna cost us? 02:34:38.382 --> 02:34:42.432 [Riv (DM)]: So rather than roleplaying a whole stable, let's kind of just 02:34:42.935 --> 02:34:44.538 [Riv (DM)]: Let's just swing past that. 02:34:45.159 --> 02:34:47.944 [Riv (DM)]: Let me pull up horse notes for you. 02:34:47.964 --> 02:34:56.460 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Rental's probably easier because I can tell you from every single fucking game that I've ever played where we've had horses, it becomes a thing of you just abandon the horses. 02:34:58.404 --> 02:34:59.305 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, that I know. 02:34:59.366 --> 02:35:02.151 [JC (Ryo)]: You always end up leaving them behind because you end up teleporting somewhere. 02:35:02.652 --> 02:35:03.854 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, or yeah. 02:35:04.635 --> 02:35:05.517 [JC (Ryo)]: Rental's better. 02:35:06.104 --> 02:35:08.226 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Any merchants we can ask?

Can the rest of you come forward from around the wagon, please? 02:55:56.287 --> 02:55:57.969 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I hop out. 02:56:01.594 --> 02:56:03.696 [Lacer (Kai)]: And ask, what can we help you with? 02:56:05.078 --> 02:56:07.160 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's a lot of weapons you guys are carrying. 02:56:07.201 --> 02:56:13.768 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've only got a spear, but I'm a cleric. 02:56:14.309 --> 02:56:15.090 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's for defense. 02:56:16.690 --> 02:56:18.635 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Wouldn't be much good as mercenaries if we weren't armed. 02:56:24.368 --> 02:56:25.631 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's bread and butter. 02:56:29.440 --> 02:56:30.883 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, roll a persuasion check. 02:56:32.887 --> 02:56:33.990 [Riv (DM)]: For me or for... 02:56:34.493 --> 02:56:37.820 [Riv (DM)]: Vellerinkendor, since he was kind of driving the conversation for the most part. 02:56:38.501 --> 02:56:40.746 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I have advantage on this because of Splendor? 02:56:40.766 --> 02:56:41.147 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 02:56:42.310 --> 02:56:43.692 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll drop a Dreadnest as well. 02:56:44.013 --> 02:56:46.939 [Lacer (Kai)]: You've got, yeah, you've got Enhanceability as well. 02:56:47.340 --> 02:56:50.427 [Riv (DM)]: Damn. 02:56:50.447 --> 02:56:51.148 [Riv (DM)]: Oh god. 02:56:51.168 --> 02:56:52.651 [Riv (DM)]: 32. 02:56:52.671 --> 02:56:55.337 [Riv (DM)]: 32, wow. 02:57:00.532 --> 02:57:07.187 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, well, you needed a 20, so that's good. 02:57:07.207 --> 02:57:08.430 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are they thoroughly convinced? 02:57:09.352 --> 02:57:15.385 [Riv (DM)]: This guy, he's convinced, and he's actually kind of impressed, to be honest. 02:57:16.934 --> 02:57:24.001 [Riv (DM)]: It kind of just, you can see him sort of nodding about like, hmm, you know, these guys look like they are actually quite experienced. 02:57:25.223 --> 02:57:38.576 [Riv (DM)]: I don't buy for a second that they're just transporting this little girl for a family, but they, you know, they clearly, they're telling the truth about being an experienced group of mercenaries. 02:57:41.459 --> 02:57:45.844 [Riv (DM)]: So he's going to just kind of nod to you and be like, very well. 02:57:47.073 --> 02:57:48.094 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, best of luck to you. 02:57:49.035 --> 02:57:49.696 [Riv (DM)]: Be careful out there. 02:57:49.736 --> 02:57:50.196 [Riv (DM)]: There is... 02:57:52.098 --> 02:57:58.444 [Riv (DM)]: There are words of rebellion against the Empire and... No. 02:57:59.205 --> 02:57:59.826 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, indeed. 02:58:00.687 --> 02:58:03.249 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Does the Empire have a specific military salute? 02:58:05.532 --> 02:58:06.993 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Wait, do you recall? 02:58:07.033 --> 02:58:10.176 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Good question. 02:58:10.216 --> 02:58:11.197 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:58:12.719 --> 02:58:15.442 [Riv (DM)]: I would say if they did, you probably wouldn't remember it. 02:58:16.743 --> 02:58:16.843 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:58:18.578 --> 02:58:19.502 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wouldn't remember it. 02:58:20.044 --> 02:58:22.051 [Lacer (Kai)]: You wouldn't remember it, no. 02:58:22.192 --> 02:58:25.263 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there an Adventurers salute, since we worked with the Green Gryphon? 02:58:26.809 --> 02:58:28.335 [Lacer (Kai)]: Uh, yeah, sure. 02:58:30.138 --> 02:58:34.342 [Lacer (Kai)]: Adventure or salute, you mean two fingers. 02:58:34.402 --> 02:58:37.565 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not a good one to use, no. 02:58:37.965 --> 02:58:53.219 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, sure, I guess there were a couple of other things that was going to happen, but 32 doesn't give me a lot of options here, so he's convinced. 02:58:53.999 --> 02:59:00.145 [Riv (DM)]: And actually he is willing to talk a little bit as well, if you wanted to try and glean some information from him. 02:59:00.125 --> 02:59:01.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, milk him, Vale. 02:59:01.647 --> 02:59:02.529 [Riv (DM)]: Milk him. 02:59:02.649 --> 02:59:13.646 [Riv (DM)]: He kind of hinted that, you know, there is rebellion brewing and that, you know, our job is to start clamping down on these ruffians that are spraying up all over the land at the moment. 02:59:14.848 --> 02:59:16.250 [Riv (DM)]: You best stay out of trouble. 02:59:17.331 --> 02:59:19.815 [Riv (DM)]: Stick to the mercenary work and you'll be fine. 02:59:21.117 --> 02:59:24.242 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, he's willing to talk for a little bit if you want to ask anything. 02:59:24.627 --> 02:59:31.954 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'd heard whispers and tales of stuff getting a little bit messy up north, but I was a little bit surprised to hear it south. 02:59:31.994 --> 02:59:34.437 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I thought it was a well-locked-down, secure area. 02:59:35.618 --> 02:59:39.341 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, that's what we thought as well, but yeah. 02:59:40.202 --> 02:59:43.345 [Riv (DM)]: Apparently not, but I'm not going to go too much into that. 02:59:44.306 --> 02:59:50.432 [Riv (DM)]: Let's just say it's time that people start to know their place in the world. 02:59:53.737 --> 02:59:54.818 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Only a hundred? 02:59:56.681 --> 03:00:02.549 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not that I'm saying that they're not capable soldiers, but I suppose that's enough. 03:00:04.171 --> 03:00:04.872 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We won't complain. 03:00:04.952 --> 03:00:08.217 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A hundred soldiers heading south means there's probably more work for us up north. 03:00:09.679 --> 03:00:11.261 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 03:00:11.281 --> 03:00:12.162 [Riv (DM)]: I hope so for you. 03:00:12.362 --> 03:00:13.083 [Riv (DM)]: I hope so for your sake. 03:00:15.607 --> 03:00:22.596 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I'm not going to go into too much detail, obviously, about what we're doing, but anyway, I guess you'd best be on your way. 03:00:24.770 --> 03:00:26.255 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Keep up the good work, lads. 03:00:27.438 --> 03:00:32.575 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You go deal with the rebels and we'll make sure all the monsters and stuff stay under control. 03:00:33.438 --> 03:00:33.598 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 03:00:35.013 --> 03:00:40.881 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, and with that, the two go back and join the head of the column and they start marching again. 03:00:41.963 --> 03:00:47.431 [Riv (DM)]: Now these soldiers, they're not hands of the Empire. 03:00:47.451 --> 03:00:51.336 [Riv (DM)]: They're clearly more than just the typical sort of soldiers or guards that you've seen so far. 03:00:51.657 --> 03:00:54.481 [Riv (DM)]: These appear to be, you know, the Imperial Army. 03:00:55.202 --> 03:01:00.790 [Riv (DM)]: They have got more tidy chainmail, more, you know, burnished weapons and helmets and shields and stuff like that. 03:01:00.910 --> 03:01:02.252 [Riv (DM)]: So it's a... 03:01:02.840 --> 03:01:05.645 [Riv (DM)]: We're looking at army here, or part of the army. 03:01:06.667 --> 03:01:07.208 [Riv (DM)]: Proper soldiers. 03:01:08.770 --> 03:01:11.014 [Riv (DM)]: But they head off, they carry on along the road. 03:01:11.575 --> 03:01:17.265 [Riv (DM)]: And you have very, very, very easily managed to circumvent potentially a tricky situation. 03:01:19.489 --> 03:01:19.790 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:01:21.012 --> 03:01:24.678 [Riv (DM)]: And then, I guess, carrying on for the rest of the day. 03:01:25.320 --> 03:01:25.760 [Riv (DM)]: That's it. 03:01:25.780 --> 03:01:26.181 [Riv (DM)]: That's fine. 03:01:27.106 --> 03:01:32.716 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: As we travel, I think on the faces of the hands I saw, anything? 03:01:33.057 --> 03:01:33.538 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Anything at all? 03:01:36.784 --> 03:01:37.605 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Were they younger looking? 03:01:40.010 --> 03:01:41.773 [Riv (DM)]: There was a mixture. 03:01:44.032 --> 03:01:49.919 [Riv (DM)]: The woman was sort of middle-aged, the man that you're talking to was slightly older, probably like fifties. 03:01:51.260 --> 03:01:52.281 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, not green. 03:01:52.922 --> 03:01:57.167 [Lacer (Kai)]: So nothing, these people we haven't seen before at all, not recognisable. 03:01:57.828 --> 03:02:03.334 [Riv (DM)]: No, and I think you, Valeran, I probably wouldn't even let you roll for it because I don't think you would have met these people. 03:02:04.035 --> 03:02:04.656 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, that's fair. 03:02:04.856 --> 03:02:08.520 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was just wondering if there was a chance of them recognising me. 03:02:09.479 --> 03:02:16.006 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So one has maybe more wood, but maybe they're just not looking hard enough at the right time. 03:02:16.306 --> 03:02:16.506 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:02:18.308 --> 03:02:18.669 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:02:19.449 --> 03:02:22.152 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Assessment of the soldiers. 03:02:23.053 --> 03:02:25.095 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well equipped, well trained, marching well. 03:02:25.856 --> 03:02:26.617 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah. 03:02:26.637 --> 03:02:27.398 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, pristine. 03:02:29.540 --> 03:02:29.960 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Disciplined. 03:02:30.761 --> 03:02:31.682 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 03:02:31.702 --> 03:02:32.323 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Morale looks good. 03:02:33.844 --> 03:02:34.986 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:02:35.006 --> 03:02:35.967 [Riv (DM)]: They're looking pretty solid. 03:02:37.208 --> 03:02:39.250 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'll have to change that. 03:02:41.660 --> 03:02:43.785 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Once we travel... Fireball. 03:02:43.805 --> 03:02:44.367 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Only a hundred. 03:02:44.407 --> 03:02:45.269 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're obviously... 03:02:46.291 --> 03:02:52.486 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Admittedly, I don't know military sizes, but a hundred doesn't seem a lot. 03:02:52.507 --> 03:02:55.093 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A hundred, a police action, it's not a campaign. 03:02:55.153 --> 03:02:56.817 [Lacer (Kai)]: A hundred's three platoons. 03:02:58.298 --> 03:03:01.286 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's all depending on what the population is. 03:03:01.326 --> 03:03:11.914 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It is hard to decide medieval armies because you go from like Roman times where you're throwing thousands at each other to Dark Ages where a battle between cities is like 20 versus 20. 03:03:12.977 --> 03:03:13.438 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:03:13.418 --> 03:03:20.494 [Riv (DM)]: So like it's obviously not like the army it's just a small regiment. 03:03:21.677 --> 03:03:30.297 [Riv (DM)]: The whole situation happened like a couple of weeks ago and they probably only found out about it maybe a week ago if they're lucky. 03:03:31.525 --> 03:03:34.449 [Riv (DM)]: So it's, you know, things take time to mobilize, I suppose. 03:03:35.270 --> 03:03:40.137 [Riv (DM)]: This seems to be just a forward force to go and lock down certain regions and whatnot. 03:03:40.478 --> 03:03:44.964 [Riv (DM)]: A hundred really, really well armed soldiers can, you know, they can lock down a city. 03:03:45.364 --> 03:03:50.091 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And five hands, five hands is a big commitment ultimately. 03:03:51.472 --> 03:03:53.515 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's a shame someone fired a fireball. 03:03:55.198 --> 03:03:57.341 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, Kiwi, you're the one with the buttons. 03:03:57.401 --> 03:03:58.082 [Riv (DM)]: I won't stop you. 03:04:01.126 --> 03:04:03.490 [Riv (DM)]: Depends how long you want this campaign to go for, I suppose. 03:04:04.451 --> 03:04:06.234 [JC (Ryo)]: Deathmouse, are you holding a knife to his throat? 03:04:06.635 --> 03:04:07.896 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: To his throat, or am I as well? 03:04:09.779 --> 03:04:14.546 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm using my rope to tie him up while you hold the knife to his throat. 03:04:14.566 --> 03:04:16.990 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Unfortunately for you, the dwarf is silent. 03:04:17.442 --> 03:04:19.406 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And has walked away without you hearing. 03:04:21.531 --> 03:04:24.357 [Riv (DM)]: He's got those boots. 03:04:24.377 --> 03:04:24.958 [Riv (DM)]: True. 03:04:27.143 --> 03:04:27.704 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, good. 03:04:28.025 --> 03:04:28.486 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:04:28.586 --> 03:04:31.512 [Riv (DM)]: Well, um, I think, yes, it's getting late, so let's call it there. 03:04:31.653 --> 03:04:37.425 [Riv (DM)]: We will, we'll arrive basically at Farhaven, I think, um, over the next day, and you can see the city. 03:04:37.405 --> 03:04:44.092 [Riv (DM)]: Spoiling out in front of you, Farhaven is built on a peninsula, and there is no wall around the city. 03:04:44.132 --> 03:04:47.535 [Riv (DM)]: It's to the western side of the city, inland. 03:04:48.076 --> 03:04:56.664 [Riv (DM)]: There are crops and pastures, and the big main road just cuts straight through the middle of them, and then off to the east, the city is built outwards on the peninsula itself. 03:04:57.726 --> 03:05:02.590 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, and so we will, I guess let's arrive at Farhaven in the next session, and we'll see what you guys want to do. 03:05:05.894 --> 03:05:07.075 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 03:05:07.055 --> 03:05:24.540 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool.
