18:50.572 --> 18:58.048 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You can upload a transcript to Google and it'll give you a podcast of a back-and-forth discussing what you upload. 18:58.269 --> 18:58.710 [Riv (DM)]: Incredible. 18:59.070 --> 19:00.273 [Riv (DM)]: It could probably take forever. 19:01.335 --> 19:04.282 [Riv (DM)]: The problem is it's a heap of wacky words that it probably can't pronounce. 19:05.825 --> 19:08.631 [Riv (DM)]: Which, hey, would probably just make it more funnier, innit? 19:08.611 --> 19:15.382 [Riv (DM)]: I'll just quickly read through it anyway just in case people haven't read it. 19:15.402 --> 19:21.030 [Riv (DM)]: So last time it was you were departing the mine after making a deal with Nelfondris the Banished. 19:22.292 --> 19:33.690 [Riv (DM)]: You collapsed the entrance to the mine just to sort of wall it off, block it off as part of the agreement that at some point later down the line you might come back to the mine and use it for yourselves. 19:33.670 --> 19:35.854 [Riv (DM)]: You stayed the night on the mountain and then headed off down. 19:35.874 --> 19:52.945 [Riv (DM)]: You were ambushed by a couple of tigers and what turns out to be a chimera that was chasing those tigers, who turned its attention to you, had a little battle and killed it, chucked it on the back of your wagon and hauled it all the way back to town. 19:54.427 --> 20:01.659 [Riv (DM)]: You got to the city and found that the entrance was buzzing with people being turned away. 20:01.679 --> 20:11.033 [Riv (DM)]: There was a big crowd being gathered and much more soldiers, many more soldiers than usual who were turning people away unless there were official documentation allowing people to enter. 20:12.536 --> 20:18.325 [Riv (DM)]: With the classic Valoran persuasion rolls, 20:18.929 --> 20:31.109 [Riv (DM)]: You were able to talk your way through as under the, well not even necessarily the guys, under the very valid membership to the Green Griffins Guild and a bit of smooth talking, they let you on through. 20:31.149 --> 20:39.503 [Riv (DM)]: And within you found that the city had been embroiled in what appeared to be riots for the past few days. 20:39.652 --> 20:43.299 [Riv (DM)]: Unsure as to why or what had happened, but you found the city in disarray. 20:43.359 --> 20:51.716 [Riv (DM)]: There was graffiti everywhere, broken windows, rubble, and posters that had been sort of hung up in places around the city, a few of them being torn down. 20:51.776 --> 21:01.896 [Riv (DM)]: You grabbed a couple of the posters yourselves and headed to directly the Fir and Fang, which was where you planned to take the Chimera with the hopes of 21:01.876 --> 21:03.539 [Riv (DM)]: Harvesting some of the materials. 21:04.562 --> 21:18.771 [Riv (DM)]: Upon reaching there you had a bit of a discussion and you learned that the reason why the city had fallen to disarray was because someone had broken into the Bastion, the main military building at the north of the military way. 21:19.375 --> 21:36.888 [Riv (DM)]: Someone had broken in and stolen a bunch of the notes and communications and letters and put together some dossiers which were these posters essentially that were put up around the city that sort of outlined just horrendous treatment and plans for the citizens. 21:36.968 --> 21:40.675 [Riv (DM)]: Things like increased taxes to support the war efforts, 21:40.655 --> 21:51.015 [Riv (DM)]: Mandatory conscriptions and people being taken as prisoners just for no cause essentially to be sent to work on the Skyreach project, or what you would assume to be the Skyreach project. 21:51.896 --> 21:54.802 [Riv (DM)]: And hence, yeah, the city revolted. 21:54.842 --> 22:00.132 [Riv (DM)]: The people rose up and started fighting back. 22:00.112 --> 22:14.591 [Riv (DM)]: After learning all of this, you left the Chimera with Gara and Kira at the Fur and Fang so that they could spend a bit of time with it to determine how many, I guess, parts could be extracted for sale. 22:15.192 --> 22:23.503 [Riv (DM)]: And you went to the Green Griffins to inform them of the results of the Ruby Falls goldmine mission. 22:23.483 --> 22:31.485 [Riv (DM)]: The sort of the head, the head patron in this particular branch of the Green Griffins. 22:32.765 --> 22:42.694 [Riv (DM)]: He was happy to take what you'd said under advisement in the sense that we know actually what happened there, right? 22:43.654 --> 22:45.916 [Riv (DM)]: But we're gonna sort of pretend like we don't. 22:46.237 --> 22:48.739 [Riv (DM)]: The mine is abandoned, it's been broken down, nothing we can do. 22:49.499 --> 23:01.810 [Riv (DM)]: Basically too bad that the guy that hired the griffins might be a bit of a reputational hit for the griffins as they technically failed the mission, but in the longer term potentially a lot more profitable because now there is a gold mine up for grabs. 23:01.790 --> 23:07.498 [Riv (DM)]: Other than that, I guess that was where we basically left off. 23:08.360 --> 23:20.237 [Riv (DM)]: Late in the evening, probably a few hours before midnight, you were gathered around inside the Green Griffin building, just discussing the events of the day. 23:20.217 --> 23:26.829 [Riv (DM)]: As the dim light from the fire is sort of just crackling away in the background. 23:27.630 --> 23:33.220 [Riv (DM)]: And I'll kick it over to you guys to decide what you want to do for the rest of the evening or whatever. 23:44.359 --> 23:45.381 [Lacer (Kai)]: Currently where are we? 23:46.019 --> 23:47.321 [Riv (DM)]: In the Green Griffins, yeah. 23:47.521 --> 23:54.130 [Riv (DM)]: Inside the main hall beside the big log fire. 23:54.190 --> 23:54.911 [Riv (DM)]: Right, right. 23:58.115 --> 23:59.937 [JC (Ryo)]: We agreed we were going to stay here the night, didn't we? 24:00.097 --> 24:01.459 [JC (Ryo)]: Or were we going to go find a hotel? 24:05.084 --> 24:05.464 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 24:05.705 --> 24:15.317 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was going to head up to the temple and hit up the high priest and potentially stay there the night, but... 24:16.276 --> 24:17.998 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh yeah, I was going to come, wasn't I? 24:18.419 --> 24:19.320 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you can come along. 24:20.141 --> 24:22.484 [Lacer (Kai)]: Up to you what you want to do. 24:24.146 --> 24:36.623 [Lacer (Kai)]: But yeah, we can all meet here in the morning since nightfall has come. 24:36.783 --> 24:38.045 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is Valerian in earshot? 24:41.008 --> 24:42.250 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I can't hear. 24:44.778 --> 24:46.140 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're not much use up at the temple. 24:47.923 --> 24:52.950 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you wanna check out, test out those walkie-talkie rocks? 24:53.351 --> 24:54.933 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know what I mean? 24:54.953 --> 25:05.389 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh yeah, um, I should, when we get a quiet moment, I'll pull one out and send a message to the Baron Lord, what's his name? 25:06.350 --> 25:07.291 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Governor Darlos. 25:08.233 --> 25:13.080 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We, actually, we probably need to book a time for a chat. 25:14.444 --> 25:17.189 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Because I know you can't just pick it up on the intro constantly. 25:18.351 --> 25:27.888 [Lacer (Kai)]: I remember it was like some... he picks it up at a certain hour in the evening every day to check or something like along the lines of that. 25:30.473 --> 25:32.136 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, I remember that. 25:32.156 --> 25:34.039 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't remember when. 25:34.745 --> 25:41.853 [Riv (DM)]: Well, the way that sending stones work, you speak into it and you send a message. 25:41.873 --> 25:42.955 [Riv (DM)]: No more than 25 words. 25:43.635 --> 25:45.217 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't arrive instantly. 25:45.798 --> 25:47.540 [Riv (DM)]: The stone will sort of... What? 25:48.681 --> 25:49.322 [Riv (DM)]: This is new. 25:49.402 --> 25:53.107 [Riv (DM)]: It will arrive instantly, but you don't have to be there to listen to it. 25:55.109 --> 25:56.891 [Riv (DM)]: When you come across a stone, it'll be... 25:56.911 --> 25:57.131 [Riv (DM)]: Convenient. 25:57.151 --> 26:01.056 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it'll be indicating that there is a message there and then you can grab it and listen to it. 26:01.542 --> 26:03.324 [Lacer (Kai)]: So it's a magic pager. 26:04.606 --> 26:05.107 [Riv (DM)]: Kind of, yeah. 26:06.228 --> 26:14.098 [Riv (DM)]: At least that's how I like to think of it because otherwise it's kind of bullshit because like you can send a message to someone who's asleep and you just get no response which would be kind of unsatisfying. 26:17.623 --> 26:18.744 [Lacer (Kai)]: Fair enough, fair enough. 26:18.824 --> 26:19.485 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's cool. 26:19.806 --> 26:21.127 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's pretty cool. 26:21.147 --> 26:24.872 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: 25 words? 26:25.333 --> 26:30.840 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 26:31.327 --> 26:32.910 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just got back to town. 26:34.552 --> 26:37.116 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Absolute... Is clusterfuck one word or two words? 26:38.679 --> 26:39.680 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Shit show. 26:39.700 --> 26:40.822 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Shit show. 26:40.842 --> 26:42.525 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Shit show. 26:42.545 --> 26:46.571 [Riv (DM)]: You could hyphenate it and maybe convince the gods that it counts as one. 26:47.473 --> 26:48.695 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fuck out there. 26:50.758 --> 26:52.941 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Things under control on your end? 26:53.622 --> 26:57.148 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And I'll leave it at that. 26:58.715 --> 26:59.696 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does he know who it's from? 26:59.957 --> 27:00.898 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, from which stone? 27:00.938 --> 27:02.160 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or do you have to sign off on it? 27:02.380 --> 27:03.682 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or, like, does it say... 27:03.982 --> 27:06.025 [Riv (DM)]: If you know the person, then you know who it is. 27:06.906 --> 27:08.328 [Riv (DM)]: If you don't know the person, then you won't. 27:10.050 --> 27:11.712 [JC (Ryo)]: Hey, don't we have, like, six of these stones? 27:11.813 --> 27:15.397 [JC (Ryo)]: Can't we just leave them as separate messages? 27:15.898 --> 27:18.942 [Lacer (Kai)]: That is a good point! 27:18.962 --> 27:19.643 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, I guess. 27:20.332 --> 27:21.914 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, you have a little box, right? 27:22.234 --> 27:23.976 [Riv (DM)]: And it's got a latch with a lid. 27:24.317 --> 27:32.706 [Riv (DM)]: If you pop open the lid, there's like these little compartments, these wooden compartments, and there's like one stone in each of them with like a little label for the intended destination. 27:33.727 --> 27:40.415 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe you could mess around with all of them, Valorant, and send six messages. 27:40.435 --> 27:40.495 [Lacer (Kai)]: DM. 27:40.515 --> 27:41.336 [JC (Ryo)]: That's my point. 27:41.356 --> 27:44.900 [JC (Ryo)]: If you need more words, we have extra stones. 27:45.340 --> 27:45.801 [JC (Ryo)]: That's true. 27:47.182 --> 27:47.723 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Good point. 27:48.800 --> 27:49.862 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think that was enough words. 27:50.663 --> 27:52.946 [Riv (DM)]: Awesome. 27:52.986 --> 28:07.128 [Riv (DM)]: So as you pick up the stone in your hand, when you start to focus on it, you see just a few sort of lines of purple magic start to crawl and spiral its way around it as you're speaking into it, and then just the weave sort of expands and disappears into nothingness. 28:07.990 --> 28:11.735 [Riv (DM)]: And the stone goes dim again, ready to be used on the next day. 28:11.775 --> 28:14.740 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty. 28:16.762 --> 28:20.626 [Riv (DM)]: You wait for a moment, but you don't get a message back. 28:24.729 --> 28:24.809 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 28:24.829 --> 28:28.413 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And I'm happy to camp the night here with the Stones. 28:29.914 --> 28:32.036 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We just went on a long mission in Fort Griffins and stuff. 28:32.136 --> 28:34.578 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I want to get drunk. 28:34.598 --> 28:34.919 [Riv (DM)]: True. 28:35.159 --> 28:37.341 [Riv (DM)]: And there are people around in the hall there. 28:37.381 --> 28:43.446 [Riv (DM)]: There are a few, you know, Griffins, you know, rough-looking guys and a few girls who are sitting around drinking. 28:43.466 --> 28:45.148 [Riv (DM)]: If you wanted to join in with a moment, you can. 28:45.702 --> 28:47.024 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Mm-hmm. 28:47.044 --> 28:52.654 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And take the time just to get a feel for the griffins because we haven't actually done, we've worked for them, we haven't done much with them. 28:54.277 --> 28:54.337 [Riv (DM)]: Mm. 28:54.357 --> 28:54.597 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 28:55.158 --> 29:00.768 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Get a general feel on what their mood is, what they think of what's going on, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 29:01.449 --> 29:01.990 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 29:02.273 --> 29:03.976 [Riv (DM)]: So you can meet there. 29:04.016 --> 29:07.142 [Riv (DM)]: There are two people if you'd like to go and introduce yourselves. 29:07.162 --> 29:08.705 [Riv (DM)]: There are two people over to the side. 29:10.208 --> 29:15.999 [Riv (DM)]: There's a halfling woman who looks sort of middle-aged who will introduce herself as Vera. 29:17.041 --> 29:18.564 [Riv (DM)]: Vera Loris. 29:18.604 --> 29:22.071 [Riv (DM)]: She's got sort of curly brown hair and a mischievous clinton in her eye. 29:22.051 --> 29:26.598 [Riv (DM)]: You'll learn that she is in charge of this branch's finances and supplies. 29:27.158 --> 29:32.306 [Riv (DM)]: Doesn't do so much of the outdoor adventuring work but more just manages the internal affairs. 29:32.947 --> 29:36.011 [Riv (DM)]: And Rina is a half-elf man. 29:37.694 --> 29:38.295 [Riv (DM)]: He's got a bow. 29:38.875 --> 29:44.444 [Riv (DM)]: He's known for scouting and ranging in jobs and so you can chat with them a bit. 29:46.667 --> 29:49.611 [Riv (DM)]: The general sentiment is 29:50.755 --> 29:54.320 [Riv (DM)]: Usually the Gryffins are quite independent from any sort of political movement. 29:54.340 --> 29:57.004 [Riv (DM)]: They just, they're there to do their work, right? 29:57.225 --> 29:58.487 [Riv (DM)]: They don't care one way or the other. 29:59.048 --> 30:02.693 [Riv (DM)]: But you can tell they have of late started to get quite frustrated with things. 30:02.773 --> 30:13.810 [Riv (DM)]: The Empire starting to meddle and make things more difficult for them in the sense of restricting the passage in and out of the city is bad for business and also 30:13.790 --> 30:33.792 [Riv (DM)]: They, I guess, are decent people and to see the citizens of the world start to, you know, get the foot stamped even tighter down upon them, they're definitely starting to feel a bit disgruntled about that and are, within the walls of the guild itself, happy to express their frustration. 30:36.134 --> 30:36.354 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 30:38.477 --> 30:38.717 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fair enough. 30:43.608 --> 30:44.069 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright. 30:44.850 --> 30:49.175 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If I was to scout, I'd probably say we're probably heading north soon. 30:49.195 --> 30:50.537 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Anything we should watch out going that way? 30:52.780 --> 30:53.080 [Riv (DM)]: North. 30:55.724 --> 31:03.674 [Riv (DM)]: Well, not much along the road until you get to the Darkwood, right? 31:04.155 --> 31:08.400 [Riv (DM)]: That town that just borders the Darkwood there. 31:11.047 --> 31:12.710 [Riv (DM)]: Old Lighthaven, right? 31:13.771 --> 31:15.253 [Riv (DM)]: Strange town, that place. 31:15.293 --> 31:16.615 [Riv (DM)]: Very standoffish folk. 31:17.697 --> 31:25.549 [Riv (DM)]: Probably just be a bit cautious to not express your sentiment too openly. 31:25.909 --> 31:29.375 [Riv (DM)]: You never know the allegiance of those people. 31:31.017 --> 31:35.904 [JC (Ryo)]: You don't know anyone over there, do you?

35:01.453 --> 35:02.054 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, no, no. 35:02.234 --> 35:02.735 [Riv (DM)]: Nat 20. 35:02.955 --> 35:05.799 [Riv (DM)]: I was rolling for the dude to see if he'd recognise it. 35:06.500 --> 35:07.522 [Lacer (Kai)]: I meant for the firebolt. 35:10.466 --> 35:11.307 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just looking at it. 35:11.788 --> 35:15.012 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar shoots a firebolt into the roof. 35:17.388 --> 35:21.394 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm guessing I'm noticing that you're recognizing it in some description. 35:22.055 --> 35:23.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I haven't cast it. 35:23.697 --> 35:23.798 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 35:23.818 --> 35:24.278 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Former member? 35:24.298 --> 35:27.063 [Unmatched Speaker]: I don't think so. 35:27.083 --> 35:34.193 [Riv (DM)]: It looks more like the sort of weapon that would be forged for royalty, to be honest. 35:37.038 --> 35:38.360 [Riv (DM)]: This V... 35:38.380 --> 35:45.370 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know who the current governor there is, but I wouldn't be surprised if... 35:47.020 --> 36:00.514 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, if it didn't actually come from, if not the castle itself, if one of the family members, see the designs here, and it points to some very specific etching and around the hilt. 36:02.496 --> 36:06.420 [Riv (DM)]: Your average adventurer or warrior wouldn't request something like this being built. 36:06.460 --> 36:11.705 [Riv (DM)]: It's clearly very intentionally designed with specific embellishments. 36:12.886 --> 36:16.470 [Riv (DM)]: This looks like it was made for someone royal or someone very important. 36:16.450 --> 36:23.058 [Riv (DM)]: Can't tell you exactly who but all the point, yeah, all the clues I'm looking at point to royalty. 36:24.660 --> 36:26.462 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Hmm. 36:26.482 --> 36:29.006 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Royalty ending up in a goblin cave is probably a weird one. 36:29.386 --> 36:30.287 [Riv (DM)]: That's very curious. 36:32.650 --> 36:35.353 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll keep a note on that when we end up up the way. 36:35.414 --> 36:38.998 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I might poke in the castle and see what people say. 36:39.670 --> 36:42.915 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how you play that one. 36:43.256 --> 36:49.386 [Riv (DM)]: Whether you'll whip it out and show everyone, or if you take the more subtle approach, but either way, very curious to hear how that goes. 36:51.128 --> 36:55.015 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Guess it depends on whether we need a job in the castle or not. 36:55.656 --> 36:56.177 [Riv (DM)]: True, true. 36:56.237 --> 36:59.322 [Riv (DM)]: There is a Green Griffin branch up there in Valeran, as far as I'm aware. 37:00.383 --> 37:01.205 [Riv (DM)]: They might be able to help you. 37:04.089 --> 37:05.712 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, I'm sure we'll end up there at some stage. 37:07.666 --> 37:08.567 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pretty certain information. 37:09.107 --> 37:09.668 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no worries. 37:11.009 --> 37:13.632 [Riv (DM)]: And he starts drinking from his mug again. 37:13.672 --> 37:18.397 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alrighty. 37:18.457 --> 37:22.922 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Trying to find where my journal is to make a note. 37:25.685 --> 37:27.567 [Riv (DM)]: So Dondar, who are you shooting your fireball at? 37:29.669 --> 37:31.130 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm not shooting it at anyone. 37:31.931 --> 37:32.892 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Good. 37:32.912 --> 37:35.715 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I was trying to get it into the chat. 37:38.024 --> 37:38.886 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, anyone else? 37:38.946 --> 37:40.068 [Riv (DM)]: What else are we doing tonight? 37:41.912 --> 37:43.035 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look at Erendor. 37:43.275 --> 37:46.241 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're gonna see your dad, right? 37:46.302 --> 37:47.103 [Lacer (Kai)]: Tonight, I think? 37:49.388 --> 37:49.789 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 37:51.338 --> 37:56.809 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially, I think it might be good to actually go and talk to the Ravens to see what the hell happened in the city. 37:56.829 --> 37:58.353 [Riv (DM)]: They might have more information, I would assume. 37:58.673 --> 38:01.219 [Riv (DM)]: If not them being the direct cause. 38:02.040 --> 38:03.764 [Riv (DM)]: Might head over there. 38:04.125 --> 38:05.768 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe not tonight, maybe tomorrow sometime. 38:06.009 --> 38:08.995 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, that's what I'm thinking. 38:10.638 --> 38:11.440 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 38:11.842 --> 38:22.456 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, Dondar, if you want to come, I'm going to head to the temple if it's dark enough, if it's sundown. 38:22.777 --> 38:24.159 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's a couple of hours before midnight. 38:24.179 --> 38:25.861 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, let's go. 38:27.663 --> 38:28.885 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, it's a couple of hours? 38:28.905 --> 38:30.327 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, okay, so it's night now already. 38:30.547 --> 38:30.747 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 38:31.488 --> 38:31.709 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 38:32.810 --> 38:38.678 [Riv (DM)]: You arrive in the city sort of in the middle to late afternoon and it takes a good couple of hours to get across the city. 38:39.239 --> 38:41.562 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just going to check my bag and see if I've got some rope. 38:45.271 --> 38:46.838 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah, I remember buying some more rope. 38:46.858 --> 38:47.240 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, sweet. 38:47.742 --> 38:51.538 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll pull out the...

Why don't you just roll me an intelligence check, beta 12, and if you beta 12 then you're smart enough to sort of measure it out in your mind. 48:47.664 --> 48:49.326 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, give me a sec. 48:49.346 --> 48:50.547 [Lacer (Kai)]: I will try and... 48:53.378 --> 48:54.861 [Lacer (Kai)]: Standard intelligence. 48:54.881 --> 48:56.784 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just d20 plus the int mod. 49:00.270 --> 49:00.991 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no problem. 49:01.913 --> 49:07.543 [Riv (DM)]: So you sort of just measured it out in your mind and just kind of considered that probably not quite big enough. 49:07.943 --> 49:09.987 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, what else would you like to do? 49:14.320 --> 49:18.785 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am considering... is there a door that heads outside from here? 49:19.185 --> 49:20.227 [Riv (DM)]: From the courtyard, no. 49:20.427 --> 49:21.188 [Riv (DM)]: Enclosed walls. 49:22.429 --> 49:25.453 [Riv (DM)]: If you want to get back out onto the main street, you want to go back through and out the main entrance. 49:27.054 --> 49:27.275 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 49:28.256 --> 49:30.438 [Lacer (Kai)]: Plan B, Dondar. 49:30.979 --> 49:36.565 [Lacer (Kai)]: We need to go back to the front door, and I'm going to turn into an elk instead. 49:38.587 --> 49:39.308 [Lacer (Kai)]: What? 49:40.370 --> 49:41.672 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's a big deer. 49:41.692 --> 49:41.912 [Lacer (Kai)]: A moose? 49:42.233 --> 49:43.014 [Lacer (Kai)]: A big deer. 49:43.315 --> 49:43.675 [Lacer (Kai)]: A moose. 49:43.695 --> 49:44.316 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, a moose. 49:44.497 --> 49:45.318 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can it fly? 49:45.338 --> 49:53.451 [Lacer (Kai)]: Unless...

01:06:35.596 --> 01:06:37.458 [Riv (DM)]: Your mount has been shot with arrows. 01:06:37.498 --> 01:06:40.481 [Riv (DM)]: You're barreling down the middle of a hostile city. 01:06:40.561 --> 01:06:42.143 [Riv (DM)]: What are you thinking, Dondar? 01:06:42.562 --> 01:06:44.925 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just remember you have reins of some sort. 01:06:45.045 --> 01:06:51.132 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm just thinking that how dumb the class system is, I can't heal you. 01:06:52.474 --> 01:06:54.035 [Riv (DM)]: This always was his life, dude, in every game. 01:06:54.576 --> 01:07:01.304 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean, I would probably... 01:07:04.387 --> 01:07:10.054 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'd probably yell to Kai to ditch into the river. 01:07:12.329 --> 01:07:12.870 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 01:07:13.510 --> 01:07:17.415 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: All you need to escape at this point and running into more soldiers isn't ideal. 01:07:18.757 --> 01:07:18.897 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So. 01:07:21.380 --> 01:07:22.341 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If you think you can swim. 01:07:23.202 --> 01:07:23.803 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, Kai. 01:07:24.604 --> 01:07:26.005 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Jump in the water maybe to get away?

01:07:48.418 --> 01:07:50.025 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, just jump over. 01:07:50.045 --> 01:07:51.130 [Lacer (Kai)]: I will roll whatever. 01:07:51.170 --> 01:07:52.174 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 01:07:52.762 --> 01:07:57.047 [Riv (DM)]: Well, before you get there, there are soldiers on this bridge. 01:07:57.968 --> 01:08:10.163 [Riv (DM)]: They are heavily guarding this bridge as it is the only passage across the river between the different sections of the city and hearing this loud commotion barreling their way towards them, a few of them pop out. 01:08:10.543 --> 01:08:20.355 [Riv (DM)]: There are in fact two soldiers up on top of the archways that sort of like go over as the main supports and they turn and they see this elk 01:08:20.335 --> 01:08:23.983 [Riv (DM)]: Bleeding with a dwarf on the back, running straight in their direction. 01:08:24.504 --> 01:08:27.731 [Riv (DM)]: They're not gonna ask questions, they're gonna fire at you, so we're gonna get another couple of shots. 01:08:28.052 --> 01:08:30.417 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: At this point... Can I fireball now? 01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:36.711 [Riv (DM)]: You tell me, dude. 01:08:36.731 --> 01:08:39.036 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: As soon as I see them see me, I want to fireball. 01:08:39.995 --> 01:08:46.048 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: However I can do the most damage to stop them from shooting at me. 01:08:50.939 --> 01:08:53.565 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How wide is the causeway? 01:08:53.815 --> 01:08:55.337 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so the causeway is quite large. 01:08:55.858 --> 01:09:02.309 [Riv (DM)]: The bridge itself, it's got one of those sort of like arched supports that run all the way along the length of it. 01:09:02.750 --> 01:09:10.322 [Riv (DM)]: And at each end are these sort of large stone pillars that form like the ends of the supports and then the archway goes between them. 01:09:10.302 --> 01:09:12.465 [Riv (DM)]: These guards are up on top of these pillars. 01:09:13.246 --> 01:09:16.591 [Riv (DM)]: There's a way that they can climb up a ladder and get there for a good vantage point. 01:09:17.111 --> 01:09:23.560 [Riv (DM)]: And so you might be able to hit one of them, but they are separated across on either side of the bridge. 01:09:24.261 --> 01:09:32.253 [Riv (DM)]: As you're barrelling towards them, I probably actually need a perception check for you to see them because rain is splashing in your eyes. 01:09:32.913 --> 01:09:34.636 [Riv (DM)]: You're moving extremely fast. 01:09:34.656 --> 01:09:37.660 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, they can see the elk being shot in the dark. 01:09:37.825 --> 01:09:39.527 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, I mean, there's... 01:09:39.707 --> 01:09:44.051 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But dwarf being the dwarf of darkvision can't see them. 01:09:44.852 --> 01:09:56.604 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, if you imagine, right, you're like moving extremely fast down the road, rain is like blasting you in the eyes, you're like adrenaline, and there just happens to be two guys up on top of this bridge, like way up, you know, 20, 30 feet up in the air. 01:09:57.245 --> 01:09:59.907 [Riv (DM)]: You might be able to see them, you might not be able to, but it's going to be a roll. 01:10:01.049 --> 01:10:03.871 [Riv (DM)]: Because like, why would you look up there to spot them necessarily? 01:10:04.712 --> 01:10:05.453 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's where we're coming at. 01:10:05.770 --> 01:10:08.034 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The bridge that we can see from a long time far away? 01:10:09.296 --> 01:10:09.897 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I guess so. 01:10:10.237 --> 01:10:12.781 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see if the perception check lets you spot it. 01:10:13.402 --> 01:10:14.945 [Riv (DM)]: Do they have spot lights? 01:10:15.045 --> 01:10:17.569 [Riv (DM)]: Do they have flames? 01:10:17.769 --> 01:10:19.532 [Riv (DM)]: No, they wouldn't be carrying torches up there. 01:10:20.173 --> 01:10:21.595 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, 13's fine. 01:10:21.776 --> 01:10:24.801 [Riv (DM)]: So, there are two guards up there, and they're going to be taking shots. 01:10:25.602 --> 01:10:28.867 [Riv (DM)]: And do you want them to fire a firebolt or a fireball at one of them? 01:10:29.468 --> 01:10:29.769 [Riv (DM)]: Fireball. 01:10:30.169 --> 01:10:30.630 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 01:10:32.956 --> 01:10:45.061 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So these were more or less... My intent is to destroy one of the pillars, and ideally crash it into the other, but you know. 01:10:45.081 --> 01:10:49.290 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so as in you don't want to hit the dude on top, you want to like destroy the support of the bridge itself? 01:10:49.510 --> 01:10:52.416 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well I... well not the 01:10:52.953 --> 01:10:54.295 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, what kind of a bridge are we talking? 01:10:54.315 --> 01:11:00.084 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You're just making it sound like there's two stone pillars on the ground level and then the bridge extends out from that. 01:11:00.224 --> 01:11:01.526 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, let's do some drawing. 01:11:01.566 --> 01:11:07.915 [Riv (DM)]: So, we've got the bridge like this, you've got these big things like that, and then you've got this sort of thing. 01:11:11.220 --> 01:11:13.123 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh wow, that's advanced engineering. 01:11:13.684 --> 01:11:15.267 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so these guys are like this. 01:11:15.287 --> 01:11:17.430 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Wait, are we...

01:22:19.087 --> 01:22:23.332 [Lacer (Kai)]: Since we are swimming, are we like sort of like prone in the water? 01:22:25.074 --> 01:22:26.456 [Riv (DM)]: No, I don't think it counts like that. 01:22:27.277 --> 01:22:28.999 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think you can be prone in water, eh?

01:22:38.913 --> 01:22:45.145 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: From the point of view of the elk, is its body underwater and its head out? 01:22:49.092 --> 01:22:52.118 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, it's night time, so they have limited view range, don't they? 01:22:53.195 --> 01:22:58.481 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's dark and the water is dark as well, right? 01:22:58.641 --> 01:23:01.605 [Lacer (Kai)]: And it's raining and I'm grey. 01:23:01.645 --> 01:23:06.630 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm still surprised they could hit you twice in the first place with that. 01:23:07.031 --> 01:23:17.903 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, we're getting close to the bridge but now that we're in dark water and I'm camouflaged somewhat and we're in darkness and it's night and it's raining. 01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:20.340 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, you know what? 01:23:21.141 --> 01:23:29.852 [Riv (DM)]: So there aren't any rules that say anything about being prone but the fact that you're lying horizontally I don't see why there'll be any differences if you're on a solid surface or under the water. 01:23:30.453 --> 01:23:40.765 [Riv (DM)]: So I'm happy for that to give disadvantage on attacks and plus as you rightly pointed out it is dark and these guys are just normal people so they won't have darkvision so attacks at disadvantage. 01:23:43.088 --> 01:23:47.053 [Riv (DM)]: On the Elk. 01:23:47.073 --> 01:23:47.734 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 01:23:47.754 --> 01:23:48.615 [Riv (DM)]: On the Dwarf. 01:23:50.688 --> 01:23:51.649 [Riv (DM)]: Oof. 01:23:51.669 --> 01:23:54.793 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, and... Another one back on the Elk. 01:23:57.697 --> 01:23:58.018 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:23:58.418 --> 01:23:59.740 [Riv (DM)]: Oh wait, 10 hits. 01:23:59.760 --> 01:24:00.501 [Riv (DM)]: 10 might hurt? 01:24:01.122 --> 01:24:01.562 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:24:01.582 --> 01:24:05.868 [Riv (DM)]: So you pop back into your form and you take this minus 1. 01:24:07.169 --> 01:24:08.792 [Riv (DM)]: So you take 7 damage to your main form. 01:24:09.933 --> 01:24:17.623 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, you guys are now about, shall we say, a third of the way across the river and you guys can take some actions if you like. 01:24:21.130 --> 01:24:23.373 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um... 01:24:23.393 --> 01:24:26.338 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So, don't... Fire's human, alright? 01:24:26.358 --> 01:24:26.678 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:24:26.698 --> 01:24:27.960 [Riv (DM)]: He just bursts back into his form. 01:24:27.980 --> 01:24:32.387 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, how hurt are you? 01:24:32.407 --> 01:24:32.927 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm okay. 01:24:33.829 --> 01:24:35.231 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, I only took a graze. 01:24:35.511 --> 01:24:36.192 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not too bad. 01:24:37.915 --> 01:24:39.837 [Lacer (Kai)]: Except I've got arrows sticking out of my butt. 01:24:41.380 --> 01:24:42.261 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Are they still in your butt? 01:24:42.764 --> 01:24:45.928 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How did the transformation deal with the arrows? 01:24:47.370 --> 01:24:50.634 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, if they were in my elk butt, they'd be in my human butt, right? 01:24:51.716 --> 01:24:53.218 [Riv (DM)]: It gets complicated, I guess. 01:24:53.418 --> 01:24:55.761 [Riv (DM)]: We'll say the last one that hit you is still sticking into your shoulder. 01:25:01.208 --> 01:25:03.972 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I've got an arrow sticking out of my shoulder, but I'm okay. 01:25:04.072 --> 01:25:04.232 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:25:05.360 --> 01:25:08.847 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And my rope that was attached to your antlers is... 01:25:09.428 --> 01:25:12.755 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's probably all... Yeah, I've shrunken, actually, so... 01:25:13.477 --> 01:25:15.120 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm medium now, so... 01:25:15.200 --> 01:25:24.400 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm human-sized, so it's just like a weird sort of loose tangle that I can supposedly get out of since I'm in water. 01:25:25.442 --> 01:25:25.562 [Riv (DM)]: I see. 01:25:25.542 --> 01:25:26.504 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, what are we doing guys? 01:25:27.285 --> 01:25:29.610 [Riv (DM)]: Gotta make a decision, otherwise more arrows are coming your way. 01:25:29.890 --> 01:25:32.575 [Lacer (Kai)]: I dive into the water. 01:25:32.635 --> 01:25:36.362 [Lacer (Kai)]: Into the darkness of the water, and let the current take me. 01:25:36.683 --> 01:25:37.003 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:25:37.084 --> 01:25:38.787 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, I'm following underwater. 01:25:38.807 --> 01:25:40.089 [Riv (DM)]: So you're blasting down underwater, great. 01:25:40.129 --> 01:25:42.454 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I think, in this case... 01:25:46.201 --> 01:25:49.086 [Riv (DM)]: The... Hmm... 01:25:51.209 --> 01:26:12.953 [Riv (DM)]: I think they'll get one more round of shots because the underwater rules for arrows mean that you can't actually hit beyond your maximum distance but you have disadvantage beyond your normal distance so because you've just dived I will give them another round of shots but after that you're basically gonna be gone so this is on Kai. 01:26:14.394 --> 01:26:16.997 [Riv (DM)]: Ah sorry that was normal let me do once more for disadvantage. 01:26:21.517 --> 01:26:22.479 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, hits. 01:26:22.740 --> 01:26:23.882 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, one hit on Kai. 01:26:25.225 --> 01:26:26.007 [Riv (DM)]: This one's on the dwarf. 01:26:27.430 --> 01:26:29.875 [Riv (DM)]: A miss, and then probably another one on the dwarf. 01:26:34.364 --> 01:26:35.326 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 01:26:35.346 --> 01:26:41.820 [Riv (DM)]: So one bolt manages to just hit and splash down through the water and hit you again, Kai, for... 01:26:43.994 --> 01:26:44.615 [Riv (DM)]: Three damage. 01:26:45.157 --> 01:26:49.867 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, but now you guys are deep beneath the water and blasting across. 01:26:50.088 --> 01:26:53.736 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar starts rocketing ahead of Kai with his mariner's armor, speeding him forwards. 01:26:54.497 --> 01:26:56.321 [Riv (DM)]: You're now two-thirds of the way across the river. 01:26:56.802 --> 01:26:58.847 [Riv (DM)]: Any actions you guys want to take at this point? 01:27:00.329 --> 01:27:06.555 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes, while I'm swimming, um, I see 30 feet in front of me, and I misty step underwater. 01:27:07.857 --> 01:27:08.297 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm, alright. 01:27:08.717 --> 01:27:13.662 [Riv (DM)]: So Dondar's just starting to pull ahead of you, and then kind of vanishes and just appears right beside Dondar again. 01:27:14.683 --> 01:27:15.124 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 01:27:15.144 --> 01:27:17.286 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why didn't you misty step out of the water? 01:27:18.587 --> 01:27:19.168 [Lacer (Kai)]: Where to? 01:27:19.208 --> 01:27:22.511 [Lacer (Kai)]: This river is like, giant. 01:27:22.932 --> 01:27:23.773 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:27:23.793 --> 01:27:24.974 [Lacer (Kai)]: So you're going diagonally. 01:27:26.235 --> 01:27:28.277 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You can see the other side of the river. 01:27:28.645 --> 01:27:32.509 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, the river is further than 30 feet, I'm pretty sure. 01:27:32.549 --> 01:27:32.890 [Lacer (Kai)]: What? 01:27:33.270 --> 01:27:34.532 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Misty Step's got a range. 01:27:35.933 --> 01:27:36.814 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How wide's the river? 01:27:37.255 --> 01:27:38.256 [Riv (DM)]: It's like 300 or 400 feet wide. 01:27:39.417 --> 01:27:40.118 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Holy shit! 01:27:40.799 --> 01:27:41.340 [Riv (DM)]: Big river, dude. 01:27:41.360 --> 01:27:44.723 [Riv (DM)]: This is the main river that cuts the continent. 01:27:45.104 --> 01:27:47.627 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: This was not known to me when I jumped in. 01:27:49.589 --> 01:27:51.491 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep, well, um... 01:27:51.511 --> 01:27:52.793 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 01:27:52.813 --> 01:27:54.995 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh wait, yeah, I use that as my ability. 01:27:55.235 --> 01:27:57.658 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't need a spell, so I can cast it once with that ability. 01:27:57.698 --> 01:27:58.399 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:27:59.678 --> 01:28:01.842 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hold on, let me just refund my spell slot. 01:28:02.403 --> 01:28:06.029 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's your, um...

Yeah. 01:28:13.262 --> 01:28:14.223 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: No way they can catch up. 01:28:15.105 --> 01:28:18.531 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What, uh, what, what direction would the temple happen to be in? 01:28:18.832 --> 01:28:20.014 [Riv (DM)]: The other direction, unfortunately. 01:28:20.515 --> 01:28:21.757 [Riv (DM)]: What the hell? 01:28:22.839 --> 01:28:26.005 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, well, I mean, let me just sort of sketch the map for you guys again. 01:28:26.927 --> 01:28:30.654 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was trying to run the closest route to the temple. 01:28:30.674 --> 01:28:32.738 [Lacer (Kai)]: I felt like we were getting further away. 01:28:32.778 --> 01:28:33.840 [Lacer (Kai)]: We are definitely getting further away. 01:28:34.641 --> 01:28:39.490 [Riv (DM)]: So, if this is the... We're gonna have to go stay with Lenny. 01:28:39.537 --> 01:28:44.707 [Riv (DM)]: If this is the main city walls, there's the big river that comes down the middle. 01:28:45.769 --> 01:28:46.531 [Riv (DM)]: Bridges like here. 01:28:48.374 --> 01:28:55.528 [Riv (DM)]: Bastion, the keep, this is the temple, and this is the theatre. 01:28:56.089 --> 01:28:59.055 [Riv (DM)]: And these are the main north-south ways. 01:28:59.596 --> 01:29:00.718 [Riv (DM)]: Well, not north-south, but you know. 01:29:00.698 --> 01:29:05.186 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, so we only had to cross this bridge and then turn left and we're going downriver. 01:29:05.566 --> 01:29:09.633 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you would have had to go further along the causeway a little bit, quite far, like sort of 30 minutes or so. 01:29:09.773 --> 01:29:15.202 [Riv (DM)]: Like, big ass, it's 30 minutes between each of these, between each of these. 01:29:15.883 --> 01:29:17.206 [Unmatched Speaker]: And only one bridge? 01:29:18.167 --> 01:29:18.568 [Riv (DM)]: I'm not buying it. 01:29:18.588 --> 01:29:19.309 [Riv (DM)]: One big main bridge, yeah. 01:29:19.710 --> 01:29:20.231 [Riv (DM)]: So there are... 01:29:20.251 --> 01:29:22.234 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The congestion must be amazing. 01:29:22.855 --> 01:29:46.078 [Riv (DM)]: Well it's it's a massive bridge right it's it's like 40 or so feet wide 40 50 feet wide um like sort of width-wise of the bridge and to get across the river they're not building multiple bridges spanning 400 400 um feet wide across the river there are little um little ferries that you could jump on during the day that will people sort of like fish people sorry ferry people can we see any of those little ferries along the river 01:29:46.058 --> 01:30:09.788 [Riv (DM)]: Well yeah so we'll see obviously there won't be any running at this point because it's like midnight however um as you're starting to float down the river you do see up ahead of you there is a little jetty on this side of the river um shall we say 100 feet down so as you're sort of angling across you want to just keep rocketing down the water um which is potentially a good thing because you don't want the guards to be able to catch up to you on the other side 01:30:10.358 --> 01:30:13.341 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But we're still within crossbow range, assuming we could be seen, right? 01:30:13.361 --> 01:30:14.963 [Riv (DM)]: At this point, we're out. 01:30:14.983 --> 01:30:18.167 [Riv (DM)]: So if you get across to the other side of the river, then you'll come back into range. 01:30:19.168 --> 01:30:20.810 [Riv (DM)]: But at this point, you're out of range of the bridge now. 01:30:23.073 --> 01:30:23.253 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What? 01:30:24.675 --> 01:30:28.399 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You said it's like 300 or 400 feet wide, but we've only come 100 feet. 01:30:28.419 --> 01:30:33.665 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, we were swimming and we were dashing underwater. 01:30:33.725 --> 01:30:35.387 [Riv (DM)]: You're swimming down the river this way. 01:30:35.485 --> 01:30:38.992 [Lacer (Kai)]: And we're going with the current, so it's giving us extra movement speed. 01:30:39.493 --> 01:30:40.054 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does that make sense? 01:30:40.555 --> 01:30:44.684 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So we're more than 400 meters away, feet away from the bridge. 01:30:44.744 --> 01:30:45.065 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Correct. 01:30:45.245 --> 01:30:45.926 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 01:30:45.946 --> 01:30:46.848 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 01:30:46.868 --> 01:30:49.514 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That, yes, that's what I wanted to know. 01:30:49.534 --> 01:30:49.734 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Thank you. 01:30:49.754 --> 01:30:49.934 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 01:30:49.954 --> 01:30:52.339 [Riv (DM)]: So, up ahead of you, you do see a jetty. 01:30:54.664 --> 01:30:56.127 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Let's go meet this jetty. 01:30:57.457 --> 01:30:57.737 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yes. 01:30:58.118 --> 01:30:59.239 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Maybe she'll be kind to us. 01:31:00.301 --> 01:31:01.442 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Maybe there'll be guards on it. 01:31:01.923 --> 01:31:02.944 [Riv (DM)]: Well, we'll see. 01:31:03.265 --> 01:31:06.028 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And I will die in a blaze of fire. 01:31:06.209 --> 01:31:06.329 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:31:06.970 --> 01:31:13.719 [Riv (DM)]: And there is like one of those little ladders that just pops down into water to allow fishermen and workers to get into the water and out if they have to. 01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:18.585 [Riv (DM)]: So you can pull yourselves up easily enough up onto the jetty and take stock of yourselves. 01:31:20.147 --> 01:31:21.209 [Riv (DM)]: Let's take a break here, eh? 01:31:22.050 --> 01:31:23.772 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:31:24.673 --> 01:31:25.354 [Lacer (Kai)]: I need a drink. 01:31:25.334 --> 01:31:31.484 [Riv (DM)]: Yep that was um that was full on and um and we'll um yeah we'll see what happens after that. 01:31:31.984 --> 01:31:38.895 [Riv (DM)]: It's going to be some rolls to see if the guards catch up to you or not but hey I love a bit of chaos eh? 01:31:39.656 --> 01:31:41.139 [JC (Ryo)]: Damn that was kind of amazing. 01:31:42.881 --> 01:31:43.803 [JC (Ryo)]: So just a second. 01:31:47.308 --> 01:31:47.529 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 01:31:48.350 --> 01:31:49.772 [JC (Ryo)]: Hey Riv can we backtrack a bit? 01:31:49.988 --> 01:32:02.748 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, yeah, so back in the beautiful warmth of the Green Griffins, you guys find yourselves sitting around the table with Rina and Vera, um, with a mug of ale, discussing whatever you like. 01:32:04.150 --> 01:32:04.992 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, no, no, I don't drink. 01:32:06.033 --> 01:32:06.534 [JC (Ryo)]: Mug of water. 01:32:06.895 --> 01:32:15.808 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, did you say there was a...

Activate my Twilight Sanctuary. 02:50:29.487 --> 02:50:31.531 [Riv (DM)]: You mean your starry form, right? 02:50:32.353 --> 02:50:36.541 [Riv (DM)]: Doesn't... does Twilight Sanctuary do... don't I glow as well with that? 02:50:36.942 --> 02:50:37.263 [Riv (DM)]: I'm not sure. 02:50:37.583 --> 02:50:39.507 [Riv (DM)]: It might be part of the starry form. 02:50:39.627 --> 02:50:44.878 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, you can say that you do it that way if you like. 02:50:44.958 --> 02:50:48.846 [Riv (DM)]: I just thought that you might need to blast a wild shape for it technically. 02:50:49.282 --> 02:50:49.763 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can. 02:50:50.204 --> 02:50:51.145 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have two Wild Shapes. 02:50:51.826 --> 02:50:55.132 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've already spent one, so... Yeah, if you want me to go into... 02:50:55.312 --> 02:50:58.517 [Lacer (Kai)]: I will go into the... what is it? 02:50:58.958 --> 02:51:00.661 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'll go into the Chalice Starry Form. 02:51:00.761 --> 02:51:01.182 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's fine. 02:51:01.743 --> 02:51:04.107 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll have no more Wild Shapes unless I rest. 02:51:04.367 --> 02:51:05.189 [Lacer (Kai)]: A short rest. 02:51:05.209 --> 02:51:06.270 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 02:51:06.290 --> 02:51:13.402 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So the Starry Form is... Dondar takes out his... Dondar takes out his stool and sits down with a sigh, muttering. 02:51:13.563 --> 02:51:14.865 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He always does this. 02:51:14.885 --> 02:51:14.985 Yeah. 02:51:16.147 --> 02:51:25.720 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, having been seeing this many times before, the stars first start to roll up from your hands from the symbol, spread and stretch up. 02:51:26.280 --> 02:51:30.886 [Riv (DM)]: You probably will have to like pull back your cloaks or you know something to show. 02:51:30.906 --> 02:51:32.128 [Riv (DM)]: DM Like gloves? 02:51:32.328 --> 02:51:39.117 [Riv (DM)]: DM Yeah like maybe like pull off one of your shoulders or something like that and expose your chest because otherwise everything will be all cooped up. 02:51:39.097 --> 02:51:39.898 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:51:39.918 --> 02:51:45.288 [Riv (DM)]: But the, yeah, the symbols and the lines connecting these stars sort of gather all over your body. 02:51:45.609 --> 02:51:48.674 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them start to come up onto your face a little bit, one in the middle of your forehead. 02:51:51.620 --> 02:51:55.888 [Riv (DM)]: Half of them on one half of your body are black and the other half are light. 02:51:56.789 --> 02:52:01.017 [Riv (DM)]: He, Aldia, steps forward and has a look and reaches out a hand just like that. 02:52:01.037 --> 02:52:01.678 [Riv (DM)]: Do you mind? 02:52:02.924 --> 02:52:06.608 [Riv (DM)]: I don't mind, as long as you don't do any funny stuff. 02:52:06.809 --> 02:52:13.436 [Riv (DM)]: Of course, I just want to see any, um, just pulls, um, you know, just expose your chest a little bit to see over the other side. 02:52:14.137 --> 02:52:19.023 [Riv (DM)]: Currently, the black stars are consuming more than half of your body. 02:52:19.183 --> 02:52:23.008 [Riv (DM)]: They're starting to stretch down your other shoulder and down the other side. 02:52:24.229 --> 02:52:25.651 [Riv (DM)]: And he steps back and just shakes his head. 02:52:28.254 --> 02:52:28.334 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:52:28.354 --> 02:52:31.598 [Riv (DM)]: Young man, we spoke about this. 02:52:33.029 --> 02:52:38.001 [Riv (DM)]: It appears that you've been following the other one's instructions. 02:52:40.006 --> 02:52:44.237 [Riv (DM)]: How can I trust you if you are starting to walk in the path of darkness? 02:52:46.023 --> 02:52:47.945 [Riv (DM)]: What is darkness without light? 02:52:49.027 --> 02:52:51.870 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed, and so therefore you should walk the path of light. 02:52:53.172 --> 02:53:05.668 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am trying, but the Empire does not allow us to, which is why we need to cast this ceremony tonight to empower your clerics. 02:53:06.509 --> 02:53:19.707 [Lacer (Kai)]: In the power of the moonlight, it is a full moon, or close to a full moon tonight, so I'm sure, with great certainty, that the true goddess shall appear. 02:53:19.748 --> 02:53:25.255 [Riv (DM)]: Make no mistake, they are both as true as each other. 02:53:26.277 --> 02:53:33.006 [Riv (DM)]: Just as you are standing here before me, they are both as true, as evidenced by what we see in front of us. 02:53:38.133 --> 02:53:46.332 [Riv (DM)]: You ask for something impossible, and this brings me no confidence in your true intentions. 02:53:47.053 --> 02:53:50.301 [Riv (DM)]: The stars explain themselves on your very body. 02:53:51.223 --> 02:53:52.907 [Riv (DM)]: You talk about the darkness of the Empire. 02:53:53.548 --> 02:53:57.036 [Riv (DM)]: We don't fight back against darkness with more darkness? 02:53:57.826 --> 02:54:01.650 [Riv (DM)]: We need to fight back with redemption and healing. 02:54:02.331 --> 02:54:03.812 [Riv (DM)]: That is the true path of Saluna. 02:54:04.513 --> 02:54:07.476 [Riv (DM)]: And he says that word, he almost like chokes himself. 02:54:09.839 --> 02:54:14.463 [Riv (DM)]: It's heresy for the high priests of the chapel to speak of one of the other gods. 02:54:16.566 --> 02:54:17.527 [Riv (DM)]: But nonetheless, he carries on. 02:54:18.327 --> 02:54:24.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, if you want redemption, you should redeem yourself in front of the true gods. 02:54:26.952 --> 02:54:27.613 [Lacer (Kai)]: See all this? 02:54:27.653 --> 02:54:29.136 [Lacer (Kai)]: I point to all these statues. 02:54:29.536 --> 02:54:30.518 [Lacer (Kai)]: All these false gods. 02:54:30.979 --> 02:54:32.041 [Lacer (Kai)]: How can you live like this? 02:54:32.542 --> 02:54:33.103 [Lacer (Kai)]: All this time? 02:54:34.866 --> 02:54:35.427 [Riv (DM)]: Young man. 02:54:37.290 --> 02:54:42.198 [Riv (DM)]: You're very bold to come here and assume to know anything about my relationship with the gods. 02:54:43.421 --> 02:54:44.723 [Riv (DM)]: You think these are false gods? 02:54:45.965 --> 02:54:48.910 [Riv (DM)]: How do the people who worship them get their power if they're false? 02:54:49.632 --> 02:54:52.495 [Lacer (Kai)]: From the true gods that they once worshipped. 02:54:53.335 --> 02:54:55.557 [Riv (DM)]: So you don't think these are real? 02:54:55.597 --> 02:54:56.919 [Riv (DM)]: You don't think they exist at all? 02:54:58.080 --> 02:54:58.660 [Lacer (Kai)]: They exist. 02:54:59.000 --> 02:55:01.583 [Lacer (Kai)]: You could call them more so lesser gods. 02:55:07.208 --> 02:55:09.570 [Riv (DM)]: I do hope one day you meet one of these lesser gods. 02:55:10.771 --> 02:55:14.254 [Riv (DM)]: And, well, that would be an interesting conversation. 02:55:18.117 --> 02:55:18.778 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 02:55:22.150 --> 02:55:27.296 [Riv (DM)]: Look, what you asked for is wholly impossible, I'm afraid, given your current state. 02:55:27.696 --> 02:55:31.080 [Riv (DM)]: However, I will give you a chance at redemption, funnily enough. 02:55:33.062 --> 02:55:37.767 [Riv (DM)]: Have you been informed of Saluna's path? 02:55:37.787 --> 02:55:38.909 [Riv (DM)]: Has she spoken to you of this yet? 02:55:40.571 --> 02:55:40.951 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not yet. 02:55:41.011 --> 02:55:46.137 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've been busy doing some missions with the Green Griffin. 02:55:46.717 --> 02:55:49.120 [Lacer (Kai)]: She has not appeared to me for a while now. 02:55:49.927 --> 02:55:52.070 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you might question why that is the case. 02:55:53.733 --> 02:55:54.173 [Riv (DM)]: But anyway. 02:55:56.397 --> 02:55:57.558 [Riv (DM)]: If... 02:55:57.578 --> 02:56:04.429 [Riv (DM)]: If what is happening is what I believe is happening, then I do believe indeed you are Selurna's Chosen. 02:56:05.470 --> 02:56:06.031 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially. 02:56:06.832 --> 02:56:08.334 [Riv (DM)]: Of course there is this other complication. 02:56:08.394 --> 02:56:18.229 [Riv (DM)]: Her sister appears to have gotten her claws into you and be causing some mischief, trying to steer you in a different direction, but 02:56:19.964 --> 02:56:29.433 [Riv (DM)]: The Path of the Chosen is one that is laid out in the history books that only people like myself and others high in the order are aware of. 02:56:30.014 --> 02:56:34.438 [Riv (DM)]: When we last spoke I dug up one of such books and did a bit of research. 02:56:37.301 --> 02:56:42.926 [Riv (DM)]: The Path of Seluna is as follows, if you don't mind me explaining. 02:56:44.248 --> 02:56:46.630 [Riv (DM)]: And he kind of looks up and tries to recall for a moment. 02:56:49.040 --> 02:56:58.864 [Riv (DM)]: When great evil gathers in the world, Saluna will choose a mortal to help swing the balance of light and shadow, bestowing upon them great power. 02:56:59.215 --> 02:57:03.621 [Riv (DM)]: Selunas Chosen must wander the world and bring redemption to those that have fallen to darkness. 02:57:04.742 --> 02:57:08.627 [Riv (DM)]: Selunas Chosen must wander the world and heal those who have fallen to illness and pain. 02:57:09.648 --> 02:57:13.573 [Riv (DM)]: Selunas Chosen must wander the world and leave light and hope in their path. 02:57:14.635 --> 02:57:20.062 [Riv (DM)]: Then, gather the three stones of the moon and the Celestial Cavern will reveal itself. 02:57:21.544 --> 02:57:24.868 [Riv (DM)]: Selunas Chosen will enter and her champion will emerge. 02:57:29.708 --> 02:57:33.716 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well... 02:57:33.736 --> 02:57:43.115 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess two-thirds of this thing has almost been completed and I put my hand into my pack and I pull out a moonstone. 02:57:44.939 --> 02:57:48.426 [Lacer (Kai)]: He startles visibly. 02:57:49.790 --> 02:57:50.651 [Riv (DM)]: Unbelievable. 02:57:50.791 --> 02:57:51.672 [Riv (DM)]: So it is true. 02:57:52.794 --> 02:57:53.374 [Riv (DM)]: You must be. 02:57:53.534 --> 02:57:56.898 [Riv (DM)]: This is both terrifying and exciting at the same time. 02:57:57.659 --> 02:57:59.181 [Riv (DM)]: This... oh goodness. 02:57:59.822 --> 02:58:02.064 [Riv (DM)]: He puts a hand up to the wall to steady himself. 02:58:03.066 --> 02:58:06.510 [Riv (DM)]: Times must indeed be even darker than I imagined. 02:58:06.830 --> 02:58:10.595 [Riv (DM)]: There must be great evil at the moment that potentially none of us are even aware of. 02:58:12.637 --> 02:58:13.318 [Riv (DM)]: Do you mind? 02:58:13.938 --> 02:58:16.101 [Riv (DM)]: He reaches out to inspect the stone. 02:58:17.684 --> 02:58:20.408 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, I pass it to him, gently. 02:58:21.730 --> 02:58:25.014 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he just holds it up and rolls it over in his hand a few times and looks at it. 02:58:26.637 --> 02:58:27.197 [Riv (DM)]: Fascinating. 02:58:28.039 --> 02:58:29.581 [Riv (DM)]: And this just came to you? 02:58:31.083 --> 02:58:32.725 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes, it just came to me. 02:58:32.765 --> 02:58:40.156 [Lacer (Kai)]: Once I obtained it, I think around about that time is when Soluna came to me in a vision. 02:58:41.738 --> 02:58:41.818 Hmm. 02:58:43.807 --> 02:58:45.148 [Riv (DM)]: There may still be hope yet then. 02:58:45.208 --> 02:58:49.013 [Riv (DM)]: She apparently hasn't given up on you just yet. 02:58:50.354 --> 02:58:53.157 [Riv (DM)]: And so therefore, I will not either. 02:58:57.041 --> 02:59:11.957 [Riv (DM)]: Return to me when you have walked the light, when you have walked her path, and this, he gestures to the stars on your chest, and this is brighter, and 02:59:13.473 --> 02:59:27.629 [Riv (DM)]: We can talk about your potential attempts at heresy, but tonight I cannot abide by such things, especially given what's going on. 02:59:29.431 --> 02:59:33.996 [Riv (DM)]: I couldn't even begin to imagine what one of the soldiers would do were they to come across such a thing. 02:59:36.800 --> 02:59:38.822 [Riv (DM)]: But, as I said, walk the path. 02:59:40.034 --> 02:59:51.592 [Riv (DM)]: Allow her to guide you, help those around you, and I believe you will be able to shake off the darkness of the Dark Sisters hold on you. 02:59:51.612 --> 02:59:56.801 [Riv (DM)]: I will try. 02:59:56.841 --> 02:59:59.966 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 03:00:00.827 --> 03:00:01.468 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I... 03:00:02.984 --> 03:00:09.119 [Riv (DM)]: I can't say that I'm not excited, but this is also grave news. 03:00:09.941 --> 03:00:12.628 [Riv (DM)]: Keep your ears and eyes open as you travel the land. 03:00:13.811 --> 03:00:17.500 [Riv (DM)]: There must be great evil, greater even potentially than the Empire itself. 03:00:20.922 --> 03:00:23.124 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm not too certain about that. 03:00:23.545 --> 03:00:28.611 [Lacer (Kai)]: The empress that rules this empire seems to never age. 03:00:29.952 --> 03:00:44.989 [Lacer (Kai)]: So she may be either aiding the Great Darkness or is the Great Darkness scourging this land. 03:00:44.969 --> 03:00:46.712 [Riv (DM)]: Some of us have wondered about her. 03:00:47.213 --> 03:00:52.824 [Riv (DM)]: Is she some magics or maybe she's some descendant of Elvenkind? 03:00:54.026 --> 03:00:57.733 [Riv (DM)]: It's tough to tell, but indeed that is a curious one. 03:00:59.256 --> 03:01:00.177 [Riv (DM)]: Never met her personally. 03:01:01.059 --> 03:01:05.948 [Riv (DM)]: She hasn't found time to come this part of the land very often. 03:01:08.510 --> 03:01:08.991 [Riv (DM)]: But anyway. 03:01:10.573 --> 03:01:10.973 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, boy. 03:01:13.157 --> 03:01:17.763 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I guess, would you like to stay the rest of the night here in the temple? 03:01:19.886 --> 03:01:20.166 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 03:01:20.327 --> 03:01:24.533 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine you had a bit of an ordeal getting across the city tonight. 03:01:25.674 --> 03:01:29.880 [Riv (DM)]: It was sure difficult getting here. 03:01:29.900 --> 03:01:30.761 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, alright. 03:01:30.781 --> 03:01:31.242 [Riv (DM)]: Very well. 03:01:31.342 --> 03:01:31.923 [Riv (DM)]: Well, follow me. 03:01:31.983 --> 03:01:33.004 [Riv (DM)]: I'll show you to some quarters. 03:01:34.286 --> 03:01:36.930 [Riv (DM)]: And he starts wandering on down the hallway. 03:01:42.428 --> 03:01:45.972 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, and we follow him and retire for the night. 03:01:46.673 --> 03:01:46.893 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 03:01:47.835 --> 03:01:52.861 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, anything you would like to do that evening before going to sleep? 03:01:55.484 --> 03:01:56.966 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm dead beat, I just want to sleep. 03:01:58.067 --> 03:01:58.167 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:01:59.028 --> 03:02:07.699 [Riv (DM)]: You find rudimentary beds in a shared chamber that there are already a few other clerics sleeping in, and you can rest. 03:02:10.482 --> 03:02:12.064 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, and the storm blows over. 03:02:13.850 --> 03:02:18.656 [Riv (DM)]: You hear the rain start to stop over the night and morning will dawn. 03:02:24.203 --> 03:02:37.039 [Riv (DM)]: That feels like a reasonable time to break unless Vael and Rio, would you guys like to do anything in the morning first thing or would you like to just pick that up next time?
