A heroic plan. 11:59.680 --> 12:06.790 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, an incredible plan to go out and make a voyage to the temple, and were stopped by one of the... 12:06.770 --> 12:10.319 [Riv (DM)]: One of the guild members saying that, you know, to chill and try not to bring any attention. 12:11.823 --> 12:15.894 [Riv (DM)]: Heeding that warning, maybe or maybe not, they went outside, turned into elk. 12:16.716 --> 12:20.847 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar rode the elk through the city and there was a bit of a chase. 12:21.400 --> 12:25.884 [Riv (DM)]: Leading to shenanigans near deaths and a escape in the river. 12:27.445 --> 12:46.002 [Riv (DM)]: You swim to the other side because of Dondar's fast swimming magic armor and Kai's using some teleports and were just about to be caught when Dondar whipped out his Dust of Disappearance which he's been holding onto for a while and vanished just as a guard looked over the side. 12:46.042 --> 12:49.365 [Riv (DM)]: And they moved on and you're able to slip away unnoticed. 12:49.953 --> 12:53.178 [Riv (DM)]: Got back through the rest of the city and arrived at the temple. 12:54.439 --> 12:57.604 [Riv (DM)]: At the temple, what happened? 12:57.684 --> 13:03.152 [Riv (DM)]: So there were some soldiers outside that were sort of patrolling, just making sure that there weren't any big gatherings going on. 13:04.093 --> 13:06.396 [Riv (DM)]: Pretty clever usage of Fog Cloud. 13:06.417 --> 13:09.180 [Riv (DM)]: Were able to obscure your passage and you snuck around and got inside. 13:09.841 --> 13:18.694 [Riv (DM)]: Inside you met a cleric who was just tending to the altars called Lara, who went and fetched the high priest. 13:19.400 --> 13:26.091 [Riv (DM)]: Um, Kai tried to persuade him to allow him to perform a ceremony, um, but he was unwilling to do so. 13:26.131 --> 13:28.475 [Riv (DM)]: He was non-budging on the matter. 13:29.236 --> 13:39.332 [Riv (DM)]: Very concerned of the result of such a matter, um, because of the, uh, Kai's interesting affliction, potentially, or... 13:39.312 --> 13:42.217 [Riv (DM)]: Or his unknown path that lies before him. 13:43.479 --> 13:55.060 [Riv (DM)]: However, he did open up a bit more and explain to Kai that there is a path before him, one that he needs to choose how he wants to walk, whether it's in the path of lightness or the path of darkness. 13:55.040 --> 13:57.884 [Riv (DM)]: And they spoke a little bit about the Moonstones as well. 13:58.565 --> 14:01.089 [Riv (DM)]: And some sort of a prophecy. 14:01.249 --> 14:02.571 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure Kai wrote down notes for it. 14:03.673 --> 14:04.374 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 14:04.394 --> 14:04.815 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 14:05.756 --> 14:11.765 [Riv (DM)]: The priests offered for them to stay the night and that was roughly it. 14:11.945 --> 14:19.697 [Riv (DM)]: Back at the Green Griffins, the other three were just relaxing and drinking and completely blissfully unaware of the 14:19.677 --> 14:22.665 [Riv (DM)]: Crazy happenings and near-death occurrences. 14:23.707 --> 14:24.028 [Riv (DM)]: Drinkin'. 14:24.750 --> 14:29.703 [Riv (DM)]: And Ryo was practicing a bit of archery as they prepare for the morning. 14:29.763 --> 14:34.034 [Riv (DM)]: So, just gonna quickly look back through the notes. 14:34.496 --> 14:35.458 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no, that's good. 14:36.367 --> 14:44.716 [Riv (DM)]: So what I'll do, if there's anything you guys want to do, the other three that is, over that night, we can start there. 14:44.956 --> 14:51.944 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise, if you like, we can start in the morning as you come down and gather in the lower floor of the Green Griffins. 14:53.105 --> 14:54.606 [Riv (DM)]: So I'll pass that question over to you guys. 15:01.494 --> 15:01.934 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Very good. 15:01.954 --> 15:04.517 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're just waiting on information and 15:06.185 --> 15:11.095 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Killing time for our Chimera to get chopped up. 15:14.000 --> 15:16.565 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so you guys want to just sort of meet downstairs? 15:21.254 --> 15:22.837 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No, we haven't had a message back yet, have we? 15:25.021 --> 15:27.366 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I think we got one, we haven't read it yet. 15:29.219 --> 15:32.984 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so we can start with that if you like. 15:33.505 --> 15:36.088 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we say, who's holding on to the stones at this point? 15:36.128 --> 15:45.560 [JC (Ryo)]: It was either Vael or the bag of holding, wasn't it? 15:50.326 --> 15:50.987 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That sounds right. 15:55.793 --> 15:57.235 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so should we say Vael has them? 16:01.636 --> 16:02.718 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 16:02.738 --> 16:02.998 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 16:03.900 --> 16:14.776 [Riv (DM)]: So then I guess as you wake up in the morning before we even gather, you can take a quick peek at your satchel, open up the box, there's the stones inside, and you see that one of them is pulsing slightly. 16:14.816 --> 16:22.328 [Riv (DM)]: There's a little purple symbol that is just flashing on the base of one of the stones, and you can pull it out, and pressing on the symbol, 16:22.915 --> 16:28.123 [Riv (DM)]: A voice speaks into your mind and you recognize immediately to be Governor Talos. 16:29.786 --> 16:34.313 [Riv (DM)]: And you hear him say, Indeed, someone broke into the Bastion. 16:34.714 --> 16:35.976 [Riv (DM)]: Tried to assassinate Brado. 16:36.717 --> 16:37.579 [Riv (DM)]: Wondered if it was you. 16:38.360 --> 16:39.662 [Riv (DM)]: Very bold, if so. 16:41.184 --> 16:44.109 [Riv (DM)]: Must contact Val Noren as soon as possible. 16:48.016 --> 16:48.957 [Riv (DM)]: And the message shows up. 16:59.028 --> 17:06.796 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I guess I'll shoot one back just to stay in contact. 17:09.939 --> 17:12.501 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not us, but potentially allied parties. 17:15.504 --> 17:16.165 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pity they missed. 17:19.268 --> 17:20.309 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And that'll be the end. 17:22.251 --> 17:28.157 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I feel like you need like the start message, the Morse code, end message. 17:29.234 --> 17:32.453 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're like... 17:32.473 --> 17:32.794 [Riv (DM)]: Awesome. 17:35.671 --> 17:36.898 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 17:39.713 --> 17:51.011 [Riv (DM)]: Well, with that, I guess, shall we say the three of you managed to get up, get downstairs, and down in this basement level, the embers of the fires are just smouldering a little bit. 17:51.051 --> 17:52.033 [Riv (DM)]: The fire is mostly out. 17:53.154 --> 17:58.363 [Riv (DM)]: The woman from last night, the purple-skinned tiefling, is actually still down here. 17:58.603 --> 18:00.747 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like she'd fallen asleep with her head against the wall. 18:01.087 --> 18:05.434 [Riv (DM)]: And as you come down, she kind of just, like, nods off and sees you, and... 18:05.414 --> 18:10.420 [Riv (DM)]: Just glances in your direction and gives you a little nod, heads over and starts trying to tend to the fire a bit. 18:12.503 --> 18:18.691 [Riv (DM)]: You can find a bit of food and a bit of drink this morning but other than that it's just the three of you and the tiefling woman. 18:19.251 --> 18:30.325 [Riv (DM)]: And unless there's anything specific you guys had any intention of doing at this point? 18:31.739 --> 18:42.896 [Riv (DM)]: I would say, as you are sort of relaxing for the next 15 minutes or so, you can hear the slight patter of rain on the roof outside. 18:42.916 --> 18:48.364 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't sound like it's pouring as much as it was last night, but still just a little bit of showers. 18:49.660 --> 18:53.143 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably seven or so in the morning, shall we say? 18:53.183 --> 18:53.584 [Riv (DM)]: Seven or eight? 18:54.144 --> 18:59.810 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, after relaxing and just saying to prepare yourselves, you hear a knock on the door outside. 19:01.412 --> 19:03.514 [Riv (DM)]: Quite a heavy fisted slamming on the door. 19:06.777 --> 19:07.217 [Riv (DM)]: What do you do? 19:09.620 --> 19:11.021 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think he's the griffins? 19:12.222 --> 19:13.063 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 19:13.083 --> 19:17.087 [Riv (DM)]: That's where you are, right? 19:17.107 --> 19:17.187 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 19:18.010 --> 19:18.971 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Keep my feet up. 19:18.991 --> 19:19.752 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm not the doorkeeper. 19:22.294 --> 19:28.901 [Riv (DM)]: The, um, tiefling woman just sort of looks up and shrugs and starts to wander over to the door. 19:30.663 --> 19:34.266 [Riv (DM)]: As she passes by, she says, It's a bit strange at this time in the morning, isn't it? 19:34.286 --> 19:36.328 [Riv (DM)]: You don't normally get people knocking coming in here. 19:37.369 --> 19:39.431 [Riv (DM)]: Oh well, see what they want. 19:39.451 --> 19:43.816 [Riv (DM)]: She heads over and, um, Is it a cop knock? 19:43.836 --> 19:44.997 [Riv (DM)]: Say, say again? 19:45.500 --> 19:51.610 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know if anyone has ever had police knock on their door, but police have a very distinctive knock. 19:52.414 --> 19:53.198 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They don't 19:53.549 --> 19:56.292 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They bang the door very loudly. 19:57.013 --> 19:59.116 [Riv (DM)]: Sounds like pretty loud banging. 20:00.277 --> 20:03.781 [Riv (DM)]: She gets over and she starts to sort of crack open the door. 20:04.101 --> 20:05.403 [Riv (DM)]: And then she opens it just a little bit. 20:05.423 --> 20:06.584 [Riv (DM)]: It actually just sort of kicks open. 20:07.165 --> 20:09.187 [Riv (DM)]: It seems like the people were impatient. 20:09.728 --> 20:18.358 [Riv (DM)]: And you see now standing silhouetted in the door as she just starts to back up and her hand almost instinctively goes over her shoulder to the giant gray sword. 20:18.338 --> 20:32.876 [Riv (DM)]: A tall, imposing figure, full plate armor, bright red cloak with a plumed helm, and several soldiers behind, all kind of looking around, making sure there's no threats. 20:33.798 --> 20:42.068 [Riv (DM)]: And this man steps forward and says, Come forth, who may speak with who is an authority of this place? 20:44.039 --> 20:51.969 [Riv (DM)]: Um, the, the woman says, uh, I guess, I, I just, I'm just, I'm just here. 20:53.030 --> 20:53.911 [Riv (DM)]: Look, quiet. 20:54.632 --> 20:55.173 [Riv (DM)]: He cuts her off. 20:57.315 --> 20:58.256 [Riv (DM)]: I'm looking for druids. 20:59.177 --> 21:01.000 [Riv (DM)]: I'm looking for half-folk magic users. 21:01.781 --> 21:03.142 [Riv (DM)]: Any of you, any of them in here? 21:03.362 --> 21:07.508 [Riv (DM)]: Speak quickly or you will face the consequences of the Empire's wrath. 21:09.089 --> 21:10.311 [Riv (DM)]: The Kwan-sequences? 21:10.331 --> 21:13.675 [Riv (DM)]: The Kwan- She's like, 21:13.857 --> 21:15.539 [Riv (DM)]: Well, does it look like me?

24:25.194 --> 24:31.863 [Riv (DM)]: Gosh, have you been getting your folk up to mischief, have you? 24:33.145 --> 24:35.989 [Riv (DM)]: And Porter comes along and just says, 24:36.188 --> 24:40.235 [Riv (DM)]: Look, Gorath, I haven't got an idea of what you're talking about. 24:40.675 --> 24:41.897 [Riv (DM)]: Can we just cut to the chase, please? 24:42.699 --> 24:57.242 [Riv (DM)]: And he steps forward and smashes his finger into his chest and says, Last night, two, two powerful individuals were seen fleeing through the city, causing all sorts of mischief and killed one soldier. 24:57.282 --> 25:02.010 [Riv (DM)]: They were a druid and a half-folk magic user. 25:03.003 --> 25:10.758 [Riv (DM)]: It seemed like exactly the sort of person that would be found around these parts, and it just so happened to be the case that they were seen coming from this direction. 25:10.798 --> 25:24.643 [Riv (DM)]: And so, as you can imagine, we're here following up leads, and if we find anything, mmm, you griffins, you ought to look out for yourselves, your time here as independent contractors may be coming soon to an end. 25:25.846 --> 25:26.547 [Riv (DM)]: Portisite, look! 25:28.602 --> 25:29.283 [Riv (DM)]: No druids here? 25:30.365 --> 25:32.448 [Riv (DM)]: When you say half-folk, what do you mean? 25:32.828 --> 25:33.189 [Riv (DM)]: Druids! 25:33.409 --> 25:33.650 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, sorry. 25:33.870 --> 25:34.291 [Riv (DM)]: Dwarves! 25:34.571 --> 25:36.674 [Riv (DM)]: Halflings! 25:36.694 --> 25:43.645 [Riv (DM)]: And, um, he looks over the shoulder and sees, uh, Vera, who was the halfling that you'd spoken to last night. 25:44.867 --> 25:48.452 [Riv (DM)]: And, um... Actually, let me just double-check that. 25:49.413 --> 25:49.614 [Riv (DM)]: Yes! 25:50.014 --> 25:50.435 [Riv (DM)]: Vera. 25:50.836 --> 25:51.617 [Riv (DM)]: Vera Goldfinger. 25:51.877 --> 25:52.498 [Riv (DM)]: Shrewd halfling. 25:53.279 --> 25:53.800 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 25:54.995 --> 25:56.697 [Riv (DM)]: He says, you there, come forth. 25:57.058 --> 25:57.679 [Riv (DM)]: Let me speak to you. 25:57.999 --> 25:58.840 [Riv (DM)]: And Vera approaches. 26:00.883 --> 26:04.227 [Riv (DM)]: She has basically just peasant's clothes. 26:05.109 --> 26:07.832 [Riv (DM)]: Well, maybe not peasant's clothes, but she's not carrying any weapons. 26:08.613 --> 26:12.739 [Riv (DM)]: She was the finance keeper, the supply keeper of the guild. 26:13.900 --> 26:18.066 [Riv (DM)]: And the hand says, step forth. 26:19.565 --> 26:31.119 [Riv (DM)]: And one of the other soldiers comes forwards and holds out a wand and starts to sort of just gesture it in her direction, waving it like sort of above her and around her. 26:33.622 --> 26:37.106 [Riv (DM)]: For a few moments the soldier looks back at the hand and just shakes his head. 26:40.731 --> 26:44.475 [Riv (DM)]: Very well, you can go and sit back down. 26:45.991 --> 26:55.948 [Riv (DM)]: Well, Porter, I'm sure you wouldn't mind us having a quick search through the place, and if we just happen to find anyone that we're looking for, well, maybe we'll take them with us for questioning. 26:57.811 --> 27:00.455 [Riv (DM)]: Porter just shrugs and says, Look, we've got nothing to hide. 27:00.495 --> 27:02.699 [Riv (DM)]: We're honest contractors, as you know. 27:02.739 --> 27:03.801 [Riv (DM)]: You've worked with us for many years. 27:06.606 --> 27:07.147 [Riv (DM)]: Do what you must. 27:08.449 --> 27:09.130 [Riv (DM)]: And with that... 27:10.679 --> 27:14.604 [Riv (DM)]: Soldiers start to spread out and start looking around through the rooms. 27:14.664 --> 27:15.364 [Riv (DM)]: They head upstairs. 27:16.005 --> 27:19.649 [Riv (DM)]: They just sort of start scanning all parts of the building. 27:20.270 --> 27:21.852 [Riv (DM)]: You hear a few more people getting woken upstairs. 27:22.693 --> 27:23.614 [Riv (DM)]: You hear some shots like, what? 27:23.734 --> 27:25.516 [Riv (DM)]: What's going on? 27:26.838 --> 27:29.981 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, as this is going on, anything you guys are up to? 27:32.985 --> 27:36.209 [Riv (DM)]: The hand is remaining downstairs, just keeping an eye on you all. 27:39.232 --> 27:39.893 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I got nothing to hide. 27:41.746 --> 27:43.349 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Last thing I want to do is act suspicious. 27:43.890 --> 27:47.476 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm just another drunk, arrogant mercenary. 27:47.756 --> 27:48.758 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, not drunk. 27:48.778 --> 27:49.619 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, maybe I am, necessarily. 27:49.699 --> 27:54.407 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Who knows? 27:54.427 --> 27:58.394 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 27:58.414 --> 28:06.808 [Riv (DM)]: After five or ten minutes, most of the soldiers have sort of arrived and came back and started mingling again down in the main area. 28:09.556 --> 28:10.257 [Riv (DM)]: Poor to say as well. 28:10.837 --> 28:12.459 [Riv (DM)]: Did you find what you were looking for, Gorath? 28:15.722 --> 28:24.089 [Riv (DM)]: Well, it's very, very likely that they just haven't returned, so... Alright. 28:25.491 --> 28:27.352 [Riv (DM)]: Men, out. 28:28.614 --> 28:30.035 [Riv (DM)]: We will keep looking. 28:30.515 --> 28:33.558 [Riv (DM)]: And they start heading out. 28:36.461 --> 28:37.842 [Riv (DM)]: Door closes behind them. 28:39.728 --> 28:46.858 [Riv (DM)]: And you're left with a few moments of silence after that search. 28:50.764 --> 28:53.789 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll signal someone over to go and make sure the door's closed. 28:54.690 --> 28:59.737 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, T hardly goes in behind the soldiers and closes it. 28:59.757 --> 29:01.860 [Riv (DM)]: You hear a as a lock turns into place. 29:03.903 --> 29:06.547 [Riv (DM)]: Porter just slowly turns to look at you. 29:08.911 --> 29:09.111 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Oh. 29:09.412 --> 29:11.795 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Both hands up. 29:11.815 --> 29:12.956 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No fucking idea. 29:14.137 --> 29:15.278 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Though I do have suspicions. 29:16.660 --> 29:19.203 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm very sorry for bringing this shit to your door. 29:20.104 --> 29:21.165 [Riv (DM)]: T comes up beside Porter. 29:21.826 --> 29:22.987 [Riv (DM)]: You've got suspicions? 29:23.467 --> 29:26.190 [Riv (DM)]: I bloody well told them last night not to get themselves into trouble. 29:26.671 --> 29:28.593 [Riv (DM)]: And especially not to bring any attention here. 29:32.938 --> 29:34.980 [JC (Ryo)]: If that helps, I don't trust that little one either. 29:38.521 --> 29:43.889 [Riv (DM)]: Porter just puts a hand up to his eyes, just gives them a rub, the size of it. 29:48.074 --> 29:49.997 [Riv (DM)]: You can understand the position this has put me in, right? 29:51.018 --> 29:51.199 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep. 29:52.420 --> 29:55.184 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, we need to get out of town as fast as possible anyway. 29:55.485 --> 29:59.150 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was actually going to find you today and see if you had any jobs heading north. 30:03.937 --> 30:07.161 [Riv (DM)]: I could go and look. 30:07.867 --> 30:08.949 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But... 30:08.969 --> 30:11.432 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Even if it's not a solid one, just a way for us to get out. 30:11.652 --> 30:12.514 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A good excuse to leave. 30:13.255 --> 30:14.416 [JC (Ryo)]: Do we have to head north? 30:16.760 --> 30:17.240 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think so. 30:19.063 --> 30:23.630 [Riv (DM)]: Fuck. 30:23.650 --> 30:23.930 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 30:25.733 --> 30:29.178 [Riv (DM)]: Um, actually... You know what, Veleran? 30:29.198 --> 30:30.820 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you roll a persuasion check for me? 30:38.765 --> 30:40.748 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not even gonna have a presence on this one. 30:40.888 --> 30:49.060 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll just be... Not great, not durable. 30:51.344 --> 30:54.068 [Riv (DM)]: Porter doesn't make a move to go and look for the books. 30:54.629 --> 30:58.234 [Riv (DM)]: He just says, look, take some time out of town. 30:59.095 --> 30:59.696 [Riv (DM)]: Let this die down. 31:00.537 --> 31:01.960 [Riv (DM)]: When you come back, maybe we can talk again. 31:02.020 --> 31:04.283 [Riv (DM)]: But for now, I think you really just need to get moving. 31:04.955 --> 31:05.696 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, fair. 31:05.996 --> 31:08.660 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was just looking for a valid reason to get out the gates. 31:08.900 --> 31:10.943 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Though they're mostly locking people in, not out, aren't they? 31:11.744 --> 31:13.806 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so far that's what it seems like, but who knows today. 31:14.648 --> 31:16.971 [Riv (DM)]: You've still got the tokens, and you may keep them. 31:17.752 --> 31:33.612 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just... On the sus side at least, you can see the Empire might be... Let's just say they've got a bit more balls of dealing with the griffins than just letting us free run. 31:36.157 --> 31:42.075 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That shows what their current thinking is on their stance on where the guild is in the world. 31:42.095 --> 31:43.258 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's terrible. 31:43.278 --> 31:43.720 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I can't speak. 31:44.402 --> 31:44.983 [Riv (DM)]: You get what I mean. 31:45.064 --> 31:45.645 [Riv (DM)]: I feel you, dude. 31:47.692 --> 31:48.113 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 31:49.437 --> 31:50.841 [Riv (DM)]: It's an interesting one because 31:52.222 --> 31:53.504 [Riv (DM)]: We have some force. 31:53.704 --> 31:56.989 [Riv (DM)]: You know, a lot of our contractors are often just out. 31:57.169 --> 31:58.291 [Riv (DM)]: They're not often here. 31:58.732 --> 32:03.539 [Riv (DM)]: However, the Empire doesn't want to have to deal with all these problems that the town folks raise. 32:04.019 --> 32:07.304 [Riv (DM)]: They don't want to deal with killing chimeras and trolls. 32:08.406 --> 32:16.137 [Riv (DM)]: If they shut us down very publicly, well, that would just be another thing to add to the pile of things that the people in the city have to complain about, right? 32:17.213 --> 32:20.416 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It'd be manpower they'd have to delegate to do the jobs. 32:21.417 --> 32:27.763 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It would be a reasonable force of well-armed, well-trained individuals no longer under Empire control. 32:29.205 --> 32:45.381 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But if they're planning on moving, if they're willing to step up like this and they obviously don't have a lot of respect or they're planning on dealing with it soon, it might be worth spreading the word quietly that 32:45.833 --> 32:48.136 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sharpen your blades and be prepared to run. 32:49.559 --> 32:49.819 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Indeed. 32:49.859 --> 32:51.682 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Because they aren't just going to let you guys walk away. 32:53.625 --> 32:53.945 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed. 32:54.426 --> 33:02.698 [Riv (DM)]: And I can imagine all of these reasons are the only way that our relationship, as tenuous as it has been, has been able to last for this long. 33:05.983 --> 33:06.424 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 33:07.619 --> 33:08.400 [Riv (DM)]: It'll be interesting. 33:09.862 --> 33:15.930 [Riv (DM)]: It's been a while since I've actually picked up a sword myself, but eh, you never know. 33:18.253 --> 33:19.054 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, well, anyway. 33:19.956 --> 33:25.343 [Riv (DM)]: You can take what supplies you need for the road and come back in some time. 33:26.705 --> 33:27.325 [Riv (DM)]: Let us die down. 33:29.308 --> 33:36.698 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Once again, my apologies and rest assured those two will be getting a stern talking to among other things. 33:38.163 --> 33:39.905 [Riv (DM)]: Nods, claps you on the shoulder. 33:40.645 --> 33:44.649 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, the others can help you. 33:45.049 --> 33:48.012 [Riv (DM)]: Vera can come and give you some supplies, rations and stuff like that. 33:48.653 --> 33:50.594 [Riv (DM)]: As many as you'd like to add onto your sheets. 33:51.395 --> 33:52.256 [Riv (DM)]: Your character sheets, that is. 33:54.478 --> 33:57.501 [Riv (DM)]: Tea, just standing all the while, just watching you guys. 33:58.302 --> 33:58.782 [Riv (DM)]: Hard to read. 33:59.823 --> 34:02.546 [Riv (DM)]: And you can head out into the rain. 34:04.828 --> 34:07.410 [Riv (DM)]: So, why don't we do this? 34:08.707 --> 34:09.689 [Riv (DM)]: Haven't done one of these in a while. 34:14.682 --> 34:14.923 [Unmatched Speaker]: Rainy. 34:15.564 --> 34:15.805 Yeah. 34:16.206 --> 34:17.830 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Rainy on grey so it's a bit hard to see, but rainy. 34:22.001 --> 34:25.770 [Riv (DM)]: The, um, I think the image, yeah it's a bit small here, I can zoom it in for you all. 34:26.830 --> 34:27.030 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 34:28.613 --> 34:29.634 [Riv (DM)]: Um, cool. 34:29.654 --> 34:32.378 [Riv (DM)]: So, stepping out into the gentle rain of the street. 34:33.560 --> 34:34.761 [Riv (DM)]: With electric lights! 34:35.482 --> 34:36.063 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 34:36.424 --> 34:40.129 [Riv (DM)]: No, that lantern's... that little candle's burning in there. 34:40.870 --> 34:41.611 [Lacer (Kai)]: I need a reload. 34:41.751 --> 34:42.913 [Lacer (Kai)]: I see a grey screen. 34:43.173 --> 34:45.456 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, just changing image in backwards for me. 34:45.476 --> 34:45.577 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 34:46.818 --> 34:47.619 [Riv (DM)]: Give it a quick reload. 34:47.640 --> 34:49.482 [Riv (DM)]: Can't see anything. 34:49.502 --> 34:51.405 [Riv (DM)]: Um, cool. 34:51.425 --> 34:51.605 [Riv (DM)]: Well. 34:52.266 --> 34:52.587 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There we go. 34:52.947 --> 34:53.648 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Works. 34:57.357 --> 34:58.138 [Riv (DM)]: Out on the streets. 34:59.480 --> 35:04.348 [Riv (DM)]: Let's cut over to the guys themselves. 35:04.609 --> 35:07.213 [Riv (DM)]: Kai and Dondar. 35:07.233 --> 35:07.754 [Riv (DM)]: The heroes. 35:08.835 --> 35:09.196 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed. 35:10.899 --> 35:12.321 [Riv (DM)]: Powerful. 35:13.663 --> 35:14.665 [Riv (DM)]: Powerful. 35:14.685 --> 35:22.217 [Riv (DM)]: You awake in one of the sort of antechambers inside the temple, inside the high sept. Several beds around you. 35:22.197 --> 35:31.030 [Riv (DM)]: One of them filled by someone who is sleeping in a little bit, but most of the other people, the other priests have gotten up for the day. 35:31.751 --> 35:40.965 [Riv (DM)]: And as you're awake, Kai, you hear 35:41.452 --> 35:48.039 [Riv (DM)]: Well, first of all, the very first thing you feel when you wake up, Kai, is an absolutely excruciating burning sensation in your arm. 35:48.680 --> 35:50.702 [Riv (DM)]: It's all like down your shoulder and across your bicep. 35:51.323 --> 35:56.729 [Riv (DM)]: And as you're sort of just like wrestling with this, you hear a whisper over your right shoulder. 35:57.830 --> 36:02.476 [Riv (DM)]: It says, You and your friend caused quite the stir last night. 36:03.176 --> 36:03.857 [Riv (DM)]: I'm impressed. 36:04.298 --> 36:06.480 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe even a little proud. 36:06.460 --> 36:08.702 [Riv (DM)]: Such actions do not go unrewarded. 36:08.783 --> 36:17.753 [Riv (DM)]: And the burning in your arm almost intensifies a little bit to the point where it just feels like you're about to pass out and then it just ends as abruptly as it started. 36:17.813 --> 36:21.997 [Riv (DM)]: And with that, you're back. 36:23.699 --> 36:27.243 [Lacer (Kai)]: That was terrible. 36:27.263 --> 36:27.604 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait. 36:28.124 --> 36:31.588 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait a minute. 36:31.768 --> 36:32.529 [Lacer (Kai)]: Start to break up a bit. 36:33.971 --> 36:35.112 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, my mic was down. 36:35.132 --> 36:35.252 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sorry. 36:36.582 --> 36:40.888 [Lacer (Kai)]: I wake up and I look at my arms straight away. 36:41.949 --> 36:43.131 [Lacer (Kai)]: I pull back my sleeve. 36:44.012 --> 36:45.194 [Riv (DM)]: What do I see? 36:45.895 --> 36:51.102 [Riv (DM)]: The faint starry symbols that you're very used to are just fading away. 36:51.462 --> 36:55.969 [Riv (DM)]: It was as if they had activated and then they're now just starting to turn off again. 36:57.150 --> 37:02.117 [Riv (DM)]: You can clearly see that the dark stars are now fairly far down your arm. 37:04.375 --> 37:13.767 [Riv (DM)]: You've maybe got like from, yeah, about your bicep down to your fingertips on your right arm are all bright white and blue stars. 37:14.448 --> 37:16.972 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, the shoulder and above is all black. 37:18.574 --> 37:22.239 [Riv (DM)]: But it's fading at this point, just as you're waking up. 37:22.259 --> 37:26.985 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I wipe the sweat from my brow and I go and look at Dondar. 37:27.446 --> 37:28.347 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 37:28.467 --> 37:33.133 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, crack open your character sheet and have a look at your features, scroll down to the very bottom. 37:40.488 --> 37:42.090 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, oh, something new. 37:44.594 --> 37:47.278 [Riv (DM)]: You can just read that when you like. 37:47.358 --> 37:48.159 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, here you are. 37:48.199 --> 37:49.901 [Riv (DM)]: You are awake inside the temple. 37:50.322 --> 37:50.883 [Riv (DM)]: What do you two do? 37:54.528 --> 37:55.670 [Lacer (Kai)]: I find Dondigo. 37:55.830 --> 37:58.594 [Lacer (Kai)]: We made a big ruckus last night. 37:59.155 --> 38:02.940 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're going to be looking for people like us. 38:04.602 --> 38:07.046 [Lacer (Kai)]: How do we get around this morning? 38:07.987 --> 38:09.870 [Lacer (Kai)]: Pretty sure the guard's going to be on high alert. 38:13.225 --> 38:14.146 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's a good question. 38:16.108 --> 38:17.610 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can anyone here help us get out? 38:23.336 --> 38:23.977 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not too sure. 38:23.997 --> 38:34.289 [Lacer (Kai)]: I might see if we can get maybe some vestments if we dress up like people of the church or the High Sept. 38:34.689 --> 38:35.690 [Lacer (Kai)]: It might help. 38:38.754 --> 38:41.697 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I look for Lana or someone?

Yeah. 46:00.082 --> 46:04.087 [Riv (DM)]: When people are making perception checks to see invisible people, they can. 46:04.348 --> 46:06.250 [Riv (DM)]: You can roll high enough to be able to see them. 46:07.372 --> 46:08.353 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, interesting. 46:09.335 --> 46:09.435 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 46:09.455 --> 46:12.018 [Riv (DM)]: But you have to know they're there, or guess they're there. 46:12.038 --> 46:12.419 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially, yeah. 46:12.439 --> 46:15.903 [Riv (DM)]: A lot of circumstances, but like, yeah, the rain example exactly. 46:15.963 --> 46:20.089 [Riv (DM)]: A very perceptive person might notice that rain is just stopping in this particular area. 46:21.200 --> 46:22.141 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, dammit! 46:22.262 --> 46:25.827 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I knew I had Disguised Self, but I haven't learnt it. 46:26.568 --> 46:27.570 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh. 46:27.650 --> 46:27.750 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 46:27.770 --> 46:33.138 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: DM, It's in my Goblin Priestess' spellbook, yeah. 46:33.158 --> 46:34.861 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, I thought you learnt all those spells. 46:35.301 --> 46:36.843 [JC (Ryo)]: You've learnt like one of those spells. 46:36.864 --> 46:38.646 [JC (Ryo)]: You've got like six to go or some rubbish, right? 46:40.048 --> 46:41.611 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hmm. 46:41.631 --> 46:43.634 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, I kind of forgot about that. 46:44.455 --> 46:45.857 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I wasn't meant to be doing that. 46:50.714 --> 46:51.375 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, well. 46:52.336 --> 46:53.738 [Riv (DM)]: Well oh well, so what's the plan then? 46:54.680 --> 47:02.311 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to go past the statue on the way out of...

01:01:07.288 --> 01:01:07.449 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Mm-hmm. 01:01:07.469 --> 01:01:08.409 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, that's unfortunate. 01:01:11.252 --> 01:01:11.872 [Riv (DM)]: Are we there yet? 01:01:12.673 --> 01:01:13.654 [Riv (DM)]: No, we're about an hour away. 01:01:16.520 --> 01:01:20.365 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Would they have left roughly the same time we have left? 01:01:22.568 --> 01:01:23.028 [Riv (DM)]: You've asked? 01:01:26.312 --> 01:01:27.554 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I don't know, I guess... 01:01:30.257 --> 01:01:31.058 [Riv (DM)]: I suppose... 01:01:33.521 --> 01:01:34.482 [Riv (DM)]: This is going to be a tricky one. 01:01:37.486 --> 01:01:46.257 [Riv (DM)]: So what would you guys think each other would do in this situation, I guess, is the question we need to solve without being too metagaming, I guess, right? 01:01:46.591 --> 01:01:56.680 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would assume that the other guys would be at the Green Griffon, because I have no idea where else they would go, unless they were going to the Fernfang. 01:01:59.623 --> 01:02:06.690 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I would have assumed that they would wait for us before I knew that the city was locked. 01:02:06.710 --> 01:02:08.071 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The original plan would have been to wait. 01:02:08.131 --> 01:02:13.957 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: For me, knowing that we've got to move and that we're at the temple, I would probably be moving in that direction. 01:02:14.717 --> 01:02:15.298 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If I want to 01:02:15.616 --> 01:02:16.837 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Retcon and rollback a bit. 01:02:16.857 --> 01:02:28.591 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I would have probably left word at the Green Griffins that if those two idiots do turn up, send them to probably the Fur and Fang or a new, actually a pub's probably too public. 01:02:29.252 --> 01:02:31.314 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably Fur and Fang's the closest we got to a safe slot. 01:02:31.695 --> 01:02:31.795 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:02:31.815 --> 01:02:32.816 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, no, that works. 01:02:32.856 --> 01:02:33.357 [Riv (DM)]: That's good. 01:02:33.377 --> 01:02:38.663 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But otherwise I would have been, you know, slowly moving towards the temple area. 01:02:39.003 --> 01:02:39.884 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 01:02:40.445 --> 01:02:42.127 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, so you'd say you wouldn't go to Fur and Fang? 01:02:43.408 --> 01:02:44.830 [Lacer (Kai)]: Probably not immediately. 01:02:45.603 --> 01:02:46.705 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's only been a day, right? 01:02:46.725 --> 01:02:50.672 [Lacer (Kai)]: They can't carve up the whole thing properly. 01:02:50.692 --> 01:03:00.970 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The closest we've got to a safe house without imposing on the Ravens, which might be a bit more worth it. 01:03:00.990 --> 01:03:01.230 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The Ravens. 01:03:02.493 --> 01:03:03.274 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Nope, the Ravens. 01:03:05.414 --> 01:03:09.499 [Riv (DM)]: Lots of flying guilds. 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.605 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, the bridge is like, if they want to come back, they'd have to cross the bridge. 01:03:13.625 --> 01:03:15.187 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We already crossed the bridge. 01:03:15.207 --> 01:03:17.470 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, we don't have to cross the bridge. 01:03:17.790 --> 01:03:21.014 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe post up somewhere to watch the bridge to try and intercept them on the way back. 01:03:21.475 --> 01:03:23.898 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Because I would assume they'd come back to the Gryffins. 01:03:23.918 --> 01:03:24.018 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:03:24.038 --> 01:03:24.679 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:03:24.699 --> 01:03:25.920 [Riv (DM)]: So Fur and Fang's down here. 01:03:26.241 --> 01:03:27.102 [Riv (DM)]: Gryffins is up here. 01:03:28.853 --> 01:03:31.616 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, now they're heading down across this way. 01:03:32.317 --> 01:03:34.059 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, that's cool. 01:03:34.139 --> 01:03:44.431 [Riv (DM)]: So why don't we say, let's stick with Kai and Dondar for now, and we'll say that the rest of you three have just sort of posted up somewhere on the street, keeping an eye out. 01:03:45.232 --> 01:03:46.413 [Riv (DM)]: Invisibility's about to run out. 01:03:46.974 --> 01:03:52.199 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, Dondar, what are you guys doing?

01:23:52.436 --> 01:23:53.557 [JC (Ryo)]: 40 gold and how much? 01:23:53.577 --> 01:23:58.263 [Riv (DM)]: 40 gold from the Tiger Pelts and then 2900 gold from the Chimera. 01:23:59.925 --> 01:24:05.052 [Riv (DM)]: He says that the gold, you know, they'll have to sell it over time. 01:24:06.398 --> 01:24:18.934 [Riv (DM)]: It's not, you know, it's not the sort of thing you can just take it to the market and just sell all at once, but they would give you sort of a payment in advance and probably take a few hundred gold for themselves as just, you know, part of processing and stuff like that. 01:24:18.974 --> 01:24:24.821 [Riv (DM)]: So I think that they'll be willing to give you, at this point, 2,500 gold up front and they would hold back 400. 01:24:24.841 --> 01:24:33.672 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Sounds good to me. 01:24:35.288 --> 01:24:36.330 [JC (Ryo)]: Surely you can do better. 01:24:42.160 --> 01:24:47.370 [JC (Ryo)]: I've sold more damage Tiger Pills than that before and gotten twice that much. 01:24:48.772 --> 01:24:49.113 [Riv (DM)]: Roll? 01:24:49.794 --> 01:24:52.098 [Riv (DM)]: Is it a Persuasion or Deception check you're trying to do? 01:24:54.563 --> 01:24:55.204 [JC (Ryo)]: Not sure. 01:24:57.817 --> 01:25:01.026 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm gonna go with Persuasion here, man. 01:25:01.407 --> 01:25:09.351 [Riv (DM)]: I think with Tiger Pelts, it's very unlikely, unless you had come across Sabertooth Tigers, it's very unlikely you would have gotten... Alright, they're at Deception then. 01:25:09.371 --> 01:25:10.915 [JC (Ryo)]: 20 gold's a lot of gold. 01:25:20.530 --> 01:25:23.994 [Riv (DM)]: He smiles at you. 01:25:25.416 --> 01:25:27.699 [Riv (DM)]: It's always fun to haggle back, I have to be honest, mate. 01:25:29.582 --> 01:25:30.503 [Riv (DM)]: I'm a bit tired for it. 01:25:32.626 --> 01:25:34.308 [JC (Ryo)]: I guess bears are just worth more than tigers. 01:25:36.010 --> 01:25:36.531 Yeah, maybe. 01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:46.804 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I'll definitely take the 40 gold from the tiger pots. 01:25:46.824 --> 01:25:47.765 [JC (Ryo)]: Forget about the cave thing. 01:25:48.026 --> 01:25:49.828 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm not going to be able to hang around long enough to get one. 01:25:52.728 --> 01:26:02.997 [Riv (DM)]: You could leave it and come back if you like, or... Look at Erendor, when do you reckon we'll be back next? 01:26:05.059 --> 01:26:06.821 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I don't reckon we'll be back anytime soon. 01:26:07.561 --> 01:26:10.244 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 01:26:10.264 --> 01:26:12.586 [JC (Ryo)]: So 2500 for the Chimera, that's what you'll give us? 01:26:16.509 --> 01:26:16.589 [JC (Ryo)]: Mhm. 01:26:16.609 --> 01:26:17.330 [JC (Ryo)]: You're okay with that? 01:26:19.952 --> 01:26:21.874 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, all I'm gonna say is... 01:26:22.124 --> 01:26:27.410 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: They've given us two Grand Flats, and that's all the others need to know. 01:26:29.252 --> 01:26:32.275 [Unmatched Speaker]: I didn't catch that man, sorry. 01:26:32.295 --> 01:26:34.618 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: As far as the others are aware, we got two Grand Flats. 01:26:36.961 --> 01:26:37.081 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh. 01:26:38.643 --> 01:26:39.263 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, sounds good. 01:26:41.966 --> 01:26:45.030 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, yep. 01:26:45.050 --> 01:26:46.732 [Riv (DM)]: Oh dear. 01:26:46.792 --> 01:26:51.557 [Riv (DM)]: I chucked the itinerary in the chat for you guys to reference. 01:26:53.056 --> 01:26:55.459 [Riv (DM)]: So you can kind of see the breakdown of it. 01:26:55.479 --> 01:27:01.445 [Riv (DM)]: This was using a lot of inspiration from that um that document I sent around a couple a week or so back. 01:27:03.647 --> 01:27:08.913 [JC (Ryo)]: I look at Eryndor I'm just like hey these tiger pelts I'm gonna keep that cash if that's all right. 01:27:08.933 --> 01:27:12.316 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah of course. 01:27:12.336 --> 01:27:12.757 [JC (Ryo)]: More cash. 01:27:15.379 --> 01:27:16.460 [JC (Ryo)]: Okay. 01:27:16.480 --> 01:27:19.924 [JC (Ryo)]: Remind me not to let you go shopping on your own uh selling on your own. 01:27:25.675 --> 01:27:26.115 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty. 01:27:27.277 --> 01:27:35.425 [Riv (DM)]: And with that, you can get your horses and carts cart and say farewell to Gaara and Kira. 01:27:37.167 --> 01:27:40.170 [Riv (DM)]: Heading out, you find the cart is pretty busted up. 01:27:40.450 --> 01:27:43.934 [Riv (DM)]: You'd broken off the top of it to be able to fit the Chimera in it. 01:27:43.974 --> 01:27:44.855 [Riv (DM)]: So it is just open. 01:27:45.436 --> 01:27:47.798 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know if that bothers you or if you're happy to keep it as is. 01:27:48.299 --> 01:27:52.543 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 01:27:54.785 --> 01:27:58.931 [JC (Ryo)]: Should we try and get some lumber and some cloth to repair this thing while we're on the way? 01:28:04.178 --> 01:28:10.968 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I mean...

02:35:14.201 --> 02:35:14.982 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, absolutely. 02:35:15.102 --> 02:35:15.723 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:35:16.344 --> 02:35:17.506 [Riv (DM)]: There's plenty of hands around. 02:35:17.546 --> 02:35:22.053 [Riv (DM)]: You can see at this stable there's like very nice big carts already here. 02:35:22.354 --> 02:35:26.661 [Riv (DM)]: It's very much a tavern for nobles and powerful people. 02:35:28.936 --> 02:35:35.022 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes, I've just changed over to Discord on my phone. 02:35:35.563 --> 02:35:37.925 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: My laptop was struggling hard. 02:35:39.166 --> 02:35:46.393 [JC (Ryo)]: I could barely tell what you were saying for a while there. 02:35:46.673 --> 02:35:49.997 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, so I'm not going to waken. 02:35:50.998 --> 02:35:57.424 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What I will do though is leave a note for them. 02:35:58.619 --> 02:36:08.028 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Illusory scripts. 02:36:08.489 --> 02:36:10.711 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Very simply, I don't know many people in the Ravens. 02:36:11.332 --> 02:36:12.473 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I don't know who I can trust yet. 02:36:19.780 --> 02:36:25.806 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Just a relatively basic note of that we're leaving. 02:36:26.127 --> 02:36:27.428 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We don't know when we'll be back. 02:36:28.943 --> 02:36:29.744 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And... 02:36:32.228 --> 02:36:35.833 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I will do what I can to keep in contact. 02:36:38.537 --> 02:36:41.842 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And that the... 02:36:44.766 --> 02:36:46.249 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I forget, is it the governor? 02:36:46.289 --> 02:36:50.936 [Riv (DM)]: For this town, for the city? 02:36:50.956 --> 02:36:52.598 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, governor, do you mean Governor Talos? 02:36:53.780 --> 02:36:55.582 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, that was the name. 02:36:56.424 --> 02:36:58.647 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: He's probably one of the only people that can 02:36:59.318 --> 02:37:01.561 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Demi directly contact us for a while. 02:37:01.621 --> 02:37:11.313 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:37:11.333 --> 02:37:16.759 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, yeah, so this is, is this in your Thieves' Cant?

02:37:40.759 --> 02:37:40.860 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: DM. 02:37:40.940 --> 02:37:43.064 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, do you mean Thaddeus the Master? 02:37:43.224 --> 02:37:43.284 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: DM. 02:37:43.304 --> 02:37:43.565 [Riv (DM)]: Thaddeus. 02:37:44.045 --> 02:37:44.106 [Riv (DM)]: DM. 02:37:44.126 --> 02:37:44.226 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:37:44.506 --> 02:37:44.566 [Riv (DM)]: DM. 02:37:44.586 --> 02:37:44.847 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:37:46.230 --> 02:37:47.572 [Riv (DM)]: You and any creatures you designate. 02:37:47.632 --> 02:37:48.253 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that's really cool. 02:37:49.035 --> 02:37:49.255 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:37:49.275 --> 02:37:50.858 [Riv (DM)]: So, 02:37:51.479 --> 02:37:57.927 [Riv (DM)]: I will be happy to handwave this, but just a note for now, and actually for everyone as well, please listen. 02:37:59.048 --> 02:38:04.875 [Riv (DM)]: Keep an eye on your spells that ask for components that have a gold cost, because you need to actually have that component. 02:38:05.456 --> 02:38:12.144 [Riv (DM)]: So in this case it's saying you want a lead-based ink worth at least 10 gold, which gets consumed, so you actually would need to have that ink on hand. 02:38:14.387 --> 02:38:21.435 [Riv (DM)]: I'm happy to have handwaved it, like you could have just easily bought that at the magic shop or whatever the other day. 02:38:21.415 --> 02:38:49.920 [Riv (DM)]: but yep just good one to keep on keep note especially moving into the next few levels because once we get to level um you know level four spells that's when uh yeah things start getting expensive actually even third level sometimes could be quite expensive but cool i've done that i've written down the note um then i will like to 02:38:50.474 --> 02:38:52.440 [Riv (DM)]: Speak to Thaddeus. 02:38:52.460 --> 02:38:53.082 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:38:53.103 --> 02:39:00.045 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can find him in his main chambers at the head of the area. 02:39:04.683 --> 02:39:19.744 [Riv (DM)]: You can find, so if you recall at the very far end of the chamber there's like a waterfall that splits into two halves and there's a door in the very centre of the two waterfalls and behind that is where he will be and you can head on through there. 02:39:20.846 --> 02:39:34.605 [Riv (DM)]: The door itself isn't locked or anything and yeah he's just in there at the moment and currently he's at his desk but he's sort of sitting back just staring up at a bookcase very much lost in thought as you walk in. 02:39:40.643 --> 02:39:42.005 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Hey, hey, welcome to Molden Trading. 02:39:43.566 --> 02:39:44.788 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, Erendor. 02:39:44.808 --> 02:39:45.348 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, come in, come in. 02:39:45.388 --> 02:39:47.150 [Riv (DM)]: What can I, can I help you?

02:41:58.941 --> 02:42:03.607 [Riv (DM)]: I assume potentially that's also too risky, otherwise you would have considered that already? 02:42:07.371 --> 02:42:12.637 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If you know how to get a horse and a carriage to climb a wall, then I'll be all ears. 02:42:12.677 --> 02:42:21.246 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Otherwise, we could always attempt to have one or two people go out with the carriage. 02:42:21.462 --> 02:42:25.346 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Not a bad idea. 02:42:25.546 --> 02:42:27.048 [Riv (DM)]: There are a few other options. 02:42:29.150 --> 02:42:32.634 [Riv (DM)]: There's a man we use sometimes when we're trying to get things out of the city. 02:42:34.696 --> 02:42:37.079 [Riv (DM)]: The fisherman is what we call him. 02:42:37.879 --> 02:42:42.905 [Riv (DM)]: You can find him usually docked down by the river market around this time of the day, middayish. 02:42:43.906 --> 02:42:45.107 [Riv (DM)]: Holdar is his name. 02:42:45.880 --> 02:42:52.433 [Riv (DM)]: He'll take you out of the city if you cough up enough gold, depending on his mood of the day, could be a few hundred or more. 02:42:54.096 --> 02:42:59.046 [Riv (DM)]: Just find him, say that you're looking for a quick crew and he'll get you out. 02:43:00.511 --> 02:43:07.559 [Riv (DM)]: But if you aren't looking to lose any of your gold there is always the underrun. 02:43:07.619 --> 02:43:15.889 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you might be aware that beneath the city there's a vast network of sewers. 02:43:16.230 --> 02:43:27.683 [Riv (DM)]: The river itself has quite cleverly been constructed to flow into the sewer and wash waste out of the city underneath into deep reservoirs far beyond the city walls. 02:43:27.663 --> 02:43:54.987 [Riv (DM)]: We know a few tunnels you can take to get out but if you do wish to go that way you might run into the problem with the cart again and I would have to warn you that sometimes what shall we say not very savory things like to crawl in those dark places crawling from out of the city and take refuge in the dark places beneath the city but it's always another option. 02:44:03.877 --> 02:44:06.882 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Your input is greatly appreciated. 02:44:07.843 --> 02:44:15.434 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Honestly, we hadn't even thought of going over the wall. 02:44:18.259 --> 02:44:19.020 [Riv (DM)]: Could be risky. 02:44:19.040 --> 02:44:21.143 [Riv (DM)]: There's often guards walking. 02:44:22.945 --> 02:44:24.967 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I guess you've got a few options ahead of you. 02:44:25.007 --> 02:44:34.398 [Riv (DM)]: You can risk the main gate, cough up a few gold, get the fishermen to take you out, or risk the tunnels beneath the city. 02:44:35.379 --> 02:44:39.203 [Riv (DM)]: Sounds like most of these you're probably going to have to struggle with your cart though. 02:44:42.927 --> 02:44:47.673 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'll see how attached the others are to this cart. 02:44:47.693 --> 02:44:52.598 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I mean, it's useful for carrying chimeras, but other than that... 02:44:54.772 --> 02:44:55.753 [Riv (DM)]: Well, great. 02:44:57.455 --> 02:44:58.757 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Was there anything I could help you with? 02:44:59.198 --> 02:45:02.462 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You seemed a bit lost in thoughts. 02:45:03.923 --> 02:45:05.385 [Riv (DM)]: Can you tell me what you know about the girl? 02:45:09.651 --> 02:45:14.477 [Riv (DM)]: Did she say anything to you on your travels? 02:45:15.258 --> 02:45:15.918 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You mean Leah? 02:45:16.779 --> 02:45:20.784 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:45:20.804 --> 02:45:22.827 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: There wasn't a whole lot that she said. 02:45:22.867 --> 02:45:23.648 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: She kept to herself. 02:45:25.568 --> 02:45:29.136 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Almost the entire time when she wasn't trying to pickpocket my dagger. 02:45:34.849 --> 02:45:38.076 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I take it you're not surprised by that. 02:45:42.207 --> 02:45:46.891 [Riv (DM)]: Well, let me tell you what's been going on. 02:45:47.412 --> 02:45:50.274 [Riv (DM)]: I'm at a bit of a crossroads, honestly. 02:45:50.314 --> 02:45:54.838 [Riv (DM)]: It's been a while since I've had such a decision, to be honest. 02:45:56.660 --> 02:46:04.467 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you've heard of the break-in at the Bastion, and you must have put two and two together that it was us. 02:46:06.209 --> 02:46:09.852 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I have heard rumours, and I figured that was probably 02:46:10.456 --> 02:46:16.957 [Riv (DM)]: Well, that was Leah's big job. 02:46:16.997 --> 02:46:19.685 [Riv (DM)]: That was the main reason why she came with us, actually. 02:46:21.029 --> 02:46:22.474 [Riv (DM)]: We needed someone who could 02:46:24.158 --> 02:46:26.300 [Riv (DM)]: Get into a very, very tricky place. 02:46:27.041 --> 02:46:27.562 [Riv (DM)]: She was perfect. 02:46:29.063 --> 02:46:31.606 [Riv (DM)]: Small garbage disposal shoe on the side of the thing. 02:46:31.646 --> 02:46:33.288 [Riv (DM)]: No one else could fit through. 02:46:33.328 --> 02:46:34.610 [Riv (DM)]: Look, I won't bore you with the details. 02:46:35.310 --> 02:46:46.723 [Riv (DM)]: However, what it will tell you about, once the rest of the ravens were able to get inside, Leah was supposed to head back out, but she was nowhere to be found. 02:46:48.712 --> 02:47:01.684 [Riv (DM)]: The others carried on as I'm sure they did have no other options at the time to continue their mission which was to steal as much information on the Empire as possible and spread it around the city. 02:47:03.949 --> 02:47:06.636 [Riv (DM)]: Turns out Leah had her own little mission. 02:47:07.156 --> 02:47:11.340 [Riv (DM)]: She snuck into the General's quarters and tried to cut his throat. 02:47:12.762 --> 02:47:14.363 [Riv (DM)]: I'm surprised she even managed to get out alive. 02:47:15.985 --> 02:47:24.353 [Riv (DM)]: If he wasn't such a, gosh, stout-hearted man, I imagine she would have finished the job, but... 02:47:24.373 --> 02:47:26.595 [Riv (DM)]: I'm in a tricky situation now, Erendor. 02:47:29.638 --> 02:47:32.861 [Riv (DM)]: It's very difficult for me to trust the girl. 02:47:33.462 --> 02:47:34.463 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Understandable. 02:47:36.451 --> 02:47:40.254 [Riv (DM)]: Difficult to trust a girl who was given explicit orders. 02:47:40.334 --> 02:47:42.496 [Riv (DM)]: We weren't there to kill anyone. 02:47:43.797 --> 02:47:44.518 [Riv (DM)]: We were in and out. 02:47:44.598 --> 02:47:45.319 [Riv (DM)]: That was the mission. 02:47:47.741 --> 02:47:55.528 [Riv (DM)]: Ravens usually stand the order until they die or retire when they're too old to carry on. 02:47:57.770 --> 02:48:02.214 [Riv (DM)]: In some cases, we might have to execute a raven if they become too dangerous to trust. 02:48:03.455 --> 02:48:06.137 [Riv (DM)]: I don't feel good about executing an 11-year-old girl. 02:48:08.530 --> 02:48:10.832 [Riv (DM)]: And he just meets your eyes and just like leaves that hanging. 02:48:18.699 --> 02:48:30.691 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: There may be another option if he is removed from the ravens and placed into my care. 02:48:36.035 --> 02:48:37.677 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What assurance is what I have to Nikki? 02:48:39.310 --> 02:48:45.817 [Riv (DM)]: Well, the thing is, I need to be able to trust that our secrets can be kept secure. 02:48:47.499 --> 02:48:54.026 [Riv (DM)]: Someone of that age who follows their own path, shall we say? 02:48:55.868 --> 02:49:09.283 [Riv (DM)]: Pretty difficult to ensure that they keep the secrets they know to themselves. 02:49:12.723 --> 02:49:15.427 [Riv (DM)]: Look, we don't need to make any decisions right now. 02:49:15.808 --> 02:49:16.429 [Riv (DM)]: Just ponder it. 02:49:17.570 --> 02:49:18.352 [Riv (DM)]: She's not going anywhere. 02:49:19.573 --> 02:49:20.855 [Riv (DM)]: We're not going to take her out on any more jobs. 02:49:22.177 --> 02:49:26.304 [Riv (DM)]: She's going to stay here for now while I decide what to do with her. 02:49:26.845 --> 02:49:29.889 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe she can convince me herself that we should keep her around. 02:49:30.831 --> 02:49:32.433 [Riv (DM)]: But how about yourself? 02:49:32.453 --> 02:49:35.097 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you take this away as well and consider some options? 02:49:40.265 --> 02:49:40.806 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'll 02:49:43.891 --> 02:49:45.012 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'll keep this in mind. 02:49:45.954 --> 02:49:50.480 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I can't say that I've had any real indication that this would occur. 02:49:53.644 --> 02:49:53.724 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:49:53.744 --> 02:49:54.525 [Riv (DM)]: I was exactly the same. 02:49:54.966 --> 02:49:57.148 [Riv (DM)]: I thought she was definitely an up-and-comer. 02:49:57.188 --> 02:50:00.593 [Riv (DM)]: She excelled in all of the training she went through. 02:50:00.673 --> 02:50:02.355 [Riv (DM)]: She was beating people. 02:50:03.837 --> 02:50:07.442 [Riv (DM)]: People twice her age in some particular tasks. 02:50:08.163 --> 02:50:09.865 [Riv (DM)]: It's just... 02:50:10.402 --> 02:50:14.167 [Riv (DM)]: I actually didn't mention anything to you about why she wanted to just do this? 02:50:14.347 --> 02:50:15.088 [Riv (DM)]: Kill the general? 02:50:24.060 --> 02:50:24.160 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Hmm. 02:50:24.180 --> 02:50:27.204 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Outside of being moached to the notetaker, was there anything? 02:50:27.284 --> 02:50:31.229 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Because... That was a long time ago and I can't remember. 02:50:33.833 --> 02:50:33.913 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hmm. 02:50:33.933 --> 02:50:34.974 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: There may have been something. 02:50:39.120 --> 02:50:39.480 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 02:50:41.958 --> 02:50:46.805 [Riv (DM)]: She had alluded to her parents being killed back in Camaar. 02:50:47.426 --> 02:50:49.529 [Riv (DM)]: I think that was probably about all that you guys had spoken about. 02:50:54.336 --> 02:50:54.797 [Riv (DM)]: Well, anyway. 02:50:58.903 --> 02:50:59.244 [Riv (DM)]: We'll see. 02:50:59.384 --> 02:51:00.025 [Riv (DM)]: We'll see how we go. 02:51:00.566 --> 02:51:01.026 [Riv (DM)]: We'll ponder it. 02:51:01.046 --> 02:51:02.929 [Riv (DM)]: No hard and fast decisions for now. 02:51:04.892 --> 02:51:08.117 [Riv (DM)]: Is there anything else I can do for you? 02:51:11.270 --> 02:51:13.733 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Nothing up at the moment, I think. 02:51:13.753 --> 02:51:13.933 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 02:51:13.953 --> 02:51:14.454 [Riv (DM)]: Well, hey. 02:51:16.916 --> 02:51:17.377 [Riv (DM)]: Good luck. 02:51:17.817 --> 02:51:19.079 [Riv (DM)]: Good luck getting out of the city. 02:51:20.460 --> 02:51:23.343 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe try not to cause as much of a stir as the lads did last night, eh? 02:51:25.546 --> 02:51:26.887 [Riv (DM)]: Or, on the flip side, maybe do. 02:51:27.688 --> 02:51:31.072 [Riv (DM)]: Can't say that I wasn't excited to hear about it. 02:51:31.733 --> 02:51:34.215 [Riv (DM)]: It's just what the city needs right now is some show of resistance. 02:51:36.898 --> 02:51:37.839 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I mean, this is true. 02:51:38.300 --> 02:51:38.560 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: This is true. 02:51:40.160 --> 02:51:42.905 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: How many separate places can we get nails up at the same time? 02:51:45.631 --> 02:51:47.575 [Riv (DM)]: Are you seriously asking? 02:51:47.595 --> 02:51:48.617 [Riv (DM)]: Because there's probably quite a few. 02:51:53.186 --> 02:51:57.975 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You know, I don't know if I should. 02:51:59.919 --> 02:52:00.801 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:52:01.591 --> 02:52:04.575 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe a question better answered another time. 02:52:04.595 --> 02:52:06.357 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, maybe one for the drawing books. 02:52:07.438 --> 02:52:07.698 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:52:08.619 --> 02:52:09.240 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, good luck. 02:52:09.520 --> 02:52:10.161 [Riv (DM)]: Good luck, Erendor. 02:52:10.201 --> 02:52:11.302 [Riv (DM)]: I hope to see you again. 02:52:12.984 --> 02:52:16.689 [Riv (DM)]: And just know we're taking good care of your father as much as we can. 02:52:19.232 --> 02:52:22.335 [Riv (DM)]: He has actually asked for you a couple of times when he's come to, but... 02:52:22.496 --> 02:52:31.226 [Riv (DM)]: I'll let him know you dropped by. 02:52:31.246 --> 02:52:31.446 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Thank you. 02:52:32.810 --> 02:52:33.271 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:52:34.652 --> 02:52:35.373 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, excellent. 02:52:35.933 --> 02:52:37.876 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to head out or anything else you want to do here? 02:52:40.939 --> 02:52:42.240 [Riv (DM)]: I will head out. 02:52:42.721 --> 02:52:43.001 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:52:43.662 --> 02:52:43.882 [Riv (DM)]: Right. 02:52:45.604 --> 02:52:46.725 [Riv (DM)]: Perception check for me as you go on. 02:52:50.469 --> 02:52:54.554 [Riv (DM)]: Walking down past the river stream, shall we say. 02:52:59.159 --> 02:53:00.100 [Riv (DM)]: Great, yeah. 02:53:01.497 --> 02:53:07.764 [Riv (DM)]: You can make your way out nice and easy and head back up the stairs and out to meet the rest of your friends. 02:53:08.565 --> 02:53:15.132 [Riv (DM)]: You give the patron Miriel a nod on your way past and you are back out into the drizzling rain. 02:53:15.553 --> 02:53:21.399 [Riv (DM)]: It's about midday and further along the street you can see the rest of your companions in the cart. 02:53:24.443 --> 02:53:26.064 [Riv (DM)]: I will walk over to them. 02:53:26.084 --> 02:53:27.566 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:53:27.586 --> 02:53:28.467 [Riv (DM)]: Alright guys, what's the plan? 02:53:33.914 --> 02:53:34.595 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Back at the car. 02:53:37.097 --> 02:53:37.177 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep. 02:53:37.197 --> 02:53:37.457 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Okay. 02:53:39.479 --> 02:53:45.444 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: There's not a whole lot the Ravens can do specifically for us right now. 02:53:46.545 --> 02:53:55.534 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We've been given a few options, we've thought on ways we can get out of the city. 02:53:55.554 --> 02:54:00.578 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Um, what's there's the tunnels under the city, the sewers. 02:54:01.399 --> 02:54:02.520 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Don't really like the sewers. 02:54:03.293 --> 02:54:04.334 [Lacer (Kai)]: Very moist today. 02:54:04.374 --> 02:54:05.175 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Creepy crawlies. 02:54:06.336 --> 02:54:07.356 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Especially with the rain at the moment. 02:54:08.718 --> 02:54:09.358 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Not super nice. 02:54:12.080 --> 02:54:20.948 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: There's a potentially rather expensive way out via a boat in the harbour. 02:54:20.968 --> 02:54:26.613 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Alternatively, there's the gate. 02:54:27.654 --> 02:54:31.157 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Some of us through the gate, some of us potentially not through the gate. 02:54:31.277 --> 02:54:32.878 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Some of us maybe over the wall. 02:54:35.103 --> 02:54:36.625 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It kind of depends. 02:54:37.206 --> 02:54:38.908 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We could otherwise... 02:54:41.051 --> 02:54:43.074 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Depending on how much of a ruckus we wanted to make. 02:54:44.957 --> 02:54:47.280 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If we can draw some of the gate guards away. 02:54:49.083 --> 02:54:49.263 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You know? 02:54:50.986 --> 02:54:56.794 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Fireball set off into the distance and a nail set up, a nail illusion created again. 02:54:56.834 --> 02:54:59.558 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: As we're heading towards the gate. 02:55:01.701 --> 02:55:02.562 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It'd be tight timing. 02:55:03.976 --> 02:55:05.157 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, be very tight. 02:55:05.838 --> 02:55:07.279 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Especially since we've got a cart. 02:55:08.501 --> 02:55:10.483 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll be honest, I don't give a shit about the cart. 02:55:10.503 --> 02:55:13.306 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The only reason I'm holding onto it at the moment is to hide our little problem. 02:55:15.468 --> 02:55:15.708 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes. 02:55:19.252 --> 02:55:25.798 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Um... We would prefer to load the cart up with produce and bury the little problem. 02:55:26.199 --> 02:55:28.481 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And if they live, they live, and if they don't, they don't. 02:55:29.322 --> 02:55:33.426 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And if they're caught, then what's the spell we're doing in our cart? 02:55:35.903 --> 02:55:37.885 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We know what... 02:55:40.267 --> 02:55:41.988 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: There's a river running through the city. 02:55:42.509 --> 02:55:43.830 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What's at the end of the river? 02:55:44.651 --> 02:55:46.252 [Riv (DM)]: The Gulf of Miriel. 02:55:46.873 --> 02:55:47.634 [Riv (DM)]: Big river. 02:55:48.735 --> 02:55:49.435 [Riv (DM)]: If you have a look at the map. 02:55:49.455 --> 02:55:50.216 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It just goes out to sea? 02:55:51.237 --> 02:55:51.337 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:55:51.357 --> 02:55:52.458 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: There's no barrier. 02:55:55.601 --> 02:55:58.824 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, so there are... Actually, I don't think you would know. 02:55:59.104 --> 02:56:00.305 [Riv (DM)]: You wouldn't have explored that far down. 02:56:01.166 --> 02:56:03.588 [Riv (DM)]: Let me double check. 02:56:04.048 --> 02:56:05.910 [Riv (DM)]: Let me double check where the river's watch is. 02:56:06.498 --> 02:56:34.007 [Riv (DM)]: River's Watch is actually quite far down so you probably would have seen there are docks all the way along the southern shore of the city and there is no big gate or anything like that which covers the exit of the river into the main area but the docks are like quite you know usually quite manned so most ships would be kind of visible heading out by people. 02:56:37.177 --> 02:56:38.438 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Ah, that could be one option. 02:56:41.882 --> 02:56:43.623 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Personally, I'd rather do it quietly. 02:56:46.686 --> 02:56:48.989 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Any noise means they're gonna pursue? 02:56:51.431 --> 02:57:04.024 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Well, quiet means the boat, the sewers, or the gates and some fast talking for our friend. 02:57:04.044 --> 02:57:06.306 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think we burned up our fast talking on the way in. 02:57:07.028 --> 02:57:07.729 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Exactly. 02:57:07.809 --> 02:57:09.651 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I've seen them scanning down anyone. 02:57:09.771 --> 02:57:15.398 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I would not be surprised if they've got their magical detection wands over every card on the way out. 02:57:17.942 --> 02:57:24.950 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who knows, they might have some big magical things, not just potable hand wands at the gates, potentially. 02:57:30.477 --> 02:57:32.580 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yes. 02:57:33.083 --> 02:57:34.765 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How big's the wall? 02:57:35.066 --> 02:57:36.027 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm sure we've seen the wall. 02:57:36.047 --> 02:57:37.309 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've come in and out of it a few times. 02:57:37.610 --> 02:57:39.673 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's usually around 25-30 feet high. 02:57:41.215 --> 02:57:42.096 [Lacer (Kai)]: Holy crap. 02:57:42.817 --> 02:57:44.920 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't think we have enough climbing tools to climb up. 02:57:45.421 --> 02:57:46.903 [Lacer (Kai)]: 25-30 feet's nothing. 02:57:47.064 --> 02:57:49.908 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's like 10 metres. 02:57:49.928 --> 02:57:52.852 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The thing is, who needs to get out that way? 02:57:56.578 --> 02:57:58.180 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The dwarf is the only one, really. 02:57:59.425 --> 02:58:00.726 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Don't you know what the Dwarven do? 02:58:01.007 --> 02:58:02.548 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And who's the only one that can fly? 02:58:02.568 --> 02:58:05.912 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Exactly. 02:58:08.654 --> 02:58:13.740 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Might be our best bet to send him over at night in the dark and we'll get out our way. 02:58:22.028 --> 02:58:22.849 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not right. 02:58:22.869 --> 02:58:27.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: And that way we can keep the cart if people are still attached to the cart. 02:58:31.387 --> 02:58:34.190 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If the rest of us can get through the gate? 02:58:34.210 --> 02:58:37.072 [JC (Ryo)]: Does anyone have any idea what those wand things are that they're using? 02:58:39.374 --> 02:58:39.755 [JC (Ryo)]: No. 02:58:43.498 --> 02:58:51.505 [JC (Ryo)]: If they neutralize magic, my disguise self won't work, so... 02:58:51.525 --> 02:58:54.608 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: When they neutralize, I think they're just detecting, maybe? 02:58:55.509 --> 02:58:57.331 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:58:57.351 --> 02:59:01.174 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They shouldn't know what I look like, apart from my height. 02:59:08.140 --> 02:59:12.525 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So I imagine it's some sort of detect magic? 02:59:12.545 --> 02:59:13.906 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: But I... 02:59:13.926 --> 02:59:15.788 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't know if that would even work on me. 02:59:19.673 --> 02:59:24.037 [Riv (DM)]: I would just remind you that you have a runa in your forehead. 02:59:24.458 --> 02:59:25.719 [Riv (DM)]: Your arcane focus embedded. 02:59:27.041 --> 02:59:28.903 [Riv (DM)]: Which would definitely pick up magic. 02:59:29.023 --> 02:59:29.403 [Riv (DM)]: I do. 02:59:30.304 --> 02:59:32.046 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, is that a magic object? 02:59:32.967 --> 02:59:34.389 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Of course, of course it is, right. 02:59:36.731 --> 02:59:37.472 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, that'll do it. 02:59:40.034 --> 02:59:54.533 [Riv (DM)]: It can be dislodged, but there's like a little slot where it essentially clicks into, and every child of the Dwarven Arcanist school gets a slightly different design. 02:59:55.295 --> 03:00:00.181 [Riv (DM)]: They kind of customise it themselves, so only your runa can fit in your slot. 03:00:00.782 --> 03:00:03.105 [Riv (DM)]: But you can pop it out. 03:00:03.187 --> 03:00:07.753 [Riv (DM)]: It might not be detected then, but it would be fairly obvious that you've got kind of a hole in your forehead. 03:00:09.636 --> 03:00:10.697 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, it's just options. 03:00:13.101 --> 03:00:25.077 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay, so just so I'm clear, the hole having the mark on the forehead that we've discussed, in this world has that become a thing? 03:00:25.630 --> 03:00:26.532 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Uh, yeah, it is. 03:00:26.892 --> 03:00:27.794 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, and so... 03:00:27.814 --> 03:00:28.796 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay, thank you. 03:00:29.717 --> 03:00:34.105 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I just wasn't sure if I'd stumbled on something else or... okay. 03:00:34.125 --> 03:00:38.994 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, I just sort of wrote it in because, um, because you liked the idea of it and I thought it was cool. 03:00:39.155 --> 03:00:42.421 [Riv (DM)]: And also, um, the whole being able to pop it out thing. 03:00:43.563 --> 03:00:46.508 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, having a permanent arcane focus is a bit overpowered. 03:00:46.488 --> 03:00:51.053 [Riv (DM)]: You need to be able to have your arcane focus taken away from you if you're thrown in prison or something like that. 03:00:51.073 --> 03:00:52.495 [Riv (DM)]: So it's removable. 03:00:53.035 --> 03:01:05.890 [Riv (DM)]: I like the idea that there's an arcanist school inside Glimmerforge and every dwarf that goes through the school will craft their own runar. 03:01:06.310 --> 03:01:07.051 [Riv (DM)]: Spelled like this. 03:01:08.212 --> 03:01:13.999 [Riv (DM)]: R-U-H-A-R. With some accents above one of the letters I think. 03:01:14.559 --> 03:01:15.280 [Riv (DM)]: Accent above the A. 03:01:20.930 --> 03:01:40.816 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, we could try split and some through the gate, but given the security they had, which all went to shit, and they probably would have ramped it up since then, we've got a short one that doesn't want to be seen, a skinny one that doesn't want to be seen, one that doesn't like being seen in general. 03:01:45.362 --> 03:01:46.563 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's a lot of unseen. 03:01:47.384 --> 03:01:49.367 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Personally, I wouldn't want to 03:01:50.073 --> 03:01:53.358 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Run into them too many times, they might look a bit too closely. 03:01:54.459 --> 03:01:57.323 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How about... 03:01:59.606 --> 03:02:03.952 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'd rather just ditch the cart and leave en masse in silence if we can. 03:02:07.317 --> 03:02:11.062 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm happy to go for the wall if we think we can do that quietly at night. 03:02:11.563 --> 03:02:14.086 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There will be guard patrols and all that sort of shit we'll have to dodge. 03:02:15.508 --> 03:02:16.890 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Or we could give the tunnels a whirl. 03:02:18.338 --> 03:02:19.620 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not cleanest escape, but will be a plain escape. 03:02:19.640 --> 03:02:20.220 [Lacer (Kai)]: I like tunnels. 03:02:20.240 --> 03:02:21.682 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not cleanest, but will be a plain escape. 03:02:21.702 --> 03:02:22.483 [Lacer (Kai)]: But be quiet. 03:02:27.790 --> 03:02:29.612 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's... how about we roll? 03:02:29.713 --> 03:02:30.333 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's roll. 03:02:31.275 --> 03:02:35.340 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If we want to escape together as a group, I'd say the tunnels sound like the best idea. 03:02:36.421 --> 03:02:43.350 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Most of us have darkvision anyway, so... At risk of encountering a massive magical creature, 03:02:45.473 --> 03:02:46.254 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Wall or the hole? 03:02:46.574 --> 03:02:47.055 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Flip it going. 03:02:47.075 --> 03:02:49.538 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, someone roll a d2. 03:02:49.939 --> 03:02:50.840 [Lacer (Kai)]: Someone roll a d2. 03:02:51.721 --> 03:02:54.845 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, wait, before you roll it though, which is which? 03:02:54.865 --> 03:02:56.307 [Lacer (Kai)]: Uh, tunnels is 2. 03:02:59.311 --> 03:03:00.072 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wall is 1. 03:03:00.432 --> 03:03:00.853 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wall 1. 03:03:01.173 --> 03:03:01.714 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wall 1. 03:03:02.054 --> 03:03:02.555 [Lacer (Kai)]: Tunnels 2. 03:03:02.575 --> 03:03:05.779 [Riv (DM)]: You guys don't want to spend any gold? 03:03:08.422 --> 03:03:09.063 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wall it is. 03:03:09.303 --> 03:03:10.325 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're going the wall. 03:03:11.186 --> 03:03:11.346 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 03:03:14.313 --> 03:03:17.436 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yes, we'll make our way towards the Northern Wall. 03:03:17.456 --> 03:03:18.738 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's probably getting later in the day. 03:03:18.778 --> 03:03:20.940 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's probably about midday now. 03:03:22.822 --> 03:03:25.525 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So, let's... Travel time is long. 03:03:25.545 --> 03:03:27.107 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, let's talk about this. 03:03:27.127 --> 03:03:29.810 [Riv (DM)]: So, are you guys gonna just go for it now? 03:03:29.830 --> 03:03:31.191 [Riv (DM)]: Are we gonna do a bit of scouting now? 03:03:31.472 --> 03:03:32.973 [Riv (DM)]: Or are we gonna wait till evening? 03:03:35.676 --> 03:03:37.658 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can we scout it and then wait till evening? 03:03:38.239 --> 03:03:39.821 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:03:39.841 --> 03:03:40.261 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, totally. 03:03:40.822 --> 03:03:43.645 [Lacer (Kai)]: So we can see what we're looking at? 03:03:43.996 --> 03:03:47.541 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Am I talking myself into trouble if I say... 03:03:47.561 --> 03:03:51.087 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I imagine they are still searching the sissy. 03:03:51.888 --> 03:03:55.153 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So the longer we're here, the more danger we're in. 03:03:55.814 --> 03:03:56.214 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Correct. 03:04:00.300 --> 03:04:02.443 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We want to be out quick. 03:04:02.463 --> 03:04:08.873 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We've already taken this tinderbox 7 on fire and then shoved it full of fucking firewood and fireworks. 03:04:12.700 --> 03:04:13.281 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:04:15.805 --> 03:04:16.165 [Riv (DM)]: Please do it. 03:04:16.646 --> 03:04:17.307 [Riv (DM)]: Please go check it out. 03:04:18.188 --> 03:04:27.682 [Riv (DM)]: Someone in the game, please roll a d20 for me. 03:04:27.702 --> 03:04:28.744 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do it, Erendor. 03:04:29.044 --> 03:04:36.696 [Lacer (Kai)]: Erendor. 03:04:36.716 --> 03:04:36.876 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 03:04:37.056 --> 03:04:40.321 [Lacer (Kai)]: These mystery rolls are, like, amazing. 03:04:40.441 --> 03:04:42.184 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, what are we gonna get? 03:04:44.240 --> 03:04:48.425 [Riv (DM)]: Um, so the... 03:04:48.445 --> 03:04:54.253 [Riv (DM)]: This is an interesting one because you're heading up the, um... Why don't we jump back over here? 03:04:55.414 --> 03:04:56.175 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, where are we? 03:04:58.018 --> 03:05:00.240 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're trying to head up, upstream, right? 03:05:00.781 --> 03:05:03.945 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you're heading up, um, this direction. 03:05:04.746 --> 03:05:05.147 [Riv (DM)]: Oh gosh. 03:05:06.769 --> 03:05:08.130 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, I... yeah. 03:05:09.452 --> 03:05:12.576 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I guess we want... is there gates in the northern wall? 03:05:12.910 --> 03:05:14.572 [Riv (DM)]: Or a northern wall? 03:05:15.052 --> 03:05:15.753 [Riv (DM)]: Nope. 03:05:15.773 --> 03:05:18.176 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, so there is a wall that surrounds the entire city. 03:05:21.520 --> 03:05:23.702 [Riv (DM)]: The main gates are here and here. 03:05:26.145 --> 03:05:31.471 [Riv (DM)]: So you could travel up the Artisan Way and check out the wall up there. 03:05:32.292 --> 03:05:34.415 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I got real fancy about that. 03:05:34.435 --> 03:05:39.120 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, this is the Theatre of Dreams, one of the massive structures here. 03:05:39.657 --> 03:05:52.617 [Riv (DM)]: There would usually be a lot of people there's probably a performance on tonight but there are not lots of people and there is not a performance tonight because of the state of the city but a rickety cart heading through this part of town is probably going to draw a bit of attention. 03:05:57.986 --> 03:06:05.918 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean I could just fireball in the opposite direction and we just run away with everyone else. 03:06:07.855 --> 03:06:13.906 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And then they chase people out of the city but they're mounted on horses while we have a slow car. 03:06:16.631 --> 03:06:19.195 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We don't want to draw attention as we run because we all get run down. 03:06:19.496 --> 03:06:20.598 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We want to be gone quietly. 03:06:23.643 --> 03:06:31.197 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright at this stage I look at Dondar's feet and those ice blocks should have melted by now. 03:06:36.408 --> 03:06:43.139 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We don't have to go northern wall, we can go over like eastern wall but we just want to... How far are we from the wall going up this way? 03:06:45.663 --> 03:06:51.794 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably... so you would have been somewhere around this area in the middle. 03:06:52.335 --> 03:06:59.226 [Riv (DM)]: So it's probably actually 15-20 minutes to get to the to the theatre and then the wall is kind of just behind that. 03:07:06.125 --> 03:07:11.873 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I mean, it doesn't really matter as long as we find somewhere on the wall where we can get up and over that's away from guard towers and patrols. 03:07:15.318 --> 03:07:17.120 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do we know what the terrain is like outside the city? 03:07:18.202 --> 03:07:19.423 [Riv (DM)]: It's pretty flat. 03:07:19.443 --> 03:07:21.045 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, it's all flat grasslands here. 03:07:21.746 --> 03:07:22.227 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That's all great. 03:07:23.008 --> 03:07:24.050 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:07:24.070 --> 03:07:31.740 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Once we get over, it's going to be pretty obvious that there's people walking away across a big open field for quite a visual distance. 03:07:32.742 --> 03:07:35.305 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: However, with only two gates, 03:07:35.875 --> 03:07:37.437 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They're gonna be hard-pressed to chase us. 03:07:47.888 --> 03:07:51.892 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You know, other than the fact that they most likely have mounted scarves. 03:07:54.234 --> 03:07:55.836 [Lacer (Kai)]: And crossbows. 03:07:55.876 --> 03:07:56.877 [Lacer (Kai)]: Remember crossbows? 03:07:56.897 --> 03:07:57.918 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I point at my butt. 03:08:02.163 --> 03:08:04.465 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're not gonna talk about that. 03:08:07.280 --> 03:08:10.424 [Riv (DM)]: Shall we say that... Let's do this. 03:08:10.444 --> 03:08:11.886 [Riv (DM)]: So you guys wanted to go on Scout, right? 03:08:12.687 --> 03:08:13.508 [Riv (DM)]: Just to kind of check it out? 03:08:16.352 --> 03:08:22.681 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we say that you abandoned the cart in an alleyway or something and you were able to just kind of walk through the streets to get there just to look at it. 03:08:22.701 --> 03:08:26.105 [Riv (DM)]: Just so that you guys don't spend a lot of time sort of umming and ahhing about it. 03:08:28.288 --> 03:08:33.996 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, this part back here, the walls are a bit taller just because of the 03:08:33.976 --> 03:08:36.480 [Riv (DM)]: Nature of the terrain here, so you're looking at about 30 feet up. 03:08:36.900 --> 03:08:51.903 [Riv (DM)]: It's got your typical sort of armaments along and there are towers, not like, you know, a tower built on top of the wall, but just sort of like an enclosed lookout tower every sort of 400 feet or so, probably from the looks of things. 03:08:52.403 --> 03:08:54.466 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe in some places it might be a little bit further. 03:08:54.907 --> 03:09:02.278 [Riv (DM)]: So kind of if you were to look around, you could probably find a section of the wall that has like a good distance between 03:09:02.258 --> 03:09:06.183 [Riv (DM)]: Like probably at max five to six hundred feet between these little lookout areas. 03:09:06.823 --> 03:09:08.525 [Riv (DM)]: And there are guards patrolling. 03:09:09.887 --> 03:09:10.448 [Riv (DM)]: You know, maybe... 03:09:12.510 --> 03:09:18.617 [Riv (DM)]: There might be I think probably two guards just patrolling in each one of these stretches of wall. 03:09:19.018 --> 03:09:23.743 [Riv (DM)]: And you can sit there and watch and suss out their timings and stuff like that. 03:09:24.803 --> 03:09:28.647 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Access to the wall is only via towers or are they stairs? 03:09:29.207 --> 03:09:32.771 [Riv (DM)]: Correct, yeah, stairs that lead up the towers themselves. 03:09:39.558 --> 03:09:40.959 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Tunnels are looking more and more attractive. 03:09:41.620 --> 03:09:46.385 [Lacer (Kai)]: I know, the more time we wait, the higher chance of getting caught. 03:09:47.226 --> 03:09:53.612 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe if we just head underground, we can still make progress as the sun has still up. 03:09:56.512 --> 03:09:58.556 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, no one can see us go underground. 03:10:02.704 --> 03:10:13.445 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just the fact that we go up over there's a risk of detection and then once we hit the other side we've got a lot of open ground to cover while they're looking out and there's zero places to hide. 03:10:14.406 --> 03:10:15.769 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We'll get seen for sure. 03:10:17.723 --> 03:10:19.465 [Lacer (Kai)]: And they got heavy crossbows. 03:10:19.485 --> 03:10:22.808 [Lacer (Kai)]: Heavy crossbows should be pretty far from experience. 03:10:25.010 --> 03:10:28.114 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Best case, we'll be on foot and I'll have mounted chasers. 03:10:30.456 --> 03:10:34.020 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably mounted chasers wearing plate armour and with red cloaks flapping behind them. 03:10:36.002 --> 03:10:36.382 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 03:10:37.203 --> 03:10:37.403 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 03:10:37.703 --> 03:10:45.351 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think the best decision right now, since it's just past midday, is to head to the tunnels. 03:10:48.976 --> 03:10:49.957 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How do we get to the tunnels? 03:10:53.101 --> 03:10:55.103 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's a good question. 03:10:56.124 --> 03:10:59.829 [Riv (DM)]: You'll need a raven to take you to navigate through the underrun. 03:11:01.390 --> 03:11:01.931 [Riv (DM)]: But easy enough. 03:11:02.291 --> 03:11:05.956 [Riv (DM)]: Happy to hand wave that and go and grab one and we can head down if you guys like. 03:11:07.978 --> 03:11:10.000 [JC (Ryo)]: Can I head up a shop? 03:11:10.781 --> 03:11:11.402 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, absolutely. 03:11:11.422 --> 03:11:11.943 [JC (Ryo)]: It's on the way. 03:11:12.203 --> 03:11:12.944 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, what you looking for? 03:11:14.546 --> 03:11:15.827 [JC (Ryo)]: Let me bring it back up. 03:11:19.756 --> 03:11:33.932 [JC (Ryo)]: Um... Mistletoe, Spruce, and Powdered Corn Extract and Parchment. 03:11:33.952 --> 03:11:35.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sounds like a Christmas dinner. 03:11:36.755 --> 03:11:38.697 [Riv (DM)]: You're looking for, um... 03:11:38.717 --> 03:11:41.500 [JC (Ryo)]: Spell Independence or Pass Without Trace and Rope Trick. 03:11:41.900 --> 03:11:42.521 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 03:11:43.002 --> 03:11:44.583 [JC (Ryo)]: Cause my other spells are just verbal. 03:11:46.525 --> 03:11:48.868 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, does it consume him? 03:11:49.203 --> 03:11:52.130 [JC (Ryo)]: DM literally just said we need to make sure we have components. 03:11:52.491 --> 03:11:53.573 [Lacer (Kai)]: Only if they use gold. 03:11:53.954 --> 03:11:55.117 [Lacer (Kai)]: If it's got a gold cost. 03:11:55.137 --> 03:11:56.500 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, if it's got a gold cost? 03:11:56.601 --> 03:11:57.001 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 03:11:57.563 --> 03:11:58.746 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, these don't have a gold cost. 03:11:59.006 --> 03:12:00.630 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, these, that means you can reuse them. 03:12:03.412 --> 03:12:04.213 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, nevermind then. 03:12:04.974 --> 03:12:05.094 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 03:12:05.114 --> 03:12:08.318 [Riv (DM)]: Um, I think...

03:12:18.429 --> 03:12:19.711 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, there is a component pouch, yeah. 03:12:19.731 --> 03:12:24.036 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, well I need components for Pass Without a Trace and Rope Trick. 03:12:24.056 --> 03:12:26.719 [JC (Ryo)]: All my level 1 spells don't require components. 03:12:26.902 --> 03:12:30.709 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They have components, but they're not a gold cost component. 03:12:30.729 --> 03:12:33.535 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, even my level 2 ones don't have a gold cost against them. 03:12:33.555 --> 03:12:39.046 [JC (Ryo)]: It's Ashes from a Burntleaf, a Missile Trial, and a Sprig of Spruce for Buzz without a craze. 03:12:40.969 --> 03:12:43.915 [JC (Ryo)]: And one Extract and Twisted Lupin Parchment for the other one. 03:12:44.165 --> 03:12:50.061 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Every single spell in the game has a component, but they're usually hand-waved away as you've got a component pouch. 03:12:50.081 --> 03:12:54.394 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's only if the component has a noted gold cost that you need the specific item. 03:12:54.975 --> 03:12:59.608 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, well then I... do you want me to buy components pouch thing so I don't have one of them in my inventory? 03:13:00.162 --> 03:13:10.896 [Riv (DM)]: Or arcane focuses can be used in place of material components, but I'm just reading through the ranger, it doesn't say you need a focus or power. 03:13:10.916 --> 03:13:12.598 [JC (Ryo)]: Pretty sure I don't have an arcane focus. 03:13:12.678 --> 03:13:16.082 [Lacer (Kai)]: Magic, magic men without needing to do magic. 03:13:16.122 --> 03:13:20.067 [Riv (DM)]: By the time you reach level 2 you've learned to use the magical essence to cast spells. 03:13:21.029 --> 03:13:22.591 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, much as a druid does. 03:13:23.151 --> 03:13:24.673 [Riv (DM)]: Does that mean you need a druidic focus? 03:13:25.234 --> 03:13:26.215 [Lacer (Kai)]: Druids have a focus. 03:13:27.817 --> 03:13:30.000 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Official ruling, let's see. 03:13:29.980 --> 03:13:35.756 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, the Ranger doesn't have a spellcasting focus, the Trusting Component Couch will do the job. 03:13:36.778 --> 03:13:37.360 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 03:13:37.380 --> 03:13:38.403 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 03:13:39.085 --> 03:13:39.325 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 03:13:39.365 --> 03:13:40.328 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's pretty cheap. 03:13:42.552 --> 03:13:47.138 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean, we can easily say that you bought that ages ago. 03:13:47.739 --> 03:13:50.182 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Most of the bits and pieces are scavenged items anyway. 03:13:50.523 --> 03:13:50.863 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, exactly. 03:13:50.883 --> 03:13:53.366 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Which are usually, when you actually look at what they are, a bit of a meme. 03:13:54.468 --> 03:13:56.110 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's really pretty funny. 03:13:56.130 --> 03:14:01.117 [Riv (DM)]: Just cross off 25 gold for the component pouch and we'll just say that you had that a while back when you leveled up. 03:14:01.778 --> 03:14:03.480 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I was just going to ask you how much. 03:14:04.726 --> 03:14:06.769 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, cool. 03:14:06.829 --> 03:14:09.953 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Like Longstrider, the component is a pinch of dirt. 03:14:10.894 --> 03:14:17.022 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: If you look at most of the spells, there is actually a bit of a joke behind what the components are. 03:14:17.042 --> 03:14:18.303 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Like Bane is a drop of blood. 03:14:19.325 --> 03:14:21.468 [JC (Ryo)]: Look at what Fireball is. 03:14:23.090 --> 03:14:24.892 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fireball is batshit. 03:14:27.055 --> 03:14:28.597 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's batshit crazy. 03:14:29.278 --> 03:14:32.742 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Potassium Nitrate, which is a component of Gunpowder. 03:14:33.920 --> 03:14:35.883 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If you're in a desert, there might not be any dirt. 03:14:37.805 --> 03:14:38.165 [Riv (DM)]: That's true. 03:14:38.987 --> 03:14:39.667 [Riv (DM)]: It'd just be sand. 03:14:40.308 --> 03:14:40.809 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 03:14:40.929 --> 03:14:46.216 [Riv (DM)]: So, at this point, Erndor will probably need to go and grab a raven, which is easy enough to do. 03:14:47.237 --> 03:14:49.981 [Riv (DM)]: Someone is happy to come and show you the way. 03:14:50.001 --> 03:14:55.067 [Riv (DM)]: Do you guys want to do the underrun now, or would you like to save that for next time? 03:14:55.468 --> 03:14:57.210 [Riv (DM)]: Just because it's starting to get a bit late. 03:14:57.781 --> 03:15:00.146 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It'll probably be a bit of a thing, I would guess. 03:15:00.767 --> 03:15:04.655 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And I'm going to imagine you don't have a dungeon crawl prepared. 03:15:04.916 --> 03:15:05.778 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: What do you mean?! 03:15:08.223 --> 03:15:09.946 [Riv (DM)]: I actually do have a dungeon crawl prepared. 03:15:09.986 --> 03:15:11.209 [Riv (DM)]: Not that there's going to be a dungeon. 03:15:11.389 --> 03:15:12.512 [Riv (DM)]: I've got stuff prepared. 03:15:12.552 --> 03:15:13.053 [Riv (DM)]: Don't you worry. 03:15:13.433 --> 03:15:14.676 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You're sharp. 03:15:14.656 --> 03:15:17.220 [Riv (DM)]: But it's gonna be fine. 03:15:17.381 --> 03:15:18.302 [Riv (DM)]: There won't be any problems. 03:15:18.322 --> 03:15:30.643 [Lacer (Kai)]: You'll just get straight through Fireball under the city Fireball doesn't make sound. 03:15:31.404 --> 03:15:32.205 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 03:15:32.225 --> 03:15:32.766 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, it doesn't 03:15:34.788 --> 03:15:45.461 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, no, in all seriousness, happy to keep going if you guys want to, just considering we haven't had heaps of time playing lately, or alternatively very happy to pause here as well. 03:15:47.824 --> 03:15:53.771 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, we haven't killed anything recently, so it'd be ideal to not get into a dungeon. 03:15:54.191 --> 03:15:58.296 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think I'll get longer, but I definitely need Coffee Break. 03:15:59.598 --> 03:16:01.420 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, I'm not far from through to Rival. 03:16:04.808 --> 03:16:05.909 [Riv (DM)]: Say again, JC? 03:16:06.190 --> 03:16:07.752 [JC (Ryo)]: How do I add something again? 03:16:09.754 --> 03:16:12.077 [Riv (DM)]: You want to go to the compendiums on the far. 03:16:12.758 --> 03:16:20.328 [JC (Ryo)]: Compendiums, D&D, SRD, Content, Items and Spells, Items, Components, Powers, but I can't just drag and drop it into my inventory. 03:16:21.369 --> 03:16:22.170 [Lacer (Kai)]: You should be able to. 03:16:22.190 --> 03:16:22.591 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh really?

03:20:21.875 --> 03:20:23.277 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I think so. 03:20:23.297 --> 03:20:23.758 [Riv (DM)]: Nice.
