20:18.511 --> 20:21.174 [Riv (DM)]: Go invisible, fly to the top, smash it in and then get out of there. 20:21.635 --> 20:27.122 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately, the Ember Spire has an enchantment making all magic nullified within 5 feet of it. 20:27.883 --> 20:38.035 [Riv (DM)]: So Erendor flew to the top, immediately became visible, immediately became unable to fly, and after a bit of shenanigans, fell 100 feet to the bottom. 20:38.015 --> 20:56.530 [Riv (DM)]: Cracked a few ribs and a bit of very very fast talking from Vaeloran managed to convince the senior ember warden who came out to investigate what on earth was going on that Erendor is just a bit special and he just likes climbing things he doesn't really know what's going on 20:56.510 --> 21:07.627 [Riv (DM)]: So after a bit of suspicion, a bit of smooth talking, you were able to get away and reconvene in some side alley behind a house. 21:08.408 --> 21:15.258 [Riv (DM)]: And so that's probably where we're going to pick up, with the goal in mind being how on earth are we going to get this piton stuck into the Ember Spire before tonight. 21:16.360 --> 21:19.024 [Riv (DM)]: He had a few ideas, but 21:19.291 --> 21:21.315 [Riv (DM)]: This is where I will pass it over to you guys. 21:21.495 --> 21:33.058 [Riv (DM)]: Erendor's sort of sitting down, lying against the side of the building, puffing a bit and just clutching onto his broken ribs, while the rest of you are sort of scratching your heads around what to do next. 21:34.020 --> 21:36.625 [Riv (DM)]: Now, as we spoke about before, 21:36.605 --> 21:39.710 [Riv (DM)]: I rolled the wrong damage. 21:39.950 --> 21:42.013 [Riv (DM)]: I rolled 3d6 when it should have been 10d6. 21:42.054 --> 21:49.485 [Riv (DM)]: So I'll roll another 7 and you can subtract this as well from your health Erendor. 21:49.505 --> 21:49.886 [Riv (DM)]: Good luck. 21:51.949 --> 21:52.410 [Riv (DM)]: 1s. 21:53.051 --> 21:54.473 [Riv (DM)]: Oh a couple 1s. 21:54.493 --> 21:55.234 [Riv (DM)]: Oh that's not too bad. 21:56.096 --> 21:58.099 [Riv (DM)]: That's well under average so there you go. 21:58.119 --> 21:59.541 [Riv (DM)]: Cross off another 20. 22:04.060 --> 22:06.102 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, yeah, exactly. 22:06.242 --> 22:13.411 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Like I said, I... You know, considering... Actually, I have a question before I do this math. 22:14.232 --> 22:20.158 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: My temp HP, is that still there after the tower nullifying field or not? 22:22.120 --> 22:25.104 [Riv (DM)]: I believe it's not a magical effect when it's Inspiring Leader. 22:26.886 --> 22:31.211 [Riv (DM)]: But the question would be, did you do that in the morning, Valeran? 22:31.251 --> 22:32.312 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do you remember? 22:32.545 --> 22:33.266 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Typically you do. 22:33.666 --> 22:37.451 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And you didn't take any... Did he take any... Actually no, because we had to combat and then came home. 22:38.572 --> 22:42.337 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Just as a general rule of thumb, I'd consider it as like something that happens every morning. 22:43.858 --> 22:43.958 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 22:43.978 --> 22:46.722 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Check everyone's gear and make sure everyone's ready to roll for the day. 22:47.062 --> 22:49.305 [Riv (DM)]: Do you have to roll it every time or is it consistent? 22:49.405 --> 22:50.706 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's a set number. 22:50.887 --> 22:51.267 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 22:51.407 --> 22:53.810 [Riv (DM)]: So you could probably all just chuck your 10 HP on there. 22:53.910 --> 22:56.293 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Level plus Charisma mod. 22:56.313 --> 22:56.453 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 22:56.473 --> 22:56.593 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet. 22:56.613 --> 23:00.578 [Riv (DM)]: So what I'll do is I'll just subtract another 10 health then, Earendor. 23:01.891 --> 23:03.413 [Riv (DM)]: And then Secret Team Pre to Zero. 23:04.194 --> 23:06.737 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Can you... what's the Rogue Defensive? 23:08.579 --> 23:09.820 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Say again? 23:09.840 --> 23:10.902 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's the Rogue Defensive. 23:11.062 --> 23:15.427 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, I don't know if that applies to... Uncanny, Dodge. 23:15.487 --> 23:15.888 [Riv (DM)]: The Dodge. 23:16.048 --> 23:18.150 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I think that's Rogue Defensive. 23:18.371 --> 23:24.578 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Area of Effect with Dex Roll, Save and Attacks You See. 23:25.078 --> 23:26.380 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Target Attacks You See coming. 23:27.035 --> 23:30.320 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, you definitely saw it coming. 23:30.340 --> 23:32.264 [Lacer (Kai)]: The floor was coming towards you. 23:32.284 --> 23:32.945 [Riv (DM)]: It was an area. 23:33.125 --> 23:33.766 [Riv (DM)]: Very big area. 23:33.806 --> 23:35.449 [Riv (DM)]: You saw the planet heading towards you. 23:36.250 --> 23:39.395 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think we can un-king dodge smashing into the ground from 100 feet. 23:40.557 --> 23:41.058 [Lacer (Kai)]: Parkour. 23:41.078 --> 23:42.100 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's gonna parkour. 23:44.344 --> 23:46.668 [Riv (DM)]: No barbarian that can just rage and ignore the ground. 23:46.688 --> 23:47.589 [Riv (DM)]: Rage while falling. 23:47.609 --> 23:48.010 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, exactly. 23:48.971 --> 23:49.532 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty, cool. 23:49.773 --> 23:51.295 [Riv (DM)]: So, here we go. 23:51.355 --> 23:52.036 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan, guys? 23:52.077 --> 23:53.599 [Riv (DM)]: How are we gonna do this? 23:54.119 --> 23:59.747 [Riv (DM)]: It's currently about midday after shopping around a bit and getting a few jobs done. 24:00.427 --> 24:02.831 [Riv (DM)]: So we've got the rest of the day to plan and figure out what we're doing. 24:03.812 --> 24:06.275 [Lacer (Kai)]: So we're all together now, right, in this alley? 24:06.656 --> 24:07.537 [Riv (DM)]: All grouped up, yep. 24:07.697 --> 24:10.321 [Riv (DM)]: And the weather is actually starting to become a bit reasonable. 24:10.501 --> 24:15.948 [Riv (DM)]: The fog and, you know, overlying cloud that's been there for the last couple of days is starting to clear a bit. 24:15.968 --> 24:19.553 [Riv (DM)]: You're starting to see some of the sky poke through, a little bit of sun, a few sun rays. 24:21.170 --> 24:24.534 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to check Eryndor, see how bad he is. 24:26.716 --> 24:28.057 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, how bad do you feel, Eryndor? 24:29.679 --> 24:31.261 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, I mean, I'm not feeling that great. 24:31.321 --> 24:33.904 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It was a bit of a fall, but I've been worse. 24:35.846 --> 24:38.108 [Riv (DM)]: Did you cross off the extra team? 24:38.849 --> 24:39.750 [Riv (DM)]: I didn't see your health go down. 24:40.651 --> 24:42.653 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, it's 38 out of 60 at the moment. 24:43.574 --> 24:44.235 [Riv (DM)]: Oh. 24:44.255 --> 24:45.396 [Riv (DM)]: Strange it isn't updated on mine. 24:46.797 --> 24:49.320 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I've noticed that a handful of times on it that it's not. 24:49.553 --> 24:51.355 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I'll do a reload. 24:51.375 --> 24:51.855 [Riv (DM)]: It's all good. 24:54.818 --> 24:55.138 [Lacer (Kai)]: All right. 24:55.399 --> 25:03.366 [Lacer (Kai)]: I see the blood gushing out of Erendor's mouth, and I quickly go into my chalice form. 25:05.709 --> 25:05.949 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait. 25:06.469 --> 25:08.271 [Lacer (Kai)]: Stars spiral down your arms. 25:09.833 --> 25:14.037 [Lacer (Kai)]: And then I give her a pat on the shoulder, and I cast Cure Loons at her. 25:14.057 --> 25:17.400 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Let's roll it. 25:22.882 --> 25:28.392 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Honestly Kai, you're making it very difficult to turn to the dark side if you're going to keep healing people. 25:30.175 --> 25:31.898 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was never... what were you talking about? 25:32.198 --> 25:33.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was never dark side. 25:34.001 --> 25:35.584 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have no idea what you're talking about. 25:39.331 --> 25:44.280 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's see, how does Michalis work again? 25:44.300 --> 25:46.864 [Riv (DM)]: You get an extra 1d8 I think every time you heal someone. 25:49.966 --> 25:53.774 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I'm trying to... Starry Fork... 25:53.794 --> 26:04.718 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's something plus my thing. 26:17.287 --> 26:18.008 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, okay. 26:18.228 --> 26:20.491 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, 1d8 plus wisdom modifier. 26:20.511 --> 26:21.332 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 26:21.373 --> 26:29.724 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let me roll a d8. 26:29.744 --> 26:36.793 [Lacer (Kai)]: 2 plus my wisdom modifier, which is... 4. 26:37.214 --> 26:37.955 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, 6. 26:37.975 --> 26:38.876 [Lacer (Kai)]: You get an additional 6. 26:39.958 --> 26:40.378 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wonderful. 26:42.942 --> 26:44.003 [Lacer (Kai)]: You feeling better? 26:44.388 --> 26:45.429 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, significantly. 26:46.050 --> 26:46.851 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or do you need more? 26:46.871 --> 26:47.652 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you need more? 26:47.672 --> 26:48.252 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you need more?

27:00.947 --> 27:06.433 [Lacer (Kai)]: I saw you for a second and then you just kinda tumbled and dropped down like a rock. 27:07.575 --> 27:11.239 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Well, so uh, you got the problem in one. 27:12.560 --> 27:13.281 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You saw me. 27:16.248 --> 27:18.491 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you just like magically appeared. 27:19.813 --> 27:21.035 [Lacer (Kai)]: I thought you were invisible. 27:21.055 --> 27:22.417 [Lacer (Kai)]: Demagically. 27:23.939 --> 27:24.580 [Lacer (Kai)]: I couldn't fly. 27:26.302 --> 27:30.028 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, that makes sense. 27:30.048 --> 27:36.878 [Lacer (Kai)]: What, um, how are we gonna get this up there to make this thing for you when you get back up there again? 27:36.898 --> 27:39.521 [Lacer (Kai)]: It doesn't need to be up there. 27:41.424 --> 27:44.128 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Um, looking at the tower is how 27:45.037 --> 27:46.659 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is it build out of blocks? 27:46.679 --> 27:48.721 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How tight are the gaps between blocks, if there are blocks? 27:49.722 --> 27:50.963 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, lots of bricks. 27:51.123 --> 27:54.366 [Riv (DM)]: They're ancient looking stone, you know, bits of stone. 27:54.747 --> 27:57.469 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them might be foot wide, some of them might be smaller. 27:57.509 --> 27:58.650 [Riv (DM)]: They're not very consistent. 27:58.711 --> 28:00.913 [Riv (DM)]: That's sort of... yeah. 28:02.074 --> 28:06.458 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: But it's not space alien engineering where you can't fit a knife blade between it? 28:06.478 --> 28:06.979 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Nah, no way. 28:11.763 --> 28:13.305 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The other alternative is... 28:14.028 --> 28:17.731 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Big heavy crossbow and we get our expert marksman there to punch one in at distance. 28:19.853 --> 28:24.438 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Getting close is going to be tricky and hammering is also going to be tricky. 28:24.458 --> 28:25.339 [Lacer (Kai)]: Got one shot. 28:25.639 --> 28:27.661 [Lacer (Kai)]: We have one shot if it's crossbow, right? 28:28.461 --> 28:29.142 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's a good shot. 28:32.725 --> 28:35.508 [Lacer (Kai)]: Anyone got a heavy crossbow by any chance? 28:38.150 --> 28:40.913 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm sure a certain dwarf could make one for us. 28:41.888 --> 28:44.952 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We're in a town of monster hunters, I'm pretty sure we could buy one pretty cheap. 28:46.754 --> 28:52.741 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know, last night, didn't we get attacked by some people who had some stuff like that? 28:56.165 --> 28:56.986 [Riv (DM)]: You did, yeah. 28:57.306 --> 28:58.408 [Riv (DM)]: There were some people with crossbows. 28:59.949 --> 29:01.411 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Were they heavy crossbows or just crossbows? 29:02.052 --> 29:06.657 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm only going heavy because we're trying to drive a spike and they're all like bricks, we need something chunky. 29:07.859 --> 29:11.423 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we need something with a lot of piercing power. 29:12.263 --> 29:13.465 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, we just need good aim. 29:13.485 --> 29:15.187 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If there's a gap already, we could get it in. 29:22.237 --> 29:23.999 [Lacer (Kai)]: What are your thoughts on this, Rio? 29:24.019 --> 29:26.723 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you want to test it out with an arrow? 29:26.743 --> 29:32.811 [Lacer (Kai)]: See if you can shoot an arrow with like a big... 29:32.831 --> 29:36.336 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can give you a piton and we can do a mock one and see if it works. 29:36.356 --> 29:41.443 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Preferably not the active tower. 29:43.938 --> 29:49.247 [JC (Ryo)]: I was going to say, I mean, I'm not that keen on doing this. 29:49.327 --> 29:51.691 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't, like I said, I don't want to piss off the Duskwardens. 29:53.654 --> 29:57.480 [JC (Ryo)]: And you've already, when I was coming back, you were talking to a Duskwarden. 29:57.501 --> 29:58.642 [JC (Ryo)]: So what, what happened? 29:59.925 --> 30:01.187 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, just a point of clarification. 30:01.227 --> 30:08.919 [Riv (DM)]: There was an Emberwarden, one of the, um, one of the people of Cloth that maintains the Spire, separate faction from the Duskwardens. 30:08.940 --> 30:09.460 [Riv (DM)]: Oh shit, okay. 30:09.480 --> 30:09.861 [Riv (DM)]: You're different. 30:16.220 --> 30:19.684 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We tried to make it magical, but tower says no to magic. 30:22.587 --> 30:26.191 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Tower says no to magic, ground says no to Erendor. 30:26.971 --> 30:27.932 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I thought the ground said yes. 30:28.293 --> 30:29.234 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Very lovely. 30:30.675 --> 30:33.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nice big hug, eh? 30:33.618 --> 30:36.321 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I could try shooting a bow. 30:36.441 --> 30:38.023 [JC (Ryo)]: Erendor could try shooting a bow. 30:38.043 --> 30:39.865 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, mine's bigger, but... 30:40.823 --> 30:44.128 [JC (Ryo)]: I can try to shoot a bow, and it is. 30:44.909 --> 30:49.675 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I just don't know if a longbow, because a platen is... 30:49.695 --> 30:51.518 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's a good bit of rivers of rock climbing here. 30:51.658 --> 30:52.739 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: They're a chunky bit of metal. 30:53.400 --> 30:53.520 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 30:54.782 --> 31:01.591 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, they're going to throw out my arrows, you know, flight, and people are going to see an arrow flying through the air. 31:01.611 --> 31:04.135 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 31:04.555 --> 31:05.957 [Lacer (Kai)]: Arrows fly pretty fast, don't they? 31:07.199 --> 31:08.721 [Lacer (Kai)]: We could turn the arrow invisible. 31:11.030 --> 31:13.212 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's been arrows sticking out of the side of the tower. 31:13.993 --> 31:17.076 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Well, we don't do it right now, we do it at night. 31:17.397 --> 31:21.901 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do we know what time the special thingy is meant to occur? 31:24.204 --> 31:29.209 [Riv (DM)]: Um, I think you haven't explicitly spoken to anyone about that yet. 31:31.812 --> 31:32.693 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm, we should ask. 31:33.774 --> 31:39.720 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe we should go back to our aspiring artificer slash and or mage of troublemaking. 31:41.050 --> 31:43.252 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: About when exactly it needs to be in. 31:46.856 --> 31:49.579 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you might want to clean yourself up a bit, Eryndor. 31:49.719 --> 31:55.806 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're a bit bloody here and there after taking that big belly flop from up there. 32:08.980 --> 32:09.100 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And... 32:11.341 --> 32:28.679 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, my thinking is that we just, out of character, buff the shit out of the ranger, give him the help action, heavy crossbow with the head being swapped out for the python, and then punch it in at night, basically just as everything's about to pop off so that there is less time for things to go wrong. 32:29.420 --> 32:32.363 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It is one shot that is making the most out of that one shot. 32:33.885 --> 32:34.986 [JC (Ryo)]: Also out of character. 32:35.270 --> 32:39.636 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't know if it matters or not, my guide isn't crossbow proficient. 32:40.056 --> 32:41.538 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You're not proficient with martial weapons? 32:41.558 --> 32:42.920 [JC (Ryo)]: Unless it's simple or martial. 32:43.300 --> 32:45.844 [JC (Ryo)]: Unless it's martial, I am not commissioned. 32:45.864 --> 32:46.625 [JC (Ryo)]: It's a martial weapon. 32:48.487 --> 32:51.611 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can use martial weapons too, but my aim is probably bad. 32:57.218 --> 33:00.923 [Lacer (Kai)]: You know what, let's try and get a crossbow first. 33:04.852 --> 33:09.598 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We could always find an anvil and see if we can hammer the point of the pin on, make it sharper. 33:14.264 --> 33:14.705 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Pretty pointy. 33:16.347 --> 33:16.447 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay. 33:20.813 --> 33:23.337 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I guess we wander through the market and try and find a heavy crossbow. 33:24.598 --> 33:25.640 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Ask anyone for some objections. 33:27.202 --> 33:27.522 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Cool. 33:27.542 --> 33:31.247 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe on the way to visit Belinda Troublemaker. 33:34.349 --> 33:34.769 [Riv (DM)]: Or any. 33:35.250 --> 33:38.934 [Riv (DM)]: You head off, pull yourselves up and start heading back through the market. 33:39.655 --> 33:43.659 [Riv (DM)]: At this point more and more people have flocked to the sort of central market area. 33:44.380 --> 33:45.421 [Riv (DM)]: It's known as the Ember Market. 33:45.842 --> 33:51.648 [Riv (DM)]: More stalls have popped up now and you can see like kids running past sort of like chasing each other laughing. 33:52.549 --> 34:03.782 [Riv (DM)]: And here and there you can see not just stalls but it looks like people are starting to have little mini celebrations and there are these little games and events that are popping up you can see just over to the side there. 34:03.762 --> 34:23.721 [Riv (DM)]: Pointing away from the main marker area there are a bunch of these crates and you can see a few people have lined up and the person at the front of the line is holding this little mini bow and they're like shooting sticks at little pictures, little cardboard cutouts of creatures that kids are holding up from behind the carts and you can see there's a bit of competition going where they can, you know, try and see how many they can hit. 34:24.662 --> 34:30.108 [Riv (DM)]: Over the side you can see someone's like smashing a hammer to try and make a ball hit the bell up at the top of the thing. 34:30.448 --> 34:33.651 [Riv (DM)]: Just a few little events and celebrations and stuff like that. 34:33.631 --> 34:36.317 [Riv (DM)]: Sounds very noisy. 34:38.322 --> 34:39.886 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, people are people in good spirits. 34:44.958 --> 34:49.148 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We swing back here afterwards and see if we can pick up a few coins. 34:50.250 --> 34:51.032 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Check the area. 34:53.375 --> 34:55.177 [Riv (DM)]: Wandering through the market, down the other side. 34:55.237 --> 35:00.362 [Riv (DM)]: If you were looking for weapons, best bet would probably be going back to the forge. 35:00.863 --> 35:03.545 [Riv (DM)]: And that would be on the way to Belinda's place anyway. 35:04.827 --> 35:12.234 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, you can head off down the street and bring your way down onto the road that you've been there a few times now. 35:12.655 --> 35:17.219 [Riv (DM)]: And I guess first up on your right would be the forge. 35:17.360 --> 35:20.263 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to stop in there first or are we going to go straight to Belinda's place? 35:20.843 --> 35:22.605 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think we should stop before we go in. 35:24.003 --> 35:25.304 [Lacer (Kai)]: I nudge Rio. 35:25.665 --> 35:27.687 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're going to see your good old mate Doric. 35:31.471 --> 35:32.792 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm not going inside right now. 35:33.232 --> 35:35.194 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was about to say, can you keep it in your pants for tonight? 35:39.339 --> 35:42.862 [JC (Ryo)]: If you guys want to hang around town a bit longer, no, I'll stay out here. 35:44.784 --> 35:45.485 [JC (Ryo)]: Fair enough, fair enough. 35:46.326 --> 35:48.508 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you think we're going to be able to do both objectives? 35:50.730 --> 35:52.592 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's the second objective? 35:53.669 --> 35:56.796 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Kill the Dwarf, or bangin' the Penon. 35:58.380 --> 36:00.865 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 36:00.885 --> 36:06.037 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Depending on how much of a clusterfuck the tapping the Sacred Artifact Tower goes. 36:08.904 --> 36:10.868 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, let's get this clusterfuck. 36:12.333 --> 36:12.613 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 36:13.575 --> 36:14.235 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can head in. 36:15.477 --> 36:17.860 [Riv (DM)]: Dorek is currently not working at the forge. 36:18.201 --> 36:21.725 [Riv (DM)]: You can see him, he's just sort of pottering away and tidying up a few shelves and stuff like that. 36:21.805 --> 36:24.008 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like he hasn't got any work requests today. 36:24.469 --> 36:27.633 [Riv (DM)]: And he looks up as he sees you come in. 36:29.275 --> 36:29.716 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, friends. 36:30.537 --> 36:32.219 [Riv (DM)]: Strangers again from yesterday, right? 36:33.160 --> 36:34.041 [Riv (DM)]: You back for more? 36:34.642 --> 36:36.805 [Riv (DM)]: Any work you need done? 36:38.624 --> 36:42.449 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably gonna go out into the forest at some stage. 36:42.609 --> 36:44.531 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Might chase something a bit bigger and nastier. 36:45.452 --> 36:46.494 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You have a heavy crossbow. 36:46.594 --> 36:51.760 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Looking for something that can take down, maybe not a siege gate, but something big. 36:52.421 --> 36:52.922 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Big and chunky. 36:53.963 --> 36:54.223 [Riv (DM)]: Awesome. 36:54.343 --> 36:55.204 [Riv (DM)]: Very brave of you. 36:55.925 --> 36:57.027 [Riv (DM)]: You did mention your mercenaries. 36:59.209 --> 37:00.891 [Riv (DM)]: You're missing one of your party. 37:02.013 --> 37:03.855 [Riv (DM)]: They were five of you last time, weren't they? 37:05.303 --> 37:06.605 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, he's outside. 37:06.805 --> 37:09.890 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's enjoying the festivities. 37:10.511 --> 37:11.192 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, fair enough. 37:12.273 --> 37:13.195 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see what I've got for you. 37:14.036 --> 37:14.557 [Riv (DM)]: He's out the back. 37:15.498 --> 37:16.960 [Riv (DM)]: He has some rustling, some clanking. 37:17.421 --> 37:20.045 [Riv (DM)]: He comes back out and he has a big ol' looking crossbow. 37:21.106 --> 37:22.609 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, I think this will do you well. 37:22.809 --> 37:23.891 [Riv (DM)]: Got plenty of these around here. 37:24.031 --> 37:25.593 [Riv (DM)]: They're a favourite among the Duskwardens. 37:26.474 --> 37:28.898 [Riv (DM)]: A piece like this will set you back about 50 gold. 37:30.430 --> 37:33.794 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Get a packet of bolts with it as well?

38:16.099 --> 38:16.239 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 38:16.720 --> 38:17.241 [Lacer (Kai)]: Should be enough. 38:18.883 --> 38:19.765 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The Ludd money. 38:22.008 --> 38:23.691 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dirty money. 38:24.582 --> 38:28.547 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Removed from bag of holding, and I'll grab a heavy crossbow and some bolts. 38:30.750 --> 38:35.797 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 38:35.817 --> 38:37.560 [Riv (DM)]: You want to enchant me on the thing?

39:59.266 --> 40:00.648 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 40:00.668 --> 40:01.029 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 40:01.109 --> 40:05.796 [Riv (DM)]: Just down the road then and back to the same quaint looking house that has been modified. 40:06.657 --> 40:11.845 [Riv (DM)]: The big pink sign out the front with the letters saying Belinda's Chest. 40:11.965 --> 40:13.667 [Riv (DM)]: All these little balls rolling around magically. 40:14.749 --> 40:18.775 [Riv (DM)]: You can push your way inside and you don't see anyone. 40:18.895 --> 40:21.799 [Riv (DM)]: You just hear banging and crashing from the back room. 40:25.036 --> 40:29.423 [Lacer (Kai)]: I do the shape water thing again, but this time it's a pink heart above Dondar. 40:36.535 --> 40:39.079 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I look around at the party and slap the crossbow. 40:39.660 --> 40:40.441 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: This is my thinking. 40:40.501 --> 40:46.791 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm open to other alternatives, but I just don't see any way we're getting close and slamming something in. 40:50.180 --> 40:56.088 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hey Dondar, can you class fly by any chance again? 40:56.108 --> 40:58.491 [Lacer (Kai)]: I could. 40:59.933 --> 41:02.115 [Lacer (Kai)]: How many times can you do that today? 41:05.940 --> 41:10.246 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Today, this evening, this is a new day from yesterday. 41:10.266 --> 41:14.972 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, you've already done it. 41:15.323 --> 41:16.744 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Once for Erendor. 41:16.764 --> 41:17.865 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I've already done it once. 41:17.885 --> 41:20.448 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If I can do it, if I've done it once today, I can do it two more times. 41:21.188 --> 41:22.830 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, good to know, good to know. 41:23.591 --> 41:44.470 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, technically I could hold on to the piton, I could shapeshift, and if you cast Fly on Me, I could fly on up as like a small creature and try and land on the top as Erendor did, and then I'll just smack it in, and then I'll just try and get back down somehow. 41:45.715 --> 41:50.041 [JC (Ryo)]: Didn't you basically try that and all the magic wore off when he got next to it? 41:50.622 --> 41:53.866 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, he flew above it and then landed on it and then it dispelled. 41:54.407 --> 41:56.370 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's when we saw him. 41:56.811 --> 41:58.493 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sky's the sound of hammering. 41:59.414 --> 42:00.095 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm not. 42:00.115 --> 42:02.719 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm not just gonna go and smash it in. 42:03.760 --> 42:07.866 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, that sounds like it's gonna provoke an immediate response. 42:08.327 --> 42:12.232 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: There's hammering down below. 42:12.252 --> 42:12.853 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's not 42:14.082 --> 42:17.087 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Unusual for there to be amounts of sound. 42:17.848 --> 42:21.995 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And you can muffle the sound of a peon being hammered in. 42:22.816 --> 42:24.179 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It would be right at the top. 42:24.719 --> 42:27.264 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was thinking hammering right at the top on like the roof. 42:27.284 --> 42:29.307 [Lacer (Kai)]: 300 feet up. 42:29.962 --> 42:35.427 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It could try and time it with smashing on the hammery bell thing. 42:38.089 --> 42:42.133 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The magic wore off when I was a few feet out from it. 42:42.793 --> 42:44.054 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I hit the roof with some force. 42:45.556 --> 42:46.536 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Wasn't a soft landing. 42:46.576 --> 42:47.517 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It wasn't on contact. 42:48.478 --> 42:50.240 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And then there's getting down again afterwards. 42:53.542 --> 42:56.005 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I think the crossbow is still the best idea. 42:57.106 --> 42:58.787 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Unless we want to risk more falls. 43:00.269 --> 43:04.176 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was thinking, I was wondering if the runes just prevent magic from the outside. 43:04.196 --> 43:07.121 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just wondering if you could cast magic inside the tower. 43:07.362 --> 43:10.027 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's what my thoughts were, you know what I mean? 43:10.748 --> 43:19.604 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like I could transform back into like a spider or something, and if I was inside the tower, just take my time for an hour, get out of there, just nice and slow. 43:19.624 --> 43:21.467 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I don't think you'll be able to in the tower. 43:21.818 --> 43:28.307 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Your best bet might be to get a run and jump off and try and get as far out from it as you can before you transform. 43:28.327 --> 43:29.849 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah, I could do that and I could teleport. 43:29.929 --> 43:31.851 [Lacer (Kai)]: I could Misty Step to the nearest roof. 43:32.072 --> 43:32.753 [Lacer (Kai)]: That would work too. 43:33.213 --> 43:34.114 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just blow up the tower? 43:35.636 --> 43:36.297 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: No. 43:37.439 --> 43:40.423 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, if we blow up the tower, we put it in the rubble, does that count as well? 43:43.267 --> 43:46.471 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm sure it might be protected, you know? 43:46.511 --> 43:51.758 [Lacer (Kai)]: These ancient sigils seem very powerful. 43:56.834 --> 44:01.302 [Riv (DM)]: The crashing and banging that you're hearing in the back room kind of goes silent for a second. 44:02.123 --> 44:02.805 [Riv (DM)]: And you hear a voice. 44:03.947 --> 44:05.690 [Riv (DM)]: Hello? 44:05.710 --> 44:06.471 [Riv (DM)]: Is there someone out there? 44:06.491 --> 44:12.201 [Lacer (Kai)]: I hear that your boyfriend's here. 44:13.383 --> 44:18.172 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What? 44:18.192 --> 44:19.534 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar says, hi Belinda. 44:21.691 --> 44:24.842 [Riv (DM)]: Oh... Oh, Dondar, is that you on the right of here? 44:24.862 --> 44:25.524 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, I'm a bit... 44:25.544 --> 44:30.099 [Riv (DM)]: I'm a bit of a... Yeah, coming to the back room, I'm in a bit of an awkward position at the moment. 44:32.869 --> 44:33.270 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 44:34.617 --> 44:36.659 [Lacer (Kai)]: Don't let his ears perk up. 44:38.841 --> 44:39.502 [Riv (DM)]: Got you guys. 44:41.123 --> 44:46.809 [Riv (DM)]: Open the door to the back room and you can see Belinda is like currently standing up on top of a table. 44:47.189 --> 45:01.823 [Riv (DM)]: There's a big crate and she's standing inside the crate just like stomping around and you get this like big wafting smell of fresh herbs or something and looking a bit closer you can see it's a massive crate of hops that she's just stamping on. 45:02.680 --> 45:09.930 [Riv (DM)]: And she's got her same beautiful dress and her hair today is a nice pastel green along with the rest of her dress and robes. 45:12.694 --> 45:16.339 [Riv (DM)]: Well it's a bit of awkward timing but anything I can do for you? 45:16.359 --> 45:18.362 [Riv (DM)]: Were you successful in getting the piece on into the tower? 45:21.987 --> 45:22.828 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Small issue. 45:23.849 --> 45:26.693 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We weren't aware that the tower was an anti-magic zone. 45:29.177 --> 45:29.297 [Riv (DM)]: Oh. 45:30.418 --> 45:31.540 [Riv (DM)]: Right, did I not mention that? 45:33.292 --> 45:34.073 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 45:35.054 --> 45:35.755 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry about that. 45:37.276 --> 45:39.219 [Riv (DM)]: Well, there you go. 45:40.600 --> 45:41.902 [Riv (DM)]: Found out the hard way. 45:43.684 --> 45:43.964 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes. 45:44.344 --> 45:44.905 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes, I did. 45:44.925 --> 45:46.947 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh no. 45:46.967 --> 45:48.809 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: 300 foot fall away. 45:48.849 --> 45:51.793 [Riv (DM)]: Oh gosh, yeah. 45:51.813 --> 45:53.294 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like you made it in one piece at least. 45:53.314 --> 45:53.815 [Riv (DM)]: Oh gosh. 45:54.135 --> 45:54.576 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry about that. 45:54.736 --> 45:58.540 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure I told you, but I guess I had a lot on my mind yesterday. 46:03.532 --> 46:05.074 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, we've got our plan B. 46:07.997 --> 46:11.320 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: How long does this spike need to be in the tower before it all goes down? 46:11.340 --> 46:15.685 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think it really matters how long it's there before. 46:15.705 --> 46:21.431 [Riv (DM)]: As long as it's in there during the solstice itself, they'll light the beacon at the top. 46:22.131 --> 46:24.794 [Riv (DM)]: The whole tower will glow and that's when I'll get my energy. 46:27.197 --> 46:30.400 [Riv (DM)]: That'll usually happen, I believe, about bang on midnight. 46:32.742 --> 46:36.767 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So they light the top and then what, a couple of seconds later or immediately? 46:38.610 --> 46:42.234 [Riv (DM)]: I believe pretty much immediately on the solstice yeah, about midnight. 46:43.436 --> 46:48.542 [Riv (DM)]: And I'm expecting there to be a few bursts of power so it'll probably go on for a minute or so. 46:51.666 --> 46:54.950 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is there a big bright show, big distraction as it's happening? 46:56.813 --> 47:00.117 [Riv (DM)]: Well I imagine the tower itself will be making quite the show but 47:01.683 --> 47:04.086 [Riv (DM)]: You'll probably want to have the peaton in there before it starts. 47:04.286 --> 47:06.449 [Riv (DM)]: I don't want to miss out any of the initial energy. 47:12.396 --> 47:14.578 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Turn to the rest of the group. 47:14.598 --> 47:16.861 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We chuck it in right before... 47:16.881 --> 47:18.082 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm assuming they do a countdown. 47:20.285 --> 47:26.152 [Riv (DM)]: I believe there's a bit of a speech and everyone gathers together for a vigil right before it happens. 47:26.612 --> 47:27.573 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure it won't be a surprise. 47:30.577 --> 47:30.677 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah. 47:30.910 --> 47:37.881 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The less time between it going in and the shit going down means less chance for it to be discovered. 47:41.546 --> 47:42.728 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm open to ideas though. 47:46.754 --> 47:47.615 [JC (Ryo)]: Get a lacrosse ball. 47:55.507 --> 47:56.369 [Riv (DM)]: Stamping the hops again. 47:57.991 --> 47:59.213 [Riv (DM)]: I've got no ideas for this one. 48:00.037 --> 48:01.559 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think your idea is as good as any. 48:02.039 --> 48:04.142 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's just go with that right now. 48:04.282 --> 48:06.605 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's the most safe idea. 48:07.927 --> 48:16.037 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I pull out the big heavy crossbow and a bolt and the python and I look to her and say, You haven't got any way we can merge these together, do you? 48:17.719 --> 48:19.961 [Riv (DM)]: Oh boy, um, let me think. 48:21.764 --> 48:23.526 [Riv (DM)]: It's not really my area of expertise. 48:23.626 --> 48:28.592 [Riv (DM)]: I could probably tinker with it a little bit, but you're probably better to go and talk to Doric down at the forge, right? 48:32.572 --> 48:33.553 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe. 48:34.794 --> 48:40.701 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll just look at Dondar. 48:40.941 --> 48:43.784 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar, you're pretty good at blacksmith tools, aren't you? 48:46.307 --> 48:47.248 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Toes of Grey, yes. 48:48.529 --> 48:52.774 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I am a woodcarver as well, so I can work on the bolt. 48:52.794 --> 48:55.357 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you have an anvil by any chance, Belinda? 48:57.299 --> 48:58.140 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately not. 49:02.660 --> 49:05.022 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm sure the dwarf will let us use his. 49:08.905 --> 49:22.998 [Lacer (Kai)]: Looks like we're going back next door to Old Meat. 49:23.018 --> 49:24.019 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 49:24.039 --> 49:24.499 [JC (Ryo)]: Belinda? 49:25.820 --> 49:25.940 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Aye? 49:26.761 --> 49:31.485 [JC (Ryo)]: You don't happen to have any gunpowder or explosives, do you? 49:33.220 --> 49:38.537 [Riv (DM)]: Let me have a look. 49:38.557 --> 49:41.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does she climb out of her tub with her feet? 49:41.962 --> 49:42.663 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, she hops out. 49:42.783 --> 49:46.986 [Riv (DM)]: You can see there's like oil and stuff dripping from her feet as she's stepping up. 49:47.106 --> 49:49.969 [Riv (DM)]: She's like, she's been crushing the hops to try and extract some of the oil. 49:50.670 --> 49:58.997 [Riv (DM)]: Clearly, she steps down off the table and plonks down two feet onto the floor and like looks back at the mess and just waves her hand and it all disappears and cleans up. 49:59.797 --> 50:02.860 [Riv (DM)]: And she hobbles over, well, wanders over barefoot. 50:03.801 --> 50:05.382 [Riv (DM)]: Starts rifling around a few chests. 50:05.402 --> 50:07.524 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I thought I might have had some here. 50:08.845 --> 50:11.968 [Riv (DM)]: Pulls open a small little keg. 50:11.948 --> 50:13.910 [Riv (DM)]: About the size of a beer can or something like that. 50:14.051 --> 50:16.373 [Riv (DM)]: Gives it a shake and sounds empty, unfortunately. 50:17.034 --> 50:18.236 [Riv (DM)]: I rolled a one on my dice. 50:18.256 --> 50:18.676 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, dude. 50:20.999 --> 50:26.646 [Lacer (Kai)]: While you're looking, you happen to have anything like a clockwork amulet by any chance? 50:27.327 --> 50:28.388 [Riv (DM)]: A clockwork amulet? 50:29.890 --> 50:33.735 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you seem to like tinkering and little trinkets and stuff. 50:34.275 --> 50:35.016 [Lacer (Kai)]: Figured I might ask. 50:35.277 --> 50:37.519 [Riv (DM)]: Aye, I think I made one of those a couple of months ago. 50:39.121 --> 50:39.762 [Riv (DM)]: Looking to buy? 50:40.889 --> 50:41.990 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sure, why not. 50:44.053 --> 50:44.213 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 50:44.233 --> 50:45.234 [Riv (DM)]: She does go rifling. 50:46.075 --> 50:48.218 [Riv (DM)]: And she does, in fact, have a Clockwork Amulet. 50:48.258 --> 50:49.339 [Riv (DM)]: I rolled well for you this time. 50:49.840 --> 50:52.383 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe just double check. 50:53.884 --> 50:55.266 [Riv (DM)]: I believe that's a common item, right? 50:56.688 --> 50:56.928 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 50:59.852 --> 51:02.074 [Riv (DM)]: Let me just go over the books. 51:04.797 --> 51:05.899 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, for God's sake, sorry. 51:06.700 --> 51:08.702 [Riv (DM)]: I'm using like 20 different browsers. 51:18.453 --> 51:23.518 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, she'll sell it to you for 100 gold. 51:25.280 --> 51:27.623 [Lacer (Kai)]: Whoa, it's super expensive. 51:28.483 --> 51:30.145 [Riv (DM)]: It's one of the better common items to be fair. 51:31.527 --> 51:36.031 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, and can you give us a discount since we're doing this favor for you by any chance? 51:38.173 --> 51:40.456 [Riv (DM)]: Oh gosh, I love people that haggle with magic items. 51:41.077 --> 51:42.278 [Riv (DM)]: I guess that's part of the fun, isn't it? 51:42.638 --> 51:44.460 [Riv (DM)]: Um, well... 51:45.385 --> 51:53.073 [Riv (DM)]: Look, I guess we had come to an agreement about me helping you make the other magic item, but roll a persuasion check, Kai. 51:54.395 --> 51:55.516 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure. 51:55.576 --> 51:59.981 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just saying, no power means no magic items for the both of us, right? 52:01.182 --> 52:02.684 [Riv (DM)]: I guess that's true if you use it to help. 52:03.985 --> 52:07.829 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dumbdar bats his eyelids suggestively. 52:08.370 --> 52:10.212 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Roll with disadvantage, Kai. 52:10.883 --> 52:11.404 [Riv (DM)]: Really? 52:11.424 --> 52:13.369 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, no, no. 52:13.489 --> 52:16.235 [Riv (DM)]: You can just... Rolling with it. 52:16.255 --> 52:17.578 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, I was, I was, I was memeing. 52:17.598 --> 52:18.380 [Riv (DM)]: Just, just roll normally. 52:19.242 --> 52:23.150 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, 13, yeah. 52:23.170 --> 52:25.636 [Riv (DM)]: Um, I would, they would be rolling with it. 52:25.656 --> 52:27.861 [Riv (DM)]: Do you know, do you know how to roll that game? 52:27.881 --> 52:28.943 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I just, okay. 52:35.487 --> 52:38.151 [Riv (DM)]: She's like, ah, this one, it took a bit of effort to make this one. 52:38.251 --> 52:39.553 [Riv (DM)]: It's got some intricate moving parts. 52:40.354 --> 52:41.817 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, it's probably going to be 100 gold. 52:42.898 --> 52:44.120 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, so it's a nice one. 52:44.601 --> 52:45.462 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 52:45.482 --> 52:47.866 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I get your autograph on it? 52:47.886 --> 52:48.386 [Riv (DM)]: Of course. 52:49.909 --> 52:52.112 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want it to be, like, permanently engraved in it? 52:52.919 --> 52:53.780 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, yeah. 52:54.722 --> 53:14.573 [Riv (DM)]: She whips out like this little tool, it kind of looks like a chisel, see it's got a much finer point and she turns and starts just scratching away at it and you can see these like sort of magical purple sparks appear as she's engraving and you can see Belinda in beautiful cursive and pink writing along the back of the amulet. 53:18.147 --> 53:18.908 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, that's awesome. 53:18.928 --> 53:26.777 [Riv (DM)]: It's been like sketched in and the letters almost sort of like glow when you look at it in different lights and stuff you can still see them faintly glowing. 53:26.797 --> 53:31.722 [Lacer (Kai)]: And nicely placed 100 clean gold coins on the table. 53:33.224 --> 53:33.584 [Lacer (Kai)]: Takes them. 53:38.229 --> 53:38.810 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well thank you. 53:39.851 --> 53:40.371 [Lacer (Kai)]: Very nice. 53:41.913 --> 53:44.256 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, you good to add that to your sheet? 53:44.276 --> 53:45.277 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, yeah I'll add that. 53:45.717 --> 53:46.298 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 53:51.155 --> 53:52.997 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty then guys, what's the plan? 53:53.017 --> 54:03.368 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I guess we need to find or borrow an anvil and an expert and see what we can do. 54:06.411 --> 54:07.152 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, alright. 54:09.234 --> 54:10.895 [Riv (DM)]: We go back to the forge. 54:13.278 --> 54:14.499 [Riv (DM)]: Doric kind of raises his eyebrow. 54:14.679 --> 54:20.065 [Riv (DM)]: It's a bit of a strange request to ask to use his forge, but 54:20.821 --> 54:24.230 [Riv (DM)]: You know what, why don't you roll a persuasion check just to kind of see. 54:25.052 --> 54:28.521 [Riv (DM)]: Unless you want to sort of play it out or if there was some other way you were going to go about doing it. 54:28.581 --> 54:36.180 [Riv (DM)]: I don't want to necessarily push you into anything but I also want to just kind of keep it moving. 54:37.088 --> 54:37.388 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 54:37.569 --> 54:38.029 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 54:38.190 --> 54:38.610 [Riv (DM)]: Easy peasy. 54:38.730 --> 54:44.418 [Riv (DM)]: You can negotiate and he'll happily sort of sit back and even let you borrow his tools. 54:45.099 --> 54:46.301 [Riv (DM)]: So let's do two checks here. 54:46.341 --> 54:56.856 [Riv (DM)]: So we're going to get a woodworking check from Valoran to make sure that the tip of the spear is sort of carved into the right proportions to take the peat on. 54:57.036 --> 55:01.122 [Riv (DM)]: And then we'll get a metalworking check from 55:01.102 --> 55:08.966 [Riv (DM)]: From Dondar, a smithing check I guess, to attach it with wire or something like that so that it's nice and sturdy. 55:09.930 --> 55:12.016 [Riv (DM)]: So you're proficient with woodworking tools? 55:13.220 --> 55:13.340 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 55:14.123 --> 55:14.925 [Riv (DM)]: Well there you go. 55:15.175 --> 55:17.358 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I give them guidance? 55:17.478 --> 55:19.380 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I give Dondar some guidance? 55:19.400 --> 55:20.982 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, Valerian doesn't need it, but Dondar does. 55:21.042 --> 55:24.306 [Riv (DM)]: So Dondar, it'll be either a Dexterity or an Athletics check. 55:25.067 --> 55:25.888 [Riv (DM)]: Um, your choice. 55:26.569 --> 55:29.413 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, Dexterity or Strength check, and you get to add your Proficiency bonus. 55:30.574 --> 55:31.115 [Riv (DM)]: Plus a D4. 55:31.255 --> 55:33.218 [Riv (DM)]: And I will... plus, yeah. 55:33.238 --> 55:34.299 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: So just, just roll a... 55:34.319 --> 55:37.683 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The only thing is you have your tools, provided you have smithing tools, which would be there. 55:38.184 --> 55:40.627 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, and Doric can provide those as well. 55:41.668 --> 55:44.592 [Riv (DM)]: Um, so just, just roll a D20, and we'll, we'll see how we go. 55:50.343 --> 55:51.666 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, you know what? 55:53.109 --> 56:05.478 [Riv (DM)]: I'll give you advantage as well because Dora could probably help. 56:05.498 --> 56:07.482 [Riv (DM)]: Can you just roll one more and set it with advantage? 56:08.064 --> 56:09.567 [Riv (DM)]: Because we will take the first three but... 56:15.250 --> 56:19.746 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I saw a 1 for a second. 56:24.442 --> 56:25.345 [Lacer (Kai)]: Roll a d4. 56:25.586 --> 56:27.673 [Lacer (Kai)]: Please be a 4. 56:28.430 --> 56:30.552 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So I need to think I should have used my first idea. 56:31.052 --> 56:34.756 [Riv (DM)]: That dice took an absolute mission on my screen. 56:35.316 --> 56:38.319 [Riv (DM)]: And then your proficiency will be plus 3 I believe at this level, right? 56:38.639 --> 56:39.780 [Riv (DM)]: So we got a 13. 56:39.800 --> 56:40.841 [Riv (DM)]: 13. 56:41.562 --> 56:42.122 [Riv (DM)]: It connects. 56:42.382 --> 56:44.664 [Riv (DM)]: It's not like super sound. 56:44.944 --> 56:46.646 [Riv (DM)]: It's a bit of a tricky thing to do. 56:46.866 --> 56:51.690 [Riv (DM)]: The piton is like a foot long bit of steel and the whole thing is a bit unbalanced. 56:52.151 --> 56:53.392 [Riv (DM)]: It's serviceable. 56:54.193 --> 56:54.773 [Riv (DM)]: It's lashed. 56:55.614 --> 56:56.935 [Riv (DM)]: You kind of pick it up and hold it. 56:56.915 --> 57:01.707 [Riv (DM)]: Feels a little bit imbalanced maybe, but it's holding, it's holding together. 57:03.712 --> 57:07.661 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Only needs to make one shot, it doesn't need to stay on, it just needs to drive it in. 57:09.265 --> 57:09.786 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's true. 57:12.694 --> 57:14.518 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: As we could heat up the end as well. 57:15.562 --> 57:17.664 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know about modifying the middle. 57:18.465 --> 57:18.886 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 57:18.926 --> 57:21.149 [Lacer (Kai)]: You might destroy some of these. 57:21.249 --> 57:21.809 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's it called? 57:21.869 --> 57:25.354 [Lacer (Kai)]: Potentially, you know, the enchantments on it. 57:25.374 --> 57:25.814 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 57:25.834 --> 57:27.076 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know how this thing works. 57:27.917 --> 57:30.960 [Lacer (Kai)]: It might be, I don't know, fragile to heal, potentially. 57:37.528 --> 57:38.189 [Lacer (Kai)]: All right. 57:38.209 --> 57:39.490 [Lacer (Kai)]: We have a modified arrow. 57:41.853 --> 57:42.053 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah. 57:42.314 --> 57:42.774 [Lacer (Kai)]: Correction. 57:42.814 --> 57:43.035 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 57:43.095 --> 57:43.375 [Lacer (Kai)]: Bolt. 57:48.198 --> 57:49.239 [Lacer (Kai)]: So what to now? 57:49.279 --> 58:00.851 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We wander down to the market unless anyone else wants to do anything in town and we join the festivities and look for a grassy knoll. 58:04.214 --> 58:08.458 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure, let's go play some market carnival games. 58:10.340 --> 58:11.681 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 58:11.781 --> 58:12.682 [Riv (DM)]: Heading back down to the market. 58:14.965 --> 58:17.327 [Riv (DM)]: I will just 58:17.493 --> 58:27.810 [Riv (DM)]: Remind you, Dondar, Belinda had said the day before that you'll need to help her with the magical item crafting, so at some point you'll want to head back there. 58:30.013 --> 58:42.434 [Riv (DM)]: Does she need the materials there and then or is she just storing the power and then... Yeah, you guys currently have the rapier and the materials and it all needs to be in a workshop. 58:42.474 --> 58:43.315 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: At the time, okay. 58:45.607 --> 58:46.508 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 58:47.108 --> 58:50.031 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Take those bits back as we're getting closer, I guess. 58:52.834 --> 58:53.354 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 58:54.175 --> 58:55.336 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, back at the market then. 58:55.837 --> 58:57.418 [Riv (DM)]: All these little games going around. 58:57.458 --> 58:59.600 [Riv (DM)]: You can see people shopping and buying things. 58:59.640 --> 59:04.305 [Riv (DM)]: You can see a few people selling candles, a few people are carving candles. 59:05.826 --> 59:07.588 [Riv (DM)]: There are a bunch of different games here. 59:07.608 --> 59:08.509 [Riv (DM)]: Is that what you're looking to do? 59:08.549 --> 59:09.670 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe play a few games? 59:10.350 --> 59:11.391 [Riv (DM)]: Sure. 59:12.713 --> 59:14.314 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And while we're doing it, we will 59:15.678 --> 59:22.790 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Scope out a spot that we can shoot from that is going to give us a good angle and also not be visible to the crowds. 59:23.591 --> 59:23.892 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 59:24.072 --> 59:24.793 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 59:24.853 --> 59:26.015 [Riv (DM)]: So let's roll a perception check. 59:26.035 --> 59:35.351 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: While we're walking through the... Was that Rio? 59:35.371 --> 59:35.812 [Riv (DM)]: You cut out. 59:38.136 --> 59:40.099 [JC (Ryo)]: I stopped because you asked the party to do something. 59:43.758 --> 59:44.179 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 59:45.621 --> 59:49.567 [Riv (DM)]: So the Ember Spire is being in the middle of town, surrounded by buildings. 59:49.748 --> 59:55.657 [Riv (DM)]: The backside of the town towards the forest, there's like a couple of layers of buildings there. 59:55.758 --> 59:57.260 [Riv (DM)]: That's where the large guild buildings are. 59:58.041 --> 01:00:01.867 [Riv (DM)]: So there isn't any like hills or knolls or anything like that. 01:00:02.749 --> 01:00:10.221 [Riv (DM)]: Your best bet would probably be just looking around, hopping up onto one of the roofs of a nearby building, I think would probably be your best bet based on what you're looking at. 01:00:10.977 --> 01:00:13.060 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was dreaming about the Grassy Gnoll. 01:00:13.220 --> 01:00:14.302 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm gonna JFK this tower. 01:00:16.605 --> 01:00:21.291 [Riv (DM)]: I didn't pick up on that, fair enough. 01:00:21.311 --> 01:00:29.042 [JC (Ryo)]: While we're walking through the market, if there's anyone selling anything like explosive related or gunpowder, I'd like to stop and shop. 01:00:30.044 --> 01:00:30.805 [JC (Ryo)]: If there is. 01:00:31.466 --> 01:00:32.707 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, roll an investigation check. 01:00:33.989 --> 01:00:35.051 [Riv (DM)]: See if you can spot someone. 01:00:36.353 --> 01:00:40.258 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll help look, I'll help Rio look around. 01:00:43.563 --> 01:00:45.445 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you think we should, um... Nice. 01:00:46.026 --> 01:00:49.390 [JC (Ryo)]: No, he doesn't need my help, apparently. 01:00:49.410 --> 01:00:54.457 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I also haven't told anyone what I'm looking for, so...

01:07:32.391 --> 01:07:33.653 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so... Was it, like, close to it? 01:07:34.374 --> 01:07:35.575 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I mean, close. 01:07:35.615 --> 01:07:40.902 [Riv (DM)]: I should, like, imagine, so imagine, um, this is, like, the courtyard and the tower is right here in the middle. 01:07:41.543 --> 01:07:44.547 [Riv (DM)]: Um, every, there are all these stalls just, like, kind of gathered around it like this. 01:07:45.248 --> 01:07:46.029 [Riv (DM)]: Um, it's just, it's just here. 01:07:46.530 --> 01:07:48.212 [Riv (DM)]: Like, say, it's maybe, like, here or something like that. 01:07:48.232 --> 01:07:49.213 [Riv (DM)]: Just, side. 01:07:51.196 --> 01:07:52.297 [Riv (DM)]: So it's not that far away? 01:07:52.838 --> 01:07:54.881 [Riv (DM)]: Nah, maybe within 20, 20, 30 feet. 01:07:56.062 --> 01:07:57.304 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it's very close. 01:07:58.702 --> 01:08:03.347 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, but we got a big hammer sound that also rings a really loud bell. 01:08:04.829 --> 01:08:06.571 [JC (Ryo)]: You want me to shoot this thing with a crossbow? 01:08:06.631 --> 01:08:14.860 [JC (Ryo)]: Maybe we get someone who's really strong, as I look at Veleran, to give a crack at that hammer thing. 01:08:15.060 --> 01:08:17.783 [JC (Ryo)]: And as he hits it, I could shoot. 01:08:18.444 --> 01:08:23.990 [JC (Ryo)]: So that way, hopefully the sound of the bell going off would be timing with the impact of the tower. 01:08:26.553 --> 01:08:27.814 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure, sounds good. 01:08:28.216 --> 01:08:31.120 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe we should give it a crack and see how strong we are. 01:08:33.443 --> 01:08:35.787 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: As long as it's timed so that... 01:08:36.127 --> 01:08:42.877 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The issue is that there's going to be an obvious bolt sticking out of the side of the tower, unless it breaks away. 01:08:45.501 --> 01:08:50.468 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I think you need to do it late at night when it's just about to happen. 01:08:50.488 --> 01:08:53.152 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Don't eat any dinner shit in my room. 01:08:53.252 --> 01:08:56.316 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is it going to be that obvious? 01:08:56.802 --> 01:09:00.087 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Assuming a black quarrel sticking out of a black stone. 01:09:01.409 --> 01:09:02.651 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's not going to be that obvious, is it? 01:09:03.672 --> 01:09:12.125 [Lacer (Kai)]: In mind, if it transfers energy, a magical energy, if it lights up, we're kind of like, it's going to be very obvious that there's going to be like a beacon on the side of it. 01:09:12.565 --> 01:09:13.907 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: No one can go up there and get it. 01:09:14.528 --> 01:09:15.430 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Magic doesn't work. 01:09:18.775 --> 01:09:20.337 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I guess it'd be too late by then. 01:09:20.798 --> 01:09:21.679 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, yeah. 01:09:23.549 --> 01:09:32.244 [Riv (DM)]: By the way Kai, on a 14, you see there are a few people who do glance in your direction because strangers are always seen out a bit in a town this small. 01:09:32.705 --> 01:09:35.610 [Riv (DM)]: People not recognise you and you're a reasonably sized group. 01:09:36.532 --> 01:09:40.759 [Riv (DM)]: But they're not like, stealthing you out, they're not like, fooling you around and stuff like that, sussing you out a bit. 01:09:41.260 --> 01:09:45.928 [Riv (DM)]: However, you do actually notice at one point as you're sort of gathered to the side, 01:09:45.908 --> 01:09:49.592 [Riv (DM)]: A man in an imperial outfit wearing armour. 01:09:50.013 --> 01:09:51.455 [Riv (DM)]: You see him just sort of like running through the market. 01:09:51.815 --> 01:09:55.199 [Riv (DM)]: Not running, just like hurriedly moving through with a look of concern on his face. 01:09:55.860 --> 01:09:59.604 [Riv (DM)]: Just crossing straight across and disappearing behind Upper Street to the side. 01:10:01.646 --> 01:10:03.749 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's taking too long. 01:10:04.250 --> 01:10:06.212 [Lacer (Kai)]: Which direction he's running towards? 01:10:07.914 --> 01:10:11.418 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he was running north, I believe, up across the market. 01:10:12.699 --> 01:10:14.722 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is that towards the barracks and stuff? 01:10:14.742 --> 01:10:15.763 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:10:18.123 --> 01:10:20.166 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Alright, half the company is gone. 01:10:21.227 --> 01:10:24.431 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, well I just mentioned that to our group. 01:10:25.513 --> 01:10:29.478 [Lacer (Kai)]: That there was an odd soldier running quickly towards the barracks. 01:10:35.285 --> 01:10:38.169 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I guess the Imperials must have run into some trouble out in the forest. 01:10:39.751 --> 01:10:40.192 [Lacer (Kai)]: Who knows? 01:10:40.673 --> 01:10:42.655 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're surrounded by dangerous stuff anyway. 01:10:43.096 --> 01:10:44.097 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dangerous forest. 01:10:46.388 --> 01:10:53.760 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hey Valeran, you want to give your strength a test run on this Camaar thing? 01:10:54.321 --> 01:10:55.363 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll definitely give it a go. 01:10:57.446 --> 01:10:58.748 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was just looking at the group. 01:10:58.768 --> 01:11:01.954 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Do you want to try and put the bolt in now or do you want to wait until later when it's less obvious? 01:11:03.877 --> 01:11:05.379 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably won't have the sound to screen it then. 01:11:05.980 --> 01:11:06.401 [JC (Ryo)]: It's up to you. 01:11:08.244 --> 01:11:13.172 [JC (Ryo)]: I need a vantage point from where I won't be seen. 01:11:13.287 --> 01:11:16.692 [JC (Ryo)]: And I need line of sight on you so I can time it. 01:11:18.014 --> 01:11:18.234 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right. 01:11:18.455 --> 01:11:19.356 [Lacer (Kai)]: You see anything? 01:11:19.496 --> 01:11:23.282 [Lacer (Kai)]: You see any place around like that? 01:11:27.788 --> 01:11:28.369 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, was that to me? 01:11:28.429 --> 01:11:29.571 [JC (Ryo)]: What did you guys do before again? 01:11:31.914 --> 01:11:37.262 [Lacer (Kai)]: We turned invisible and they cast Fly and flew Erendor up to the top of the town. 01:11:38.564 --> 01:11:38.704 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh. 01:11:40.540 --> 01:11:47.908 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, put Invisibility on me and I can shoot it from anywhere with line of sight, but I can see Val Aran and the tower. 01:11:49.510 --> 01:11:49.911 [JC (Ryo)]: You could. 01:11:49.931 --> 01:11:50.091 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:11:50.591 --> 01:11:52.414 [Lacer (Kai)]: How did Erendor got to Invisibility? 01:11:52.434 --> 01:11:53.495 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm kind of confused now. 01:11:55.057 --> 01:11:57.900 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, when you're sneaky as me, you can just do that. 01:11:59.201 --> 01:12:03.446 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can just, oh, it's a you thing, not like a person or something. 01:12:04.007 --> 01:12:06.610 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I can make someone else a bit sneaky as well. 01:12:08.993 --> 01:12:09.433 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh yeah? 01:12:10.612 --> 01:12:14.838 [JC (Ryo)]: Wait, so did you turn yourself invisible, or did Dondar turn himself invisible? 01:12:14.858 --> 01:12:14.978 [JC (Ryo)]: I did. 01:12:14.998 --> 01:12:16.279 [JC (Ryo)]: Can you turn others invisible? 01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:17.421 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I can. 01:12:19.844 --> 01:12:19.964 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 01:12:19.984 --> 01:12:20.825 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Well, good to know. 01:12:21.006 --> 01:12:23.269 [JC (Ryo)]: Unless you want to shoot the bolt, can you shoot the bolt? 01:12:23.289 --> 01:12:23.409 [JC (Ryo)]: Jesus. 01:12:24.250 --> 01:12:25.171 [JC (Ryo)]: You know how to use these things? 01:12:26.192 --> 01:12:27.995 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh, nah, nah, not a chance. 01:12:29.116 --> 01:12:33.442 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I've never used one of these things, but I think I get the general idea. 01:12:33.462 --> 01:12:34.583 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So now we got a question. 01:12:35.525 --> 01:12:39.690 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do the physics of this world mean that when he fires the crossbow, he goes back the other way? 01:12:41.003 --> 01:12:42.705 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In recoil, you mean? 01:12:43.887 --> 01:12:45.269 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, how does invisibility work? 01:12:45.309 --> 01:12:47.572 [JC (Ryo)]: Does it drop when you make an attack? 01:12:48.974 --> 01:12:49.535 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I don't know. 01:12:49.615 --> 01:12:50.556 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yes, I believe so. 01:12:51.037 --> 01:12:54.962 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Greater invisibility doesn't, but it should just be based on invisibility when high enough level for that. 01:12:58.287 --> 01:13:02.132 [JC (Ryo)]: Okay, so I still need to be somewhere where people can't see me, see me. 01:13:03.234 --> 01:13:04.716 [JC (Ryo)]: And still be able to see you. 01:13:06.418 --> 01:13:09.002 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm just putting that there so that you can see it and read it. 01:13:10.231 --> 01:13:22.689 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, so looking around, now I'm just like looking around for like a vantage point that would suit Ryo for his vantage point on the hammer activity and the tower. 01:13:26.114 --> 01:13:26.815 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Crazy thought. 01:13:28.257 --> 01:13:34.186 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We make the man with the crossbow invisible, we make the man with the crossbow fly, and let him just go up there. 01:13:34.887 --> 01:13:36.930 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Don't go close to the tower, just 20 foot out. 01:13:37.484 --> 01:13:38.445 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And he just shoots it. 01:13:38.846 --> 01:13:39.667 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And then he flies away. 01:13:39.687 --> 01:13:43.673 [JC (Ryo)]: And then I become visible 20 foot out from the tower. 01:13:45.655 --> 01:13:47.678 [Lacer (Kai)]: Look, I fly quickly. 01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:49.240 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's night time. 01:13:50.642 --> 01:13:53.526 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm sure if you go to the dark side of the tower you'll be fine. 01:13:53.686 --> 01:13:55.789 [Lacer (Kai)]: If there's a shadow cast from the moon. 01:13:56.530 --> 01:13:57.752 [JC (Ryo)]: If anyone sees you... 01:13:57.772 --> 01:14:00.416 [JC (Ryo)]: Pretty well lit up, isn't it Riv? 01:14:00.436 --> 01:14:00.996 [Riv (DM)]: Say again, sorry? 01:14:02.198 --> 01:14:05.162 [JC (Ryo)]: This market is pretty well lit up to see if there's a festival. 01:14:05.412 --> 01:14:08.775 [Riv (DM)]: At the moment it's sort of afternoon-ish, so yeah, it's still daytime. 01:14:11.077 --> 01:14:14.981 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, looking around at the crowd, Riv, what type of races do I see? 01:14:16.342 --> 01:14:19.145 [Lacer (Kai)]: These people enjoying the activities. 01:14:19.685 --> 01:14:22.128 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there's a decent mixture of different people. 01:14:22.208 --> 01:14:26.952 [Riv (DM)]: The most common would be your humans and dwarves, but there are a few gnomes, a few halflings around. 01:14:26.972 --> 01:14:30.155 [Riv (DM)]: You see there's like that one tiefling you met at the market. 01:14:31.096 --> 01:14:32.297 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bit of a mixture. 01:14:33.222 --> 01:14:40.750 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, so a good mixture of people with darkvision then, so obviously someone will see you if they're looking for you. 01:14:42.411 --> 01:14:48.578 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What are the chances my level 3 Dispel Magic would nullify the Towers effect? 01:14:49.679 --> 01:14:53.543 [Lacer (Kai)]: It wouldn't nullify the Towers magic? 01:14:54.904 --> 01:14:55.705 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why not? 01:14:55.885 --> 01:14:59.028 [Lacer (Kai)]: Pretty sure the Wardens are going to be so pissed off if it works. 01:14:59.849 --> 01:15:00.630 [Lacer (Kai)]: They wouldn't know. 01:15:01.201 --> 01:15:04.785 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'm sure they would because the whole tower doing a thing is the magical thing. 01:15:05.065 --> 01:15:10.190 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not to mention this is old world magic, so I very much doubt a level 3 would do it. 01:15:10.210 --> 01:15:10.451 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:15:13.234 --> 01:15:16.137 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, Erendor's idea sounds pretty good. 01:15:16.277 --> 01:15:20.741 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's the range on a heavy crossbow, by the way, anyway? 01:15:21.322 --> 01:15:21.923 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's like infinite. 01:15:21.943 --> 01:15:22.683 [Riv (DM)]: Should we test it? 01:15:22.803 --> 01:15:23.724 [Riv (DM)]: I'm pretty sure it's like 600. 01:15:23.744 --> 01:15:24.105 [Riv (DM)]: Infinite! 01:15:24.585 --> 01:15:27.208 [Riv (DM)]: Nah, I think it's 600. 01:15:27.830 --> 01:15:29.132 [Lacer (Kai)]: What, 600 range? 01:15:29.372 --> 01:15:31.095 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can shoot at 100 foot. 01:15:31.115 --> 01:15:32.537 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: 100-400. 01:15:32.718 --> 01:15:39.529 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: At 100 foot in normal roll, over 100 foot to 400 is disadvantage. 01:15:40.410 --> 01:15:45.458 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can just, you can be 100 foot away, um, rear and just shoot it. 01:15:45.558 --> 01:15:49.004 [Lacer (Kai)]: Since you're such a crack shot, I'm sure you can't miss this giant S tower. 01:15:51.167 --> 01:15:55.474 [Lacer (Kai)]: You can literally be standing on Belinda's building, Rufin, shoot it from her house. 01:15:56.399 --> 01:16:00.087 [JC (Ryo)]: That may be a touch too far. 01:16:00.207 --> 01:16:02.392 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is Belinda's house a hundred feet away from the tower? 01:16:03.274 --> 01:16:04.717 [Lacer (Kai)]: This is a small town, right? 01:16:05.839 --> 01:16:06.019 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Probably. 01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:07.282 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: It's up from on top of the barracks. 01:16:07.302 --> 01:16:12.112 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: A hundred foot is the length of, actually, not even a football field. 01:16:12.633 --> 01:16:13.395 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes, thirty meters. 01:16:13.515 --> 01:16:14.177 [Lacer (Kai)]: Thirty meters. 01:16:14.718 --> 01:16:16.281 [Riv (DM)]: Hundred feet isn't masses. 01:16:20.665 --> 01:16:25.972 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean it sounds like I need to be like at the edge of the ember market at maximum. 01:16:25.992 --> 01:16:27.273 [JC (Ryo)]: Maybe a touch from the back. 01:16:27.974 --> 01:16:31.158 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Are there like inns or anything surrounding the tower? 01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:35.444 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Where people like would get a room and then watch from? 01:16:37.166 --> 01:16:40.971 [Riv (DM)]: Not in the market, no. 01:16:41.011 --> 01:16:43.094 [Riv (DM)]: The market itself is more like stalls. 01:16:43.134 --> 01:16:50.503 [Riv (DM)]: There are temporary stalls, some kind of permanent looking stalls, but closest set of houses to that are just more like homes that people live in. 01:16:51.648 --> 01:16:52.229 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, cool. 01:16:52.429 --> 01:16:54.631 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, Rio, you've got a rope. 01:16:54.791 --> 01:17:02.099 [Lacer (Kai)]: All you have to do is get on a roof that's about a hundred feet, just under a hundred feet away from this tower and give it a shot and you're Gucci, right? 01:17:02.820 --> 01:17:04.842 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, that's what was going through my head as well. 01:17:04.882 --> 01:17:06.464 [JC (Ryo)]: Get on one of these rooftops. 01:17:08.185 --> 01:17:16.674 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So, the rooftop that Kai was on while he was working... Yeah, can't we use that roof? 01:17:16.694 --> 01:17:17.956 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you can use that roof. 01:17:18.096 --> 01:17:19.257 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just teleported up. 01:17:19.778 --> 01:17:21.199 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, I didn't climb up, but yeah. 01:17:25.128 --> 01:17:27.934 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm not sure a stealthy tall person can climb up. 01:17:31.801 --> 01:17:38.154 [JC (Ryo)]: If I was to use the roof they used before, would I be within 100 feet or would I be outside 100 feet? 01:17:38.174 --> 01:17:41.741 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think it's well within 100 feet because I could see the top of the tower. 01:17:42.062 --> 01:17:43.525 [Riv (DM)]: You can be within. 01:17:46.340 --> 01:17:57.195 [Riv (DM)]: I guess I should say you can easily find a house with a decent enough roof that gives you some cover but still be able to see the festival games and the tower at the same time. 01:17:57.916 --> 01:17:59.418 [Riv (DM)]: We're not talking massive distances here. 01:18:02.062 --> 01:18:03.063 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright. 01:18:03.083 --> 01:18:04.124 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think we got a plan. 01:18:05.526 --> 01:18:06.207 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How about we... 01:18:06.628 --> 01:18:09.832 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: So are we doing the crossbow or are we doing Erendor's flying again? 01:18:09.852 --> 01:18:11.995 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Nah, the crossbow. 01:18:12.095 --> 01:18:13.237 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: No reason to fly. 01:18:13.257 --> 01:18:14.058 [Lacer (Kai)]: No reason to fly. 01:18:14.098 --> 01:18:16.161 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: There's some things that could go wrong for no net gain. 01:18:17.018 --> 01:18:25.009 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we'll just shoot it in just before the event and it should be all good. 01:18:26.291 --> 01:18:28.615 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do we want to do a practice somewhere? 01:18:29.556 --> 01:18:33.862 [JC (Ryo)]: Do you want to do it just before the event or do you want to do it now while we take advantage of the noise? 01:18:35.805 --> 01:18:39.150 [JC (Ryo)]: Or do you want to wait till evening when there may potentially be more noise? 01:18:41.253 --> 01:18:42.314 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, but it'd be darker. 01:18:42.534 --> 01:18:43.636 [Lacer (Kai)]: They wouldn't see you on the roof. 01:18:43.656 --> 01:18:45.118 [Lacer (Kai)]: They wouldn't expect you on the roof. 01:18:49.402 --> 01:18:54.269 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I wander over to the guy running the bell game and say, what time did you shut up the game? 01:18:54.990 --> 01:18:57.674 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Gonna get a bit of a run in tonight but I'm busy at the moment. 01:18:59.076 --> 01:19:00.358 [Riv (DM)]: Ah friend are you hoping to join? 01:19:00.899 --> 01:19:03.503 [Riv (DM)]: Big jolly dude, bald head, long grey beard. 01:19:06.047 --> 01:19:08.050 [Riv (DM)]: We usually keep it going until the sun starts to set. 01:19:08.290 --> 01:19:12.576 [Riv (DM)]: People like to go home and get dinner before coming back towards the evening so yeah we'll keep it going until around then. 01:19:14.619 --> 01:19:17.063 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Fair fair. 01:19:17.617 --> 01:19:20.421 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Not a bit to whiff around, but I might come back later and give it a bit of a swing. 01:19:20.441 --> 01:19:25.447 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Is there a prize for winning, or is it just for bragging rights? 01:19:26.128 --> 01:19:28.471 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe bragging rights is all the price you need, but no. 01:19:30.113 --> 01:19:33.137 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, we do a bit of a payment scheme here. 01:19:33.398 --> 01:19:39.505 [Riv (DM)]: You enter some gold and we'll, if you manage to hit the bell, we'll give you back double. 01:19:39.525 --> 01:19:40.146 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Sounds good to me. 01:19:43.010 --> 01:19:44.552 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I'll be back before you close. 01:19:44.937 --> 01:19:46.599 [Riv (DM)]: I look forward to it. 01:19:47.160 --> 01:19:48.161 [Riv (DM)]: You have to show this guy up. 01:19:48.221 --> 01:19:50.704 [Riv (DM)]: And he points to that big, burly dude you saw from just before. 01:19:51.225 --> 01:19:57.973 [Riv (DM)]: He just turns to look at you and he's like, urgh. 01:19:57.993 --> 01:19:59.214 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar would like to give it a go. 01:20:00.676 --> 01:20:01.857 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are you going to put any money down? 01:20:04.460 --> 01:20:06.323 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, what's the standard rate? 01:20:07.684 --> 01:20:11.569 [Lacer (Kai)]: He said you put in one and you can get double if you hit the bell. 01:20:12.511 --> 01:20:13.472 [Lacer (Kai)]: Perfect. 01:20:13.733 --> 01:20:14.794 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll put in 10 gold. 01:20:15.195 --> 01:20:15.936 [Riv (DM)]: Step up, wizard. 01:20:16.577 --> 01:20:23.147 [Riv (DM)]: Don't see many of you around here, but this is called the Dwarven Hammer game, so looks like it's made exactly for you. 01:20:23.167 --> 01:20:23.868 [Riv (DM)]: Step up, step up. 01:20:23.888 --> 01:20:27.814 [Riv (DM)]: 15 or 20 gold, your choice. 01:20:27.834 --> 01:20:29.496 [Riv (DM)]: 10 gold. 01:20:30.337 --> 01:20:31.719 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, hand it over. 01:20:32.461 --> 01:20:35.024 [Riv (DM)]: He grabs it from you and passes you a big sledge. 01:20:39.892 --> 01:20:40.172 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh. 01:20:41.182 --> 01:20:41.883 [Riv (DM)]: Just like mine. 01:20:42.223 --> 01:20:44.485 [Riv (DM)]: Let me check your character sheet. 01:20:48.630 --> 01:20:51.513 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Dwarf's probably proficient with animations. 01:20:51.813 --> 01:20:53.034 [Riv (DM)]: You're proficient with Warhammer, yeah. 01:20:53.695 --> 01:20:55.997 [Riv (DM)]: So I think you would be okay in terms of using it. 01:20:56.317 --> 01:20:57.358 [Riv (DM)]: I was just looking at your strength. 01:20:58.059 --> 01:20:58.920 [Riv (DM)]: It's quite heavy for you. 01:21:01.282 --> 01:21:03.485 [Riv (DM)]: But you can still wield it and you can still use it. 01:21:03.505 --> 01:21:05.947 [Riv (DM)]: You actually have got decent strength for Blizzard, which is pretty funny. 01:21:06.648 --> 01:21:08.750 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:21:08.770 --> 01:21:10.632 [Riv (DM)]: So you step up and you give it a good old swing. 01:21:11.776 --> 01:21:12.156 [Riv (DM)]: I do. 01:21:12.517 --> 01:21:12.877 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty. 01:21:12.937 --> 01:21:15.600 [Riv (DM)]: Roll an Athletics check. 01:21:16.261 --> 01:21:17.642 [Riv (DM)]: I will tell... Actually, you know what? 01:21:17.662 --> 01:21:18.163 [Riv (DM)]: I won't tell you. 01:21:22.508 --> 01:21:23.689 [Riv (DM)]: That's a worry. 01:21:24.950 --> 01:21:28.014 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just trying to potentially add suspense for later this evening. 01:21:29.775 --> 01:21:31.918 [JC (Ryo)]: We don't need to know what the target is every time. 01:21:32.819 --> 01:21:32.939 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:21:34.240 --> 01:21:34.881 [Riv (DM)]: 18. 01:21:40.126 --> 01:21:40.909 [Riv (DM)]: Looking at my notes. 01:21:41.873 --> 01:21:43.358 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:21:43.378 --> 01:21:47.373 [Riv (DM)]: You swing the hammer down surprisingly quickly. 01:21:47.474 --> 01:21:49.461 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone, like, your friend's kind of like, 01:21:49.728 --> 01:21:53.353 [Riv (DM)]: Anyway, isn't this dude like a book nerd who's like into history and stuff like that? 01:21:53.394 --> 01:22:11.601 [Riv (DM)]: But you just see Naldondar square up, like making this chunk of steel on the end of a stick just fly down towards the thing, smashes into it and you see the thing like fly up and it's not quite as fast as the big dude from before but it does manage to get all the way to the top, smash the bell and it just rings out. 01:22:12.425 --> 01:22:16.949 [Riv (DM)]: And everyone around kind of looks a bit surprised, cheering and stuff. 01:22:17.009 --> 01:22:19.051 [Riv (DM)]: And he's like, well done. 01:22:19.472 --> 01:22:20.032 [Riv (DM)]: Well done, Dwarf. 01:22:21.234 --> 01:22:21.574 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 01:22:22.335 --> 01:22:23.115 [Riv (DM)]: Very, very impressive. 01:22:23.135 --> 01:22:23.836 [Riv (DM)]: Here you go. 01:22:24.076 --> 01:22:24.757 [Riv (DM)]: As promised. 01:22:24.777 --> 01:22:26.479 [Riv (DM)]: And he hands you back 20 gold. 01:22:28.260 --> 01:22:29.001 [Lacer (Kai)]: Excellent job. 01:22:29.441 --> 01:22:30.763 [Lacer (Kai)]: Good job, Dondar. 01:22:30.783 --> 01:22:32.604 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Shows the advantage of having a good low base. 01:22:35.107 --> 01:22:41.453 [Riv (DM)]: So you, Valoran, do you want to just roll a perception check for me, assuming you were watching that? 01:22:45.314 --> 01:22:57.235 [Lacer (Kai)]: The question is, do I passably see it? 01:22:57.275 --> 01:22:58.518 [Riv (DM)]: Claire, yeah, you can look as well. 01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:04.909 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, you were watching it, obviously, but there's something else I'm potentially going to try and... Oh, okay. 01:23:08.787 --> 01:23:09.689 [Riv (DM)]: No problem. 01:23:10.410 --> 01:23:11.151 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:23:11.171 --> 01:23:25.716 [Riv (DM)]: Um, so that, um, the, the little ball that goes flying up the, this like wooden tube to hit the bell at the top, um, it just hit the bell at that score. 01:23:26.185 --> 01:23:27.166 [Riv (DM)]: So it hit it and it rung it. 01:23:28.468 --> 01:23:32.833 [Riv (DM)]: You get the feeling that if Dondar had hit it just a little bit less than that, it probably wouldn't have hit the bell. 01:23:33.895 --> 01:23:42.485 [Riv (DM)]: But there's also a lot of headroom where if you went above that, then it might have made a much louder ringing sound. 01:23:42.525 --> 01:23:44.768 [Riv (DM)]: So you get the feeling that Dondar was about on the mark. 01:23:46.671 --> 01:23:47.031 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right. 01:23:48.353 --> 01:23:48.913 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 01:23:48.933 --> 01:23:51.737 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mentioned that to Valerian. 01:23:51.977 --> 01:23:55.922 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you hit just a little bit harder than Dondar just now... 01:23:56.746 --> 01:23:57.987 [Lacer (Kai)]: You'd smash it. 01:23:58.928 --> 01:24:00.030 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's doable. 01:24:02.753 --> 01:24:04.134 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to see you do better. 01:24:04.174 --> 01:24:08.379 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd give him a wink, no problem. 01:24:12.263 --> 01:24:13.224 [Lacer (Kai)]: But later tonight. 01:24:13.965 --> 01:24:21.713 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I head back to the group and say, well, sunset seems to be when they shut things down and also means it's probably the least people around to notice anything. 01:24:22.374 --> 01:24:23.175 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Everyone heading off for dinner. 01:24:25.602 --> 01:24:36.776 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just wondering if Rio wants to quickly head out just to the outskirts of the forest and get some familiarity with his new toy. 01:24:37.897 --> 01:24:40.060 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe shoot a tree or a log or something. 01:24:41.161 --> 01:24:43.464 [Lacer (Kai)]: Just to suss things out. 01:24:43.484 --> 01:24:44.645 [JC (Ryo)]: What time of the day is it, Riv? 01:24:44.906 --> 01:24:46.007 [JC (Ryo)]: Do we have time to do that? 01:24:46.768 --> 01:24:48.370 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's still early afternoon. 01:24:49.987 --> 01:24:52.690 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, it shouldn't take you too long to get used to it. 01:24:53.772 --> 01:24:58.578 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We should probably drop off the mats we've bought today as well. 01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:00.521 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh yeah, that's a good idea. 01:25:03.965 --> 01:25:11.455 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: When are we going to come to a head with our short friend? 01:25:13.057 --> 01:25:14.779 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: You need to be with her at midnight. 01:25:16.784 --> 01:25:18.226 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think I will stay with you guys. 01:25:18.266 --> 01:25:20.249 [Lacer (Kai)]: I might help you guys out with that thing. 01:25:20.529 --> 01:25:25.977 [Lacer (Kai)]: I might be able to give you some... enhance your ability with the craft. 01:25:25.997 --> 01:25:27.980 [Lacer (Kai)]: I meant the other short friend. 01:25:28.942 --> 01:25:31.405 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think that's on the back. 01:25:31.425 --> 01:25:36.973 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I was almost going to suggest maybe some sort of blessing on the shooter might make it more accurate. 01:25:37.314 --> 01:25:38.375 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, blessing on the shooter? 01:25:38.515 --> 01:25:38.856 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 01:25:39.617 --> 01:25:40.779 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why can't I do both? 01:25:40.939 --> 01:25:44.124 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because it's like an hour, lasts for an hour. 01:25:44.144 --> 01:25:45.846 [JC (Ryo)]: Can you have both up at the same time? 01:25:46.147 --> 01:25:52.417 [Lacer (Kai)]: If I, I think, I believe, if I can't use my spell... Well, it depends what you're wanting to do. 01:25:52.437 --> 01:25:57.444 [Riv (DM)]: If you're doing Bless, then you can do multiple people, but if... No, Enhanceability. 01:25:58.065 --> 01:26:00.048 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so that won't help with shooting. 01:26:00.649 --> 01:26:04.215 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, that's two different things. 01:26:04.235 --> 01:26:07.400 [Lacer (Kai)]: The question is, do I have Bless? 01:26:08.201 --> 01:26:11.186 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't have Bless to pair today, unfortunately. 01:26:13.609 --> 01:26:14.010 [Lacer (Kai)]: Unfortunately. 01:26:15.509 --> 01:26:18.914 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have Guidance, though. 01:26:18.934 --> 01:26:20.136 [Riv (DM)]: Does Guidance help with shooting? 01:26:20.737 --> 01:26:22.019 [Riv (DM)]: Or is it just Ability Checks? 01:26:22.039 --> 01:26:23.201 [Riv (DM)]: I think it's just Ability Checks, yeah. 01:26:23.221 --> 01:26:24.603 [Riv (DM)]: It's not really a combat ability. 01:26:24.623 --> 01:26:32.376 [Lacer (Kai)]: Guidance... Yeah, Ability Check. 01:26:32.396 --> 01:26:33.177 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, sorry. 01:26:33.377 --> 01:26:36.302 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can't really help you today with that. 01:26:38.442 --> 01:26:49.578 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We will need at least one person with the shooter to help, and help is the definitive word there, aka the help action to give them advantage. 01:26:53.824 --> 01:26:53.904 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 01:26:53.924 --> 01:27:03.117 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think, yeah, the best thing I can do is help Belinda and Dondar if I enhance their ability to craft whatever they need. 01:27:04.599 --> 01:27:05.340 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah, that's what I can do. 01:27:05.360 --> 01:27:05.901 [Unmatched Speaker]: I'll be with the shooter. 01:27:09.965 --> 01:27:12.027 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alright. 01:27:13.569 --> 01:27:20.056 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm concerned that we may get a visit from the guard before midnight. 01:27:22.539 --> 01:27:22.820 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why? 01:27:22.880 --> 01:27:23.100 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why? 01:27:23.380 --> 01:27:23.721 [Lacer (Kai)]: Why? 01:27:24.942 --> 01:27:27.185 [Lacer (Kai)]: We mentioned a worried person. 01:27:28.346 --> 01:27:31.870 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh yeah, but like, you know, I think they should be worried. 01:27:31.890 --> 01:27:36.435 [Lacer (Kai)]: Their freaking top dog is kind of like 10 foot underground. 01:27:37.136 --> 01:27:38.217 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: He's missing an ocean. 01:27:39.260 --> 01:27:39.740 [Lacer (Kai)]: He is. 01:27:40.281 --> 01:27:41.642 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And who does he cozy up to? 01:27:41.662 --> 01:27:45.106 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't know. 01:27:45.746 --> 01:27:47.488 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The Halfling and the Dwarf. 01:27:49.470 --> 01:27:51.132 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: All of them can identify us. 01:27:52.913 --> 01:27:54.135 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, but they don't know what happened. 01:27:54.195 --> 01:27:56.477 [Lacer (Kai)]: They don't know. 01:27:56.517 --> 01:27:58.138 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe. 01:28:00.441 --> 01:28:02.202 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, I think I get your drift. 01:28:02.623 --> 01:28:05.906 [Lacer (Kai)]: I mean, the Halfling kid may have ratted us out. 01:28:05.966 --> 01:28:06.887 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is that what you're thinking? 01:28:07.525 --> 01:28:09.967 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: If he hasn't, they will probably ask him. 01:28:10.848 --> 01:28:12.049 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And they will probably ask the dwarf. 01:28:15.713 --> 01:28:16.594 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Or the dwarf knows nothing. 01:28:18.776 --> 01:28:25.903 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The dwarf knows there is someone that the height of a tall person is with us. 01:28:28.265 --> 01:28:35.372 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think that shouldn't matter, but I think we might have to look for Hugo, see where he lives just in case. 01:28:37.192 --> 01:28:47.563 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I would not anticipate getting out of this night without side effects from the tower and from the guard. 01:28:49.465 --> 01:28:54.390 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, that's two different problems, which could make quite the big problem. 01:28:55.672 --> 01:29:00.837 [Lacer (Kai)]: So where to from now, knowing that we have these things in the back of our mind? 01:29:01.913 --> 01:29:05.136 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Maybe we need to split. 01:29:05.156 --> 01:29:09.561 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: The people that are going to Blinda go to Blinda unless they want to partake in some more games. 01:29:11.403 --> 01:29:16.167 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: And the shooter team prepares to do the shooting. 01:29:18.790 --> 01:29:20.151 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Unless you want to go practice the shooting. 01:29:24.196 --> 01:29:31.583 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I ask, sorry, can I ask the people that have the archery games what they're enacting? 01:29:34.060 --> 01:29:35.562 [Riv (DM)]: Are you asking the kids? 01:29:36.663 --> 01:29:38.285 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, or the people running the game. 01:29:40.108 --> 01:29:41.670 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What are they reenacting? 01:29:41.710 --> 01:29:42.351 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What are they doing? 01:29:44.654 --> 01:29:53.405 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, for brevity, rather than roleplaying it all out, they are just kind of emulating monsters from the Darkwood, essentially. 01:29:54.026 --> 01:29:59.513 [Riv (DM)]: This town has been attacked by monsters throughout the years and so everyone kind of have a vague idea of a bunch of them. 01:30:00.855 --> 01:30:03.358 [Riv (DM)]: Hearing you ask, one of the kids pokes his head around and says, 01:30:03.338 --> 01:30:05.682 [Riv (DM)]: I'm a, I'm a displacer beast, look! 01:30:05.862 --> 01:30:12.012 [Riv (DM)]: And he like holds it up and you can see this sort of black tiger looking thing with these weird like tentacle heads coming out from behind his body. 01:30:12.452 --> 01:30:14.676 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah, just creatures. 01:30:16.879 --> 01:30:21.146 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, the guy's like, get me behind the grate. 01:30:21.166 --> 01:30:24.551 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You know, we don't get the sense that it's something that happens around the solstice. 01:30:26.855 --> 01:30:31.422 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, can we, can we ask him when was the last time the town was attacked? 01:30:33.038 --> 01:30:34.680 [Riv (DM)]: It's been a couple of months. 01:30:34.981 --> 01:30:37.864 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think it's ever happened at the solstice. 01:30:39.286 --> 01:30:40.568 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, maybe a couple of years ago it did. 01:30:42.430 --> 01:30:42.991 [Riv (DM)]: Very unlikely. 01:30:43.211 --> 01:30:46.856 [Riv (DM)]: The spire will light up and creatures don't like that. 01:30:46.936 --> 01:30:49.219 [Riv (DM)]: So I'd have to be very desperate to come out tonight. 01:30:49.380 --> 01:30:49.840 [Riv (DM)]: That's for sure. 01:30:53.806 --> 01:30:54.186 [Unmatched Speaker]: Thank you. 01:30:55.145 --> 01:30:55.405 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:30:56.406 --> 01:30:57.928 [Riv (DM)]: The Spire is a defence mechanism. 01:30:59.329 --> 01:31:04.234 [Riv (DM)]: It's what they use to light up the whole town in the case of an attack at night time. 01:31:05.955 --> 01:31:12.922 [Riv (DM)]: So it would be an interesting timing for the monsters to attack at the Solstice, but who knows? 01:31:15.464 --> 01:31:16.105 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty, cool. 01:31:16.185 --> 01:31:18.447 [Riv (DM)]: So a couple of things I guess we can do. 01:31:18.547 --> 01:31:22.030 [Riv (DM)]: So we can scout out positions for the archery team to go. 01:31:22.151 --> 01:31:24.713 [Riv (DM)]: We can go and do some practice archery. 01:31:24.811 --> 01:31:27.236 [Riv (DM)]: We can go and see Hugor, or we can go to Belinda. 01:31:27.276 --> 01:31:28.158 [Riv (DM)]: What are we thinking? 01:31:35.712 --> 01:31:36.674 [Lacer (Kai)]: Split the party, eh? 01:31:38.818 --> 01:31:47.275 [JC (Ryo)]: I was thinking scouting this position, but if they've got one already, that we're going to use the old one. 01:31:49.398 --> 01:31:50.899 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We need to drop off the materials. 01:31:52.121 --> 01:31:54.283 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Or at least whoever's going there needs to take them with them. 01:31:54.763 --> 01:31:59.328 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, Dondon needs to be there so that's a good excuse for the materials to go there when that happens. 01:32:01.230 --> 01:32:01.630 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Cool. 01:32:01.650 --> 01:32:05.894 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: We don't need to do a full party trek up there because the guy who needs to be there is going to be there. 01:32:06.895 --> 01:32:07.896 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 01:32:08.076 --> 01:32:14.983 [Riv (DM)]: Now just for my benefit, was the plan to do it as it starts to get dark or was it like literally to do it at midnight? 01:32:17.090 --> 01:32:20.454 [Lacer (Kai)]: Probably like a minute before midnight, is that what your plan was? 01:32:21.075 --> 01:32:29.485 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: That was the original plan but if we have the bell to do noise cover then as it's getting dark and the market will be quieter because everyone's going for dinner might be the best bet. 01:32:30.446 --> 01:32:32.529 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah maybe then dinner time. 01:32:32.549 --> 01:32:37.615 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay dim light won't be as obvious and yeah sun cover. 01:32:37.975 --> 01:32:39.677 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah okay cool. 01:32:39.697 --> 01:32:42.320 [Riv (DM)]: All right sweet so should we do um should we do Belinda then? 01:32:43.802 --> 01:32:44.062 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:32:44.423 --> 01:32:46.185 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet is that Dondarr and Kai going? 01:32:46.823 --> 01:32:47.604 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do her gently. 01:32:51.408 --> 01:32:52.028 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I can come. 01:32:52.509 --> 01:32:53.370 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I can tell her. 01:32:53.850 --> 01:32:56.513 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll help with the crafting. 01:32:57.774 --> 01:32:59.816 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, that sounds good. 01:32:59.837 --> 01:33:00.557 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, right. 01:33:00.617 --> 01:33:02.479 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can get back there and you can see her again. 01:33:02.499 --> 01:33:05.262 [Riv (DM)]: And as you come back, she says, all right, you're successful. 01:33:05.322 --> 01:33:05.923 [Riv (DM)]: You got it in there. 01:33:06.123 --> 01:33:07.304 [Riv (DM)]: We all good to go for tonight. 01:33:09.406 --> 01:33:10.608 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we will be. 01:33:10.868 --> 01:33:12.590 [Lacer (Kai)]: We'll be good for tonight. 01:33:12.610 --> 01:33:13.010 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 01:33:13.250 --> 01:33:13.611 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 01:33:13.651 --> 01:33:14.772 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 01:33:14.870 --> 01:33:16.981 [Riv (DM)]: Well, Dondar, are you ready? 01:33:20.601 --> 01:33:22.652 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 01:33:23.155 --> 01:33:27.582 [Riv (DM)]: Need you on your absolute sharpest tonight Dondar, there's gonna be a lot to do. 01:33:27.622 --> 01:33:31.748 [Riv (DM)]: Here look, come over here, let me show you a couple of things. 01:33:32.169 --> 01:33:36.976 [Riv (DM)]: She brings you to the main table and she points out that instrument that you saw there yesterday. 01:33:37.998 --> 01:33:40.021 [Riv (DM)]: Manacles. 01:33:40.041 --> 01:33:41.744 [Riv (DM)]: Jesus Christ, you guys are insane. 01:33:42.665 --> 01:33:45.990 [Riv (DM)]: Why is it that whenever we meet a woman you guys immediately sexualize her? 01:33:47.132 --> 01:33:48.454 [Riv (DM)]: I didn't say that. 01:33:48.434 --> 01:33:49.936 [Riv (DM)]: Oh dear. 01:33:50.396 --> 01:33:51.798 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It has been the theme. 01:33:52.339 --> 01:33:57.204 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there's like a little steel sort of instrument with like prongs like sticking out of it. 01:33:58.085 --> 01:33:58.606 [Riv (DM)]: She points out. 01:33:59.127 --> 01:34:02.831 [Riv (DM)]: So this will be the thing that captures the energy as it's getting sent from the tower. 01:34:03.572 --> 01:34:05.334 [Riv (DM)]: So you'll want your weapon. 01:34:06.075 --> 01:34:07.196 [Riv (DM)]: You brought your weapon, right? 01:34:09.339 --> 01:34:10.420 [Riv (DM)]: The one that we're going to be introducing? 01:34:10.480 --> 01:34:10.560 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yes. 01:34:11.300 --> 01:34:13.224 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We brought a rapier, yes. 01:34:13.485 --> 01:34:14.307 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent, excellent. 01:34:14.347 --> 01:34:18.797 [Riv (DM)]: So chuck that up here on the table and the exotic materials. 01:34:21.544 --> 01:34:21.825 Okay. 01:34:22.326 --> 01:34:23.087 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 01:34:23.108 --> 01:34:23.468 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sweet. 01:34:23.508 --> 01:34:29.342 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep, it's like hydroscale and tree thing, tree sap or something. 01:34:29.660 --> 01:34:31.183 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Eldertree. 01:34:31.483 --> 01:34:35.310 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, she pops open the little sort of ring case thing that has the scale on it. 01:34:35.330 --> 01:34:37.314 [Riv (DM)]: She looks like, oh, that's a beauty, this one, isn't it? 01:34:37.334 --> 01:34:37.755 [Riv (DM)]: Look at that. 01:34:38.376 --> 01:34:38.757 [Riv (DM)]: Very nice. 01:34:38.777 --> 01:34:42.203 [Riv (DM)]: It should do just the trick, and... Alright, I see. 01:34:42.243 --> 01:34:45.489 [Riv (DM)]: So you're going for a deadly sword, I see. 01:34:46.411 --> 01:34:47.232 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, alright. 01:34:50.117 --> 01:34:50.959 [Riv (DM)]: Well, don't... 01:34:52.188 --> 01:34:59.001 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, mine's already good to go and she taps the rod that was sitting there the day before. 01:34:59.703 --> 01:35:03.891 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like a plain sort of steel rod and she's already done some engravings on it. 01:35:04.332 --> 01:35:06.636 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's right, I remember. 01:35:06.817 --> 01:35:12.728 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, she's making a rod that will teleport her to Archangel. 01:35:12.826 --> 01:35:16.852 [Riv (DM)]: And she's got a mixture of other ingredients that she's pulled together. 01:35:16.872 --> 01:35:27.708 [Riv (DM)]: There's a couple of vials of the hop oil that she's just finished crushing together, which she explains is just a good sort of binding agent in a pinch, and a bunch of other random things. 01:35:28.048 --> 01:35:30.572 [Riv (DM)]: And she sort of talks you through what will be required. 01:35:30.672 --> 01:35:39.525 [Riv (DM)]: So she's expecting there to be three or four bursts of energy that comes through, assuming, you know, everything goes according to plan. 01:35:39.792 --> 01:35:47.021 [Riv (DM)]: And during these bursts of energy, there will need to be some sort of skill checks. 01:35:48.242 --> 01:35:54.210 [Riv (DM)]: You'll need to time the energy as it's coming in to help bind the exotic materials to the sword. 01:35:54.970 --> 01:36:01.518 [Riv (DM)]: She gives you some bits of scroll with incantations that you need to read at the same time. 01:36:01.578 --> 01:36:04.262 [Riv (DM)]: All sorts of things like that. 01:36:04.282 --> 01:36:05.243 [Riv (DM)]: She kind of talks you through it. 01:36:06.104 --> 01:36:09.428 [Riv (DM)]: And she essentially just lets you know that 01:36:11.382 --> 01:36:24.120 [Riv (DM)]: Have a think about, I guess I should say, Dondar, have a think about the skills that you're most proficient in and how you can use them to our best advantage. 01:36:24.140 --> 01:36:26.664 [Riv (DM)]: Because when it comes to it, it's going to be a lot of quick thinking. 01:36:26.704 --> 01:36:29.528 [Riv (DM)]: It doesn't always go exactly the same way with things like this. 01:36:30.329 --> 01:36:33.914 [Riv (DM)]: So just have a think, have a think what you're best at and see how you can apply it. 01:36:35.056 --> 01:36:35.837 [Riv (DM)]: Does that make sense? 01:36:37.150 --> 01:36:40.574 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, you'll have to tell me what you're proficient in, Belinda. 01:36:40.634 --> 01:36:49.906 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can help you guys with a bit of enhanced ability magic so that you can both have a better chance at crafting these magical items. 01:36:49.926 --> 01:36:51.648 [Riv (DM)]: Well, that's wonderful. 01:36:51.788 --> 01:36:55.052 [Riv (DM)]: I recommend you help out Dondar here as much as possible. 01:36:55.533 --> 01:36:56.935 [Riv (DM)]: I think I'll probably be alright, to be honest. 01:36:57.896 --> 01:36:58.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: You sure? 01:36:58.396 --> 01:37:00.018 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can cast it on two people. 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:02.922 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, I mean, if it's no hassle, then that'd be excellent. 01:37:04.336 --> 01:37:07.599 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, just tell me what you need tonight. 01:37:07.619 --> 01:37:08.280 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, sounds good. 01:37:09.080 --> 01:37:10.221 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I think we're pretty much ready to go. 01:37:10.301 --> 01:37:14.485 [Riv (DM)]: Now it's just the waiting game and, and uh, yeah. 01:37:14.505 --> 01:37:17.568 [Riv (DM)]: Hoping your friends, hoping your friends pull through, eh? 01:37:19.009 --> 01:37:20.431 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think that'll be it. 01:37:20.451 --> 01:37:21.532 [Riv (DM)]: Aye. 01:37:21.552 --> 01:37:21.672 [Riv (DM)]: Aye. 01:37:22.493 --> 01:37:22.893 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 01:37:22.933 --> 01:37:23.754 [Riv (DM)]: That all make sense? 01:37:25.655 --> 01:37:26.877 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yup. 01:37:26.897 --> 01:37:27.897 [Riv (DM)]: Yup, maybe. 01:37:29.539 --> 01:37:32.942 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just whip out the clockwork amulet and look over it. 01:37:33.698 --> 01:37:36.521 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because I don't need to attune to it, apparently. 01:37:36.541 --> 01:37:37.642 [Lacer (Kai)]: It just works. 01:37:37.882 --> 01:37:39.603 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to see its craftsmanship. 01:37:40.064 --> 01:37:43.006 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, she's extremely skilled. 01:37:43.327 --> 01:37:44.608 [Riv (DM)]: It's wonderfully put together. 01:37:45.689 --> 01:37:51.034 [Riv (DM)]: The only thing that's kind of weird is just this cursive engraving on the back that's all kind of glowing. 01:37:52.035 --> 01:37:53.616 [Riv (DM)]: But now it's changed colour. 01:37:53.636 --> 01:37:54.777 [Riv (DM)]: It's now a blue colour. 01:37:56.138 --> 01:37:59.241 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's fancy. 01:37:59.682 --> 01:38:00.102 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's cool. 01:38:00.302 --> 01:38:01.343 [Lacer (Kai)]: I got that for free. 01:38:02.740 --> 01:38:05.946 [Riv (DM)]: So, let's jump back to our other team. 01:38:06.386 --> 01:38:09.692 [Riv (DM)]: So, Earendor, Valeran and Rio. 01:38:10.634 --> 01:38:14.400 [Riv (DM)]: Are we going to the house to scout it out at this point? 01:38:18.788 --> 01:38:22.354 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yep, I think Earendor should lead the way on that one since he was, pardon me, up there first. 01:38:25.860 --> 01:38:26.601 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, alright. 01:38:26.762 --> 01:38:27.583 [JC (Ryo)]: I believe he was on the roof. 01:38:29.943 --> 01:38:33.367 [Riv (DM)]: So, I guess talk me through how we're getting onto the roof. 01:38:34.388 --> 01:38:34.988 [Riv (DM)]: Lots of people around. 01:38:35.029 --> 01:38:39.593 [Riv (DM)]: Is it just a, do you want to just try and climb? 01:38:40.394 --> 01:38:43.418 [Riv (DM)]: Which case we'll need some athletics checks or are we doing something else? 01:38:45.460 --> 01:38:49.364 [JC (Ryo)]: Is there a back alley or something or is there somewhere where we can climb up without being seen or? 01:38:50.365 --> 01:38:54.630 [Riv (DM)]: You could probably go behind the building, but you know, there are plenty of other buildings around. 01:38:55.230 --> 01:38:57.553 [Riv (DM)]: You're not exactly completely hidden. 01:39:00.638 --> 01:39:03.868 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so it's just me and Erendor going up? 01:39:03.888 --> 01:39:04.771 [JC (Ryo)]: You're not coming up at all? 01:39:06.356 --> 01:39:07.379 [JC (Ryo)]: Nope, no need for me to go up. 01:39:08.222 --> 01:39:08.382 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 01:39:08.402 --> 01:39:10.709 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you roll an investigation check, both of you? 01:39:11.973 --> 01:39:13.197 [Riv (DM)]: Just to see if you can find a good spot. 01:39:20.365 --> 01:39:22.568 [Riv (DM)]: There we go, look at that. 01:39:23.569 --> 01:39:40.388 [Riv (DM)]: One of the houses actually just to the side has got this chimney place sticking out the back beside a back room that sort of comes off at an angle and there's a spot right in between the chimney and that back room which pretty much completely obscures vision from all directions and so you can scamper up there. 01:39:40.969 --> 01:39:43.332 [Riv (DM)]: If you want to climb directly up there I'll need an athletics check. 01:39:45.755 --> 01:39:48.718 [Riv (DM)]: You can kind of like squeeze yourself between the chimney and the wall. 01:39:50.032 --> 01:39:55.399 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so we're doing this now, just confirming?

02:22:56.802 --> 02:23:02.408 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Yeah, we're just passing through, I guess, at the right time. 02:23:03.770 --> 02:23:04.691 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that's wonderful. 02:23:04.731 --> 02:23:06.152 [Riv (DM)]: Have you got any candles?

02:23:32.113 --> 02:23:32.774 [Riv (DM)]: Don't worry about it. 02:23:33.696 --> 02:23:34.016 [Riv (DM)]: It's all good. 02:23:34.036 --> 02:23:35.599 [Riv (DM)]: I was going to offer you one of mine. 02:23:36.288 --> 02:23:38.191 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, well, I hope you enjoy. 02:23:38.231 --> 02:23:41.716 [Riv (DM)]: It's looking like a great night for it. 02:23:43.479 --> 02:23:46.263 [Riv (DM)]: She wanders off back with the rest of the crowds. 02:23:46.303 --> 02:23:48.025 [Riv (DM)]: So you two, you standing there with your candles? 02:23:52.372 --> 02:23:52.592 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:23:53.313 --> 02:23:58.361 [Riv (DM)]: I guess you probably would light the other one off the clicking candle, right? 02:23:58.381 --> 02:23:59.983 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm just... yeah. 02:24:00.706 --> 02:24:02.329 [Riv (DM)]: You turned down the gift of an old woman? 02:24:02.349 --> 02:24:05.093 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Walk over to some random person and go, I'm taking your light. 02:24:07.016 --> 02:24:10.482 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, um, cool. 02:24:10.502 --> 02:24:17.213 [Riv (DM)]: So, um, time goes by as people, more and more people are starting to gather here in this, in the centre, um, 02:24:18.205 --> 02:24:22.711 [Riv (DM)]: It gets to the point where probably mostly everyone in the whole town is congregated here. 02:24:22.731 --> 02:24:23.452 [Riv (DM)]: It's just packed. 02:24:23.632 --> 02:24:24.633 [Riv (DM)]: It's thronging with people. 02:24:25.174 --> 02:24:29.139 [Riv (DM)]: And there's a little bit of chatter, a little bit of humming, but most people are quite quiet. 02:24:29.179 --> 02:24:37.570 [Riv (DM)]: Most people are sort of respecting the evening and what it really means for the town and for the world in general, I guess, coming to the new year. 02:24:39.973 --> 02:24:42.576 [Riv (DM)]: And after not too long, 02:24:42.556 --> 02:24:44.099 [Riv (DM)]: The doors to the spire. 02:24:44.720 --> 02:24:48.807 [Riv (DM)]: Big double doors on the front here that you can see from where you're standing. 02:24:49.889 --> 02:24:53.355 [Riv (DM)]: Just crack open both of them and light spills out from behind it. 02:24:54.417 --> 02:25:06.758 [Riv (DM)]: Insulated and walking out, a few, four or five people with bright golden cloaks come walking out and just stand along the base of the spire, holding much larger candles. 02:25:06.738 --> 02:25:15.348 [Riv (DM)]: And up above, sort of one story up, there is a balcony that you would have seen when Erendor was flying up around. 02:25:15.388 --> 02:25:23.076 [Riv (DM)]: The doors to this balcony also open and the woman that you saw earlier in the day comes out. 02:25:24.378 --> 02:25:34.669 [Riv (DM)]: The senior Emberwarden, she sort of raises her hands in welcome and calls out to everyone as they're gathered. 02:25:36.978 --> 02:25:46.151 [Riv (DM)]: Welcome, friends, family, guests and all, to the 457th Emberlight Vigil. 02:25:47.893 --> 02:25:57.366 [Riv (DM)]: Tonight, once again at the conjunction of the planes, we give our thanks to our ancient protector for constantly standing watch, unwavering in our darkest hours. 02:25:59.725 --> 02:26:12.372 [Riv (DM)]: She continues on in a similar sort of manner, just recounting the events of the year, talking about positive things that have happened to the community, negative things, people that were lost, new people that have joined, and so on and so on. 02:26:14.196 --> 02:26:18.645 [Riv (DM)]: At one point she says, she stops and says, and so with that, 02:26:18.862 --> 02:26:23.627 [Riv (DM)]: Now, and as always, to show our appreciation, we take our turn to stand vigil. 02:26:24.809 --> 02:26:35.501 [Riv (DM)]: And at this, looking around the crowd, you see everyone just sort of silently bows their head and stands in silence looking down at their candles for about a minute. 02:26:38.664 --> 02:26:46.573 [Riv (DM)]: Towards the end of the minute as this is happening, you see up at the top of the spire a glow start to emanate. 02:26:47.532 --> 02:27:04.035 [Riv (DM)]: It appears like a bright bonfire, getting brighter and brighter, just with these golden hues, and as it feels like it's about to illuminate this entire courtyard, you see the base of the tower. 02:27:04.816 --> 02:27:16.071 [Riv (DM)]: All those symbols that you saw earlier in the day, they all alight, golden symbols now, and the spiralling pattern of light starts to wind its way up the tower. 02:27:19.780 --> 02:27:26.367 [Riv (DM)]: Now, at this point, I would remind you... Actually, why don't we do this? 02:27:31.333 --> 02:27:33.635 [Lacer (Kai)]: Roll for initiative. 02:27:33.655 --> 02:27:39.962 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: I lean over to Erendor and quietly say, What's the bet on the tower exploding with this stupid spike in it? 02:27:41.544 --> 02:27:47.290 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Either it explodes, or... Yeah, something else is gonna happen. 02:27:47.793 --> 02:27:49.115 [Riv (DM)]: So this is sort of what I'm imagining. 02:27:49.395 --> 02:27:53.140 [Riv (DM)]: This sort of spiralling golden light starts to wind its way up and around. 02:27:55.082 --> 02:28:02.232 [Riv (DM)]: So, yesterday when you spoke to Belinda, she told you that she was about 87% confident that this was going to go totally fine. 02:28:06.357 --> 02:28:07.158 [Riv (DM)]: We're going to roll that now. 02:28:07.198 --> 02:28:08.179 [Riv (DM)]: The shop explodes. 02:28:09.501 --> 02:28:11.644 [Riv (DM)]: So, um, who would like to roll it? 02:28:12.185 --> 02:28:17.091 [Riv (DM)]: And before you roll it, I need you to tell me if you want to roll high or if you want to roll low. 02:28:21.188 --> 02:28:21.729 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Um, what? 02:28:24.012 --> 02:28:34.205 [Riv (DM)]: I just, I need someone to roll a D100 percentile, and you either wanna roll high or you wanna roll low, because you could either roll a 13 or below, or you could roll 87 or above. 02:28:35.427 --> 02:28:36.408 [Riv (DM)]: Or I guess it'd be 88 and above. 02:28:37.830 --> 02:28:42.717 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to cast Enhance Ability, since it's getting close to thing. 02:28:42.737 --> 02:28:45.180 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, for Belinda and Dondar. 02:28:46.162 --> 02:28:48.765 [Lacer (Kai)]: For their Fox's Cunning. 02:28:49.690 --> 02:28:50.992 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's level 3. 02:28:52.113 --> 02:28:54.477 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Belinda at this point, let's say, it's happening soon. 02:28:54.617 --> 02:28:55.118 [Riv (DM)]: I can feel it. 02:28:55.658 --> 02:28:56.960 [Riv (DM)]: We're nearly on the solstice. 02:28:57.361 --> 02:28:57.741 [Riv (DM)]: Get ready. 02:28:58.262 --> 02:29:04.611 [Riv (DM)]: Um, at this point you can cast your thing. 02:29:04.631 --> 02:29:05.753 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I don't want to counter you on that. 02:29:05.813 --> 02:29:07.395 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Let's make it 20 against the rest of the team. 02:29:09.938 --> 02:29:10.039 [Vael (Vaeleran)]: Okay. 02:29:10.059 --> 02:29:10.860 [Riv (DM)]: I'm rolling high. 02:29:11.621 --> 02:29:14.505 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, wait, so you don't want to roll below 13?

02:30:58.511 --> 02:30:59.513 [Riv (DM)]: Like as an action. 02:31:00.514 --> 02:31:02.517 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I can't remember what we're building. 02:31:03.357 --> 02:31:13.892 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I imagine reach into the void of my mind and join with the energy incoming from the tower and direct it towards the object. 02:31:13.912 --> 02:31:14.593 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:31:14.613 --> 02:31:14.833 [Riv (DM)]: Great. 02:31:14.853 --> 02:31:15.034 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:31:15.094 --> 02:31:23.285 [Riv (DM)]: So you can, using your arcane knowledge, you can like reach out and sort of direct the flow of energy from the device into the rapier itself. 02:31:23.466 --> 02:31:23.986 [Riv (DM)]: So cool. 02:31:24.026 --> 02:31:25.929 [Riv (DM)]: Go ahead and roll your arcana check. 02:31:25.949 --> 02:31:30.816 [Riv (DM)]: And I believe you got advantage with this because it's an intellect check, right? 02:31:31.893 --> 02:31:33.234 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's what proficiency means, yes. 02:31:34.055 --> 02:31:36.197 [Riv (DM)]: It'll be from Kai's Blessing, I believe. 02:31:36.337 --> 02:31:36.697 [Riv (DM)]: Kai. 02:31:36.998 --> 02:31:37.298 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:31:37.318 --> 02:31:39.980 [Riv (DM)]: 18's good. 02:31:40.541 --> 02:31:47.507 [Riv (DM)]: You direct the flow of energy and the whole sword itself starts to glow orange and yellow and gold, all these hues starting to spark around it. 02:31:48.028 --> 02:31:52.052 [Riv (DM)]: And you see Belinda's also doing things, she's picking ingredients, she's starting to combine different things. 02:31:52.092 --> 02:31:56.295 [Riv (DM)]: She looks over and sees what you're doing, she's like, excellent, yes, that's good, exactly like that, just like we talked. 02:31:58.037 --> 02:31:59.098 [Riv (DM)]: Back at the vigil. 02:31:59.770 --> 02:32:10.203 [Riv (DM)]: The beam again shoots up into the sky a second time and again another big bassy rumbling roar just like bellows out from the tower and back in the shop, the device again picks up the energy. 02:32:10.564 --> 02:32:12.085 [Riv (DM)]: What's your next ability check, Dondar? 02:32:14.348 --> 02:32:16.831 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's going to be history. 02:32:17.452 --> 02:32:19.315 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Cool, so how are you going to be using that? 02:32:21.117 --> 02:32:27.685 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Similar to Arcana, my knowledge of ancient magic. 02:32:28.390 --> 02:32:52.525 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: To do a similar sort of feel and divide in flow based on what I know of how magic of that era might work and to safeguard against any errant beams of energy. 02:32:53.078 --> 02:32:54.220 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so that's good. 02:32:54.240 --> 02:33:04.799 [Riv (DM)]: So drawing upon your knowledge of all these books that you've read over the years, you think about ways that you don't want to blow everything up by trying to channel too much of them energy. 02:33:05.480 --> 02:33:15.918 [Riv (DM)]: So you're able to combine the ingredients together so they're closer together and channel not too much of the energy, but maybe use it to separate and start to combine with the other two ingredients. 02:33:16.619 --> 02:33:17.601 [Riv (DM)]: Roll your history check. 02:33:19.184 --> 02:33:20.426 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Disadvantage as well?

02:34:16.395 --> 02:34:38.685 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Third check is Investigation, where I will essentially do an offhand Q&A with the incoming energy and work out what it wants, what I want it to do, and we'll try and work together for an arrangement that suits both of us. 02:34:39.104 --> 02:34:41.268 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Into the items. 02:34:41.288 --> 02:34:46.338 [Riv (DM)]: So you're sort of like trying to figure out the best way to actually apply it in this specific moment here. 02:34:47.260 --> 02:34:51.047 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, with my intrusive understanding. 02:34:51.608 --> 02:34:57.740 [Riv (DM)]: Alright cool, roll it. 02:34:57.760 --> 02:34:59.323 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, too easy. 02:35:00.282 --> 02:35:02.365 [Riv (DM)]: Too easy, a fourth success already. 02:35:03.346 --> 02:35:06.791 [Riv (DM)]: This last one was an 18 you needed to get, so you're crushing it here. 02:35:08.133 --> 02:35:13.641 [Riv (DM)]: The DC's getting incrementally more difficult with each check, but you've just done four in a row. 02:35:14.883 --> 02:35:18.308 [Riv (DM)]: Belinda, you can see at this point, is still working away to doing her things. 02:35:18.288 --> 02:35:26.260 [Riv (DM)]: Dwarven raises a hand and almost catches like a stream of light from the device and is able to like twist it around her hand and then press it down into the rod. 02:35:26.300 --> 02:35:27.662 [Riv (DM)]: The rod starts glowing under her hands. 02:35:27.962 --> 02:35:29.204 [Riv (DM)]: She looks over and seeing what you're doing. 02:35:29.244 --> 02:35:32.589 [Riv (DM)]: She's offering a few comments every now and then and suggestions around what you should be doing. 02:35:33.311 --> 02:35:36.115 [Riv (DM)]: She just nods like, excellent work Dondar, you're a natural at this. 02:35:37.096 --> 02:35:41.663 [Riv (DM)]: A fourth beam of light shoots up into the sky. 02:35:42.672 --> 02:35:50.961 [Riv (DM)]: And at this point Dondar like you can see the sword has now like kind of 02:35:51.886 --> 02:36:21.640 [Riv (DM)]: Pulled in like these beams of like golden light have like reached out like tendrils and grabbed the different ingredients and devices and stuff that Linda's laid out and has almost like evaporating the scale and the elder sap and has pulled the essence into it you can see runes start to carve their way up this along the blade and the sword is done you no longer need to do it because of your nat 20 you've already got your four successes and so you're very very comfortable at this point that the sword has in fact been imbued with what you're hoping to do 02:36:21.620 --> 02:36:28.269 [Riv (DM)]: There is going to be one more burst of energy that Belinda will use for the last one to imbue her own magic item. 02:36:28.650 --> 02:36:40.286 [Riv (DM)]: And I will just say to you, think about during this process what sort of embellishments and what changes you want to make to the sword as you're crafting it. 02:36:40.326 --> 02:36:41.708 [Riv (DM)]: This is a sword that you have created. 02:36:41.728 --> 02:36:46.394 [Riv (DM)]: You are creating a rare magic item in a single night which is a crazy feat. 02:36:47.315 --> 02:36:49.939 [Riv (DM)]: So you certainly get to put your own touches on it. 02:36:51.353 --> 02:36:57.820 [Riv (DM)]: The fifth beam of light goes out into the sky and everyone kind of just back in the crowd now looking up. 02:36:59.420 --> 02:37:11.651 [Riv (DM)]: As it starts to fade away, the beacon at the top starts to dim, and everyone in the crowd just goes wild, cheering and crying, hugging each other, dancing around, laughing, clapping each other on the back. 02:37:12.252 --> 02:37:13.653 [Riv (DM)]: Incredible. 02:37:14.113 --> 02:37:19.078 [Riv (DM)]: The new year has begun, and the people of this town have just had their vigil. 02:37:21.460 --> 02:37:21.901 [Riv (DM)]: Valoran?

What? 03:24:10.343 --> 03:24:12.385 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: With the idea of...
