10:01.827 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 10:01.868 --> 10:04.533 [Riv (DM)]: So, quick recap from last time. 10:06.517 --> 10:08.761 [Riv (DM)]: Basically, we had finished the Val Noren arc. 10:09.983 --> 10:15.955 [Riv (DM)]: The liberation of the city had completed and you had just spent a few days having some downtime. 10:17.318 --> 10:22.202 [Riv (DM)]: Kai went and spent some time with the clerics, helping to train them and trying to teach them in the ways of Saluna. 10:23.383 --> 10:27.067 [Riv (DM)]: Rio, I believe, he went and did a bit of magic to help enrich the surrounding farmlands. 10:28.368 --> 10:28.528 [Riv (DM)]: Mhm. 10:29.129 --> 10:36.936 [Riv (DM)]: Erendor went around and did a bit of investigation to see if he could track down any of the ravens in the city, but found that their nests had been deserted. 10:36.996 --> 10:42.100 [Riv (DM)]: Somehow, potentially, they had been driven out by the Empire or someone else earlier. 10:43.201 --> 10:47.325 [Riv (DM)]: And Berberis went to search around for some of the 10:47.305 --> 10:52.390 [Riv (DM)]: Any information on the Red Priests but didn't come up with too much other than what the prisoners had already said. 10:52.430 --> 11:10.630 [Riv (DM)]: And so while this downtime was happening you were essentially just chilling and waiting until you could depart with more Breakers who were going to be leaving in a few days, five days or so, to go down to Val Miriel and try to help out with Talos and the rebellion that they will be looking to start there. 11:12.095 --> 11:31.752 [Riv (DM)]: On your way out, on the day of leaving, the advisor to the king of Val Noren, Ayana, the mage who had been helping out with a bunch of stuff throughout the time that you'd spent in Val Noren, she stopped you and asked to have a bit of a secluded chat. 11:31.772 --> 11:35.295 [Riv (DM)]: She wanted to get some more information from you around the Red Priests. 11:36.616 --> 11:40.920 [Riv (DM)]: She revealed that she had held back some info when you were talking earlier. 11:40.900 --> 11:53.600 [Riv (DM)]: Um and uh yeah essentially she gave up a bit of info that um she knows more about the red priest than she'd let on and she wants you guys to help her uncover some information. 11:54.361 --> 12:08.764 [Riv (DM)]: Um in response to that um you suggested well we've got the head of one of these red priests why don't we talk to its spirit because maybe you can just tell us some stuff and she was like okay yeah fine that sounds great and she let you into her tower um 12:08.744 --> 12:15.097 [Riv (DM)]: Within her tower you did the ritual and you started speaking to the body and you got a bunch of answers. 12:15.718 --> 12:17.522 [Riv (DM)]: Speaking to the head, I guess. 12:19.245 --> 12:27.883 [Riv (DM)]: So you found out that the Red Priests were working for the Empress of the Empire. 12:29.939 --> 12:36.465 [Riv (DM)]: They weren't exactly specific around that, but just you get the impression that they were working for the Empress. 12:36.686 --> 12:46.215 [Riv (DM)]: You learned that their base of operations was in Valfaria, which is the giant volcano in the center of the Silver Mountains in the middle of the continent. 12:47.957 --> 12:50.099 [Riv (DM)]: They told you that their weakness would be knowledge. 12:51.320 --> 12:57.246 [Riv (DM)]: And you also, I believe Berberis asked, well, who does the Empress serve? 12:58.458 --> 13:02.424 [Riv (DM)]: And she revealed that it was Karazoth, the Crimson Shadow. 13:02.464 --> 13:10.117 [Riv (DM)]: And at this, Ayana changed her impression quite a lot. 13:10.577 --> 13:20.593 [Riv (DM)]: Having revealed a lot of information, she revealed herself as an ancient elf who had been working to disrupt and uncover secrets about the Empire. 13:22.737 --> 13:24.820 [Riv (DM)]: It's at one point in the conversation 13:24.800 --> 13:29.571 [Riv (DM)]: Rio showed her his ring which has a signet on it. 13:30.373 --> 13:42.842 [Riv (DM)]: She promptly freaked the fuck out and used telekinesis and trapped Rio and essentially accused him of something like treason or 13:43.109 --> 13:48.559 [Riv (DM)]: Something along those lines and she teleported the rest of your way so that she could discuss with Ryo specifically. 13:50.282 --> 14:04.088 [Riv (DM)]: Ryo was able to convince her though of his honesty and she said that the signet indicates that Ryo may potentially be one of the last living members of the royal family of her people. 14:06.211 --> 14:17.685 [Riv (DM)]: In order to confirm this, she said, we need to go, and she teleported you all across the continent, across the Erevan Strait to the city, the elven city of Ithilmara. 14:19.707 --> 14:34.024 [Riv (DM)]: When travelling across the city, you discover that there have been wards placed on the city that will inflict this terrible sort of psychic pain in everyone's mind, so as to stop. 14:34.004 --> 14:45.037 [Riv (DM)]: Unwelcome people from coming and settling the city while the elves had left and as evidence of this you saw that there were you know bodies of imperial soldiers who apparently had come to try and investigate or settle but died. 14:45.057 --> 15:02.678 [Riv (DM)]: The elves among you didn't get affected and I think a couple of you shapeshifted into non-human forms and you also were not affected but we hurried on through across the city to a large central building 15:03.012 --> 15:09.048 [Riv (DM)]: Within which there was this big dais that had the same signet of Ryo's ring on it and a little slot in the very centre. 15:09.589 --> 15:15.183 [Riv (DM)]: Upon placing the ring into the slot it spun up sort of like an engine. 15:16.848 --> 15:20.076 [Riv (DM)]: Magical sigils and 15:20.056 --> 15:29.205 [Riv (DM)]: Lights started whirling up all around the walls until eventually a tear opened up in reality itself, revealing a brand new landscape on the other side. 15:29.565 --> 15:49.624 [Riv (DM)]: You walked on through and you left the material plane behind, arriving in a very bright and vibrant forest, giant trees with flora that's sort of candy floss-like, all sorts of strange animals jumping around, and 15:49.604 --> 16:01.103 [Riv (DM)]: Kind of weird, trippy, physics-based confusions like when you might walk up a hill but halfway up you realise you're actually walking down it now somehow. 16:01.924 --> 16:05.149 [Riv (DM)]: And so that's basically where we're going to pick up. 16:06.209 --> 16:16.404 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, looking around I guess, it is a vast contrast to anything you've been used to. 16:16.424 --> 16:18.367 [Riv (DM)]: It's sort of a sensory overload. 16:18.948 --> 16:26.098 [Riv (DM)]: The woods that you're in at the moment, so you are in the woods, it's sort of got this perpetual glow of golden hour. 16:26.719 --> 16:29.263 [Riv (DM)]: The shadows themselves are sort of long and soft. 16:29.243 --> 16:32.307 [Riv (DM)]: And you don't even know what time of day it is. 16:32.647 --> 16:36.071 [Riv (DM)]: It might not even make sense to ask what the time of the day is because maybe it's like this forever. 16:36.111 --> 16:57.276 [Riv (DM)]: The vegetation is just huge so trees kind of are impossibly large and they're not just greens you've got your pinks and oranges some trees appear to be glowing and they undergrowth all sorts of like big mushrooms and strange looking plants that maybe expand and then contract and 16:57.256 --> 16:59.159 [Riv (DM)]: Give pulses of light. 16:59.259 --> 17:03.185 [Riv (DM)]: Some might be puffing clouds of smoke or fumes. 17:05.147 --> 17:13.580 [Riv (DM)]: There's a really strong smell of vanilla and cinnamon that's just sort of emanating everywhere throughout the forest here. 17:14.381 --> 17:17.245 [Riv (DM)]: And the ground is quite soft when you stand on it. 17:17.325 --> 17:20.229 [Riv (DM)]: It's not necessarily just vegetation. 17:20.270 --> 17:21.852 [Riv (DM)]: It's not moss or leaves. 17:21.872 --> 17:26.098 [Riv (DM)]: It feels like you're walking on solid earth, but it's sort of springy. 17:27.597 --> 17:37.792 [Riv (DM)]: Ayana just sort of looks around and kind of looks like she's trying to gauge her surroundings, trying to figure out where she is. 17:38.856 --> 17:40.020 [Riv (DM)]: And you hear her say 17:41.148 --> 17:43.991 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, well, it's a little bit unfortunate. 17:44.031 --> 17:48.196 [Riv (DM)]: We're a bit further away than I was hoping, but that's fine. 17:49.178 --> 17:55.325 [Riv (DM)]: You're brand new to this, I suppose, Ryo, so I think you've done pretty well. 17:55.746 --> 18:03.595 [Riv (DM)]: I would imagine based on where we are, I think we're possibly a day or so away from our destination, from our city. 18:05.077 --> 18:05.578 [Riv (DM)]: Not too bad. 18:05.658 --> 18:08.483 [Riv (DM)]: You could have landed us in a much worse spot, to be honest. 18:08.764 --> 18:13.512 [Riv (DM)]: I believe we are in the Gossamer Woods, which is fairly nice as you can see. 18:15.596 --> 18:17.480 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I guess we'd better get going then. 18:19.784 --> 18:25.414 [Riv (DM)]: We will most likely have to spend a night out here, but we should be fine. 18:26.592 --> 18:27.253 [Riv (DM)]: We better get going. 18:27.653 --> 18:31.918 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure the lot of you have many questions to ask. 18:32.099 --> 18:41.350 [Riv (DM)]: And so now that we are away from danger and potential prying eyes, feel free to ask any questions that you may have as we start traveling. 18:42.892 --> 18:45.695 [Riv (DM)]: But other than that, let us go. 18:45.735 --> 18:51.402 [Riv (DM)]: And she will turn and start to head our way with the rest of you hopefully following. 18:54.436 --> 18:56.580 [Riv (DM)]: Does anyone have any questions for Ayana? 19:01.730 --> 19:07.600 [Vael (Berberis)]: My first thought, obviously, is I'm sure we've all heard of rumors of the Feywild. 19:08.763 --> 19:10.065 [Vael (Berberis)]: Actually, do we know we're in the Feywild? 19:10.619 --> 19:11.700 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nope. 19:11.720 --> 19:11.940 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't. 19:12.841 --> 19:13.182 [Riv (DM)]: Where are we? 19:13.202 --> 19:14.583 [Riv (DM)]: She hasn't explicitly said it. 19:15.244 --> 19:19.648 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, if you ask, she'll just say, ah, my friends, we're in the Feywild. 19:19.708 --> 19:23.432 [Riv (DM)]: This is the sister plane to the one that you've come from. 19:25.354 --> 19:27.456 [Riv (DM)]: Realm of Magic and Curiosities. 19:32.341 --> 19:33.782 [Vael (Berberis)]: Is there anything we need to know? 19:34.062 --> 19:36.745 [Vael (Berberis)]: Certain rules that may be different? 19:39.357 --> 19:43.103 [Riv (DM)]: Well, that depends entirely upon where you are unfortunately. 19:43.143 --> 19:53.480 [Riv (DM)]: In some places you can absolutely never say anything like thank you because it would be seen as a horrific insult. 19:53.941 --> 19:58.969 [Riv (DM)]: And in other places the best thing you could do would be to be as violent and aggressive as possible. 19:58.949 --> 20:09.664 [Riv (DM)]: Fortunately there is no clear dictations of the right way to do anything in here, but if we stick together, stick by me, we should be fine. 20:14.831 --> 20:17.715 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, we're in the Gossamer Woods you say? 20:18.496 --> 20:20.859 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there anything we need to be careful of? 20:20.900 --> 20:26.307 [Riv (DM)]: The Gossamer Woods can be tricksy, but for the most part it's harmless. 20:29.240 --> 20:36.286 [Lacer (Kai)]: Harmless to you, I suppose, since you're this high mage of sorts. 20:36.726 --> 20:39.168 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're a lot different than you. 20:40.670 --> 20:42.191 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there are no dangerous creatures here. 20:42.211 --> 20:52.700 [Riv (DM)]: If we go further and deeper into one of the other forts, then potentially there may be more risk. 20:52.720 --> 20:58.825 [Riv (DM)]: But here, the worst you could find are just some tricksy, pesky little things, but not to worry. 21:00.323 --> 21:15.615 [Riv (DM)]: Oh and like look here and she sort of like leans down and two big mushrooms just like sitting in the ground in front of her and she just like leans over them and says shoo get out of the way and she just like stomps her feet a bit and they just go boom boom. 21:15.832 --> 21:23.524 [Riv (DM)]: And they pop up and you see they've got little bodies that just sort of pop up out of the ground, tiny little legs, and they just like turn and just run off in different directions. 21:23.684 --> 21:26.428 [Riv (DM)]: One of them's got a big red cap, the other one's got a green one. 21:26.809 --> 21:29.793 [Riv (DM)]: See some fumes starting to come off the red cap. 21:32.677 --> 21:35.502 [Riv (DM)]: Can someone roll a perception check for me? 21:35.542 --> 21:36.904 [Riv (DM)]: Perception check or a history check? 21:36.924 --> 21:37.525 [Riv (DM)]: Either of these. 21:38.306 --> 21:44.455 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I was about to say that that's not the first time we've seen mushroom men. 21:46.038 --> 21:51.023 [Lacer (Kai)]: Gonna say, I think I tried to communicate with some way back with the, um... 21:51.043 --> 21:52.164 [Lacer (Kai)]: Perception you said? 21:52.184 --> 21:52.925 [Lacer (Kai)]: Spider lady. 21:53.806 --> 21:56.088 [Unmatched Speaker]: Hmm. 21:56.108 --> 22:06.859 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, they, with the, um, with the 22 history check, Donda, you definitely recall, they look exactly like the ones that you found back in the lair of Nelphandrus the Banished. 22:06.879 --> 22:07.560 [Riv (DM)]: Little fun girls. 22:10.683 --> 22:10.763 Hmm. 22:14.033 --> 22:16.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are they the same size or are they bigger or smaller? 22:16.777 --> 22:18.119 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, they're basically about the same size. 22:24.908 --> 22:31.758 [Riv (DM)]: I think Ayana sort of maybe picks up that you recognise them or something and she just kind of cocks her head a little bit. 22:32.139 --> 22:33.621 [Riv (DM)]: You recognise these, have you seen them before? 22:36.225 --> 22:40.991 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, they fed me some mushroom a few months ago. 22:41.051 --> 22:43.635 [Lacer (Kai)]: We were in a mine. 22:44.898 --> 22:46.379 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 22:46.399 --> 22:47.240 [Riv (DM)]: How interesting. 22:47.260 --> 22:48.301 [Riv (DM)]: They're nice little fellows. 22:49.162 --> 22:54.887 [Riv (DM)]: Can be a little bit of a pain in the butt, but... Back on Olandis, do you mean? 22:58.250 --> 22:59.031 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, come again? 22:59.351 --> 22:59.952 [Lacer (Kai)]: Olandis? 23:00.673 --> 23:02.935 [Lacer (Kai)]: I know we are...

Let's check actually. 41:11.999 --> 41:13.220 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll link that without casting it. 41:14.762 --> 41:23.810 [Vael (Berberis)]: And gain the service. 41:26.433 --> 41:28.114 [Vael (Berberis)]: Statistics. 41:28.134 --> 41:30.256 [Vael (Berberis)]: Acts independently but abhors your commands. 41:31.698 --> 41:33.800 [JC (Ryo)]: Amelia has the statistics of the chosen form. 41:37.383 --> 41:39.205 [JC (Ryo)]: So what's the stats on an owl? 41:39.843 --> 41:43.148 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I guess what I'm thinking is... Yeah. 41:44.670 --> 41:54.145 [Riv (DM)]: What I'm sort of thinking is, like, is it just a magical spirit that is created, or is it, like, actually a creature from the fey realm that you just sort of summon that appears? 41:55.627 --> 42:00.355 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, it's either fey or... Celestial or fey. 42:00.375 --> 42:04.802 [Lacer (Kai)]: It says a spirit that takes the form of an animal, so I'm reading the first line. 42:05.382 --> 42:05.783 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 42:06.556 --> 42:29.003 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, anyway, so let's say he flies up and you can look through his eyes, the owl looks around and you can see the forest looks fairly normal, you know, you look ahead and, you know, and see the path through, and actually as the owl flies up and you look through its eyes, you do see off in the distance towering mountains that scrape the very sky itself. 42:28.983 --> 42:48.527 [Riv (DM)]: Ahead of you you can see there is a massive chasm, a huge gorge that sort of splits its way down the landscape, sort of twisting its way in the direction of the mountains itself, and on either side there are two very distinctly different landscapes. 42:48.507 --> 43:00.323 [Riv (DM)]: The owl sort of looks around, sort of sees that's the direction, the right way that you want to be going towards the mountains and it sort of flies back down again and starts leading you through in that direction towards the forest and maybe every now and then it pops back up to have a look. 43:01.465 --> 43:14.262 [Riv (DM)]: As you follow it, if you do decide to follow after it, let's just say that you guys all follow the owl, fortunately after about five to ten minutes you wind up back at the stump in the clearing. 43:14.242 --> 43:20.411 [Riv (DM)]: You are 100% sure you were walking in a straight line the entire way because the owl was leading you. 43:28.403 --> 43:29.705 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, that didn't work. 43:30.927 --> 43:33.191 [Riv (DM)]: But now you can see two sets of tracks in the ground. 43:35.794 --> 43:39.480 [JC (Ryo)]: Why don't we make camp and you guys can fix her up in the morning? 43:41.603 --> 43:41.924 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure. 43:41.944 --> 43:43.506 [Lacer (Kai)]: Has it been over an hour? 43:44.532 --> 43:46.295 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, I don't think so. 43:53.930 --> 44:03.709 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long did it take us to travel from here towards the mountains that we did see, but end up looping back exactly where we came? 44:03.950 --> 44:05.713 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long were we walking for? 44:06.537 --> 44:15.166 [Riv (DM)]: I think you're probably only going for about 20 to 30 minutes when you first, like from starting your travel to arriving at the stump. 44:16.908 --> 44:23.956 [Riv (DM)]: And yeah, there's another sort of 10, 15, 20 minutes since then. 44:28.461 --> 44:32.245 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, there's something, you get the feeling there's something you need to look for. 44:32.485 --> 44:35.008 [Riv (DM)]: Like there were the tracks that looked odd. 44:38.127 --> 44:38.468 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 44:42.674 --> 44:44.276 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to drop my form. 44:44.296 --> 44:49.103 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to go onto my knees to lower little Alyana to the ground. 44:50.105 --> 44:53.129 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I'm going to drop my form to investigate the stump. 44:58.497 --> 44:59.258 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 44:59.279 --> 45:00.060 [Riv (DM)]: Roll investigation. 45:02.103 --> 45:02.904 [JC (Ryo)]: Alyana, come here. 45:02.924 --> 45:03.645 [JC (Ryo)]: Play with me. 45:05.077 --> 45:08.041 [JC (Ryo)]: And I'm going to pull out a deck of cards and start playing cards with her. 45:08.762 --> 45:10.384 [JC (Ryo)]: Start trying to play a game of cards with her. 45:10.404 --> 45:15.190 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to actually, I'm going to recruit Erendor because I know he finds stuff really, really well. 45:15.591 --> 45:17.734 [Lacer (Kai)]: Come help me check out this stump. 45:17.934 --> 45:23.301 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've come past it so many times and it just like, something weird about it. 45:23.321 --> 45:24.723 [Lacer (Kai)]: It kind of glows a little bit. 45:26.826 --> 45:29.329 [Lacer (Kai)]: So I'm going to help Erendor investigate. 45:32.448 --> 45:38.176 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, roll Investigation with Ithana Cherengor. 45:38.196 --> 45:45.386 [Vael (Berberis)]: I am staring suspiciously at everything around us with this girl on my face. 45:45.526 --> 45:46.187 [Riv (DM)]: Awesome, 21. 45:46.207 --> 45:51.034 [Riv (DM)]: Do you have... is that... ah, Reliable Talent is already being applied. 45:51.074 --> 45:51.694 [Riv (DM)]: Perfecto. 45:51.735 --> 45:51.995 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 45:53.277 --> 45:57.482 [Riv (DM)]: Mister over here can never roll less than a 20 on Investigation. 45:57.803 --> 45:58.364 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Incredible. 45:58.964 --> 45:59.425 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Less than a 21. 45:59.445 --> 46:01.788 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: 21 is the lowest I can roll. 46:01.808 --> 46:02.269 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 46:02.249 --> 46:13.705 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so there's a small little pond and island, like you know, it's not really an island, it's just sort of the stump is sitting on a bit of land, a bit of a hillock out there or something. 46:15.368 --> 46:18.011 [Riv (DM)]: So when you're going over to look at it, what sort of thing do you think you're going to look for? 46:18.031 --> 46:25.762 [Riv (DM)]: Will you cross over the pond to the stump or are you going to check it out from a distance or anything else? 46:25.782 --> 46:28.206 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is the water murky or is it crystal clear? 46:29.528 --> 46:31.210 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it seems like normal water, nice and clear. 46:33.586 --> 46:35.709 [Riv (DM)]: Just so you can see stones and a bit of earth on the bottom. 46:38.032 --> 46:38.953 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is it funky coloured?

49:38.411 --> 49:41.634 [Riv (DM)]: The weird thing here is the ripples flow in the opposite direction. 49:41.774 --> 49:53.364 [Riv (DM)]: So imagine if you drop a stone, instead of the ripples starting at that singular point and sort of expanding outwards, when you step on the water, the ripple appears outwards and starts moving in. 49:55.646 --> 49:57.388 [Riv (DM)]: That's probably the main thing that you notice. 49:59.967 --> 50:01.909 [Riv (DM)]: It's reversed. 50:01.929 --> 50:02.990 [Lacer (Kai)]: I say it's reversed. 50:03.530 --> 50:03.771 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 50:05.052 --> 50:06.093 [Riv (DM)]: It appears to be reversed. 50:06.914 --> 50:14.641 [Riv (DM)]: And other than that you get to the stump and yeah it's glowing, it's got these nice sort of little bits of fairy fire sparkles floating around. 50:14.701 --> 50:19.766 [Riv (DM)]: It's a little bit warm to the touch but you don't really find anything that stands out about it. 50:19.786 --> 50:27.173 [Riv (DM)]: The water though definitely, there's something, it seems to be indicating something interesting there. 50:29.498 --> 50:34.166 [Lacer (Kai)]: Since I'm next to the stump and it's glowing, I'm gonna ritual cast Detect Magic. 50:37.212 --> 50:38.153 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, very well. 50:38.234 --> 50:42.742 [Riv (DM)]: The stump is glowing with very strong potent magic. 50:43.864 --> 50:51.878 [Riv (DM)]: Whether it's sort of innate or some spell has been cast on it, I think you're not sure, but there is very strong transmutation magic on the stump. 50:53.613 --> 50:55.395 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to yell across to Dondar. 50:56.116 --> 50:57.357 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dondar, come check this out. 50:57.717 --> 51:10.911 [Lacer (Kai)]: There's some strong magic on this stump, but I can't say because I'm not very good with magic, but sort of good with magic, if you know what I mean. 51:14.514 --> 51:15.315 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes. 51:18.619 --> 51:19.500 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar starts to wander over. 51:20.541 --> 51:21.882 [Lacer (Kai)]: Run across the water. 51:22.199 --> 51:25.663 [Riv (DM)]: Vale, you're keeping an eye out for anything weird and suspicious. 51:26.183 --> 51:27.945 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a perception check for me. 51:36.093 --> 51:36.714 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, very good. 51:38.135 --> 51:43.461 [Riv (DM)]: You see a little flutter of wings and you look up into a nearby tree. 51:44.201 --> 51:46.704 [Riv (DM)]: There's another small girl just sort of like looking down at you. 51:46.804 --> 51:47.925 [Riv (DM)]: She's quite far away now though. 51:48.085 --> 51:51.649 [Riv (DM)]: Possibly it's the same one or maybe it's a different one but looks a bit spooked. 51:52.253 --> 51:57.500 [Riv (DM)]: She looks spooked. 51:57.520 --> 51:59.603 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, she looks a bit spooked. 51:59.783 --> 52:01.425 [Riv (DM)]: Much further away than the last one. 52:02.447 --> 52:17.968 [Riv (DM)]: On a 16 I think what you notice is, so she's sort of fluttered into the clearing and sort of watching you guys a little bit and while the rest of them are sort of doing their investigation you see she jumps back off the branch and fluttering her wings she just flies backwards back out of the clearing. 52:19.770 --> 52:21.332 [Vael (Berberis)]: I let out a sharp whistle. 52:24.113 --> 52:29.197 [Vael (Berberis)]: One of those creepy little flyers was here and they were quite scared. 52:29.238 --> 52:32.031 [Vael (Berberis)]: If they're scared here, there's something to be scared of. 52:34.070 --> 52:39.156 [Riv (DM)]: I should just want to be quite careful and specific. 52:39.636 --> 52:44.782 [Riv (DM)]: So spooked in the sense that like, you know, weird people, possibly she saw what had happened. 52:45.262 --> 52:49.747 [Riv (DM)]: It's not like terror or fear, more just she looks a lot more nervous than before. 52:50.408 --> 52:52.290 [Riv (DM)]: And when I say flying backwards, I mean actually backwards. 52:52.310 --> 52:56.995 [Riv (DM)]: So like she's facing you and she's just, her back, you know, she's just flying backwards. 52:58.957 --> 53:01.680 [Riv (DM)]: And you see she just disappears off into the trees. 53:02.977 --> 53:04.921 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll just let out the whistle and say, Company. 53:08.207 --> 53:08.728 [Vael (Berberis)]: Might be back. 53:09.910 --> 53:10.872 [Vael (Berberis)]: Whatever you're doing, do it quick. 53:13.357 --> 53:15.080 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep, Dondar, what do you see, Dondar? 53:18.707 --> 53:24.117 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I look, I inspect the, uh, the stuff. 53:24.137 --> 53:25.339 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, uh, roll an Arcana check. 53:33.352 --> 53:34.654 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh, okay. 53:35.335 --> 53:36.656 [Riv (DM)]: So there is something going on. 53:36.676 --> 53:42.765 [Riv (DM)]: The stump is causing some sort of temporal space-time disruption. 53:45.388 --> 53:51.136 [Riv (DM)]: Things that should be going forwards are not, and things that are going backwards are going in a different direction. 53:52.137 --> 53:53.479 [Riv (DM)]: I think that's what you gather from it. 53:53.920 --> 53:59.427 [Riv (DM)]: So anything that's sort of trapped in this area around it appears to be in reverse. 54:03.963 --> 54:04.844 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Interesting. 54:14.652 --> 54:15.953 [Lacer (Kai)]: You're so smart, Dondar. 54:15.973 --> 54:16.734 [Lacer (Kai)]: That makes sense. 54:17.134 --> 54:21.738 [Lacer (Kai)]: As I was walking across the water, my ripples were coming from the out. 54:21.758 --> 54:24.401 [Lacer (Kai)]: The outer ripples were coming towards my foot instead. 54:25.081 --> 54:31.086 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, I guess the way we came in, we might have to do it backwards? 54:32.508 --> 54:33.008 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe? 54:34.388 --> 54:37.211 [JC (Ryo)]: So instead of walking towards the mountains, we should walk away from the mountains? 54:37.931 --> 54:38.732 [JC (Ryo)]: No, we walk backwards. 54:39.453 --> 54:40.674 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Walk backwards towards the mountains? 54:40.914 --> 54:42.095 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Walk backwards the way we came? 54:43.517 --> 54:45.579 [Lacer (Kai)]: We can try. 54:45.619 --> 54:49.602 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Do we need to go backwards the way we came first to get rid of the second set of tracks? 54:51.704 --> 54:58.391 [Vael (Berberis)]: I think we should do it backwards until we give it a shot. 55:00.493 --> 55:01.774 [JC (Ryo)]: Walk backwards towards the mountains? 55:04.076 --> 55:04.176 Yeah. 55:05.759 --> 55:09.884 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Undar leans down to the stump and whispers the word, tenant. 55:14.230 --> 55:15.932 [Riv (DM)]: You hear like a whispering voice come back. 55:16.493 --> 55:20.799 [Riv (DM)]: Olin was a genius. 55:20.819 --> 55:21.319 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: No, not again. 55:21.339 --> 55:24.784 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I have no idea what this means. 55:26.887 --> 55:27.327 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, great. 55:27.367 --> 55:29.370 [Riv (DM)]: So are we gonna try it that way? 55:29.840 --> 55:31.041 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to convince Ayana. 55:31.262 --> 55:32.883 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hey Ayana, let's play a game. 55:33.184 --> 55:35.647 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's see if we can walk backwards towards that mountain. 55:35.687 --> 55:38.570 [Lacer (Kai)]: And the longer we can do it, the better. 55:38.810 --> 55:40.853 [Lacer (Kai)]: We might get a prize. 55:41.774 --> 55:43.015 [Riv (DM)]: She's like, I bet I can beat you. 55:43.055 --> 55:49.342 [Riv (DM)]: And she just starts going backwards, sort of, almost like she's standing on a tightrope or something, like she's got her arms out balancing. 55:50.944 --> 55:51.885 [Riv (DM)]: Sort of hopping away backwards. 55:52.806 --> 55:53.687 [Riv (DM)]: Rest of you all follow? 55:54.368 --> 55:54.829 [Lacer (Kai)]: She's hopping. 55:54.849 --> 55:56.050 [Riv (DM)]: God damn, she's quick. 55:57.245 --> 55:57.647 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 55:58.049 --> 55:58.893 [Riv (DM)]: Time to start picking up. 55:59.637 --> 56:03.758 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'll land on my shoulder looking backwards and I'm going to look through my owl eyes as I walk. 56:04.079 --> 56:05.044 [Riv (DM)]: Very good. 56:05.142 --> 56:24.301 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah so you back up following sort of the tracks I think that you would have already taken but now as you're sort of backing up you notice I think now with this different perspective the tracks are weird because you would normally expect to see the weight placed at the front of the footstep and then the heel would come down secondary. 56:25.041 --> 56:31.808 [Riv (DM)]: The tracks are in the opposite it looks like the heel was where the weight was placed and the front is the secondary part of the step. 56:31.788 --> 56:50.691 [Riv (DM)]: Um so you follow the steps backwards and after five or ten minutes you feel like not like a physical sort of barrier or something almost like just a slight change in temperature or um the sound alters ever so slightly um like a weight just gets lifted off um 56:50.671 --> 56:54.716 [Riv (DM)]: Take a deep breath and look around you and you find yourselves... 56:55.517 --> 56:56.498 [Riv (DM)]: This looks new now. 56:57.039 --> 56:57.679 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, this looks new. 56:57.759 --> 56:58.580 [Riv (DM)]: These are new trees. 56:58.600 --> 56:59.181 [Riv (DM)]: This is... 56:59.201 --> 57:00.303 [Riv (DM)]: I think you're definitely okay. 57:00.323 --> 57:01.904 [Riv (DM)]: I think you're heading in the right direction again. 57:04.207 --> 57:08.312 [Riv (DM)]: Look around, you now see the mountains through the trees, but closer than before. 57:10.735 --> 57:15.801 [Riv (DM)]: I think you feel like you were able to get away from the Mobius Thicket. 57:18.110 --> 57:19.274 [Lacer (Kai)]: That was so strange. 57:20.077 --> 57:27.563 [Lacer (Kai)]: I go, good job, and I pat her on the head and I click my finger and I summon my familiar, which is a bat this time. 57:30.260 --> 57:31.762 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I let it rest on her head. 57:33.364 --> 57:59.136 [Riv (DM)]: She initially seems a bit freaked out by it but she reaches up and just like pats it and you know nothing weird or freaky happens so she just starts doing cartwheels and the bat like whenever she flips over the bat like clings onto her here and so like falls off a little bit and then she goes upright again and lands again and she finds this particularly hilarious and just starts giggling and she's sort of cartwheeling away along in the direction that you're going. 57:59.116 --> 58:03.781 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just yelled, be gentle, her name is Peppa, you can play with her for today. 58:06.585 --> 58:09.448 [Riv (DM)]: She's a fine little girl man, she's racing off. 58:11.751 --> 58:12.431 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 58:13.012 --> 58:22.643 [Riv (DM)]: After a little bit of time goes by, a little bit more travel, maybe an hour or two, you find yourselves, you come to this massive chasm that Berberis had seen before. 58:23.095 --> 58:33.167 [Riv (DM)]: There's a deep gorge hundreds of feet wide looking down the length of it so it's like carving away from you like directly in the direction of the mountains. 58:35.210 --> 58:42.779 [Riv (DM)]: On either side of the of the chasm there are two very distinct looking landscapes. 58:43.800 --> 58:51.229 [Riv (DM)]: On one side you can see big sort of dark looking trees, quite a lot of like 58:51.209 --> 59:15.664 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like colour has sort of been leached from them so they're like a very dark greyish sort of green colour and there's sort of like vines and brambles hanging down from the ones that you can see sort of nearby and off in the other direction so so that's often to your left over to your right in the other direction sort of skirting the other side of the chasm you can see like massively oversized 59:16.555 --> 59:18.518 [Riv (DM)]: Like flowers essentially. 59:18.618 --> 59:21.323 [Riv (DM)]: So instead of trees, they're just big flowers. 59:21.824 --> 59:22.364 [Riv (DM)]: They're huge. 59:22.545 --> 59:24.147 [Riv (DM)]: Like the size of houses. 59:25.089 --> 59:28.294 [Riv (DM)]: There's a really strange sort of like shimmer. 59:28.354 --> 59:30.798 [Riv (DM)]: Like it's almost like it looks scorching hot over there. 59:30.878 --> 59:36.487 [Riv (DM)]: Like the air itself has a sort of wavy sort of mirage look to it. 59:37.890 --> 59:39.272 [Riv (DM)]: And... 59:39.252 --> 59:40.315 [Riv (DM)]: You have a decision to make. 59:40.416 --> 59:53.194 [Riv (DM)]: Would you like to go left through the dark grey scaled forest or would you like to go right through the very odd mirage-y looking flowers? 59:57.967 --> 01:00:08.845 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look to Berberis and I say, you're more one with nature than I am, but my druid powers are feeling all weird and tingly in this place. 01:00:09.687 --> 01:00:11.750 [Lacer (Kai)]: Both options look bad. 01:00:11.790 --> 01:00:12.972 [Lacer (Kai)]: What do you think? 01:00:13.774 --> 01:00:17.460 [Vael (Berberis)]: I think there's nothing fucking natural about all these bollocks. 01:00:22.047 --> 01:00:25.532 [Vael (Berberis)]: Personally, I point to the Greywoods. 01:00:25.913 --> 01:00:28.256 [Vael (Berberis)]: At least that one is semi-honest about its bullshit. 01:00:33.504 --> 01:00:34.586 [Lacer (Kai)]: What does everyone else think? 01:00:38.612 --> 01:00:41.416 [Lacer (Kai)]: Rio, you've been in the Darkwoods. 01:00:41.577 --> 01:00:43.099 [Lacer (Kai)]: Come across anything like this before? 01:00:43.700 --> 01:00:45.302 [Lacer (Kai)]: This is nothing like the Darkwood. 01:00:46.123 --> 01:00:48.167 [JC (Ryo)]: In the Darkwood, everything just wants to fucking kill you. 01:00:48.187 --> 01:00:49.168 [JC (Ryo)]: It's simple. 01:00:50.026 --> 01:00:52.129 [JC (Ryo)]: I feel like we're in the same scenario. 01:00:55.733 --> 01:00:58.177 [JC (Ryo)]: But everything's obvious that it wants to kill you there. 01:00:59.799 --> 01:01:03.724 [JC (Ryo)]: I would not have picked that pixie to stuff around with us, that is what it did. 01:01:05.586 --> 01:01:07.909 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, now we're babysitting a little bit. 01:01:09.892 --> 01:01:11.414 [Vael (Berberis)]: Come on Prince Pointy, pick away. 01:01:11.454 --> 01:01:17.822 [JC (Ryo)]: Give him a dirty look. 01:01:22.190 --> 01:01:23.031 [JC (Ryo)]: What was the options again?

01:12:53.456 --> 01:12:56.120 [Riv (DM)]: And you see she gets her hands ready as well to start casting as well. 01:12:56.961 --> 01:12:59.164 [JC (Ryo)]: No no no sweetie he's trying to help you. 01:13:02.232 --> 01:13:04.014 [Lacer (Kai)]: I go, just one second. 01:13:04.295 --> 01:13:06.277 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I quickly mutter the incantation. 01:13:07.178 --> 01:13:07.338 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 01:13:08.940 --> 01:13:09.921 [Riv (DM)]: You have to spell magic. 01:13:10.362 --> 01:13:11.163 [Riv (DM)]: You have to spell magic. 01:13:11.183 --> 01:13:15.068 [Riv (DM)]: You feel it like cling into her body, roll all the way over her. 01:13:15.869 --> 01:13:20.194 [Riv (DM)]: Her eyes sort of locks with yours. 01:13:20.254 --> 01:13:23.298 [Riv (DM)]: And she just like giggles a little bit. 01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:25.961 [Riv (DM)]: And she's like, that felt funny. 01:13:26.001 --> 01:13:26.862 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, my turn. 01:13:26.902 --> 01:13:31.648 [Riv (DM)]: And she claps her hands together going, another thunder wave and you take another. 01:13:34.548 --> 01:13:37.971 [Riv (DM)]: Two damage and you go flying back 10 feet again and she just laughs. 01:13:40.193 --> 01:13:44.818 [Riv (DM)]: Stands up, does a little handstand and she's like, let's go, let's go. 01:13:44.918 --> 01:13:46.139 [Riv (DM)]: I want to see the red caps. 01:13:49.482 --> 01:13:51.304 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe we can get lucky and see some boggles. 01:13:53.506 --> 01:13:55.227 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have no idea what she's talking about. 01:13:55.267 --> 01:14:00.612 [Vael (Berberis)]: In character, I don't know if I do. 01:14:00.832 --> 01:14:02.614 [Vael (Berberis)]: Out of character, I definitely do. 01:14:06.425 --> 01:14:10.370 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty, we start to head towards the woods. 01:14:12.172 --> 01:14:22.946 [Riv (DM)]: You get to the edge of it and you see the trees are a bit gnarled, a bit more brambly than the ones that you've come from. 01:14:24.087 --> 01:14:33.379 [Riv (DM)]: Let me switch on the ambience. 01:14:34.961 --> 01:14:35.942 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see, we'll burb. 01:14:38.285 --> 01:14:39.086 [Riv (DM)]: You get to the edge of it. 01:14:41.250 --> 01:14:43.433 [Riv (DM)]: It's a little bit uninviting to be honest. 01:14:43.994 --> 01:14:50.363 [Riv (DM)]: You know, you start getting in, the ground stops being so soft and welcoming to stand on. 01:14:50.383 --> 01:14:54.570 [Riv (DM)]: It's a bit tougher and there are roots everywhere so it's a little bit difficult to walk. 01:14:55.271 --> 01:15:03.263 [Riv (DM)]: As you sort of like, you know, move around behind a tree, your shoulder scratches up against a bit of bramble that's there and as it scratches you kind of like... 01:15:03.243 --> 01:15:08.910 [Riv (DM)]: Ithilmara, Celembrindal, Calathilion, Lorinath, Mithrondal. 01:15:08.930 --> 01:15:09.190 [Riv (DM)]: Terms. 01:15:09.711 --> 01:15:16.939 [Riv (DM)]: Ithilmara, Celembrindal, Calathilion, Lorinath, Mithrondal. 01:15:16.959 --> 01:15:17.620 [Riv (DM)]: Terms. 01:15:18.140 --> 01:15:32.237 [Riv (DM)]: Ithilmara, Celembrindal, Calathilion, Lorinath, Mithrondal. 01:15:32.217 --> 01:15:35.781 [Riv (DM)]: The arena and it immediately just goes grayscale, sort of like that. 01:15:36.201 --> 01:15:42.007 [Riv (DM)]: So if you were wearing a green cloak before, when you get a little bit deeper into the forest immediately goes this dark shade of grey. 01:15:42.908 --> 01:15:43.809 [Riv (DM)]: Monochromatic. 01:15:45.071 --> 01:15:48.614 [Riv (DM)]: And it gets difficult to walk because of the darkness. 01:15:49.275 --> 01:15:51.157 [Riv (DM)]: You find yourself starting to trip on routes. 01:15:52.238 --> 01:15:54.641 [Riv (DM)]: The brain balls start to scratch you up a little bit. 01:15:54.781 --> 01:15:56.723 [Riv (DM)]: It's going to be tough walking. 01:15:56.703 --> 01:16:02.370 [Riv (DM)]: The other strange thing you notice is that some of you have night vision. 01:16:03.291 --> 01:16:05.174 [Riv (DM)]: Night vision doesn't seem to be helping. 01:16:06.315 --> 01:16:24.718 [Riv (DM)]: If anything, the night vision is actually making things a little bit more difficult because it's sort of screwing with the vision, like the colour fades away, everything goes grey and white, but with your night vision sort of like making things maybe brighter, it just kind of becomes a mess, so those with night vision are also having a pretty tough time here. 01:16:25.829 --> 01:16:27.712 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you mean just darkvision or nightvision? 01:16:27.932 --> 01:16:31.297 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, darkvision. 01:16:34.903 --> 01:16:45.559 [Riv (DM)]: There's the tiniest bit of shadow kind of appearing, but for the most part it's very dark, grey, monochromatic. 01:16:45.539 --> 01:16:53.869 [Riv (DM)]: Just a constant cold creeping dread starts to grow over you as you go deeper in. 01:16:55.171 --> 01:16:58.134 [Riv (DM)]: You hear the sound of like crunching under your feet. 01:16:58.695 --> 01:17:10.449 [Riv (DM)]: You look down as if you were walking on ice or snow but roots or maybe the needles that have fallen from trees are sort of crunching like ice. 01:17:12.511 --> 01:17:13.032 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna 01:17:13.957 --> 01:17:18.304 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to cast the Lightcantrip on my shield. 01:17:20.407 --> 01:17:21.249 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's what I'm going to do. 01:17:22.811 --> 01:17:24.674 [Riv (DM)]: What do we think the marching order here is? 01:17:25.255 --> 01:17:27.759 [Riv (DM)]: Whereabouts are you, do you think, Kai? 01:17:28.240 --> 01:17:29.622 [Riv (DM)]: With respect to the rest of the party? 01:17:30.544 --> 01:17:31.706 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm right. 01:17:32.367 --> 01:17:39.458 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm as close to Ediana to keep an eye on her, so I guess I'd be near the middle-ish, I suppose. 01:17:39.843 --> 01:17:41.186 [Lacer (Kai)]: Trying to protect Ayano. 01:17:42.249 --> 01:17:43.913 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so there's maybe a couple of people ahead of you. 01:17:44.996 --> 01:17:45.979 [Riv (DM)]: I hope so. 01:17:45.999 --> 01:17:48.565 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can't really see very well. 01:17:48.786 --> 01:17:50.650 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's dark, it's blurry. 01:17:50.971 --> 01:17:52.575 [Riv (DM)]: You can kind of like maybe reach out and touch them. 01:17:52.635 --> 01:17:54.640 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, okay cool. 01:17:54.660 --> 01:17:56.485 [Riv (DM)]: So you're roughly in the center. 01:17:58.068 --> 01:18:00.652 [Riv (DM)]: You cast the light cantrip on your shield. 01:18:01.834 --> 01:18:06.362 [Riv (DM)]: Immediately, the shield starts glowing. 01:18:07.143 --> 01:18:16.138 [Riv (DM)]: The area around you lights up and you see it's still grayscale, but you can make out the darkness, like the dark colors of the bramble vines. 01:18:16.839 --> 01:18:19.063 [Riv (DM)]: The light illuminates a sort of 01:18:19.043 --> 01:18:22.930 [Riv (DM)]: Purpleish hue that seems to be emanating through the woods as well. 01:18:23.290 --> 01:18:34.470 [Riv (DM)]: And the other thing you notice is that as soon as you cast the light, vast shadows just form in front of you that are sort of created by your companions. 01:18:34.550 --> 01:18:42.283 [Riv (DM)]: So whether it's Berberis or Erendor in front of you, they cast shadows obviously as the light is created. 01:18:43.006 --> 01:18:50.333 [Riv (DM)]: Kind of weird, it's weird to see such a distinct shadow like this in such a weird greyscale place. 01:18:52.422 --> 01:19:18.210 [Riv (DM)]: Not long after the light is cast the shadows themselves as Berberis you look down your shadow seems to detach itself from your feet like hops away from you and starts to grow up into a actual moving physicalized shadow itself um there are two shadows that have just formed in front of you and they will kind of like start to skirt the edges of the light and hop over to the side and 01:19:18.190 --> 01:19:20.493 [Riv (DM)]: Swing out and take a slash at you. 01:19:20.713 --> 01:19:24.718 [Riv (DM)]: So I will say one slash on Erendor and one slash on Berberis. 01:19:27.101 --> 01:19:32.308 [Riv (DM)]: I think probably the... What's your AC Berberis? 01:19:32.328 --> 01:19:34.010 [Riv (DM)]: 19. 01:19:34.030 --> 01:19:38.575 [Riv (DM)]: I think that the 16 plus 3 would probably have hit. 01:19:38.595 --> 01:19:40.658 [Riv (DM)]: So one slash at you. 01:19:41.479 --> 01:19:43.962 [Riv (DM)]: You take 1d4 necrotic damage. 01:19:45.983 --> 01:19:52.674 [Riv (DM)]: And you, as the sort of like shadowy blade just carves through you, you feel like a bit of your strength start to get sapped out. 01:19:53.555 --> 01:19:55.859 [Riv (DM)]: You lose one point of strength. 01:19:58.503 --> 01:20:01.808 [Riv (DM)]: So if you just note down the, I guess the temporary change there. 01:20:06.215 --> 01:20:07.257 [Riv (DM)]: There he is. 01:20:07.277 --> 01:20:07.918 [Riv (DM)]: Music playing. 01:20:09.340 --> 01:20:10.101 [Lacer (Kai)]: Great to do that. 01:20:16.460 --> 01:20:24.249 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll just remember them at 7 strength. 01:20:24.269 --> 01:20:24.369 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 01:20:24.389 --> 01:20:25.230 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:20:25.490 --> 01:20:26.091 [Riv (DM)]: Kai, what do you do? 01:20:26.331 --> 01:20:30.696 [Riv (DM)]: You've just cast a light and created these shadows which are now sort of starting to circle the party. 01:20:32.518 --> 01:20:33.239 [Lacer (Kai)]: Shit. 01:20:34.300 --> 01:20:39.666 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna... take the shadow, strike out at... 01:20:39.747 --> 01:20:42.531 [Lacer (Kai)]: Berberis, and I'm going to try and starry-wisp it. 01:20:42.631 --> 01:20:46.737 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm going to shoot a mote of light, starry-wisp and see if it hits. 01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:49.861 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, what does this do? 01:20:50.002 --> 01:20:51.824 [Riv (DM)]: It shoots a mote of light at a creature. 01:20:51.844 --> 01:21:05.183 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, think of it sort of like Guiding Bolt, but weak Guiding Bolt, and it emits light where it hits, so in a 10-foot radius, and it can't be invisible. 01:21:05.764 --> 01:21:06.104 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 01:21:07.887 --> 01:21:08.708 [Riv (DM)]: Roll your attack roll. 01:21:10.223 --> 01:21:11.986 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think I did an 11. 01:21:12.347 --> 01:21:13.129 [Riv (DM)]: Oh sorry yeah you did. 01:21:13.890 --> 01:21:30.122 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah I mean it just kind of goes past the both of the shadows and it hits the ground where it starts emitting light so it misses the shadows and does nothing to them but you do notice as soon as the the light sort of forms in that area both the shadows just immediately disappear. 01:21:30.102 --> 01:21:50.777 [Riv (DM)]: But unfortunately now there is light from this direction which is shining I guess and causing all of you to create shadows behind you which in turn all detach and now six shadows detach themselves from you as this new light source in front of you is causing all to cast shadows and so I think 01:21:50.993 --> 01:21:56.198 [Riv (DM)]: We will get six slashes as these shadows appear behind and start to take swings at you. 01:21:57.079 --> 01:21:59.221 [Riv (DM)]: I'll just do them in alphabetical order. 01:22:00.162 --> 01:22:04.107 [Riv (DM)]: So...

01:27:22.775 --> 01:27:23.436 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We can't see. 01:27:24.698 --> 01:27:26.100 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He's at melee range. 01:27:26.924 --> 01:27:28.808 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, you can kind of see them. 01:27:29.910 --> 01:27:34.338 [Riv (DM)]: Remember, it's weird greyscale, so it's not necessarily that you just can't see it all. 01:27:34.719 --> 01:27:38.145 [Riv (DM)]: And the shadows themselves are standing out very vividly in the greyscale. 01:27:39.248 --> 01:27:40.330 [JC (Ryo)]: Isn't that what darkvision is? 01:27:40.370 --> 01:27:41.472 [JC (Ryo)]: Darkvision is greyscale? 01:27:42.494 --> 01:27:44.357 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, but we're in dark, dark. 01:27:44.377 --> 01:27:45.760 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's dark, dark. 01:27:46.313 --> 01:27:47.394 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's not really dark. 01:27:47.474 --> 01:27:49.115 [Riv (DM)]: It's chromatically weird. 01:27:49.416 --> 01:27:51.297 [Riv (DM)]: It's, yeah, it's odd. 01:27:51.317 --> 01:27:56.142 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna kneel down to Ayana and go, you know that game we played this morning, Ayana? 01:27:56.582 --> 01:27:59.184 [Lacer (Kai)]: If those black things come close, do the same thing. 01:28:00.586 --> 01:28:01.366 [Lacer (Kai)]: If they get close. 01:28:03.949 --> 01:28:05.690 [Unmatched Speaker]: Alright, they look friendly though. 01:28:07.131 --> 01:28:15.679 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I command my familiar to walk to the closest shadow and meow loudly at it? 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:20.704 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so I think the shadows just got slashed up by Rio. 01:28:21.524 --> 01:28:23.686 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh, they all gone? 01:28:24.507 --> 01:28:30.011 [Riv (DM)]: We could say that before Rio was able to kill the last one, there was one more that was heading your direction. 01:28:31.593 --> 01:28:35.056 [Lacer (Kai)]: I can make some more if you want some more. 01:28:35.516 --> 01:28:38.679 [Riv (DM)]: So your cat wanders over to that last one that's heading your direction and meows at it. 01:28:40.701 --> 01:28:45.885 [Riv (DM)]: The shadow just kind of ignores the cat, to be honest, and just passes straight through it, heading in your direction. 01:28:47.182 --> 01:28:47.943 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's amazing. 01:28:52.008 --> 01:28:53.870 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Only affected by damaging magic. 01:28:57.054 --> 01:28:58.296 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like it's about to swing. 01:28:58.516 --> 01:29:01.480 [Riv (DM)]: Would you take it, Rio, as you see it going to go after Donda? 01:29:06.286 --> 01:29:08.128 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I mean, yeah. 01:29:09.830 --> 01:29:10.131 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Fair enough. 01:29:10.952 --> 01:29:11.873 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's fatal Fireball. 01:29:13.540 --> 01:29:16.644 [Riv (DM)]: The last swing from Rio goes through and slashes and the shade dissipates. 01:29:18.046 --> 01:29:22.373 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, you see yourselves, you look around at the rest of the party, breathing heavily. 01:29:25.537 --> 01:29:26.098 [Riv (DM)]: What's the plan? 01:29:26.398 --> 01:29:26.859 [Vael (Berberis)]: No lights. 01:29:28.341 --> 01:29:29.282 [Lacer (Kai)]: No lights, agreed. 01:29:32.127 --> 01:29:32.347 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright. 01:29:32.387 --> 01:29:34.570 [Vael (Berberis)]: So, try and pick up the pace I guess. 01:29:35.562 --> 01:29:36.243 [Riv (DM)]: We carry on. 01:29:36.643 --> 01:29:46.595 [Riv (DM)]: The pace is difficult though unfortunately because the terrain is tough, the brambles, the crunching under the feet and making the footing unsteady. 01:29:46.615 --> 01:29:48.598 [Riv (DM)]: It's going to be tough going. 01:29:48.738 --> 01:29:52.542 [Riv (DM)]: I'm going to need a survival check after the first hour of travel. 01:29:53.103 --> 01:29:53.784 [Riv (DM)]: Who would like to make it? 01:29:59.451 --> 01:30:00.111 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just a normal one? 01:30:01.874 --> 01:30:03.055 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or you can get assistance? 01:30:04.267 --> 01:30:07.294 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, I think you get assistance if one of your allies is helping. 01:30:13.891 --> 01:30:14.392 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 01:30:15.074 --> 01:30:15.495 [Riv (DM)]: Very good. 01:30:16.116 --> 01:30:17.600 [Riv (DM)]: We managed to make some decent pace. 01:30:20.507 --> 01:30:20.908 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 01:30:21.985 --> 01:30:35.318 [Riv (DM)]: So you see, you do see the odd inhabitant as you're going, but with such a high survival check, I think you managed to either sort of hunker down and avoid them or stare off and head in a different direction. 01:30:36.079 --> 01:30:43.946 [Riv (DM)]: You see a couple of like, a group of small little creatures, like giant heads, like hands, like little fists sort of dragging along the ground behind them. 01:30:44.246 --> 01:30:45.427 [Riv (DM)]: A couple of them are holding spears. 01:30:45.948 --> 01:30:51.233 [Riv (DM)]: A little group of them that are just sort of like, you know, working on something, digging or 01:30:51.213 --> 01:30:56.279 [Riv (DM)]: Doing something but with a 26 survival you're able to sort of skirt around them and avoid them. 01:30:59.422 --> 01:31:14.719 [Riv (DM)]: You start to hear weird like whispers in your mind that maybe it's one of your friends saying something to you but you know you look over your shoulder and are just sort of concentrating on what they're doing and it's like kind of being them just in your mind. 01:31:14.739 --> 01:31:18.283 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's Kai casting message. 01:31:20.305 --> 01:31:22.288 [Riv (DM)]: But we made decent paces actually, so that is good. 01:31:23.010 --> 01:31:27.377 [Riv (DM)]: For the next leg, the second leg, can I get another survival check? 01:31:33.207 --> 01:31:33.507 [Vael (Berberis)]: Are you good? 01:31:35.351 --> 01:31:36.272 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, whoever you like. 01:31:36.773 --> 01:31:40.700 [Lacer (Kai)]: If you want, I can give you a hand if you want, since we're all a team. 01:31:40.740 --> 01:31:45.688 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:31:49.567 --> 01:31:51.851 [Riv (DM)]: This time the going is still okay. 01:31:53.553 --> 01:32:07.455 [Riv (DM)]: Possibly not quite as well navigated as the first stretch of the journey but this time the woods start to part a little bit and you find yourself coming to what appears to be sort of like a clearing. 01:32:08.516 --> 01:32:12.823 [Riv (DM)]: Still weird chromatic greyscale. 01:32:12.803 --> 01:32:16.548 [Riv (DM)]: Kind of hard to see through the trees over here, like you can barely make out the sky at all. 01:32:16.709 --> 01:32:18.531 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, you can't make out the sky, to be honest. 01:32:19.232 --> 01:32:21.335 [Riv (DM)]: The branches in the trees are sort of obscuring it. 01:32:22.317 --> 01:32:26.462 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Let me guess, there's a pond and a stump on a little island. 01:32:26.482 --> 01:32:28.385 [Riv (DM)]: Oh no! 01:32:28.786 --> 01:32:30.548 [Riv (DM)]: There is a stump in this clearing. 01:32:30.929 --> 01:32:33.452 [Riv (DM)]: However, it is not glowing, there is no pond. 01:32:34.714 --> 01:32:40.903 [Riv (DM)]: Instead, sitting on, which is, and it looks like a petrified stump, 01:32:40.883 --> 01:32:48.396 [Riv (DM)]: Blocking the path in front of you across this clearing is a weird little creature. 01:32:49.979 --> 01:32:54.126 [Riv (DM)]: It almost has goblin-like features, like a long pointed chin, big ears. 01:32:54.647 --> 01:32:57.271 [Riv (DM)]: It's got a top hat on, grey and tattered. 01:32:58.053 --> 01:33:05.085 [Riv (DM)]: And as you sort of step into the clearing, he looks up and his arms sort of open and welcome and he just says, 01:33:06.112 --> 01:33:06.913 [Riv (DM)]: Welcome! 01:33:07.815 --> 01:33:09.377 [Riv (DM)]: Welcome adventurers. 01:33:09.538 --> 01:33:13.684 [Riv (DM)]: Well, it has been some time since I've seen anyone in these parts of the woods. 01:33:14.746 --> 01:33:16.369 [Riv (DM)]: My name is Grinn. 01:33:16.609 --> 01:33:22.219 [Riv (DM)]: And he takes his top hat, sort of like bows his head a little bit, puts it back on. 01:33:24.522 --> 01:33:27.046 [Riv (DM)]: You managed to get this far without being eaten by the shadows. 01:33:27.848 --> 01:33:28.609 [Riv (DM)]: Very clever. 01:33:29.483 --> 01:33:35.535 [Riv (DM)]: We'll see how clever you are very soon, I think. 01:33:35.555 --> 01:33:36.157 [Riv (DM)]: Where are you heading? 01:33:41.868 --> 01:33:42.189 [Vael (Berberis)]: Onwards. 01:33:42.990 --> 01:33:45.315 [Vael (Berberis)]: You know, just sort of gesture in the general direction we're heading. 01:33:47.607 --> 01:33:48.048 [Vael (Berberis)]: Fair enough. 01:33:49.149 --> 01:33:50.731 [Riv (DM)]: And you mean to pass through my glade? 01:33:51.753 --> 01:33:59.924 [Riv (DM)]: He sort of gestures around expansively at his beautiful glade, which is very drab and horrific looking. 01:34:03.268 --> 01:34:05.091 [Vael (Berberis)]: Oh, we can pass around if it's an issue. 01:34:08.556 --> 01:34:08.636 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm. 01:34:08.656 --> 01:34:10.478 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I'm afraid not. 01:34:10.558 --> 01:34:11.760 [Riv (DM)]: There is no leaving now. 01:34:13.022 --> 01:34:16.146 [Riv (DM)]: You must pay the toll. 01:34:17.459 --> 01:34:18.480 [JC (Ryo)]: And what might that be? 01:34:19.621 --> 01:34:19.721 [Riv (DM)]: Ah. 01:34:21.162 --> 01:34:21.543 [Riv (DM)]: Fireball, Fireball. 01:34:21.563 --> 01:34:23.304 [Riv (DM)]: The toll of colour. 01:34:24.566 --> 01:34:26.207 [Riv (DM)]: The payment is colour. 01:34:26.988 --> 01:34:30.031 [Riv (DM)]: If you have something colourful to give me, you may go on your way. 01:34:35.036 --> 01:34:36.056 [JC (Ryo)]: You want something colourful? 01:34:38.178 --> 01:34:40.441 [Riv (DM)]: Colour is a rare commodity around these parts. 01:34:44.504 --> 01:34:47.247 [JC (Ryo)]: Pull out the red cloak, the Hand of the Empire cloak. 01:34:48.037 --> 01:34:51.202 [JC (Ryo)]: Just hold it up. 01:34:51.223 --> 01:34:51.964 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't hand it to him. 01:34:52.004 --> 01:34:54.608 [JC (Ryo)]: I just hold it up and just see his reaction. 01:34:54.889 --> 01:34:56.171 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:34:56.251 --> 01:35:00.899 [Riv (DM)]: He sort of grabs his belly as he just starts chuckling. 01:35:03.263 --> 01:35:04.445 [Riv (DM)]: Color, I said. 01:35:04.485 --> 01:35:08.893 [Riv (DM)]: And you kind of look at the red cloak. 01:35:08.913 --> 01:35:10.035 [Riv (DM)]: It's not red, right? 01:35:10.055 --> 01:35:11.217 [Riv (DM)]: And here everything is chromatic. 01:35:11.237 --> 01:35:13.521 [Riv (DM)]: It is just gray drab cloak. 01:35:15.526 --> 01:35:19.351 [Riv (DM)]: No, there is no colour in here like that. 01:35:20.392 --> 01:35:25.979 [Riv (DM)]: Instead, I look for true colour, a colourful memory. 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:29.663 [Riv (DM)]: Which of you have a colourful memory that I can have? 01:35:41.698 --> 01:35:42.259 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right now, 01:35:43.859 --> 01:35:45.381 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's monochromatic, right? 01:35:45.541 --> 01:35:50.208 [Lacer (Kai)]: Similar, but is it brighter or is it darker than what we came through in the forest? 01:35:50.929 --> 01:35:57.658 [Riv (DM)]: I think it's probably about the same, maybe slightly lighter, but just because it's bigger clearing now, less trees. 01:36:00.002 --> 01:36:11.297 [Lacer (Kai)]: And then my other question was when we were in the darkness fighting the shadows, when I cast light, did it light stuff up and color was visible or was it still just brighter monochromatic? 01:36:12.059 --> 01:36:13.140 [Riv (DM)]: You did see the color, yeah. 01:36:14.639 --> 01:36:19.289 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right now, since I don't see any enemies, I'm just going to cast Light again and see what happens. 01:36:21.514 --> 01:36:21.755 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:36:22.016 --> 01:36:24.421 [Riv (DM)]: So Light, you have to cast it on an object, right? 01:36:25.564 --> 01:36:26.586 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, pick up a rock. 01:36:29.352 --> 01:36:29.552 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:36:30.214 --> 01:36:31.316 [Riv (DM)]: And you cast it on the rock that you're holding? 01:36:32.198 --> 01:36:32.479 [Unmatched Speaker]: Yeah. 01:36:33.083 --> 01:36:33.624 [Riv (DM)]: Great, yeah. 01:36:33.844 --> 01:36:34.845 [Riv (DM)]: You cast Light on the rock. 01:36:36.126 --> 01:36:38.168 [Riv (DM)]: You see Gurren just starts chuckling. 01:36:38.289 --> 01:36:41.112 [Riv (DM)]: He's 20, 30 feet in front of you. 01:36:42.093 --> 01:36:52.644 [Riv (DM)]: He's just like starts chuckling as you see everyone immediately shadows form being cast by the lights and six shadows are cast and six shadows strike you. 01:36:56.548 --> 01:36:59.151 [Lacer (Kai)]: I activate my shield special ability. 01:37:01.674 --> 01:37:01.774 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 01:37:04.049 --> 01:37:09.617 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, we've got... Lunar, Flare...

01:51:20.015 --> 01:51:27.765 [Lacer (Kai)]: I close my eyes and I focus on the memory of me becoming wild shaping into that happy little fun dog. 01:51:28.825 --> 01:51:36.119 [Lacer (Kai)]: And doing the number two in the bed and making a ton of mischief. 01:51:36.359 --> 01:51:38.002 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I thought it was really funny and happy. 01:51:38.022 --> 01:51:41.689 [Riv (DM)]: And how did people react? 01:51:41.709 --> 01:51:45.356 [Riv (DM)]: Do you remember how people reacted to it? 01:51:47.040 --> 01:51:50.907 [Lacer (Kai)]: I thought it was funny, but everyone else had a laugh. 01:51:51.408 --> 01:51:51.508 Yeah. 01:51:52.282 --> 01:51:53.826 [Lacer (Kai)]: Except for the recipient. 01:51:54.407 --> 01:52:04.131 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so there's like, you see this visual in your mind, Nerose looking quite distraught and grumpy about it while the rest of the party is just chuckling away. 01:52:04.735 --> 01:52:10.702 [Riv (DM)]: I think Valoran is just sort of like struggling to hold back a smile, you know. 01:52:11.243 --> 01:52:13.125 [Riv (DM)]: Gemma off to the side, she's giggling. 01:52:13.185 --> 01:52:19.112 [Riv (DM)]: Liliana's there as well, she was I think probably just washing some dishes by the fireside. 01:52:19.373 --> 01:52:31.047 [Riv (DM)]: It's quite a delightful memory that you have and as you start to focus on it you see Grin's eyes sort of alight a bit and his smile somehow grows even wider than it already is. 01:52:31.027 --> 01:52:55.213 [Riv (DM)]: He takes a big deep breath with his nose, just a full inhale he sees his chest expand and the rest of you see the sort of wispy white foggy sort of smoke start to just leave from Kai's face like pulling out of his of his whole face and just clouding its way over and inhales directly into Grinn's nose. 01:52:56.174 --> 01:52:57.135 [Riv (DM)]: He tilts his head back 01:52:58.769 --> 01:53:01.653 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm. 01:53:01.673 --> 01:53:01.933 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm. 01:53:05.638 --> 01:53:07.820 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, that's a good one. 01:53:07.860 --> 01:53:09.603 [Riv (DM)]: That's a good one. 01:53:11.185 --> 01:53:12.206 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, thank you. 01:53:12.266 --> 01:53:13.628 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you for that. 01:53:13.648 --> 01:53:16.191 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, that is, that is quite satisfactory. 01:53:16.311 --> 01:53:17.613 [Riv (DM)]: I will cherish that one. 01:53:17.633 --> 01:53:20.997 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, and Kai, you... 01:53:21.955 --> 01:53:24.198 [Riv (DM)]: You don't even remember what memory you chose to give him. 01:53:24.779 --> 01:53:30.546 [Riv (DM)]: You recall that you came to him, that you've offered him something, but you have no idea what you decided to even give him. 01:53:30.846 --> 01:53:35.713 [Riv (DM)]: All you know is that you did, and whatever memory that was is gone forever. 01:53:35.733 --> 01:53:36.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is now gone. 01:53:39.958 --> 01:53:43.062 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, is the transaction complete? 01:53:44.324 --> 01:53:44.744 [Riv (DM)]: Of course. 01:53:45.265 --> 01:53:46.967 [Riv (DM)]: I will always keep up my end of the bargain. 01:53:47.791 --> 01:53:52.195 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he hops down off his stump and he's quite short. 01:53:52.315 --> 01:53:54.077 [Riv (DM)]: He's shorter than you, comes up to about your waist. 01:53:55.198 --> 01:53:58.041 [Riv (DM)]: He walks around behind the stump and you hear him sort of like rustling away. 01:53:58.081 --> 01:54:06.910 [Riv (DM)]: You hear like a as he like snaps something off it and you see him come back around and he's like this sort of black, kind of like looks sappy, like sap that has dried from a tree. 01:54:07.530 --> 01:54:11.915 [Riv (DM)]: He puts it on top of the stump and reaches into a pouch and sprinkles some stuff over it. 01:54:12.475 --> 01:54:14.457 [Riv (DM)]: You hear him mutter a few words under his breath and 01:54:14.437 --> 01:54:20.945 [Riv (DM)]: Waves a hand over and this black sap starts to glow and illuminate the whole clearing. 01:54:22.047 --> 01:54:23.649 [Riv (DM)]: There are no shadows cast. 01:54:23.749 --> 01:54:30.437 [Riv (DM)]: It's an extremely diffused light that seems to emanate and take up every part of the area. 01:54:30.678 --> 01:54:34.643 [Riv (DM)]: So you may see, but there are no shadows. 01:54:35.804 --> 01:54:40.410 [Riv (DM)]: And he just hands the sap to you, Kai, as he nods his head and says, 01:54:41.048 --> 01:54:41.409 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you. 01:54:41.889 --> 01:54:42.811 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you for that. 01:54:43.211 --> 01:54:47.999 [Riv (DM)]: And with this, your journey will hopefully be much, much smoother. 01:54:49.522 --> 01:54:51.204 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I'm sure you're very busy. 01:54:51.224 --> 01:54:52.026 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sure you're on your way. 01:54:52.086 --> 01:54:53.528 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you for stopping by. 01:54:53.568 --> 01:54:57.034 [Riv (DM)]: And if you see anyone, tell them to come back to Grin the Pale. 01:54:58.616 --> 01:54:59.758 [Riv (DM)]: Grin the Pale. 01:55:00.179 --> 01:55:03.064 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll remember that as I hold the stick and I wave it around. 01:55:03.184 --> 01:55:04.906 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long does this thing last? 01:55:05.828 --> 01:55:07.731 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, it'll last until you leave the forest. 01:55:09.365 --> 01:55:10.887 [Lacer (Kai)]: And what happens after that? 01:55:12.149 --> 01:55:15.514 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine that the enchantment will dissipate as soon as you leave our boundaries. 01:55:18.258 --> 01:55:22.705 [Lacer (Kai)]: So if I stick it into the ground, it will stay lit forever? 01:55:25.308 --> 01:55:25.809 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially. 01:55:25.829 --> 01:55:31.758 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine one of my court will probably notice it at some point and turn it off. 01:55:32.539 --> 01:55:34.682 [Riv (DM)]: We don't like to just give these out to anyone. 01:55:35.003 --> 01:55:37.887 [Riv (DM)]: But yes, in theory, if you were to bury it, it would stay there. 01:55:39.638 --> 01:55:41.701 [Riv (DM)]: This is what is known as a Briar Light. 01:55:45.846 --> 01:55:46.106 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right. 01:55:47.428 --> 01:55:55.858 [Lacer (Kai)]: I hand this to Dondarr so that he can have a once-over to see what this thing does or how it works. 01:55:59.282 --> 01:56:04.389 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Am I able to see how it works enough to reproduce it? 01:56:04.409 --> 01:56:07.873 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh, um... Yeah, roll an Arcana check. 01:56:15.734 --> 01:56:16.835 [Riv (DM)]: Mmm. 01:56:16.855 --> 01:56:17.813 [Riv (DM)]: So you... 01:56:19.092 --> 01:56:22.656 [Riv (DM)]: Obviously emits light, emits diffused light and doesn't cast any shadows. 01:56:23.256 --> 01:56:32.285 [Riv (DM)]: You see that it is created by using the black sap that comes from some of the trees in the forest that you possibly saw on the way. 01:56:33.566 --> 01:56:38.291 [Riv (DM)]: Requires some minor enchantments and some ingredients to go with it. 01:56:38.531 --> 01:56:46.399 [Riv (DM)]: I think on only a 21 you probably wouldn't quite know how to replicate it other than you would need to get some of that black sap and probably spend a bit more time investigating it. 01:56:48.438 --> 01:56:54.068 [Riv (DM)]: That's a start. 01:56:56.733 --> 01:56:57.334 [Riv (DM)]: Bye friends! 01:56:57.995 --> 01:56:59.538 [Riv (DM)]: Hope the rest of your travels go well! 01:57:00.640 --> 01:57:03.505 [Riv (DM)]: And you see he sort of leans down and wiggles his fingers at Ayana. 01:57:04.106 --> 01:57:04.446 [Riv (DM)]: Bye bye! 01:57:04.807 --> 01:57:07.732 [Riv (DM)]: And she giggles a little bit as you start to wander. 01:57:08.734 --> 01:57:11.138 [Riv (DM)]: Unless you have anything else you wanted to say to him? 01:57:13.936 --> 01:57:28.879 [Riv (DM)]: I think Rio is probably holding her hand or something like that after she tried to run for 104. 01:57:28.899 --> 01:57:35.769 [Vael (Berberis)]: The rest of the travel through this lovely part of the forest would be undisturbed, so we shall see how that goes. 01:57:36.951 --> 01:57:39.274 [Riv (DM)]: Grabs his top hat, takes it off and does another head bow to you. 01:57:39.835 --> 01:57:41.057 [Riv (DM)]: Man of my word. 01:57:43.687 --> 01:57:49.056 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, what did he say? 01:57:51.449 --> 01:57:52.530 [Vael (Berberis)]: We will head on out. 01:57:52.971 --> 01:57:54.373 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:57:54.393 --> 01:57:57.337 [Riv (DM)]: And you pass on through the clearing and you carry on travelling. 01:57:57.797 --> 01:58:06.629 [Riv (DM)]: The third stretch of the journey requires no survival check as you have a light and you can very very clearly see the surrounding woods now. 01:58:06.669 --> 01:58:12.897 [Riv (DM)]: You can avoid the brambles, you can see the tricky bits of terrain and you can pick up the pace and go much quicker. 01:58:13.698 --> 01:58:21.388 [Riv (DM)]: No shadows will ever be cast because the diffuse light is expensive enough that you would be well within the radius 01:58:22.280 --> 01:58:23.924 [Riv (DM)]: Do I see any sap along the way? 01:58:23.964 --> 01:58:28.616 [Riv (DM)]: Every now and then, yeah, you would probably see a little bit of sap pouring out of a few trees. 01:58:28.957 --> 01:58:32.205 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I just quickly harvest whatever's close as I go? 01:58:32.573 --> 01:58:33.534 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 01:58:33.554 --> 01:58:35.215 [Riv (DM)]: Have you got like an empty vial or something like that? 01:58:35.796 --> 01:58:40.219 [Riv (DM)]: I think the sap you find would be liquid or liquid liquid. 01:58:40.239 --> 01:58:43.322 [Lacer (Kai)]: I should in my medicine pouch. 01:58:43.482 --> 01:58:44.663 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, medicine pouch. 01:58:44.923 --> 01:58:49.948 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, medicine pouch has herbalism kit has empty vials in it. 01:58:50.888 --> 01:58:53.130 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, if you like you can add a vial of briar sap. 01:58:54.712 --> 01:58:56.613 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure, and I give that to Dondar. 01:58:57.174 --> 01:58:57.674 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cork it up. 01:58:59.035 --> 01:58:59.796 [Lacer (Kai)]: You go Dondar. 01:59:00.617 --> 01:59:02.378 [Lacer (Kai)]: Have a look at that stuff when you're free. 01:59:03.893 --> 01:59:05.055 [Riv (DM)]: Excellent. 01:59:05.075 --> 01:59:05.435 [Riv (DM)]: Very nice. 01:59:06.116 --> 01:59:09.401 [Riv (DM)]: The rest of the journey goes past just cruisy. 01:59:09.742 --> 01:59:13.868 [Riv (DM)]: It almost becomes a little bit novel, a little bit quaint, this last stretch of the journey. 01:59:14.229 --> 01:59:27.509 [Riv (DM)]: You're now used to the woods, what appeared to be unnerving and scary before, now is almost just kind of interesting and almost a little bit comforting now that you've got this sort of cool blanket of light surrounding you. 01:59:28.450 --> 01:59:32.196 [Riv (DM)]: You might see the occasional creature on the periphery of the light, but everything 01:59:32.176 --> 01:59:33.362 [Riv (DM)]: Keeps its distance from you. 01:59:33.403 --> 01:59:39.013 [Riv (DM)]: It appears that this beacon is signaling that you have been granted passage through and you are undisturbed. 01:59:41.272 --> 01:59:55.875 [Riv (DM)]: You eventually, after most of the day, you're probably heading towards, I mean, afternoon, whatever that means here, you find yourselves seeing the trees start to become less thick, less dense, and the light starts to increase a bit. 01:59:56.656 --> 02:00:07.212 [Riv (DM)]: The faintest bit of colour starts to return to your clothes, and as you see ahead, a bit of a break in the trees beyond the light of the main fae realm greets you. 02:00:12.338 --> 02:00:16.245 [Riv (DM)]: Do we carry on out into the light or is there anything else you wanted to do here? 02:00:22.035 --> 02:00:22.856 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nope. 02:00:23.277 --> 02:00:30.089 [Lacer (Kai)]: I give Ayana a good berry to help her heal up one HP. 02:00:32.393 --> 02:00:32.493 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:00:32.513 --> 02:00:35.899 [Riv (DM)]: She grabs it and just sort of starts to munch on a little bit. 02:00:37.145 --> 02:00:39.991 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think she's kind of got a bit of a puzzled expression. 02:00:40.371 --> 02:00:42.355 [Riv (DM)]: I think she's pondering something. 02:00:42.395 --> 02:00:46.263 [Riv (DM)]: Right. 02:00:49.750 --> 02:00:54.559 [Riv (DM)]: We head back out into the light again, leaving the briar shade behind. 02:00:54.599 --> 02:00:58.647 [Riv (DM)]: And ahead of you now, much closer, you can see the... 02:00:59.892 --> 02:01:09.380 [Riv (DM)]: Shimmering peaks, the mountains ahead of you, completely circumnavigated by a river, a vast river. 02:01:10.341 --> 02:01:14.885 [Riv (DM)]: This is some distance ahead, maybe a mile or two ahead of you. 02:01:15.085 --> 02:01:25.694 [Riv (DM)]: You'll have to cross across a grassy plain with little, those little sort of wheat-like stalks sort of popping up all the way along. 02:01:26.395 --> 02:01:28.617 [Riv (DM)]: Nice sort of soft grass. 02:01:30.082 --> 02:01:30.422 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:01:31.504 --> 02:01:35.810 [Riv (DM)]: Ahead of you, across the way you can see obviously the big river. 02:01:36.190 --> 02:01:51.211 [Riv (DM)]: In the distance there is a fairly large bridge that is traversing across the river and then in either direction you can see the river just goes off out of sight winding its way around either side of the mountain. 02:01:53.193 --> 02:01:53.574 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:01:54.395 --> 02:01:57.439 [Riv (DM)]: How about we take a break there and we'll see what we do. 02:01:58.735 --> 02:01:59.898 [Riv (DM)]: Um, when we get back. 02:02:00.780 --> 02:02:01.241 [Riv (DM)]: You guys all good? 02:02:02.164 --> 02:02:02.926 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 02:02:02.946 --> 02:02:04.088 [Lacer (Kai)]: Gonna get some dessert. 02:02:04.289 --> 02:02:04.991 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, sounds good. 02:02:05.011 --> 02:02:09.081 [Riv (DM)]: Should we take a, um, 15, come back late 10-2? 02:02:10.364 --> 02:02:10.966 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:02:10.986 --> 02:02:11.206 [Riv (DM)]: Easy. 02:02:11.648 --> 02:02:11.948 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 02:02:12.089 --> 02:02:12.851 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, catch you guys in a bit. 02:02:14.475 --> 02:02:14.635 [Unmatched Speaker]: See ya. 02:03:45.149 --> 02:25:04.817 ================ Session Break ================ 02:26:00.282 --> 02:26:01.243 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:26:01.263 --> 02:26:01.823 [Riv (DM)]: Stream's back on. 02:26:04.486 --> 02:26:04.766 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:26:05.067 --> 02:26:07.069 [Riv (DM)]: So we've just left the Briar Shade. 02:26:07.949 --> 02:26:17.438 [Riv (DM)]: You're out on a grassy plain, looking ahead of you, the vast expanse of the shimmering peaks, mountains that are white and snowy on the tops, piercing the sky. 02:26:17.479 --> 02:26:26.307 [Riv (DM)]: You can see it being circled by a large river, and you know that your goal is across to the peaks somewhere, as that is what Ayana had said. 02:26:26.287 --> 02:26:33.674 [Riv (DM)]: Your destination was...

03:33:06.993 --> 03:33:15.346 [Riv (DM)]: I actually am thinking maybe we change it so the pawns can actually only throw diagonally, but they don't have to move because otherwise it feels really hard. 03:33:15.366 --> 03:33:17.850 [Riv (DM)]: Like you can't actually move a piece up because it's just going to instantly die. 03:33:18.250 --> 03:33:18.751 [Riv (DM)]: So maybe we make it. 03:33:18.771 --> 03:33:19.612 [Riv (DM)]: That's why I never moved. 03:33:19.632 --> 03:33:19.873 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:33:20.093 --> 03:33:23.198 [Riv (DM)]: Pawns can throw only diagonally. 03:33:23.178 --> 03:33:24.339 [Riv (DM)]: I think other than that, they're fine. 03:33:24.359 --> 03:33:25.640 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, it's meant to be kind of broken. 03:33:25.841 --> 03:33:28.323 [Riv (DM)]: It should be fast and kind of stupid, to be honest, is the point. 03:33:28.343 --> 03:33:30.165 [Riv (DM)]: Like, it's not going to be a balanced game. 03:33:30.665 --> 03:33:31.306 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know how to find it. 03:33:31.326 --> 03:33:33.368 [JC (Ryo)]: One square or three squares on the pawns? 03:33:33.468 --> 03:33:35.770 [Riv (DM)]: One square diagonally, I think, is a throw, is fair. 03:33:38.012 --> 03:33:39.874 [JC (Ryo)]: So pawns are just straight up just normal? 03:33:39.894 --> 03:33:40.435 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, they, yeah. 03:33:40.575 --> 03:33:42.677 [Riv (DM)]: Normal pawns is if they can choose to not move. 03:33:42.697 --> 03:33:43.938 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, they don't have to move on the angle. 03:33:43.958 --> 03:33:44.959 [JC (Ryo)]: They can just throw on the angle. 03:33:46.200 --> 03:33:47.742 [Riv (DM)]: Other than that, I think it's fine. 03:33:47.762 --> 03:33:48.983 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:33:54.532 --> 03:33:59.136 [Riv (DM)]: If you've got the bugstore where you've got everything selected, if you just do a reload, it will fix it for you. 03:34:02.359 --> 03:34:05.382 [JC (Ryo)]: I did it because I'd only been selecting one piece, but now I've got like eight of them selected. 03:34:07.063 --> 03:34:10.787 [Riv (DM)]: Quick reload and if you hit escape on your keyboard, it should deselect everything. 03:34:12.448 --> 03:34:23.138 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I also found that doing an area selection on any one item then allowed me to change between individual items, but if I area selected on multiple, then it broke. 03:34:25.362 --> 03:34:26.544 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Alright, you guys go. 03:34:26.584 --> 03:34:28.526 [Lacer (Kai)]: So just quick, yeah, just quickly above table. 03:34:28.606 --> 03:34:31.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: If I cast Moonbeam, can I cast it over a creature?
