08:11.924 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, so, last time. 08:12.424 --> 08:19.477 [Riv (DM)]: We started in the Feywild, right after Ayana had teleported you to Ethelmara, capital city of the elves. 08:20.339 --> 08:27.372 [Riv (DM)]: Led you through to a place where Ryo's Ring was able to activate a magical engine that could open a portal through to the Feywild. 08:28.454 --> 08:33.102 [Riv (DM)]: Started in a nice woods called the Gossamer Woods. 08:33.082 --> 08:38.290 [Riv (DM)]: Seemed relatively harmless, quite unusual, lots of strange creatures but kind of warm and bubbly. 08:39.532 --> 08:55.056 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately early on in your journey a little pesky pixie connived to play a prank on Lacer, or I should say Kai, but Ayana was rapidly able to misstep, pull Lacer out of the way. 08:55.036 --> 08:55.858 [Riv (DM)]: I'm doing it holy. 08:56.419 --> 09:10.429 [Riv (DM)]: Pulled Kai out of the way and um she took the brunt of it and it turned her into an eight-year-old girl who just seemed confused about everything but excited and thrilled and whatever a bit of a handful um 09:10.409 --> 09:16.079 [Riv (DM)]: You were left with no choice but to carry on in the direction that she was able to rapidly give you right before she changed into a child. 09:16.640 --> 09:17.982 [Riv (DM)]: And so you carried on through. 09:18.022 --> 09:23.632 [Riv (DM)]: You found a few weird puzzles, like there was this thicket where you found yourselves constantly walking in circles. 09:23.672 --> 09:25.495 [Riv (DM)]: Whenever you tried to leave, you would end up right back at it. 09:26.236 --> 09:30.503 [Riv (DM)]: Found that if you walked backwards, you were able to leave successfully. 09:30.643 --> 09:33.328 [Riv (DM)]: Seemed like everything was almost travelling through time in reverse. 09:33.308 --> 09:45.566 [Riv (DM)]: You camped at a chasm that separated two distinct biomes here in the Feywild and discussed and decided which path you should take. 09:45.607 --> 09:53.899 [Riv (DM)]: There was the dark grey brambly looking forest to your west and over to the east there was a 09:55.347 --> 10:01.457 [Riv (DM)]: Weird, large, flowery, hazy, sort of warm-looking biome. 10:02.078 --> 10:09.329 [Riv (DM)]: Berberis suggested, well, why don't we go the way where at least it's honest about its bullshit, and so you decided to go west, through the Briar Shade. 10:10.631 --> 10:21.709 [Riv (DM)]: It was a chromatic void of any colour and light, and you were immediately finding that you were assaulted by shades whenever light was produced. 10:21.689 --> 10:24.093 [Riv (DM)]: And it made travel difficult. 10:24.453 --> 10:27.998 [Riv (DM)]: You were constantly tripping and without light it was going to take forever. 10:28.279 --> 10:30.001 [Riv (DM)]: With light you were going to be assaulted by the shadow. 10:30.542 --> 10:41.698 [Riv (DM)]: Until eventually you came and found a strange young goblin-like looking man with a top hat called Grin the Pale and he said that he can help you but he requires a toll for you to pass. 10:42.259 --> 10:43.882 [Riv (DM)]: And the toll was a colourful memory. 10:44.302 --> 10:46.526 [Riv (DM)]: Colour is a commodity in the Briar Shade. 10:47.327 --> 10:49.570 [Riv (DM)]: And Kai... 10:49.550 --> 11:04.302 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually suggested that he has something and he gave a memory that he found hilarious from the past and Grin the Pale very very enthusiastically consumed it and the memory was wiped from Kai's mind forever. 11:06.290 --> 11:23.303 [Riv (DM)]: This, however, was good because Gryn gave you a bit of Briar Light that was some sort of enchanted sap that provided light in a diffuse enough way that would not produce any of the shades and so you're able to much more rapidly get through the shade. 11:23.283 --> 11:33.540 [Riv (DM)]: Come out on the other side and find yourselves looking across a nice big open plain towards the Shimmering Peaks, the mountains in which the city of Sumara is residing. 11:34.542 --> 11:42.675 [Riv (DM)]: There's a huge big river entirely encircling the mountains called the Liar's River. 11:42.655 --> 11:46.720 [Riv (DM)]: And there were some bridges, well one bridge you could see in the distance that crossed it. 11:47.401 --> 11:53.608 [Riv (DM)]: In getting closer, did a little bit of scouting, thinking well we're in the Feywild, surely there's going to be a troll under the bridge. 11:53.968 --> 11:56.471 [Riv (DM)]: Well there wasn't a troll under the bridge, there was a troll on top of the bridge. 11:57.773 --> 12:04.921 [Riv (DM)]: There was a dark cloaked figure sitting at a table, massive, huge, the table looking small in comparison. 12:05.362 --> 12:08.005 [Riv (DM)]: And as you got closer he said, 12:07.985 --> 12:14.194 [Riv (DM)]: That your souls would be annihilated and you would be banned permanently from the Shimmering Peaks unless you were able to beat him at a game. 12:14.775 --> 12:18.000 [Riv (DM)]: Game turned out to be chess, except it had a bit of a twist. 12:18.020 --> 12:21.445 [Riv (DM)]: You were all shrunk down and played as the pieces on the chessboard. 12:22.166 --> 12:24.970 [Riv (DM)]: And you quickly found that he wasn't quite playing fair. 12:25.250 --> 12:27.193 [Riv (DM)]: Some of the chess pieces had additional powers. 12:27.894 --> 12:32.541 [Riv (DM)]: But once you realized that you could use your own abilities, it quickly became one-sided. 12:32.521 --> 12:38.967 [Riv (DM)]: And the troll, Uncle Grumble the Annihilator, was getting a bit butt hurt, a bit upset about it. 12:39.288 --> 12:45.414 [Riv (DM)]: He thought he had a group of unwilling, unwitting adventurers that he was about to trance. 12:45.434 --> 12:48.877 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, you guys essentially turned the tables on him. 12:49.317 --> 12:51.960 [Riv (DM)]: But he turned out to be a good jolly fellow. 12:53.281 --> 12:57.926 [Riv (DM)]: And he really just turned out he wanted to play some games. 12:57.986 --> 12:59.247 [Riv (DM)]: He wasn't actually going to destroy your souls. 12:59.828 --> 13:02.410 [Riv (DM)]: He was just kind of messing with you. 13:04.010 --> 13:07.896 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think he had a rematch or something, just for the fun of it. 13:08.838 --> 13:20.517 [Riv (DM)]: And once finished, he was happy to let you pass because you won the game, you played with him, and the little girl, he said, was already welcome to pass. 13:20.597 --> 13:22.761 [Riv (DM)]: She had already been granted the authority earlier. 13:24.614 --> 13:33.604 [Riv (DM)]: I guess this is close to where we pick up now, so you would have, unless there's anything you wanted to talk to him about, you would have carried on over the bridge. 13:34.345 --> 13:41.633 [Riv (DM)]: Ayana, the little girl in tow, and started to make your way up the foothills to the Shimmering Peaks. 13:43.055 --> 13:44.176 [Riv (DM)]: So I'll just pause there for a moment. 13:44.256 --> 13:48.681 [Riv (DM)]: Is there anything you guys wanted to prep or talk about in advance of getting towards the city? 13:55.158 --> 13:59.303 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um, what time, what time of day is it? 13:59.583 --> 14:03.108 [Lacer (Kai)]: I thought we were going to sleep on the bridge, but I could be wrong. 14:05.451 --> 14:08.014 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, time is a little bit confusing in the Feywild. 14:08.094 --> 14:11.558 [Riv (DM)]: It's kind of difficult to always know when it's night time and day time. 14:12.099 --> 14:16.604 [Riv (DM)]: Um, but it's probably been, yeah, it's been probably several hours of travel going through the Briar Shade. 14:16.805 --> 14:21.250 [Riv (DM)]: Like, you could probably start going to camp for the night if you wanted, um, before heading up. 14:23.660 --> 14:28.747 [Riv (DM)]: I would say if it was in the material plane, you're probably looking at like late afternoon-ish. 14:30.870 --> 14:31.151 [Lacer (Kai)]: Cool. 14:31.331 --> 14:34.756 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll ask Uncle Grumble what the time would be like. 14:35.738 --> 14:39.323 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because he would be, I'm guessing, the river keeper? 14:42.167 --> 14:46.553 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he stands vigil on the bridge across the Liar's River. 14:47.475 --> 14:51.220 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess I'll ask him what time dinner time would be from now on. 14:53.292 --> 14:56.837 [Riv (DM)]: He's just like, oh, I don't eat very often. 14:57.638 --> 15:02.545 [Riv (DM)]: But for you young ones, you probably maybe eat in a few hours. 15:03.206 --> 15:06.070 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone here in the Feywild runs on a different clock, to be honest. 15:11.017 --> 15:12.459 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: When you get hungry, I like that. 15:13.881 --> 15:14.322 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Indeed. 15:17.153 --> 15:20.218 [Riv (DM)]: The last time I ate was I think a couple of weeks ago. 15:20.258 --> 15:26.088 [Riv (DM)]: There was a little satyr that came over and he failed to win my game and so I just ate him. 15:28.493 --> 15:29.154 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's not nice. 15:30.135 --> 15:31.478 [Riv (DM)]: I'm joking, I'm joking. 15:33.080 --> 15:33.782 [Riv (DM)]: I let him pass. 15:34.944 --> 15:36.186 [Riv (DM)]: But he gave me some bread rolls. 15:36.566 --> 15:37.508 [Riv (DM)]: They were delicious. 15:43.124 --> 15:45.026 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, should we stay the night here? 15:45.046 --> 15:50.171 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or shall we make our way to the mountains, the Shimmering Peaks? 15:52.894 --> 15:56.498 [JC (Ryo)]: Have we asked him how long it is to travel from here to the city? 15:57.779 --> 15:58.500 [Vael (Berberis)]: No, we haven't. 15:58.520 --> 15:59.341 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's a great idea. 15:59.381 --> 16:00.642 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's the Feywild. 16:01.183 --> 16:05.187 [Vael (Berberis)]: Time and distance are all concepts that happen to other people. 16:07.129 --> 16:08.490 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, ask him, Ryo. 16:13.094 --> 16:19.505 [JC (Ryo)]: Uncle, would you care to guess how long it would take to get to the peak, the city? 16:21.107 --> 16:21.187 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 16:22.830 --> 16:26.556 [Riv (DM)]: Time and distance are things that belong to other people in the Feywild. 16:28.019 --> 16:29.181 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry I said that one time. 16:29.221 --> 16:31.545 [Riv (DM)]: I will tell you something quite interesting though. 16:31.705 --> 16:37.775 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you go back across the bridge and walk some way down along the riverbank, looking at the mountains. 16:38.015 --> 16:39.658 [Riv (DM)]: You might notice something interesting. 16:42.743 --> 16:44.867 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm not going to walk across that, uh, near that bank. 16:44.907 --> 16:46.109 [JC (Ryo)]: I saw what came out of that river. 16:46.971 --> 16:49.716 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, if you stay on your side, you'll be fine. 16:49.736 --> 16:50.738 [Riv (DM)]: Just don't touch the water. 16:55.126 --> 16:56.328 [JC (Ryo)]: Do you want me to join you here? 16:58.873 --> 17:04.363 [JC (Ryo)]: Yes, we're going back to the wrong side of the water and walking along the, walking along the bank. 17:04.799 --> 17:11.488 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll give you enhanceability for, I guess, wisdom so you can perceive. 17:12.429 --> 17:13.631 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is he asking us to look for stuff? 17:14.292 --> 17:16.215 [Riv (DM)]: He just said, why don't you go down there and have a look at the mountains? 17:17.296 --> 17:20.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, since he asked Rio, I will give you enhanceability. 17:21.161 --> 17:22.143 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let me tick that off. 17:22.844 --> 17:24.947 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll follow Rio. 17:25.547 --> 17:26.849 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, awesome. 17:26.909 --> 17:29.693 [Riv (DM)]: Great, yeah, well, why don't you roll a perception check then? 17:36.102 --> 17:37.290 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, you get advantage. 17:37.310 --> 17:38.840 [Riv (DM)]: Advantage as well, eh? 17:38.861 --> 17:38.961 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 17:38.981 --> 17:40.411 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 17:40.431 --> 17:41.337 [JC (Ryo)]: Advantage, all right. 17:45.198 --> 17:45.879 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, look at that. 17:45.939 --> 17:46.220 [Riv (DM)]: Huge. 17:47.742 --> 17:48.263 [Riv (DM)]: Fantastic. 17:48.283 --> 17:49.665 [Riv (DM)]: The DC for this was five. 17:50.206 --> 17:53.651 [Riv (DM)]: So you start walking on the river and you don't need to go very far. 17:53.791 --> 17:56.996 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe 100 feet, 200 feet, something like that. 17:57.737 --> 18:02.725 [Riv (DM)]: Still within very, very good close visual distance of the bridge. 18:03.045 --> 18:07.392 [Riv (DM)]: But you do notice as you start to head down away from the bridge, sort of more, you know, 18:07.372 --> 18:12.137 [Riv (DM)]: The mountains, as you're kind of looking, start to look further and further away. 18:12.177 --> 18:20.627 [Riv (DM)]: It's almost like, you know, with every 50 feet or something you travel, they shift backwards, you know, a dozen miles. 18:21.268 --> 18:26.854 [Riv (DM)]: And if you were to keep going, you could imagine the mountains look like they are hundreds and hundreds of miles away. 18:28.196 --> 18:30.959 [Riv (DM)]: And as you turn around and start walking back towards the bridge, they get closer again. 18:31.379 --> 18:34.543 [Riv (DM)]: And once you get to the bridge, the mountains are basically right there on the doorstep. 18:36.818 --> 18:40.505 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, so everything's funny in the fey world. 18:42.709 --> 18:47.477 [Riv (DM)]: Grumble just kind of says, like, it's another part of the defense of the Liar's River. 18:48.559 --> 18:55.131 [Riv (DM)]: If anyone were to try to cross not at one of the bridges, they would face countless, endless distance. 19:03.312 --> 19:06.056 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, you guys want to camp out or you guys want to get going? 19:06.696 --> 19:15.488 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to ask Uncle Grumble, the Lyris River, what happens when things wander in there by accident? 19:16.930 --> 19:18.532 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, the river can tell intentions. 19:18.652 --> 19:23.719 [Riv (DM)]: If it is just an accidental entrance, it will usually just kind of boop them back out of it, send them on their way. 19:23.759 --> 19:30.147 [Riv (DM)]: Only those who are trying to cross unwelcome would find themselves in any danger. 19:33.333 --> 19:34.735 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's good to know. 19:34.775 --> 19:39.182 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there a height? 19:39.422 --> 19:47.654 [Lacer (Kai)]: Say if there was a flying pixie, if they flew like 100 feet over the river, would the river react to that? 19:48.896 --> 19:49.998 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm, very likely would. 19:50.438 --> 19:51.981 [Riv (DM)]: I would not recommend trying it. 19:52.922 --> 19:57.949 [JC (Ryo)]: Didn't we watch that happen with Berberis' owl? 19:58.831 --> 20:02.496 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, we did, but I was flying... 20:02.813 --> 20:12.325 [Lacer (Kai)]: My bat relatively close to the bridge and it got sucked in very quickly before we dispelled them. 20:16.449 --> 20:23.979 [Riv (DM)]: It is entirely possible that one could manage to cross the river using some tricks, but that is why the secondary enchantment is there. 20:24.019 --> 20:30.947 [Riv (DM)]: You may cross the river but find yourselves weeks or months of difficult, near impossible terrain to cross. 20:33.104 --> 20:35.888 [Lacer (Kai)]: Glad we didn't try and walk across with Waterwalk. 20:44.759 --> 20:45.320 [Lacer (Kai)]: One last thing. 20:45.721 --> 21:01.221 [Lacer (Kai)]: Anything we need to know about the Elven city, like customs, traditions, so we don't be disrespectful to the Elven folk. 21:02.450 --> 21:04.293 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Hmm. 21:04.313 --> 21:09.920 [Lacer (Kai)]: We don't want a bad, like, impression the first time we come here. 21:09.940 --> 21:14.346 [Riv (DM)]: I don't spend a lot of time there myself, but I will tell you this. 21:15.228 --> 21:21.857 [Riv (DM)]: I doubt any of them has seen anyone that looks like you for a time, and so I don't think there's much you can do that won't cause a scene. 21:24.000 --> 21:30.128 [Riv (DM)]: Unless you can change what you look like, you're likely to get some very surprised faces. 21:31.880 --> 21:34.484 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How often do you see a large badger? 21:35.986 --> 21:37.588 [Riv (DM)]: Come through here across the bridge, you mean? 21:38.990 --> 21:41.374 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, and in the city, how often would they see that? 21:41.955 --> 21:43.377 [Riv (DM)]: Saw a large badger just here yesterday. 21:44.739 --> 21:46.001 [Riv (DM)]: He was terrible at chess. 21:49.346 --> 21:50.227 [Lacer (Kai)]: I could imagine why. 21:50.267 --> 21:57.538 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I think that's more of a lack of dexterity issue in their hands. 21:59.481 --> 22:01.043 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, I don't make the rules. 22:01.765 --> 22:04.408 [Riv (DM)]: If he can't pick up the pieces to move them, I still win. 22:06.310 --> 22:06.790 [Riv (DM)]: Valid point. 22:08.272 --> 22:09.433 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why is he picking up pieces? 22:10.013 --> 22:13.737 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Did you actually play chess with him and not shrink him down into a chess board? 22:14.598 --> 22:14.958 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Course! 22:16.500 --> 22:22.486 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh my god. 22:22.506 --> 22:23.587 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Good to know you have some limits. 22:26.010 --> 22:27.151 [Riv (DM)]: I would never shrink a badger. 22:28.412 --> 22:29.393 [Riv (DM)]: Glorious creatures. 22:31.297 --> 22:33.863 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Especially not a giant one, then it just becomes kind of a normal one. 22:36.088 --> 22:40.237 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Good to know. 22:44.888 --> 22:46.973 [Riv (DM)]: Alrighty, so what are we feeling? 22:47.033 --> 22:49.238 [Riv (DM)]: Are we resting or are we just going to carry on? 22:49.724 --> 22:53.269 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably just based on looking up at the mountain. 22:53.289 --> 22:59.078 [Riv (DM)]: There's a well-maintained road that you can see that connects to the bridge here and winds up its way up the mountain. 22:59.138 --> 23:01.682 [Riv (DM)]: It could be maybe an hour or two, a couple of hours up to the mountains. 23:05.948 --> 23:08.091 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let's ask Ayana. 23:09.052 --> 23:09.874 [Lacer (Kai)]: Would she remember? 23:11.035 --> 23:14.280 [Riv (DM)]: Ayana's currently like doing a headstand against the side of the bridge. 23:23.069 --> 23:24.312 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I look to Ryo. 23:24.813 --> 23:25.515 [Lacer (Kai)]: What do you want to do? 23:25.535 --> 23:32.172 [JC (Ryo)]: I, yeah, I asked earlier, do you guys want to wait or keep going? 23:32.192 --> 23:33.856 [JC (Ryo)]: Let's just go. 23:33.876 --> 23:34.397 [JC (Ryo)]: Let's go then. 23:35.540 --> 23:37.585 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't have that much health to recover, so... 23:39.421 --> 23:41.003 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, easy as. 23:41.023 --> 23:43.546 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, it's a nice, very, very well-maintained road. 23:43.566 --> 24:01.527 [Riv (DM)]: It sort of carves into the mountains and places, and every now and then you'll see that there are like these nice big stone pillars that have been carved directly out of the rock face itself, and a little lantern hanging that's sort of glowing and alternating between a nice warm yellow and then a cool blue light. 24:02.688 --> 24:09.276 [Riv (DM)]: Little structures here and there, like there's a little cairn that sort of indicates the way up here at the sort of a 24:09.661 --> 24:34.791 [Riv (DM)]: Corner in the road, it's easy going, yeah, couple of hours and you start finding yourselves getting up into sort of thinner air, the breathing's becoming a bit tougher as you feel the altitude and you just start to realize that you're getting close and close to a summit, well it's sort of more like a ridge line, like what do you call it, a saddle, a saddle between the mountains and 24:36.037 --> 24:46.328 [Riv (DM)]: You get the feel that this is probably going to be the last opportunity that you have to make any plans or discuss anything, ideas about how you want to approach things. 24:48.690 --> 24:50.612 [Riv (DM)]: Give you the last opportunity to just chat and plan. 24:54.937 --> 24:56.398 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why have we come here again? 24:56.719 --> 25:00.863 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What are we facing? 25:03.965 --> 25:06.187 [JC (Ryo)]: Ayana sort of didn't give us much of a choice. 25:06.528 --> 25:07.369 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's a valid question. 25:07.389 --> 25:12.014 [Riv (DM)]: Why are you here? 25:12.074 --> 25:21.544 [Lacer (Kai)]: We just followed Ryo and he did his ring thing, Majig, and we teleported to this plane and now we're here? 25:23.165 --> 25:28.091 [JC (Ryo)]: Ayana teleported us to the... What's it called? 25:31.554 --> 25:32.335 [JC (Ryo)]: Illithmara. 25:33.057 --> 25:34.579 [JC (Ryo)]: Didn't give us much of a choice there either. 25:38.023 --> 25:46.132 [Vael (Berberis)]: We're here because there is a section within the elves who we now know finally exist instead of just disappearing. 25:46.992 --> 25:51.177 [Vael (Berberis)]: They don't have information on what's his name, the destroyer? 25:53.600 --> 25:55.041 [Vael (Berberis)]: Kharazoth. 25:55.262 --> 25:56.003 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Crimson Shadow. 25:56.243 --> 25:58.125 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yep. 25:58.305 --> 26:01.849 [Vael (Berberis)]: On top of years finally finding his heritage. 26:07.600 --> 26:10.004 [Vael (Berberis)]: Information and inheritance. 26:11.145 --> 26:20.540 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Most importantly, we are here to get her to stop being a little child. 26:22.403 --> 26:25.568 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That is the primary objective. 26:27.130 --> 26:29.594 [Vael (Berberis)]: Right now, because, yeah. 26:30.335 --> 26:35.042 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We do not want anything else getting out at all, if at all possible. 26:35.900 --> 26:40.665 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Until we have that resolved. 26:40.685 --> 26:45.390 [Riv (DM)]: See, she just looks at you with like big fuss and boots eyes, kind of like, who me? 26:46.191 --> 26:47.332 [Riv (DM)]: Innocent little me. 26:47.352 --> 26:47.893 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yes, you. 26:49.855 --> 26:50.736 [JC (Ryo)]: Evil grin. 26:51.256 --> 26:54.039 [JC (Ryo)]: I think she's had a lot of fun. 26:54.059 --> 26:56.622 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm gonna kneel down to her height and look her in the eyes. 26:56.642 --> 27:01.367 [JC (Ryo)]: Ayana, I need a favor from you. 27:01.407 --> 27:03.409 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 27:04.958 --> 27:10.366 [JC (Ryo)]: We're gonna go to see some people soon and they're gonna fix you and make you big again. 27:11.007 --> 27:14.372 [JC (Ryo)]: But until they do that, can you not say anything about me? 27:15.834 --> 27:16.976 [Riv (DM)]: That sounds boring. 27:17.677 --> 27:18.498 [Riv (DM)]: What do you mean about you? 27:21.323 --> 27:22.625 [Riv (DM)]: Just don't talk about me. 27:23.907 --> 27:24.327 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 27:24.588 --> 27:25.189 [Riv (DM)]: What will you give me? 27:26.591 --> 27:27.192 [Riv (DM)]: What do you want? 27:30.577 --> 27:31.438 [Riv (DM)]: Your bow? 27:34.321 --> 27:35.082 [Riv (DM)]: Something else? 27:39.228 --> 27:39.309 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 27:39.329 --> 27:39.409 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 27:39.429 --> 27:40.190 [Riv (DM)]: I want you to decide. 27:47.842 --> 27:49.765 [JC (Ryo)]: We had fun playing cards the other day, didn't we? 27:50.546 --> 27:51.387 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, that was fun. 27:52.128 --> 27:52.809 [Riv (DM)]: Can I have your cards? 27:53.430 --> 27:54.532 [JC (Ryo)]: Would you like a set of cards? 27:55.153 --> 27:55.794 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, alright. 27:58.678 --> 27:59.940 [JC (Ryo)]: And I give her a set of cards. 28:01.118 --> 28:09.135 [Riv (DM)]: She pulls them, opens them up, does like a little fan, and then just starts like flicking them off the edge of the mountain, one by one. 28:10.278 --> 28:13.424 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, they're hers. 28:13.705 --> 28:15.208 [Riv (DM)]: Can someone roll for me a perception check? 28:16.972 --> 28:17.052 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 28:24.490 --> 28:25.232 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, easy as. 28:25.733 --> 28:35.274 [Riv (DM)]: As you're sort of making your way up, following the winding road, in the distance you start hearing sort of chinks, like steel chipping away at stone or something like that. 28:41.267 --> 28:41.908 [Lacer (Kai)]: Hmm, what's that? 28:47.778 --> 28:53.425 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'd like to put my hand against the closest stone wall. 28:53.745 --> 28:54.907 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're in the mountains, right? 28:54.927 --> 29:01.254 [Lacer (Kai)]: I want to feel if there's any vibrations reverberating through the earth. 29:01.274 --> 29:01.575 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 29:01.675 --> 29:08.423 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, go for it. 29:08.463 --> 29:12.688 [Riv (DM)]: What sort of skill check do you think Kai would be able to do for this? 29:13.107 --> 29:14.548 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's just perception. 29:14.568 --> 29:22.315 [Lacer (Kai)]: If I just like put my hand or my ear against it, see if I can feel the hitting or the smacking against stone. 29:22.796 --> 29:23.016 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 29:23.476 --> 29:23.837 [Riv (DM)]: Yes, cool. 29:23.957 --> 29:24.257 [Riv (DM)]: Sounds good. 29:24.277 --> 29:24.617 [Lacer (Kai)]: Go for it. 29:30.182 --> 29:30.563 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, nice. 29:31.223 --> 29:36.068 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, you can, I guess as soon as you put your ear up to the stone, it definitely gets louder. 29:36.168 --> 29:37.909 [Riv (DM)]: Like the vibrations are definitely coming through the stone. 29:37.949 --> 29:41.072 [Riv (DM)]: Something is chipping away at the stone up ahead of you. 29:42.082 --> 29:48.210 [Lacer (Kai)]: So I just, the only thing I want to know is if there's like a rhythm, like a rhythmic chipping away. 29:48.230 --> 29:49.351 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's probably not rhythmic. 29:49.712 --> 29:53.777 [Riv (DM)]: You know, a couple of quick taps, then a long heavy tap, and then a few more little taps. 29:53.797 --> 29:56.220 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, so it's, I say it's a regular. 29:56.320 --> 29:57.441 [Lacer (Kai)]: The tapping is a regular. 30:09.537 --> 30:10.738 [Lacer (Kai)]: Shall we investigate? 30:13.790 --> 30:14.471 [Riv (DM)]: It's on the way. 30:14.551 --> 30:15.172 [Riv (DM)]: Better keep going. 30:16.513 --> 30:30.089 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, the chipping gets louder as you continue heading your way up and eventually you crest a corner of the mountain and look up ahead of you and, you know, still more of these little pillars of lanterns on them. 30:30.550 --> 30:38.920 [Riv (DM)]: Up ahead there's like a carving of a tree that's sort of protruding from the side of the stone face here and there's a person. 30:38.900 --> 30:44.307 [Riv (DM)]: You can see there's a, which looks to be an elf sort of kneeling down, maybe middle-aged. 30:44.507 --> 30:46.389 [Riv (DM)]: He's got a stone chisel and a hammer. 30:46.570 --> 30:53.799 [Riv (DM)]: He's just sort of tapping away, got like a little cloth in his belt that he pulls out every now and then to just wipe away some of the dust. 30:54.780 --> 31:01.689 [Riv (DM)]: Green tunic and yeah and you can see like on his belt as well he's got like a little jar hooked with some flowers in it. 31:02.910 --> 31:06.595 [Riv (DM)]: His fingers maybe look a little bit ink-stained or something like that. 31:08.363 --> 31:09.604 [Riv (DM)]: And he's currently got it back to you. 31:09.625 --> 31:10.385 [Riv (DM)]: He's just sort of chipping away. 31:28.387 --> 31:29.969 [Riv (DM)]: Do you approach? 31:30.009 --> 31:31.090 [Riv (DM)]: Do you sneak up on him? 31:32.272 --> 31:33.773 [Riv (DM)]: Or kill him? 31:33.854 --> 31:35.175 [Riv (DM)]: Do you throw him over the side? 31:35.235 --> 31:36.717 [Riv (DM)]: What do we do? 31:37.456 --> 31:38.297 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dundas sneezes. 31:39.618 --> 31:39.939 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 31:40.660 --> 31:45.946 [Riv (DM)]: And at that, the elf's head pops and turns in your direction. 31:45.986 --> 31:54.576 [Riv (DM)]: He kind of stands up immediately and kind of like takes you in and his mouth just sort of like drops open and he just like freezes. 31:55.677 --> 32:03.126 [Riv (DM)]: He's like a clank as he drops his hammer to the ground and sort of like rolls a little bit down the hill and he just stands there just staring at you with his mouth open. 32:05.909 --> 32:06.990 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dundas says, Sorry! 32:08.320 --> 32:10.063 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Sorry, the pollen. 32:10.083 --> 32:14.349 [Riv (DM)]: I, uh, what, who, I, what are you, how are you, uh... 32:15.511 --> 32:18.295 [Riv (DM)]: He starts, like, backing up, like, pressing himself up against the stone. 32:22.081 --> 32:22.222 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Hi! 32:22.943 --> 32:23.504 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We're visiting. 32:24.906 --> 32:25.447 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Nice to meet you. 32:27.670 --> 32:29.773 [Riv (DM)]: Uh, nice to meet you too, I guess. 32:29.974 --> 32:30.294 [Riv (DM)]: Visit? 32:30.615 --> 32:31.656 [Riv (DM)]: What do you mean, visiting? 32:31.716 --> 32:32.417 [Riv (DM)]: Visiting from where? 32:32.457 --> 32:33.339 [Riv (DM)]: How did you get here? 32:34.941 --> 32:36.724 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Same way other people might? 32:38.594 --> 32:39.816 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We walked up the mountain. 32:41.458 --> 32:41.558 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 32:41.578 --> 32:42.820 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: He like, rubs his temples. 32:43.501 --> 32:45.884 [Riv (DM)]: You just walked up the... 32:47.827 --> 32:47.907 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I... 32:47.927 --> 32:50.070 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm just... Had a nice game of chess with Uncle Grumble. 32:51.412 --> 32:52.614 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Walked up the mountain and now we're here. 32:54.276 --> 32:54.777 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh boy. 32:55.818 --> 32:58.823 [Riv (DM)]: Are you... Did you... 32:58.843 --> 33:00.285 [Riv (DM)]: But like, how did you get here here? 33:00.345 --> 33:02.828 [Riv (DM)]: I assume you're from the material plane, right? 33:04.691 --> 33:06.053 [Riv (DM)]: There are no humans over here. 33:08.767 --> 33:10.409 [Riv (DM)]: Well, that one's a dwarf, not a human. 33:11.630 --> 33:12.651 [Riv (DM)]: How dare you. 33:12.671 --> 33:14.212 [Riv (DM)]: Fair point. 33:14.232 --> 33:14.933 [Riv (DM)]: No offense intended. 33:16.174 --> 33:18.476 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, we had a little help with, uh, from this one here. 33:18.496 --> 33:21.539 [JC (Ryo)]: As I'm holding, like, trying to hold Ayana's hand. 33:24.181 --> 33:24.722 [JC (Ryo)]: If she lets me. 33:25.483 --> 33:26.143 [JC (Ryo)]: Indeed. 33:28.065 --> 33:31.008 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, this one, this one's, uh, her name's Ayana. 33:31.068 --> 33:35.652 [JC (Ryo)]: She got hit with, um, some pixie dust of some sort and made her young. 33:37.606 --> 33:38.027 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh. 33:38.367 --> 33:49.168 [Lacer (Kai)]: I cast Prestigitation to create a minor creation of the image of what she looked like in my hand, of what she looked like as an adult. 33:49.709 --> 33:50.651 [Riv (DM)]: She took you here? 33:51.693 --> 33:53.055 [Riv (DM)]: She created a portal for you to come through? 33:55.339 --> 33:56.321 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, it took me a portal. 33:57.844 --> 34:00.930 [Lacer (Kai)]: There was a lot of magic, and yeah. 34:01.855 --> 34:29.803 [Riv (DM)]: I uh look all right I look I'm I just take care of the road all right I don't want anything to do with this I don't want to hear anything about portals if anyone asks you didn't tell me about this we just wave pleasantly to each other and you carried on on your way all right how does that sound oh that would sound didn't even see you all right wonderful if you could just let us know where we could possibly go to get her some help uh 34:31.336 --> 34:37.602 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, I guess you probably want to go to the Circle of the Dawn, I assume, right? 34:38.103 --> 34:39.544 [Riv (DM)]: There'll be healers there? 34:41.786 --> 34:42.507 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Good enough for us. 34:43.648 --> 34:44.569 [Riv (DM)]: What does it look like? 34:45.870 --> 34:46.591 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, you can't miss it. 34:47.692 --> 34:48.713 [Riv (DM)]: Once you get up to the top of the city. 34:48.733 --> 34:49.394 [Riv (DM)]: I assume it's a circle. 34:51.556 --> 34:52.597 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, good one, yeah. 34:53.958 --> 34:54.959 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, you're joking, right? 34:57.442 --> 34:58.963 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, it's our first time here, so... 35:00.479 --> 35:01.501 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: She said we're just visiting. 35:03.223 --> 35:04.265 [Riv (DM)]: Oh boy, oh boy. 35:06.248 --> 35:08.371 [Riv (DM)]: Look, can we go our separate ways, please? 35:08.491 --> 35:09.513 [Riv (DM)]: I don't want to get in trouble. 35:09.673 --> 35:10.935 [Riv (DM)]: I just tend to the road. 35:12.778 --> 35:18.026 [Riv (DM)]: If you're looking for a healer, Circle of the Dawn should have healers who can help you. 35:18.106 --> 35:19.949 [Riv (DM)]: They'll be down in the Luminary Canton. 35:21.170 --> 35:23.434 [Riv (DM)]: The road passes straight through it. 35:23.454 --> 35:23.995 [Riv (DM)]: You can't miss it. 35:24.095 --> 35:25.116 [Riv (DM)]: Lots of golden buildings. 35:25.517 --> 35:27.300 [Riv (DM)]: Plenty of nice. 35:29.103 --> 35:29.423 [Riv (DM)]: Okay? 35:33.655 --> 35:34.016 [Lacer (Kai)]: Sure. 35:34.957 --> 35:37.741 [Lacer (Kai)]: I like to see what he was carving at in the mountain. 35:39.384 --> 35:43.530 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he was working on the statue of the tree that was coming out of the side. 35:43.791 --> 35:45.513 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like quite an old tree. 35:45.533 --> 35:46.976 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like he was sort of more touching it up. 35:47.156 --> 35:50.821 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe it had gone a bit withered or something and so he was just putting some more detail back into it. 35:51.603 --> 35:54.107 [Lacer (Kai)]: How much light is there around here at the moment? 35:54.808 --> 35:56.891 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's bright afternoon light, yeah. 35:57.632 --> 35:58.834 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, he's got plenty of light. 35:58.854 --> 35:58.954 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 36:03.743 --> 36:06.728 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nice carving, that's all I'm going to say. 36:07.369 --> 36:11.836 [Vael (Berberis)]: Does it look like a Feywild tree or a Material Realm tree? 36:13.659 --> 36:15.061 [Riv (DM)]: That's an interesting question. 36:15.402 --> 36:18.207 [Lacer (Kai)]: And one you have not considered. 36:20.070 --> 36:25.859 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, he's carving a tree or is the tree alive and he's like maintaining the tree? 36:27.101 --> 36:29.565 [Riv (DM)]: It looks like a tree that... 36:30.153 --> 36:37.564 [Riv (DM)]: Is both larger than anything you could possibly imagine and yet still somehow quantifiable into a statue. 36:38.978 --> 36:39.739 [Riv (DM)]: That makes any sense. 36:39.759 --> 36:43.423 [Riv (DM)]: It's like, it doesn't look like any tree you've ever seen before. 36:43.583 --> 36:51.273 [Riv (DM)]: The proportion of the roots that are carved down into the stone wall don't seem to make any sense with the size of the tree itself. 36:51.413 --> 37:01.104 [Riv (DM)]: And then you can see leaves and branches and stuff like that, which are both like gigantic, but then the proportions don't quite make sense with the rest of the trunk of the tree. 37:01.645 --> 37:04.188 [Riv (DM)]: It definitely doesn't look like any tree you've seen before. 37:05.129 --> 37:07.652 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna ask him, what type of tree is this? 37:09.674 --> 37:11.416 [Riv (DM)]: This, what, you don't recognise it? 37:13.359 --> 37:16.544 [Lacer (Kai)]: We're visiting, first time I've seen one like this ever. 37:18.687 --> 37:19.968 [Lacer (Kai)]: But it's very nicely carved. 37:20.609 --> 37:22.852 [Riv (DM)]: Oh thank you, I do my best. 37:22.933 --> 37:28.520 [Riv (DM)]: It's a very frail mockery of the original. 37:28.801 --> 37:34.028 [Riv (DM)]: This, well this my friends is my attempt at recreating an image of the World Tree. 37:35.105 --> 37:43.576 [Riv (DM)]: I don't, obviously haven't seen the original but we have drawings and other sculptures deeper in the city and that's what I like to imagine it looks like. 37:46.440 --> 37:50.525 [Lacer (Kai)]: So you haven't actually seen one before but you are imagining. 37:50.805 --> 37:52.267 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh my friend there is only one world tree. 37:56.793 --> 37:57.113 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 37:59.476 --> 38:00.117 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Where is it? 38:03.185 --> 38:06.128 [Riv (DM)]: Question like that doesn't quite make sense. 38:09.812 --> 38:13.577 [Riv (DM)]: Does, um, hmm, who of you would have heard of the World Tree? 38:15.439 --> 38:16.360 [Riv (DM)]: Possibly Dondar. 38:20.444 --> 38:21.806 [Riv (DM)]: Who, anyone like super? 38:22.387 --> 38:23.428 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, probably just Dondar actually. 38:23.448 --> 38:25.390 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, do you want to roll a history check? 38:27.973 --> 38:29.494 [Riv (DM)]: And Vale, you probably know what I'm talking about, eh? 38:30.776 --> 38:31.317 [Vael (Berberis)]: Potentially. 38:31.657 --> 38:31.757 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah. 38:33.003 --> 38:35.707 [Vael (Berberis)]: Dirty's probably involved in some description. 38:36.969 --> 38:37.710 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Kiwi thinks he knows. 38:38.190 --> 38:39.372 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Donda, I don't know. 38:40.053 --> 38:48.385 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Is it the kind of thing Erendor's mother would have had any stories of while he was a young, young child? 38:49.066 --> 38:49.506 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, go for it. 38:49.526 --> 38:50.708 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you roll a history check as well? 38:57.758 --> 38:59.203 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ooh. 38:59.223 --> 38:59.985 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're the same. 39:00.005 --> 39:01.390 [Vael (Berberis)]: You guys have both got pretty good answers. 39:01.410 --> 39:03.516 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do you like history or a nature check? 39:04.520 --> 39:06.646 [Riv (DM)]: No, it's not really a nature thing, actually. 39:06.666 --> 39:11.582 [Riv (DM)]: I guess I'll give you this info. 39:13.452 --> 39:23.927 [Riv (DM)]: The World Tree is a cosmic sentient being that sort of transcends every plane of existence. 39:24.248 --> 39:38.628 [Riv (DM)]: I think, Donda, you probably heard that or read that in a book somewhere in your studies, and Erendor, maybe your mother, Reneth, at one point made a reference to the World Tree that binds all the planes together or something like that. 39:41.793 --> 39:43.375 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Are we going back to Pandora? 39:46.595 --> 39:47.816 [Lacer (Kai)]: I think it's much bigger than that. 39:47.937 --> 39:50.820 [Lacer (Kai)]: It binds all the planes of existence together. 39:50.980 --> 39:53.323 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's like a big magic tree. 39:53.503 --> 39:54.144 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's crazy. 39:56.227 --> 40:00.572 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, like I said. 40:00.612 --> 40:04.457 [Lacer (Kai)]: When I say big, it's bigger than what we can imagine. 40:05.017 --> 40:12.366 [Lacer (Kai)]: If a plane is so big, this tree must be bigger than all the planes combined. 40:13.240 --> 40:35.329 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah well I mean we can talk metaphysically if you want like size doesn't really make sense because the material plane is infinite right and every other plane in theory is infinite as well um and so for something else to live outside of the cosmic planes of existence doesn't make a lot of sense to talk about size um yeah it's not really something that like a mortal brain can wrap the head around I think. 40:36.291 --> 40:37.192 [Riv (DM)]: Not. 40:37.212 --> 40:37.392 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 40:42.046 --> 40:47.652 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to make, I'll make a mental note of the world tree, the world tree. 40:47.932 --> 40:48.472 [Lacer (Kai)]: How cool. 40:53.317 --> 40:53.397 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 40:53.417 --> 40:54.398 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 40:54.418 --> 40:58.302 [Riv (DM)]: He sort of turns back to what he was doing and starts chipping away again. 40:58.322 --> 41:00.644 [Riv (DM)]: He keeps one eye over his shoulder, just keeping an eye on you. 41:03.347 --> 41:05.249 [Riv (DM)]: And I assume you pass on by. 41:05.289 --> 41:09.613 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 41:10.594 --> 41:10.794 [Riv (DM)]: Very good. 41:10.814 --> 41:11.395 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Sounds like it. 41:13.079 --> 41:24.550 [Riv (DM)]: After not too much longer, sort of saddle up ahead of you, split between two peaks of the mountains, you sort of get up to the ridge line and crest the hill and you look down and you see it. 41:25.072 --> 41:28.962 [Riv (DM)]: There is the city of Sumara just laid out in front of you. 41:28.942 --> 41:33.987 [Riv (DM)]: It fills the entire caldera below you like something poured into a bowl of white stone. 41:34.608 --> 41:37.031 [Riv (DM)]: The city doesn't sit on the land, it grows from it. 41:37.611 --> 41:45.580 [Riv (DM)]: Tier upon tier of alabaster and glass cascade down the mountain walls, connected by arching bridges of what you can only describe as frozen light. 41:46.481 --> 41:53.228 [Riv (DM)]: Spires catch the Feywild sky and refract it into prisms, and somewhere far below there's a silvery waterfall that's... 41:53.208 --> 41:57.615 [Riv (DM)]: Crashing down from heights and disappearing into channels of long blue water below the city. 41:58.176 --> 42:07.953 [Riv (DM)]: In the very centre you can see rising a narrow spire of natural stone and a citadel built atop it that you can only describe in one way. 42:08.354 --> 42:09.816 [Riv (DM)]: It appears to be eternal. 42:12.175 --> 42:42.064 [Riv (DM)]: Above the city you can see sort of floating maybe drifting slightly there are a couple of massive structures like tall buildings of spires and peaks and these structures are sort of floating around the city above it as vast as temples just hanging there as if they simply forgot to fall out of the sky and as you kind of get up to this ridge line here and look down you just hear Ayana draw a sharp deep breath as she's kind of something some emotion comes over here and she um she grips your hand for you and holds on to it tightly 42:43.647 --> 42:49.081 [Riv (DM)]: These floating buildings are one that's quite near to you, just floating up to there. 42:49.643 --> 42:58.686 [Riv (DM)]: Floating quite close and off to the right a bit, looks like a beautiful perfect crystal sphere with like these orrery rings sort of rotating around it. 42:58.666 --> 43:01.770 [Riv (DM)]: You can see another one way over to the west floating as well. 43:01.810 --> 43:11.584 [Riv (DM)]: It kind of looks like a squat angular fortress, like a castle or something, a greystone floating and it's almost like sitting on a chunk of earth as if it was just torn up out of the ground and it's just floating there. 43:12.205 --> 43:15.189 [Riv (DM)]: There's a couple other buildings floating around as well, smaller ones, larger ones. 43:18.593 --> 43:20.156 [Riv (DM)]: And down in front of you you see the road. 43:21.658 --> 43:26.344 [Riv (DM)]: It starts to dip and you can see it has a few zigzags as it 43:27.151 --> 43:28.874 [Riv (DM)]: It carries on down into the start of the city. 43:29.355 --> 43:41.357 [Riv (DM)]: The buildings of the city itself are built up on terraces and the road that you follow will eventually hit the nearby terrace below you before you start heading down into the city. 43:43.701 --> 43:45.725 [Riv (DM)]: You just hear Ayana say, wow it's pretty. 43:48.951 --> 43:49.632 [Lacer (Kai)]: It sure is. 44:01.019 --> 44:06.769 [Lacer (Kai)]: So looking down at the city, do we see a main gate of entry? 44:08.171 --> 44:09.473 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, that's an interesting question. 44:11.757 --> 44:17.407 [Riv (DM)]: Do you, do you want to, like, are you going to start heading down or are you going to try and look to see if you could spot a gate, like, before you get there? 44:18.729 --> 44:19.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know, never been here. 44:20.432 --> 44:25.761 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm gonna take the, what's it called, I'm gonna stand back and wait for someone to do something. 44:37.992 --> 44:40.756 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar sits down on a stool and starts smoking a pipe. 44:45.604 --> 44:47.106 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a Constitution check, Dondar. 44:54.617 --> 44:54.978 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh god. 45:00.206 --> 45:02.510 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar will as soon as he can find it. 45:03.371 --> 45:03.892 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I believe in you. 45:05.975 --> 45:06.075 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 45:08.755 --> 45:10.057 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, not bad, not bad at all. 45:10.578 --> 45:14.885 [Riv (DM)]: The pipe material, the pipe weed is old. 45:15.125 --> 45:16.508 [Riv (DM)]: It's old and getting a bit stale. 45:17.048 --> 45:19.633 [Riv (DM)]: And it burns your lungs a bit, but Dondar's a tough guy. 45:19.893 --> 45:20.714 [Riv (DM)]: This is nothing to him. 45:22.357 --> 45:22.738 [Riv (DM)]: Enjoy it. 45:22.798 --> 45:23.559 [Riv (DM)]: You almost enjoy. 45:23.599 --> 45:30.771 [Riv (DM)]: It's like you might say gumboot weed or something like that, as we would say in New Zealand. 45:31.232 --> 45:34.577 [Riv (DM)]: And also, just for the fun of it, make a dexterity saving throw. 45:35.772 --> 45:37.975 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Oh god. 45:37.995 --> 45:39.037 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: My fingers! 45:45.446 --> 45:46.287 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, excellent. 45:46.407 --> 45:47.028 [Riv (DM)]: Also very good. 45:47.429 --> 45:53.317 [Riv (DM)]: The stool you're sitting on obviously has snapped off bottom legs of it and so it's a little bit of a slant. 45:53.337 --> 45:57.683 [Riv (DM)]: It's a little bit shaky but you're very dexterous apparently in this moment and you're able to remain sitting on it upright. 46:00.347 --> 46:03.872 [Riv (DM)]: I'm telling you man, if you do something I'll make you roll for stuff. 46:04.882 --> 46:07.065 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll tell Dondar. 46:07.425 --> 46:09.007 [Lacer (Kai)]: Let me have a look at that store sometime. 46:09.027 --> 46:14.254 [Lacer (Kai)]: I might mend those legs a bit so you won't fall flat on your butt. 46:14.955 --> 46:16.497 [Riv (DM)]: Dondar, roll another dick savings roll. 46:17.719 --> 46:19.101 [JC (Ryo)]: Alright, so I'm just going to start. 46:19.161 --> 46:21.524 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm just going to look at everyone's stock and then start walking in. 46:22.305 --> 46:23.026 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep, start walking in. 46:25.129 --> 46:26.310 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh. 46:27.011 --> 46:29.134 [Riv (DM)]: Rio, can you make a... 46:30.464 --> 46:34.550 [Riv (DM)]: Just make a dex and add your proficiency and just make a dex check. 46:34.570 --> 46:39.037 [Riv (DM)]: Add your proficiency and your dex points. 46:39.057 --> 46:42.803 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: This chair will not be repaired until it sits in the halls of Glimmerforge. 46:45.407 --> 46:47.350 [JC (Ryo)]: Plus three, I think I've got proficiency. 46:48.892 --> 46:49.593 [JC (Ryo)]: Where the hell is it? 46:49.914 --> 46:50.334 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm blind. 46:51.376 --> 46:52.578 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, actually, another thing. 46:53.519 --> 46:56.604 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know if you're allowed proficiency for an ability check like that, eh? 46:58.026 --> 46:58.767 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know. 46:59.843 --> 47:02.346 [Riv (DM)]: You said proficiency, I was just trying to find it. 47:02.606 --> 47:05.169 [Riv (DM)]: Your proficiency at the moment is plus four, I believe. 47:05.189 --> 47:07.372 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, four, okay. 47:08.093 --> 47:12.198 [Riv (DM)]: Donda, Ryo starts to walk down the hill and he kicks the stool out from under you. 47:12.818 --> 47:16.863 [Riv (DM)]: And it clatters down the road a little way and you find yourself sitting on your bum. 47:19.606 --> 47:20.588 [Lacer (Kai)]: Does a leg break off? 47:21.308 --> 47:21.649 [Lacer (Kai)]: Nah, stupid. 47:21.669 --> 47:22.670 [Lacer (Kai)]: And he rolls strength. 47:22.690 --> 47:25.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: He rolls strength and breaks the leg off. 47:25.714 --> 47:29.378 [Riv (DM)]: It's a beautiful well-crafted stool all the way from back in, does anyone remember where? 47:30.758 --> 47:33.344 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, from, um... From the Oliver Twist kids. 47:34.206 --> 47:35.309 [Vael (Berberis)]: No, he swapped it. 47:35.329 --> 47:37.033 [Vael (Berberis)]: Didn't he trade it for a different stool or something? 47:37.053 --> 47:39.298 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, but still from the same kids at Darmouth, right? 47:39.539 --> 47:40.521 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, was it Darmouth? 47:40.782 --> 47:41.864 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, or Farhaven. 47:41.884 --> 47:42.766 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, it was Kamar. 47:43.007 --> 47:43.428 [Lacer (Kai)]: Kamar. 47:43.448 --> 47:44.069 [Lacer (Kai)]: It was Kamar. 47:44.170 --> 47:44.751 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's right. 47:46.132 --> 47:49.517 [Riv (DM)]: I believe Dondarr's traded in his stool for one of their nice ones. 47:49.657 --> 47:52.200 [Riv (DM)]: He asked for a magical stool that could make... 47:52.461 --> 47:54.864 [Riv (DM)]: He asked for a magical item that could make him grow taller. 47:55.184 --> 47:57.568 [Riv (DM)]: And so, Alassar gave him a stool. 47:58.910 --> 48:00.331 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, so the stool is enchanted. 48:00.352 --> 48:02.274 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, it's just a joke. 48:02.314 --> 48:03.356 [Riv (DM)]: No, it's just a stool. 48:03.376 --> 48:05.358 [Riv (DM)]: It's just a stool because it makes him grow taller. 48:08.242 --> 48:09.484 [JC (Ryo)]: We didn't come this far to stop. 48:09.564 --> 48:10.125 [JC (Ryo)]: Let's keep going. 48:10.886 --> 48:12.168 [JC (Ryo)]: I say it after I've kicked it. 48:12.749 --> 48:15.312 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondarr yells an elvish curse and picks up... 48:16.456 --> 48:17.477 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: The stall again. 48:18.678 --> 48:18.778 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 48:18.798 --> 48:21.240 [Riv (DM)]: Straps it to your back and we start carrying on down. 48:23.462 --> 48:24.043 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 48:24.063 --> 48:25.665 [Vael (Berberis)]: Familiar owl up and out. 48:27.746 --> 48:28.087 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah. 48:28.107 --> 48:28.207 [Vael (Berberis)]: Cool. 48:28.227 --> 48:30.249 [JC (Ryo)]: There'd be some sort of guard. 48:31.490 --> 48:32.351 [JC (Ryo)]: My head's on a swivel. 48:33.191 --> 48:33.412 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 48:33.932 --> 48:36.174 [Riv (DM)]: And I assume you're all guised up as usual? 48:37.596 --> 48:38.276 [JC (Ryo)]: Just my normal. 48:39.297 --> 48:39.397 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 48:39.417 --> 48:40.939 [Riv (DM)]: How are the rest of you guys presenting yourselves? 48:44.722 --> 48:45.703 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm just gonna... 48:46.544 --> 49:06.460 [Lacer (Kai)]: Pick Ayanna up onto my shoulders and I'm just gonna have her piggyback her up and then we just walk down behind Ryo like we're just having a fun time. 49:07.688 --> 49:23.095 [Riv (DM)]: Cool, so looking through the owl, Berberus, sure enough, as the elf you just met said, the road traverses down the mountain and eventually enters a set of buildings, the first sort of outcropping of the city itself. 49:23.556 --> 49:29.005 [Riv (DM)]: I mean these, you know, it's not like a single theme, it's not like the city is painted in themes, but... 49:28.985 --> 49:32.230 [Riv (DM)]: Sort of golden, yellowish hues to these buildings. 49:33.151 --> 49:37.277 [Riv (DM)]: There's a lot of nice stone, some wooden roofs, that sort of thing. 49:38.078 --> 49:38.919 [Riv (DM)]: Mostly stone though. 49:38.959 --> 49:42.144 [Riv (DM)]: And these buildings, yeah, definitely have that hue. 49:42.164 --> 49:45.949 [Riv (DM)]: They're little bits and pieces of golden, yellowish theme. 49:46.249 --> 49:48.192 [Riv (DM)]: So you assume that this would be... 49:48.172 --> 49:51.275 [Riv (DM)]: Whatever the Circle of Dawn is, the Luminary Canton. 49:52.517 --> 49:53.238 [Riv (DM)]: Looking for a gate?

01:02:59.065 [Riv (DM)]: Just kind of professional, no? 01:03:00.387 --> 01:03:03.632 [Vael (Berberis)]: Hasn't been overtly hostile other than the fucking spear through Kai. 01:03:03.812 --> 01:03:04.693 [Vael (Berberis)]: Ah, that was the other guy. 01:03:04.874 --> 01:03:10.943 [Riv (DM)]: And to be fair, you guys could be anyone, and a random dude comes into the city and starts casting magic? 01:03:12.064 --> 01:03:12.665 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't know, man. 01:03:12.685 --> 01:03:14.648 [Vael (Berberis)]: We made it over the bridge, we can't be that bad. 01:03:15.202 --> 01:03:15.763 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's true. 01:03:15.903 --> 01:03:20.847 [Vael (Berberis)]: And if we made it over the bridge and we were bad, then he's in a lot of shit because we're a lot more powerful. 01:03:20.867 --> 01:03:22.009 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's true. 01:03:22.029 --> 01:03:24.791 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's why the importance of that bridge was vastly overstated. 01:03:24.811 --> 01:03:29.996 [Vael (Berberis)]: Also, I have his name badge and serial number, so when the king comes into his own, that guy's scrubbing the door. 01:03:30.016 --> 01:03:31.017 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Didn't get the serial number. 01:03:31.718 --> 01:03:34.300 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:03:35.942 --> 01:03:42.188 [Riv (DM)]: Keren will jump off his weapon now that you guys are all bound. 01:03:42.168 --> 01:03:46.578 [Riv (DM)]: And he just sort of like pats it on the side and it will take off, flap up into the air. 01:03:46.758 --> 01:03:53.053 [Riv (DM)]: The other two wardens will also fly and take off as well and just begin circling in the air above you as Caeryn starts to take you down through the city. 01:03:53.093 --> 01:03:59.788 [Riv (DM)]: Now feeling comfortable and confident as you are bound that he can lead you. 01:03:59.768 --> 01:04:14.217 [Riv (DM)]: And at one point you might find like, I don't know, you probably wouldn't necessarily, but if you were to try and maybe wander slightly off the path, you see he kind of like gestures with his hand and you feel the bound braces like almost like drag you back into place. 01:04:14.737 --> 01:04:16.660 [Riv (DM)]: It leads you down into the city. 01:04:17.161 --> 01:04:30.663 [Riv (DM)]: It's a beautiful city, twisting streets, massive large spires, glass roofs, these bridges that connect different parts of the city. 01:04:30.703 --> 01:04:41.200 [Riv (DM)]: So you go down through a deep street that carves in between a couple of terraces and you look up two massive tall buildings and there's just a bridge made of starlight that just connects them. 01:04:42.260 --> 01:04:54.371 [Riv (DM)]: As you get down lower into the lower parts of the city, the big stone spire in the very center getting closer you can see more detail on this beautiful citadel that's built on the top of it. 01:04:55.532 --> 01:05:09.145 [Riv (DM)]: Kind of you hear the sound of the waterfall crashing far off in the distance across the other side of the caldera from you, but looking down you can see the river sort of carving down into crevices beneath the city as you sort of look over an edge here or there. 01:05:09.125 --> 01:05:35.385 [Riv (DM)]: As you get lower down into the city you pass from this sort of nice golden sort of buildings into much more sort of um I don't know how you'd say like formal sort of buildings a lot more um esoteric sort of brick stonework um bricks made of like the still same very very nice stone almost like it was probably carved from the Shimmering Mountains themselves but much more of a formal place. 01:05:35.365 --> 01:05:38.191 [Riv (DM)]: Banners of purple now seem to be hanging from here. 01:05:38.251 --> 01:05:51.618 [Riv (DM)]: You can see a very nice looking building, perhaps some sort of official building with a large big emblazoned banner on the side of it, a massive big circle with a weighted set of scales tilted to one side. 01:05:53.482 --> 01:05:56.007 [Riv (DM)]: He leads you down through the streets here and 01:05:55.987 --> 01:06:05.381 [Riv (DM)]: Starts heading off towards the west where you can see up on this side of the caldera, the western side of the caldera, massive huge terraces that put the others to shame. 01:06:05.701 --> 01:06:13.213 [Riv (DM)]: Like someone had just come in with a knife and just hacked at the side of the of the mountain here and carved deep deep terraces. 01:06:14.094 --> 01:06:16.898 [Riv (DM)]: Not unnaturally, they look natural but 01:06:16.878 --> 01:06:18.420 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, massive role formations. 01:06:18.981 --> 01:06:27.032 [Riv (DM)]: And he leads you in the direction, you can see there are whole heap of buildings here, like sort of carved and growing out of the side of the mountain here, up along these terraces. 01:06:28.714 --> 01:06:45.096 [Riv (DM)]: Leads you up here into this part of the city, you start seeing, you start seeing emblems of the same sort of crest that the Warden here wears on his chest, the vertical sword in a circle, as you see banners of red. 01:06:47.050 --> 01:06:54.901 [Riv (DM)]: It eventually leads you to a nice, clean, but severe hall here on one of the lower terraces. 01:06:56.483 --> 01:06:59.707 [Riv (DM)]: It's pristinely clean, very professional, but unadorned. 01:07:00.308 --> 01:07:01.930 [Riv (DM)]: Looks like it's just for business. 01:07:03.012 --> 01:07:04.173 [Riv (DM)]: Nice big stone floors. 01:07:04.714 --> 01:07:10.442 [Riv (DM)]: It takes you to a room with a long table, a couple of oil lamps around the side burning. 01:07:10.422 --> 01:07:12.564 [Riv (DM)]: Which is kind of interesting. 01:07:12.824 --> 01:07:14.947 [Riv (DM)]: Oil lamps in a city like this. 01:07:15.968 --> 01:07:16.228 [Riv (DM)]: All good. 01:07:16.528 --> 01:07:19.091 [Riv (DM)]: Got that nice sort of, that rustic sort of smell. 01:07:20.532 --> 01:07:22.555 [Riv (DM)]: And he sits you down against the table. 01:07:23.495 --> 01:07:24.757 [Riv (DM)]: Up, up, in the table. 01:07:24.777 --> 01:07:25.177 [Riv (DM)]: What did you say? 01:07:25.277 --> 01:07:25.898 [Riv (DM)]: At the table? 01:07:25.918 --> 01:07:26.258 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh my god. 01:07:27.560 --> 01:07:28.240 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: In the table? 01:07:28.340 --> 01:07:28.961 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: In the table. 01:07:28.981 --> 01:07:29.622 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: On the table? 01:07:29.782 --> 01:07:30.363 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: In the table? 01:07:30.683 --> 01:07:31.324 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Under the table? 01:07:32.084 --> 01:07:32.625 [JC (Ryo)]: Uh, DM? 01:07:33.165 --> 01:07:34.367 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah. 01:07:34.427 --> 01:07:34.847 [JC (Ryo)]: Question. 01:07:35.007 --> 01:07:39.552 [JC (Ryo)]: Did he make Ayana handcuff herself as well? 01:07:39.768 --> 01:07:44.977 [Riv (DM)]: No, she's just sort of trailing along, yeah, but he's been keeping close eye on her. 01:07:47.702 --> 01:07:56.418 [Riv (DM)]: It's like he possibly heeded the warning somewhat that maybe she's not who she appears to be and didn't want to do anything potentially untoward, but he has been keeping close eye on her just in case. 01:07:56.979 --> 01:07:58.963 [Riv (DM)]: She's a little child, what could she possibly do anyway, right? 01:08:02.569 --> 01:08:03.531 [Lacer (Kai)]: During our travel? 01:08:03.967 --> 01:08:06.671 [Lacer (Kai)]: I like the blood to trickle down my arm. 01:08:06.851 --> 01:08:10.657 [Lacer (Kai)]: I like to just drip blood every few meters, like splotches of blood on the ground. 01:08:13.942 --> 01:08:14.102 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 01:08:15.083 --> 01:08:18.769 [Riv (DM)]: Are you sort of like making a trail or something like that? 01:08:18.789 --> 01:08:18.889 Yeah. 01:08:18.909 --> 01:08:20.291 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, nice. 01:08:20.311 --> 01:08:22.394 [Lacer (Kai)]: Because I didn't have time to patch the wound or anything. 01:08:22.414 --> 01:08:25.899 [Lacer (Kai)]: We just did handcuffs, so it's been just dripping every few meters. 01:08:26.961 --> 01:08:28.223 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Someone needs to clean that up now. 01:08:29.024 --> 01:08:31.107 [Lacer (Kai)]: Exactly, that's the whole point. 01:08:31.127 --> 01:08:32.149 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Desecrate their city. 01:08:33.330 --> 01:08:33.771 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Disgraceful. 01:08:34.645 --> 01:08:43.821 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed, he sits you down at the table here. 01:08:44.963 --> 01:08:50.313 [Riv (DM)]: And I think he probably leaves the room momentarily. 01:08:50.593 --> 01:08:53.478 [Riv (DM)]: You hear a bit of a discussion happening outside and he comes back in. 01:08:53.498 --> 01:08:57.345 [Riv (DM)]: A couple more wardens follow who just sort of stand on either end of the room. 01:08:57.815 --> 01:08:59.737 [Riv (DM)]: He sits down across the table from you. 01:09:00.017 --> 01:09:06.002 [Riv (DM)]: He's got a sort of sketch pad, some parchment, and looks up at you. 01:09:06.983 --> 01:09:10.426 [Riv (DM)]: And first question is, how did you cross the Liar's River? 01:09:13.869 --> 01:09:14.790 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Who's he asking? 01:09:15.791 --> 01:09:18.893 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We played chess. 01:09:18.914 --> 01:09:19.894 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Drumble where you passed. 01:09:20.915 --> 01:09:21.075 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 01:09:22.116 --> 01:09:22.877 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: He welcomed us. 01:09:23.958 --> 01:09:26.320 [Vael (Berberis)]: We stuck around to play a few more games with him. 01:09:27.397 --> 01:09:29.340 [Riv (DM)]: I want you guys to make a persuasion check. 01:09:29.801 --> 01:09:36.531 [Riv (DM)]: One of you can do it with advantage, or two of you can roll persuasion checks separately. 01:09:36.551 --> 01:09:38.273 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He doesn't have a face anymore. 01:09:38.534 --> 01:09:43.321 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Interesting. 01:09:43.341 --> 01:09:44.082 [JC (Ryo)]: Who just spoke just then? 01:09:44.102 --> 01:09:45.985 [JC (Ryo)]: It was, um... Erendor. 01:09:46.365 --> 01:09:46.786 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I spoke? 01:09:47.206 --> 01:09:48.949 [JC (Ryo)]: Erendor and Berberus, they should roll one each. 01:09:49.402 --> 01:09:53.388 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, I am getting to the character sheet. 01:09:53.408 --> 01:09:56.333 [Riv (DM)]: I love asking you guys to wait for persuasion checks now that you don't have Valorant in the party. 01:09:57.795 --> 01:10:01.921 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yep, I'm just saying the party doesn't have a face, deal with it. 01:10:01.941 --> 01:10:05.887 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, you see he writes something down, shakes his head slightly. 01:10:07.089 --> 01:10:08.211 [Riv (DM)]: And what is your purpose here? 01:10:11.536 --> 01:10:14.380 [JC (Ryo)]: Make Ayanna an adult and you'll get all your answers. 01:10:14.917 --> 01:10:15.978 [JC (Ryo)]: And I don't see anything else. 01:10:16.499 --> 01:10:17.820 [Vael (Berberis)]: She got a face full of pixie dust. 01:10:18.380 --> 01:10:19.582 [Vael (Berberis)]: She needs to get unpixied. 01:10:21.143 --> 01:10:21.383 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes. 01:10:21.764 --> 01:10:28.290 [Lacer (Kai)]: Uncle Grumble told us to go see the Circle of Dawn to seek a healer to dispel the magic. 01:10:31.033 --> 01:10:32.775 [Riv (DM)]: I've already sent for a healer from the Dawn. 01:10:33.295 --> 01:10:34.056 [Riv (DM)]: They should be here soon. 01:10:35.738 --> 01:10:37.660 [JC (Ryo)]: Well, then I'm not saying another word till she's an adult. 01:10:39.822 --> 01:10:40.462 [Vael (Berberis)]: I guess we wait. 01:10:43.305 --> 01:10:44.046 [Vael (Berberis)]: In the meantime, 01:10:44.228 --> 01:10:46.411 [Vael (Berberis)]: Handcuffs are still behind her back. 01:10:46.612 --> 01:10:47.813 [Vael (Berberis)]: She's really uncomfortable. 01:10:49.476 --> 01:10:50.417 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I'm still bleeding. 01:10:50.718 --> 01:10:51.679 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I get patched up? 01:10:53.722 --> 01:10:55.725 [Riv (DM)]: You... 01:10:55.745 --> 01:10:56.767 [Riv (DM)]: I'm gonna try everything again. 01:10:57.047 --> 01:11:01.634 [Riv (DM)]: You are fully surrounded here by many elite wardens. 01:11:01.714 --> 01:11:02.716 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am handcuffed. 01:11:02.736 --> 01:11:03.497 [Lacer (Kai)]: I am handcuffed. 01:11:03.517 --> 01:11:04.198 [Lacer (Kai)]: What can I do? 01:11:04.539 --> 01:11:05.520 [Lacer (Kai)]: What can I possibly do? 01:11:05.540 --> 01:11:10.708 [Riv (DM)]: I ask if I were to uncuff you, will you behave yourselves? 01:11:13.608 --> 01:11:16.751 [JC (Ryo)]: You said we're handcuffed and put into chairs, right? 01:11:18.152 --> 01:11:20.114 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I've swung my feet up and put them on the table already. 01:11:20.855 --> 01:11:22.777 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm just ignoring, I'm completely ignoring him now. 01:11:24.758 --> 01:11:25.899 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondarr is still smoking. 01:11:27.361 --> 01:11:29.763 [Riv (DM)]: Just like, that's just locked in, that's just there in his lips. 01:11:29.783 --> 01:11:32.205 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, how are you smoking with your hands behind your back? 01:11:32.566 --> 01:11:33.346 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have them in my mouth. 01:11:33.607 --> 01:11:34.507 [Riv (DM)]: Holding it around his mouth. 01:11:35.268 --> 01:11:38.031 [Riv (DM)]: Bro, he's got lips of steel, that jaw, ain't letting go. 01:11:39.692 --> 01:11:40.493 [Vael (Berberis)]: Slowly, slowly. 01:11:40.692 --> 01:11:44.576 [Vael (Berberis)]: We'll offer you assurance of security if you offer us assurance of security. 01:11:45.697 --> 01:11:52.404 [Riv (DM)]: You see Ciaran's sort of professional composure just waver a little bit, shakes his head slightly. 01:11:52.965 --> 01:11:53.566 [Riv (DM)]: Fine, okay. 01:11:54.627 --> 01:12:05.198 [Riv (DM)]: And he gestures with his hand and you just feel the clatter as all of the cuffs pop open and just go and just like line themselves up stuck against the wall behind you. 01:12:07.085 --> 01:12:11.613 [JC (Ryo)]: Both hands behind my head, just sitting there with my feet up on the table, hands behind my head. 01:12:12.454 --> 01:12:16.741 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: And after that I just roll my shoulders and a few good crunches. 01:12:18.765 --> 01:12:20.728 [Riv (DM)]: Do you need some help with your shoulder there? 01:12:22.351 --> 01:12:24.935 [Vael (Berberis)]: Have you got a healer or can we patch you out right now? 01:12:24.955 --> 01:12:26.137 [Vael (Berberis)]: If you're able to, go for it. 01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:33.109 [Lacer (Kai)]: You said no ma- yeah, I bust out my- I'm going to say I'm going to put my hand- 01:12:33.730 --> 01:12:40.438 [Lacer (Kai)]: In my bag of holding and pull out my herbalism kit to patch this up and I point to my shoulder. 01:12:42.100 --> 01:12:42.521 [Riv (DM)]: You may. 01:12:43.081 --> 01:12:45.264 [Riv (DM)]: It wasn't that hard, was it? 01:12:45.304 --> 01:12:47.166 [Riv (DM)]: All you had to do was announce your intentions. 01:12:47.687 --> 01:12:48.027 [Lacer (Kai)]: I did. 01:12:48.107 --> 01:12:51.091 [Lacer (Kai)]: I said I'm going to cast a spell to show you what she looks like. 01:12:51.511 --> 01:12:52.733 [Lacer (Kai)]: And then you threw a spear at me. 01:12:53.854 --> 01:12:54.575 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Hey, it wasn't him. 01:12:56.658 --> 01:12:58.039 [Lacer (Kai)]: Well, they're together. 01:12:58.380 --> 01:13:01.223 [Lacer (Kai)]: Your group threw a spear at me. 01:13:01.557 --> 01:13:06.061 [Riv (DM)]: So, um, as you do that, where did you come from, from the Material Plane?

01:35:56.262 --> 01:35:57.283 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What do you mean? 01:35:57.784 --> 01:36:00.289 [Riv (DM)]: Wonderful mashup. 01:36:00.529 --> 01:36:00.990 [Riv (DM)]: I love it. 01:36:04.109 --> 01:36:05.571 [Riv (DM)]: Let's just roll with it, bro. 01:36:05.611 --> 01:36:09.236 [Riv (DM)]: I'm not a big fairytale person in real life, but there you go. 01:36:09.296 --> 01:36:12.440 [Vael (Berberis)]: If I were mixed metaphors, that was mixed memes. 01:36:13.341 --> 01:36:15.203 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, I got it, but it was good. 01:36:16.765 --> 01:36:18.467 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can Dungar roll a history check? 01:36:18.487 --> 01:36:19.669 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Like, what are you talking about? 01:36:20.350 --> 01:36:21.291 [Riv (DM)]: Oh my god, yep. 01:36:22.392 --> 01:36:25.917 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alice in Wonderland and... No, I know that! 01:36:26.197 --> 01:36:28.620 [Vael (Berberis)]: Wizard of Oz, and then a little bit of Matrix sprinkled on top. 01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:30.082 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That doesn't mean anything in this world. 01:36:31.744 --> 01:36:33.947 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's a super well-known fairytale. 01:36:34.602 --> 01:36:41.374 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's well known in this world, in Olandus. 01:36:41.735 --> 01:36:42.977 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, absolutely. 01:36:44.099 --> 01:36:54.237 [JC (Ryo)]: So I'm apparently some royal someone that got dumped in the Darkwood with his memories wiped. 01:36:54.357 --> 01:36:55.099 [JC (Ryo)]: That's what you're telling me. 01:36:57.082 --> 01:36:59.226 [Riv (DM)]: You aren't just someone, Ryo. 01:36:59.999 --> 01:37:11.060 [Riv (DM)]: You must be, and it was confirmed when you were able to activate the engine back in Ithlmara, you are the direct child of Ratha and Rennaya Silmara. 01:37:12.062 --> 01:37:14.728 [Riv (DM)]: You are the only remaining heir to the Silmara bloodline. 01:37:19.196 --> 01:37:20.138 [JC (Ryo)]: Can you say those names again? 01:37:20.439 --> 01:37:21.180 [JC (Ryo)]: Ratha and... 01:37:23.320 --> 01:37:25.242 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, you don't know your parents, of course. 01:37:25.503 --> 01:37:27.946 [Riv (DM)]: It's so sad. 01:37:27.986 --> 01:37:29.187 [Riv (DM)]: They were wonderful people. 01:37:29.688 --> 01:37:30.689 [Riv (DM)]: Close friends of mine, actually. 01:37:31.510 --> 01:37:34.834 [Riv (DM)]: Your father, Ratha, and your mother, Rhennaya. 01:37:39.380 --> 01:37:40.041 [Riv (DM)]: What type of womb? 01:37:41.402 --> 01:37:42.223 [JC (Ryo)]: Rhennaya. 01:37:43.525 --> 01:37:46.729 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I'm actually making notes for a change. 01:37:53.915 --> 01:37:54.717 [Riv (DM)]: They were wonderful. 01:37:56.280 --> 01:38:00.067 [Riv (DM)]: They sacrificed everything for our people when the Empire rose. 01:38:01.169 --> 01:38:02.772 [Riv (DM)]: This would have been about a century ago. 01:38:03.834 --> 01:38:07.722 [Riv (DM)]: As you may have come together, 01:38:08.056 --> 01:38:11.120 [Riv (DM)]: One doesn't just simply traverse the planes of existence. 01:38:12.321 --> 01:38:17.568 [Riv (DM)]: I believe that is why you would have found such concern and shock at your existence here. 01:38:18.108 --> 01:38:19.790 [Riv (DM)]: Humans don't just appear in the Feywild. 01:38:20.331 --> 01:38:24.236 [Riv (DM)]: We have strict, strict laws that planar travel is forbidden. 01:38:26.038 --> 01:38:32.646 [Riv (DM)]: Due to the millennia ago, at the time of the Shattering, as you recall I told you recently, 01:38:33.993 --> 01:38:42.316 [Riv (DM)]: The boundaries between the planes are weakened, and the fear is that too much planar travel may weaken them even more, and so it is strictly forbidden. 01:38:42.998 --> 01:38:44.442 [Riv (DM)]: When the Empire rose, 01:38:45.704 --> 01:38:50.949 [Riv (DM)]: Your family, your parents, opened the way with the portal engine in Ethelmara. 01:38:51.390 --> 01:38:53.552 [Riv (DM)]: There are a couple of others spread around the world as well. 01:38:54.133 --> 01:38:55.014 [Riv (DM)]: That was the one we used. 01:38:55.274 --> 01:39:00.760 [Riv (DM)]: We were able to get our people through safely because this engine is very special. 01:39:01.120 --> 01:39:02.922 [Riv (DM)]: It transcends planar travel. 01:39:03.002 --> 01:39:09.889 [Riv (DM)]: It taps into the very essence of the World Tree itself and allows travel without needing to pass through the boundaries of the planes. 01:39:12.535 --> 01:39:14.858 [Riv (DM)]: So you can imagine you all appearing here. 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:22.049 [Riv (DM)]: Everyone would have assumed wizards, warlocks who can breach planar travel and have just appeared on the doorstep. 01:39:22.509 --> 01:39:25.834 [Riv (DM)]: It's either a crime or it is something malicious. 01:39:27.917 --> 01:39:30.300 [Riv (DM)]: Unfortunately, it's something completely different. 01:39:30.320 --> 01:39:32.043 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why not a malicious crime? 01:39:32.063 --> 01:39:33.966 [Riv (DM)]: It is hope. 01:39:34.867 --> 01:39:36.349 [Riv (DM)]: It is wonderful. 01:39:36.329 --> 01:39:44.741 [Riv (DM)]: The fact that we are here at all is absolutely wonderful because you were the last hope for the elves ever potentially returning to Elandis. 01:39:45.322 --> 01:39:47.304 [Riv (DM)]: Because now you can open the engine again. 01:39:49.768 --> 01:39:50.128 [Riv (DM)]: And more. 01:39:50.509 --> 01:39:54.354 [Riv (DM)]: There is so much more for you to learn, but there's... 01:39:54.775 --> 01:39:56.397 [Riv (DM)]: I honestly don't even know where to start. 01:39:57.679 --> 01:40:00.383 [Riv (DM)]: I assume you had questions about your parents? 01:40:00.543 --> 01:40:01.965 [Riv (DM)]: You must have many questions. 01:40:03.194 --> 01:40:08.643 [Riv (DM)]: We can talk as we go, but first, hang on, sorry, just let me, give me a moment. 01:40:10.105 --> 01:40:13.891 [Riv (DM)]: I need to send a message to someone to call for the confluence. 01:40:13.911 --> 01:40:18.779 [Riv (DM)]: She stands up, walks over to the corner of the room, and you see she traces some purple symbols in the air. 01:40:19.400 --> 01:40:19.881 [Riv (DM)]: Eyes flash. 01:40:20.262 --> 01:40:23.827 [Riv (DM)]: It, actually you've seen her do this before, she appears to be casting a sending spell. 01:40:25.670 --> 01:40:27.253 [Riv (DM)]: I hear her murmuring under her voice. 01:40:28.274 --> 01:40:29.877 [Riv (DM)]: Waits a moment as she gets the response. 01:40:31.038 --> 01:40:33.961 [Riv (DM)]: Wanda's back over to the table and just lets out a deep sigh. 01:40:35.984 --> 01:40:39.427 [Riv (DM)]: Well, this is going to be interesting, I think. 01:40:46.235 --> 01:40:47.196 [Riv (DM)]: She said she's going to try. 01:40:47.216 --> 01:40:50.560 [Riv (DM)]: If possible, it will be tonight at Moonrise. 01:40:51.321 --> 01:40:51.982 [Riv (DM)]: Gives us a bit of time. 01:40:52.662 --> 01:40:53.784 [Riv (DM)]: Do you feel like exploring the city? 01:40:54.825 --> 01:40:57.788 [Riv (DM)]: I can answer any questions you have and show you about if you like. 01:41:00.265 --> 01:41:05.854 [Riv (DM)]: Just before Moonrise though, we'll head over to the Aetherian Canton. 01:41:06.795 --> 01:41:07.396 [Riv (DM)]: See my friend. 01:41:10.040 --> 01:41:13.485 [Lacer (Kai)]: Could we get some clothes to blend in with the locals? 01:41:13.625 --> 01:41:15.969 [Lacer (Kai)]: I feel like we stand out way too much. 01:41:17.952 --> 01:41:19.094 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, do you feel like going shopping? 01:41:22.159 --> 01:41:24.061 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 01:41:24.823 --> 01:41:28.348 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know anything about the city, but it does look very cool. 01:41:29.442 --> 01:41:29.862 [Riv (DM)]: It's wonderful. 01:41:30.063 --> 01:41:31.904 [Riv (DM)]: We can go buy some clothes. 01:41:32.305 --> 01:41:32.965 [Riv (DM)]: We get a drink. 01:41:33.626 --> 01:41:37.390 [Riv (DM)]: I haven't been here in, what, nearly four decades. 01:41:37.790 --> 01:41:38.691 [Riv (DM)]: I would love to get a drink. 01:41:39.052 --> 01:41:41.334 [Riv (DM)]: See if old, um... 01:41:41.354 --> 01:41:43.616 [Riv (DM)]: Older Fading Stars Tavern is still the same as it used to be. 01:41:43.636 --> 01:41:44.857 [Riv (DM)]: I wonder if Torgrun's there. 01:41:45.558 --> 01:41:47.140 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah. 01:41:47.160 --> 01:41:47.540 [Riv (DM)]: Interesting. 01:41:47.560 --> 01:41:48.821 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you have elvish weed? 01:41:49.582 --> 01:41:50.763 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I'm sure we can find some. 01:41:50.943 --> 01:41:53.065 [Riv (DM)]: I could find you some fungal weed. 01:41:53.446 --> 01:41:54.707 [Riv (DM)]: Feel like trying that, dwarf. 01:41:57.269 --> 01:41:59.314 [Riv (DM)]: Wow, you're in the right place. 01:42:00.999 --> 01:42:08.157 [Vael (Berberis)]: There is the small problem of us not looking like elves and I'm sure word is getting around but do you want to noise it up? 01:42:09.672 --> 01:42:11.694 [Riv (DM)]: Sure, you know what, give me a moment. 01:42:12.776 --> 01:42:20.344 [Riv (DM)]: She stands, sort of grips her hands into the air, you see she's straining a little bit as she appears to be channelling more powerful magic than usual. 01:42:21.606 --> 01:42:26.311 [Riv (DM)]: Symbols appear, she grabs them, twists them, turns them and pushes them in, almost like pressing a button. 01:42:26.992 --> 01:42:31.697 [Riv (DM)]: And you feel magic start to circle in the room around you, and... 01:42:32.707 --> 01:42:42.157 [Riv (DM)]: Moment goes by and you look, and you all sort of start to change, your features change, even your weapons and armor change, until you look like, yes, pretty sensible, well-dressed elves. 01:42:43.238 --> 01:42:44.960 [Riv (DM)]: As she casts the spell Seeming. 01:42:48.704 --> 01:42:52.488 [Riv (DM)]: Which will last for, I believe, eight hours, and allows you to look however she likes. 01:42:59.275 --> 01:43:01.397 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, I was going to say, that's a big mass illusion spell. 01:43:02.356 --> 01:43:03.558 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Dondar looks at Ryo. 01:43:03.879 --> 01:43:04.680 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Am I pretty now? 01:43:05.943 --> 01:43:07.285 [Lacer (Kai)]: Wait, I look at Dondar. 01:43:07.485 --> 01:43:08.607 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I see a short elf? 01:43:08.888 --> 01:43:10.010 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like a really short elf? 01:43:12.715 --> 01:43:14.378 [Riv (DM)]: Seeming changes the height a little bit. 01:43:14.418 --> 01:43:16.241 [Riv (DM)]: I believe it lets you adjust a few feet up and down. 01:43:17.203 --> 01:43:18.005 [JC (Ryo)]: Please make him a child. 01:43:18.025 --> 01:43:19.808 [JC (Ryo)]: Please make him a child. 01:43:20.986 --> 01:43:22.888 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is he a child elf? 01:43:23.028 --> 01:43:25.170 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like a really stout child elf. 01:43:26.992 --> 01:43:28.013 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Up to one foot. 01:43:28.694 --> 01:43:29.274 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That's not enough. 01:43:30.055 --> 01:43:30.936 [Riv (DM)]: She looks over to you, Dondar. 01:43:31.276 --> 01:43:31.897 [Riv (DM)]: What do you reckon? 01:43:31.917 --> 01:43:35.100 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want to be a slightly shorter adult elf or do you want to be a child? 01:43:38.423 --> 01:43:39.224 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What's the difference? 01:43:39.985 --> 01:43:40.646 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it's up to you. 01:43:40.886 --> 01:43:41.607 [Riv (DM)]: It's whatever you look like. 01:43:42.828 --> 01:43:44.850 [Riv (DM)]: It's not going to physically change you, it's just an illusion. 01:43:46.832 --> 01:43:48.073 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I want to be tall. 01:43:48.745 --> 01:43:49.966 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I can make you a little bit taller. 01:43:50.667 --> 01:43:52.469 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: See what it looks like to look down on people. 01:43:53.110 --> 01:43:55.193 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, but it won't actually affect what you look like. 01:43:55.213 --> 01:43:55.913 [Riv (DM)]: It will still be you. 01:43:56.294 --> 01:43:59.958 [Riv (DM)]: And if you were to walk up to someone and they would touch your head, their hand would go straight through it. 01:44:02.321 --> 01:44:04.403 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Luckily, that is a very rude thing to do. 01:44:05.104 --> 01:44:05.425 [Riv (DM)]: Indeed. 01:44:05.465 --> 01:44:09.710 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:44:10.190 --> 01:44:11.091 [Riv (DM)]: So you want to be a little bit taller? 01:44:12.453 --> 01:44:13.094 [Riv (DM)]: Sure. 01:44:13.114 --> 01:44:13.734 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 01:44:13.795 --> 01:44:16.778 [Riv (DM)]: She waves her hand and your form adjusts as you grow slightly more. 01:44:18.935 --> 01:44:21.037 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, shall we hit the city then? 01:44:23.360 --> 01:44:24.281 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, let's go shopping. 01:44:25.002 --> 01:44:27.124 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, let's take a break there. 01:44:28.105 --> 01:44:30.147 [Riv (DM)]: And we shall explore the city and get back. 01:44:30.167 --> 01:44:32.190 [Riv (DM)]: You know what, I might throw this up. 01:44:33.331 --> 01:44:37.836 [Riv (DM)]: Just so I can give you a slight visual of what I sort of... No, not that one. 01:44:38.396 --> 01:44:38.737 [Riv (DM)]: This one. 01:44:39.738 --> 01:44:40.639 [Riv (DM)]: Stoop. 01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:42.781 [Riv (DM)]: Wait, who took a screenshot? 01:44:43.162 --> 01:44:43.522 [Riv (DM)]: Screenshot. 01:44:43.562 --> 01:44:45.364 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Alt-tabbed for that one, of course. 01:44:47.622 --> 01:44:50.406 [Riv (DM)]: Just a cheeky, cute little visual of what I'm imagining. 01:44:51.328 --> 01:44:52.990 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that's pretty cool. 01:44:53.010 --> 01:44:55.874 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, let's take a 15 minute break, eh? 01:44:55.894 --> 01:45:02.144 [Riv (DM)]: Come back at 25 to... Or should we go 20 minutes so that you have enough time to make your noms, Deathmouse? 01:45:03.145 --> 01:45:04.908 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, 15 should be enough. 01:45:05.269 --> 01:45:05.749 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Alright, cool. 01:45:05.769 --> 01:45:06.050 [Riv (DM)]: Let's do it. 01:45:06.590 --> 01:45:07.071 [Riv (DM)]: Come back in 15. 01:45:07.091 --> 01:45:09.154 [Lacer (Kai)]: Not a big believer in handrails, are they? 01:45:10.296 --> 01:45:11.177 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's Magic City. 01:45:11.278 --> 01:45:12.039 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's a Magic City. 01:45:12.059 --> 01:45:12.980 [Lacer (Kai)]: You don't need handrails. 01:45:13.220 --> 01:45:14.282 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:45:14.302 --> 01:45:14.502 [Riv (DM)]: Nice. 01:45:14.643 --> 01:45:14.963 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 01:45:14.983 --> 01:45:15.604 [Riv (DM)]: Catch you guys in a bit, eh? 01:46:49.915 --> 02:16:08.445 ================ Session Break ================ 02:16:56.350 --> 02:16:57.231 [Lacer (Kai)]: We've got a shit ton. 02:16:57.972 --> 02:16:58.873 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:17:00.755 --> 02:17:01.956 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I don't know. 02:17:02.056 --> 02:17:03.278 [Riv (DM)]: I think I gave you a bunch recently. 02:17:06.281 --> 02:17:09.285 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, we've got 2,000 plat in the Bag of Holding. 02:17:09.725 --> 02:17:10.506 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, Bag of Holding. 02:17:10.566 --> 02:17:11.707 [Lacer (Kai)]: I put a bunch of plat in there. 02:17:11.727 --> 02:17:13.009 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, the Bag of Holding's got a shit ton as well. 02:17:13.750 --> 02:17:18.875 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, Bag of Holding has 2,000 plat, 235 gold, and 30 silver. 02:17:20.797 --> 02:17:25.783 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's really surprising that a cut purse hasn't managed to neck that from us yet. 02:17:26.388 --> 02:17:29.113 [Lacer (Kai)]: Did you say that? 02:17:29.133 --> 02:17:29.774 [Lacer (Kai)]: These are elves. 02:17:29.934 --> 02:17:32.278 [Lacer (Kai)]: They're meant to be honourable. 02:17:32.619 --> 02:17:34.602 [Lacer (Kai)]: Mate, that's crap underneath my clothing. 02:17:35.644 --> 02:17:38.549 [Riv (DM)]: There were a couple of shifty looking mushroom men looking your way before. 02:17:38.569 --> 02:17:42.896 [Vael (Berberis)]: I bet they can see right through that bag of holes. 02:17:43.377 --> 02:17:45.460 [Vael (Berberis)]: What uses does the Fey Realm have for gold? 02:17:46.582 --> 02:17:47.724 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's not just gold. 02:17:47.784 --> 02:17:52.412 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: They'll be looking at those necklaces made of goblin ears and... 02:17:53.455 --> 02:17:56.768 [JC (Ryo)]: We handed those in years ago. 02:17:56.788 --> 02:18:00.222 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: No, they're in the bag of holding, aren't they? 02:18:00.302 --> 02:18:02.993 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: No, we had to hand them in to get paid. 02:18:05.015 --> 02:18:27.765 [Riv (DM)]: All right anyway um so there's gonna be a few hours maybe three or four five hours until the moon rises which is when um your meeting is set for so you have some time to explore the city um there's a number of options i think um honestly Ayana probably just wants to go and check out a few places herself so she's just wandering around checking things out and 02:18:27.745 --> 02:18:34.378 [Riv (DM)]: Anything you guys want to ask as well, if there's any follow-up questions you have about what you've learned so far, she's happy to chat. 02:18:35.200 --> 02:18:44.659 [Riv (DM)]: In particular Rio, if there's anything you wanted to ask about what she knew your parents or what she thinks might have happened to them, we can go on to that. 02:18:46.783 --> 02:18:49.348 [Riv (DM)]: Or, yeah, what do you reckon? 02:18:54.037 --> 02:18:54.538 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise? 02:18:54.558 --> 02:18:57.422 [JC (Ryo)]: I guess I'd go with her to the tavern to talk to her. 02:18:57.982 --> 02:18:58.563 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, cool. 02:18:58.583 --> 02:18:59.384 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, we can do that then. 02:18:59.965 --> 02:19:09.659 [Riv (DM)]: Otherwise, as she's sort of leading you through, I think she probably takes you down to look at the central citadel just so you can kind of see it from a distance. 02:19:10.019 --> 02:19:13.564 [Riv (DM)]: She points it out to you and just kind of leaves it in the open like... 02:19:14.354 --> 02:19:17.860 [Riv (DM)]: It's kind of your home now, technically speaking. 02:19:19.163 --> 02:19:31.485 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, and she points out, so it's perched on the Heartstone, which is the spire of white stone, naturally looking, sort of natural form, formation, with the Royal Citadel built up on top of it, on the pinnacle of it. 02:19:32.798 --> 02:19:49.282 [Riv (DM)]: And so as you kind of came down to the central part of the city she points out that you left one of the cantons and arrived at the Heartstone Commons where it's this big wide civic area around the base of the Citadel's Pinnacle itself. 02:19:49.462 --> 02:19:54.469 [Riv (DM)]: There are lots of ancient trees here and fountains, there are big open plazas. 02:19:54.449 --> 02:19:58.475 [Riv (DM)]: It's open to the commons, there's no governing body here. 02:19:58.515 --> 02:20:10.554 [Riv (DM)]: She's kind of pointing out, she kind of gestures to the different parts of the city and highlights the different sections, the different circles and who governs which part. 02:20:10.834 --> 02:20:14.400 [Riv (DM)]: And you start to build up this picture in your mind of where all the different circles are. 02:20:14.900 --> 02:20:18.606 [Riv (DM)]: So I sketched that for you so you can have a bit of a look because lots of names and confusing. 02:20:18.746 --> 02:20:22.532 [Riv (DM)]: So this is roughly what it looks like. 02:20:22.512 --> 02:20:26.661 [Riv (DM)]: In terms of the sections, feel free to have a little read. 02:20:27.843 --> 02:20:31.992 [Riv (DM)]: So obviously the Circle of the Weave, they are about the magic. 02:20:32.012 --> 02:20:35.019 [Riv (DM)]: I'll just sort of rattle down the bladers, military and defense of course. 02:20:35.119 --> 02:20:37.905 [Riv (DM)]: You've got healing and medicine, the dawn. 02:20:37.885 --> 02:20:41.872 [Riv (DM)]: The scales are the law and diplomacy, dispute resolution. 02:20:42.413 --> 02:20:45.759 [Riv (DM)]: The loom is all about architecture and construction, infrastructure. 02:20:47.162 --> 02:20:51.570 [Riv (DM)]: The root, they are stewardship of the nature, the druids, the agriculture. 02:20:51.971 --> 02:20:53.794 [Riv (DM)]: And the scroll is the law. 02:20:54.756 --> 02:20:59.544 [Riv (DM)]: Sorry, no, the scroll is the history, the archives, the prophecy. 02:21:01.207 --> 02:21:01.648 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:21:03.164 --> 02:21:15.006 [Riv (DM)]: So you guys came down here through the Luminary, which is the Luminary Canton, Circle of the Dawn, passed through the Judicants Canton and over to Ironsward. 02:21:15.607 --> 02:21:22.219 [Riv (DM)]: And then you see the Ironsward is built up on these massive terraces at the far northern end of the 02:21:23.768 --> 02:21:46.536 [Riv (DM)]: Uh of the uh of the valley here the caldera you can see there's just a sheer rock face um and the waterfall is breaching through it itself and sort of carving down this groove in the middle of the rock face and the nemorium the nemorium canton is built into the rock face itself you can see structures jutting out of it there are like steps that are built into it and sort of winds around um yeah 02:21:49.182 --> 02:21:53.767 [Riv (DM)]: She points out some of the buildings, so she points to a couple of the floating buildings. 02:21:55.810 --> 02:21:59.093 [Riv (DM)]: There are a few at the moment sort of currently flying in the sky. 02:22:01.636 --> 02:22:07.583 [Riv (DM)]: They would be, I think the main ones you see would be that big crystal sphere that you saw, the Locus Arcanum, she points out. 02:22:08.064 --> 02:22:13.570 [Riv (DM)]: This is the capital building of the Circle of the Weave. 02:22:14.056 --> 02:22:18.064 [Riv (DM)]: There is the Luminarium, the Circle of the Dawn. 02:22:18.124 --> 02:22:23.175 [Riv (DM)]: It's a glass and copper large conservatory-like building with a big domed roof. 02:22:24.577 --> 02:22:27.884 [Riv (DM)]: Capital building of the Luminary, the central location of healing. 02:22:28.806 --> 02:22:32.574 [Riv (DM)]: And that squat angular fortress that you saw floating on a chunk of rock as well. 02:22:33.135 --> 02:22:35.119 [Riv (DM)]: You can see there it's got like 02:22:35.285 --> 02:22:37.749 [Riv (DM)]: Archery slits that are glowing slightly red. 02:22:38.410 --> 02:22:42.256 [Riv (DM)]: This is the Palisade Eternal, the capital of the Circle of the Blades. 02:22:42.837 --> 02:22:47.625 [Riv (DM)]: And I think there might be also one other building floating as well, there are a few at this point. 02:22:47.965 --> 02:22:54.295 [Riv (DM)]: A large tall tower, deep indigo stone, it almost seems to like absorb light rather than reflect it. 02:22:55.177 --> 02:23:02.288 [Riv (DM)]: Tall stone, quite symmetrical looking tower, big large crystal lens on the top that's just sort of rotating, spinning around. 02:23:02.268 --> 02:23:08.843 [Riv (DM)]: It points out that this is the oraculum, the capital building of the Circle of the Scrolls. 02:23:10.226 --> 02:23:19.947 [Riv (DM)]: And this, you can see there's like a massive big groove in the far cliff face where you can imagine it goes and docks into and just slots nicely into spot. 02:23:21.571 --> 02:23:22.032 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:23:22.906 --> 02:23:43.969 [Riv (DM)]: As you're sort of traveling around at one point you notice that the Locus Arcanum starts to float over and head back towards the Aetherian Canton, seemingly like it's looking like it's going to dock again perhaps, and maybe at one point another one, another building you see start to rise, the whole city almost shakes a little bit as one of these takes off. 02:23:43.949 --> 02:23:53.419 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah, the Justicium pops up out of the Judican's Canton and starts to rise into the air as well. 02:23:55.171 --> 02:23:58.617 [Riv (DM)]: In terms of shopping and stuff that you want to do, what would you guys like to go and look at? 02:23:59.117 --> 02:24:07.191 [Riv (DM)]: I think Ayana will eventually lead you through to a place called the Fading Stars Tavern, but are there any provisions you want to stock up on? 02:24:08.012 --> 02:24:19.791 [Riv (DM)]: You could stop somewhere in one of the markets in the Heartstone Commons, or you could go and see a local expert craftsman, you could go and see a history store, a magic store. 02:24:20.632 --> 02:24:21.634 [Riv (DM)]: What are you feeling? 02:24:23.403 --> 02:24:26.489 [Vael (Berberis)]: We want to buy power because we play D&D. 02:24:27.390 --> 02:24:29.234 [Riv (DM)]: Should we head over to the blacksmith? 02:24:31.157 --> 02:24:31.538 [Riv (DM)]: Sure. 02:24:31.558 --> 02:24:32.099 [Riv (DM)]: Ironweave. 02:24:32.179 --> 02:24:33.141 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:24:34.543 --> 02:24:34.804 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:24:35.525 --> 02:24:43.960 [Riv (DM)]: So as you start heading there, Ayana lets you know that this, she knows the guy here, Ferethis, old friend of hers. 02:24:44.125 --> 02:25:00.447 [Riv (DM)]: He is a specialty for working with fey wild metals and so she says that you might want to be actually have a bit of a look at some of these because some of the weapons that he can craft here have special fey effects. 02:25:00.882 --> 02:25:02.945 [Riv (DM)]: Potentially unpredictable, but potentially interesting. 02:25:05.769 --> 02:25:10.736 [Riv (DM)]: So this is in the Fundament Canton, over in the Circle of the Loom on the far side. 02:25:10.776 --> 02:25:20.030 [Riv (DM)]: The big waterfall crashing down nearby, there's a carving down through the Canton itself of the river that comes from the base of the waterfall. 02:25:20.871 --> 02:25:30.805 [Riv (DM)]: You follow a neat little road up the side of it, branch in, and you find a sensible, modest sort of a store that's just built up as the 02:25:30.785 --> 02:25:54.767 [Riv (DM)]: Um as the the mountain sort of starts to rise up towards this this cliff face um made of really nice white stone as the rest of the buildings are um you hear the sound of metal being worked clanging away and you pop inside you can see there's a quiet lean elf who's just currently at the back of the store working on folding some metals at the moment that are glowing white hot um 02:25:56.063 --> 02:26:13.296 [Riv (DM)]: I think we, if you feel like it, we can sort of skip some of the conversation if you like, unless there's anything specific you want to ask him, but I think he initially starts kind of... 02:26:13.833 --> 02:26:42.591 [Riv (DM)]: A little bit suspicious as you all appear to be new people that he hasn't seen before but as you have got seeming nothing particularly surprising because yeah as far as he's concerned you just look like a group of elves and Ayana stays to the back just kind of doesn't say anything just sort of watches and there are a bunch of really nice looking weapons here anything basically you can imagine except all of they're all made from different types of metals so there's like a kind of faintly luminescent iron um 02:26:42.925 --> 02:27:03.178 [Riv (DM)]: Slightly warm to the touch and you can see this like wooden metal hybrid sort of construction for certain things you can see silvery gray sort of metal that's quite cold to touch it's kind of glowing sort of moonlight um yeah what do you reckon any sort of weapons you might you might be interested in buying 02:27:06.584 --> 02:27:13.593 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to ask Ayana, what do we use as currency around here? 02:27:14.236 --> 02:27:16.746 [Lacer (Kai)]: But this is like while we're walking up. 02:27:17.620 --> 02:27:21.423 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, valuables are mostly what people trade. 02:27:22.444 --> 02:27:27.649 [Riv (DM)]: They tend to lean on a bartering society, so if you have valuables they will look to trade them. 02:27:27.689 --> 02:27:37.718 [Riv (DM)]: But, they do accept gold because, as you know, the people here, we were from their material plane not long ago. 02:27:38.759 --> 02:27:45.325 [Riv (DM)]: We have a, well at least we used to have a fairly frequent journey back and forth between the material and the fae realm. 02:27:46.126 --> 02:27:47.627 [Riv (DM)]: So they will take gold as well. 02:27:47.607 --> 02:27:58.658 [Lacer (Kai)]: So is gold common or is it more valuable here since the elves haven't been back to the material plane in some time? 02:28:00.400 --> 02:28:03.322 [Riv (DM)]: I mean it's kind of about as common as you'd expect to be honest. 02:28:04.263 --> 02:28:07.687 [Riv (DM)]: It's used in most places for trade. 02:28:11.651 --> 02:28:11.971 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 02:28:12.171 --> 02:28:13.092 [Lacer (Kai)]: At least we're not poor. 02:28:17.273 --> 02:28:20.158 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can I buy a circlet? 02:28:23.423 --> 02:28:27.789 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, like for... to wear around the head, you mean? 02:28:28.611 --> 02:28:29.452 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, around the heads. 02:28:31.736 --> 02:28:36.623 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: To cover my... my jewel. 02:28:37.204 --> 02:28:37.404 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:28:38.025 --> 02:28:38.947 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: My wizard jewel. 02:28:39.127 --> 02:28:40.850 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, your rune, your runesar. 02:28:41.471 --> 02:28:42.252 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: My runesar. 02:28:42.434 --> 02:29:10.602 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah um yeah I think he probably so first of all um he wouldn't have anything on hand because he kind of specializes more in weapons and armor but he could definitely craft one for you so it might take a day or so you would have to measure your head and currently you look like a elf with a lean that's awkward yeah so what do you what do you reckon would you want to 02:29:11.223 --> 02:29:12.865 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Would he be shocked at a magic trick? 02:29:14.327 --> 02:29:17.150 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That the lady herself... 02:29:17.170 --> 02:29:18.131 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know, you have to say this. 02:29:18.191 --> 02:29:19.713 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, yeah sure, let's try. 02:29:20.414 --> 02:29:21.876 [Riv (DM)]: So you ask Ayana to drop it? 02:29:23.117 --> 02:29:23.357 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:29:24.479 --> 02:29:26.121 [Riv (DM)]: She's just like, you sure Donda? 02:29:29.184 --> 02:29:30.045 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you think it's safe? 02:29:32.108 --> 02:29:34.471 [Lacer (Kai)]: Question is, can you cast Seeming again? 02:29:35.632 --> 02:29:40.538 [Riv (DM)]: Do you have a cloak or a robe that you could wear to chuck the hood up after we leave the store? 02:29:41.817 --> 02:29:45.262 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I do, but I'm sick of being tall. 02:29:45.282 --> 02:29:45.643 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright. 02:29:46.064 --> 02:29:48.087 [Vael (Berberis)]: He does have a cloak, but you should not wear that cloak. 02:29:50.470 --> 02:29:51.492 [Lacer (Kai)]: You definitely should wear that cloak. 02:29:51.512 --> 02:29:53.855 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's true, he's got that black one. 02:29:53.916 --> 02:29:58.242 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's a lovely cloak. 02:29:58.262 --> 02:29:58.463 [Lacer (Kai)]: It is. 02:29:58.483 --> 02:30:00.345 [Lacer (Kai)]: Maybe you need to buy another one. 02:30:00.846 --> 02:30:03.751 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Makes my arse look big. 02:30:03.771 --> 02:30:04.832 [Riv (DM)]: I thought it was rather slimming. 02:30:05.694 --> 02:30:09.900 [Riv (DM)]: She just waves her hand and is able to cancel the Seeming spell on just Yudonda. 02:30:09.982 --> 02:30:19.512 [Riv (DM)]: And so you appear, um, and, you know, I think you've given the guy a bit of warning so he's not super shocked, but he, you know, eyes go wide and... 02:30:19.572 --> 02:30:22.075 [Lacer (Kai)]: I say it's a, it's a fey trick, it's a fey trick. 02:30:23.136 --> 02:30:23.677 [Riv (DM)]: Right. 02:30:23.697 --> 02:30:25.058 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's not, he's not really a dwarf. 02:30:26.640 --> 02:30:34.268 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Where once was a tall, handsome, fair elf, there is now a stout, bald, bearded dwarf. 02:30:35.682 --> 02:31:03.816 [Riv (DM)]: All right well bring that stout board bearded dwarf head over here and let me give it a little measurement and he pulls out some twine and some um little bits of charcoal to take down some measurements on a bit of parchment wraps it around your head takes a few easements and he's like all right um yeah i should be able to make something so you're just looking for something to cover up this here runesar i imagine yeah uh cover up yes but also look uh elegant 02:31:04.808 --> 02:31:07.632 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Elegant, but fairly plain. 02:31:08.173 --> 02:31:11.498 [Riv (DM)]: You want it to look like sort of an embellished crown or anything like that on the down low? 02:31:13.701 --> 02:31:14.682 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Maybe not a crown. 02:31:15.644 --> 02:31:21.152 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I'm not sure how a circlet could not look like a crown, but... No points. 02:31:21.813 --> 02:31:22.674 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just a fancy headband. 02:31:23.315 --> 02:31:24.657 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah, fancy headband. 02:31:24.738 --> 02:31:29.602 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, how about we have it strapped in with some nice leather. 02:31:29.983 --> 02:31:37.129 [Riv (DM)]: I could even get a little bit of the hotwood bound construction to give it a little bit of a flair. 02:31:38.030 --> 02:31:40.613 [Riv (DM)]: It ends up being more of a headband than a circlet. 02:31:41.573 --> 02:31:43.595 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like a tiara, I whisper to Ferethis. 02:31:43.856 --> 02:31:44.576 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like a tiara. 02:31:47.079 --> 02:31:49.401 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think the tiara would quite suit our friend here. 02:31:51.443 --> 02:31:51.943 [Riv (DM)]: We know that. 02:31:52.666 --> 02:31:54.589 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Something to compliment my bald head. 02:31:55.951 --> 02:31:56.231 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:31:59.736 --> 02:32:00.017 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:32:00.317 --> 02:32:01.259 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't you come back tomorrow? 02:32:01.820 --> 02:32:04.644 [Riv (DM)]: I've got a few ideas actually of what I could do here. 02:32:07.949 --> 02:32:14.358 [Riv (DM)]: I'll let you guys know, I don't create magical weapons, but the fey metal that we have has interesting properties. 02:32:15.179 --> 02:32:17.042 [Riv (DM)]: And I can't always predict what it's going to do. 02:32:17.723 --> 02:32:19.686 [Riv (DM)]: Sometimes it might... 02:32:20.712 --> 02:32:28.141 [Riv (DM)]: Be simply hardier and stronger than any sort of steel that you could possibly imagine or sometimes something else entirely. 02:32:28.181 --> 02:32:31.485 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe it will glow or maybe it will float with a command. 02:32:31.986 --> 02:32:32.386 [Riv (DM)]: Unsure. 02:32:32.426 --> 02:32:38.434 [Riv (DM)]: It's always a surprise and it's always different with every user so I guess we shall see when you return. 02:32:41.057 --> 02:32:41.898 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's really cool. 02:32:43.520 --> 02:32:47.665 [Lacer (Kai)]: Could you be able to make me some sort of 02:32:48.083 --> 02:32:52.907 [Lacer (Kai)]: Metallic, thin metallic mask with maybe some antlers. 02:32:55.870 --> 02:32:57.912 [Riv (DM)]: Ooh, that sounds a bit more tricky. 02:32:57.952 --> 02:32:59.293 [Riv (DM)]: You want a full face mask? 02:32:59.813 --> 02:33:01.635 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, just half face, up to my nose. 02:33:02.536 --> 02:33:04.858 [Lacer (Kai)]: Resembling, like, something like a deer. 02:33:06.800 --> 02:33:09.942 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, just to, like, cover the lower half of your jaw and the mouth? 02:33:10.063 --> 02:33:11.844 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, the upper half of my face. 02:33:13.305 --> 02:33:14.046 [Lacer (Kai)]: Revealing my jaw. 02:33:15.267 --> 02:33:16.268 [Riv (DM)]: Okay, um... 02:33:17.902 --> 02:33:19.404 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, a little bit more tricky, let's see. 02:33:20.545 --> 02:33:21.446 [Riv (DM)]: Goes to take measurements of you. 02:33:21.727 --> 02:33:23.289 [Riv (DM)]: I assume this isn't what you look like either? 02:33:25.572 --> 02:33:26.232 [Lacer (Kai)]: Uh, not quite. 02:33:27.574 --> 02:33:28.135 [Lacer (Kai)]: Close enough. 02:33:30.157 --> 02:33:37.767 [Riv (DM)]: He looks over at the woman standing at the back who apparently could control the illusion and cocks an eyebrow, and Ayana just looks at you. 02:33:42.522 --> 02:33:44.364 [Lacer (Kai)]: Our proportions are roughly the same. 02:33:45.005 --> 02:33:47.267 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's just a mask. 02:33:47.287 --> 02:33:47.567 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:33:48.428 --> 02:33:55.216 [Riv (DM)]: He reaches forward and starts touching and like, you know, clearly the face doesn't quite match what he's touching. 02:33:55.476 --> 02:33:56.697 [Riv (DM)]: It's not like perfectly one-to-one. 02:33:56.717 --> 02:34:04.065 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably a little bit weird for him to be touching a face that his fingers like slide into it a little bit, but does his best. 02:34:04.265 --> 02:34:07.669 [Riv (DM)]: Takes a few measurements and says, all right, gosh, I'm going to be busy. 02:34:08.712 --> 02:34:14.040 [Riv (DM)]: Tomorrow, this one's probably going to be a bit more pricey than the headband, but I think I should be able to make something good. 02:34:16.823 --> 02:34:17.765 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, sounds good. 02:34:19.728 --> 02:34:19.888 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:34:21.570 --> 02:34:22.351 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, anyone else? 02:34:24.474 --> 02:34:27.318 [JC (Ryo)]: So, any bows or swords or shields on the wall? 02:34:29.261 --> 02:34:30.463 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm, there are a couple of swords. 02:34:31.064 --> 02:34:37.673 [Riv (DM)]: Bows aren't my thing unfortunately, but if you've got a new sword that you're looking to replace, or shields, I can certainly do that. 02:34:40.252 --> 02:34:41.414 [JC (Ryo)]: Tell me what you got in shields. 02:34:43.217 --> 02:34:43.497 [Riv (DM)]: Plenty. 02:34:43.577 --> 02:34:48.185 [Riv (DM)]: There's a couple of like excellently crafted wood and metal hybrid construction. 02:34:48.205 --> 02:34:53.374 [Riv (DM)]: It says this one is made of heartbound wood with an inlay of moon-quenched steel. 02:34:54.475 --> 02:34:57.601 [Riv (DM)]: You pick it up and it's sort of lighter than it looks somehow. 02:34:58.061 --> 02:34:59.444 [Riv (DM)]: Feels nice and sturdy and hard though. 02:35:00.045 --> 02:35:02.108 [Riv (DM)]: There's a bunch that look kind of similar with different designs. 02:35:06.796 --> 02:35:12.545 [Vael (Berberis)]: So they have interesting effects, is there any of these got interesting effects? 02:35:13.827 --> 02:35:14.849 [Riv (DM)]: How did your dice roll? 02:35:14.989 --> 02:35:17.373 [Riv (DM)]: They all have interesting effects and very unpredictable. 02:35:17.994 --> 02:35:24.524 [Riv (DM)]: It's probably got dice roll. 02:35:24.544 --> 02:35:25.846 [Vael (Berberis)]: We don't get to know before we buy it. 02:35:26.788 --> 02:35:27.609 [Riv (DM)]: Huh? 02:35:27.749 --> 02:35:31.335 [Riv (DM)]: I don't decide, the Fae decides on its own when the user bonds with it. 02:35:36.158 --> 02:35:39.983 [JC (Ryo)]: This one, does this glow at night, or? 02:35:41.685 --> 02:35:41.986 [JC (Ryo)]: The shield? 02:35:42.006 --> 02:35:42.787 [JC (Ryo)]: Does it glow in the dark? 02:35:44.008 --> 02:35:44.549 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want it to? 02:35:44.569 --> 02:35:45.430 [JC (Ryo)]: You said it's moon-touched. 02:35:46.712 --> 02:35:52.720 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it potentially, it will, if that's what it decides to do, it maybe will glow in the dark. 02:35:55.063 --> 02:35:59.308 [JC (Ryo)]: Ah, so you have absolutely no idea, okay, okay. 02:35:59.328 --> 02:36:00.630 [JC (Ryo)]: How much are you charging for these shields? 02:36:02.686 --> 02:36:07.011 [Riv (DM)]: Well, what sort of, what sort of, uh, what do you have to trade? 02:36:07.031 --> 02:36:14.318 [Vael (Berberis)]: I personally don't have much because I am a new character and I have not collected things. 02:36:15.259 --> 02:36:19.604 [Vael (Berberis)]: But, um, material gold is always a possibility. 02:36:21.846 --> 02:36:22.567 [Riv (DM)]: We can do gold. 02:36:25.230 --> 02:36:26.852 [Riv (DM)]: So you're both looking to buy a shield perhaps? 02:36:29.194 --> 02:36:29.875 [Lacer (Kai)]: Perhaps. 02:36:31.880 --> 02:36:32.601 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or a sword? 02:36:32.641 --> 02:36:35.664 [Lacer (Kai)]: You seem to like your swords, Ryo. 02:36:39.667 --> 02:36:40.948 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I don't mind the sword. 02:36:40.988 --> 02:36:43.271 [JC (Ryo)]: You know what I prefer. 02:36:43.291 --> 02:36:44.852 [Lacer (Kai)]: I know. 02:36:45.032 --> 02:36:48.155 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look at your back, you've got this majestic longbow. 02:36:48.175 --> 02:36:50.077 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm assuming the bow's not even there at the moment. 02:36:50.137 --> 02:36:51.779 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't know what Ayana's done. 02:36:52.179 --> 02:36:52.799 [JC (Ryo)]: Where have you put it? 02:36:54.121 --> 02:36:58.765 [JC (Ryo)]: She can hide- the spell can hide all your weapons and make other things- Oh, right. 02:37:03.706 --> 02:37:05.989 [JC (Ryo)]: We could have no weapons visible at all at the moment. 02:37:06.009 --> 02:37:06.570 [JC (Ryo)]: We haven't asked. 02:37:08.933 --> 02:37:10.495 [Vael (Berberis)]: I imagine it's not complicated. 02:37:10.675 --> 02:37:13.960 [Vael (Berberis)]: We'd look like ourselves, but... 02:37:14.080 --> 02:37:19.227 [Riv (DM)]: I think as part of the illusion she stripped you of all your weapons because she wanted you to look like you just sort of fit in. 02:37:20.268 --> 02:37:20.448 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yep. 02:37:21.770 --> 02:37:26.136 [Lacer (Kai)]: We'd look kind of odd if we were armed around the city. 02:37:31.094 --> 02:37:33.838 [JC (Ryo)]: Let's say we're trading in gold. 02:37:33.898 --> 02:37:35.721 [JC (Ryo)]: What would one of these shields set me back? 02:37:37.643 --> 02:37:39.386 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, these are delightful shields. 02:37:39.486 --> 02:37:42.190 [Riv (DM)]: I'd probably part with it for a thousand each. 02:37:50.482 --> 02:37:51.463 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's a bit steep. 02:37:51.864 --> 02:37:54.468 [Vael (Berberis)]: What about, especially when we don't know what they're going to do. 02:37:57.432 --> 02:37:58.293 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm not a fan of gambling. 02:37:58.954 --> 02:38:00.156 [Vael (Berberis)]: Here's an alternative option. 02:38:01.739 --> 02:38:06.566 [Vael (Berberis)]: And I'll reach into the bag of holding and I'll pull out a set of normal plate armor. 02:38:08.409 --> 02:38:10.552 [Vael (Berberis)]: When was the last time you dealt with material metal? 02:38:12.314 --> 02:38:13.776 [Vael (Berberis)]: Bring that puppy over here. 02:38:13.816 --> 02:38:21.267 [Vael (Berberis)]: Not as exciting, but sometimes the simplicity of reality has its benefits. 02:38:21.652 --> 02:38:27.882 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, this is ugly, but kind of beautiful in its simplistic way, don't you think? 02:38:28.683 --> 02:38:30.526 [Riv (DM)]: Gosh, it's very practical as well, isn't it? 02:38:30.546 --> 02:38:33.370 [Riv (DM)]: This human make by the looks, was this crafted for you? 02:38:33.390 --> 02:38:38.959 [Vael (Berberis)]: Um, no, but it's something we've picked up a long time. 02:38:41.242 --> 02:38:43.986 [Riv (DM)]: Fascinating actually, it could be a bit of an interesting puzzle. 02:38:46.049 --> 02:38:49.735 [Riv (DM)]: I could probably see if I could work some fey into it, maybe, that would be interesting. 02:38:50.693 --> 02:38:59.825 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, so what do you say you chuck another 500 gold on top and we part with this plate? 02:38:59.845 --> 02:39:02.028 [Vael (Berberis)]: I have a plate and I reach in and I pull out a breastplate. 02:39:03.990 --> 02:39:07.815 [Riv (DM)]: Honestly, I thought before you were going to say you were going to pull out the evil monster. 02:39:07.855 --> 02:39:10.078 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, I wasn't going to pull out Dread's Hunger, I'm not that insane. 02:39:11.240 --> 02:39:11.941 [Lacer (Kai)]: Dread's Hunger. 02:39:12.001 --> 02:39:13.503 [JC (Ryo)]: Holy shit. 02:39:13.523 --> 02:39:15.305 [JC (Ryo)]: No, no, the one of those, where'd it go? 02:39:15.325 --> 02:39:17.708 [JC (Ryo)]: There was an item at the bottom of this thing, it's not there at the moment. 02:39:17.728 --> 02:39:19.431 [JC (Ryo)]: No, we used it. 02:39:19.451 --> 02:39:20.532 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, we used that, did we? 02:39:20.748 --> 02:39:21.669 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 02:39:21.789 --> 02:39:22.590 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are you talking about the head? 02:39:22.911 --> 02:39:23.011 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yes. 02:39:23.031 --> 02:39:25.774 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I used that up. 02:39:25.974 --> 02:39:26.895 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's why I deleted it. 02:39:27.696 --> 02:39:28.858 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 02:39:30.580 --> 02:39:30.740 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:39:30.760 --> 02:39:32.562 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see, how much are Breastplates? 02:39:33.624 --> 02:39:35.025 [Riv (DM)]: Breastplate's like 50 gold or something, eh? 02:39:36.908 --> 02:39:38.630 [Vael (Berberis)]: They're by, they're like 400, I think. 02:39:39.110 --> 02:39:40.672 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, it says 400 in the... 02:39:41.533 --> 02:39:42.535 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's random. 02:39:42.555 --> 02:39:44.477 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, sorry, I was thinking chain. 02:39:45.258 --> 02:39:47.941 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Basically a third of the plate in value. 02:39:48.121 --> 02:39:48.662 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 02:39:49.655 --> 02:39:51.999 [Riv (DM)]: Roll a persuasion check with advantage. 02:39:53.021 --> 02:39:54.564 [Vael (Berberis)]: Good solid real metal. 02:39:54.604 --> 02:39:57.089 [Vael (Berberis)]: How often do you see good solid real metal? 02:39:57.710 --> 02:39:58.952 [Vael (Berberis)]: From the material plane. 02:40:00.435 --> 02:40:00.775 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:40:02.478 --> 02:40:04.963 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I think, I mean, plate and breastplate. 02:40:08.217 --> 02:40:09.779 [Riv (DM)]: Probably, probably kind of fascinating. 02:40:09.819 --> 02:40:14.726 [Riv (DM)]: I think he's, part of this is that he's quite interested in seeing what he can do with it. 02:40:14.746 --> 02:40:15.347 [Riv (DM)]: That was the idea. 02:40:15.367 --> 02:40:16.208 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:40:16.228 --> 02:40:19.512 [Riv (DM)]: Mixing in some of the fey metal with the material. 02:40:21.234 --> 02:40:21.395 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:40:21.655 --> 02:40:21.915 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:40:21.935 --> 02:40:23.057 [Riv (DM)]: I think he's happy to make the trade. 02:40:23.117 --> 02:40:27.162 [Riv (DM)]: So you can both, you are both after a shield each, right? 02:40:27.503 --> 02:40:27.743 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep. 02:40:27.783 --> 02:40:28.985 [JC (Ryo)]: All right. 02:40:29.926 --> 02:40:31.188 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm contemplating a shield, yeah. 02:40:32.670 --> 02:40:32.790 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 02:40:34.188 --> 02:40:38.358 [Riv (DM)]: Well, so the plate and the breastplate is enough for two shields. 02:40:43.149 --> 02:40:45.013 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are these two shields different? 02:40:45.033 --> 02:40:46.136 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like they got made it different? 02:40:46.156 --> 02:40:48.782 [Lacer (Kai)]: They'll be dice roll when we grab them. 02:40:48.962 --> 02:40:50.065 [Lacer (Kai)]: Ah, when you attune to them. 02:40:51.228 --> 02:40:52.230 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, something like that. 02:40:54.522 --> 02:40:56.084 [Riv (DM)]: Ryo, is that all good with you as well? 02:40:56.104 --> 02:40:56.565 [Riv (DM)]: You want a shield? 02:40:56.685 --> 02:40:57.806 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, that's all good for me. 02:40:57.846 --> 02:41:03.273 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll reach to where my shield should be and go to pick it up if I'm able to grab it. 02:41:03.394 --> 02:41:05.196 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm assuming it's there, it just can't be seen. 02:41:05.456 --> 02:41:06.197 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, exactly. 02:41:07.819 --> 02:41:11.144 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll put my old shield on the table and go, I'll throw this one in for you as well. 02:41:11.925 --> 02:41:13.327 [JC (Ryo)]: See if you can work something into this one. 02:41:13.988 --> 02:41:14.949 [JC (Ryo)]: Sorry it's a bit banged up. 02:41:15.890 --> 02:41:17.272 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, he kind of holds it up at arm's length. 02:41:17.772 --> 02:41:20.496 [Riv (DM)]: Looks very used. 02:41:21.235 --> 02:41:23.018 [JC (Ryo)]: Must have an interesting line of work, your life. 02:41:23.599 --> 02:41:24.942 [JC (Ryo)]: It has saved me many a time. 02:41:25.643 --> 02:41:27.226 [Riv (DM)]: Well, that makes it all the more valuable, doesn't it? 02:41:27.266 --> 02:41:28.108 [Riv (DM)]: You sure you want to part with it? 02:41:30.673 --> 02:41:32.677 [JC (Ryo)]: Oh, yeah, why not? 02:41:33.679 --> 02:41:37.786 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, it's probably still got like six arrows sticking out from outside of the Citadel. 02:41:37.987 --> 02:41:39.129 [JC (Ryo)]: Like bolts and stuff, yeah. 02:41:40.772 --> 02:41:41.353 [Riv (DM)]: Character. 02:41:41.907 --> 02:41:45.892 [Riv (DM)]: You can each take a shield and I will leave it up to you guys to decide what they look like. 02:41:45.912 --> 02:41:53.102 [Riv (DM)]: I imagine he's probably got a few dozen or so just up against the wall, different shapes and sizes, so feel free to imagine what it looks like yourselves. 02:41:53.743 --> 02:41:55.405 [Riv (DM)]: One goes gnarly and woody. 02:41:55.425 --> 02:41:55.725 [Riv (DM)]: What's that? 02:41:56.586 --> 02:41:57.628 [Riv (DM)]: One goes gnarly and woody. 02:41:58.188 --> 02:41:59.530 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, well, I mean, it's cool. 02:41:59.550 --> 02:42:00.191 [Riv (DM)]: It's true. 02:42:00.211 --> 02:42:00.892 [Riv (DM)]: That works. 02:42:01.112 --> 02:42:04.036 [Riv (DM)]: It's made of heartbound wood, or heartwood bound rather. 02:42:05.178 --> 02:42:07.260 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll go with the moonlit one that you were describing. 02:42:07.681 --> 02:42:09.103 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 02:42:09.123 --> 02:42:10.024 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:42:10.324 --> 02:42:11.526 [Riv (DM)]: All right, so... 02:42:13.210 --> 02:42:16.034 [JC (Ryo)]: Do you want us to drag anything specific on or you'll add something later? 02:42:16.154 --> 02:42:17.576 [Riv (DM)]: I'll have to make it for you. 02:42:18.017 --> 02:42:21.662 [Riv (DM)]: I don't have items for you yet because you're going to need to roll and I haven't made one for everyone. 02:42:21.862 --> 02:42:24.446 [Riv (DM)]: Let me just double check. 02:42:25.567 --> 02:42:29.813 [Vael (Berberis)]: And we have just gifted an Elven Blacksmith in the Fae with true iron. 02:42:30.674 --> 02:42:32.657 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:42:32.677 --> 02:42:38.565 [Vael (Berberis)]: Not that we know if iron does anything special to Fae, but... Is, um, a breastplate's iron? 02:42:39.246 --> 02:42:39.707 [Riv (DM)]: A steel? 02:42:40.801 --> 02:42:43.203 [Lacer (Kai)]: Steel is iron still. 02:42:43.343 --> 02:42:44.364 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's like alloy. 02:42:44.664 --> 02:42:45.825 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's an alloy of iron. 02:42:46.226 --> 02:42:48.407 [Vael (Berberis)]: Steel is just iron with a good carbon ratio. 02:42:48.688 --> 02:42:50.649 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, carbon. 02:42:50.669 --> 02:42:51.550 [Vael (Berberis)]: To make it stronger. 02:42:54.553 --> 02:42:58.116 [Vael (Berberis)]: If you're getting into stainless then you're adding other stuff to it, but it is typically just iron and carbon. 02:42:58.696 --> 02:42:58.956 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah. 02:42:58.976 --> 02:42:59.957 [Vael (Berberis)]: As opposed to pig iron. 02:43:01.679 --> 02:43:02.259 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:43:02.880 --> 02:43:05.862 [Riv (DM)]: So, I want one of you to roll a d6. 02:43:06.182 --> 02:43:07.163 [Riv (DM)]: I shall roll. 02:43:07.183 --> 02:43:10.386 [Riv (DM)]: The roll is a d6 and whoever wants to go first, go for it. 02:43:11.648 --> 02:43:19.642 [Riv (DM)]: So I think basically what he says is he encourages you to go out into the back or something and have a bit of a play with it. 02:43:19.882 --> 02:43:21.845 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe you guys have a bit of a sparring session. 02:43:25.832 --> 02:43:26.153 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 02:43:26.553 --> 02:43:26.954 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:43:28.016 --> 02:43:29.398 [Riv (DM)]: So a two. 02:43:31.802 --> 02:43:32.443 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, very nice. 02:43:34.767 --> 02:43:36.390 [Riv (DM)]: So this... 02:43:36.860 --> 02:43:41.045 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want me to explain Burris' one first or do you want to roll your one? 02:43:41.065 --> 02:43:42.027 [Riv (DM)]: Go go go, sorry sorry. 02:43:42.587 --> 02:43:47.694 [Riv (DM)]: So this, as you start to use it, you find it's kind of a bit of a gnarly looking shield. 02:43:49.356 --> 02:43:53.521 [Riv (DM)]: Turns out that it has got root memory within the heartwood here. 02:43:53.561 --> 02:43:59.549 [Riv (DM)]: As you use it you actually notice the shield starts to almost move and grow on its own. 02:43:59.589 --> 02:44:05.837 [Riv (DM)]: The effect of it is that the first time you drop below half HP in combat, the vines are going to 02:44:06.307 --> 02:44:14.596 [Riv (DM)]: Like, burst out of the shield and entrap an attacker, the attacker that has kind of caused it to you. 02:44:15.037 --> 02:44:18.761 [Riv (DM)]: They need to make a DC 13 strength save and they'll be restrained until the end of their turn. 02:44:19.141 --> 02:44:19.562 [Riv (DM)]: They fail. 02:44:19.602 --> 02:44:25.148 [Riv (DM)]: And that just happens, there's no action, no reaction, it just happens. 02:44:26.730 --> 02:44:29.833 [Riv (DM)]: I'll write it up for you and give you an item for it on the next session. 02:44:30.742 --> 02:44:34.188 [Vael (Berberis)]: That is wonderful and thematic, I am a fan. 02:44:35.049 --> 02:44:35.950 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, Ryo, go for it. 02:44:35.990 --> 02:44:36.471 [Riv (DM)]: You roll yours. 02:44:38.314 --> 02:44:39.696 [Riv (DM)]: And you know what? 02:44:39.736 --> 02:44:40.878 [Riv (DM)]: Literally, that was number two on the list. 02:44:41.099 --> 02:44:42.501 [Riv (DM)]: It's quite neat how that happened. 02:44:44.664 --> 02:44:45.085 [Riv (DM)]: Five. 02:44:45.986 --> 02:44:46.587 [JC (Ryo)]: Something different. 02:44:47.309 --> 02:44:47.569 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 02:44:52.477 --> 02:44:55.224 [Riv (DM)]: Let's see. 02:44:55.244 --> 02:44:56.607 [Riv (DM)]: All right, this one's cool. 02:44:58.331 --> 02:45:02.902 [Riv (DM)]: So this one, it appears to have a living memory. 02:45:03.864 --> 02:45:09.979 [Riv (DM)]: So you notice at one point maybe when you're fighting with... 02:45:09.959 --> 02:45:16.888 [Riv (DM)]: With Berberus here, maybe he gets a good smack against your shield with his staff or something and it clatters off your wrists. 02:45:16.968 --> 02:45:23.956 [Riv (DM)]: As soon as it sort of clatters away, it immediately goes and like smashes back into your arm, perfectly slots back into place. 02:45:24.377 --> 02:45:30.324 [Riv (DM)]: It's essentially like Captain America's shield, it will always return back to you if you ever drop it or you get disarmed or you throw it or something like that. 02:45:30.465 --> 02:45:31.566 [Riv (DM)]: It will always return to you. 02:45:34.910 --> 02:45:36.592 [JC (Ryo)]: Cool. 02:45:36.652 --> 02:45:39.696 [JC (Ryo)]: I lost a shield in a separate campaign doing exactly that. 02:45:41.026 --> 02:45:42.428 [JC (Ryo)]: That was a plus one shield too. 02:45:42.588 --> 02:45:44.210 [JC (Ryo)]: Like throwing it at things?

03:03:06.787 --> 03:03:14.257 [Riv (DM)]: Well firstly, just to be clear, it's not so much that the people here are fearful of people from the material realm, it's more about the means of transport. 03:03:14.577 --> 03:03:21.366 [Riv (DM)]: It has been heavily enforced for generations now that can't just plane travel, can't just plane jump willy-nilly. 03:03:22.287 --> 03:03:30.498 [Riv (DM)]: So it's probably more that that people are concerned than anything, and I suppose just it's a shock seeing people they've never seen before for about a century. 03:03:31.860 --> 03:03:35.545 [Riv (DM)]: In terms of me and my group, well... 03:03:36.082 --> 03:03:38.567 [Riv (DM)]: Not sure if I told you precisely what happened with the Emerald Ceremony. 03:03:39.088 --> 03:03:40.130 [Riv (DM)]: It's about 40 years ago. 03:03:40.150 --> 03:03:51.070 [Riv (DM)]: There had been long discussions around whether we should or shouldn't help, what we could do if it was too dangerous. 03:03:53.767 --> 03:04:03.323 [Riv (DM)]: If our fears were to be eventuated, we would be the first place that the Empire would strike. 03:04:03.483 --> 03:04:08.552 [Riv (DM)]: They would look to wipe us out because of our breadth of knowledge and history of the world. 03:04:11.215 --> 03:04:20.890 [Riv (DM)]: And so some people were arguing to not go back at all, leave them to their own devices, to their own fates, but sense prevailed, luckily. 03:04:21.410 --> 03:04:24.034 [Riv (DM)]: And I like to think I had some measure of success in that. 03:04:25.657 --> 03:04:27.840 [Riv (DM)]: And so the Emerald Ceremony was formed. 03:04:28.040 --> 03:04:43.879 [Riv (DM)]: We were able to bring together some of the strongest Archmages in the city along with other Fae, some help of a few Archfae came to help pool our resources and we were able to create the portal at the Emerald Ceremony. 03:04:44.640 --> 03:04:55.072 [Riv (DM)]: Beautiful Emerald Portal that was able to briefly traverse the roots of the World Tree allowing us to have a small group infiltrate back into the material realm. 03:04:56.134 --> 03:04:57.355 [Riv (DM)]: I was one of those people that left. 03:04:58.718 --> 03:05:06.013 [Riv (DM)]: Along with some viewscore or other, we have been cut off from our people for four decades. 03:05:07.557 --> 03:05:14.972 [Riv (DM)]: No reinforcements could have been sent because that amount of power not easily become to be brought around again. 03:05:19.154 --> 03:05:23.724 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, the question is, you said you've been away for four decades. 03:05:23.744 --> 03:05:29.315 [Vael (Berberis)]: There are generations that have been born here and grown up here that know nothing of where they came from. 03:05:29.355 --> 03:05:37.753 [Vael (Berberis)]: How sure are you that your grand plan to open the portal and march everyone home will be well received? 03:05:39.961 --> 03:05:51.758 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I mean, firstly, to be fair, I don't have that many children, so I'd be surprised if there were that many new people, but the point is made, Sans. 03:05:53.060 --> 03:05:55.924 [Riv (DM)]: I don't think I have a plan so far to march everyone back. 03:05:59.489 --> 03:06:05.277 [Riv (DM)]: I think there is knowledge to be found beneath the heartstone. 03:06:07.450 --> 03:06:08.091 [Riv (DM)]: That is my goal. 03:06:10.593 --> 03:06:11.874 [Riv (DM)]: Let's speak on this later. 03:06:11.894 --> 03:06:15.177 [Riv (DM)]: The confluence tonight will be very telling. 03:06:17.880 --> 03:06:28.090 [Riv (DM)]: I think it's probably better if they were to question you that you didn't appear to be so clued in on our ways as they might suspect treachery. 03:06:29.491 --> 03:06:32.574 [Riv (DM)]: But just know that I have workings underway. 03:06:32.594 --> 03:06:33.795 [Riv (DM)]: I have plans. 03:06:37.201 --> 03:06:38.542 [Vael (Berberis)]: You have the basis of a plan? 03:06:39.203 --> 03:06:40.144 [Riv (DM)]: Ah, the basis of a plan. 03:06:41.205 --> 03:06:43.007 [Riv (DM)]: I've been thinking about it for, what, a couple of hours? 03:06:45.850 --> 03:06:46.651 [Riv (DM)]: My friend should be able to help. 03:06:47.752 --> 03:06:50.035 [Riv (DM)]: She is the head of the Circle of the Weave. 03:06:52.397 --> 03:06:54.139 [Riv (DM)]: A person we actually need to go and see very shortly. 03:06:56.802 --> 03:06:57.423 [Riv (DM)]: She looks out the window. 03:06:57.843 --> 03:06:59.125 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, moon should be rising soon, actually. 03:07:00.826 --> 03:07:02.348 [Lacer (Kai)]: Then we should go see her soon. 03:07:07.171 --> 03:07:07.452 [Riv (DM)]: Right? 03:07:08.194 --> 03:07:19.284 [Riv (DM)]: Um... She, um, she appears, you see, she appears kind of conflicted, like... Maybe she wants to tell you all of her plans, or... 03:07:19.304 --> 03:07:22.733 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know, she hasn't known you that long. 03:07:25.227 --> 03:07:32.403 [Riv (DM)]: You can tell that she has a secret that appears to be very important to her that she hasn't told anyone for a long time. 03:07:32.924 --> 03:07:38.336 [Riv (DM)]: I think you would gather with knowing her for a while and your passive insight. 03:07:41.503 --> 03:07:44.890 [Riv (DM)]: And she appears conflicted around Rev not to reveal it to you at this point. 03:07:45.832 --> 03:07:51.097 [Lacer (Kai)]: I ask, Ayana, just tell us what not to say so we don't fuck this up. 03:07:53.480 --> 03:07:59.066 [Riv (DM)]: Well, to be fair, I don't know what the political situation here is anymore. 03:08:01.008 --> 03:08:02.409 [Riv (DM)]: Just be polite. 03:08:02.469 --> 03:08:04.912 [Riv (DM)]: These are very proud people. 03:08:07.875 --> 03:08:09.256 [Riv (DM)]: Some of them are set in their ways. 03:08:10.838 --> 03:08:13.020 [Riv (DM)]: Truth is generally the right approach. 03:08:14.603 --> 03:08:15.384 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's us. 03:08:15.584 --> 03:08:20.209 [Vael (Berberis)]: We are the epitome of politeness and courtly behaviour. 03:08:20.950 --> 03:08:22.472 [Vael (Berberis)]: As I slam a beer. 03:08:30.160 --> 03:08:33.123 [JC (Ryo)]: So, we're fairly secluded here where we are, right? 03:08:33.904 --> 03:08:37.028 [Riv (DM)]: I think you've been able to find a little corner where you can speak unheard. 03:08:37.068 --> 03:08:41.893 [JC (Ryo)]: Um, see, you said my 03:08:43.190 --> 03:08:44.313 [JC (Ryo)]: Parents' names? 03:08:44.774 --> 03:08:45.977 [JC (Ryo)]: Are they still alive? 03:08:46.057 --> 03:08:46.939 [JC (Ryo)]: Are they past? 03:08:48.222 --> 03:08:49.325 [Riv (DM)]: What's going on? 03:08:49.345 --> 03:08:50.027 [Riv (DM)]: Tell me more. 03:08:52.272 --> 03:08:56.122 [Riv (DM)]: We have every reason to believe that they are not alive anymore. 03:08:56.142 --> 03:08:56.743 [Riv (DM)]: I'm sorry, Rio. 03:08:57.926 --> 03:08:58.768 [Riv (DM)]: They... 03:08:59.812 --> 03:09:00.613 [Riv (DM)]: They stayed behind. 03:09:01.475 --> 03:09:04.860 [Riv (DM)]: They wanted to get as many of their people as they could over here. 03:09:06.163 --> 03:09:10.570 [Riv (DM)]: As best as we could tell, something happened. 03:09:10.630 --> 03:09:13.856 [Riv (DM)]: They were attacked or ambushed or something and they fled. 03:09:15.458 --> 03:09:21.368 [Riv (DM)]: We haven't been able to trace exactly what happened to them, but we do know that we can no longer see them with magic. 03:09:21.388 --> 03:09:22.410 [Riv (DM)]: We can no longer scry on them. 03:09:24.432 --> 03:09:32.967 [Riv (DM)]: All my investigations that I've done since I've been back on Veltora shows that they were... they were killed. 03:09:33.928 --> 03:09:36.012 [Riv (DM)]: I believe that the Assassins of the Empire found them. 03:09:37.334 --> 03:09:39.558 [Riv (DM)]: That you are alive is very interesting. 03:09:40.219 --> 03:09:42.363 [Riv (DM)]: I wasn't even aware that Rennaya was pregnant. 03:09:43.164 --> 03:09:45.508 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe she wasn't, until they were even on the road. 03:09:46.269 --> 03:09:48.533 [Riv (DM)]: But... yeah. 03:09:53.575 --> 03:09:54.737 [JC (Ryo)]: Do I have any family? 03:09:54.817 --> 03:09:55.198 [JC (Ryo)]: Anything? 03:10:01.287 --> 03:10:06.956 [Lacer (Kai)]: Uncles, cousins, aunts, grandparents. 03:10:06.976 --> 03:10:11.183 [Riv (DM)]: Rhennaya did have a sister, but she's also been missing. 03:10:11.243 --> 03:10:14.869 [Riv (DM)]: We suspect also killed in the attack by the Empire. 03:10:17.172 --> 03:10:17.833 [Riv (DM)]: It was a tricky one. 03:10:17.873 --> 03:10:18.975 [Riv (DM)]: She was... 03:10:21.588 --> 03:10:26.736 [Riv (DM)]: She didn't see eye to eye with her sister, or Ratha for that matter. 03:10:27.417 --> 03:10:28.719 [Riv (DM)]: She thought that the elves should remain. 03:10:28.780 --> 03:10:32.385 [Riv (DM)]: And, I think, who knows? 03:10:33.587 --> 03:10:37.193 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe they separated before the exodus? 03:10:38.095 --> 03:10:40.238 [Riv (DM)]: But, yeah. 03:10:43.559 --> 03:10:48.364 [Riv (DM)]: She, um, she might have chosen to stay actually, now that I think about it. 03:10:48.384 --> 03:10:51.106 [Riv (DM)]: I think she'd fallen in love with a human or something. 03:10:51.767 --> 03:10:56.692 [Riv (DM)]: Maybe she chose to stay behind, but, uh, yeah. 03:10:56.712 --> 03:10:57.853 [Riv (DM)]: I didn't know her very well personally. 03:10:58.874 --> 03:11:01.436 [Riv (DM)]: She, um, yeah, she stayed out of our society for a while. 03:11:05.260 --> 03:11:11.406 [JC (Ryo)]: As you say she fell in love with a human, I just look at Erendor. 03:11:14.137 --> 03:11:16.059 [JC (Ryo)]: You guys related? 03:11:17.321 --> 03:11:19.844 [JC (Ryo)]: I don't know. 03:11:20.064 --> 03:11:21.746 [JC (Ryo)]: D-D-Erendor, do you know your mother's name? 03:11:28.755 --> 03:11:29.075 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I do. 03:11:33.461 --> 03:11:33.941 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Uh, Erineth. 03:11:38.327 --> 03:11:38.427 [Riv (DM)]: Okay. 03:11:38.447 --> 03:11:39.368 [Riv (DM)]: Get this. 03:11:39.854 --> 03:11:42.858 [Riv (DM)]: Ayana just tilts her head back and starts laughing. 03:11:45.681 --> 03:11:47.623 [Riv (DM)]: You guys didn't know you were cousins. 03:11:48.584 --> 03:11:49.546 [Riv (DM)]: Oh that's too much. 03:11:50.747 --> 03:11:51.608 [Riv (DM)]: Oh boy this is... 03:11:53.490 --> 03:11:56.514 [Riv (DM)]: This is certainly becoming an interesting time. 03:12:01.380 --> 03:12:03.723 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Well, this is why they say incest is bad. 03:12:03.743 --> 03:12:07.347 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I think... 03:12:08.221 --> 03:12:10.344 [Lacer (Kai)]: What are we talking about, Dunlop? 03:12:11.826 --> 03:12:13.167 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we end the session right there? 03:12:13.187 --> 03:12:14.830 [Riv (DM)]: That's kind of an interesting place to finish. 03:12:15.090 --> 03:12:25.323 [Riv (DM)]: I was hoping to head to the Ethereum Canton, but I think that's a wonderful place to stop. 03:12:25.343 --> 03:12:28.147 [Riv (DM)]: So how about we stop there and we can do the confluence in the next session. 03:12:28.207 --> 03:12:33.874 [Vael (Berberis)]: Which was the older system? 03:12:34.512 --> 03:12:37.056 [Riv (DM)]: I think Rennaya was younger. 03:12:38.358 --> 03:12:39.980 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 03:12:40.000 --> 03:12:41.102 [Lacer (Kai)]: So, so... 03:12:41.662 --> 03:12:46.950 [Vael (Berberis)]: I've been holding onto that one for a while. 03:12:47.250 --> 03:12:50.635 [Vael (Berberis)]: Which one was Erendor's mother the older? 03:12:51.497 --> 03:12:54.461 [Riv (DM)]: Erendeth was slightly younger than Rennaya. 03:12:56.163 --> 03:12:57.185 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay. 03:12:57.205 --> 03:13:00.089 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm gonna say, who's really in the line of succession?
