four weeks I think since the last session, so let's do a nice detailed recap. 29:11.736 --> 29:16.979 [Riv (DM)]: The last session started on the edge of the Vale of the Eternal Night. 29:17.539 --> 29:21.561 [Riv (DM)]: You were just about to travel across and try and find the City of Night. 29:24.690 --> 29:50.022 [Riv (DM)]: You had a bit of a speak like discussion beforehand around how you wanted to approach it and what sort of the plan was but eventually you ended up just saying screw it you know what let's just go bold probably no way that you're going to be able to get across without getting seen so you just let's go fast let's get across when they when they find us you know we're here as a diplomatic party so we tried to do that 29:50.949 --> 30:08.010 [Riv (DM)]: Um there were the odd little issues going getting across there was a there was a black river um that blocked your way um the bat from Dondar's familiar dipped its toes into it to see and he found that it had suffered uh 30:08.490 --> 30:26.162 [Riv (DM)]: lingering curse um and so you thought yep that's not probably not a good thing to fall into and you very very cleverly managed to figure out a good way to cross it you'd recharge your zephyr cuffs climbed up a mountain and jumped over which took you to a road which made traveling a bit quicker 30:27.583 --> 30:34.069 [Riv (DM)]: But it wasn't too long as you're traveling along the road until the howls of wolves were heard and the hunt caught up with you. 30:34.089 --> 30:51.966 [Riv (DM)]: A large dire warg and a group of centaurs led by Caradoc the centaur, kind of an older grayish centaur with a ponytail and an eye patch, questioned you, tried to see what was going on and 30:53.273 --> 31:03.502 [Riv (DM)]: They kind of, I don't know, they took your word for what you're saying potentially suspiciously too well, I would say. 31:05.103 --> 31:15.252 [Riv (DM)]: They kind of immediately decided escorting you and something seemed to pass between two of them and it wasn't too long until that became apparent what was actually going on. 31:15.952 --> 31:28.320 [Riv (DM)]: Instead of taking you directly to the city, they took you into the Barrow-Ring, which is this gnarly, deep, dark area of ground around the outside of the city. 31:28.461 --> 31:33.344 [Riv (DM)]: The city itself obviously being this circular walled city with the floating silver moon above it. 31:34.545 --> 31:46.615 [Riv (DM)]: But these two centaurs took you off into the depths of the Barrow-Ring down into a den where you met a nice old lady called Ymrageth. 31:48.036 --> 31:49.717 [Riv (DM)]: Definitely not a crone or a hag. 31:50.858 --> 32:01.908 [Riv (DM)]: It's a nice old lady and she questioned you and let you know that the queen is evil and planning to start a war. 32:02.548 --> 32:05.150 [Riv (DM)]: And she decided to strike a bargain with you. 32:05.170 --> 32:10.874 [Riv (DM)]: She will help you get what you're looking for if in exchange you help her kill the queen. 32:11.395 --> 32:26.846 [Riv (DM)]: And she gave you an amulet that would temporarily halt the queen's powers so that the crone and her allies could break into the citadel and help kill the queen. 32:31.125 --> 32:39.289 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, the deal was struck and you were then escorted all the way back up into the Citadel by the same two centaurs. 32:41.130 --> 32:55.237 [Riv (DM)]: Passing on through the city, you went through and kind of saw all manner of the denizens, these nasty little fae creatures, redcaps and sorts of things like that. 32:55.257 --> 32:56.638 [Riv (DM)]: You went through the Muster Yards and 32:57.398 --> 33:12.387 [Riv (DM)]: Saw where all the kennels were kept, and eventually rising up into the higher parts of the city, the upper tiers, passing through the inner rings, you got to the black obsidian citadel itself. 33:13.007 --> 33:19.571 [Riv (DM)]: Within, there was a bit of time waiting until the queen would see you. 33:22.225 --> 33:30.094 [Riv (DM)]: When you were let inside, you spoke to the queen, immediately telling her that there is a traitor in her midst. 33:30.214 --> 33:37.883 [Riv (DM)]: Rather than following through with Ymrageth's plot, you essentially just told the queen that there is a hag who is plotting to kill her. 33:40.665 --> 33:58.856 [Riv (DM)]: Mirileth was presented as this very very sort of unnaturally tall elven woman with a sort of black and white gown that sort of shined and switched between the colors of black and white um she was pretty kind of 33:59.762 --> 34:15.402 [Riv (DM)]: interested i think and slightly humid to hear about how um berberis was able to break the the bargain um by wording it in a way so that he wasn't actually held to what he'd promised and um 34:18.365 --> 34:42.131 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually you had asked the queen that she um they were after that well you were after a couple of things you wanted to find Asha son of Caelan Vayne back from Sumara but also you're after a soul stone this caused some emotion across the queen's face face and um she started to question you how you learned of it and and while doing so she 34:43.509 --> 34:53.632 [Riv (DM)]: Killed the two centaurs that have been escorting you so as to stop them from knowing that knowledge which apparently was quite secret and quite precious to her. 34:54.972 --> 35:11.637 [Riv (DM)]: She was on the verge of killing all of you until Ryo revealed his ring which stopped her hand for a moment as there was something within the queen that triggered, I think, from seeing that. 35:12.657 --> 35:18.707 [Riv (DM)]: It turns out that the queen, Mirileth, is 35:20.947 --> 35:24.749 [Riv (DM)]: More than what she seems, she is two minds in one body. 35:25.489 --> 35:49.681 [Riv (DM)]: Mirileth the ancient fey spirit was detached from her body thousands of years before, floating through the lands sort of bodiless and tortured, haunted, until she met a young woman called Ellesandra... oh goodness gracious, Silmara, Ellesandra Silmara, 35:50.351 --> 35:51.251 [Riv (DM)]: Brain just went blank. 35:53.432 --> 35:56.273 [Riv (DM)]: Who was on a mission of her own. 35:56.673 --> 36:02.915 [Riv (DM)]: She entered the Vale of the Eternal Night to stop the Long Hunt and the endless war that had been going on between the two great cities. 36:04.635 --> 36:07.276 [Riv (DM)]: Mirileth had struck a bargain with Ellesandra. 36:08.536 --> 36:19.980 [Riv (DM)]: She would take her body and in return she would help Ellesandra overthrow the Long Hunt and end the war, which Ellesandra had agreed to. 36:22.377 --> 36:35.263 [Riv (DM)]: The Soulstone was an ancient artifact which had been created at the dawn of time to trap the souls of powerful beings that cannot be killed. 36:37.384 --> 36:42.386 [Riv (DM)]: And it turns out that the being that had originally destroyed Mirileth 36:44.843 --> 36:50.465 [Riv (DM)]: Was an archdevil who had been tormenting her spirit for centuries or millennia. 36:52.686 --> 37:04.230 [Riv (DM)]: After Mirileth and Ellesandra joined, they were able to track down, destroy Maloreth and put his body inside the soulstone, or rather his spirit, soul. 37:05.170 --> 37:09.532 [Riv (DM)]: And so that is what is so precious about the soulstone to Mirileth. 37:10.592 --> 37:13.153 [Riv (DM)]: It contains the soul of her ancient nemesis. 37:15.337 --> 37:17.359 [Riv (DM)]: So the deal was struck. 37:18.600 --> 37:20.281 [Riv (DM)]: You want the soulstone and Asha. 37:21.202 --> 37:22.723 [Riv (DM)]: Why would Mirileth give it to you? 37:24.265 --> 37:28.368 [Riv (DM)]: Well, she did ask for something in return. 37:29.449 --> 37:32.632 [Riv (DM)]: She wants access to the Vault of Memories within Sumara. 37:34.153 --> 37:41.819 [Riv (DM)]: If you grant her that access, she will release Maloreth from the stone, giving it to you, so that is an empty vessel. 37:42.800 --> 37:50.503 [Riv (DM)]: On the condition that you go to the hells and destroy Maloreth before he fully reforms in the hells. 37:51.224 --> 38:00.247 [Riv (DM)]: As when an archdevil is killed on a plane of existence that is not the hells, their soul will always go back to the hells to reform over a period of time. 38:02.088 --> 38:09.431 [Riv (DM)]: So if you can get there and destroy his spirit before it fully regains, you can permanently destroy him without any fight. 38:14.534 --> 38:24.062 [Riv (DM)]: She also requested that you take care of this crone, this traitorous Ymrageth. 38:25.343 --> 38:27.925 [Riv (DM)]: Do these things and she will hand over the soulstone. 38:28.546 --> 38:29.727 [Riv (DM)]: That is the bargain that is on the table. 38:33.172 --> 38:39.595 [Riv (DM)]: Long recap, sorry, but I think there was probably quite a lot there and it was a wee while ago, so I think we probably pick up around there. 38:39.655 --> 38:45.439 [Riv (DM)]: We're in the Citadel, we're in the throne room of the Star Veiled Citadel. 38:46.539 --> 38:50.922 [Riv (DM)]: The bargain has been at least announced to you, what she is after. 38:51.902 --> 38:56.143 [Riv (DM)]: You're standing around two slain bodies of centaurs. 38:56.864 --> 39:05.286 [Riv (DM)]: There's a fountain in the center of the throne room with black water pouring over the sides and a sort of channel that spans the full way of the throne room. 39:06.027 --> 39:19.031 [Riv (DM)]: Mirileth vanishes into a cloud of mist again and reappears up on the dais above and sits down on the throne, crosses her legs, and just waits for you to respond. 39:21.703 --> 39:23.184 [Riv (DM)]: So I can hand it over to you guys. 39:23.704 --> 39:26.225 [Riv (DM)]: You can now discuss and respond and see what you want to do. 39:34.008 --> 39:44.813 [Vael (Berberis)]: Like we were saying, I think first and foremost, we need to clarify with the third party if they're content with the deal, instead of us making the deal for them. 39:47.834 --> 39:50.615 [Vael (Berberis)]: AKA we need to message send Praetor. 39:54.862 --> 39:56.043 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, what do you want to say? 39:56.403 --> 40:02.666 [Riv (DM)]: Queen just nods, but she says, Regardless of his answer, the deal is still the deal. 40:19.013 --> 40:22.014 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Your request doesn't change, but the way we approach it may. 40:23.175 --> 40:23.455 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Indeed. 40:25.163 --> 40:27.644 [Vael (Berberis)]: All the warmth of your reception into the vault. 40:30.786 --> 40:32.527 [Riv (DM)]: I'll leave that up to you to determine. 40:32.547 --> 40:44.593 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just sort of look around the party and just sort of, under my breath, like we can tell a giant fucking ancient dragon to do anything. 40:47.354 --> 40:48.795 [Lacer (Kai)]: And they're stuck in a hard spot. 40:50.696 --> 40:53.297 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, all you can do is send a message and see what happens. 40:55.407 --> 40:56.407 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, right now? 40:56.428 --> 41:02.650 [Vael (Berberis)]: No time like the present. 41:02.810 --> 41:04.811 [Lacer (Kai)]: What do you want me to send? 41:07.673 --> 41:09.754 [Lacer (Kai)]: You'll learn, mate. 41:09.774 --> 41:10.894 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yo, Praetor! 41:11.294 --> 41:15.116 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We got the Star-Veiled Queen here, she wished to visit you. 41:15.136 --> 41:18.097 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Any objections, mate? 41:21.219 --> 41:22.059 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Is that 20 words? 41:22.079 --> 41:23.520 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Why is the Queen laughing? 41:28.989 --> 41:36.390 [Vael (Berberis)]: Something a little bit nicer than Oi you giant silvery fuck, you set us up to get murdered by a fucking fae queen. 41:38.111 --> 41:39.571 [Vael (Berberis)]: Somewhere in the middle of those two. 41:40.631 --> 41:42.952 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Honestly, what I said is actually 19 words, so... 41:51.233 --> 41:51.693 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay. 41:53.534 --> 41:53.674 [Lacer (Kai)]: Um... 41:56.184 --> 41:58.505 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Mate, you're the one with the spell, you can say what you want. 42:00.366 --> 42:01.047 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look to Ryo. 42:01.327 --> 42:02.627 [Lacer (Kai)]: How do you want to word this? 42:04.008 --> 42:06.950 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's- it's- it- because you're- you're the one with the- the keys. 42:07.590 --> 42:10.992 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's- You can send more than one message, can't you? 42:11.712 --> 42:13.313 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, but it's expensive. 42:14.593 --> 42:17.815 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: It's a little more expensive than our lives. 42:18.495 --> 42:18.876 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 42:20.977 --> 42:21.457 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, okay. 42:23.910 --> 42:27.694 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, if I use too many, I can't bring people back in case something goes wrong. 42:28.134 --> 42:28.895 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's what I'm gonna say. 42:34.340 --> 42:42.228 [Lacer (Kai)]: At most I can send five messages, but I won't be able to do any fighting tonight. 42:57.222 --> 43:00.563 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: How likely is it we would need to fight in the hospitality of the queen? 43:05.845 --> 43:07.105 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know, you tell me. 43:13.647 --> 43:15.868 [Vael (Berberis)]: We'll probably have a rest before we go out to kill a crone. 43:20.349 --> 43:22.550 [Vael (Berberis)]: The one sending it, just a general wording. 43:25.065 --> 43:26.105 [Vael (Berberis)]: You set us up. 43:26.125 --> 43:27.766 [Vael (Berberis)]: Maybe not in that terms, but um... 43:28.726 --> 43:30.027 [Vael (Berberis)]: The Queen does know of Soulstone. 43:30.207 --> 43:32.828 [Vael (Berberis)]: She also wants to kill anyone who knows of it. 43:36.529 --> 43:39.670 [Vael (Berberis)]: She's gonna help us out. 43:39.870 --> 43:43.472 [Vael (Berberis)]: The Queen would like the pleasure of an attendance in your court. 43:45.472 --> 43:48.013 [Vael (Berberis)]: Preferably, don't try to kill us again. 43:48.534 --> 43:48.934 [Vael (Berberis)]: Or something. 43:48.994 --> 43:49.374 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't know. 43:49.734 --> 43:51.035 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm so fucking tired. 43:51.055 --> 43:51.915 [Vael (Berberis)]: My brain isn't working. 43:53.115 --> 43:58.436 [JC (Ryo)]: The only thing going through Ryo's head is like, why didn't you tell us, I'm fucking, it's my grandmother, you prick. 44:00.117 --> 44:02.277 [Vael (Berberis)]: Great, great, great, great, great? 44:05.358 --> 44:05.838 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, the body. 44:09.139 --> 44:11.019 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I feel like this is more than 19 words. 44:12.479 --> 44:15.280 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'm trying to like, condense this down into a... 44:16.641 --> 44:20.704 [Lacer (Kai)]: A decent message, but I guess I'll try and wing it based on what everyone said. 44:21.724 --> 44:28.048 [Lacer (Kai)]: And I start casting message to Praetor'Varanous. 44:29.469 --> 44:43.338 [Lacer (Kai)]: I'll say, hello Praetor, we're in a pickle, the queen here has the stone, she wants to meet, everything wants to kill us. 44:50.471 --> 44:51.672 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm pretty sure that was 22 words. 44:53.033 --> 44:53.313 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Was it? 44:55.494 --> 44:56.175 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'd fuck you. 44:58.496 --> 45:06.341 [Unmatched Speaker]: No, don't. 45:10.604 --> 45:10.884 [Unmatched Speaker]: Okay. 45:14.046 --> 45:17.048 [Riv (DM)]: A few moments go by and you get a response back. 45:25.495 --> 45:36.222 [Riv (DM)]: It's good that it sounds you have not come to violence and that you have found the location of the stone. 45:37.963 --> 45:38.964 [Riv (DM)]: Where does she want to meet? 45:43.427 --> 45:44.248 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: She your house. 45:46.672 --> 46:00.977 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I'm going to reply directly back to Praetor and go, we're safe for now, can't say for tomorrow, but she would like access to the vault and meet with you. 46:02.538 --> 46:07.620 [Lacer (Kai)]: She's also Ryo's grandma. 46:09.941 --> 46:10.401 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Mirileth. 46:10.541 --> 46:12.102 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: And stunningly pretty. 46:15.003 --> 46:15.843 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't add that part. 46:22.077 --> 46:42.198 [Riv (DM)]: okay um the response comes back ah that is a piece of the puzzle that fits more perfectly than i expected 46:46.137 --> 46:53.184 [Riv (DM)]: Inadvisable to let her into the vault, but ultimately, the Silmara's decision. 46:56.187 --> 46:57.468 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What answer did he expect? 46:57.788 --> 46:58.809 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: He can't leave the vault. 46:59.310 --> 47:00.150 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Where else would they meet? 47:00.991 --> 47:08.638 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, I know, but like, I look to Rhyr and I repeat exactly what he said with what Praetor said. 47:08.919 --> 47:10.060 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's your choice. 47:14.626 --> 47:17.227 [JC (Ryo)]: I'm just looking at my ancestor. 47:19.289 --> 47:19.809 [JC (Ryo)]: What choice? 47:26.573 --> 47:30.455 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, as you're thinking about that type of stuff, Ryo... 47:31.355 --> 47:36.618 [Vael (Berberis)]: I mean, we don't have to do the entire conversation right now if you need spell slots. 47:37.779 --> 47:39.640 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, I've just burned all my level threes. 47:39.840 --> 47:42.301 [Lacer (Kai)]: I've only got fours and one fifth left. 47:42.781 --> 47:43.902 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, don't send any more message. 47:44.797 --> 47:47.379 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Nah, I was gonna- Shouldn't Fireball the Queen? 47:48.480 --> 47:49.261 [Lacer (Kai)]: Are you crazy? 47:49.361 --> 47:54.765 [Lacer (Kai)]: Look around you, she just, like, iced those two centaurs that, like, just knew of the stone. 47:55.446 --> 48:00.209 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Do you think she doesn't have delayed Fireball, like, sitting in a chandelier up above us? 48:01.951 --> 48:06.474 [JC (Ryo)]: Or a bunch of ritual, uh, warding- warding's bloody counter spells or something? 48:07.155 --> 48:08.936 [Vael (Berberis)]: Just to clarify, this is an archfae. 48:09.257 --> 48:13.280 [Vael (Berberis)]: This is like, when you're a warlock and you make a pact with a fucking great power, 48:13.994 --> 48:15.836 [Vael (Berberis)]: This is one of those great powers. 48:18.358 --> 48:20.620 [Vael (Berberis)]: We are basically talking to a god in her throne room. 48:22.381 --> 48:27.306 [Riv (DM)]: As if she can almost read your minds and hear this meta conversation that's happening. 48:28.066 --> 48:40.237 [Riv (DM)]: She just sort of like twists her fingers a little bit casually and the two bodies just start to slide across the floor and drop into the black river where they just kind of start washing away and evaporating. 48:42.348 --> 48:42.828 [Riv (DM)]: Leaving no trace. 48:42.848 --> 48:43.189 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look at it. 48:43.909 --> 48:44.409 [Lacer (Kai)]: I look at that. 48:44.790 --> 48:45.911 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's very convenient. 48:45.931 --> 48:47.292 [Lacer (Kai)]: I gotta get myself one of them. 48:51.354 --> 48:58.139 [Lacer (Kai)]: I would like to look up to, up towards the queen on her throne, and I ask about Ymrageth. 48:59.360 --> 49:03.803 [Lacer (Kai)]: She's been plotting against you for a very, very long time. 49:04.844 --> 49:07.786 [Lacer (Kai)]: I feel like death is too good for her. 49:09.607 --> 49:10.248 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do you think so? 49:12.926 --> 49:21.373 [Riv (DM)]: I've known about her... her tendencies and her greater goals for some time. 49:23.194 --> 49:24.995 [Riv (DM)]: I've thought no mind of it. 49:26.857 --> 49:28.338 [Riv (DM)]: She doesn't pose any real threat to me. 49:30.375 --> 49:34.496 [Riv (DM)]: But she saw you all as an opportunity. 49:35.396 --> 49:38.817 [Riv (DM)]: You were an unknown piece here. 49:39.677 --> 49:43.037 [Riv (DM)]: It is entirely possible that with your aid she could have been successful. 49:44.558 --> 49:45.758 [Riv (DM)]: I guess we may still yet see. 49:48.879 --> 49:49.539 [Lacer (Kai)]: That's true. 49:49.979 --> 49:52.919 [Lacer (Kai)]: I have an idea that might entertain you. 49:55.220 --> 49:55.820 [Lacer (Kai)]: Please go ahead. 49:58.154 --> 50:21.659 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was thinking, instead of killing Ymrageth, we could subdue her, and with your amazing powers, you could get her to be transformed into something cute, and place some sort of contract on her to protect your great-grandson Hyria, as like a penance for all the evil doings she's done in her lifetime. 50:22.799 --> 50:23.759 [Lacer (Kai)]: That would be really funny. 50:25.668 --> 50:38.534 [Riv (DM)]: While I do like the idea, you must understand, as I mentioned earlier, the political situation here in the city is in a constant flux. 50:39.794 --> 50:40.555 [Riv (DM)]: If I were to 50:43.767 --> 50:49.992 [Riv (DM)]: If I were to give my preference too strongly in any one direction, I would have an uprising. 50:50.873 --> 50:51.714 [Riv (DM)]: I need the crones. 50:53.035 --> 50:59.020 [Riv (DM)]: I cannot be seen actively being malicious towards them. 51:00.462 --> 51:03.945 [Riv (DM)]: This is why you can do this for me, because you are outsiders. 51:04.665 --> 51:07.127 [Riv (DM)]: They will blame you, they may even try to kill you. 51:09.790 --> 51:10.010 [Riv (DM)]: But... 51:11.388 --> 51:16.531 [Riv (DM)]: They don't need to know that I was the one that asked you to do it. 51:16.551 --> 51:25.857 [Vael (Berberis)]: Of course, the inference that you asked us could definitely make a point. 51:25.937 --> 51:29.999 [Vael (Berberis)]: Not direct intervention, but indirect intervention. 51:31.520 --> 51:32.281 [Riv (DM)]: Good, indeed. 51:33.441 --> 51:37.664 [Vael (Berberis)]: Speaking of, is there any assistance you can give us in dealing with said crone? 51:42.742 --> 51:47.745 [Riv (DM)]: Need to be careful here about how far across the line I go. 51:49.026 --> 51:50.566 [Riv (DM)]: What assistance would you be after? 51:50.967 --> 51:52.087 [Riv (DM)]: Would you want information? 51:52.788 --> 51:53.128 [Riv (DM)]: Power? 51:53.148 --> 51:59.912 [Vael (Berberis)]: Probably better aware of this political situation than we are. 52:00.132 --> 52:11.498 [Vael (Berberis)]: Anything that would make it clear that it would probably allow us to traverse the city without being constantly ambushed would be nice. 52:13.292 --> 52:18.675 [Vael (Berberis)]: But, honestly, any edge will help. 52:20.276 --> 52:21.236 [Riv (DM)]: I can make you... 52:21.256 --> 52:28.840 [Riv (DM)]: I can send you on your way and make you appear as a high-ranking member of my court. 52:29.821 --> 52:30.901 [Riv (DM)]: You would not be waylaid. 52:31.141 --> 52:32.442 [Riv (DM)]: People would not even look at you. 52:34.183 --> 52:34.823 [Riv (DM)]: That is no problem. 52:35.984 --> 52:37.004 [Riv (DM)]: A simple illusion spell. 52:40.806 --> 52:42.447 [Riv (DM)]: As for Ymrageth and her coven... 52:43.927 --> 52:47.950 [Riv (DM)]: I believe you have likely already been in her den, so you know where it is. 52:48.911 --> 52:54.556 [Riv (DM)]: What you probably don't know is that she has three lesser hags with her. 52:55.216 --> 52:55.977 [Riv (DM)]: Be careful of them. 52:57.578 --> 53:04.044 [Riv (DM)]: Do not just assume if you encounter her and she is alone that she is vulnerable. 53:06.025 --> 53:07.867 [Riv (DM)]: She has three with her at all times. 53:11.778 --> 53:14.279 [Riv (DM)]: When they are close together, they are more powerful. 53:14.760 --> 53:17.121 [Riv (DM)]: Separating them will make them vulnerable. 53:25.786 --> 53:26.486 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: How separate? 53:37.000 --> 54:03.722 [Riv (DM)]: generally um oh god i i just i really want to just like um no we're all good sorry so we just have to divide them up so that they're not as powerful when they're not together any sort of within throwing distance um is enough for their powers to form together 54:05.308 --> 54:05.688 [Riv (DM)]: I see. 54:05.889 --> 54:13.336 [Riv (DM)]: If you were in a large cavern and you were to separate them from each other across either side, I'm sure that their power becomes weaker. 54:14.357 --> 54:15.098 [Lacer (Kai)]: Is there a sign? 54:15.378 --> 54:17.601 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do they glow or something when they're together? 54:17.921 --> 54:22.846 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like, when... to show that they are... stronger? 54:22.866 --> 54:23.287 [Riv (DM)]: Nothing visible. 54:23.887 --> 54:24.548 [Riv (DM)]: But you'll know. 54:25.189 --> 54:26.850 [Riv (DM)]: We gotta tell based on how they are acting. 54:27.992 --> 54:28.312 [Lacer (Kai)]: I see. 54:43.513 --> 54:44.554 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just looked to Ryo. 54:45.094 --> 54:45.395 [Lacer (Kai)]: Shame. 54:45.575 --> 54:51.200 [Lacer (Kai)]: It'd be funny if there was like a hag turned into a pixie guarding you with a life-death bond. 54:52.161 --> 54:53.162 [Lacer (Kai)]: How funny would that be? 54:53.182 --> 55:02.810 [JC (Ryo)]: Ryo just looks at you confused. 55:11.985 --> 55:14.187 [Unmatched Speaker]: Very well, let's go kill a hag. 55:16.328 --> 55:16.868 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or four. 55:18.309 --> 55:20.071 [Lacer (Kai)]: How long does this illusion last? 55:24.254 --> 55:26.195 [Riv (DM)]: I can make it last for most of the day. 55:27.596 --> 55:31.358 [Riv (DM)]: Although I will warn you, be sure that you are fully prepared for this. 55:31.719 --> 55:33.460 [Riv (DM)]: You will not be an easy foe to take down. 55:37.642 --> 55:43.524 [Riv (DM)]: If you need to rest, since it has been a long day, I can give you chambers here in the Citadel. 55:47.506 --> 55:51.588 [Riv (DM)]: As long as you promise to be on your best behaviour. 55:53.108 --> 56:05.233 [Riv (DM)]: As nice as this conversation has been, and for whatever our relationship may mean, I still don't necessarily trust you as you are outsiders. 56:09.708 --> 56:14.949 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: That we are, and relationship there is none of yet. 56:18.590 --> 56:22.271 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We shall potentially change that over the coming nights. 56:24.812 --> 56:25.712 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Singular nights? 56:26.673 --> 56:31.474 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I'm still not used to this fae time, especially in this eternal darkness. 56:32.194 --> 56:33.114 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Always nights here. 56:33.655 --> 56:34.935 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Young man, it is always night here. 56:37.656 --> 56:50.643 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, the biggest question I have when it comes to that is, if it's always night, do days occur, or is it simply multiple nights, or is it one continuous day? 56:51.903 --> 56:56.866 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's not important, it's just, it makes it difficult sometimes. 56:57.406 --> 56:59.107 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The same as the light outside. 56:59.167 --> 57:03.450 [Riv (DM)]: She just, um, she usually lets out a little chuckle. 57:05.338 --> 57:07.179 [Riv (DM)]: You're new here, you're new to our ways. 57:07.719 --> 57:09.160 [Riv (DM)]: If you stay longer you'll get used to it. 57:12.661 --> 57:13.201 [Riv (DM)]: You could, you know. 57:13.221 --> 57:17.703 [Riv (DM)]: We could have a place here in the city. 57:25.867 --> 57:28.048 [Vael (Berberis)]: When you flirt with a baddie too hard and she flirts back. 57:33.127 --> 57:41.013 [Lacer (Kai)]: What happens if time stops here and we're just moving within that period and it's just one long eternal night that never ends? 57:41.273 --> 57:47.677 [Vael (Berberis)]: I'm trying not to think about the fae time bullshit. 57:47.737 --> 57:58.025 [Riv (DM)]: She stands up and says, unless there's anything else, I assume that you have much to discuss and plan and rest. 57:58.625 --> 58:02.808 [Riv (DM)]: I will send for someone and you will have chambers arranged. 58:04.167 --> 58:07.189 [Riv (DM)]: If you have no final questions... 58:07.249 --> 58:08.250 [Vael (Berberis)]: I have one. 58:11.432 --> 58:19.276 [Vael (Berberis)]: Say we deal with these hags, we will need to communicate with you afterwards to deal with the second part of our mission. 58:20.897 --> 58:27.982 [Vael (Berberis)]: But you said that we're probably going to have some repercussions and you don't want the repercussions linked back to you. 58:30.270 --> 58:35.051 [Vael (Berberis)]: That's probably not a good idea for us to go murder the hags and then walk back into the throne room. 58:36.371 --> 58:37.011 [Riv (DM)]: Probably not. 58:37.892 --> 58:43.873 [Riv (DM)]: Depending on how you go about it, if you flaunt yourselves entering and leaving, definitely not. 58:43.893 --> 58:51.234 [Riv (DM)]: If you come up with some cunning way to be unseen, perhaps I guess it is up to you. 58:52.614 --> 59:00.036 [Riv (DM)]: Either way, your friend here can send messages and, to be honest, I see much and most of what goes on here. 59:02.086 --> 59:03.126 [Riv (DM)]: If need be, I can come to you. 59:04.427 --> 59:05.687 [Vael (Berberis)]: I was about to say, yep. 59:08.167 --> 59:09.468 [Vael (Berberis)]: You call us, we won't call you. 59:12.468 --> 59:12.808 [Riv (DM)]: Very well. 59:12.968 --> 59:19.570 [Riv (DM)]: If you kill Ymrageth and leave the city, keep an eye on your shoulder, and I will likely be there. 59:23.191 --> 59:26.271 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't know if that sounds ominous or not, but okay. 59:27.372 --> 59:28.512 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: She flattens you a smile now. 59:30.986 --> 59:33.388 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I under my breath to the rest of the others. 59:34.449 --> 59:36.591 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: They always say they'll call back, but they don't. 59:39.913 --> 59:45.217 [Riv (DM)]: You hear a voice directly over your shoulder and your ear that just says, I always will. 59:50.281 --> 59:51.362 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Excuse me, m'lady. 59:53.964 --> 59:58.848 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: My bat fell into the river, and there's something wrong with him. 59:59.812 --> 01:00:00.633 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, that's no good. 01:00:01.653 --> 01:00:01.993 [Riv (DM)]: Bring him. 01:00:02.114 --> 01:00:02.554 [Riv (DM)]: Let me see. 01:00:05.476 --> 01:00:10.799 [Riv (DM)]: Brings the bat forward. 01:00:11.100 --> 01:00:13.421 [Riv (DM)]: Has he just sort of been chilling on your shoulder or something? 01:00:14.662 --> 01:00:14.842 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yep. 01:00:19.309 --> 01:00:23.610 [Riv (DM)]: She sort of reaches out her hand and the bat flies over. 01:00:23.910 --> 01:00:31.533 [Riv (DM)]: It's almost sort of as if something coerced it or convinced it or beckoned it to come. 01:00:32.753 --> 01:00:36.094 [Riv (DM)]: And it like kind of, it's kind of sadly looks a bit frail as it like flies over. 01:00:36.114 --> 01:00:42.336 [Riv (DM)]: You can see it's like kind of grayed and patchy wings looking a bit, yeah, worse for wear. 01:00:42.997 --> 01:00:47.398 [Riv (DM)]: It lands on her hand and she just holds it up in front of her face and she's like, oh, he's delightful. 01:00:49.367 --> 01:00:50.368 [Riv (DM)]: Love little creatures. 01:00:52.429 --> 01:00:53.991 [Riv (DM)]: You took a little dip in the river, did you? 01:00:54.811 --> 01:00:55.432 [Riv (DM)]: We can fix that. 01:00:56.232 --> 01:01:12.485 [Riv (DM)]: And she just like sort of strokes from his head down his back and you see the frayed wings start to mend themselves and his patchy grey fur starts to change back into its original luscious sheen. 01:01:13.706 --> 01:01:15.207 [Riv (DM)]: Fur comes back nice and fuzzed up and 01:01:15.607 --> 01:01:23.373 [Riv (DM)]: The bat sort of stretches out and clearly makes a little chirping noise, quite happy, and jumps up into the air, flies around her head, and back to you, Dondo. 01:01:25.655 --> 01:01:31.199 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's only at this point that Erendor realizes that there's no one actually at the point behind him where the voice came from. 01:01:33.240 --> 01:01:33.401 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 01:01:33.821 --> 01:01:35.222 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, she didn't appear to speak. 01:01:36.863 --> 01:01:39.185 [Riv (DM)]: She was just kind of staring at you when you said it. 01:01:42.568 --> 01:01:43.148 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Thank you, m'lady. 01:01:44.383 --> 01:01:46.204 [Riv (DM)]: Of course, it's no great thing. 01:01:47.084 --> 01:01:47.884 [Riv (DM)]: It's a simple curse. 01:01:49.205 --> 01:01:58.169 [Riv (DM)]: I wouldn't go swimming in there for a period of time, but if you were to have a brush with it, a simple magical decurse spell would do the trick. 01:02:01.110 --> 01:02:01.290 Oops. 01:02:08.953 --> 01:02:10.134 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, um... 01:02:11.957 --> 01:02:41.324 [Riv (DM)]: You see she um again makes a gesture with her hand and a few after a few moments the big doors at the far end of the of the throne room sort of boom and grind open um and a single figure in the sort of classic shining black armor comes walking in um this is like you remember this shoulder pauldron is kind of pointed and spiked ahead it's like this black spiky um yeah obsidian sort of steel 01:02:42.804 --> 01:02:46.145 [Riv (DM)]: Comes forward, crouches in front of her, my queen. 01:02:47.545 --> 01:02:54.327 [Riv (DM)]: And she says, be a dear and take these guests to some chambers. 01:02:55.827 --> 01:02:56.747 [Riv (DM)]: Make them feel welcome. 01:02:59.608 --> 01:03:01.988 [Riv (DM)]: And stand outside. 01:03:02.488 --> 01:03:10.530 [Riv (DM)]: Don't allow anyone in or out until you confirm with me. 01:03:12.342 --> 01:03:13.363 [Riv (DM)]: Yep, of course my lady. 01:03:14.944 --> 01:03:16.145 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, right this way. 01:03:16.825 --> 01:03:18.727 [Riv (DM)]: He stands up, turns and starts to lead you out. 01:03:21.509 --> 01:03:29.735 [Riv (DM)]: You can see under the black armor, kind of looks elven, elven sort of features, classic. 01:03:30.256 --> 01:03:36.140 [Riv (DM)]: With the helmet it's a little bit tough to make out too many features, but why don't someone make a perception check? 01:03:48.067 --> 01:04:02.719 [Riv (DM)]: yeah so as you came up through the um wait did you roll a natural one yes i feel like reliable talent shouldn't work on a natural one honestly i agree but 01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:04.739 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, well. 01:04:04.840 --> 01:04:06.321 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Eyeball slips out. 01:04:06.601 --> 01:04:08.022 [Riv (DM)]: That's how it works. 01:04:08.662 --> 01:04:24.133 [Riv (DM)]: As you came up through the Citadel earlier in the evening, you'd come and you'd encountered many of these sort of fae knights, a lot of them standing guard outside doors and so on, all of them in their gleaming black armor, often carrying long spears and halberds. 01:04:24.614 --> 01:04:28.517 [Riv (DM)]: The elves, they're all kind of elvish in features, but 01:04:29.177 --> 01:04:45.188 [Riv (DM)]: They all have this sort of like dark grayish sort of skin like clearly um different while you know potentially still elven in the way that the sumaran elves are really of like a different sort of physical background um 01:04:47.295 --> 01:04:55.822 [Riv (DM)]: You can see in the brief bit of skin that's poking through, this person in the armor doesn't seem to have that same dark grey skin. 01:04:56.563 --> 01:05:01.047 [Riv (DM)]: It appears more lighter or pale. 01:05:02.768 --> 01:05:05.891 [Riv (DM)]: But he turns and leads you out from the throne room. 01:05:06.992 --> 01:05:07.272 [JC (Ryo)]: Rev? 01:05:07.613 --> 01:05:09.854 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: For just a fraction of a second I will turn 01:05:10.770 --> 01:05:28.785 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: To Mirileth and give a puzzling question before turning a puzzling look before turning back towards him and following not waiting for a response from her well you turn around to look back at her and she's not there oh i was gonna do something before i walked out but okay 01:05:30.171 --> 01:05:33.854 [Riv (DM)]: Well, what would, um, is there...

02:13:29.827 --> 02:13:35.211 [Riv (DM)]: You all see each other as dark elven citadel soldiers. 02:13:40.295 --> 02:13:42.956 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do the elf soldiers have a salute? 02:13:45.278 --> 02:13:47.300 [Riv (DM)]: I don't know. 02:13:47.440 --> 02:13:48.240 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Can we ask the guy? 02:13:49.081 --> 02:13:54.765 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Do you guys have a salute that you give each other so we can fit in? 02:13:56.226 --> 02:13:56.546 [Riv (DM)]: Yes. 02:13:59.034 --> 02:14:17.018 [Riv (DM)]: He like, sort of stands upright, slams one fist to his chest, um, you know, his arm across, and then his, uh, what is it, like, um, halberd on the other hand just like slams it down the ground at the same time, so chest and halberd slam together. 02:14:21.319 --> 02:14:22.159 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We don't have halberds. 02:14:22.859 --> 02:14:23.139 [Riv (DM)]: You don't. 02:14:26.340 --> 02:14:26.480 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Cool. 02:14:33.243 --> 02:14:34.463 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Good to know. 02:14:36.064 --> 02:14:36.544 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Thank you. 02:14:38.164 --> 02:14:41.545 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Lead on, kind sir. 02:14:44.166 --> 02:14:45.946 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Or I will adlib more. 02:14:48.267 --> 02:14:55.649 [Riv (DM)]: So the, if you ask, I'm saying this to the guy, he says, um, I was told to accompany you to the chambers and guard the door. 02:14:55.789 --> 02:14:58.890 [Riv (DM)]: Beyond that, I was not given any instructions, and so... 02:15:00.165 --> 02:15:04.147 [Riv (DM)]: I will assume that something is happening here, that you have agreed with the Queen? 02:15:04.747 --> 02:15:05.448 [Riv (DM)]: I don't want to know. 02:15:05.468 --> 02:15:07.549 [Riv (DM)]: Correct. 02:15:07.569 --> 02:15:08.829 [Riv (DM)]: I will be going back to my duties. 02:15:11.230 --> 02:15:14.012 [Riv (DM)]: As far as I'm concerned, our engagement has been completed. 02:15:17.233 --> 02:15:20.815 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You didn't happen to say which side of the door you'd be on when you'd be guarding, right? 02:15:23.816 --> 02:15:24.737 [Riv (DM)]: On this side, right? 02:15:24.797 --> 02:15:25.257 [Riv (DM)]: On outside. 02:15:27.353 --> 02:15:27.933 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Why is that? 02:15:28.934 --> 02:15:30.915 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You can guard from the inside, can't you? 02:15:31.576 --> 02:15:31.996 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:15:35.138 --> 02:15:42.562 [Riv (DM)]: In theory, I guess, but the idea is to guard the door to stop people from coming in and out. 02:15:42.582 --> 02:15:44.824 [Riv (DM)]: I couldn't do that very well if people were trying to break in. 02:15:45.044 --> 02:15:45.844 [Riv (DM)]: I wouldn't be able to see them. 02:15:48.126 --> 02:15:51.228 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: No, but you could bolt the door from the inside, could you not? 02:15:53.589 --> 02:15:54.890 [Riv (DM)]: I don't quite understand what you're getting at. 02:15:57.375 --> 02:16:15.871 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It's simply a suggestion that if you decide that it is in your best interest to remain inside the room, you are welcome to request food and drink for yourself while you continue to guard the room in our absence before we return. 02:16:17.392 --> 02:16:24.578 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If it's in such a case that we will not be returning, I am sure that your queen shall inform you as such. 02:16:26.233 --> 02:16:41.408 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: In the meantime, feel free to indulge yourself and yeah, very simply, as long as you're preventing people from leaving or entering the room other than us, then that's still fulfilling your requirements, is it not? 02:16:42.949 --> 02:16:45.832 [Riv (DM)]: His eyes sort of slightly narrow as they look at you. 02:16:48.452 --> 02:16:49.893 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess that's the contract, right? 02:16:49.913 --> 02:16:55.275 [Riv (DM)]: I suppose so, but I do have places to be today, unfortunately. 02:16:55.855 --> 02:17:06.220 [Riv (DM)]: Just actually one moment, he sort of like walks on past you, goes into the door, and the door sort of like closes for a moment. 02:17:06.860 --> 02:17:10.021 [Riv (DM)]: Comes back out and he's just like holding one of those purple vegetables and he's just like munching on it. 02:17:10.102 --> 02:17:13.723 [Riv (DM)]: Wanted to get another one of these. 02:17:15.044 --> 02:17:15.484 [Riv (DM)]: Fair enough. 02:17:16.795 --> 02:17:17.976 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You got places to be? 02:17:18.056 --> 02:17:19.077 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You got stuff to do? 02:17:19.897 --> 02:17:22.379 [Riv (DM)]: And I assume you have places to be and places to go as well. 02:17:22.479 --> 02:17:24.441 [Riv (DM)]: So is there any directions I can give you? 02:17:24.461 --> 02:17:27.263 [Riv (DM)]: And if not, I will be on my way. 02:17:31.306 --> 02:17:36.430 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, I don't know if it's going to be something that you personally know or if you'll be able to point us towards somewhere that may. 02:17:37.631 --> 02:17:42.995 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Potential shopping locations on our way towards potentially one of the northeast gates. 02:17:45.517 --> 02:17:46.158 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Northeast gates? 02:17:47.569 --> 02:17:51.131 [Riv (DM)]: Well, all of the... depends what sort of shopping you're after. 02:17:55.434 --> 02:17:56.975 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: General adventuring supplies. 02:17:58.116 --> 02:18:09.163 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Nothing special, just resupplying after our... you know, us obviously not being from here, so to speak. 02:18:10.163 --> 02:18:12.044 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: We have burnt through some supplies on our way here. 02:18:13.843 --> 02:18:19.111 [Riv (DM)]: Well, if you're after supplies, you probably want to go down into the Muster Yards or the Lower Warren. 02:18:19.412 --> 02:18:25.501 [Riv (DM)]: They will have all of your adventuring equipment, you know, any sort of travelling supplies and rations, so on. 02:18:27.678 --> 02:18:38.564 [Riv (DM)]: If you're after anything more valuable or more well-designed, weapons of special creation, Court Tiers. 02:18:40.285 --> 02:18:46.628 [Riv (DM)]: The nobles live, there will be a few shops that trade can be done at for such things. 02:18:47.629 --> 02:18:54.653 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Oh that's the... does that surround the entire Citadel or is that primarily towards the eastern side? 02:18:55.978 --> 02:18:58.719 [Riv (DM)]: The Court Tiers, I'm entirely circling the Citadel. 02:18:59.799 --> 02:19:00.139 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you. 02:19:02.320 --> 02:19:02.640 [Riv (DM)]: Alright. 02:19:04.240 --> 02:19:06.060 [Riv (DM)]: He, um, eyebrow raised. 02:19:07.181 --> 02:19:09.941 [Riv (DM)]: He... Waits a moment. 02:19:10.841 --> 02:19:12.502 [Riv (DM)]: Turns, and just starts walking off. 02:19:12.662 --> 02:19:15.302 [Riv (DM)]: Clearly extremely perplexed by this whole situation. 02:19:15.322 --> 02:19:17.283 [Riv (DM)]: A group of people... 02:19:18.585 --> 02:19:47.832 [Riv (DM)]: appear in an one-on-one audience with the queen of the realm who then tells him to escort to chambers and they are treating him nicely giving him food and joffy and now they ask him about shopping he is baffled to be honest sorry uh mate um just one further question how the hell did we get down what direction was it i'm sorry i was rather tired yesterday evening and i'm 02:19:48.775 --> 02:19:51.338 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I've forgotten which way it was that we took to get up here. 02:19:51.378 --> 02:19:52.559 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: I can't reverse it correctly. 02:19:53.600 --> 02:19:53.980 [Riv (DM)]: Follow me. 02:19:54.161 --> 02:19:55.422 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, I'm heading down to the main landing. 02:19:56.443 --> 02:19:56.743 [Riv (DM)]: Thank you. 02:19:57.484 --> 02:19:57.704 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:19:57.864 --> 02:19:58.785 [Riv (DM)]: And you can follow him down. 02:20:01.488 --> 02:20:01.869 [Riv (DM)]: All right. 02:20:03.130 --> 02:20:05.873 [Riv (DM)]: Um, yeah, you wander along and... 02:20:07.573 --> 02:20:12.077 [Riv (DM)]: It's a I guess a little bit of a different journey this time than before. 02:20:12.717 --> 02:20:18.823 [Riv (DM)]: Now you see other soldiers and they kind of either will sort of nod at you, occasionally one might do a salute. 02:20:20.164 --> 02:20:27.550 [Riv (DM)]: You can see a few of them kind of like almost glare. 02:20:29.251 --> 02:20:41.901 [Riv (DM)]: In the direction of Evrath you can see them like eyes just like following him but with such a large group of soldiers following him behind they just watch and don't say anything. 02:20:43.442 --> 02:20:47.765 [Riv (DM)]: You can see Evrath just kind of like glance in their direction and look forward again and also ignore them. 02:20:49.954 --> 02:20:53.838 [Riv (DM)]: It eventually takes you back down to that same landing that you recall from the previous day. 02:20:53.858 --> 02:21:02.687 [Riv (DM)]: Um, the giant, giant black doors that lead into the Citadel, held open at the moment. 02:21:03.929 --> 02:21:08.834 [Riv (DM)]: Um, sort of a group of soldiers on either side guarding. 02:21:10.356 --> 02:21:11.717 [Riv (DM)]: And, yeah. 02:21:13.251 --> 02:21:20.394 [Riv (DM)]: Evrath stops here, nods at you, and heads off in a different direction, leaving you alone with your own devices at the landing. 02:21:30.877 --> 02:21:34.739 [Lacer (Kai)]: Okay, Court Tiers or Muster Yards, people? 02:21:37.760 --> 02:21:38.800 [Lacer (Kai)]: Court Tiers is on the way. 02:21:40.460 --> 02:21:44.163 [Lacer (Kai)]: As we walk in and talk in, what exactly are we looking for? 02:21:45.904 --> 02:21:47.404 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or wanting to buy? 02:21:51.467 --> 02:21:54.989 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Honestly, I don't know if anyone actually wanted to buy anything, I'm simply providing the option on the way. 02:21:56.650 --> 02:21:57.790 [JC (Ryo)]: Never hurts to see what they got. 02:22:04.374 --> 02:22:06.355 [JC (Ryo)]: I mean, I don't even know if they'll take the coin we got. 02:22:08.016 --> 02:22:08.857 [JC (Ryo)]: That's a good point. 02:22:24.523 --> 02:22:37.371 [Lacer (Kai)]: I guess we walk down to the court tiers, the circle of the court tiers, and see if we spot any shops, magic shops, weapon shops, whatever. 02:22:37.392 --> 02:22:39.593 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:22:39.773 --> 02:22:42.435 [Riv (DM)]: Why don't we do a group investigation check? 02:22:42.815 --> 02:22:43.616 [Riv (DM)]: Or how do you want to do this? 02:22:43.636 --> 02:22:46.718 [Riv (DM)]: Are you going to ask people, or are you just going to look around for signage or something? 02:22:51.517 --> 02:22:54.398 [Lacer (Kai)]: I was going to look for signage, but I'm not sure what other people are doing. 02:22:54.898 --> 02:22:55.358 [Lacer (Kai)]: Signage. 02:22:56.119 --> 02:22:57.059 [Lacer (Kai)]: Signage, primarily. 02:22:58.499 --> 02:23:00.320 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:23:00.560 --> 02:23:02.661 [Riv (DM)]: Let's do an investigation check. 02:23:06.642 --> 02:23:09.283 [Riv (DM)]: If a couple of you are looking, you can do it with advantage as well. 02:23:10.683 --> 02:23:13.004 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah, Erendor just basically gets it for free. 02:23:14.673 --> 02:23:15.594 [Riv (DM)]: Kai does not. 02:23:16.496 --> 02:23:16.756 [Lacer (Kai)]: Like... 02:23:18.278 --> 02:23:21.561 [Lacer (Kai)]: The signs are kinda all wacky, I don't recognise anything. 02:23:21.581 --> 02:23:24.765 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, for every direction that I point, Kai points the opposite. 02:23:25.846 --> 02:23:26.607 [Lacer (Kai)]: What's over there? 02:23:30.892 --> 02:23:31.353 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 02:23:31.633 --> 02:23:32.114 [Riv (DM)]: Um... 02:23:33.209 --> 02:24:00.743 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah so up here in the court tiers there are a lot of um like noble houses clearly manors and um yeah that sort of thing all built with like much nicer materials than what the lower warrens have like it's all sort of black steel roofing and um dark stone walls that sort of thing the the sort of style of the buildings matches pretty closely the armor that you're actually wearing 02:24:01.703 --> 02:24:05.105 [Riv (DM)]: See my pointed spires and jagged corners, that sort of thing. 02:24:07.786 --> 02:24:18.292 [Riv (DM)]: In between, the ratio of manners to shopping areas, I guess, is probably quite highly leaning towards manners. 02:24:19.213 --> 02:24:26.197 [Riv (DM)]: But you do actually end up finding an area of the courtiers, shall we say. 02:24:26.217 --> 02:24:28.518 [Riv (DM)]: Let's, why don't we jump over here. 02:24:30.787 --> 02:24:39.233 [Riv (DM)]: An area of the Court Tiers, let's say over on the eastern side, as you're kind of wandering around, that looks like a little bit of a marketplace. 02:24:39.273 --> 02:24:45.798 [Riv (DM)]: You can see some pretty well-dressed elven people with their dark skin or dark grey skin. 02:24:46.878 --> 02:25:14.409 [Riv (DM)]: Sort of gathering about each of them has their own sort of array of servants like you know you might see an elven man with a couple of redcaps on either side like carrying bundles over their shoulders so as he's out there shopping and buying supplies you do see one shop that in this marketplace that is to be not selling food it's got this strange sort of arcane symbol 02:25:17.122 --> 02:25:25.245 [Riv (DM)]: That probably presents itself as something that looks like it's leaning towards mystical or magical supplies. 02:25:26.425 --> 02:25:37.670 [Riv (DM)]: As you are walking down the market square though, you see like the people here like immediately are looking in your direction and like sort of parting in front of you. 02:25:38.230 --> 02:25:41.911 [Riv (DM)]: They'll like step aside and just kind of watch you as this group of soldiers goes by. 02:25:41.931 --> 02:25:46.453 [Riv (DM)]: How do you react as this happens?

02:46:09.835 --> 02:46:10.655 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Evrath. 02:46:10.915 --> 02:46:11.375 [Vael (Berberis)]: Evrath. 02:46:11.456 --> 02:46:13.876 [Vael (Berberis)]: Stand for Evrath, he'll sort this shit out if he needs to. 02:46:15.497 --> 02:46:17.598 [Vael (Berberis)]: We offered barter and he left. 02:46:28.682 --> 02:46:32.663 [Riv (DM)]: The voice comes, drop everything in the center of the room. 02:46:34.175 --> 02:46:38.660 [Riv (DM)]: Any weapons you have, show them and relinquish them. 02:46:43.324 --> 02:46:51.993 [Riv (DM)]: That includes anything you stuffed into that pretty bag you've got there, as he would have seen when you guys were filling things up into the bag of holding. 02:47:11.752 --> 02:47:13.893 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I love it when time stops. 02:47:13.933 --> 02:47:15.574 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Yeah. 02:47:15.914 --> 02:47:17.815 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: We just not do anything for a while. 02:47:21.317 --> 02:47:24.178 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The voice sounds, was it from one of them, or? 02:47:25.779 --> 02:47:26.679 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, by the guy. 02:47:28.320 --> 02:47:33.383 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Okay, the implication was that it was someone saying it in Ryo's ear, somewhat invisible. 02:47:34.623 --> 02:47:35.064 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: A voice. 02:47:37.505 --> 02:47:37.965 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Wait, what? 02:47:40.420 --> 02:47:42.381 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Don't worry, he didn't say who said it so we assumed. 02:47:44.962 --> 02:47:48.764 [Riv (DM)]: Place the items on the ground and step back. 02:47:49.825 --> 02:47:53.167 [Lacer (Kai)]: I place the boots on the ground and I step back. 02:47:54.567 --> 02:48:03.172 [JC (Ryo)]: I take the potion that was in my hand that I was trying to put on the counter back in the crate and put it on the ground for him. 02:48:03.192 --> 02:48:04.673 [Riv (DM)]: I want to know who you are. 02:48:05.738 --> 02:48:11.262 [Riv (DM)]: And why you thought that you could come into the shop and barter with material-run currency. 02:48:13.863 --> 02:48:25.891 [Riv (DM)]: Any soldier who works in this citadel would not have this gold, any sort of like gestures flagrantly to the gold coins that were placed on the bench. 02:48:27.812 --> 02:48:28.833 [Riv (DM)]: So either you are 02:48:30.557 --> 02:48:38.481 [Riv (DM)]: Liars and traitors who have been bought off by someone from the outside and foolish enough to try and use that currency here in the city. 02:48:40.082 --> 02:48:42.744 [Riv (DM)]: All your outsiders who know not of our ways. 02:48:46.226 --> 02:48:46.686 [Riv (DM)]: Which is it? 02:48:46.706 --> 02:48:51.068 [Vael (Berberis)]: I mean it's pretty obvious it's the second. 02:48:52.729 --> 02:48:55.531 [Riv (DM)]: And how have you come to be so equipped in our gear? 02:48:57.331 --> 02:48:58.172 [Riv (DM)]: And why be so? 02:48:59.932 --> 02:49:01.833 [Lacer (Kai)]: You'll need to ask... 02:49:01.853 --> 02:49:06.156 [Vael (Berberis)]: There's only one power in the city that has that power. 02:49:08.517 --> 02:49:10.058 [Vael (Berberis)]: We have already answered that question. 02:49:12.199 --> 02:49:15.501 [Vael (Berberis)]: Should we send it up the chain and get her involved? 02:49:17.502 --> 02:49:22.285 [Riv (DM)]: You want me to believe that you're on some secret mission from the Queen, outsiders? 02:49:26.453 --> 02:49:30.455 [Vael (Berberis)]: There are things that need to be done that can't be seen to be done. 02:49:38.519 --> 02:49:38.839 [Vael (Berberis)]: Go on. 02:49:38.859 --> 02:49:40.340 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do you have a magical capability?

02:50:09.573 --> 02:50:09.754 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 02:50:11.555 --> 02:50:15.117 [Riv (DM)]: He, um, the soldier here spits on the ground. 02:50:17.414 --> 02:50:17.814 [Riv (DM)]: Evrath. 02:50:18.975 --> 02:50:19.575 [Riv (DM)]: That pet. 02:50:20.096 --> 02:50:21.317 [Riv (DM)]: I care not for what he thinks. 02:50:22.818 --> 02:50:24.239 [Riv (DM)]: I care about the protection of the city. 02:50:33.024 --> 02:50:43.011 [Vael (Berberis)]: You don't want a Caradocs, are you? 02:50:43.591 --> 02:50:44.412 [Riv (DM)]: You don't get a response to this. 02:50:55.682 --> 02:51:21.476 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: See now think on this what is more likely outsiders who are expendable to your queen and know people who you necessarily don't particularly care for but as you said is effectively the queen's pet um 02:51:23.009 --> 02:51:52.645 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: are to be working for your queen and simply made a mistake in their dealings with trying to resupply before completing mission for the queen versus outsiders attempting to you know attempting to infiltrate magically happening a full set of your armor yeah like what's simply more likely 02:51:54.628 --> 02:52:06.974 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If we were attempting to infiltrate, would we not have run out the back, the door that is ajar out back right now, the moment we heard you?

Yeah, I think it's ten, is it ten minutes? 03:19:16.005 --> 03:19:17.426 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: That's 10 minutes to cast it. 03:19:18.087 --> 03:19:19.748 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, it's a duration. 03:19:19.848 --> 03:19:21.169 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, it does last for 10 minutes. 03:19:21.369 --> 03:19:23.271 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, concentration up to 10 minutes. 03:19:23.791 --> 03:19:25.092 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, cool, so remember that. 03:19:25.172 --> 03:19:26.673 [Riv (DM)]: You can keep it for 10 minutes. 03:19:26.693 --> 03:19:27.254 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's pretty huge. 03:19:27.274 --> 03:19:30.256 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's got a 30-foot sphere, so it's 30-foot radius. 03:19:33.438 --> 03:19:34.960 [Vael (Berberis)]: It is blocked by barriers, though. 03:19:35.780 --> 03:19:36.141 [Vael (Berberis)]: True. 03:19:36.321 --> 03:19:38.803 [Vael (Berberis)]: Up to a certain volume of material. 03:19:39.063 --> 03:19:42.385 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Come on, why would there be bones in the barrow fields? 03:19:44.207 --> 03:19:44.467 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: Gah. 03:19:45.448 --> 03:19:46.048 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:19:47.028 --> 03:19:51.890 [Lacer (Kai)]: Can I ping my shield for the Moonsense? 03:19:52.030 --> 03:19:53.690 [Lacer (Kai)]: I just want to see if there's anything around here. 03:19:54.050 --> 03:19:55.090 [Riv (DM)]: Oh yeah. 03:19:56.311 --> 03:20:01.452 [Riv (DM)]: So that... Let me just remind myself of the mechanic. 03:20:01.552 --> 03:20:06.413 [Riv (DM)]: It points you in the direction of the nearest moonstone, right? 03:20:07.373 --> 03:20:07.793 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah. 03:20:09.474 --> 03:20:11.134 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's gonna point back to the throne room, isn't it? 03:20:14.020 --> 03:20:36.501 [Riv (DM)]: It might not even be on this plane so you know I don't know yeah you get the feeling that it's um kind of confused it's almost tugging you in every direction at once like it's sort of just vibrating and pulling in every direction all right spinning in circles at least I tried I just wanted to try it if there's anything around um cool it's good to know yeah 03:20:38.123 --> 03:20:58.254 [Riv (DM)]: All right cool so here we are we're on the outskirts of the city we are undisguised what are we doing or if you guys like um this next bit might be 03:21:00.812 --> 03:21:01.793 [Riv (DM)]: A good chunk. 03:21:02.934 --> 03:21:10.199 [Riv (DM)]: Do you want to pause here for the session or do you want to go for just a little bit more and do a bit of exploration first? 03:21:10.219 --> 03:21:10.820 [Riv (DM)]: How are you feeling? 03:21:14.502 --> 03:21:16.804 [JC (Ryo)]: I was just about to say I was going to start scouting around. 03:21:18.285 --> 03:21:20.787 [JC (Ryo)]: Like we know from where we are which direction the 03:21:21.767 --> 03:21:24.148 [JC (Ryo)]: The hag should be in the barrow ring, don't we? 03:21:24.988 --> 03:21:30.349 [Riv (DM)]: You can trace her steps pretty much exactly the same way that you went the first time yesterday when you saw her. 03:21:31.110 --> 03:21:36.831 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do we roughly have an idea of how long it would take to travel through the barrow ring to get to her barrow? 03:21:37.431 --> 03:21:41.432 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, it was probably about a 30 to 40 minute walk from the main road. 03:21:42.333 --> 03:21:43.533 [Vael (Berberis)]: So we got a fair distance. 03:21:43.853 --> 03:21:44.013 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:21:50.635 --> 03:22:13.098 [Vael (Berberis)]: Um the idea of sneaking up on her is great but i just do not like our chances of the problem with big powerful magic users is they're big powerful magic users but the chances of us like sneaking up on her in my out of character opinion are quite low hmm yeah i couldn't agree more 03:22:14.173 --> 03:22:16.153 [Vael (Berberis)]: The magic users have the power to warp reality. 03:22:16.193 --> 03:22:19.314 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's not like you're gonna like sneak up and jump through their window. 03:22:19.334 --> 03:22:22.875 [Vael (Berberis)]: They'll have wards and scouts and all sorts of shit. 03:22:23.615 --> 03:22:24.975 [Lacer (Kai)]: Or familiars like we do. 03:22:24.995 --> 03:22:25.695 [Lacer (Kai)]: I don't know. 03:22:25.715 --> 03:22:27.535 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah, you go through the window, you come down the chimney. 03:22:28.996 --> 03:22:30.396 [Lacer (Kai)]: Right into the cauldron, right? 03:22:32.816 --> 03:22:35.137 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You dig a tunnel and come in through the fireplace. 03:22:35.397 --> 03:22:37.717 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: The cauldron doesn't go under the chimney, jeez. 03:22:38.297 --> 03:22:39.757 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: At that point it's directly over the flames. 03:22:39.777 --> 03:22:40.838 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You don't want that. 03:22:41.098 --> 03:22:43.098 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: You want the coals, not the flames. 03:22:46.066 --> 03:22:48.628 [Lacer (Kai)]: Anyway, shall we make our way to the Barrow? 03:22:49.189 --> 03:22:50.470 [Riv (DM)]: Is Deathmouse a secret witch? 03:22:52.772 --> 03:22:54.554 [Riv (DM)]: How does he know that? 03:22:54.594 --> 03:23:04.443 [Riv (DM)]: You sound far too knowledgeable. 03:23:04.523 --> 03:23:05.684 [Vael (Berberis)]: Okay, cool. 03:23:05.884 --> 03:23:08.566 [Vael (Berberis)]: I don't think there's any point trying to be super super sneaky beaky. 03:23:10.918 --> 03:23:21.345 [Vael (Berberis)]: I will also advise people that when we do engage or enter her room that we should all be nicely spaced out so that we are not clustered and we're able to cover each other. 03:23:22.406 --> 03:23:26.388 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What if we walk in and we say, Honey, I'm home! 03:23:26.408 --> 03:23:31.392 [Vael (Berberis)]: Alright. 03:23:31.492 --> 03:23:33.853 [Vael (Berberis)]: Do we still have the amulet she gave us? 03:23:34.314 --> 03:23:36.395 [Vael (Berberis)]: No, the queen dissolved that. 03:23:38.404 --> 03:23:38.924 [Vael (Berberis)]: It was nothing. 03:23:39.565 --> 03:23:40.205 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, it was... 03:23:41.326 --> 03:23:42.167 [Vael (Berberis)]: It's turned to dust. 03:23:42.687 --> 03:23:44.869 [Vael (Berberis)]: And shit was never gonna work if she treated it like that. 03:23:46.250 --> 03:23:52.855 [Riv (DM)]: Oh, no, I was gonna say we use it on the hag, but... Well, remember, it was the vial inside it that you were meant to throw. 03:23:52.895 --> 03:23:53.736 [Riv (DM)]: She took the vial. 03:23:55.137 --> 03:23:55.957 [Riv (DM)]: Destroyed the amulet. 03:24:01.802 --> 03:24:03.423 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, I'm gonna have the bat... 03:24:05.033 --> 03:24:21.070 [Lacer (Kai)]: Fly around us within a tight 20 foot ring, circle around us, and I'm gonna periodically use the blindsight to keep eyes if anything is invisible. 03:24:21.911 --> 03:24:48.749 [Riv (DM)]: that may be in our range as we take the next 30 to 40 minutes getting to the place we need to go all right cool um we're gonna traverse the barrow ring um i assume we want to be trying to avoid detection i will let you make a group stealth roll with advantage if um since we've got the bat leading the way that's able to keep an eye out for any creatures that might be watching 03:24:50.157 --> 03:25:14.367 [JC (Ryo)]: yeah and i've got a free pass without a trace so i've got one free one so i'll throw that out as well oh nice all right sweet group stealth check with advantage and a plus 10. sure watch Erendor just like pass into a different dimension i get a 10 to that 28. 03:25:19.278 --> 03:25:45.135 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: it's only a 36 what oh nice oh 40 sorry plus 10. oh i thought i rolled less disappear from my view have we got a dwarf as well just in case we get a natural one a natural one it's possible spoilerless ambassador 03:25:45.838 --> 03:25:49.400 [Lacer (Kai)]: He'll have to get two because he's got those boots, those elven boots. 03:25:50.400 --> 03:25:51.421 [Riv (DM)]: It'll be a 1 in 40 chance. 03:25:53.242 --> 03:25:55.223 [JC (Ryo)]: Bruce has given us advantage, so roll it twice. 03:25:57.284 --> 03:25:58.585 [JC (Ryo)]: Gondar's always got advantage. 03:26:01.466 --> 03:26:01.907 [Lacer (Kai)]: Alright, cool. 03:26:01.927 --> 03:26:02.167 [Lacer (Kai)]: Do I? 03:26:02.727 --> 03:26:03.147 [Lacer (Kai)]: No, I don't. 03:26:03.167 --> 03:26:05.228 [Lacer (Kai)]: You got the boots, the elven boots. 03:26:06.089 --> 03:26:08.070 [Riv (DM)]: Well, I think that's for moving with sound, right? 03:26:09.831 --> 03:26:10.371 [Riv (DM)]: Or visual checks. 03:26:10.391 --> 03:26:11.532 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I like this stuff, actually. 03:26:12.192 --> 03:26:13.973 [Riv (DM)]: The visual checks, I don't think those work. 03:26:15.948 --> 03:26:16.588 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, sound. 03:26:16.828 --> 03:26:17.449 [Riv (DM)]: Sound related. 03:26:17.689 --> 03:26:17.909 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah. 03:26:17.929 --> 03:26:18.469 [Riv (DM)]: Alright, cool. 03:26:18.489 --> 03:26:18.969 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just gonna roll. 03:26:18.989 --> 03:26:21.010 [JC (Ryo)]: You also have advantage on dexterity stealth checks. 03:26:21.730 --> 03:26:23.371 [JC (Ryo)]: Yeah, he's got permanent advantage. 03:26:23.931 --> 03:26:24.091 Yep. 03:26:25.191 --> 03:26:26.812 [Riv (DM)]: I'm just gonna roll a couple things. 03:26:29.873 --> 03:26:32.874 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I don't think Riv has ever let me use it for that, though. 03:26:34.660 --> 03:26:37.563 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: It depends on exactly the circumstances of the stealth check. 03:26:38.323 --> 03:26:43.167 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If it's a case of sound and alerting others to where you are, yes. 03:26:43.588 --> 03:26:47.751 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If it's a case of moving past someone without being seen, no. 03:26:49.332 --> 03:26:56.778 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: What I have at the Cloak of Elvenkind being visual camouflage and not sound works slightly differently. 03:26:57.079 --> 03:26:58.520 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: They're like inversions of each other. 03:26:59.561 --> 03:26:59.781 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yeah. 03:27:03.931 --> 03:27:04.693 [Riv (DM)]: Oh man, okay. 03:27:05.995 --> 03:27:06.837 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Alright, cool. 03:27:06.897 --> 03:27:07.999 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Someone rolled a nat 20. 03:27:09.442 --> 03:27:11.706 [Riv (DM)]: Actually, I rolled two natural ones on my d20 here. 03:27:11.726 --> 03:27:11.966 [Riv (DM)]: So yeah. 03:27:13.209 --> 03:27:15.052 [Riv (DM)]: I think you guys are good. 03:27:18.853 --> 03:27:21.934 [Riv (DM)]: I've rolled a bunch of other things as well, but it was just funny, I sort of took two ones. 03:27:22.114 --> 03:27:26.615 [Lacer (Kai)]: He's getting all the bad rolls out first before combat. 03:27:27.075 --> 03:27:38.738 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, so you can more or less follow the same path that Caradoc took you the previous day, except this time you're going to be much more careful, rather than just kind of heading straight down through the ring. 03:27:39.278 --> 03:27:47.000 [Riv (DM)]: You can stick to the shadows, you can go in between large rocks or get up over top of a barrow to avoid the cave entrances and so on. 03:27:49.200 --> 03:27:57.564 [Riv (DM)]: Eventually you get closer and closer to the familiar large dark looking mound ahead that you recall has the cavernous entrance. 03:27:59.725 --> 03:28:08.190 [Riv (DM)]: I think we'll stop, shall we say 100 feet out from the entrance and you guys can decide. 03:28:10.491 --> 03:28:10.731 [Riv (DM)]: Cool. 03:28:30.555 --> 03:28:35.987 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, I think the next one will be a drawn-out combat, and I don't know if any of us have the brain at the moment for that. 03:28:38.373 --> 03:28:38.513 [JC (Ryo)]: Yep. 03:28:38.794 --> 03:28:40.497 [JC (Ryo)]: I'll be honest, I didn't have it when we started. 03:28:42.547 --> 03:29:10.486 [Riv (DM)]: do you want to should we stop here then or do you want to maybe poke a little bit further into the entrance or maybe this is a good place to stop because then you can also think about how you might want to approach it this is the intelligent place to stop yeah considering our choices today cool all right no no it's good let's stop here you guys can chat in your group chat around ways you might want to approach it um i guess i would say 03:29:12.357 --> 03:29:30.607 [Riv (DM)]: roll a um i mean it was only it was only yesterday when you're in the cavern yesterday you would have seen like cracks and small openings and stuff in the roof of the cavern like um there is there was a lot of fumes and smoke from the different cauldrons that were cooking away 03:29:31.347 --> 03:29:57.315 [Riv (DM)]: um and you wouldn't be able to just do that if it was entirely enclosed so looking up you're like gnarled roots coming in through the sides of the cavern and from the ceiling um and you know up above you might see in between some of the roots are like opening so in theory you might have been able to spot it a different way to drop in from above as well or there's the main entrance but yeah have a bit of a ponder um yeah 03:29:59.607 --> 03:30:01.809 [JC (Ryo)]: I was going to say, I'm casting that before we go in as well. 03:30:02.330 --> 03:30:04.192 [JC (Ryo)]: I was just looking at it so that I remembered that I had it. 03:30:04.372 --> 03:30:04.552 [Riv (DM)]: Yep. 03:30:04.912 --> 03:30:05.473 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, good idea. 03:30:05.533 --> 03:30:07.275 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, have a think about all the prep and stuff you want to do. 03:30:07.795 --> 03:30:11.319 [Riv (DM)]: And we'll pretty much, I think, get straight into it on the next one. 03:30:12.620 --> 03:30:12.880 [Riv (DM)]: Sweet. 03:30:13.701 --> 03:30:14.041 [Riv (DM)]: Very cool. 03:30:14.182 --> 03:30:14.602 [Riv (DM)]: We'll end there. 03:30:15.543 --> 03:30:16.564 [Riv (DM)]: All right, well, man. 03:30:18.646 --> 03:30:22.430 [Riv (DM)]: I thought that the back half of the session was going to be pretty much combat, but... 03:30:23.983 --> 03:30:41.133 [Riv (DM)]: Oh man, we hit one of those things where like, me as someone also experiencing the story of you guys, I want to also, you know, see what comes next, but like, I can't just like, I don't know, I can't just... Railroad us straight to the fight. 03:30:41.153 --> 03:30:41.393 [Lacer (Kai)]: TDK. 03:30:41.493 --> 03:30:41.693 [Lacer (Kai)]: TDK. 03:30:42.013 --> 03:30:49.398 [Riv (DM)]: No, no, what I mean is I can't just treat the NPCs, you know... As complete idiots. 03:30:49.418 --> 03:30:50.338 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, exactly. 03:30:50.418 --> 03:30:53.080 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: You can't just let us use muggle money. 03:30:53.942 --> 03:31:02.970 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I can't leave you guys just like go in and break the rules of society just for the sake of because you guys are the main characters of the story or whatever. 03:31:03.430 --> 03:31:05.312 [Riv (DM)]: Imagine it from the perspective of this dude. 03:31:06.993 --> 03:31:12.478 [Riv (DM)]: First of all, it's pretty weird having soldiers come to the shop asking to do some shopping when they're in their like full gear. 03:31:13.119 --> 03:31:16.361 [Riv (DM)]: And then secondly, just putting like coins of gold on the table. 03:31:17.302 --> 03:31:18.863 [Riv (DM)]: People in the fae wild don't use coins. 03:31:19.851 --> 03:31:45.233 [Riv (DM)]: and i guess it was potentially a bit unfair of me to um smash you guys with that and and just like go into a bit of a consequence but ultimately i guess the characters themselves wouldn't know would they right yeah exactly like you might have maybe wanted to have asked people or something before but hey we should have asked the guard we should have asked the guard for info yeah he was there all night what do they use for money 03:31:46.433 --> 03:31:47.253 [Riv (DM)]: We don't ask. 03:31:47.273 --> 03:31:48.154 [Lacer (Kai)]: We didn't ask. 03:31:49.834 --> 03:31:55.716 [Riv (DM)]: So, if you recall, Sumara, you did buy some stuff of gold. 03:31:56.516 --> 03:31:57.596 [Riv (DM)]: There's a difference there, right? 03:31:58.337 --> 03:32:01.197 [Riv (DM)]: The Sumaran society is sort of a jewel society. 03:32:01.297 --> 03:32:06.799 [Riv (DM)]: Half of their people live in Ithilmara, back in the material realm as well, and they're often passing back and forth. 03:32:06.879 --> 03:32:10.140 [Riv (DM)]: So, coins and currency is something that they use. 03:32:11.620 --> 03:32:13.281 [Vael (Berberis)]: Well, they aren't, but they were. 03:32:15.458 --> 03:32:18.501 [Vael (Berberis)]: So yeah, it's probably been out of circulation for how many hundred years? 03:32:18.901 --> 03:32:22.884 [Lacer (Kai)]: It's still traded amongst themselves. 03:32:23.185 --> 03:32:31.231 [Riv (DM)]: But it's just part of society, you know, like they would still use it just even though, you know, they aren't taking back the material realm that the society itself is still using as a currency anyway. 03:32:32.513 --> 03:32:36.476 [Riv (DM)]: Whereas these guys out here in the Eternal Night, they don't give a shit about the material realm. 03:32:38.097 --> 03:32:40.880 [Riv (DM)]: And in fact, it's actually... That's why they have traders. 03:32:41.573 --> 03:33:02.202 [Riv (DM)]: It's actually pretty dangerous for fae creatures to trade little bits of metal because it's pretty non-trick to give someone a true iron coin and if they are of a particular fae bloodline it could quite severely injure them. 03:33:03.422 --> 03:33:05.603 [Riv (DM)]: Generally they wouldn't be passing around coinage. 03:33:10.018 --> 03:33:11.859 [Riv (DM)]: But yeah, man, I was just like... That's not ideal. 03:33:12.439 --> 03:33:14.601 [Riv (DM)]: Yeah, I was just like, god damn. 03:33:15.461 --> 03:33:17.282 [Riv (DM)]: I need to fuck these guys right now, I have to. 03:33:20.204 --> 03:33:22.845 [Riv (DM)]: I was looking at the clock and I was like, oh boy, here we go. 03:33:22.865 --> 03:33:25.386 [Riv (DM)]: Always, um... 03:33:26.407 --> 03:33:30.849 [Riv (DM)]: Always missing the expected timelines, but that's fine. 03:33:31.390 --> 03:33:31.790 [Riv (DM)]: It was good. 03:33:31.970 --> 03:33:33.431 [Riv (DM)]: It was actually kind of fun, to be honest. 03:33:34.071 --> 03:33:35.192 [Riv (DM)]: It's like, you know... 03:33:36.752 --> 03:34:01.951 [Riv (DM)]: you are in a uh very hostile evil city like these aren't it's not just like another good guy's city this is full of people who would happily rip you to pieces if they found out who you were um yep yep the queen who knows the queen's motives but she sees some benefit from you maybe slightly less benefit now but um that you know she's uh 03:34:02.869 --> 03:34:08.633 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Maybe not less benefit, but just more of a, oh, fucking hell. 03:34:10.034 --> 03:34:14.917 [Vael (Berberis)]: Our introduction to her was us walking in and going, hey, we've been contracted to kill you by this person. 03:34:14.957 --> 03:34:16.899 [Vael (Berberis)]: Here's the weapon that we were contracted to kill you with. 03:34:18.119 --> 03:34:20.801 [Vael (Berberis)]: I mean, we are a blunt fucking tool. 03:34:21.502 --> 03:34:23.343 [Vael (Berberis)]: We made that pretty obvious from the beginning. 03:34:24.316 --> 03:34:25.397 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Yep. 03:34:25.437 --> 03:34:29.099 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, and she didn't give us the information we needed to get through this. 03:34:30.600 --> 03:34:32.261 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: At no point, I believe so. 03:34:32.281 --> 03:34:34.002 [Lacer (Kai)]: Oh, she did help us. 03:34:34.963 --> 03:34:36.844 [Lacer (Kai)]: She helped us, we just kind of fucked up. 03:34:37.285 --> 03:34:40.347 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: She gave us some tooling, but not all the tooling we required. 03:34:41.127 --> 03:34:44.469 [Riv (DM)]: I mean, like, do you think she should have said, here, I'm gonna transform you into guards. 03:34:44.770 --> 03:34:47.491 [Riv (DM)]: By the way, don't go shopping, because it won't end well. 03:34:47.571 --> 03:34:49.793 [Riv (DM)]: Like, it's just kind of like... 03:34:50.592 --> 03:34:55.336 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Look, we didn't give her a reason to say that, so uh... no? 03:34:55.876 --> 03:34:59.579 [Lacer (Kai)]: But... She probably didn't care about those things, to be honest. 03:35:01.820 --> 03:35:02.581 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: What is money? 03:35:02.941 --> 03:35:04.883 [Kiwi (Dondar)]: I have all the power in the world. 03:35:05.543 --> 03:35:08.766 [Lacer (Kai)]: Yeah, she doesn't care about money, so... yeah. 03:35:11.367 --> 03:35:18.373 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: If, like, after this, even if we succeed in this next section completely, she's still gonna turn up and go, 03:35:19.740 --> 03:35:24.204 [Deathmouse (Eryndor)]: Honestly, I'm kind of surprised you got through this. 03:35:26.066 --> 03:35:28.368 [Vael (Berberis)]: I mean, this is only, this is the easy part of the job. 03:35:29.269 --> 03:35:32.652 [Vael (Berberis)]: Yeah, I know, this is the very, this is the easiest part, yeah. 03:35:33.373 --> 03:35:36.536 [Lacer (Kai)]: Admittedly, the next part of the job, we can't fuck that up. 03:35:37.233 --> 03:35:37.613 [Riv (DM)]: Hmm. 03:35:38.173 --> 03:35:39.354 [Lacer (Kai)]: Neither can the other part. 03:35:39.434 --> 03:35:42.436 [Riv (DM)]: Do you mean the hells or the...
