c1ep2 - Fragmented Memories pt.1

Our heroes wake up in rice fields unable to remember how they got there, finding themselves in a village that seems eerily different from what they recall. With memories of a tavern that no one acknowledges exists, they must work together to uncover what's happening to them.

Trust your instincts when something feels wrong. What appears to be real might be an illusion designed to trap you.

Story Recap: Mysterious Encounters

Speaker 1 0:44

back Wonders . The journey began with Shusui returning to the Shrine of Pavos , a place of quiet reverence and destined memories . There he met Elder Tubb , an old acquaintance , and the elder of Douwang Village . As they walked toward Douwang Village , elder Tubb confided in Shusui , speaking of a restlessness in the spirits , a shift in the balance that he could feel but not explain . Shu Sui , though wary from his travels , agreed to lend his aid where he could Elsewhere .

Speaker 1 1:17

Black Sky and Wak Nu found themselves appearing out of thin air near a small village unfamiliar to them . The village itself seemed ordinary enough Simple wooden homes , rice paddies stretching toward the horizons . But there was something off . The people watched them with wary eyes . Their conversations hushed their movements . Cautious , seeking shelter , they made their way deeper into the village . Their search for a place to rest was cut short when a commotion broke out in the market square A dispute between a one-armed monk and a merchant . At the heart of the argument , a cursed pot that radiated an unsettling aura . Before they could make sense of the situation , a spectral force erupted from the pot , its rage twisting into form an angry spirit flanked by shifting shadowy figures . Shusui , drawn by the sound of battle , joined their fray , standing beside Black Sky and Wagnu . Together , the three of them , bound not by fate but by necessity , fought back the vengeful spirits .

Speaker 1 2:19

With the dust settled and the last echoes of battle fading , the one-armed monk introduced himself as JieA . Grateful for their help , he treated them to food and lodging at the Carved Horn Tavern . For a time , all seemed well Drinks were poured , foods were shared , questions were asked , but none seemed to lead anywhere . Then , slowly , the world began to tilt . Shusui and Wagnu felt something strange . They started to get drowsy and their bodies hit the table unconscious . Black sky , still awake , felt the weight in the air . Something was wrong . He turned to Gia and he saw it Gia's eyes glowing , an eerie yellow , with the last words I want you gone and that's where we left off . So first I'm gonna need Chris and Jor . Can you guys mute ? Or can you guys , like , deafen your mic or your headphone , whatever ? So you guys can't hear anything . So I'll do this to bring you guys back in , all right ?

Speaker 2 3:30

you guys can't hear anything right .

Speaker 1 3:32

Test , test the tension . The air is thick , almost suffocating . The warmth of the fire flickers , unable to hold back the creeping shadows coiling at the edges of the room . The only sounds you can hear are the crackling of the hearth and the steady , rhythmic breathing of Wagnu and Shusui . Black sky . You remain upright . You feel heaviness clawing at your senses , but you resist . Across from you , you see GA sitting one elbow propped on the table and his expression unreadable . His single hand casually swerves a cup of rice wine as if nothing unusual has happened . When he lifts his gaze , his eyes are glowing a deep , unsettling yellow . What do you do ?

Speaker 2 4:29

Uh , can I check if ? Uh , shisui and um , oh , my god , I forgot Jorah's character's name .

Speaker 1 4:42

Wagnu .

Speaker 2 4:43

Yeah , can I check for their pulse ?

Speaker 1 4:46

Let's see if they're breathing . Yeah , you can do a medicine check if you want . So you go to your stat sheet and just look for the medicine skill . Okay , go ahead and roll me a first roll of d20 .

Speaker 2 5:00

I will do a medicine check . Twelve With the modifier .

Speaker 1 5:09

Yeah , you go down and right as you kind of put your hand where the throat right here . Is that what you're doing ? Yeah , you try to feel a pulse from Wagnu and everything seems fine . He just seems like he's just unconscious for now , but he's , he's alive . Um , you hear jay kind of like do like a little , uh , like a little laugh , like don't worry , I didn't kill him , he just knocked out . Okay .

Speaker 2 5:43

So I'll go to the bench where LGA is and I'll sit across from him . I ask him what do you want ?

Speaker 1 5:56

It's easy really . You see , you don't belong here . None of you do . I just want you to get out . I just want you gone .

Speaker 2 6:14

That's not a problem . I'll take what I do and we'll get out as soon as dawn rises . As far as the other guy goes , I don't really know . He's not our problem .

Speaker 1 6:25

You see , that's probably why you didn't knock out . You're a smart one , I can tell . I've seen your kind before . Someone who looked just like you came to this village someone like me , huh yeah same horns , same eyes , someone like me ? Huh yeah , same horns . Same eyes Tell me where he is and we'll leave right now . Ah , I don't think you're in a spot to make some demands right now . He kind of just takes up his cup and sip it real fast . He pours one and it flicks towards you . Take a drink .

Speaker 2 7:17

It's good .

Speaker 1 7:21

I pick up the drink and I sip on it . Good right , it's the best rice wine in Yuping .

Speaker 2 7:27

What do you want from us ? If you just want us to leave , we'll leave , that's no problem . Like I said , just tell me where the other guy is and we'll leave .

Speaker 1 7:40

I don't believe you . You're just like every outsider that has come through you , ping . I know what you want . You want the element , don't you ? Is that why you're here ? What other reason ? Would you ? Guys have to be here and you Ping . What other reason would you guys have to cross the nakua pass ? No one does that .

Speaker 2 8:08

No one leaves and no one comes in old man . We don't want no element , we just want to get out of here at this point . Tell me where the other guys and we'll leave , wagnu and I . We have no affiliation . We don't even know where we're at right now , we just want to rest . We had a long day . I don't know what you did . Just wake wagnu up and you could do whatever you want with shisui . Seems like he's from this village . Actually , speaking of the element , what is the element ?

Speaker 1 8:48

You're playing with me .

Speaker 2 8:53

Are you serious ? No , I'm pretty sure none of us knows what the element is . Roll me a persuasion check . Persuasion check , okay .

Speaker 1 9:02

Just to see if he believes you or not .

Speaker 2 9:03

All right persuasion check , okay , just to see if he believes you or not . Alright , 19 with the modifier Okay .

Speaker 1 9:15

He kind of leans back on his chair . So you really don't want the elements . Huh , then why are you here ? What made you and your buddy over there come to you , pink , if not for the elements ?

Speaker 2 9:34

Me and Wagnu met on the way here to the village . Wagnu is looking for his village . Me Speaking of the other guy sounds like my brother . I'm looking for him .

Speaker 1 9:49

Your brother huh .

Speaker 4 9:52

I I .

Speaker 1 9:56

I find it hard to believe Now . I believe that you don't understand anything about the elements . I believe that you don't want the elements , that you don't understand anything about the elements . I believe that you don't want the elements . Yeah , your brother . He passed through here . If he is your brother , if he's the same one I'm talking about , or I'm thinking of right now , I don't think you wanna find him .

Speaker 2 10:18

And why is that ?

Speaker 1 10:22

Right as he asked , that you start to feel like a pulling sensation that drags at your chest and your chest starts to get tighter and tighter . You see , the tavern kind of starts to fade out a little bit , the air starts to get cold and then you start to smell the scent of damp rice fields and morning dew . You kind of open your eyes a little bit and you're outside as black sky . As you kind of your eyes are opening up , you see two figures walking towards you and you see next to you on the side are wagnu and shisui , who are still knocked out oh , um .

Speaker 2 11:18

Can I try to wake him up ?

Speaker 1 11:21

yeah , who are you waking up first ? I will wake up wagnu first . Okay , you wake up wagnu , and wagnu starts to wake up hey , hey , wagnu , wake up , get up .

Speaker 2 11:34

What ? What happened ? Another shot ? I don't . No , we're not at the end anymore . I don't know where we're at take a look around , wait what .

Speaker 5 11:43

What's going , what the heck is going on I don't know .

Speaker 2 11:48

It turned around and , uh , we're out in the rice fields okay , where's um ?

Speaker 5 11:55

where's that other ? Where's those other guys ? He's right next to us .

Speaker 2 11:58

He's asleep too okay we should wake him up . He's right next to us . He's asleep too , okay .

Speaker 1 12:07

We should wake him up . Are we restrained right now ?

Speaker 5 12:10

No , you guys are not restrained . Okay , okay , yeah , can I go over and tap him ?

Speaker 1 12:14

Yeah , shake him a little bit . You tap Shusui and Shusui begins to wake up .

Speaker 6 12:22

What happened ?

Speaker 5 12:26

I have no clue , but I'm pretty sure it was that guy that gave us the drinks .

Speaker 6 12:32

I look around . Is that damn dog here , or did he ditch me ?

Speaker 1 12:41

Roll me a perception check .

Speaker 6 12:43

Oh , man , alright , Plus four 16 .

Speaker 1 12:51

16 . You look to your left and you see him , your dog that has no name . He's playing in the rice paddies right now . You see he has his white fur coat is getting like brown with mud .

Speaker 6 13:17

I just snap and try to get him to come over here .

Speaker 1 13:22

Go ahead and roll me an animal handling check .

Speaker 6 13:26

Okay , that's also plus four , that's a lot Six For real . That was a six .

Speaker 1 13:35

A six . It doesn't hear you . It's way too distracted by the butterflies flying around .

Speaker 6 13:44

I just groan and then I check and make sure I have everything .

Speaker 5 13:49

I like to do that too .

Speaker 1 13:51

Yeah , you pat yourself down . You guys have all your belongings on you still . While you're doing that , you do notice that nothing seems to be out of the norm , you know , and you guys do gain a short rest from this , oh nice , so take a little break .

Speaker 5 14:14

Short rest .

Speaker 1 14:17

Not a long rest , because it was definitely not a good rest . So for a short rest , if you guys are are injured , you guys can roll your um your hit point , dice your hip and your hit point die and gain that many hit points back . Okay , yeah , so it only , it only affects your , your hit points pretty much , or like whatever . I think , like your inspiration , like your bardic inspiration , I think you can get it from short rest too . Whatever skill that says you recover on short rest , you get . You get them back nice , nice all right .

Speaker 5 14:59

So I got um . I got this special feat for my bar , my musician from Entertainer . As you finish a short or long rest , you can play a song or on a magic . Oh , never mind , I don't have a musical instrument right now .

Speaker 1 15:13

You do , actually , you do , don't . You have one , you start with one .

Speaker 4 34:28

Tavern . What are you talking about ?

Speaker 6 34:32

Speaker 1 34:41

Oh , you must really be out of it . Chusui , we don't have a carved horn tavern here , and definitely not a marketplace . You're probably thinking of one of the bigger villages , no longer the small village . We're self-sufficient . We keep to ourselves mainly here . I'll show you guys around as Tub gets up . Come on . Sufficient . We keep to ourselves mainly here . I'll show you guys around as Tub gets up . Come on , you guys are done eating , let's go .

Okay , you guys go outside . Your dog , shusui , is super happy . He finally got some food . He seems way more happier now . And as you guys go outside , you don't see a marketplace . It's just Imagine a very small Hmong village . You see the cattle there . You see the pig pens , chickens everywhere . You see some kids playing around . You see a few villagers chatting . Uh , you see a few of them drinking like what seems to be alcohol . Uh , they're all dressed in like very thin fabric . Um , very . The females seem to be dressed in very colorful clothes and then the males are just in a very solid color , either black , blue , brown . A few of them . They look at the three of you and just from their look you can tell they're a little confused as why you guys are here . They're not used to seeing people or those who don't belong .

Speaker 5 36:58

So where's the other tub again ?

Speaker 1 37:01

Other tub is by the end of the village , right there . But , like I said , it's still pretty early here . Let me show you guys around real fast and , you know , try to get these locals to kind of chill out .

Time of the Day

Speaker 6 39:43

uh , yeah , um , I asked tub uh , before I managed to get to the village . I was , uh , I was lost for a few , for a few days . Uh , could you remind me what the date is ?

Speaker 1 39:56

Uh , who are you asking ? Tub or Druken ? Uh , tub , tub , tub . Looks at you .

Speaker 4 40:06

Yeah , it's uh the second , the second Soul Veil Day 16 .

Speaker 1 40:18

Don't ask me how . I know . We just look at the sun and we know , you know , that's how we do here .

Speaker 6 40:24

Does that match up with what my character actually thinks is the date ?

Speaker 5 40:30

Ah , yes , Sovel yes .

Speaker 1 40:34

Uh , roll me a . Um , what's a good roll for this ? Let's do a . Let's do a . Would it be like an insight ?

Speaker 6 40:47

check , let's see insight history or we could just do a wisdom check , a straight wisdom check . I don't know what it would be , so all right . Well , I have my tactical mind , so hopefully I don't fail at this . Okay , that's a 10 .

Speaker 5 41:10

I'm pretty sure that fails .

Speaker 6 41:12

True , true . Does that fail ?

Speaker 1 41:14

Because it says when I fail , I can use it . No modifiers . No modifiers .

Speaker 6 41:19

That included the modifiers .

Speaker 1 41:21

So , from what you can tell with a 10 , it feels about right . Yeah , if you take into account of , like , if yesterday , everything that happened the day before and this is the next day , then yes , the day is correct .

Speaker 2 41:39

I look over to Wagnu and I ask him is this the same village ? There's there's no tavern . We met these guys yesterday , but they don't remember us hmm , that's true .

Speaker 5 42:02

Um , I don't need , I don't know . Actually that's a good point . You think we should wait ? He said that there is no carved horn tavern . That guy earlier . You think he was just lying .

Speaker 2 42:15

I don't know , I don't , I can't tell if this is the same village there is no carved horn tavern right behind you guys .

Speaker 1 42:29

Oh , why are you guys whispering ?

Can I do like a history or investigation check or something ?

I've been waiting for this my whole life . Yes , comes back outside with four or five loots . You see him holding all of them like this , covering his face , slowly squats down , put them on the ground . There you go .

Speaker 5 52:58

Awesome . Yes , these are pretty fine , finely made loots . I will say how much will it cost me to get one of these off of you For you ?

Speaker 1 53:34

Shoes to the sky . Make how much gold I have . Make a Shusui and Sky . Make a perception . Check too Okay .

Speaker 6 53:42

Just a regular perception check .

Speaker 1 53:43

Yeah 10 .

Speaker 6 53:48

15 .

Speaker 1 53:49

Shusui , the loots . They all look the same . There's no difference between them . They're all just made out , you know , made out of wood . The strings . It looks like a strong nice though there they look playable , but From what you can see , there's nothing that makes them , you know , stand out .

Speaker 6 54:07

Hmm well buddy , do I recognize the loot maker you ?

Speaker 1 54:13

can give me a history check ?

Speaker 6 54:20

Uh 10 . His face seems familiar to you . But uh , are you sure these are your best loots ? They look kind of average to me .

Speaker 1 54:33

How dare you ? I'm a master of my craft . How dare you ? I'm a master of my craft . How dare ? Who is this man ? Tub Jukrin . You see , tub .

Speaker 4 54:44

Whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , Hold up .

Speaker 1 54:47

Whoa , whoa Jukrin , just kind of like takes some step back .

Speaker 5 54:54

You gotta forgive my friend here , dalvion . You know , um , he doesn't have the musician's eye like we do , you know . But I think he brings up a good point . You know , something is a little off about these loots . I might ask you to cut your price down in half for me . I've got 11 juicy pieces of gold here for you 11 .

Speaker 1 55:20

Huh , and what do you mean ? I'm only selling one for 10 gold . You could just buy one . Why do you want to give me 11 gold ?

Speaker 5 55:26

oh sorry yes , yes , I mean , if you want to give me 11 gold , yeah , I'll take the tip no , uh , let me just take one off , but before I do I forgot I did give my gold to um , to shusui , so let me just go get that from him real quick so he's your money holder ?

Speaker 1 55:44

no , no wonder . I , oh man , yeah , I can just tell by how this is his remark .

Speaker 5 55:49

You know , oh , you know oh jeez , you know how it goes , yeah , so just give us a few seconds . I'm just going to get the gold from him .

Speaker 1 55:58

I'll get to it . These loots , they go fast .

Speaker 5 56:01

Okay , shoot , shoot . What did you notice about the loots ? Why were you so suspicious ?

Speaker 6 56:05

They are very , very average .

Speaker 5 56:07

Oh shoot .

Speaker 6 56:10

They're not worth nearly 10 gold feet , oh dang .

Speaker 5 56:13

Okay , hmm , how do you feel about these other guys , though you know ?

Speaker 6 56:18

He seems familiar , so he . But the other two I don't remember them at all , it's just . I know it's been like over 10 years since I was last in this village . But people in villages like this , they don't just pop up and disappear , especially if they're guards . Guards don't get swapped out unless they have to .

Speaker 5 56:42

That's a good point . Hmm , okay , thanks for the gold , shisui , and I walk back towards Delveon . Alright Delveon , alright Delveon . You know , here you are . I give him the gold for the loot .

Speaker 1 56:59

Oh , wow , of course , take the loot , my good man .

Speaker 5 57:07

And you know , just because we're doing such good business here , you know , yesterday my friends and I we swear we stayed at this carved horn tavern . Does that ring a bell to you ?

Speaker 1 57:19

he kind of pauses for a little bit . Huh , if there's a tavern here , I'm sure I I noticed . I mean we'd have to walk miles just for the closest tavern around here .

Speaker 5 57:35

Hmm , have you ever seen an old man in a green robe ?

Speaker 1 57:44

Old man walking by , passing plenty of old man's here .

Speaker 5 57:49

Talking about other tub . I think his name was G a or something . Has a really bright green robe on .

Speaker 1 57:58

Right .

Speaker 6 58:00

He also only has one arm . Make an exception , Shusui .

Speaker 1 58:02

Are you kind of yelling at him ? They're just talking .

Speaker 6 58:10

I assume they're like four or five feet away from me , so I just go .

Speaker 1 58:14

Yeah , he has one arm , as you mentioned the name GA , you see him kind of like freeze for a little bit His eyes . You see his expression just kind of drop Like the Hmong pose , you know .

Speaker 5 58:27

Yeah .

Speaker 1 58:31

Well , thanks for the loot . I mean wait , hold up , you bought the loot . Thank you for the loot . I mean wait , hold up , you bought the loot . Thank you for the gold .

Speaker 5 58:36

I mean Whoa is everything ? Okay , I see something . Something kind of happened . You kind of disappeared for a second .

Speaker 1 58:47

It happens sometimes . You know , you know how it is with age . I mean , you wouldn't know , you're still pretty young . What am I saying ?

Speaker 5 58:59

Alright well , and I look at him intensely this time . If you do see a green man , a man in a green robe named GA , I look for a reaction .

Speaker 1 59:09

Right , as you say , ga , his face just drops again and you give me a wisdom saving throw please .

Speaker 5 59:18

Ooh , okay .

Speaker 6 59:21

When the Wagnu says this , I turn and I look at the other two and see if they have any reaction ?

Speaker 5 59:27

Ooh , let's go .

Speaker 1 59:32

Go ahead , roll me first , roll for me first , let's go you roll first for your wisdom saving throw 17 you feel something into your head real fast and it just kind of comes out the other way . It's like a quick , you know like a quick migraine , that's it . You don't feel it for too long , it's like a second . Okay , as you turn around to like a quick migraine , that's it . Uh , you don't fill up too long , it's like a second . Um , as you turn around to look at tub and jukran dude give me a um , let's just go with a dexterity check real fast .

Speaker 6 1:00:15

How fast do you ? Turn oh dexterity okay , uh , 16 plus 4 20 nice , sure .

Speaker 1 1:00:22

so right as you turn , right as you turn , and kind of like the word it's , kind of it's like you almost you already had in your in your head already , you , that you were to turn around . So you turn around , right when Waknu is dead , the name GA , and you notice that their expression also dropped for a bit and they kind of came back to regular normal . Hmm .

Speaker 1 1:00:49

Sky , can you also roll me a perception check too , please ? Oh an eight , an eight . Right now you're just looking at your friend getting swindled Like the biggest ripoff you've ever seen in your whole life . Well , time for me to go wash my face . I'll , I'll take this , these 10 gold , happily . If you ever need a loot , uh , feel free to come back , it'll be here waiting for you . Remember the best loot , and all of you ping , not just the long village , all of you ping .

Speaker 1 1:01:29

He hurries back inside with his loot and his tin gold happy thank you . I say yeah , so make sure you subtract tin gold from your inventory gotcha so Wagnu that song . I think it was called the Whisper . You want to play it Play it for us .

Speaker 5 1:02:01

Yes , yes , but you know I got to warm up my voice first , you know . So you know , usually I'll need a little bit of time . Can I talk to my friends real quick ? Quick , we'll do our vocal warm-ups oh , they're in the the song too well , you know they , they helped me , you know they , they helped me get ready .

Speaker 1 1:02:22

So you know it looks at uh , the both of them that one doesn't look like a singer . But I guess we shouldn't judge by someone's appearance , right ?

Speaker 5 1:02:35

that's right , that's right . I say as I walk over to them you guys are good guys , not judging us . Okay , okay , whispers again , oh come on so I got this loot . Okay , now I can use my powers . I mean , now you know I can do a lot more things , but anyways you still could negotiate it .

Speaker 6 1:03:00

That was a clear ripoff . It wasn't even close that , yeah , maybe two goals , maybe three I didn't really .

Speaker 5 1:03:09

I wanted to get the information out of him more about you know that old guy and why everyone is kind of so different , you know yeah , when you mentioned his name , those two , their faces , did the same thing dude . No way okay , so you saw that too okay . No way okay , so you saw that too okay . Well , I think we need to figure out what's going on here , or you know why everything is so different ?

Speaker 2 1:03:37

I don't think this is the same village I don't think so either .

Speaker 5 1:03:42

My memories aren't matching up , it's just something's wrong do you guys remember there was like a giant statue somewhere , the ?

Speaker 2 1:03:52

fountain . There was a fountain in the middle of the village .

Speaker 6 1:03:56

Yeah , I was looking at the statue when your guys' fight happened .

Speaker 5 1:04:02

Can you remember where it was ?

Speaker 6 1:04:06

It should have been in the middle of the marketplace . You guys weren't that far away when , when the fight happened .

Speaker 5 1:04:16

Sure Black Sky . Do you , do you think you can find when that statue is or should be ?

Speaker 2 1:04:25

I can try here . Let me go ask these two Another question .

Speaker 6 1:04:29

I can try here . Let me go ask these two another question , Maybe I can figure something out .

Speaker 5 1:04:37

Okay , but before you go , oh what ? It's ? Only as a bonus action .

Speaker 1 1:04:40

You can use it because you guys are out of combat . Yes , oh okay , pretty much out of combat . You can do whatever you want . It's just a free action Alright .

Speaker 5 1:04:51

Before you go Shisui , let me show you what I can do . And then I grip onto the loot and then I just start . I start going secret tunnel , secret tunnel , and then I cast bardic inspiration on him all right , go and give me a , give me a performance .

Speaker 1 1:05:09

check real fast . First you get the Bardic for sure you are inspired .

Speaker 6 1:05:15

Cool , there's my d6 .

Speaker 5 1:05:18

Performance for me 13 plus 6 . So 19 . Let's go .

Speaker 1 1:05:25

You're playing this loot . The sound from this loot , it's not . It's not up to par . Right as you play , you're a musician . You know , Right as you held this lute and you started plucking away , you can tell this is not a good lute , but your voice is so good , it's so good that Shusui was moved and got inspired . You hear Jeruka and Tubb . You know they start to do like a low clap .

Speaker 4 1:05:54

That's a warm up , Wow , man oh yeah , you guys haven't seen nothing yet .

Speaker 5 1:06:05

And then I have to roll my die for him .

Speaker 1 1:06:08

No , he gets a d6 whenever he wants to do his stuff .

Speaker 5 1:06:13

Oh , okay , okay , I see .

Speaker 6 1:06:16

Yes , I'll hold on to that .

Speaker 1 1:06:18

How long does that bardic inspiration last ? By the way , 30 minutes , right An hour .

Speaker 5 1:06:22

Let's go .

Speaker 6 1:06:26

I walk over to Tub and Jukerim and I go . Well , does Elder Tub still go up to that shrine outside the village ? Can you remind me yet which of the spirits was that , which of the divines that shrine was dedicated to ?

Speaker 1 1:06:47

again , oh yeah , elder Tub goes every , every morning . He's probably about to go right now actually . Uh , what was it again ? I should know this right . You see , tubb Jiru-kun , it's the shrine of . It's that one ? Yeah , it's the Shrine of .

Speaker 6 1:07:14

Ah , I see you see their mouth move .

Speaker 1 1:07:17

You just don't hear anything coming out of it .

Speaker 6 1:07:20

Hmm , okay .

Speaker 5 1:07:21

Hmm .

Speaker 6 1:07:23

I uh Well , uh , we should uh Kind of get going , catch uh Elder Tome , and then I kind of walk over and I immediately whisper yeah , uh , they can't say Pavos , so something is most definitely wrong . Interesting , if they can't speak the name of a divine , it's Something is most definitely not right .

Speaker 2 1:07:52

Maybe you should bring up that Temple to them . Jesuit , Ask about Pavos .

Speaker 6 1:08:04

Well , I see their lips moving , but none of the sounds come out . I'm pretty sure if I ask about it , the same thing's gonna happen . So okay and if they can just stop you from saying the divine's name , I ? Whatever's going on is something severely , severely wrong this village is probably under a spell .

Speaker 2 1:08:36

Can I do an arcana check ?

Speaker 6 1:08:37

well , is it the village or us ?

Speaker 1 1:08:40

so the arcana checks are only for like um , like understanding , like not object , but it's more of like , uh , you want to recall like how a certain magic works or stuff like that . You know it doesn't let you detect anything magical , but you can . If there's anything you want to look for in particular , uh , you go ahead and let me know and I can try to work something around that , okay is there something . What are you ? What are you looking for ?

Speaker 2 1:09:05

uh digging for .

Speaker 6 1:09:22

Uh , well , I think we should well , okay uh , continue the conversation , which is just way I religion check to see if I can remember anything about like anything I might have learned from my parents about things that interact with the divines , and maybe why they , why I can't hear them say uh , pavos , you can try .

Speaker 1 1:09:49

Why I can't hear them say Pavos . You can try .

Speaker 6 1:09:58

Dang Okay . Am I doing history or religion ?

Speaker 1 1:10:01

You can choose .

Speaker 6 1:10:04

Cool , I would prefer to do history 18 .

Speaker 1 1:10:08

As you try to recall . Let's do it . Something enters your mind . You hear a crack . You try to recall something , anything about the use of , maybe like a ancient magic or some kind of curse that forbids people from speaking the name of Adivine . Right as you think about your teachings , for a quick second everything turns dark . But just for you , shusui , you get that sensation of cold again in your body For Flash . You open your eyes and you see where Tub and Jukarin are their body ethereal , their eyes and mouth and their facial features are exaggerated . Wang ni starts here . Oh , you do hear something , though , shisui . Yeah , you do hear something . As all this happens , you hear . It sounds like a distant yell , a distant calling .

Speaker 6 1:11:42

Brother brother , I'm over here .

Shusui's Pursuit

Speaker 5 1:11:45

Did you guys hear that ?

Speaker 6 1:11:50

No , there was a voice calling , calling for brother . I don't know , but something is most definitely going on , and I'm pretty sure it's us who are hexed or under the spell . I think I managed to shake it off for a moment , but it's lingering , can't get rid of it .

Speaker 5 1:12:19

Yeah , I remember you kind of going through something earlier too , when they were taking us towards Dalvion's house . You kind of were like , ah yeah .

Speaker 6 1:12:33

That was kind of the little . What was it like ? The village center near the well ?

Speaker 1 1:12:41

Oh , that would be a great place for you guys to sing , actually by the well , come on , let's go back , let's go check it out . Good point we should hold a party tub . You see , a jukin's voice is becoming more like , more like uh , ecstatic , more happy , you know , uh compared to him like when he was already like nice , like a little more grinning widely yeah , but uh , we were supposed to meet Elder Tub .

Speaker 6 1:13:11

If we don't see him now , we might just miss him .

Speaker 4 1:13:14

He'll be back . He always comes back .

Speaker 1 1:13:16

It's okay , the Shrine of it's that way , so when he comes back we'll catch him somehow . Hmm .

Speaker 5 1:13:28

How would you guys feel ?

Speaker 6 1:13:31

I turn towards the wolf , turn towards them and I go . You guys can use magic . What do you guys think ? Cause , uh , something ain't right here and it's probably magical .

Speaker 5 1:13:44

I agree . I think that maybe I should go to the well to perform a little . And while all the villagers are here , maybe you guys can check out Elder Tub , or maybe you solo , I don't know .

Speaker 6 1:13:59

Yeah , you two stick together . I'll go find Elder Tub then .

Speaker 5 1:14:05

Okay , but what if ?

Speaker 6 1:14:07

I'll probably find .

Speaker 5 1:14:08

Okay , we should choose a spot to reconvene , just in case . How about we meet up at this , the Davion's , this Davion guy's place After .

Speaker 6 1:14:24

Yeah , yeah , yeah . If something happens , I'll try and send my dog and I'll have to leave that up to fate .

Speaker 5 1:14:38

And then can I cast another Bardic Inspiration to him before we go . I have , yeah . I have four . Yeah , okay .

Speaker 6 1:14:53

Alright .

Speaker 5 1:14:54

Before you go though Shisui , let me play you a little something . Secret tunnel , secret tunnel , and I cast Bargain Spatial .

Speaker 6 1:15:06

Just as good the second time around .

Speaker 5 1:15:09

I cast another Bargainyshade for him . Okay , all right , just so he can have that .

Speaker 4 1:15:15

I love it .

Speaker 5 1:15:17

All right . So Black Sky and I are going to go towards the well and you're going to go to Elder Tub .

Speaker 6 1:15:25

Yep , I'll find Elder Tub and try to catch him at the shrine . Okay , maybe he can tell me more . If we don't see you soon .

Speaker 5 1:15:33

We'll come looking at this at the meetup spot .

Speaker 6 1:15:38

Yeah , it's not too far away , shouldn't take too long .

Speaker 5 1:15:41

Okay , best of luck .

Speaker 1 1:15:43

As you guys kind of separate a little bit . You see , Tubb kind of looks out hey , where you going ? You're not going with us to the well .

Speaker 6 1:15:52

Nah , I I really need to talk to Elder Tubb . It's uh , it's really important . I'll I'll be back though .

Speaker 4 1:16:02

Okay , but you're gonna miss it .

Speaker 6 1:16:05

It's fine , I hear it all the time .

Speaker 4 1:16:08

Whoa , he's your childhood friend too .

Speaker 6 1:16:11

Well , we met up and then we've heard it . Well , I heard it all , a whole bunch yesterday , don't worry about it .

Speaker 1 1:16:20

Okay , okay , whatever you want . Okay , let's go Alright . Okay , Shusui , you start heading off the direction of where you think Elder Tub's at . Let's have Sky and Shusui roll a dice real fast to see which direction we take first .

Speaker 6 1:16:48

Just a regular d20? .

Speaker 1 1:16:49

Yeah , just a d20 .

Speaker 2 1:16:52

I got a 12 .

Speaker 5 1:17:04

Okay , sounds good .

Speaker 1 1:17:07

You guys start heading towards the well . As you guys get closer to the well , in the middle of the village , you do feel , uh , like a familiar feeling . Now , this is where the statue would have been , this is where the fountain was , but you don't see any of that . Okay .

Speaker 5 1:17:33

As I tune my loot a little bit , I look over to black sky . Wait , are you thinking what I'm thinking right now ?

Speaker 2 1:17:41

Yeah , there's no fountain .

Speaker 5 1:17:44

But this is where it was . I know no fountain .

Speaker 2 1:17:45

No fountain , just a well . It's just a well .

Speaker 1 1:17:47

This is where we get our water . I know no fountain , just a well . This is where we get our water , rain water , the best water in Yuping yeah , that's something interesting .

Speaker 5 1:18:00

Okay , I'm gonna start playing some music and I'm pretty sure everyone's gonna be looking at me . I still think you're right about this whole place not being where we are , so let's just keep an eye out and see what happens once I start playing .

Speaker 5 1:18:15

Yeah , sounds good okay , I climb up on top of the well , ladies and gentlemen , I have a special song for you today . I hope you'll all don't mind me performing . And if you ever feel so inclined to leave a little bit of gold here for me , and then I kind of like just take off a jacket and lay down so they want to put gold there , they can . I take them lay down so they want to put gold there , they can articulate um , and then I'm gonna right now cast bardic inspiration to black sky as well .

You can take it how you want to take it . Some of them start to , you know like start to tap in with you . You see a few little kids kind of bring like a flower and put it by your jacket . You see one of the men just kind of flip like a silver coin towards you .

Speaker 5 1:20:07

Do you need a perception check 19 . You're looking for either GA or Elder Tub . Alright , you look around and you realize that you have never seen Elder Tub before . Alright , you look around and you realize that you have never seen Elder Tull before . So you do not know what you're looking for . Damn . Um , you start to look for GA , but for 19 ? Damn , it's weird , because every time you glance around , right Sometimes , you'll see two yellow eyes , imperial eyes that stare right back at you .

They love us . No , no , no , there's someone keeping their eye on us .

Speaker 5 1:26:38

Oh , what do you mean ?

Speaker 2 1:26:39

I see a pair of yellow eyes , a pair of yellow eyes . I see it throughout the crowd , but I can't seem to locate this person . But I can't seem to locate this person . I think they're definitely keeping their eye on us and they have some sort of spell on us . Hmm , for how long we've been here . Maybe she should have found Elder Tub .

Speaker 5 1:27:04

That's a good point . Okay , let's wrap things up here . We should meet with them .

Speaker 1 1:27:10

It's been like a good 15 minutes or so . You know like two songs or so About like 10 minutes Encore , yeah . Okay .

Speaker 5 1:27:18

All right , thank you guys . We love you guys . We will be here all week . All All SoVale Yo , we're going to be here . We appreciate all soul veil . You know we're gonna be here . We appreciate you guys for all the love . We're gonna take a quick break and then we'll be back they're cheering , though .

Speaker 1 1:27:35

You see a few of them got , like you know , like chairs and everything ready sitting down . It's like a festival right now let's go uh , as you guys are walking by , you see like tub and uh juker and like uh , talking to some of the villagers , you know they're like yeah , the whisper is part of the gig , don't worry about it , they do that all the time .

Speaker 5 1:27:52

It's amazing this guy knows , yeah , okay and then um we don't know where shisui , where shisui you want no , you do not know where he's heading okay , um so black sky . Do you want to just go back to Dalvion's place To look away from ?

Speaker 2 1:28:14

Do you think they're just going to let us leave ? They got chairs out waiting for us .

Speaker 5 1:28:19

Ah , they'll wait for us Go on .

Speaker 2 1:28:23

Okay , we could try to leave , and if it doesn't work , we could just make them go to sleep with my spell .

Speaker 5 1:28:33

Wait , you can do that .

Speaker 2 1:28:37

It's last resort .

Speaker 5 1:28:39

Okay , Okay . So they're basically setting up around the well right .

Speaker 1 1:28:49

Yeah , around the well .

Speaker 5 1:28:50

Okay , I'd say we should meet up with Shisui , but I don't want to make it suspicious too . Do you think you can find him solo though ?

Speaker 2 1:29:09

I would not prefer to split . How about ? You just tell them we need more instruments from davion's , and we'll be right back . This gives everyone time to set up their chairs oh yeah , it's a great idea .

Speaker 5 1:29:22

Okay , okay , and then can we run back to where they are in the well Around , the well .

Speaker 1 1:29:29

Yeah , yeah , you run back . As you guys get back , let's say it's been like a good like , that's like a good five-minute conversation . You know , yeah , you guys were whispering . Top is like yeah , that was a quick break , ready to go again .

Speaker 5 1:29:44

Unfortunately , the equipment I have this instrument it was not a top tier , finely made instrument the strings broke off a little bit . I'm sorry you guys . I'm going to have to get a replacement . Alright , oh boo , I know , I know We'll be right back , We'll be back .

Speaker 1 1:29:59

Speaker 5 1:30:17

I think it's important for a musician to be the one to directly choose his instrument . Can I try to persuade him to ?

Speaker 2 1:30:25

Okay , yeah , as this is going , I'm casting my sleep spell already .

Speaker 3 1:30:31

Oh shit , I'm casting my sleep spell already , oh okay my sleep spell in the back ah damn , I only got a six plus six for persuasion .

Speaker 1 1:30:38

Twelve all right , scott , first I'm gonna need you to roll me a stealth check as well . You guys are surrounded right now . Your sleep spell , um , okay , so you have to use . We won't deal with the material part , we just say you use something . So like something small , but uh , it does take like a you know , like you saying something and then you doing like a hand gesture . So by doing that people will see it . So I have to . If you're trying to be secretive about it , you have to rub me a self-check . If not , then then everyone will see that you're doing it . I will .

Speaker 5 1:31:12

Wait , wait , wait . Let me get their attention from you , so you can do that yeah .

Speaker 1 1:31:21

So , Waknu , as you said that you're going to go choose your own instrument , Tubb kind of leans in . Hey , I got a secret to tell you All those loots ?

Alright , I look over to wagnu and I tell him we should run to davion's . I don't think it's been a minute there's . The dog has not gone back . We promise to meet at avion's . I think we're short on time . We should just book it that's true .

Speaker 5 1:34:29

I mean , I'm having a good time here , but we should meet up with Shisui To the meetup spot .

Speaker 1 1:34:39

Okay , you guys start going back . All right , you guys start going back to Talbion's and we're going to switch over to Shisui real fast , shisui . As you're walking , you hear the sound of cheering and the amazing voice of Wagnu . What is it that you're looking for ? Where is it that you're going right now ?

Speaker 6 1:35:05

I'm heading towards the village entrance because I know the way to the shrine . I'm heading towards the village entrance because I know the way to the shrine and if he's heading from his house to the shrine , he's going to have to cross the village entrance .

Speaker 1 1:35:20

So you know that there's two entrances , which is the way you came from and the way that you guys came from this morning . You're heading towards the way that you had to come from the day before and as you're heading towards that way , you notice your dog's not really following you . You also hear him like another voice behind you , like a cheerful laugh .

Speaker 6 1:35:50

I turned my head towards the sound . I tried to figure out what the heck's going on , because I know the majority of the villagers should be kind of at the little concert , like song event yeah , you turn around and you see , crotch down , seems to be like a little like a little boy playing with your dog .

Speaker 1 1:36:11

Um , he's feeding it like some , some dried meat , so he has , like red hair , red hair oh , excuse me , uh , who are you ?

Speaker 6 1:36:24

and uh , can you take a step away from my dog ?

Speaker 1 1:36:29

as you get closer to him , he just kind of gets up and he just starts running off chuckling . He just goes . You're close , brother , Don't stop now .

Speaker 6 1:36:38

I try and see where he's running and I try to I kind of just try and follow his path with my eyes and just see , like where he disappears to , if I can like see that yeah , he's running .

Speaker 1 1:36:52

And then you see him turn quickly to the left into like a what seems like the alleyway if there is an alleyway here , uh , I guess I'll just follow him , see if I can uh catch up to him um , you start following this little boy . You see him turn around a couple times , but he's like still trying to get away from you . You see him chuckling very happily . You're close , brother . Come on , brother , he's just running .

Speaker 6 1:37:29

I kind of call out to him , I go , why do you keep calling me that , who the heck are you ? As I'm kind of like trying to catch up to him , I try to like take a better look at him , see if , like , I can possibly like know him , or if I've like seen him before Trying to figure out who the heck he is .

Speaker 1 1:37:53

Okay , Give me a perception , check real fast .

Speaker 6 1:38:03

Seven plus eleven .

Speaker 1 1:38:08

Seven plus four . Eleven , nice , that's good . Uh , you're chasing after him and you're trying to like pinpoint . If you recognize this kid , um , it is the back . You see like glimpse of his face as he turns around here and there . Uh right , he turns around . You notice that he has two horns and he turns back around .

Speaker 6 1:38:36

Just keep running chuckling all the while you do not know this , this kid , he turns to the right real fast . Come on , you're slow , you're a tiefling guy . You guys aren't very common .

Speaker 1 1:38:54

I , you're a tiefling , you guys aren't very common . I met another tiefling , black Sky . Do you know him Right ? As you say Black Sky , you get stopped , like abruptly the corner where he got turned . As you turn that corner , you see a man , a tiefling , but not a kid Two horns , red hair , blue eyes , staring straight at you . Make me a wisdom saving throw Fass . Why is it always a wisdom saving throw real fast .

Speaker 6 1:39:30

Why is it always a wisdom saving throw ? It's like my 5th or 6th one , okay .

Speaker 1 1:39:39

Uh a 13 . He looks at you with like a cold stare Down to your bones . You're not my brother and you get pushed back by some kind of force . You find yourself back to where you were before . You got given chase and you're crouching on the ground holding your head . What are you doing ?

Speaker 6 1:40:09

I kind of kind of shake myself off and try and get like my bearings . I was like trying to figure out if that really happened or that was like an illusion you hear the sound of cheering die down .

Speaker 1 1:40:26

You hear the sound of wagnus music die down . You hear the sound of Wagnu's music die down . You try to get a sense of what's happening and you look up in the sky and the sun seems to be dimming , setting . You look back behind you and you see the figure of Edward Tubb walking back at the entrance that you were heading to .

Speaker 6 1:40:57

I take a look at my dog and I go go to the other two . Lead them to me . That's what I try and get it to do . I don't know if it actually understands Animal handling . Check . Come on , Dog , please do me one solid . It's a gnat one . I'm going to describe it a little bit .

Speaker 1 1:41:27

Oh God , our first gnat one . That first , now one .

Speaker 5 1:41:31

it's crazy so sad no , no it's just not meant to be oh god with a gnat one .

Speaker 1 1:41:45

He just kind of , uh , his head just goes to the side a little bit , gives you a little nice googly eye , kind of like the cat from the Shrek movie . I forgot his name Puss in Boots Puss in Boots . The cat eyes and then he looks behind you real fast and he starts barking .

Speaker 6 1:42:08

You , infernal dog , why did I save you ? I go and I walk up to Elder Tub and as I'm walking towards him , I compare him to the version I saw yesterday and I look for any differences .

Speaker 1 1:42:27

You quickly glance around and you see , elder Tub sees you right away . You see his face changes right away , right um , and then he starts like running off as fast as he can . He's the old man , but he's running off as fast as he can towards his home he's like oh , stay away he starts running off he's an old man .

Speaker 6 1:42:49

I'm pretty sure I can outrun him , so I just start chasing him yep , you start chasing him .

Speaker 1 1:42:56

Um , as you're chasing me , just yelling at , you , stay away and you're catching up to him . You catch up to him . What are you doing ?

Speaker 6 1:43:05

I kind of like grab onto his like I don't know his like tun , whatever like shirt he's wearing , and I go stop running . I need to talk to you . What's going on with this village ?

Speaker 1 1:43:17

You grab him and turn around .

Speaker 4 1:43:20

Speaker 1 1:45:15

His body just starts to distort . It gets dark , the moon comes out , his mouth opens wide , whatever hair he had falls off , all except for his beard . His flesh starts to fall off and as you turn around and look at him , you shouldn't have come back . And that's where we're going to take a break .
