Intro

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hello everyone! Welcome back to episode seven of Wonderful U Pang. I think I'm gonna go with that for campaigning from now on. This is Jackie. How's everyone doing?

SPEAKER_04 0:14

I'm Jor, I'm playing as Wagnu, the Elf Fighter Board.

SPEAKER_03 0:18

And I'll be playing Black guy.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

Yeah, so Chris is not here tonight. Um he has some stuff going on, so hopefully in like two or three sessions we can get him back in the in the meantime, we'll just focus on uh for a while. I know you will be here in the spirit. The water is loaded. And then he moves. The lake conces and the storm titans. The test has begun. Roll for initiative.

SPEAKER_04 4:08

I rolled an eight.

SPEAKER_03 4:11

Holy straight into it, huh? Alright, let me see. Oh, I rolled the 19. 19. Dude, starting off with a battle? I'm ready. I think we're f fighting Teli. The serpent.

SPEAKER_04 4:27

No way.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

It's going down, man.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Dude, that's insane. Holy. Wait, this model is nice.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

For real. So you say you wrote a 19 can't and Joy, you wrote an eight.

SPEAKER_05 4:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Okay, so what you see before you is a eastern looking dragon. You can see its scales is like. You see like some rainbow scales, but then they're covered by like a black and purple Icar. He actually gets to go first. And before its turn, though, I'm gonna need both of you guys to make me a dexterity saving throw.

SPEAKER_03 5:11

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Oh at 20, right?

SPEAKER_03 5:16

Dang. That is nine.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Yeah. So you should use your use your saving throw modifiers.

SPEAKER_04 5:23

Gotcha. Yeah, yeah. That is nine with the modifiers. I got a ten.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

You got a ten? Yeah, as both of you guys see Tell I come up, um, all of a sudden it's like a sudden random current that just goes by and it hits your raft, you both like wobble a little bit, and you just find yourself on the ground on your raft. Uh the both of you guys are prone. Damn. So that just means next turn you have to use your movement to get up, that's all.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

Not too bad, not too bad.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

It's gonna go ahead and just look at Guy. Um, you can see as it looks at you, your wind artifact reacts to it, and he just growls at you a little bit, and he's gonna go ahead and try to attack you. That's gonna be uh 11 to hit you.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Nope.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

His attacks is like uh he brings water from the side like an arm and just try to come down on you. Um as it comes down, you feel almost as if like the wind pushes it a little to the side and just come doesn't hit you and spashes away.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Too slow.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

With that, it's gonna be uh black sky's turn and then Walg Niger on deck.

SPEAKER_05 6:41

Awesome.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

Alright, so we are on deck. Um can we traverse the plane? Or are we just like stuck on deck? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:52

So think of it right now, like the current you guys are actually going down. Just going down with the current.

SPEAKER_04 6:58

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

You guys can jump off if you guys want, but it'll it'll be a little hard, and um like the water is just crazy. I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna say you guys can't. You guys can jump off if you want.

SPEAKER_03 7:09

Okay. Okay, okay. Um so first, I am gonna try to deceive Tilli. Can I do that?

SPEAKER_01 7:22

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

Alright. So, Till Eye, I am the bearer of the wind artifact. I'm actually here to come and collect the water artifact from you. We're on a journey to reunite all the artifacts together. And I don't want to fight. And if you hand over the water artifact to me, I'll promise to fulfill any requests you ask of us.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

Right as you say uh the collect, you see like a foam just starts coming out of his mouth. Um go and roll me a persuasion disadvantage.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

So disadvantage is two rolls, right? And the lower one?

SPEAKER_01 8:07

Yeah, two rolls, take the lowest one, yep. Oh my god. 13 and 4.

SPEAKER_03 8:12

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Yeah, as you're trying to convince him to kind of just like chill out, um, his his gaze just locks onto you. Um his mouth foaming. What you can take from this is that he it doesn't seem to understand what you're asking, but it knows you want to take something from it.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

Okay. Um so what I will do is I will carry on with my deception and cast booming blade on myself. And and my turn.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Okay, what does that do?

SPEAKER_03 8:43

I'm sorry. Um, not booming blade, I will cast Blade Ward. Whenever a creature makes an attack roll against you before the spell ends, the attacker subtracts one d4 from the attack roll.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

Nice, nice.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

And then before I end my time, uh, I'll yell back out to Telai. I'm telling you the truth. We're not here to fight.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

Alright, Wagnew, Sir Go.

SPEAKER_04 9:05

I don't think you'll listen. Or maybe you'll listen at this. And I'm a cast cloud of daggers. My new spell.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

Okay, what does that do? New spell. What does that do?

SPEAKER_04 9:16

So basically, I conjure spinning daggers in a five-foot cube centered on a point within range. Each creature in that area takes 4d4 slashing damage.

SPEAKER_05 9:26

Jeesh.

SPEAKER_04 9:27

And a creature also takes damage, this damage if they enter into that cube or that area, or if their turn ends there. Or if the cube moves there, but yeah, and they only take this damage once per turn. So let's see. It lasts for one minute. That's what it says here. Cool, and it's a concentration spell.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

Concentration spell. Okay, so that just means that uh if you if you get attack, or if you try to use like some other spell, then you have to um roll the saving throw pretty much to maintain concentration.

SPEAKER_04 9:58

Dang, can I activate um bonus action spells? Even though I'm concentrating?

SPEAKER_01 10:03

Um, I wanna say no. Okay. But let me just double check.

SPEAKER_04 10:06

It's okay if not, to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

So it seems like you can't actually NISE, okay, okay. It's only if you cast an like a second concentration spell then you have to it breaks it.

SPEAKER_04 10:17

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Awesome.

Raft Chaos

SPEAKER_04 10:20

Cool, so yeah, I'll go and cast it.

SPEAKER_01 10:24

It's uh it's not a roll, right?

SPEAKER_04 10:26

I just take the damage or is it uh um yeah, I just choose the space, I guess. The square. I'm gonna choose that right on top of it. Right on top of the um attelli. Cool. Four it's just four d4s, so you just say just four d4.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

That's what it says. That's four d4s, man.

SPEAKER_03 10:43

That's crazy damage, no?

SPEAKER_01 10:47

Did you get all fours? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:49

Two my god. Okay, so it's thirteen total.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

Thirteen total. What kind of damage is it?

SPEAKER_04 10:56

It is slashing damage.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Slashing damage. Okay, cool. Um, yeah, you set your your points onto Tell Eye and you see your dagger just spins around. Uh multiple daggers, magical daggers just start spinning around. Um, does your dagger have any particular like form or shape?

SPEAKER_04 11:15

Uh no, but they slightly resemble Black Sky and Shusui's weapons because I've been spending more time with them. So they slightly look like their weapons. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Okay, yeah. So you see like uh Sky, what you see is the your like your like imitation of your daggers and uh imitation of uh Shusui's cemitar, it's hits on Tele, uh Tell Eye doesn't like doesn't mean venture anything, doesn't even make any like movements, reactions.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

Alright, and then as my bonus action, I'm gonna cast Bardic Inspiration.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

I'm black I'm black that so Scott, you have one D6.

SPEAKER_04 11:51

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Um with that, top of the turn. So because of the the current and everything is moving, you guys are moving downwards the whole time. I just want to uh clarify that your your spell, because you set onto a point as you guys are moving down with the current, you get to move away from that point.

SPEAKER_04 12:08

True. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

Damn. Uh both of you guys give me a strength saving throw. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

SPEAKER_04 12:17

Nice. 18 for me. Oh my god. Four.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Uh what you see is the water under underneath your raft just pushes you guys both up, and you find yourself 10 feet in the air. Uh walk near, you come back down, and you are you're able to like land perfectly. But Sky, you come down, you land onto your back. Uh you take 1d8 damage.

unknown 12:41

Damn.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

So you take seven points of budgeting damage. As you're as the air is knocked out of your like your your chest. Oh my back.

SPEAKER_04 12:52

And last thing too, am I still prone or am I standing now?

SPEAKER_01 12:57

Uh I'll I'll say just because you guys aren't moving anyway. Yeah. You use all your movements to get up, so that's fine.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

Awesome, awesome.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Um, Cellai's gonna look right at you, Wagnu, and he's just gonna try to attack you with his tentacle slam. Uh he wrote a let's see, 1924. Dang!

SPEAKER_04 13:15

Yeah, that hits.

SPEAKER_01 13:18

pretty bad.

SPEAKER_04 13:19

No!

SPEAKER_01 13:20

Yeah. Um what you see is water from behind you come and it's like like a tentacle, just spam, slam down on you, you take 14 points of legend damage.

SPEAKER_04 13:29

No shot.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

You are also grappled right now. So you'll need to uh row a DC 14 strength saving throw to become ungrappled.

SPEAKER_04 13:41

Okay. Wait, uh, it's a DC.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

I don't think grapple does anything, because when you guys when you're grappled, you just can't move, but you're not moving anyway, so it's not gonna affect you too much, but just in case you want to move and stuff, you know.

SPEAKER_04 13:54

Right. So I can concentrate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

Oh yeah, and then um you can roll your concentration saving throw, but then you're already moving from your point, so if you want to just drop concentration, that's fine too.

SPEAKER_04 14:05

I'll just drop it. And what was the saving throw again? It was for Constitution?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

Uh it's 14. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_04 14:12

No, it's 12. I only hit 12. Dude.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

So you're you're gonna be uh restrained until every time it's your turn, you roll again to see if you can get out of it. Gotcha. Uh go ahead, Sky. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 14:24

Oh man. I'm slowly getting back up. Oh. And I try to talk to Tell I again. We come in peace. We really do. Is there any way we can communicate with you? You seem a little upset. You seem a little purple.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

As you try to like calm him down, um, his head lowers down to yours, and you see him open his mouth like he's trying to scream at you. But you don't hear any sound coming out of it. But you feel the pressure and like the like the act of the roar itself.

SPEAKER_03 15:08

Hmm. If you need our help, nod your head.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

It doesn't do anything, just stares at you.

SPEAKER_03 15:14

If you're trying to fight, nod your head.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

Keep its gaze on you.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Alright. You're I think you're right, Wagnu. It's not working. And then I will continue to cast my firebolt. Okay. Charge it up in my hand. Maybe this will work.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

Let's roll.

SPEAKER_03 15:35

17.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

17 hits it, yeah. No damage.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

Nice. Let's go. 1D10, let's go. 4.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

4. Um, describe to us how your firebolt looks like.

SPEAKER_03 15:49

Because now I've lost my black flames. Um I just charge my firebolt to its highest temperature, which are blue flames. Just charge it up in my hand until it turns blue, as hot as possible, and I just throw it straight at his head.

SPEAKER_01 16:07

Yeah, so once you uh toss your fireball over, um, you see as it hits his face and it just kind of like fades out. Um, he doesn't even face or he doesn't even move or anything.

SPEAKER_03 16:18

Okay. Take that in mind, Wagner. Fireball ineffective.

SPEAKER_04 16:23

That's terrible. That's terrible for me. Okay. And is that is it my turn now or?

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Yeah, I end my turn.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

Okay. Yeah, you said bonus action if you want to do anything.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

Uh I am good. My bonus actions don't really do anything. Until I use spells.

SPEAKER_01 16:44

Okay, Wagnew, there go.

SPEAKER_04 16:46

Okay. Am I um uh first I'm gonna try to get ungrappled here.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

Yep, go ahead, road string saving three.

SPEAKER_04 16:53

18. 18.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

18? Yep. Uh you manage to let's go. So the grapple, it's just pretty much like a water holding like water holding you down. You manage you manage to just force your way out and the water just that like around you. Let's go.

SPEAKER_04 17:09

Alright. I'll be like, nice black sky. Now let me give it a try. And I'll charge up my firebolt. Well, good, wait, am I could we am I close enough to like attack him with my skimitar or anything?

SPEAKER_01 17:24

Uh yeah, I would say so.

SPEAKER_04 17:25

Okay, okay, okay, awesome. I'm I'm gonna do that instead. I'm gonna try to uh hit him with my skimitar.

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yeah, so cause because technically if you're if you're doing like range attacks, it's a disadvantage if they're too close, but I wanna I would say I would rule it because you're you guys are aiming for his head and his head's pretty high up, you know, it wouldn't be disadvantage, but if you want to attack with scimitar, that's fine too.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

Okay. You can attack like the body and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 17:46

Awesome, yeah. I'll attack his body. I rolled a 17.

SPEAKER_01 17:50

17 hits.

SPEAKER_04 17:51

Nice! Okay. Dang, it's only four.

SPEAKER_01 17:55

Four points of damage? Yeah. But you go in, like right as you break from your your your grapple, and you see the water dice bursts all over you, and while the like the it's almost like raindrops coming down, right? And you just take your cemetery out and you slash at his uh whatever that you can slash at in front of you. Um right as you slash, it scales. You see like the black echo just kind of follows your blade. Hmm. Um, tell it doesn't even phase though.

SPEAKER_04 18:24

Okay. Okay, and then as a bonus action, I'll cast my second win.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

So I just regained one d 10 plus one. Nice! Okay. I gained uh I got nine.

SPEAKER_01 18:40

Nine?

SPEAKER_04 18:40

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 18:42

Cool, cool.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

Nice, okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

Okay. Um everyone give me a wisdom saving throw.

SPEAKER_04 18:50

Wisdom saving throw?

SPEAKER_03 18:52

Let's go. This is where I shine. Let's go. What the modifiers too, right?

SPEAKER_01 19:00

Yeah. So your saving throws should have their own modifiers, so make sure you're using that.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

Yeah. Nice.

unknown 19:07

Oh!

SPEAKER_04 19:08

I got a 20. Let's go. I got a 21.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

Oh shoot, let's go. 21, nice, nice. Um, all of a sudden you both feel something like kind of like entering your your mind, your memories. Um for a moment you almost feel like sad. It feels kind of weird. And then you guys shake it off. Something was trying to do something to you to make you feel a certain way, but you know who you are. Tell I look straight at Black Sky. And Sky, you see as a water tentacle from your side comes out and try to s it's gonna try to slam down on you. 13?

SPEAKER_03 19:47

Uh nope.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

No, it doesn't hit? Nope. Yeah, it just comes down and right as before, like before even hits you, just like disperse. Um with that He's gonna actually Tel eye's actually gonna start like spinning around. And he's gonna slam down with his head. Both of you guys give me a strength saving throw.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

Sheesh. Oh my god, not again. Not the strength.

SPEAKER_04 20:13

Oh my dude! I only hit a seven.

SPEAKER_03 20:16

I hit a five. It's the strength rolls.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

The head comes down, uh, he hits a raft, and every all like the raft, you, you two, you guys go up into the sky like 10-15 feet. And you come back down, the raft comes down first, and then both of you guys fall down with it, and your back just hits the raft, air knocking out from you. Um you guys take six points of budgeting damage. Ugh, I get up.

SPEAKER_03 20:50

Oh my god. Okay. Are you done? You wanna nod your head?

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Yeah, no? Anything? You see, he just comes up after he slams you guys down, he just comes up, he just starts like to like kind of like like uh kind of like just starts shaking, starts moving erratically.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

Uh I think that's a sign, Wagnu. Do you have that detect magic spell on you? By any chance?

SPEAKER_04 21:19

I'm replying from from the fall. I'm winded. Yes. What? Okay.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

I think I think we should try to detect some magic and see if there's anything wrong with him. But I'm gonna attack him first.

SPEAKER_04 21:38

Yeah, yeah, you do that.

SPEAKER_03 21:39

Let me gather myself. And then as I tell Wagnu that I chant my magic missiles. You roll your damage. Alright. Let's go. Magic missiles then. 15. 15 points of damage? Oh, wait, damage? Oh no. 15 to uh to hit.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

You just roll damage. Magic missile hits. Always hits.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

Always hits. Really? Yeah. That's crazy. That's the cool thing about it.

SPEAKER_01 22:04

Wendy for it's like Swift for Pokemon.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

Oh nice, my bad, my bad, my bad.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Alright.

SPEAKER_03 22:10

Four.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

Four points of damage? Yep. Yeah, right as you look towards Wagnew, you just put your hand out and you see uh four magic missile just pops out and it hits Wagnew straight at the center. You can see that he's like taking damage, he's just not reacting to any you're in that's all. Like the like the as your magic missile hits onto a scale, you can see that it's making like like dance and stuff, and his di his scale starts to crack a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 22:36

Oh shoot, I'm so sorry, Jackie. It's actually 12. There's three darts, and then I rolled a four.

SPEAKER_05 22:45

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

Yeah, that's even better.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

They should add a they should make it plural. Magic missiles. My bad, my bad. And then I will do I will use my bonus action font of magic. Uh tap into the wellsprung of a magic within yourself, which is represented by sorcery points. Sorcery points fuels various magical effects. And then pretty much I could just use this as a spell slot later on. And I end my turn.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

Okay, cool, cool. Uh Walking with your go.

SPEAKER_04 23:20

Awesome. You said hit it with magic? I started charging on my fireball. Alright, I'm gonna try to fireball it. Six. I had 13. Ah, that's right. 13?

SPEAKER_01 23:32

13 does not hit. Uh you charge your firebolt, um, you toss it, and you just it just kinda just goes right past it.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

And then as soon as I see Wagner do that, I yell back. I said detect magic!

SPEAKER_04 23:47

Okay. My bad! And then I also explained to Black Sky my Bardic Inspiration real quick, just in case. Um and also just because it got a lot better. But as a bonus, oh sorry. Sorry, I'm gonna just find it out real quick. Okay, here we go. Uh, anyone that has one of my Bardic Inspiration die can use it for one of the following effects. For defense, when a creature is hit by an attack roll, or when you're hit by an attack roll, you can use the die you use your reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the result to your AC against that one attack. And for offense, immediately after you hit a target with your attack roll, you can roll my Bardic Inspiration Die and add the result to the damage.

SPEAKER_01 24:31

So just to give you some like uh Yeah, go ahead, go ahead and bring it up on his turn too, you know, because um it's the new skill and it's fine if you just kinda just remind him like hey yeah, you had this, you want to use it, you know.

SPEAKER_04 24:44

Yeah, yeah, and then uh that'll be it for me.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

Okay, um, as you toss your fireball and it misses some, and it just kinda explodes your firebolt and explodes like behind them, all of a sudden you guys start to see like mist around you. And it starts to get into your throat and you start to choke a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 25:04

Holy.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Um at this point, all ranged attacks have disadvantage until the next round. So that just means all of your spells, your ranged spells attack are at disadvantage now.

SPEAKER_03 25:17

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

Um, Telite is gonna bring Telite's gonna actually attack Wagnu with its tentacle slam. Uh that's gonna be a 23.

SPEAKER_03 26:00

It's eight points of damage. Uh right as your magic missile hits them, you hear uh a familiar voice in your head. Um You can't be calmed right now. You just gotta take him down. Maybe try some lightning attacks if you have it. And then it just kind of fades.

SPEAKER_03 26:59

Did you hear that, Wagnu? Lightning! Lightning attacks. Okay. And then as I tell Wagnu that, I just tap into back into my fauna magic and end my turn.

SPEAKER_01 28:35

Alright. Cool. Cool.

SPEAKER_04 28:37

And then that'll be it for me.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Uh at this point the mist that had entered you, both of both of you, it's uh it's gone now. Um I need you both to give me a wisdom saving throw.

SPEAKER_04 28:53

Dang, seven for me.

SPEAKER_03 28:57

Ten.

SPEAKER_01 28:59

Ten? Um something enters your memories and it starts to bring back a memory from your past that had affected you a lot. Your saddest memory that you've you've ever experienced in your life. Um, what would that be for the both of you guys?

SPEAKER_03 29:30

Gotta think about my character.

SPEAKER_05 29:32

Hmm.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Alright. The saddest memory for Black Sky would be when he and his brother Um witnessing their parents' death.

SPEAKER_04 29:51

And then for me, the memory that comes to mind is I'm fleeing away, I'm fleeing through the forests. From my village as it's being attacked. And I just hear the sounds of people yelling and screaming in agony. And this I hear the sound of like roaring flames. And yeah, yeah, that's the memory that comes to mind.

SPEAKER_01 30:15

Okay, as both of those memories into your minds um for the until the next turn. Until your next turn. Oh, until it's next turn. Um you both have disadvantage on your next attack and your save and throw. It's gonna look towards uh sky. Right as that voice had entered your mind earlier, that familiar voice, um, it catches on to that. And it notices that your wind artifact was like humming. And it's gonna focuses all its attack on you. Um it's gonna go and just bring back another tentacle. It hasn't been able to hit you yet, but it really wants to for some reason. That's me 16 points of budging damage. Dang! Wait, you have my part of inspiration die.

SPEAKER_04 31:09

Just I get it. Oh yeah, yeah. I do. Yes. Sorry, I forgot.

SPEAKER_03 31:13

Use that. Okay, let's go.

SPEAKER_01 31:17

Six. Wait. What are you using it for?

SPEAKER_03 31:20

Uh so it says use d6, add the result to the AC for. Oh wait, oh no, that's just defense. Never mind.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

Uh it it'll it'll work. Yeah, yeah. Uh what's your AC right now?

SPEAKER_03 31:31

13.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

13 plus 6? Yeah. Uh it would it wouldn't be enough. Yeah, it wouldn't be enough.

SPEAKER_04 31:38

I see.

SPEAKER_01 31:39

Yeah, so now you are grappled, you're being hold you're being hold down, hold down by uh this water tentacle. Uh that's his turn. Wait. Sky. Go ahead and go me a uh strength saving throw. He has to be the 14 to break out of it.

SPEAKER_03 31:52

Wait, before before um before my turn starts, I'm gonna cast Hellish Rebuke, which is a uh reaction spell. Nice. Which is a response to taking damage from a creature that you can see within 60 feet of yourself. So if it makes uh dexterity saving throw, take two d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

Okay, it fails.

SPEAKER_03 32:23

Nice! So two d10. That's cool. Two D1 fire damage, right? Yeah, fire damage. Alright, let's go, let's go, let's go. Oh my god!

SPEAKER_01 32:32

Okay, two seven, nine, easy. Uh right as the like the tentacle it kind of holds you in like in place, uh, your eyes just kind of burned, and you release your health rebuke onto till I um fire erupts from under him, even though there's water under him, it erupts under him. And what felt to you that like it should have done like a decent amount of damage? Uh it doesn't seem to be making like till I even flinch or phase.

SPEAKER_03 33:08

Holy. Alright. And then now I have to um roll uh shrink saving throw, right? To get out of the grapple?

SPEAKER_01 33:15

Yeah, string, saving throw. You gotta get a 14.

SPEAKER_03 33:18

14. Okay. 17.

SPEAKER_01 33:20

Oh, your saving throw is a disadvantage, so. Oh, okay. Until after your until it's it's it's turn again. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

So I have to roll twice, right?

SPEAKER_01 33:28

Lower one? Yeah, roll that second one.

SPEAKER_03 33:31

Oh 11.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

Yeah, so you stay uh you stay grappled. Uh let me just double check what grapple does real fast. Because I I'm pretty sure you can still attack if you're grappled. Yeah, so it just means um for grapple, it just means you your speed is zero.

SPEAKER_03 33:47

Oh wow, so I can't literally just can't move. But I can attack.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

I wanna be sure. Because I'm using it quite a bit, so yeah, speed is zero. Um that's pretty much it. Nice. So you're good. You're not moving anyway, so you can't.

SPEAKER_03 34:09

Okay, okay. Get back up, and I yell at him. That's is that the best you got? Cause I got more in me. I pull out my sorceress first. I start charging it. There I come. Boom. Let's roll. 16.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

16. Ooh, let me see. 16 hits. Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 34:35

Let's go, let's go. As I charge my sorcerer's bursts, I yell out to Wagnew. Remember,

A Quiet Thank You

SPEAKER_03 34:40

lightning! And I chuck it up. And as it goes up into the sky, it turns into a lightning strike.

SPEAKER_01 34:47

Boom. Oh, cool. Yeah, it's your um your arms are grappled by the water, and you manage to just kind of bring it out from the water, and you charge your sorcerer's burst, and you let it go into the sky as a lightning strike just comes down to strike Undertelli. Uh, you still you see them start to like kind of like he He w he's like letting out like a roar, but you just you can't hear anything. And it seems to be doing some some um effects, but go and roll me damage, see how much it does.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

And it does a five.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

Five damage. Yeah, as your lightning strikes come down and just hits them, um it seems to be working, doing something. Lightning! Wagner's ergo.

SPEAKER_04 35:36

I look over at the whole turn of events that just unfolded in front of me with the water splashing, black sky, him retaliating with Hell's Rebuke, and I look back at uh Tilli, and then I'm cast mirror images.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Mirror images, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

Or mirror image, yeah. So it just gives me like um three illusionary duplicates of myself appear in my space, and then uh each time a creature would hit me with an attack roll during the spell duration, I roll a d6 for each of my duplicates. If any of the d6 roll a three or higher, one of the duplicates is hit instead of me. But then the duplicate is destroyed. Otherwise, it ignores all other damage and effects. And I have I I look over the black sky, I don't have any lighting! I was gonna uh I'm just gonna pass it with this.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

Um that's so cool. As your turn ends, you guys hear uh off in the distance like a bark. Um and then as you turn to where the bark at, you see uh frost on top of this tree. And he jumps down onto the the raft with you. He goes over to Sky and in his mouth he just kinda like um as you're being grappled, he just kinda in his mouth he has you see that he has like some berries in his mouth. And he just kinda like pops them into your mouth. Thank you, Frost. Uh you gain four hit points back from that. Nice. Now everyone give me a strength saving throw.

SPEAKER_03 37:26

Alright, that's now or never. 14. 18. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 37:32

Uh go ahead and roll me uh three saving throws for your mirror images too.

SPEAKER_04 37:37

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 37:38

I'm not sure how like AoE attack works for mirror images, so I'll just do this to be safe.

SPEAKER_04 37:42

Gotcha. Uh so I'm gonna do it with the effect of the mirror image. It says that um if uh I roll a D6, if any of the D6 I roll a D6 for each of the duplicates, if any of it is three or higher, then one of the duplicates is instead of me. One One of them got hit. Yeah, one of them got hit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

Yeah. Uh Telike is like looking at you and then from underneath the water, almost like it has like a like a mind of its own. It just splashes and it just uh convulses underneath your raft and everyone just goes up with it. Like you like like you just had like a bump. And you guys go ten feet into the air and everyone comes back down. Uh Sky, you're able to just kind of even though you're grappled right now, it's almost as if the water kinda like stopped your impact, lessen your impact, and then uh Wagnew, you land right back down, uh two of your images lands back down, and then one of them gets taken out. Um You see Frost just lands like right on top of uh Sky and then just jumps down. With that, Talai is gonna keep its focus on Sky. Uh Sky, give me a constitution saving throw. Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 39:03

19.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

Talai is trying to attempt to drown you with tentacles. It covers the tentacle, just covers your whole mouth. Um you start to kinda like claw at it, try to claw at it, and then you try to you start to gasp for air, and then all of a sudden you're able to just kind of puck your head out and you can breathe again. Go ahead, uh, that's gonna be it, sir in the sky. You're go. Alright.

SPEAKER_03 39:31

I am just gonna cast Sorcerer's Burst again. 15.

SPEAKER_01 39:40

15 to hit? Yep, 15 is 8c. The AC of Cellai. Nice nice.

SPEAKER_03 39:46

Okay, we go for 8. Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 39:51

5. 5 points of damage. Uh is you're doing the same way you're doing it? Yeah. At this point, um, when you cast your sorcerers first, you it's almost like it just sparks in your hand and like a lightning comes from the cloud and just strikes onto Tell Eye. It's doing it's hurting it. You can tell it's hurting it. Even though because every time it hits him, he just like opens his mouth like he's screaming in pain. He just can't hear the roar. Then I will Oh, I forgot. Give me your uh saving throw to to break out grapple too.

SPEAKER_03 40:22

Oh, okay, okay.

That's not working, and you stash your scimitar, it's it's you're going at his um as you stash them, you see just the black egg grow flying everywhere. Uh from that, you don't see any reaction from from Telai.

SPEAKER_04 41:31

Okay. And then that'll be it for me. That'll be on my turn.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

So one's action, you wanna do anything?

SPEAKER_04 41:36

Nah, it's okay.

SPEAKER_01 41:38

At this point, your frost is just gonna try to scratch. He just starts scratching at the water, that the tentacle that's holding down Skye. And you just start scratching at it. Uh Sky on your next saving throw, you get an advantage. Okay. He's trying to help you. Um. Everyone, you start to feel like a mist showing up again as it enters your throat. Uh the both of you will have disadvantage on your range attacks until the next turn. The next round. And Telite is gonna attempt to drown you again, Sky, while you're still grappled, so go and give me a constitution saving throw.

SPEAKER_03 42:21

Go big or go home. That's right. 15.

SPEAKER_01 42:28

15, 15, you're good. As it comes up over you, you just like you just he manages to break out of it and your head comes out. Too slow. Um at this point, the water that's grappling you, it starts to turn black, like the icker that's coming out from its its scales. You're gonna take eight points of narcrotic damage.

SPEAKER_03 42:49

Holy. Oh my god. I'm down.

SPEAKER_01 42:54

You're down? I am down. As you come out and you say too slow, and you start to feel like this narcotic energy overcoming you, and then before your the slow can even skip for your mouth, you just go silent. Uh it's your turn, so go ahead and make me a death saving throw.

SPEAKER_04 43:50

Okay, if I I can use a spell as a action and then use another spell as a bonus action, right?

SPEAKER_01 43:59

SPEAKER_01 44:30

It'll be uh medicine check where you can use their spell to you use like a healing spell. Yeah, it brings him up automatically.

SPEAKER_04 44:37

Okay, I have a healing spell then, perfect. I'm gonna go ahead. I look at him on the ground after what just happened. And then I'm gonna go ahead and cast Cure wounds on him. So a creature I touch regains the number of hit points to 2d8 plus my spellcasting modifier.

SPEAKER_05 45:03

So let's go.

SPEAKER_04 45:05

That's good, that's seven. And that's four, so that's fifteen total.

SPEAKER_01 46:31

13. Oh. Yep, just saved. Let's go. Um, you feel like the s from your side, like the water kinda just bumps a little bit and like it's trying to throw you off the rafts, but you kinda just hold on. Um and after that you see like another tentacle from behind you comes in and just slams down on you. That's gonna be a 23.

SPEAKER_04 46:55

Alright, let me see. Real quick with my last two mirror images. Okay, so I did get hit, so I roll a d6 for each of these duplicates. If one of them is a three or higher, the duplicates hit instead of me. Nice! Okay, so four on the first one. So let's go! Yeah, so it'll get hit in me. Okay, yeah, but then it dies.

SPEAKER_01 47:19

Yeah, it comes down, yeah, it just hits it, and you see your mirror image just boom, just disappears. I laugh. I'm like, ha ha ha!

SPEAKER_04 47:27

You thought that was me! You thought that was me.

SPEAKER_01 47:31

That was my uh it starts to like it starts to like kind of growl towards you, you just like nothing comes out, but you can tell it's trying to growl at you. Uh go ahead, Sky, here go.

SPEAKER_03 47:43

Okay. Uh how close is Tulli to us and the raft? Like, can we physically touch him? I'm assuming so, since we could strike him, right?

SPEAKER_01 47:50

Yeah, you can touch you can touch his like his um his body. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 47:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:54

It's just his head that you're trying to aim for his head, and it's a little higher up, that's all.

SPEAKER_03 47:59

And then after getting up, oh gosh. That was mid damage you did on me. Can we talk now? Can you lower your head? Can we just talk?

SPEAKER_01 48:13

You're hearing your head again. Don't waste your don't waste your time, Sky. It's no use.

SPEAKER_03 48:23

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 48:24

Um This is G this is G A's voice. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 49:12

Alright. And then point blink, I'm gonna cast shocking grasp.

SPEAKER_05 49:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 49:19

Let's go. So lightning springs from you to a creature that you try to touch. Obviously, I'm touching him now, because I just didn't make a medalic spell attack against the target. Unhit the target takes 1d8 lightning damage and it can't make opportunity attacks until the start of its next turn.

SPEAKER_02 49:35

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 49:36

Alright, let's go. 15.

SPEAKER_01 49:41

15, yeah, it's his AC.

SPEAKER_03 49:43

Nice, nice. Nice. So how much did it hit for? Uh now I gotta roll for damage. Where's the eight? Where's the eight? Oh my gosh. Did I lose my eight? No, it's right here. Alright. Six.

SPEAKER_01 50:01

Six. Plus two modifiers.

SPEAKER_03 50:04

Oh yeah, and then I'll I'll add bar dev inspiration.

SPEAKER_04 50:08

The combat nice.

SPEAKER_03 50:10

Oh let's go.

SPEAKER_01 50:12

Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 50:14

Five.

SPEAKER_01 50:15

Let's go! Let's go. Eleven? Yeah, eleven. As you touch him, um, and you cast your trucking grasp. It's almost as if the clouds above it like heeds your call as well. And lightning comes down and strikes him too as you hold on to you touch his head. 11 lightning damage doubled because it's weak to it. That's 22 points of damage. How do you want to kill him? As I touch his head, that's exactly how much HP he has left. Oh, let's go.

SPEAKER_03 50:55

As I touch his head, I start grabbing it with a fern grip. And I tell him, Ha ha, you stop. And from there, I just keep like I keep um grabbing as hard as I can until like pretty much like I electrocute him to death with the lightning strikes from below the sky.

SPEAKER_01 51:15

Okay. Uh yeah, you just keep doing that, and after a while, as his mouth kind of just stays open, finally you can hear something come out from it. And the words you hear are just Thank you. As he kinda just starts um as as like the lightning disperses, he just goes up, listen to the sky, and just kind of falls back down slowly until he goes all the way down underneath. And you guys are now out of combat.

SPEAKER_05 51:52

Whew.

SPEAKER_01 51:55

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 51:56

Dude, let's go. Let's go. That was by far the hardest combat. Dude.

SPEAKER_04 52:02

I used to like basically all my spell slots, dude. I only have one left.

SPEAKER_03 52:05

Holy shit.

SPEAKER_04 52:07

Oh man, that was dope. That was dope. That was awesome. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 52:10

For a while everything is just quiet. As Tulai falls underneath the river, everything's still. And then you start to feel like a low vibration that poses through the vr the riverbed. And the black icker that was on Tulli, it starts to kind of flood and spread through the through the river. And all of a sudden you see something comes out from the river. Rising like a like. At first it's like a smoke that comes out. And then the smoke goes away, and you see what it is. It's like a blue orb. And it just kind of hangs. Floats right in front of you. Both of you.

SPEAKER_04 53:05

Alright. Dude, that was awesome what you just did do that thing.

SPEAKER_03 53:13

I look over and I call it. Oh I don't I don't feel too awesome.

SPEAKER_04 53:20

No, and I saw you use that thing I gave you. Nice, nice.

SPEAKER_03 53:24

Yeah, I know. That's you truly want us this battle, Wagner. That was thanks to your healing abilities and your specialty.

SPEAKER_04 53:32

We won it together. I'm glad you had lightning on you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 53:38

I'm glad too.

SPEAKER_04 53:39

At least one of us did. Okay. So we should be careful with this though. Do you feel anything resonating from it?

SPEAKER_03 53:48

Let me pull out my wind artifact and try to see if there's any gravitation towards this. So I'll pull out my wind artifact.

SPEAKER_01 53:59

You pull it out and your artifact starts to hum, and the orb in front of you starts to hum as well.

SPEAKER_03 54:08

Uh I definitely think this is the water artifact.

SPEAKER_04 54:14

Okay. Then we should be careful. And then my last spell slot. I'm gonna use the spell identify.

SPEAKER_01 54:26

Okay. I believe you have to touch it right now.

SPEAKER_04 54:29

Yes, so I'll slowly walk up, and then as I reach out to touch the orb, I'll cast identify.

SPEAKER_01 54:39

As you cast identify, and as you reach out to touch um the orb in front of you, the water article. What you get from this is you don't see all the effects yet, but you understand the name. You see, it's almost like as if it's in your mind. It speaks to you. The tides reflection. It's almost as if this is a calm river and then hurricane all at once. And at this point, it just the orbit rests rests on your hand. And it tells you the ways to attune to it. Being in silence. Or being one with the flow of water. So mechanically, it's just you have to uh you know attempt to attune to it by being still or being around like bodies of water, and you just have to roll the DC 10 or higher to see three times pretty much.

SPEAKER_04 56:05

So I it's in my hand still, right? Is that everything that I gather from that spell identify?

SPEAKER_01 56:17

Um you do gather that whatever effects that it has from there on, it'll only show even with identify spell, it'll only show to the person that attunes to it.

SPEAKER_04 56:30

Gotcha. I see. Okay. I'll look over to Black Sky. And I'll I'll show him the the orb. Look! It's just like yours.

SPEAKER_03 56:49

And I pull my mouth and I yell back. Yeah, it definitely looks the same. How do you use yours?

SPEAKER_04 56:56

I don't know how to use this.

SPEAKER_03 56:59

Uh I tried meditating. Maybe you could try meditating too. Hmm. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 57:07

So what also, as you put out your wind artifact, um, you see that the wind artifact is almost like a like a puzzle piece. And on the inner part of it, it seems like it'll attach to the water orb like they go together.

SPEAKER_04 57:25

Wait, are you are you noticing this? Are you seeing this, Black Sky?

SPEAKER_03 57:30

It my orb definitely shifted it to a piece. It looks like a puzzle?

SPEAKER_04 57:41

Yeah, it looks like it fits right next to my piece here.

SPEAKER_03 57:49

What do you what do you think we should do?

SPEAKER_04 57:52

I Okay, I I think first we need to rest.

SPEAKER_03 57:56

And then I agree.

SPEAKER_04 57:58

Yeah. We can figure out how to how to go about this, because just in case this is dangerous or it summons another one of those.

SPEAKER_03 58:04

Oh wait, yeah, what if this triggers something?

SPEAKER_04 58:07

Yeah, let's let's find somewhere to rest first.

SPEAKER_01 58:10

And then we can figure out you guys give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_03 58:15

Holy I got a Nan 20! Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 58:19

I got an eleven. You notice that Frost is kind of just looking out from the raft. Uh looking towards where Teli had fallen. And then you see him kinda go into the water and pick up the mouth out of his mouth. Uh seemed to be a horn that was on Teli's one of his horns. He turns to you, and at this point you see the waters in front of you. Just it comes up. Like a a wave. With a nap 20, you see it first. You turn to sky. But before you can even say anything, the wave comes and just splashes down on the both of you. You don't have any time to savor the moment. A thunderous roar tears the riverbed. And suddenly the lake just surges. Uh the banks explode outward, and the ground beneath your feet gives way. As you try to gasp, as you try to look for each other, the current takes everything. Darkness, that's all you see.

SPEAKER_04 59:51

So are are we on land though now?

SPEAKER_01 59:54

Or your eyes starts to open, and those words come. After your mouth. Are we on land? And do you find yourself on like jagged rocks? And looking out towards the sea.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:14

I'll look around for black sky.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:18

Black sky is right next to you.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:21

Okay. Good. And then I'll I'll try to shake him up to wake him up.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:31

Bo. Oh. Man, another wave crashing on us. Yeah, we don't get any breaks. Where where are we?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:45

I don't know. But but just give me a second while you catch your breath. And I'll walk a little bit away from Black Sky. And I'll look out towards the sea kind of like um where I saw when I first kind of regained consciousness. And then I'll walk a little bit further from Black Sky. Just so that it's quiet enough where I can hear the waves or the water. And then I'm gonna pull out the water element and try to attune to it.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

As you pull out your water element of artifact and you try to attune to it, all of a sudden you hear a bark. And then you hear a voice. Hey, slow down there, buddy! From behind um sky. Uh so this is where you're taking me to. Are you guys okay?

SPEAKER_04 1:01:48

Yeah, who are you? And I kinda like put my hand up just in case for a fireball.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:55

You turn around and you ask that from uh a good distance away. What you see is a Goliath. He looks kinda like Kratos from God of War. He has like tribal tattoos, uh he's super like beefy, um, buff as hell. On his back he has like a giant axe. Named Zaliov.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:28

I was uh uh uh forget it. Anyways, I found you. Thanks to you this dog here.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:36

Does he belong to you?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:39

Oh yeah, he's with us. He's with us. Come here.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:42

And Frost comes towards towards you.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:48

Where did you find him?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:51

Well, I mean it's more like he found me and he wouldn't leave me alone, so I just followed him. Did expect to see the both of you here. Are you guys okay?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:03

Yeah, but we're a little we we we were just in a scuffle. We're a little tired. Do you have a place to rest?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:12

Uh it depends on what you mean by a place to rest. I mean I have a camp just not too far from here. It's just a fireplace and a bedrow, but may do.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:26

We'd be grateful if you could let us rest for a bit.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:32

You come with over to Black Sky. Are you okay?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:36

Uh uh I could use a good night's sleep.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:42

Your goodnight's sleep? I mean the it's only about midday now. You're already to sleep, don't you think?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:51

I could use a good night's sleep. He picks you up, um, puts on puts you on his shoulder. Well, you look a little beat up. Follow. I'll take you to my camp. I got some fish. It's grilling over there. Hope it's not burnt.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:17

Cool, I'll follow this guy.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:20

I'm being carried.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:24

I'll follow him, but I'll keep my eye on him because I don't fully trust him just yet. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:30

As you two start to follow, you see um frost goes back to um where the rocks were, and he just kind of like looks around for a little bit, and then he picks up something in his mouth and he starts to follow both like the three of you.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:44

I can carry you all the way there, friends, if you like.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:47

Oh, that's okay. I I'm good. Just make sure you get good hold of him. He he got injured pretty bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:54

Yeah, he doesn't look like the type to be fighting.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:57

You'd be surprised, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:02

You guys are starting to walk through the path, and at this point, you guys are heading through um like the very edge is just like the forest. It's not too far from here. You see his camp, it's just a fireplace and one bedroll laid out. On top of the fireplace, you see like five fishes being grilled. He dropped sky on the ground and just rushes toward the fish. Oh, oh man! Just in time. Oh, sorry about that, friend. Uh didn't want the fish to burn. That's alright, how's the fish? Could use a little seasoning, but it's not too bad. It it'll get us through.

unknown 1:05:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:58

Comes over to both of you, uh, hands you a fish, uh, picks up back sky and takes him closer to the fireplace. He sits down like right across from you, the both of you, uh, looks at you. I can just tell from your eyes you guys haven't had any rest for a while, huh?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:25

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:28

You could say so.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:29

What's been going on? What's your story?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:35

I look over the black sky real quick. We were out hunting, and um my friend here was um struck by a mountain goat, and it threw him in the water. He almost drowned. And I was barely able to fish him out, that's why he's so injured. Also, I injured myself going in the water. That's why I'm also injured. But yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:59

Alright. Well, first of all, why are you hunting for mountain goats in the water? But uh, go ahead and run me a deception check.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:09

Oh, that's good. It is 17 plus. It's 22. Let's go. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:22

Come to think of it, I do remember some mountain goats that swims a lot. I guess they're a little tastier in the water. Yeah, yeah, you know, you get

Footprints

SPEAKER_01 1:07:30

it, you get it. Well, eat your fish. Uh it's gonna get cold.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:40

I'll tear off a little piece and give it uh to Frost first. And then I'll eat it.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:48

Frost takes it, eats it. Frost drops the uh whatever he was carrying in his mouth on the ground and he takes your fish and starts to eat it.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:53

Oh yeah. Um as I take a bite of the fish, I I notice or I'll go look at what Frost had in his mouth before.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:03

Uh you pick it up and it's it seems to be a horn from Teli.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:10

Oh, okay. Um I will grab it, not like hecka quick, but just kinda put it away just so that um Zaliov doesn't notice it either. Yeah, I'll just quickly grab and put it in my bag or something.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:29

Slide of hand.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:30

Slide of hand. That is Oh, I thought there was like a slide of hand thing. There is dude, it's only nine, unfortunate.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:52

Nine? Yeah. Uh you go pick it up and you start to put it in your bag. Interesting stick there. I wonder if you can make some you can, you know, poke some fish with that. I could probably get like ten fishes on that thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:06

Uh this thing? Nah, it's probably useless. This dog always brings random random crap to us. I'll just put this away.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:16

Yeah. Dogs, they do that.

unknown 1:09:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:22

So if you I mean if you don't mind me asking, uh where are the two of you headed?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:29

Um hungry.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:36

To be honest, hunting for mountain goat stuff into your mouth. It takes the fishes up in your mouth.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:43

Thank you for helping my friend there. Um to be honest, we're traveling. We're we're just kind of trying to keep ourselves alive and traveling on along these along these forests side here.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:57

But what it takes a look at the both of you. Uh looks at your clothes, like the way you carry yourselves. You kinda like squint. You guys aren't from here, are you?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:15

Well gave it away.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:19

I look at Zalef. I'm like I mean it's not too obvious. Look at me.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:26

Well, first of all, if you're six feet, why don't you have a sword? And your muscle. I felt it when I cured you.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:42

It's a waste.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:48

Yeah, that I I agree. I'm a little bit slimmer on the tall side. Uh I have a dagger, or that counts.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:58

He takes us his axe. What's the dagger gonna do? Slabs on the ground. You gotta get one of these.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:06

Um I think those are a little too big for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:11

Here, why don't you try to hold it? Let me see if it fits you. Kinda just push it towards you. Hold it out towards you.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:22

Thanks.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:24

I just wanna see.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:29

Uh okay, yeah, I'll I'll try to hold it up.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:33

Um, how are you holding the d the axe?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:35

Uh just as if like it's a uh wood chopping axe. Two hands.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:45

Hmm. Oh seems you got the string for it, but that form needs some work.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:54

Form, huh? How how would you hold it?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:58

He takes it for you, he just lifts out one hand. Like this. Just starts swinging around.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:07

Uh yeah, about that. Again, the muscles. I think uh that's a little a little too much for me, Zaleff. I appreciate it though. I'll I'll keep that in mind.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:18

He does have a laugh. Uh I'm just teasing you, man. It's alright. He sits back down. I'm also not from here, I can tell. That's what I can tell. Well, I guess technically I would be from here. If I could just find my village, that is.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:44

Uh what village is that?

SPEAKER_02 1:12:51

They call it Kayesh.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:56

It's supposed to be in Yuping and this is where it led me. My travels. I'm hoping I'm close by.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:07

I hope so too. I'm looking for a village too, so I know.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:12

Oh, are you now?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:14

Yeah. Yeah, funny enough.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:18

What kind of village?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:20

I don't even know the name of it, but all I know is that it was a village of bards, and um it I don't even know if it exists anymore. But I also heard it was here, so I'm looking.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:36

Hmm. I see. Well, the village I'm looking for it's supposed to be a village of stone and so.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:46

You see huts carved into the earth, massive obsidian pillars. I don't think that's somewhere bards would be. But you never know.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:00

Yeah, do you do you do you think you can take us to your village?

SPEAKER_01 1:14:07

I feel like I'm close. Uh I've been tracking some some footprints. Not too far from here. And in comparison to mines, they look a little similar, so I'm I think I'm a little close. You guys are welcome to follow me if you like.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:26

Uh look over to Black Sky first. Wanna rest first?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:33

Yeah, we should rest first. We should definitely rest first.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:40

Alright. I'll look over to back to Zalef. We'd be more than happy to, but we have had a long day and are long overdue for a rest.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:50

Of course, of course, we can go tomorrow morning. Doesn't have to be tonight. Starts to get like a little dimmer. Uh moon starting to come out now. Sorry, uh what was your names again? I forgot to ask you.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:10

I'm Wagnu. I'm Black Sky of the Valley.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:19

Of the valley, huh? Interesting names. Well, now that the secret's out and I know that you're not from here, tell me. For real is this time. You can't be just in Yuping to look for mountain goats, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:42

I am going to deceive him and say No, we actually we're looking for mountain goats.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:53

God wrong with such a jet.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:57

Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:01

16 Are they really that good?

SPEAKER_03 1:16:09

And I'm gonna lie again. I've never had any, and that's the main reason why we're looking for mountain goats.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:18

That's crazy. So you're telling me that the boat the two of you crossed the Nakul Paths just for mountain goats. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:32

What can I say? It's our passion. We we love hunting them.

To Home

SPEAKER_01 1:16:42

It looks like you're uh the dog next to you, Frost. You know, for some reason that that dog there seems very familiar. And you see Frost just kinda goes up to him and just kinda like uh rubs against his um his leg and then just kinda like sits, lays down right on right by him.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:06

What do you mean by familiar, Zalyov?

SPEAKER_01 1:17:11

I feel like I've seen him before. Looks kinda kinda like the dog that I saved with uh a friend I met in the cool pass.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:24

From the wild?

SPEAKER_01 1:17:28

Well, it's a funny story because we actually killed his uh I shouldn't say this in front of him, and he covers the dogs here. We actually killed his his family, but my friend insisted on taking him along. Oh, that's uh they're yeah, they were actually attacking us, so it was self-defense. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:50

Interesting story.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:54

Hmm. Well, it seems to like you. Yeah, he does, huh? And you know what? I think that dog's been a good judge of character, so if it likes you enough, if it trusts you enough to like you, I think I'm warranted to trust you too. Alright. We aren't just here for mountain goats. We're actually What's no way? I mean, yes, we are here. That's one of the reasons we're out here. But we're also out here because we're looking for Have you ever heard of the elemental the elements?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:43

No idea. What what is it?

SPEAKER_04 1:18:47

I don't even fully understand it, but we've been called for called to search for them, and our search brought us here.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:00

Man. I wish my friend was here. He's actually from Yuping, and I'm sure he he'd have some information if he was here.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:12

Oh no way. Is your friend near? Maybe we can talk to him.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:18

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:20

Like right when we when we crossed the Nakua Paths or the Nakua Paths, uh he just disappeared with a dog. That's why it's so weird that I this dog here looks so familiar.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:35

Uh does this friend wear a has a white hoodie on by any chance with red stripes?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:42

Wait, what? You met him too?

SPEAKER_03 1:19:50

Is this guy for real?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:54

You can roll me inside check. Uh uh, whoever's trying to see if he's like in the like for real's or not.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:59

I I just know the 19, so I'm good for it. Take it, take it.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:03

Yeah, he he seems just to um uh be telling the truth, uh, he doesn't seem like uh like a super like you know like intelligent guy, but he doesn't seem to be someone that would like.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:14

I think you know our our friend Shisui.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:19

Shusui, that's yeah, that's right, that's his name.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:23

Kinda like uh yeah, all white, uh faces always covered, some red sashes, uh carries uh two two swords. Kinda kinda depressed a little bit, right? That guy?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:38

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds that sounds just like him. Wow. This is our first time. Where is he?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:49

Where so damn wait where is he though?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:54

We have no idea. We lost him.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:57

Yeah, yeah. Funny enough, uh, he split from us as if he did the same to you.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:06

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry, dude.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:11

Ah, it's alright. But maybe you can help us find him and or we can help you find your village. He'd be a great help. He's a great fighter.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:26

Yeah, I mean This is his home, you know, you pink. Mm-hmm. He shouldn't be too far. I'm sure he wouldn't just leave the two of you and his dog behind.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:40

And we should look for him. After we rest.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:48

Of course, I'm sorry. Uh it's been a while since I've you know I've met others. It's a little a little lonely out here by by yourself.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:02

You know what? Now you got us.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:06

Uh he gets up and stretch. Well, I won't take your your time any longer. Uh you two have been through a lot. I'll let you two rest. And he just goes over to his bedrow. Kind of just kinda get settled in.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:23

Alright, I look over to Vlognew. Can we trust this guy? I too watch over us while we sleep.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:34

I think so. Frost seems to trust him. And she's so he trusted Frost. Something about all this makes me feel like this is where we're supposed to be.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:52

Okay. I'm tired. Yeah. Let's rest. Yawn. Oh. Sounds like a plan.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:05

What's the final thought that goes through um your minds as you guys kinda like set up your bedrows and prepare to rest for the night?

SPEAKER_03 1:23:20

Um as I'm setting up my bedrow, I just think about what Telai said to me. And how he thanked us. And just thinking, what or how he became corrupted, how it changed him to look the way he did, and how unfortunate that we didn't get to have a moment with him.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:49

As you as those thoughts enter your mind, like simultaneously you also think of something else too. You think of your encounters with Black Dawn coat. Your encounters with Vanguard. You remember how they desecrated his sacred shrine shrine with blood everywhere. He also wrote me a let's do a wisdom saving throw, please.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:23

Dang. Six nineteen.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:28

You start to hear a voice and you start to look around to see if anyone hears it. But Wagnu seems to just be doing his own thing, setting up a setting like setting up his own bedroom. Uh Frost is just kinda like cuddle in between uh Zaliov. And you start to hear in your mind as the fire in front of you kind of flickers in and out. Good enough.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:02

Um I look over behind my back, look straight to the flames. And I whisper out to Wagnew. You hear that?

SPEAKER_04 1:25:20

Hear what? No, I I didn't. What? I'm kinda like kinda like dazed, kinda tired already. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:29

It's it's the same voice I've heard since the first night we met Shizui.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:40

What's it telling you?

SPEAKER_03 1:25:45

It's I can't make it I can't make it out. It's just it's saying d enough and voy.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:53

D enough and voy I I don't know. I d I have no idea what that means.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:10

It can't be a coincidence. It's okay. We had a long day. Yeah, maybe we were just tired.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:20

Yeah. Wagnu, what's your thoughts before you kind of settle in?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:31

Hmm, as I'm laying out my bedding. My final thoughts before I rest are I'm thinking about the horn that Tilli that came off of Tilli that um Frost had brought over. I didn't get it fully inspect it and look at it, so I'm just kind of thinking about it. But also I'm thinking about the feeling I had when I touched the the water element, the orb, that feeling of the calm river and hurricane all at once. It's very like distinct and it's running through my mind. Like I'm it's like Yeah, I'm like running through that feeling again.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:13

Yeah. As you think about that, the water artifact on your body starts to hum. Almost as if it's like a part of like a like a bigger song. The horn that you have in your bag, it glows just for a little bit. As if essence of Telai still resides there.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:51

I'll can I pull out the horn to look at it? Okay. I'll pull it out but a little discreetly. Yeah. And I'll just kinda look at Sorry. I'm just looking for the um for like any sort of magic residue or um like the source of the humming, which came f or which I don't know which came from.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:20

So I'll pull it out and I'll also pull out the water element.

unknown 1:28:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:24

Roll me a perception check. Or investigation.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:29

Investigation.

unknown 1:28:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:31

Whatever ones you want. Whatever one's higher.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:33

I'll do perception. Yeah. It's 13. Dang.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:39

13. You take out the horn and you take out the water element. There seems to be like some kind of like connection to the two. It's just very dim. But as you hold the horn in your hand, you find that your fingers kind of almost fit perfectly into like the groves on the horn. And as you turn it around, you see that there's like holes in the horn. And you you turn it the other way and you see there's like a a hole at the top. Almost as if it's it looks kinda like a flute. Now that you're looking at it, like I'm taking a closer look at it.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:32

I'ma look around real quick. I still want to be discreet about this, but I'll move the the horn up to my lips and I'll try to I'll blow it, try to play it.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:46

You blow into it and a sound comes out from it. It sounds like a whisper, it sounds like a a whistle. It's a very calming and soothing sound.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:00

Hmm, that's neat. That's cool. I wonder why it was on that thing's head.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:08

As you play it for a little bit, um you hear a bark from frost. But as it comes out from a bark, it suddenly becomes something else. You hear. Aren't you tired?

SPEAKER_04 1:30:28

What I look around. What?

SPEAKER_01 1:30:30

SPEAKER_01 1:31:11

Are you doing anything particular or you just blowing into it?

SPEAKER_04 1:31:13

I'm just trying to play it and see if I hear that voice again.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:18

At this point, you see uh frost kinda like rushes towards you. Um Sky, you hear you just hear like a you know like a dark like a bark. And then Wagnew, you hear? God damn it! I thought you said you were tired. And it's it sounds the same, it sounds like it's underwater, it sounds like beautiful, haunting.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:41

SPEAKER_01 1:31:44

Of course I'm talking to you.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:46

SPEAKER_01 1:32:04

He turns to Black Sky, just barks. I don't want to talk to this guy.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:30

Of course we're tired. You're hallucinating. We're talking to a dog. He turns around, goes up to Zaliff.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:36

Wow. I'll never cast Kiry Wounds on myself again. Okay, and I'm just gonna go lay down. I'll put the um I'll put the element and the horn away and then I'll go lay down.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:51

As the both of you lay down, umly during this whole time, Zaliaf actually gets up and just kinda keep watches. The both of you have a a full eight hour, a full long rest. You guys heal up, get your spell slots back.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:18

Let's go. Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:21

You guys can change any spells if you guys want to. You can you can do it next time. Um and the sun comes out. The fire is put out. Wakey wakey friends! Time to start going.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:43

Oh I wake up and I like just look around and make sure I have my like my bag with the horn and the element in it. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:55

Yeah, you look into your bag, everything is there.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:59

Take a sigh of relief and then I get up.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:03

Oh smarty. Oh I was as much needed rest. I feel good. Yeah fresh.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:12

You slept like a baby.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:15

Yeah, I know. I needed that after everything.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:19

Yeah, you know you suck your thumbs when you sleep, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:34:23

Huh?

SPEAKER_00 1:34:27

It's true.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:29

This guy watches you sleep, black sky.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:33

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:41

Well, to Kayesh we go. It's gotta follow the footprints.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:50

Yeah, yeah, Kayish. That's that's your village, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:34:55

Well, I mean I I hope so. That's what I I've concluded anyways.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:03

I'm not even I'm not sure. I mean What is home anyways, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:35:10

Hmm. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Interesting. I will cast detect thoughts.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:18

Hmm.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:19

Okay. Okay. Uh I will cast detect dots, and I will actually use retots on uh re-thoughts.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:31

What is that?

SPEAKER_03 1:35:33

Yeah, so target one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself. Um that you detected with sense thought option, you learn what is the most on the target's mind right now.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:45

Okay, and you're re you're going deeper than that, right? So I have to roll a saving throw?

SPEAKER_03 1:35:50

Um, you know, it doesn't say. I just say the activate the spell. Because it's a level two option. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Wisdom. Wisdom wisdom saving throw.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:00

Okay, he fails anyway, he wrote a four. So um right as you cast attack thoughts, the first thing you see on like on the um on the outer of his mind, you hear, um, oh man, I'm hungry. Damn, should have shared those fish yesterday. Uh one fish wasn't enough. And as you go deeper, you start to see memories. You see him crossing the Nakuo Pass with Shusui. You see his conversations with Shusui about how he's looking for his village in Yupang, and you see how Shusui volunteered to lead him through the pass because he'd had already went through the pass once already. You see, as they cross the pass, you see the dangers of it. You see just snow and ice everywhere. You see as they the both of them had enter a cave and they come face to face with a beast that looks like frost. One bigger and one more dangerous. You see as the tattoos on Zalia glows red and his eyes turns like enraged as he acts down this bigger beast. And then you see as they come out on top of a mountain and they look down upon Yuping. Is there anything you're looking for specifically? He failed your saving throw, so you can if there's something you're looking for specifically, I can try to dive into it.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:49

Uh no, I I was just trying to see if like he was telling the truth about his village.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:57

He's telling the truth, but he doesn't know either.

unknown 1:38:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:02

He's never been to his village, so he he in in his mind you can he keeps like you know searching for his home. But he doesn't even know what a home is.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:13

Okay. Alright, and then before I leave his mind, I wanna search and see what he was doing before he found us with before Frost went and found him and led him to us. Like pretty much like what he was doing while we were fighting uh Telly, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:36

Um you go even deeper and you try to bring like a recent memory. Um you see him as he comes upon the twin waterfalls of Zujikan Falls, um, you see him pick up a rock. Oh that's a nice rock. And then all of a sudden you see as the currents of water just pushes out from the the waterfalls and he just gets like swept along with it. Um you see him underwater, like struggling to like you know to breathe. Uh and then you see him appear on the jagged rocks that you guys had appear on. He goes and he makes like a fire, he sets his bed row, and all of a sudden a dog comes and barks at him, and he comes towards the both of you. And then at this point he sees you're kinda like just staring at him. What is it? You like something you see? Uh this pex just shakes.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:40

No, no, uh, don't don't mind me. This is just how I normally am.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:48

You know I was the champion back at my other home, right? I get I get those uh those looks quite a bit. I can tell when someone likes me.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:59

Oh really, yeah. Well it champion of what?

SPEAKER_01 1:40:04

The strongest Goliath Strongest Goliath, huh?

SPEAKER_03 1:40:14

I'll I'll keep that in mind.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:15

Is Alif He winks at you Anyways, you guys ready? Yeah, I think just about okay, gather your stuff and just follow me.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:36

Cool, I'll pack up all my stuff. Yep, yep, same.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:41

As you two follow uh Zaliav and he's just kinda tracking the footprints. You see, um you start to see as you guys leave the forest correct monoliths. You see like shrine ruins offerings, you see a lot of dried moss. As you move through the stones, the earth seems to shift slightly beneath your boots. Reactive. You see uh Zalia stops at a boulder and places his hand on it, closes his eye for a little bit before he continues on.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:29

What are you doing there? Zalia, why'd you just do that?

SPEAKER_01 1:41:34

Just paying my respect to the earth. And he just continues on. It shouldn't be too far. Let's keep going. Unless you're tired.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:49

No, lead the way.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:53

He continues to be in the way with Frost by his side. Um like a narrow part. And then the cliff starts to part. In the crater of broken mountains, you see a village of stone. You see huts carved into the mountains of the earth itself. You see massive obsidian pillars that reaches towards the sky, and smoke that curls from long communal harps. But the both of you, it's what it's what's beneath that stirs your breath. Your artifact starts to hum. Uh the wind artifact hums a little more than the water artifact. You hear in your voice, Sky. Be careful here. Remember what happened to Telli. It'll be the same.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:14

And then I will whisper this over to Wagnew. L GA is telling me that. This will be the same situation with Teli. You feel anything with your artifact?

SPEAKER_04 1:43:30

That's strange. I didn't nobody talked to me. But yeah, my artifact I don't know, it's kind of acting up.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:39

You said you were talking to Frost yesterday?

SPEAKER_04 1:43:44

Oh yeah, yeah. Um, but I could have just been tired. Give me a sec. And I'll reach in my bag for the horn. And then I'll play it again.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:56

Um, any any specific tones, or you just kinda just blow into it?

SPEAKER_04 1:44:02

Hmm. I'll blow into it. Uh Nah, I'll just blow into it, just play it a little bit.

unknown 1:44:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:13

Just to see uh you blow into it, and what you and Sky see, and then Zalia turns around too, is as you're playing into it, the horn starts to glow. It glows like a like a dim blue. The color is like uh you know chakra from Naruto. Um and all of a sudden, in your mind, you understand what this is. Almost as if you had cast to identify on this horn. Talai's whisper. That's the name. Though it's fragile looking, the flute is impossibly durable. Its notes seem to echo inward as much as they project outward, and often invokes feelings that the player cannot explain. Or cannot you cannot explain. Uh this item or this wandrous item or this horn allows you to cast identify once per long rest with no materials. It also allows you to cast speak with animals once per long rest. And then once per long rest, if you played this flute or this horn near a body of water, you may ask the water a question.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:43

That's awesome. Okay, that's awesome. Let's go. That's hella dope actually. Okay. Is it um I can do each one of those per long rest or just one of those for long rest?

SPEAKER_01 1:45:58

Uh each one of them per long rest. But then with that, I would say as you're holding on to it, you active you used it. Um at this point you're attuned to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:08

Oh awesome. Okay. I'll look over to black sky first. I get it now. I get it now. I understand. What is there to get? I can talk to Frost. I can speak to animals.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:34

You could talk to Frost?

SPEAKER_04 1:46:37

Yeah. And I'll try to do it real quick. Watch this. Frost, come here.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:48

God damn it. What do you want?

SPEAKER_04 1:46:51

Here. Uh and I'll look I'll look around real quick. Um, go give me that stick.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:58

And why should I do that? You have any berries on you?

SPEAKER_04 1:47:03

Uh come on. I'm trying to show the black sky something here. Even though I'm doing it right now.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:10

Uh fine. You owe me ten berries. Go to the stick, pick it up. There. Every stick is ten berries.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:22

I'll take the stick from him. Alright, I know that was that didn't look like much, but I can hear his I can I can hear what he's trying to say to me.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:30

You can hear what he's trying to say to you, and what is he saying? I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. He's a crazy man! Crazy! Okay. I'm not saying you are, I'm just trying to understand.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:45

Okay, he said that you'll him berries. Ah, fair enough. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:51

Um and Zali's just scratching his head. You guys done playing back there or what?

SPEAKER_04 1:47:58

Yeah, of course. Zali, does your village have any water around it?

SPEAKER_01 1:48:06

I don't know. First time I've been here.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:09

Dang.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:10

He looks down to the village. Uh I'm sure there's something there, like maybe like a hot spring or something.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:21

Well, sorry for that little holdup, but let's go check out your let's go. Let's go check out your village.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:29

Uh he starts to shake a little bit. Oh man. I've been dreaming about this like my whole life. It's finally here. Home. Turns towards the both of you. Maybe, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:48

Maybe. Maybe.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:52
