SPEAKER_04 0:00

Welcome back, welcome back everyone. It is your favorite elf bard, Wagnu.

SPEAKER_05 0:06

It's your DM Jackie. And your troublemaker sky.

SPEAKER_02 0:12

Uh your fighter, Shishui.

SPEAKER_07 0:15

Yeah, troublemaker sky.

SPEAKER_02 0:17

I can get with that.

SPEAKER_07 0:20

Welcome back, Wonders. Um Jor's back.

SPEAKER_04 0:24

Good to be back.

SPEAKER_07 1:06

So last time, you had to deal with the fallouts of Silverfus' death and the truth about his involvement with the Black Dawn. As you all ascended back to Kayush, you hurried along to the council with Silverfus' body, covered. Many of the dwarves and Goliath's eyes darted your ways, and a black jaw approached you. Discovering what had happened to an elder of Kayash, he raised his arms in preparation to fight, but not before Skye's menacing aura intimidated him. This allowed you to all reach the council, noting that Wagnu has been very, very quiet. Before the council, Shavra and the others questioned you about the truth. Skye revealed his suspicion about Silver Fist, and through the use of Zona Truth, you were able to prove that the elder had truly been involved. What followed was a series of important moments. Black Sky told Yur the truth about Renji and made amends with Mammu. Shusui used his woodworking skills to carve a statue of Silver Fist, only for it to be burned by Black Sky. In the aftermath, the people of Kayush came together and built your group a boat. You left Kayush with newfound resolve as Yur handed each of you a token, a new symbol forged from a piece of each of you. As a new flag of Kaish was raised, you sailed toward the mainland of Yuping, a beacon of hope for what was to come. After five days, you finally arrived. Your head began to ache as you fell to your knees, with Shu Sui collapsing soon after, though not before he glimpsed the darkness solo in Yuping. Just in time, Frost transformed, growing wings and lifting the three of you into the air, flying toward where it all began.

SPEAKER_06 3:00

Do Wong Village.

SPEAKER_07 3:16

And during this time, only only Sky is the one very like conscious right now. And then a wave of water comes rushing towards you. You wake up from this the sequence dream. You're coughing. You look to your side, you see black sky right there. You look to the other side, you see Shusui on the ground still.

SPEAKER_06 3:42

You see us frost is chasing its tail. Still the little dog. That you remember how he was.

SPEAKER_07 3:56

Shusui, at this time you um you're able to get up as well, and you both you and Sky see Wagnu coughing.

SPEAKER_04 4:07

What the hell? Shusui.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

You're finally out of your uh your your weird phase. You seem conscious and talking again.

SPEAKER_04 4:20

What? What was I saying?

SPEAKER_02 4:24

Well, it's been almost two weeks of basically nothing. Like you were in a in a daze. Oh. You barely talked, you slept a whole bunch. We barely got you onto the boat.

SPEAKER_04 4:39

I I the last thing I remember. Oh dude, my head. My head's killing me, man.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

Yeah, I mean it was pretty rough what just happened.

SPEAKER_04 4:56

What where's Black Sky? I'm here. See, you're finally awake. Yeah. And Frost?

SPEAKER_02 5:09

Yep. Uh not sure why Frost is what happened with Frost, but he looks to be back to normal. Uh let's uh let's let's try and figure out where we are. I'm not not quite sure what happened after we uh hit land.

SPEAKER_04 5:32

Alright. Do you guys have any idea where we are?

SPEAKER_05 5:37

I mean Can't really No idea. I mean maybe you can ask Frost. He just evolved and flew his hair. Doesn't look familiar either.

SPEAKER_04 5:54

I'll walk over to Frost and I will use my speak to animals ability given with the item.

SPEAKER_07 6:04

Okay. You walk over, you play your your flute, and you start to hear in almost as if um Frost is speaking underwater. And you hear him say, Oh, I'm so tired. He just keeps chasing his tail.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Frost. Frost, what happened? Huh?

SPEAKER_07 6:37

Whoa! Are you speaking again? Yeah. I thought you were dead. Well why? I don't know. You're you've been like a zombie this past two weeks.

SPEAKER_04 6:52

I'm having trouble remembering what happened. How did we get here, Frost?

SPEAKER_07 6:59

Uh I think I flew us here, but I don't know how I did it.

SPEAKER_04 7:12

Nice. You really continue to save us after all.

SPEAKER_07 7:17

Yeah. I've heard I've I've heard that I'm the main character.

SPEAKER_04 7:23

You should be. I walk over and give him a little pet.

SPEAKER_07 7:29

He kinda just leads into it. Uh Shusley, give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

Alright. Uh 10.

SPEAKER_07 7:46

Ten. You look around and you don't recall exactly where this is, but you know this is around Dowong Village. It seems to be a path that you the your group didn't take the last time.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

Uh what time of day is it?

SPEAKER_07 8:10

Um it's about like twelve PM. It's about noon right now. You can see as you you kind of like uh ponder what kind of what time is it it is right now, you also notice that it's not as bright as it should be like Sky, where's your your head at?

SPEAKER_05 8:53

Uh I'm just kinda lost because Frost just dropped us out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_07 9:06

And so Yeah, so you saw everything that happened.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

Yeah, so I'm just kinda confused. So um I will go to Wagnu and just ask him what Frost told him. So, any any updates from Frost Wagnu?

SPEAKER_04 9:28

Well, he just told me that he's the main character and he took us here somehow. Weirdo doesn't even remember.

SPEAKER_05 9:37

I mean, but does he know where this is? Cause this doesn't look any familiar to me. Does it look any familiar to you?

SPEAKER_04 9:46

No. But can I look around for water?

SPEAKER_07 9:54

Um You look around and without having to roll anything, you can see that you're looking for like a big body of water, right? You can see that there's nothing of that sort around here at all. What's your passive perception though?

SPEAKER_04 10:18

It is 16.

SPEAKER_07 10:25

But as you're looking around, hoping to find some kind of like stream or some kind of water, you do see in the distance what seems to be a village of just ash. And from that you can tell that that's the wong village when you had when the three of you had burned it.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Hold on. Don't include me in the verdict of the village. I I tried to stop them. That's true. I tried and failed.

SPEAKER_05 11:14

Second degree, third degree type stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

Okay. I'll point it out to Black Sky too. And um just swing. Hey, doesn't that look familiar? You two?

SPEAKER_05 11:28

Uh it's just it looks like a burned down village. I mean, uh don't know how that could look familiar, but yeah, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

How many burned down villages come to mind?

SPEAKER_05 11:46

Uh just probably the one I've only ever burned? The Wong Village?

SPEAKER_04 11:54

That's exactly what I was thinking. Did How do we end up here?

SPEAKER_05 12:02

Frost, did you do this? As I turn Frost.

SPEAKER_07 12:07

Just barks at you. Um, Wagnu here is um. I think I did.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

He says he believes he did. Why why would you bring us back? Burn down the village. No, I didn't do that. Wait, he's he said he had nothing to do with the village.

SPEAKER_05 12:26

No, no, no, forget the village. What why did Frost bring us back?

SPEAKER_04 12:31

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 12:32

Frost?

SPEAKER_04 12:32

Why'd you bring us back here?

SPEAKER_07 12:35

Oh, uh, I don't know. It was just the direction I want to fly. Wait, did I fly?

SPEAKER_04 12:41

I think I flew. Wait, I don't think so. I didn't see it happen, so it must have not happened.

SPEAKER_07 12:49

He starts walking, he starts barking at Sky. You saw, right? You saw I flew.

SPEAKER_04 12:55

Yeah. Frost is mad at you, Black Sky. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_05 13:02

Okay. Sure. Um so Frost doesn't know why he brought us here. And if he says it's Duong.

SPEAKER_07 13:10

I saved you! As he um keeps barking at Sky. I saved you all. The darkness was gonna swallow you all up. Wait, I'm the hero here.

SPEAKER_04 13:21

Frost just mentioned something about the darkness. Did you see anything like that?

SPEAKER_05 13:26

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

Yeah, basically, as soon as we hit land, uh everything turned really dark and distorted, and uh tried to swallow us up.

SPEAKER_04 13:37

Oh. That sounds familiar. Doesn't that ring a bell, Black Sky?

SPEAKER_05 13:46

Or uh yeah, it quite literally just happened a few days ago. So or a few hours. I don't know how however long it's been since the sky brought us here. I mean, for us.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Interesting. I also haven't been feeling like myself. I wonder if the two are correlated. But nonetheless, do you guys have all of your belongings? I'm I'd I'd tap around my body to double check.

SPEAKER_07 14:18

Yeah, you start checking, you start like uh just patting yourself down. Everything there, everything's there.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

It's uh yeah, it's uh good thing that whatever was left on the boat wasn't uh super important, just leftover supplies for the journey here. But uh We should probably get out of the middle of like the opening. We'll just head to the village, see if we can kinda kinda find somewhere to stay and figure out our next move.

SPEAKER_05 14:52

Yeah, I mean, if that is the Wong Village. But yeah, I I agree. We might as well check it out.

SPEAKER_07 15:03

Okay, so you guys are heading back to where De Wong Village is at. Alright. It doesn't take long. You start to take the road back to the Wong Village. As you get there, you can see that it's just burnt ash, wood. There's nothing that really is still there intact. Shoo sweet, you do realize that this is um as you get to the wang village, this is um one of the paths that you guys did not take, and this was the path where you guys came from was the path to the graveyard. But you are back at the Wong Village now, and all you see is just ash, how it was when you had burnt it down.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Well, it doesn't seem like much has changed here. Everything is still ash and uh charcoal.

SPEAKER_05 16:17

What do you mean? Much has changed here. What what was this place?

SPEAKER_02 16:23

This was uh now that we're closer, this is definitely noong village. So let's uh let's try not to burn down anything else while we're here. Just because the people don't live here anymore doesn't mean we could, you know, disrespect their their home.

SPEAKER_05 16:47

Wait, but where's the gate? I don't remember us taking this. I've never seen this route before.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

Yeah, this gotta be one of the other paths. It's probably not uh not one of the main roads in and out of their village. Especially since it seems to be leading to their graveyard.

SPEAKER_05 17:11

I see Wait. Graveyard, you said Yeah. Alright, well there's something I want to check since we're here.

SPEAKER_04 17:29

Oh yeah, lead the way.

SPEAKER_05 17:32

Alright, I will do a investigation check for GA's grave.

SPEAKER_07 17:45

Okay. Um Go ahead and roll me a investigation check.

SPEAKER_05 17:54

There we go. First roll of the day. Sixteen.

SPEAKER_07 18:03

Sixteen. You start to look around your vicinity for GA's nameplate. Um where you're at right now, you see a lot of uh tombstones, but there doesn't seem to be any that says the name GA on it.

SPEAKER_05 18:32

Huh. Okay. And then I will look for Renji.

SPEAKER_07 18:41

And as you're looking as a thought of the name Renji enters your mind, you look around and just by like near the the other side of the entrance or the other side of the gate. You see um a tombstone that has the name Renji on there.

SPEAKER_05 19:21

Alright. I will walk up to it. Okay. I will walk up to it and I will start digging for his coffin.

SPEAKER_07 19:40

Okay, you have a shovel or anything? Oh damn. Yeah, Shusui, you see this going on as you're kinda like falling behind Black Sky and he's just about a you know grave rob Renji's grave.

SPEAKER_05 19:50

Damn, I don't have- What are you doing? Alright, as I'm like digging down with my arms. Or my hands, I respond to uh Shusui. There's something here. I I mean since we're here now, there's something here that I need to check for.

SPEAKER_04 20:08

Okay, but does it warrant digging up someone's place of rest?

SPEAKER_02 20:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:14

I mean like digging. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it does. Um matter of fact, if it has a shovel, it will save us so much more time.

SPEAKER_02 20:21

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for?

SPEAKER_05 20:26

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just um help help help me dig. Digging with my hands. Frost, come help us, Frost. I'm digging. So so no one has a shovel, huh? I'm just digging.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

Uh nope. Best I got is a crowbar. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

Alright. Are you are you guys helping?

SPEAKER_07 21:00

You guys helping him dig or I'll help him dig.

unknown 21:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:04

What are we looking for?

SPEAKER_07 21:06

Okay. Uh Shusui, you hand your crowbar to Skye, and Sky's just kind of like digging around with it. Um, Wagnuke, you you crouch down, you start helping Skye to dig as well. Uh Frost doesn't seem to care too much about, you know, digging up the grave, so he's kinda like just hanging out with Shusui at the moment. It takes a little while. This is uh it is six feet deep, so and you are using your hand. But you manage to dig all the way down to where you see the coffin. It's like a wooden coffin.

SPEAKER_05 21:48

Oh man. Alright. Thanks for the help, guys. I reach into my bag and I pull out the wind artifact. Alright, old man, what do you want to do? Where are you? Uh, if there's a time to talk or speak, it's now.

SPEAKER_04 22:10

What are you getting us into? Black sky.

SPEAKER_05 22:16

You guys remember that the Elder? When we were last here? Elder GA? So it turns out his real name was Renji. And I don't know how he was named GA, but he was the previous guardian for the wind artifact. And his memories brought me back here. And there's I guess you could say a gift that he loved us.

SPEAKER_04 22:53

Okay. I'm just gonna take a few steps back.

SPEAKER_02 22:59

I just think a microwave and also take a few steps back.

SPEAKER_07 23:10

Um you hear only you hear this in your head. You hear Ridge's voice. It's green.

SPEAKER_05 24:05

And I will pick it up and put it over my shoulders. Essentially equipping it.

SPEAKER_07 24:14

Is there a way you're you're reaching for this?

SPEAKER_05 24:18

Uh, no, just I'm like just reaching down with my hands.

SPEAKER_07 24:23

Okay. You reach, you grab the cloak, and as you grab it up, you see as Renji's bones and skull just kind of collapse. And you hear you had a nice going, Sky. And you had the cloak on you.

SPEAKER_05 24:46

I l I talked to the stone. I mean, I was gonna ask if you wanted me to cremate you or not, but Hello, Coldman? Why not? Just just do it. Okay. And then I cast Firebolt. Firebolt.

SPEAKER_07 25:18

Okay. Fantastic. Hold on, Black Sky. Yeah, both of you guys see. Because you guys can't hear Sky's talk of energy, so you hear Skye just pointing his his hand at the uh the tombstone. I'm not the tombstone, the coffin, about to cast fireball as like fire starts trickling around his his hand.

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Wait, wait, Black Sky. Hold on.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

I just nudge and walk through it. I go, is this something related to magic? He's talking to himself. I don't know. This is this kind of like how you were, except like more talking.

SPEAKER_04 25:52

I've supported him in a lot of things, but I don't know if I can get around this, Black Sky. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 26:00

How far are you guys from me? Just a few steps.

SPEAKER_04 26:04

Yeah, yeah. I wanna say just a few steps back.

SPEAKER_05 26:08

As soon as they they say that, it's just like they just see like a burst of flames. And because like the body, the bones, and the like casket is burning, I can't hear them, so I'm like, What what did you say?

SPEAKER_02 26:24

I just I just turn around and look away. I'm like, uh what what am I getting into? I'm starting to associate with criminals.

SPEAKER_04 26:40

What's the point of all this black sky? We just desecrated someone's grave.

SPEAKER_05 26:46

As I walk out from the six feet uh hole that we dug, I go to Shisui. Hey, that patch from the first time. Do you still have it?

SPEAKER_02 27:00

Uh I think so.

SPEAKER_05 27:02

Yeah, if you don't mind, can I have it? I'll trade you an item for this potion.

SPEAKER_02 27:14

I mean, there's no need to trade. If you need it, you can just you just use it.

SPEAKER_05 27:20

Yeah, that I I would greatly appreciate it.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Were you trying to take the shoulder patch?

SPEAKER_05 27:29

Yeah, the shoulder patch?

SPEAKER_02 27:31

Yeah, that's fine. Alright, now I'll hand it over. Alright, well you do need to attune to it, but yeah. Uh you enjoy that. Alright. Although you don't need to attune to it.

SPEAKER_05 27:46

Well, here you go. You can take the potion of greater strength anyways. It'll be giant shrink, I should say. It'll be better on you. And um, I didn't mean to cremate Elder G A, but that was one of his requests, so.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

Um My eyes bounce from him to the flaming gray and back.

SPEAKER_05 28:15

But yeah, he he left a gift for me, and um this this is it. And I like twirl around and show them the green cloak. Nice you have it on you right now? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 28:32

And you're wearing it, right?

SPEAKER_05 28:33

Uh yeah, just on like on my shoulder. Just like as a regular cloak.

SPEAKER_07 28:38

Cool. Yeah, it's a it's a vr even though like um Renji's body has been like, you know, just goes and bones, this cloak is it's still pretty intact. You see like a little um little hose here here and there, but but it's not like where it's not usable, you know, where you can't wear you left this for you?

SPEAKER_04 29:09

Yeah. I guess so. Or what is it for?

SPEAKER_05 29:16

Is that something that like I don't know, it has like it looks like it really looks like we get out of here this game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 29:36

Let's uh see what are you where's your head at right now?

SPEAKER_02 29:51

I'm torn. I'm debating whether or not this guy has gone insane or if he's actually hearing voices. Because I know ghosts and spirits are real, but criminal activity is still criminal activity. And I kinda just look at the potion of Hill giant straight, and I kinda just tuck it into a pouch.

SPEAKER_07 30:15

And you said you gave the shutterpad to Sky Knight.

SPEAKER_02 30:18

Yeah, I moved it to the party inventory.

SPEAKER_07 30:21

Nice. As you have these thoughts in your head, um you start to hear footsteps from behind or in front of you actually. And because you're you're the one that's like looking that way. Usually you see as three figures up here. They're also cloaked up in black cloak.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

I kinda snap my fingers at the other two trying to get their attention without making too much noise. Guys, guys! Over over there. This place is abandoned. There shouldn't be anyone here.

SPEAKER_04 31:21

Someone's here? I pulled out my scimitar.

SPEAKER_07 31:25

Walking as you pull out your scimitar. I need everyone to roll initiative.

SPEAKER_05 31:29

Ah damn No Okay.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

I I got a 10.

SPEAKER_05 31:38

I wasn't ready for this yet. I got a ooh, I got a 2021. Nice. Alright, uh.

SPEAKER_02 31:50

Okay. And I'll roll for me, and then I'll roll for Frost. I got twenty-one, and then Frost. Uh Frost got five. He's still tired from his transformation.

SPEAKER_07 32:13

First guy out of eighth. So who got the ten? Um Wagnew, right? I need you to roll again.

SPEAKER_04 32:41

I got seventeen this time.

unknown 32:44

Wow.

SPEAKER_07 32:44

Okay, cool. And uh Shusui and Lexai, you both had 21.

unknown 32:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 32:49

Okay, I need you guys to uh do role these.

SPEAKER_02 32:57

You can just go first. Yeah, yeah. I'll go first. I'll go first.

SPEAKER_07 33:01

Yeah. Boom, cool. Um Sky, your your fireboat to the grave alerted these these three to come towards you, and you're the first. Shusui was the first to see it, but um, you you're the first to react. Alright.

SPEAKER_05 33:18

And I noticed them in the black blackout outfit, and so I bring it up to Shisui and Wagnu. Do they look like black Dongoons to you guys?

SPEAKER_02 33:34

I mean, it's not exactly normal to be walking around in black cloaks with weapons.

SPEAKER_04 33:41

Whoever they are. They are any closer, they're gonna get in trouble.

SPEAKER_07 33:47

They are about Yeah, as you say that as you say that, Sky, they look exactly like the same cloak and outfit that the uh the guns were wearing when you guys were underneath Kayesh. The only difference is that these guys, instead of like traveling in groove, these guys are just the three of them and they seem a little bit more tough.

SPEAKER_05 34:07

Okay. I will walk up uh three tiles. So that's 15 feet. I walk up 15 feet and I will taunt them before I do anything.

SPEAKER_07 34:23

Go ahead. What do you what are you trying to do?

SPEAKER_05 34:25

Hey, you three. Are you guys by any chance with the black dawn? That one of your friend, was he what was his name? Vang Vang Vang Loser, Vang Bum. Oh man, I for I should have asked for his name when I killed him.

SPEAKER_07 34:49

You see, as uh the the two in front with the swords, they they just kind of beneath their positions, and you see the one behind him. Um That cloak you want it. I'll say that's your bonus action.

SPEAKER_02 35:09

Ah bonus action top.

SPEAKER_05 35:12

Bonus action top. Uh, whatever. Why would I ask you questions when I can just interrogate you? And I will cast slow on them.

SPEAKER_07 35:26

Oh shit, what does that do?

SPEAKER_05 35:28

Alter time, yeah. Alter time around up to six creatures of your choice in a 40-foot cube within range. Um the range is 120 feet. Dang. Each target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw, it will be affected by the spell for the duration, which lasts up to one minute. Um the target speed is halved, it takes a minus two penalty to AC and dexterity saving throws, and it can't take reactions. On its turn, it takes it can either take an action or bonus action, not both, and it can make only one attack if it takes the action at the attack attack action. If it casts a spell with some magic, there's a 25% chance the spell fails as a result of the target, making the spell's gestures too slowly. And they repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, and then the spell on itself on a success.

SPEAKER_07 36:15

Okay, okay. Um you go to cast slow on these three as you're you're trying to intimidate them and you're just um shitting on Bangor.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

You see the counter spell.

SPEAKER_07 36:33

You see that behind you, um, the one who's who's in the back, he just raises his hand.

SPEAKER_02 36:41

I need you to make me a um save.

SPEAKER_07 36:50

It is a con save, yeah. Con save.

SPEAKER_02 36:52

It doesn't use the spell slot though.

SPEAKER_07 36:54

Yeah, if he counters it, don't do the spell slot. So he's counter- he's counter spelling your slow, so you need to make a DC con save 16. 16?

SPEAKER_05 37:03

Oh man. I'm rolling this for the aura right now, baby. I'm looking good. I got my green cloak on. Let's go. Oh my god, 23. I can't stop.

SPEAKER_07 37:14

Yeah, you you see. Let's go. He raises his hand to counter spills you, but uh you can see that his hands move slower and slower, and never really reaching that final motion. As they are now all slow.

SPEAKER_05 37:30

Ah man, you gotta be quicker than that. The the vein, whatever his name was. Yeah, you're too slow. Uh you're probably gonna I'm probably gonna kill you. And I'll end my turn. Okay, Shusu, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:43

Alright. I see them moving slowly, and I'm just like Well, I guess it's how I practiced my archery, so I'll scoot up a little bit. And then I will just use my uh my longbow and I will uh I will attack them. Uh let's see. Ooh, not 20. Get critical. Holy snap back. Let's go.

SPEAKER_07 38:12

You're going after the one in the back? The one trying to counter spot you guys. Alright, guys.

SPEAKER_02 38:15

The one I know is the mage, because I'm not trying to get whole person again. Okay, and then that's a D eight plus five. What is that? Uh four uh it's two dice, right? Four, eight, thirteen damage.

SPEAKER_07 38:34

Thirteen damage. So it's actually the uh the max damage die for one of them, and then you only roll the Oh that's even more. Yeah, so you only roll the one dice. And then modify afterwards.

SPEAKER_02 38:47

Oh yeah, yeah, then that's 17.

SPEAKER_07 38:50

17 damage, nice, nice. Okay, yeah, you you shoot him.

SPEAKER_02 38:56

Now he is applied to a slow from my uh weapon mastery.

SPEAKER_07 39:01

So double slowed.

SPEAKER_02 39:04

His speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of my next turn. Uh oh, and then if I hit him more than once, it doesn't decrease more than 10. So then I will uh I'll aim towards uh what's the ping? Forgot what the ping was.

SPEAKER_07 39:26

Uh the top of your thing, there's like a gesture tool on your icon. It's just like a three-year-old, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:39

It's it's uh right by a character model.

SPEAKER_02 39:49

Oh whatever, I'll just shoot the one in front next to the tree.

SPEAKER_06 39:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 39:57

And then that is a 15.

SPEAKER_07 39:59

A 15. Um, as you shoot him, you see as his sword slowly raises up just in time to catch your your arrow and slices it off.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

You mean his natural AC is 17? That's crazy. At least that's crazy. I'm impressed. Uh and then I'll make my turn.

SPEAKER_05 40:26

Wait, they take that minus two penalty AC. Oh, that's right. So it's 15.

SPEAKER_02 40:33

Wait, 15 hits it. Never mind. Let's go.

SPEAKER_07 40:37

Let's go. You're right, you're right. I forgot the minus two penalty. You're good, you hit it.

SPEAKER_02 40:41

Okay, alright, and then uh that's another T5. What's that? Oh my god, that's only six damage. But now that guy is also slowed. Alright, that's my turn.

SPEAKER_07 40:55

Yeah, he slices your arrow and your arrow just kind of spits and hit him anyway. Um so these guys they can do one action only or one bonus action only, not both. Yep. Nice. Good thing this guy's a mage. He is and slow is a concentration effect, right? Oh no, it's not. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 41:20

It's not? That's crazy.

SPEAKER_07 41:22

That's fucking crazy. Okay. That's a control. Alright. He's actually gonna look towards Sky. And he's gonna cast inflict wounds on you.

SPEAKER_02 41:41

Wait, there's a chance the spell fails, right?

SPEAKER_07 41:45

Yeah, there's a chance.

SPEAKER_02 41:48

Oh crazy.

SPEAKER_07 41:51

I lied. He can't do it. It's a touch it's a touch effect. Okay, nice. Shit, I think he only thinks it was whole person. Alright. Um everything else is just not it's not good enough. Alright, he's gonna cast whole person on Sky.

SPEAKER_02 42:13

So Sky, you have some concentration spell.

SPEAKER_07 42:15

Oh, it is? Yeah, it is. I didn't even see that earlier. Okay, cool. That's even better. Sky, you gotta make a wisdom saving throw. Uh 16. Oh, that's light work. Let's go.

SPEAKER_02 42:32

Oh, a six. Wait. Did we roll to make sure the the spell actually succeeds? Because there's a 20% chance that the the spell fails, right?

SPEAKER_07 42:43

With a slow, right? Yeah, with the slow. Yeah, I I don't know how that's calculated. How does that work? Let me see. How does that work?

SPEAKER_02 42:51

Roll a d4 if it's a one that fails.

SPEAKER_07 42:57

25% chance. Yeah, I guess the d4 will make the most sense, right? So if it's um so if it's a one, it fails. We'll do that, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:06

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:07

If I roll one out of the four, it's it fails. Three. Okay, cool. So you you actually get paralyzed, and then you are not held down by the whole person. I don't know if this cancels the concentration or not. If you're paralyzed, I feel like it it would.

SPEAKER_01 43:33

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 43:38

Let's see. It says it's a control spell, so oh wait, no no no. Uh yeah, it's a concentration spell, so yeah, I want to say paralyzed, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 43:56

So once as soon as you're paralyzed, your concentration breaks. And your um the slow spill dissipates. So each turn, at the end of your turn, you have to make a 16 wisdom saving throw in order to get out of it, right? And that's gonna be its turn actually. So Wagner, you're next with the the swordman, the swordsman, the mercenary up next.

SPEAKER_04 44:25

Man, looks like everyone has new tricks. We got Black Sky casting slow. She's sweeies shooting arrows.

SPEAKER_07 44:37

That was actually a broken ass spell, actually, but in recent uh I'm ready for him to use it against us.

SPEAKER_04 44:45

Have inspired me as well. So I'll walk up. And then um I'll try to cast Firebolt on the the Mage is the one that has this whole casting whole person on Black Sky, right?

SPEAKER_06 45:03

Correct.

SPEAKER_04 45:04

Damn, it's kinda far though. Um I'm still gonna give it a try. Yeah, I'm still gonna just give it a try. I'll use firebolt on the mage.

SPEAKER_07 45:17

Okay. Go ahead and roll to attack. He hit I just wanna say that the tree is kind of blocking him, so he does get a plus AC is uh pretty much covered right now. Half covered if anything.

SPEAKER_04 45:31

I just rolled 18.

SPEAKER_07 45:32

I don't know though 18 18 hits. That's high enough.

SPEAKER_04 45:37

Nice.

SPEAKER_07 45:38

Go roll your damage.

unknown 45:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 45:48

One. Okay. Six total. Oh, sorry. Six?

SPEAKER_07 45:54

Night. Sorry.

SPEAKER_04 45:57

Two D ten.

SPEAKER_07 45:59

Yeah. Okay. So six total? Mm-hmm. Unfortunately. Nice. Yeah, your fire bolts uh just kind of goes through, goes past the tree in front of in front of him and hits him right on his like his thigh. And you can see him tick a knee. So he has to make a concentration saving throw now. So six. He needs to be pretty much a six to save. He saves.

SPEAKER_00 46:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 46:30

So the whole person is still in tech. So it's got your still held down. You got a bonus action.

SPEAKER_04 46:39

And then for my bonus action, I'll just cast Bard again inspiration on Shisu. Give him one of my Bardigan Spiration dies.

SPEAKER_02 46:50

Alright, cool.

SPEAKER_04 46:51

And inspired. Do you remember how to how you can use it?

SPEAKER_02 46:56

Uh what is it? For attack rows, saving throws, and ability tricks?

SPEAKER_04 47:04

And um a defense. If you're hit by an attack, you can use the blocking. Yeah, add serious C, and if you do get a hit that goes through, you can use the die to add to your damage.

SPEAKER_02 47:16

Okay, it's for damage now for hit.

SPEAKER_04 47:18

Okay. Cool. And then after that I'll just pass on my turn.

SPEAKER_07 47:22

Alright. Uh this guy's gonna rush towards Sky.

SPEAKER_02 47:31

Sky, you are paralyzed, so this is the one that's 10 speed, but I think that's still close enough.

SPEAKER_07 47:40

This is the other guy though. This is not the guy that you hit. This is the guy you hit.

SPEAKER_02 47:43

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 47:44

Alright. So he comes all the way. You are paralyzed, so I believe it's advantage against you. And if it hits, then it's a crit for sure. Uh it's gonna be uh 15 to hit.

SPEAKER_05 48:02

15 to hit?

SPEAKER_07 48:04

Oh, it hits. Yeah. So you take the you take the crit. I'm only gonna roll the one dice. Holy shit. You take 20 points of stashing damage as the Zora comes down and just slashes you on your shoulder. Um He's gonna try Nah Actually, no, that will be an action actually, actually. But you can see that he's trying to go for your your cloak now. And he's gonna end his turn. So this is the guy that has the minus the next one is the minus 10 movement. He's also actually gonna rush towards 5, 10, 15, 20, just enough to get into in front of Wagnu. And he squares over with Wagnu, and he's gonna try to attack you. Natural one misses. Yeah, he he goes in to you know swing at you and something inside of you, maybe the memory from before, you just kinda jump over to the side and he just misses. It's a very very nostalgic feeling for you. Frost's turn next with the guy on deck.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

Alright, uh Frost will just run up. Uh he'll He'll run up over here. And he'll attack the guy. Uh was it? He gets advantage on his attacks, so back tactics. Uh what is that? 19 19 hits. Uh three damage. And then uh the target has to make a uh Oh no, there's no statement, he's just prone.

SPEAKER_07 50:08

He's just prone? Alright, yeah, he just falls to the ground then. Or to his knees. He's prone now.

SPEAKER_02 50:15

Nice, nice.

SPEAKER_07 50:16

Any attacks against him now is uh advantage.

SPEAKER_02 50:19

And then since his uh his character she has not been updated, he doesn't have multi-attack or anything, so that's just his start.

SPEAKER_07 50:31

Scott, yeah, do you Scott, your hand is just like outstretched, you're just frozen like in place right now. Go ahead and make me your save.

SPEAKER_05 50:37

I have to be 16.

SPEAKER_07 50:39

Yeah, you gotta be 16. It's pretty high. That is pretty high. Not for you. This guy's pretty powerful. That's low kind of fucked him up though, for us.

SPEAKER_05 50:49

Oh ten.

SPEAKER_07 50:52

10. Yeah, you're still in place. Shoot suit or go with the mage next.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

I go uh walk new, stall them, and then I will continue to try and shoot the mage.

SPEAKER_04 51:07

I'm on it, so I will Okay.

SPEAKER_07 51:10

If you want to move around a little bit to get like a better look, just because the tree and frost is a little bit more.

SPEAKER_02 51:15

Yeah, I did the line and I do have an angle on him.

SPEAKER_07 51:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 51:20

Or I think maybe not. Here I'll move like over here, it's fine. I gotta move it.

SPEAKER_07 51:29

Yeah, you got the movement. Use it. You can move like that.

SPEAKER_02 51:31

So that's uh 22 to hit.

SPEAKER_07 51:34

Yeah, 22 hits.

SPEAKER_02 51:38

Uh do I want to do any bonus? I should probably do some bonuses. Um, I will make this a menacing attack. So I will add a d8 to the damage. Uh, why not? I'll add the uh Bardic Inspiration to die too. Okay, so that's uh 13, 16, uh 21 damage.

SPEAKER_07 52:05

21 damage? Holy shit, let's go. How do you wanna do this, man?

SPEAKER_02 52:10

SPEAKER_07 52:33

Yeah, you let your I'm like yeah Let your arrow fly and it strikes true, hits him right in the head, he just like kinda does like a little flop, buffs to the ground. Uh at this point, Sky, you are not held down anymore.

SPEAKER_02 52:48

And then uh what is it? And then I still have my second attack, so I will just attack the guy next to next to Black Sky. Okay. Oh man. Alright, uh what was that? 22?

SPEAKER_07 53:10

SPEAKER_04 53:44

Cool, okay. So um I have the dual wheel kind of feet, so I can like. I technically didn't take out both my swords, but I think it also says that like it lets you Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay. So I don't I don't need the naction.

SPEAKER_02 54:05

SPEAKER_04 54:17

Okay. Good. I'll worry.

SPEAKER_02 54:19

Your free item interaction.

SPEAKER_04 54:21

I'll pull out my rainbow blade too, so skinitar and rainbow blade in hand. And yeah, since I have advantage on this guy, I'll hit it with the rainbow blade first. So we go. 20, wow. 25, wow, okay.

SPEAKER_07 54:39

SPEAKER_04 54:43

No, no, not a natural 20.

Oh, I uh it's a natural none. Not natural. Oh, is that oh is it for prone too? Should be, right? Let me double check. I don't think it's automatic for prones. Only for paralyzed, I believe.

SPEAKER_04 55:26

Oh, oh. It just has a bandage, yeah. It just has a bandage. Gotcha. No worries.

SPEAKER_07 55:31

Alright, so five damage. Your rainbow sword comes around, you see uh little like glitters of light and rainbow coming out of it, and it's that's just him. Five damage.

SPEAKER_04 55:41

Nice. And now I can still attack on my skimitar here, right?

SPEAKER_07 55:45

Yeah, as a one-ins action, I believe. Awesome.

SPEAKER_04 55:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 55:49

Well, I don't know, because if he has the uh nick property on one of the weapons, then he should be able to do both at the same time.

SPEAKER_07 55:55

Oh yeah?

SPEAKER_02 55:56

Yeah, let me let me look at what weapon she got.

SPEAKER_07 56:02

It's a longsword, so I feel like it might have Nick.

SPEAKER_04 56:05

Skimitar has Nick, but I didn't hit with the skimitar first.

SPEAKER_07 56:13

No, the longsword doesn't have Nick, I believe.

SPEAKER_04 56:16

Dang, okay. I should have done this.

SPEAKER_07 56:19

It's not on your weapon, but I don't believe a long sword has nick, so.

SPEAKER_04 56:22

Oh good. Okay. I'll just use my bonus action to hit with the skimitar too then.

SPEAKER_07 56:27

Okay. So I just uh advantage. Yeah, it's advantage still.

unknown 56:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 56:35

Dang, that's good. 24, not natural. Okay. The other one was 10, so. 24 hits, perfect. Alright, so 1d6 plus 3. 6 damage.

SPEAKER_07 56:49

6 damage, yeah. Um, he's looking pretty built now.

SPEAKER_04 56:52

Nice. Alright, and then that'll be it for me. That's it.

SPEAKER_07 56:58

Okay. Uh this guy is gonna use his action actually. I I feel like it was a better action than uh a bonus action, but he's gonna try to grab your take this moment to grab your cloak, Sky. Um I'm gonna need you to he's gonna hold on to it. I'm gonna need you to do a contesting strength check against him.

SPEAKER_05 57:26

Oh. Nah, come on now. 13, baby. LeBron, 13.

unknown 57:34

Let's go.

SPEAKER_07 57:35

That's for your modifiers? Nah, nah, nah, just flat. No modifiers. And what's your modifiers? Uh he actually wrote a 14 with his modifiers, so.

SPEAKER_05 57:45

Strength?

SPEAKER_07 57:47

Your strength is pretty high.

SPEAKER_02 57:48

Yeah, you got a plus two.

SPEAKER_05 57:50

Oh yeah. I got a plus two. Yeah, let's go. 15-2.

SPEAKER_07 57:53

Okay, so nice. Yeah, he just he grabs onto it and you just like barely hold on. Uh, you're kind of grabbing back at him too, so that's gonna be his action. Um his bonus action, he's actually gonna second wind himself.

SPEAKER_04 58:08

Oh dang. He's trying to stay alive.

SPEAKER_07 58:12

And he gets 10 HP back. This guy is gonna turn his direction this uh potential towards Skye. Seeing that his friend is trying to grab the cloak now, and he's gonna go ahead and try to slash Sky with his blade. Does not hit. He's also gonna use his bonus action to second wind himself. Just to stay alive a little longer. Get some HP back, and that's gonna be Frost's turn.

SPEAKER_02 58:52

Uh Frost is to go attack this guy again. Uh uh 17.

SPEAKER_07 59:04

17. Uh, that's his AC.

SPEAKER_02 59:06

Okay, uh supposed to six damage.

SPEAKER_07 59:11

Six damage.

SPEAKER_02 59:12

Once again prone.

SPEAKER_07 59:13

Nice. Yeah, he takes his knee. He's already prone still. I just use his movements to get up, I guess. Yeah. Let's go. Sky's your go. You can finally move. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 59:28

Alright. I was just go.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

Are you gonna risk the attack of opportunity?

SPEAKER_05 59:35

Yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'ma just pull out my dual wheel too and attack him.

SPEAKER_07 59:45

Alright. Um which daggers do you which weapons do you have right now on you?

SPEAKER_05 59:49

Uh I have the Phantom Dagger and the Edge of Dawn.

SPEAKER_07 59:53

Okay. You're taking both of them out? Alright. And you are not attuned with the Edge of Dawn yet, I believe. Yeah. Okay. So that's you take out both your daggers. Uh one in one hand it's the dagger that Mammu gave you, and in the other it's the dagger that you got for Vringor. Go ahead and do your thing.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:18

Alright, I roll 18. With which one first? Oh, uh, I will swing the edge of Dawn first.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:26

Wait, what's the swing?

SPEAKER_05 1:00:27

Edge of Dawn, you're attacking the the guy to the right. Okay. Okay. 18 hits. Nice. 24. Plus three. Six. Six damage.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:45

Six. As you take out the edge of Dawn, and you see catch a glimpse of this guy's face, even though it's he has his hood on, you catch a glimpse like a glimpse of his face. And it almost seems as if he's starting to not be afraid, but like it looks like he he messed up. As you raise your edge of dawn, and you slash him down. At this point, you also hear like whispers in in your ear. Um you hear Vangor's voice. Can't really make out what he's saying. And you are automatically attuned to this blade now.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:38

Wow. Okay. That's nice. So I got your bonus action. Alright, and then I would just swing the phantom dagger at him. And that is an 18 again to hit. Nice.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:02

Six damage again. Yeah, you come out, come back with six damage. Uh he takes a knee. He looks pretty hurt now. Even with the the second win from earlier.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:15

Alright, I'll end my turn.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:18

You do notice that from the damage you did, it seems as if he shouldn't be this hurt, but he seems way more hurt than he should be. Wagnu is your go. Oh, it's just who's your go. Wagnu on deck.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:34

Thank man. Alright. At this point I'm like they're getting weak, so I'm just gonna put my bow away and draw my uh my rapier and my shield. I'm just gonna charge at this guy. And uh I'm gonna attack him, I'm gonna try and knock him out instead of killing him.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:55

Okay, nice, cool.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:56

Yeah, the pinch will pretty bad. A sweet, sweet advantage. Uh oh, yeah, yeah, that's a 27. He's not having a good day.

Alright, but then he uh that's eight damage. Uh no, not eight, uh thirteen.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:19

Yep. Yeah, you're just gonna hit him with the blunt side, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:27

And you take Okay, and he just falls down to the ground as you bash his head with a shield. This guy is.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:36

Dang. 11 damage, yeah. He he goes down. He's not dead, but he's out. You guys are out now out of combat. Uh the only thing though is you as you go towards the other guy to knock him out. Um, you swore you didn't kill the first guy. But as you turn around, he's dead.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:34

I wanted him dead, he'd be dead. Murder.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:39

You just can't help yourself, okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:42

Would you look at us now? Criminals by association as well. Okay, but this guy's alive, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:54

Yeah, so the the guy next is gonna write is dead, and the mage is dead, but the guy next to Ross is still alive.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:00

Level two, just any?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:03

And you it's actually a level one spell slot, sorry. And if you have yeah, I don't think you use any spell slots level one, but you restore one back anyway. And you hear whispers in Bingor's voice. What do you guys do now with the bodies?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:20

Well, I think you had a plan, Shizui.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:25

I mean they seem to be after that cloak. We should finally interrogate them. Plus, why are they here? They weren't here the first time around. Why are they suddenly here?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:38

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:41

Well maybe help patch up Black Sky and I'll go check out if that page had anything on him.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:49

I just walk away to go loot. Uh go loot the uh page.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:56

How you doing, Black Sky?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:57

You need a heal? I mean not too bad. I can manage. If anything, we should check if they have a a ring, a black dawn ring on them. That's what Vangor had on him.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:11

Oh. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:16

Should you go ahead and give me a investigation check as you try to loot the investigation?

SPEAKER_02 1:07:22

Okay, plus zero.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:23

The mage.

Easy. 14. Nice. Uh you look around, start patting him down. Um got a little bit of gold on him, about like 10 pieces of gold. Not too much. Uh you see his orb, his uh casting spell casting focus that he has, if you want to take that.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:48

Yeah, it might be worth something. I'll take it.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:51

And he does have something in his pocket, and as you pull it out, it's uh it's a diamond.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:02

Cool. Is it just a normal diamond?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:08

Yeah, just a normal diamond. Okay. That's worth a lot of money. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:13

If we can find someone to sell it to here.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:19

Uh Sky and Wagnu, you start looking around, you're looking for the rings, you said, right? Yeah, on on each of them you can see the that they're wearing a ring that has a black dawn symbol.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:31

Cool. Can I take it?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:34

Yeah, you can just take it off their fingers. Same. Cool.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:36

I will do the same. And then I will continue to loot their my my guy's body as well.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:46

Like that was. Okay, the one that's worth 5,000? That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:50

The one that's dead, right? Both of them are dead?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:56

I thought I thought it was just uh just the one the next that's next to you. The one that uh the dagger had hit.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:01

Okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll loot him. I'll loot the dead one next to me.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:05

Yeah, go and give me an investigation check. Ooh, 19. 19. Uh, you see a sword? It's just a regular long sword, if you want that. Um he has his black cloak if you want it. Doesn't seem to be anything special. Uh this guy seems as if he doesn't really he travels light. He doesn't have too much crazy things on him, but you do manage to get like about like five pieces of gold.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:28

Okay. I'll just take the um black coat and the five pieces of code.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:34

Yeah, and as you as you're taking his stuff, you notice that his body starts to have like black veins on him, and it's kind of coming. It's it's the initial point is coming from where you had to stash him with the edge of dawn from before. Okay. You see his eyes are just like uh it's like white and cloudy. No, there's no pupil.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:58

Okay. He's definitely dead. Um, before we go to Wagnew, I will just take out the edge of Dawn and poke him with it where I slashed him.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:23

You take out the edge of Dawn and you you poke this creature. This creature is dead. There doesn't seem to be any reaction to the poke itself, but you hear Vingorce laugh in in your in your mind, in your ear. And in your head you just hear, you're stuck with me now.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:56

I notice black sky poking on me. Black sky, there's there's a limit. Alright, this guy's dead. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:08

Uh just testing things? I don't know. Yeah, what what about your guy?

SPEAKER_04 1:11:19

Shoot. I mean, this guy's still knocked out, cold. But they definitely ha he had definitely had a black dawn ring on him.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:28

Yeah, my guy did as well.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:33

I walk back and I'm like, what are you guys talking about?

SPEAKER_04 1:11:37

Oh nothing. Just inspecting these guys.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:41

Alright, well uh you guys are done. Uh we should probably either hide their bodies or uh burn their bodies. Just in case any other Black Dawn goons come uh come across them. Don't wanna leave any evidence.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:58

I mean, if the Black Dawn people are here, I'm pretty sure there's more up behind. But I agree. We should cleanse this place. It's not for them. It's for the villagers of Duong.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:16

There's a pond right over here. Wanna just throw the bodies in the pond? You know bodies float, right? We'll cover it after. I'm not digging graves for these guys.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:31

We can just um yeah, we can just bring the body. Just kind of drag them out.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:36

Wait, don't you have like old earth? Wasn't that how you created the that uh stone statue of uh so Murphy? Yeah, but can't you just make a hole in the ground and then you can do that? Wait, you didn't even need to dig to You didn't even need to dig up a cheese cray.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:04

It takes a lot of work. So Um Yeah, let's just I'll I'll just drag both of these guys. They're not that they're not that heavy. And we should burn them outside.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:15

You're burning the one that's not dead, right? Yeah, two, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Burning the one that's You're burning both of them.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:20

I'm just burning the dead one? But like I'm I'm burning the mage and the dead guy. But like we're keeping the other guy alive. Because like the mage is like outside the grave, so we'll just like take him over there and burn them.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:34

Okay, you burn you burn them both. Uh easily enough. Doesn't take too long. They're the smell reeks though, as it's burning.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:45

I think you didn't have to burn them, you could have just buried them like I said.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:51

Let's put them water right there. Yeah, but like I said, this place isn't for them. They don't deserve to be here.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:01

Alright. Uh let's try to find somewhere safe so we can teradigate this guy. Uh you still have your uh detect thoughts, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:14:11

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:13

Alright, then while uh we and Walk through our gorilla camp, you can uh see what he's really thinking.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:24

Where do you guys take him? Is there a a specific spot you're trying to find or are you doing everything here?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:36

A little away from the village, since that's where they uh they came from. Unless you guys want to try and find a hut to interrogate them in.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:46

I am down for either.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:51

Yeah, Wagner cause uh you kind of go on ahead and you do see um a nicer looking building. You're not sure what's inside of it, but it does seem a little nicer. It's like a white building with a green roof.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:06

Wait, guys. Let's just take him in there for a minute. I'll point it out to Black Sky and Sweet.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:16

Yeah, that place looks like it would do.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:37

These coffins look a lot nicer than the one that um Rinji was in. It's almost as if this this building itself was meant for like more important people of Dawong village.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:10

Okay. Well, how do you guys want to do this?

SPEAKER_02 1:16:22

I shut the door. Okay. Yeah, let's let's let's go. Alright, uh let's see. Here, uh Black Sky, I want you be behind him so he doesn't see you, because he saw you use magic. If he doesn't see you, he might not think about you being able to detect his thoughts.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:00

Okay, sounds good.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:03

And then I look over to Walkdo. Alright, so would you like to be the good guard or the bad guard?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:11

My favorite question. Oh. Let me be the good one at first, and then I'll I'll I'll hit him hard with some some scare tactics.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:22

Alright. And then with that, I take like my water pouch and I just throw it at throw it at the unconscious dude.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:31

Alright, and then you do that, he just wakes up right away. What's going on?

SPEAKER_02 1:17:38

Where am I? I'm going to make it very simple for you. You're either going to tell us everything you know, or I'ma sick my dog on you.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:51

Go to hell, and he spits at you. You better release me now, or the black dawn will come for you.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:04

Well, you and your friends came and uh we took care of you pretty easily, if I might say. Was hardly a challenge. So uh You got lucky. That's that's what they always say, but uh you see me and my friends are kinda short on time, so you can either tell us what what you know, or uh you can join your friends in the afterlife. I'm sure we still have the fires going. Uh you take a deep sniff, you could probably still spell the the burnt flesh in the air.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:52

Give me a intimidation.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:54

Oh man. Alright. Alright, this is what inspiration is for. It's what inspiration Is it a nat one? It changed from a nat one to four.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:21

Oh shit. You're trying to be as menacing as you can be, true sweet. Uh, but as you kind of say like the last few words, your voice cracks a little bit. It gets a little high-pitched. And he just looks at you. Almost as if he can't believe he really got beat up by you guys. You fool. When I get out of here, I'm coming for you first.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:58

You you did not hear my voice crack. It was something in my throat. Alright, Frost, get up.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:08

Frost bites no one.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:10

Get off get this filthy face awesome off of me now.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:22

I'm not telling you guys anything.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:26

Alright, Frost, get off of him, Frost. Get off of him for a moment. And then I'll walk up to him. Hey man, sorry about my my friend here. He uh kind of talks with his swords and his dog a little bit more than he does with his words. But he's right, you know. It's very simple. We just want to know what you guys are doing here. And you can talk to me, you can trust me. I'm a bard. Do you know what bards are?

SPEAKER_07 1:20:56

Roll me a persuasion check.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:02

That is. Wow. 18. My persuasion is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:13

18. Um, that's very good. Fantastic. Um, as you're kind of like moving your hands around, you know, trying to calm in down, and you say that you know what a bard is, he notices something on your hand. And he goes, Oi. Are you a part of the black dawn too? That ring. How did you get it? Are you guys Are you guys newbies?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:45

Oh, I'll I'll show you exactly how I got it, okay? And then I'm gonna slice his hand off. Or cut his hand. Oh my god!

SPEAKER_01 1:21:58

SPEAKER_04 1:22:12

SPEAKER_03 1:22:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:24

He was completely caught off guard. He goes, what the hell?

SPEAKER_04 1:22:29

I thought we were brothers. Aren't you a part of the Black Dawn? I may be, but before anything, I'm a bard. And the reason why I was asking you is because if you didn't know, bards can do something that not a lot of other people can. Like this. And I'll cast healing word on him.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:49

Oh no, the torture.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:53

I'll cast healing word on him.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:55

Uh I won't have you roll for HP, but I'll just say your healing word recovers his the slash you gave him, and it kind of just heals up.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:03

Here's the cool thing about healing, you know, all the damages revert. So but the pain, the pain lingers. So what do you want? We just want to know why you what you guys are doing here.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:24

I can't tell you that.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:26

I can heal all day, man. And my buddy over here, he's really good at cutting things up.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:34

Alright, give me intimidation advantage.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:37

Intimidation. Ooh, 24. Let's go.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:49

We were you see uh he's he's pretty scared now of Shusui and you. We were just looking for things. We've heard uh there was a a green cloak around here. Magical.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:13

What else? Lots of gold. Here actually. Look! Look around you. But why did you guys need the green cloak?

SPEAKER_07 1:24:33

He says that he just kind of catches himself and he just shuts up. I can't I can't say anymore, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:41

My eyes flick towards Laxky and I give him a slight nod.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:47

Cast detect thoughts.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:52

As you cast detect thoughts, you hear um in his You're just you're not probing, right? You're just kind of seeing on surface level, right? Okay, and you hear him just say like shit, I'm gonna I'm gonna die. Fuck. If not to these three. The master's gonna kill me.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:24

And then I nod back to Shisui and Wagnu to pressure him and break him. Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:35

I look forward to Shisui first. Yeah, I've never um I've never tried to heal a severed tongue before. You think it'll work?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:45

I mean and you healed his hand, he doesn't need to talk. He can he can write it. We have we have pep pen and paper.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:54

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:55

He can write it.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:57

That's a good point. Let me look I start digging through my pouch pretending to look for paper. Can you get his tongue while I'm it while I'm finding some paper?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:08

So much for like lawful good.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:13

Or you could just tell us who your master is.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:20

At this point, he finally realizes that his ring is missing and that you guys are not Black Dawn members. Shit. Okay, if I if I tell you, will you guys let me live?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:37

That depends on how valuable your information is.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:51

The master said this place was abandoned. That there would be nobody here. We were just looking for gold. Lots of it. And supposedly a magical cloak. Wasn't it three of you? He starts looking around and he starts to slowly turn around his head.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:14

I just grab his head and I go, focus! Okay, do you want that though or not?

SPEAKER_07 1:27:23

Look, we we're just doing what the master says. We're just lowly members, we don't know anything.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:30

Just follow and that's all are you here?

SPEAKER_07 1:27:34

No, no. There's only three of us. Like I said, nobody was supposed to be here. It's abandoned.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:40

Why are you Where is your base? Why are you guys there? You're not the one asking questions here. Where is your base? Who's your who's your leader? Who's in charge of you?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:56

Alright, just take his tongue, y'all. I start pretending to charge up my healing.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:00

Wait, stop! Stop! Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:07

I'll tell you what I know. They they call him the tide bearer. I've never seen his face. He doesn't talk much.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:29

So where can we find me?

SPEAKER_02 1:28:31

Hey, where's your base at?

SPEAKER_07 1:28:37

Our our base? No, if if I tell you that I I'm dead.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:44

Well you tell us where it's at and we destroy it. No one knows.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:53

Give me a give me a persuasion check with that one. This could be critical over here.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:02

Can I do that? No, no, no, never mind, never mind.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:09

Oh my god, it's a five. Wait, yeah, my body gets bridged out.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:16

Used it on damage.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:19

Oh no. How did I go from one three to four? What are these dice rolls? Someone save me. Look, if you're gonna kill me, just do it. I'm useless outside of combat.

unknown 1:29:34

No.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:35

If you're gonna kill me, just do it. As soon as he says that, I slice him with Edge of Dawn. Oh my gosh. From the back. I slice him like around the arm. Are you going for an arm?

SPEAKER_07 1:29:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:48

Just like just kind of warm him, warn him a little bit. Like like a little deep. Not warm, but like I'm I'm hurting him.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:54

Okay, yeah, you cut in deep, and you see as black smoke starts to um like come out from that wound. And you hear a laughter in your head of Black Sky. And he turns around. Oh shit. Are you are you with the Black Dawn too? You gotta help me, man.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:26

Yeah. You said to kill you. My pleasure. And I like I'll intimidate him with like my like motion of like striking him down.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:43

You raise your blade. Uh at this point his arm that you slice, you can see that it's like fully like limp. He can't move it anymore. Wait, hold up. Okay, okay. Please, I don't wanna die.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:13

Okay, then answer his questions.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:19

The base it's we're we're actually it's not actually in here. We we came from the outside. Uh how we got here we're not too sure. The master brought us here.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:43

Okay, but you're not answering the question. Where is your base? We don't care how you got here.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:56

He looks towards Shusui in the city. It's called Arvane. Wait, are you guys even human? And then as you as he says that, you see as this the slash that Black Sky has had caused earlier, it starts black vein starts to come out from that and it just goes all over his body and he falls to the ground limp.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:46

Yo, Sky, what the heck?

SPEAKER_02 1:32:48

Okay, that was weird. See, I told you I didn't kill that other guy. I know what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:57

Then I'll pick him up, lean him by the casket, and I'll stab him. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:13

You stab him with the edge of Dawn, and you feel something enter the blade. Almost as if its soul has entered the blade.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:34

I look towards Schwab and I go. You know, every day recently seems to be getting more and more psychotic.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:42

Uh Sky, you feel you feel strong, Sky. You feel very strong right now.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:50

Yeah, I'm not healing that.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:55

And then I just like wave the edge of dawn around, like showing she's sweating Wagnu. I mean. I don't know, it's it's something about this, but this could be our answer.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:13

Uh yes, not nothing says answer like a magical blade that kills people.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:21

Wait, that blade, how did you get that blade?

SPEAKER_05 1:34:25

Oh, this yeah, it's um That's from Vangor. I picked it up from his body when I cut off his horn.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:38

Uh-huh. Anyways, Shusui, you're the first to see Shusui. As um Black Sky finishes that sentence. One of Sky's red horn turns silver and looks exactly like Vengor's horn.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:57

Oh. Sky Um Black Sky.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:02

Are you feeling alright? As I'm waving the the edge of Don around? Yeah, why? What's what's the matter?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:14

Oh nothing much. Just one of your horns changed colors.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:19

My horns?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:20

That's normal.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:23

Drop like the edge edge of Don. I'm like, grab my horns. Like my my horns?

SPEAKER_07 1:35:29

Which which one you go to grab your horns, you drop the edge of Dawn. Um the Edge of Dawn lands on the ground and it's just kind of like it lands straight down. Like it now it's just up as the blade is on the ground and it's just straight up. And you grab your horns. Uh they do feel a little uneven. You can't see how it looks like, but it it doesn't feel like they're both the same.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:05

Hmm. Wait. That happened after he stabbed that guy, no? Shizui.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:12

Uh yeah. I mean, I don't know too much about Heethlings, but I don't think that's normal.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:19

Right. I would like to use detect magic on the Edge of Night. Or what is it called? Edge of Night? Edge of Dawn, sorry.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:32

Edge of Dawn.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:33

Just to see if uh a trace or like a remnant of like the magic towards leading or where it came from or has any connection with that black dawn, like where he told us.

unknown 1:36:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:51

Uh you cast, you take magic, go ahead and uh mark off a spell slot. And the magic you get from the edge of dawn, it's a very dark, eerie aura. It when you cast detect magic, you see as the aura is just like um it reminds you of every time you've met Vangor. Every encounter you hear like a diabolical laugh, and you see almost like a a string or like a magical string that's attached from the Edge of Dawn to Black Skies.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:53

How did you get that blade again?

SPEAKER_02 1:37:56

Yeah, picked it up off of Van Gor.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:00

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:02

Uh Sky, do you still have Vengor's horn?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:07

Uh yeah. Pull it out. This one? I mean both of these.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:18

You pull out and you only pull out one.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:20

Where where did the other one go? Must have must have lost it on the way here when Frost carried us, but I still have one.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:34

Yeah, choose to we you see it's exactly the same one on his head.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:38

Those are those two hordes are clearly the same.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:44

What do you mean with two horns?

SPEAKER_02 1:38:47

The horn on your head and the horn in your hand. They they look pretty much the same.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:56

Oh god. You're telling me I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:02

I'll hand him my s my blade so he can look at himself through the reflection.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:09

Looking at myself. Oh my god! It's ugly! My red horn.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:20

So uh anything you want to tell us? We're both pretty sure this is not normal.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:31

I mean I just hear Ingar's voice every time I use the edge of Dawn, but it's it's pretty remnant of when Renji talks to me, so I don't think there's any harm to it, but the horn, I can suspect the horn to Wow.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:56

But Renji was a guardian, whereas Vengor was trying to kill us. I think that's a pretty big difference.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:06

Exactly. Like how how can magical item do what the wind artifact can do?

SPEAKER_04 1:40:16

Hmm, I don't know, but you and that blade are more connected than you might think.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:22

Maybe don't use that blade. Or at least try to limit that. Because uh I'm not quite sure what's gonna happen if your other horn transforms like that.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:39

Yeah, I'll keep I'll keep a tap on it. But you guess remember what he said? There's gold all around us. I mean pretty dug one grave. What's the harm in opening up more caskets?

SPEAKER_04 1:40:57

Uh no, I I'll torture people, but digging into graves, that's where I draw the line. But you know, you guys do what you gotta do.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:08

Let me the ish is gold. Do we really need it? We have a village to get to.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:18

As I s as they say that, I opened the one in front of me.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:27

Uh you open it and you see uh this coffin is full of gold.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:33

Damn.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:34

That's like talking thousands and thousands of gold. Um this you feel almost as if this is like all of this is the Wong's village, like everything they have.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:48

Oh my. Are you guys seeing this? Yeah. That's insane.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:56

I'm immediately suspicious and start looking around, trying to figure out why their gold is here.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:04

It makes no sense to me.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:07

Yeah, you start opening up. You open up the other coffins, and they're it's the same thing. Uh I know on the test, why it doesn't show anything, but they are filled with gold. You look around Shusui and you see names of all the elders that had once led the Wong village. This is the Wong's fortune. Everything they own, everything that makes them prosper. And can you also give me a Arcana check too, Shisui? It's a plus here.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:49

Alright, I'm ready to roll a six. Oh god, I keep it going.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:52

Oh, Shisui. Lock in.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:56

Okay, 15. Nice. Let's go.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:02

15 is good. Um Shisui, you although you are not like super in tune with the spirits as your family, you know that when it comes to gold, there's another important reason for aside from just monetary value. The usage of gold and lots of gold. Well, I mean the black sky just killed, um, how he let a slip that they were looking for a lot of gold, and this is one of the areas they were they were tasked to come and get this gold. So you know that the Black Dawn are trying to gather up as much gold as they can.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:20

Alright.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:21

Are we really gonna grave rob these tombs, you guys?

SPEAKER_02 1:44:25

Okay, okay. This is my compromise. We're not grave robbing, we're just holding on to it until the black dog can't get to it. Because if they send these guys, they're gonna send more. Uh Sky, you still have that bag of holding, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:44:42

Uh yeah, and no, I I mean, we just can't leave it, cuz they're just gonna come back for it. We have to take it no matter what.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:52

Uh so as long as you guys promise me this gold will be used purely for the sake of saving the region, and eventually we'll funnel back to this village. We'll we'll take it.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:13

I mean we're gonna take it nonetheless. So, yeah, we'll we'll bring it back.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:21

Yeah, alright. Just use it just don't use it for like random pointless things, is all I ask. Try try and use it for the sake of helping people.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:36

That sounds good with me. Who's taking it all?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:40

Well I pull out the bag of holding.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:43

We only have the one bag of holding.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:45

Well, I mean, this is gonna be more of a teamwork.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:52

So how about we'll shovel it in?

SPEAKER_05 1:45:55

Yeah. I'll hold the bag and you, Shisui, and Wagnu can just help fun other golden. How much gold in the bag?

SPEAKER_02 1:46:05

Hold the bag of holding. I'm not actually sure.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:13

Does it say bag of holding? Does it say on there? Uh you can hold a whole bunch of things. Look at the weight. What's the weight that it can hold?

SPEAKER_05 1:46:25

No. I was gonna say, I don't think I think we forgot to add it in because I don't have it in my bag.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:36

It should be its its separate, um it's separate window. But let me just double check.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:45

Yeah, it's dude, that's crazy ball knowledge. I actually forgot about that, but she's we remembered. I looked at my notes, I was like, holy shit, I do have a bag of holding. I'm like, yo.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:01

But uh I don't remember where you got it from, but I remember you got it. I think it's preventing the game.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:05

Yeah, we didn't edit number now. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:09

Yeah, did we ever check what was in there?

SPEAKER_05 1:47:11

Yeah, it's everything before it was 200 gold. Okay, so it could hold up to 500 pounds.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:20

Well, we're not doing weighted gold, are we? Or will that apply for the bag of holding?

SPEAKER_07 1:47:30

For for the bag of holding and for this amount of gold, I'm gonna have to do the way to go. Okay, so you wanna fill up this bag with 500 pounds of gold.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:43

Because it's okay, so this bag is just 500 pounds of gold.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:49

Um, it's not all of the gold, but I guess I'll hold on to some of this gold. Let me see.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:57

Um I don't know how much I can hold in my own little bag, but yeah, just for this instance, because it's so much gold, I'm gonna have it count towards your weight.

unknown 1:48:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:10

Oh. I have 45 miles. Um, yeah, I'll try to carry.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:14

Let me see if there's like a what is the actual weight of gold?

SPEAKER_04 1:48:27

Oh no. I'm gonna give myself five gold and see how it changes my weight. Facts. Oh, it didn't. It did not.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:43

Yeah, because we have yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:47

Okay, it's fine. So what's your what's everyone's strength? What's Shusui and uh Wagnu? Uh yeah, Wagnus. Eight. My strength is at 14. Yeah. Shusu, I I'll allow you to carry up like like 30 pieces of gold.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:06

14.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:07

What's your strength, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_04 1:49:09

Cool, cool.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:11

14? Yeah, I'll give you like 50 pieces of gold. And only this part, only these ones are the one that affects your that I would say affects your your weight. Anything else we can affect your weight. Okay. Otherwise, but then you guys do have a whole bunch of gold in the bag of holding them. Yeah. You can add it to your inventory.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:28

Oh, 30? Sorry. I got 50 for me.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:31

Uh 30. 50 for Wagnew, yeah. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:38

While they're doing that? Whatever uh whatever we can't carry, we should uh probably move so they don't find it.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:47

Yeah. Yeah, I'll I'll take care of that. And then I will while we're they're doing that, um I will try to talk to Reggie. Do the wind artifact again.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:02

Okay. Um you try to focus and you hear Renji's voice. What's going on? I couldn't contact you for a while there.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:18

Dude, forget about that. What's what's with all the gold? What do you mean? It's. This is uh Do Wong's fortune. Yeah, but in a dead person's casket or coffin just sitting?

SPEAKER_07 1:50:34

These are the elders. This is our legacy here.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:44

Or and you just sh shove it away?

SPEAKER_07 1:50:48

Do you know what I mean? Well, I mean when I spread when I was alive, I was I would be here protecting it, but I'm not alive anymore, as you can see.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:57

Wait, but but why are you protecting it? What does it mean? Does it anything? After afterlife, she story mentioned something about spiritual meaning?

SPEAKER_07 1:51:13

Did you? Did you choose to?

SPEAKER_02 1:51:18

Uh for the sake of this, I will do it.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:20

Did you uh share what you scrap, I thought you did. Okay. What do you mean about that? Is someone trying to and as he says that you hear someone cuts in? You should take it all, Black Sky. It's Vanguard's voice. Make sure you keep it close by.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:46

Dude, shut up. I'm talking. You can't make me shut up. Then what why do you guys need the gold?

SPEAKER_07 1:51:57

What do you think? Why do we need gold? An abundance of gold. Why? What else can you do of gold aside from buying things with it?

SPEAKER_05 1:52:09

You're even dumber than you are when you were alive. Come on. Think. Think. Alright, Renji, help me out here.

SPEAKER_07 1:52:18

You don't hear Renji's voice.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:21

Well. Alright. You're no help. And I'll turn to Shi Sway and Wagnu? What can you do with gold besides spending it?

SPEAKER_02 1:52:35

I mean, it's. It's useful for like religious purposes and for the afterlife, but if the Black Dawn is targeting this village and other places to try and acquire gold, maybe this gold serves more purpose than we thought. Maybe it actually has an impact in the spirit world.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:03

Yeah, no one freak out, but Van Gor said we should take it all.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:08

What? So you can hear Van Gor.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:12

I don't think he's alive, but it's more of a connection to the edge of Dawn, so yeah, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:22

Oh, that's what I saw when I and never mind. I see. Okay, so I don't know what we're doing.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:34

Or do we or is he double bluffing us and not take it?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:39

Well, either way, I think we should just grab whatever we can. Um I filled out the bag of holding with as much as I can already, so I think if we have everything that we could, we should probably leave before more of the goons show up.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:55

Okay. I've got about 50 pounds of gold in me, uh on me right here.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:00

Alright, I will put 50 pounds in my regular bag as well. That should be enough. Yeah, I have I have 14 strength like Wacnu, so okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:14

Yeah, it's a good amount of the gold that's being taken right now. There's still like a little bit left, but it's not something you guys can carry. Alright, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:22

Uh yeah, before we leave, like I said, let's uh let's hide the treasures so or the the gold somewhere else.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:30

Oh yeah. About that. Let's uh let's exit here first.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:42

I was like, wait, let me open the door for you.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:50

Alright, and then as we're out, I will cast erupting earth. And I will turn this into I'm I'm not gonna damage the inside, but on the outside I'm making it look like it's just a uh like fallen building that's been like damaged, heavily damaged.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:17

Hmm.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:18

Okay, like caved in and stuff. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:55:21

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:55:22

That's easy enough for you to do. Um you also notice as you head out, there's a pole to you and the edge of dawn that's on the ground, and you can't seem to get too far from it. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:42

Uh okay. This is a problem, guys. I can't really leave without that dagger. Okay, just grab it. Okay, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:02

Just uh just mold some earth and tunnel and then collapse it back down again.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:08

Wait, have I collapsed the building already? Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:13

No, I'll say before you do anything, collapse it.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:15

Grab it and run back out.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:16

Yeah, then you proceed with your rupture earth and you collapse the building. Trying your best to not damage anything inside of it. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:28

Alright, here we go. You're wrapping earth.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:32

Boom.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:33

It starts to cave in. Um what's everyone's surface thought right now? To yourself. This is just um so I know.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:49

I'm like, man, since when can you do that? You just just crushed this building, basically.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:56

My thought is at least he's not setting it on fire.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:01

I'm just and I'm over here like man. That anger guy is annoying, even after death.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:09

You hear him in your head again, um, Black Sky. If you say please, I'll tell you what's all the gold for. Please? Come on. Okay. Say it again. You sure? It'll help you a lot. All you gotta do is beg, just a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:32

Bag is a strong word considering you're just inside my head, but I'll entertain you. Please.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:42

Okay, am I really inside your head? More or less so, yeah. I guess I'll tell you, since you since you begged. It's an offering. That's all you get. And he just laughs diabolically. It's a it's an annoying laugh. It's so annoying your head hurts a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:09

Black sky? Like a little I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:58:13

I'm like focusing on like erupting earth. And then as soon as I'm done casting the spell, I I turn to Wagneshisui. He said the gold Zeus as an offering? I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:32

Well, whatever it is, it can't be good. But my first thoughts maybe it's related to some spirit.

SPEAKER_05 1:58:41

Yeah, I mean, that's all he said. I'm sure he'll get the pot back in again. Well, shall we?

SPEAKER_02 1:58:51

Yeah. Let's get to go. Let's uh let's not delay. We need to go find the the fire artifact.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:01

How are you how are the three of you wanting to tackle this? It's it's a little bit like a like an hour or so after it's like a still afternoon-ish.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:13

I don't need to rest or anything like that.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:17

Yeah, I I'm good, but uh like will we be going through Duong Village? Assuming we're like entering a different route. Like this will lead us straight to Duong Duong Village, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:59:32

Oh, this is the village.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:35

Well oh, yeah.

unknown 1:59:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:39

This isn't the village, this is the graveyard.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:41

I'm gonna travel like in our usual order. Yeah, same.

SPEAKER_02 1:59:44

I'll take the lead at least until it gets dark.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:47

Yeah, and then just just to confirm, we're still cutting through Duong Village, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:59:51

Yeah, and it's not far. It's it would just so this is one it was just one of the paths that when you guys were in Duong Village, had you guys had taken this path, you would have found all this stuff. Damn. But you didn't and you guys chose to fight with me, and you know, so that's how it went down. That's all.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:15

Okay. Uh okay, yeah. I'm ready to proceed and uh traverse to Duong Village.

SPEAKER_01 2:00:20

Wait, but that's reason we didn't have to be poor for so long. You just said we weren't gonna spend the gold.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:28

Right, right.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:30

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:31

Spreading it to save the world is okay. Just don't spread that random stuff. I like that.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:38

I like that. Okay, yeah, you guys start making your way down and you reach the long village. It's just um it's just all Ashdown. There's nothing here unless you're trying to look for something in particular, and you guys can't try. Okay. Um aside from that, you can just kinda go past it.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:57

I'll leave it up to you guys before I say what I want to do.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:02

I don't I don't have have anything to look for here, so I'm yeah. So I'm down to just go through.

SPEAKER_04 2:01:10

No, I'm I'm good. I just I don't know, I had like uh a memory of like an old shack or a shed or something in the village. But I'm good.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:23

And when we get to around like the the gate where I burnt it down. Um and then I'll I I'll say kick give me one minute, guys. There's something I have to do real quick. I will expense all my fauna magic to cast another erupting earth and rebuild the gate that I burned down.

SPEAKER_07 2:01:58

That's very cool. Um you cast erupting earth. Is erupting earth like is that like one of its thing where you can kinda like mess around with like earth bending and stuff?

SPEAKER_05 2:02:08

Or you Um yeah, kinda it's just a it choose a point you can see on the ground within range, and the fountain of turn earth and stone erupts in the center of that point.

SPEAKER_07 2:02:19

Okay. Um for this sake, I'll have you roll a um let's do a like a sleight of hand. Nice. Yeah, just because we're trying to make it yeah, like specific.

SPEAKER_05 2:02:31

And then as I focus, I I mumble to myself. Look at the knot, look at the knot, look at the knot. Look at the knot. Slight of hand, baby. Oh 19. Let's go. With modifier.

SPEAKER_07 2:02:48

That's not pure, but it's not nice. As a dise Yeah, for a spell that's meant to cause destruction, you you're able to weave it how you want, and you use the spell instead to create a gate, a fence, a gate that you had burned down from before, but it's more sturdy now. Wagnu, what is it that you want to do?

SPEAKER_04 2:03:17

Hmm. I wanna look for like um like a body of water.

SPEAKER_07 2:03:22

Give me investigation check with disadvantage. That was terrible.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:28

Six. Twenty-one, that was terrible. Six six. 21?

SPEAKER_07 2:03:35

Uh six? Okay. Disadvantage, yeah. You're looking around and um you don't spot any like big water. You do see some little puddles here and there on the ground.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:50

Hmm. Dang. Okay. I wanted to get some more information maybe, but give me a uh also give me a either history or conach. Go with I would go with history. It's 13.

SPEAKER_07 2:04:12

13. That's good enough. DC wasn't too high. As you're f almost as if like you're frantically looking for some kind of water around here in this place that's just ash. Um your elemental artifact starts to hum to you. You actually have an ability per your artifact that may be able to help you with what you want.

SPEAKER_04 2:04:44

Mmm. Excuse me, I I missed this. I have create or destroy water on my artifact. So create up to 10 gallons of clean water within a range in an open container. Alternatively, if water fall the water falls as rain in a 30-foot cube. Okay. So I can create a body of water? Or I can like create water?

SPEAKER_07 2:05:11

Yeah, not a huge body, but probably enough to get what you want to do with it right now, yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:16

Awesome, okay. Alright, so um I'll I'll try to cast it. Um try to find like a crater or like a hole in the ground.

SPEAKER_07 2:05:28

Yeah, you see exactly where in front of you where the the statue that used to be it's no longer there, but there's like remainings of it, remnants of it. And you cast your crate water, and there's clean water there.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:46

Cool! Okay. Okay, so now that there's like water here, I can use my other ability. The other ability of my water elemental and just make sure I'm doing it right. Or tail as whisper. Once per long rest, if you play the fluid near your body water, you can ask the water a question. Alright, I'll do that.

SPEAKER_07 2:06:15

Yeah, and for this instant, I will allow I will allow that.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:17

Awesome! Okay, awesome. That's like a dope. I'll do that. I'll start playing my my um tail as whisper. And then try to ask this body water a question.

SPEAKER_07 2:06:28

Okay, what are you asking?

SPEAKER_04 2:06:31

I'll ask. I can ask you anything.

SPEAKER_07 2:06:39

Yeah, anything. The only thing is that the answer might not be 100% clear. You might have to like kind of think about it a little bit. Okay. Cause I can it's pretty much I can answer it in a vision or I can just make it like a message or whatever. Just depending on what you ask.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:56

Okay. Let's ask it. Um you lead me to the fire artifact.

SPEAKER_07 2:07:15

As you ask if it can lead you to the fire artifact. You suddenly get a vision. It's quick. It shows you like the outside of your village. And then it shows Shusui. And it shows a red string that was given to you all by Shawman Yur. And then you hear her last few words she spoke to you before you went onwards to the water temple. You hear the words if you ever get lost and you need to find your way, use this. But you can't use it once.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:25

Okay, that's awesome. And we all have our a shrine.

SPEAKER_07 2:08:31

Only Shusui has it. Shusu is the one who took it.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:34

Awesome. Okay. I'll look over to Black Sky and Shusui and call him over. Yep. Guys. It's gonna sound crazy, but I can make water. Alright. So they all saw it. I can make water, but not only that. I can talk to water, funny enough. Um Shusui, do you remember the last time we left here? Shaman Yurz. She gave us a red string.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:10

Give to you in particular.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:11

Yeah, she said that if uh we burned it, that would lead us uh that would lead the way.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:19

Yeah, do you do you still have that on you?

SPEAKER_02 2:09:22

Uh yeah, it's in my pack somewhere. Uh you wanna use that here? I mean, shouldn't we save that for when we get lost? Right now I still know the general way. I feel like we should save it for when we get closer. And we need to get to the more like exact location.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:45

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 2:09:46

Yeah. Just s Walk near while you're asleep. Um here, look let me show you the map. And I pull out the map of um the whole campaign. While you're asleep, uh give us a map. And if we're here, I point to Duong Village. We have to cross this big body of water to get to where we want to be. That's where the fire artifact is. Maybe when we get close to the river again. You could talk to the water and maybe it's just we can use the red string to point us in the right direction.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:32

Yeah, you just said two of my favorite things body, water, and a river. So let's go. No, okay, I think that's a way I think that's a better idea. Awesome.

SPEAKER_05 2:10:44

And then um, yeah. The only question is do we go through the split patch jungle? Or do we just cross the river? The Deja River.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:02

I mean we don't have a boat anymore, so unless you guys are confident in being able to swim across it or find a bridge.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:12

I look at Frost.

SPEAKER_07 2:11:14

He just turns his tells his head to the side. You can do the thing, Frost. He starts barking at you though.

unknown 2:11:24

Alright.

SPEAKER_04 2:11:25

I did use my one-of-Speak with Animals so I can get hear him right now.

SPEAKER_07 2:11:31

He's trying to tell you something, but you don't understand.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:34

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Frost, sure. You don't remember. Anyways. Yeah, Shisui. Um, if you still remember the way, then. I'm all ready to leave Duong Village. I made a little gif for Renji since I did burn down the city, so I made my peace.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:53

I mean, if we go back to the split path uh jungle, maybe we can uh find her again. Uh maybe she'll have more advice for us.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:08

If not, at least it'll take us to the river.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:12

Alright, I'm down to go through the jungle.

SPEAKER_05 2:12:15

Same here.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:19

Lognew, your your chest starts to hurt. Like uh it tightens up.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:30

Uh gosh, you guys feel that?

SPEAKER_07 2:12:36

She's we the air around you starts to change and you can feel it.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:43

Yeah, there's something going on. I'm just not quite sure what.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:50

It's uh I don't feel too good. Are you guys okay? I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:59

All of a sudden fog starts to cover each and every one of you. As it starts to part ways. You make it very easy to find you, brother. That's where we leave off.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:30

No way, we finally get to meet. Alright, man.
