SPEAKER_04 0:00

What's up, wonders? This is Jackie, your DM.

SPEAKER_06 0:03

Welcome back. It's Wagner, your favorite Elf Bard.

SPEAKER_05 0:09

Black Sky, the troublemaker.

SPEAKER_04 0:11

And we have uh a special, special um not a guest, but a new inductee. My very own DM actually for another one of my campaign. Taking it away.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Hello, I am Shift or Josh, either one. Uh, and I will be playing Lee.

SPEAKER_04 0:36

We are finally a party of four. That's gonna be exciting.

SPEAKER_06 0:40

Let's go. Oh, it's been so long. Finally, the fourth man.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

Finally a fourth party, member. Official uh D D party now.

SPEAKER_09 0:52

Don't don't discount frost like that. He's on the right, right, right. Okay, right, right.

SPEAKER_05 0:58

My boy's a little bit there for a cool minute.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

That's true.

SPEAKER_04 1:46

Let's begin with a recap. Last time, you finally confronted red waves. What began as a desperate stand quickly revealed the truth. This fight was never about your elemental artifacts. Red waves saw past them to what still lived within your group. The spirit trees remaining as you fell one by one. Only Black Sky remained conscious as Red Wave drove his pitch black blade into a wagnu and tore the spirit tree apart from him. With his purpose fulfilled, red waves vanished into the mist, leaving you broken, broken, and bleeding in the dirt. Oh man, I can't talk today. Black Sky dragged you back from the edge. When you awoke, there was no time to mourn. Only one path forward, Drenor. That night change took hold. Shu Swi finally attuned to the Earth Elementar Artifact. Black Sky learned grim truths from the Edge of Dawn. That Red Wave's blade, the Voidbringer, and the Jaggered Soap were born of the same dark source. Lost and hunted, Black Sky accepted the dagger's offer. His eyes were covered, and for the promise of a single soul, the edge of dawn, he got a use safely for a day and a half into the wilds. Upon reaching the Deja River, the mist returned. It parted just long enough for an arrow to strike the ground at your feet. You are no longer alone. As Shusui steps forward and asks the question, Who are you? Josh, you want to tell us what they see?

SPEAKER_01 3:29

Yeah, as you uh as you look, uh you see this tall uh wood elf with dark hair and uh thick beard. Um his hair is kind of messy, not really taken care of. He's wearing um like thin clothes, stuff that like you know, he's he's obviously on the move a lot, and um he is covered, not covered, but he's he's messy, he's got dirt on his face, and you know, um this long cloak behind him, and uh he is currently aiming his bow uh in sort of like he's on guard.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

As um as Shu Sui steps forward, uh Li, you notice the red scarf around Shusui's neck, and it's a very familiar red scarf to you.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

You there. How did you get a hold of that scarf?

SPEAKER_09 4:38

My scarf? This this whole thing? It was a gift from a from a family member of mine.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

A family member, you say? Well, um anyways, uh who who are you?

SPEAKER_09 4:54

We are uh we're travelers trying to get through here and across the river. These are uh dangerous times.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

And uh as you kind of say, travelers, Lee uh he lowers his bow and he's like, Well well I'm not I'm not looking for a fight. I'm just I'm traveling as well.

SPEAKER_09 5:16

Are you traveling alone? Well, if you're headed the same way.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

Uh yes, I I am alone as of now.

SPEAKER_09 5:23

Well, if you're uh traveling the same way as us, uh might as well stick around. No. Not exactly safe in these woods anymore.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Where are you headed?

SPEAKER_09 5:35

Uh well, I can at least tell you that we're just trying to cross the river. As for after that. Uh we'll we'll save that for if uh if you need to know.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

Well, uh I guess as long as we're heading the same way, it's probably best I stick with you if that's alright.

SPEAKER_09 5:59

Yeah, I mean. An extra pair of hands, extra pair of eyes. Never hurts.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

And uh at this point I think Lee would put uh put the arrow back in his quiver and kind of step forward a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 6:14

As you step warrally, can you give me a Arcana check? It's a plus zero. Let's go. It's a plus zero. That's not a good one. 14. 14. You step forward as after you put your your arrows away and you kind of lower your bow. And for 14 Arcana check, you instantly recognize this blade that is being held by um the tiefling behind Shusui. Um it's uh almost pitch black dagger. And you can see that the tiefling is being blindfolded. Blindfolded. Sheesh.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

Okay. As I kind of uh approach, I I look at the three and I'm just I my name is Lee. Lee Felverin.

SPEAKER_09 7:14

I'm Shu Sui. Uh that there's Frost. And these two are my companions, uh Black Sky and Wangnu.

SPEAKER_06 7:23

Pleased to meet you.

SPEAKER_05 7:27

I'm so like blindfolded. What who who? You said Lee?

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Yes, uh Lee. Uh may I ask why you're blindfolded?

SPEAKER_05 7:39

Uh uh long story. Uh yeah, long story. Um Yeah, you you could ask your sweet.

SPEAKER_09 7:50

Yeah, uh, long story short, uh we may have made a deal with a malicious spirit to guide us uh across the river. And uh the spirit wants a soul, so the spirit said the first soul he saw, so as long as he's blindfolded, technically he hasn't seen any souls. So we'll catch a our plan is to catch an animal later and uh offer its soul to to the spirit.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

Smart. Um, well shall we get going?

SPEAKER_09 8:28

Yeah, no uh no need to uh stand around here wasting daylight.

SPEAKER_04 8:34

As you say that, Sky, you hear in your head the voice of the edge of Dawn. You already should take off that blindfold.

SPEAKER_05 8:47

Uh no, I'm I'm I think I'm good, Vanguard.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

Alrighty then. Well, figure out your own way then. And you say you suddenly don't feel the pull from the dagger anymore.

SPEAKER_05 9:01

That's it? Wow. What a what a deal. I guess you could stay starving.

SPEAKER_06 9:09

Hey, Black Sky, are you okay?

SPEAKER_05 9:13

Uh yeah, yeah, I'm I'm good. Just uh just Vanguard being Vanguard.

SPEAKER_09 9:22

Well, I mean if he broke the deal, then uh should be fine for you to take off your blindfolds now. We'll find another way across.

SPEAKER_05 9:34

Take off my blindfold. Wow. So that's Lee, huh? Another elf? Interesting. You wouldn't know him by any chance, right?

SPEAKER_06 9:48

Wagnew? No, no. Never seen him in my life, but it's quite the shot. He had a clear shot on us and chose not to take it. I trust him. It's good to see another Alpha on here.

SPEAKER_05 10:06

Alright, well. Yeah, you're right. If Angor did lead us this far.

SPEAKER_04 10:13

And I'm Yeah, and I'll take that so whenever I whenever you can, honestly. Maybe at night would be better.

SPEAKER_05 10:21

Oh, so you could just pop in whenever you want to, huh? Anyway. Alright, well, lead us there, and maybe you'll get to eat. If not, you could stay starving forever.

SPEAKER_04 10:37

This is where you need to be. I told you. For one soul, I will lead you where to to wherever you need to be, and this is the place.

SPEAKER_05 10:46

And then um I'll stop talking to myself.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

The river is right there.

SPEAKER_05 10:51

Anyways, uh, yeah, let's keep proceeding. Um This is where Vanguard stops, I guess.

SPEAKER_09 11:00

Yeah, uh. I mean, the river is right there. It shouldn't take uh too long to find a shallow area or a way across.

SPEAKER_06 11:14

Do you remember where exactly Van Gor said he was taking us?

SPEAKER_05 11:22

Um We didn't really tell him where we were going. I just know he took us around the jungle. I mean it's been a few days, so I'm ready.

SPEAKER_09 11:45

Yeah, I mean we'll just have to figure it out on our own.

SPEAKER_04 11:53

Okay You five now proceed forward. Um Is there anything you are looking for or is there anything that you perhaps wanna do or try doing?

SPEAKER_05 12:16

Um Okay, so my bad.

SPEAKER_09 12:20

Uh I'm just gonna keep my eye on like the the river bank and just try and find somewhere shallow where it might be easier to cross.

SPEAKER_08 12:30

Hmm.

SPEAKER_09 12:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:34

Okay, so give me uh investigation checks, we'll modifiers.

SPEAKER_09 12:42

Uh 14.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

14. Um do you like kind of go near the water at all?

SPEAKER_09 12:54

Uh just close enough to where like I can see the other side and I can see like the the river bank. But like I'm not by like the water's edge or anything.

SPEAKER_04 13:07

Yeah, get close enough to see, and you do notice that for some reason the current is um a lot faster than it should be. And because of the current, you can't really see like a you can't get a good get a good gauge of how deep it would be.

SPEAKER_09 13:31

Well, doesn't look like it'll be easy to cross. Uh Wagnu, any any chance you could uh use the artifact to get us across?

SPEAKER_08 13:44

Hmm. What did you discover?

SPEAKER_09 13:46

This is the huge body of water. Uh the waters are uh a lot faster than normal. They're kinda I would not advise trying to cross it normally.

SPEAKER_06 14:00

Dang. I couldn't have used the artifact earlier to clear up the fog. I won't I'll be honest, sometimes it doesn't let me use it again for a while, but let me see. Okay. I'm I'm reading my artifact at the moment, and it says I have once per long words I can use destroy water, mirror image, control water. Um, but do you know what control water does or what is okay?

SPEAKER_04 14:36

So actually I I changed it up so you actually don't have control water yet. Oh you're not supposed to see that yet.

SPEAKER_06 14:43

Okay, okay, okay. Sorry. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04 14:46

I changed it up and then I didn't I didn't realize because DD doesn't auto-update, so this is the first time it actually auto-updates, and I did not know about it.

SPEAKER_06 14:54

Oh, okay. No worries.

SPEAKER_04 14:56

Usually it doesn't auto-update. So the only things you have for your artifact right now are the the mirror image, the um the create industry water, and the the question where you can ask the water, the body of water a question. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 15:10

Okay. And sweet, we are looking to get across this river.

SPEAKER_09 15:19

I mean, yeah. Our our destination is on the other side.

SPEAKER_06 15:24

Awesome. Just give me one second. I'll make my way over to the river and dang, that was a fail. Wait, was it bad?

SPEAKER_04 15:39

No, no, no, no. I'm talking about myself.

SPEAKER_06 15:41

I'm like, damn, I feel like I'm fucking you're chilling.

SPEAKER_04 15:46

This is the first the first time DD DD Beyond updates everything.

SPEAKER_06 15:49

I'm like, that was the first. I'm gonna go in.

SPEAKER_04 15:54

So what are you doing? Walking?

SPEAKER_06 15:56

I'm just gonna try to use my water elemental artifact. And um talk to these talk to this river, trying to find where the easiest way across is.

SPEAKER_04 16:06

Okay, you activate your artifact and you ask the one question, which is the how do it the easiest way to get across. You're trying to find the easiest way across. And when you do so, you kind of wait for like in silence for like a few minutes, two, three, four minutes. And you start hearing whispers to your left from where you are.

SPEAKER_06 16:43

I will like slowly follow where I hear the whispers coming from. So I'll just move towards my left over here. Try to see if it like the whispers get any louder or anything.

SPEAKER_04 16:55

And as you get to as you kind of leave your party behind and you get closer to um to your left side, yeah, the whispers do get a lot louder.

SPEAKER_06 17:11

Can I make out anything that the voices are saying or anything?

SPEAKER_04 17:17

Give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_06 17:24

Dang, it's eleven.

SPEAKER_04 17:31

You're trying to make out like what the whispers are saying, and all you hear are like it sounds as if someone is like talking underwater. You can't really make out exactly what it's trying to say. But you know that this is what the like your artifact kinda led you to.

SPEAKER_06 17:51

Okay. I'll turn around and meet Aizui Shisui. Alright, I I couldn't get much, but from what my artifact was guiding me towards, this is this is probably the easiest way across. I just don't really see a way. What do you see?

SPEAKER_09 18:14

Is this like an accurate representation of how far uh or like how wide the river is?

SPEAKER_04 18:21

Yeah, it's pretty accurate. Aside from that the water is like the current is fast. So Sky and Wagnu would know this. It's as fast as if when you were um when you guys left the water tempo and you were fighting against Teli. Mmm. When we got swept away. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:44

Okay. Dangerously fast.

SPEAKER_09 18:48

Okay, well, uh what is that? Around like 30 feet across.

SPEAKER_06 18:56

You're not suggesting we jump. Is this like an accurate representation? Oh no. Oh, that's it. This is pretty accurate. Pretty accurate. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 19:04

60 feet across.

SPEAKER_05 19:06

Ah, that's far. I mean, I can make the jump.

SPEAKER_06 19:08

I don't know if frost can, you know, we should probably find a better way across.

SPEAKER_05 19:16

Can we why don't we just build a raft? Build a raft.

SPEAKER_09 19:21

Well, I mean. I was thinking if we can get someone over there, I can shoot an arrow with some rope over it. We can kind of use that to cross, but I don't know if you guys have a spell that can get you guys across.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

When he says that. Uh I can get across and uh one other person with me. What? How? Um as I as they say that I'm gonna lift up my hood on my cloak, and I'll um I'll put my hand on Black Sky's shoulder and I'll cast Dimension Door.

SPEAKER_04 20:13

Can you read to to us what that does? This is the first time Dimension Door is being used.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

I teleport to a location within range. Um I arrive at the exact spot desired, and I can also teleport one willing creature. And the range is up to 500 feet. Holy shit. Okay. But I can take one willing creature with me and I can teleport.

SPEAKER_00 20:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Nice. Okay. Alright, as I go ahead. As I put the hood on, I'll uh cast it and kinda uh plant a teleport on across the other side.

SPEAKER_04 21:02

Okay, you see as um Shu Swing Wagner, you see as Lee just puts a hand on Sky and uh you want to explain to us, describe how your dimension door looks like? Anything cool about it that makes it stand out?

SPEAKER_01 21:19

Yeah. The uh as I put the hood on, the uh like underside of the cloak almost looks like um otherworldly, and it kind of like surrounds both of us, and then uh we kind of disappear into like this mist, like thick purple mist, and then it kind of fades me.

SPEAKER_04 21:44

And you see as they were there one moment and the next they're on the other side.

SPEAKER_06 21:49

They're cross.

SPEAKER_09 21:52

Alright, Wagner, how do you feel about uh crossing on a rope?

SPEAKER_06 21:59

I'm fine. I mean as long as you go first, let's see, make sure it's alright.

SPEAKER_09 22:04

Alright, but if I go first, you have to carry frost.

SPEAKER_06 22:07

I have to carry frost.

SPEAKER_09 22:10

I mean, you can't have me go first and carry frost. That's true. What is that?

SPEAKER_06 22:14

That's true. Alright, we'll be alright.

SPEAKER_09 22:19

Alright. I will uh tie an arrow or tie a rope to an arrow and I will attempt to shoot it across.

SPEAKER_04 22:27

Okay, so there's across the the river, you see a tree next to where uh Lee's at. Um you also see like the billboard right there. Uh those are about the only two targets you can probably try to shoot.

SPEAKER_09 22:44

Yeah, I'll just aim for the tree.

SPEAKER_04 22:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 22:50

Do you want to attack?

SPEAKER_04 22:51

Go ahead and roll to attack. Yeah. Roll to attack.

SPEAKER_09 22:54

It's fine, I got this. Got this. Oh no, okay, that's a 13. Oh that might be good though.

SPEAKER_04 23:06

A 13. Yeah. The tree is unmoving, but there is um the current from the water and the the wind that makes it a little hard to just shoot the arrow, even at your skill level. You shoot with your bow and it almost hits the tree. It lands like right next to it on the ground.

SPEAKER_09 23:28

I'll uh I'll just grab the rope and pull the arrow back and uh uh that that that was the win. And then I will try it again and I would uh make it a precision attack.

SPEAKER_08 23:39

Actually no.

SPEAKER_09 23:40

I'll do the precision attack if I miss again.

SPEAKER_04 23:44

Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_09 23:47

Uh okay, that's a 15. So that doesn't make it I use the precision attack.

SPEAKER_04 23:54

The 15 is good. You you kind of fish your arrow back, you uh load it again, and you shoot, and finally it it sticks onto the tree. Alright, uh and then I'll just uh there's a log uh right by you that you can't possibly tie the string to. Alright.

SPEAKER_09 24:19

I was gonna tie it across this tree so it's a straighter line. Shorter distance.

SPEAKER_04 24:27

Uh I'm yeah, Gail, go ahead and give me uh um slide of hand check.

SPEAKER_09 24:34

Alright, I'm good at these. Make sure this knot is good. Uh 21. Alright.

SPEAKER_04 24:43

21, yeah. It's a it's a sturdy knot.

SPEAKER_05 24:47

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Before you guys cross, I yell over to Shisui. Let me tie down just to be safe.

SPEAKER_00 24:55

Alrighty. That's a good call.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Yeah, Sky goes over, starts like wrapping the the rope around the tree. Go ahead and give me a side of hand check. I I was built for this, guys.

SPEAKER_09 25:09

We'll see if it's not fighting.

SPEAKER_05 25:14

Look at the knot. Look at the knot.

SPEAKER_04 25:17

Ooh, 23. Nice. 23. Yeah, that's he takes the arrow uh with the string attached, kinda wrap it around the the dust tree, and then he sticks the arrow back into it with enough force to make it like super sturdy.

SPEAKER_09 25:31

Alright. Okay, it's pretty sturdy. Maybe I will uh I I will take frost with me. So I'll try uh I'll pick up frost and I'll attempt to like uh tight rope walk the line over Alright.

SPEAKER_04 25:56

You pick up frost. Um the act of tight roping or tightrope walking isn't that hard to use, but it's because the distance is so far and because the current kicking up. So it is a little difficult. I'm gonna need you to make me a um acrobatics check.

SPEAKER_09 26:19

Alright, I'm good at these. Uh 18.

SPEAKER_04 26:28

Nice. 18? You're used to this, you're used to being light on your feet, even with frost. You carry frost in your arms, and you sh Wagnu just sees as you like ninja your way over. What are you doing, Wagnu?

SPEAKER_06 26:53

Uh I'm gonna take a safer option and I will use the little bit of rope I have in my bag just to tie like a little looser knot onto the rope that we tied across, and I'll just kinda like shimmy myself under the rope. Kind of pulling myself across instead of trying to tight walk it, rope walk this.

SPEAKER_04 27:21

Okay. Yeah, because you're taking a safer approach, um, the DC will be lowered, but you will take a little longer, so just go ahead and give me uh an acrobatics check to use.

SPEAKER_06 27:34

It is a twelve.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

A twelve. You start to go across the rope, and about halfway you your hand misses the rope, and you almost fall down, but then the rope you tied to it, you kind of catch yourself on that rope. Um, everyone sees that you're about to like touch the water, touch the river.

unknown 28:08

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_06 28:09

Okay. Can I roll to go faster? Nobs.

SPEAKER_04 28:14

You can row to give me another acrobatics check.

SPEAKER_06 28:18

Okay, it's 21 this time.

SPEAKER_04 28:21

21, yeah, that's good enough. You catch yourself and you pull yourself back up, then you start making your way over. Um from what everyone can see, it's just you're like taking your time. You're slowly taking your time just to make sure you can get over. You're not like rushing yourself or anything. You're being super careful and being super safe. But eventually you make your way across.

SPEAKER_05 28:45

Man, that was harder than I thought it would be.

SPEAKER_06 28:51

Yeah, it was a loose knot that had me struggling. Definitely why I almost faltered.

SPEAKER_09 28:58

Right, right. The rope, of course, of course.

SPEAKER_04 29:08

Alright, she's gonna go ahead. Go ahead and make sure you mark that rope off. Yeah. Um I think your rope should be okay still. As you look around you, you do see what seems to be like a sign or a of some sort. But for the first time since you've been in Yuping, you are finally on the other side. What's going through each of your mind and what are you looking to do?

SPEAKER_06 29:46

I'm just thinking about all the like all the stuff, all the like journeys, all the other villages we've been to. And now it's like we're on the other side. So it's just kinda hitting me how much we all went through together.

SPEAKER_09 30:03

Uh I'm looking at the sign trying to figure out where we are. Since we let uh Vanguard lead us around for like a day and a half. Gotta try and figure out where we are.

SPEAKER_05 30:16

I'm a hurry looking at the sign like, where the hell is the damn bridge?

SPEAKER_06 30:23

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 30:24

I think uh I'm kinda eyes locked on Shisui right now, trying to get a read on him.

SPEAKER_04 30:32

Okay. Shisui and Sky, you're looking at the board and you do see like um some kind of text on there. And unless you are able to read Celestial, you might not understand it.

SPEAKER_09 30:53

Uh I don't think anyone knows Celestial.

SPEAKER_05 30:56

Yeah, not for me. Dude, I had the spell equipped for a while. The language spell. Oh. I was like, man, I don't think I'm ever gonna need this. I had it for like three episodes. Oh my god, I took it off. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 31:12

That's that's DD true. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_09 31:16

Oh let's see. Let's see.

SPEAKER_05 31:18

Yeah, I have have nothing.

SPEAKER_09 31:20

Do we know it's celestial or do we just have no idea? We just can't read it.

SPEAKER_04 31:26

Shusui, you would know. You would know that this is um a language of like the higher beings. But you you wouldn't know what it's saying.

SPEAKER_05 31:44

Wait, hold on guys. I think I got this. A step closer. Like like super close, like it's in front of my face. Alright, Vangor. What does the sign say?

SPEAKER_04 32:02

You ask Vangor and you hear in your head just like a annoying laugh. Alright, two souls. Two souls? Okay, but I want that one first. And you kind of feel one of your eyes kind of like your right eye just kind of moves by itself towards Lee.

SPEAKER_05 32:29

Nah, no, no, no, you don't get to pick.

SPEAKER_03 32:34

No, no, you don't understand, Black Sky. You don't you don't get to break a promise with me. Not while you hold the dagger.

SPEAKER_05 32:47

I mean, I don't think you would want him as your neighbor, anyways.

SPEAKER_04 32:51

No, I don't want him as my neighbor. I just want I just want to sew.

SPEAKER_05 32:56

Alright, well, if you help, like I said, you'll get two.

SPEAKER_04 33:02

Okay. Don't take your word back. Promised you wouldn't want to do that.

SPEAKER_05 33:11

Hurry up, oh man. We don't have all day.

SPEAKER_04 33:19

And as you finish your sentence, all of a sudden you hear in your head just him speaking to himself for a little bit, mumbling. And then you hear the words Ahead lies drenner. The City of Pang. And the Spirit Forest.

SPEAKER_05 34:01

Wow. What a What a dumb sign. I turn around to Wagney and just swing the party. I mean, don't don't get wrong, it's a it's a sign, alright, but I mean we couldn't they couldn't have used a universal language. What is this?

SPEAKER_06 34:19

It's just Yeah, what does it say?

SPEAKER_05 34:20

It's just telling us ahead lies, Drunner, the city of Ping, and the Spirit Forest, Wagnew, where we were uh in limbo for a cool minute.

SPEAKER_06 34:31

What? No way, the spirit forest?

SPEAKER_05 34:36

I mean, it didn't say how far it is, but I guess Vangor did lead us to the right path, so he wasn't lying after, I guess.

SPEAKER_09 34:45

That's odd. I I don't know why they would write the the a sign in that language.

SPEAKER_05 34:55

I mean, have you been to Drenner before?

SPEAKER_04 35:02

Oh, I mean it's your passive perception, trustly.

SPEAKER_09 35:06

Uh I believe it's fifteen. Yeah, fifteen.

SPEAKER_04 35:10

Yeah, this whole time you notice you like you feel like the eyes behind you just kind of like keeping watch on you.

SPEAKER_09 35:22

I just turned my head. Kinda given Lee a look up and down before turning back. I mean, if the sign doesn't help Wes, then there's no need for us to really stay here. Maybe we can find another sign telling us to like what's where the nearest village is, but if it's just telling us where we've been, it's not really helpful.

SPEAKER_05 36:00

I mean I think we can just follow the path. See where it takes us.

SPEAKER_06 36:07

I agree.

SPEAKER_09 36:09

Yeah, and uh we'll keep an eye out, trying to try and find some uh wildlife. I heard you offered Redigore two souls, so I'd rather not delay that if possible.

SPEAKER_06 36:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 36:26

Let's uh let's get going.

SPEAKER_06 36:28

Should we blindfold him?

SPEAKER_09 36:31

I I think it's fine.

SPEAKER_04 36:35

Oh, and by the way, you really shouldn't go that way, Wagnu! And as Wagnu kind of steps forward, um, before he can get farther, like right from under the ground, something starts to emerge from it. And Shusui, your your artifact starts to kind of kind of rumble a little bit. And in front of you, you see uh some kind of spirit who wields like an hammer. But Shusu, you can feel the same energy that comes from your your artifact. And with just a look, you can understand that this is the previous guardian of the air from the mental artifact. Who's standing before Walking right now?

SPEAKER_06 37:53

What the heck? I'm gonna strike at it out of reaction.

SPEAKER_04 38:00

You strike at it, and then Lee behind you, you feel uh a powerful aura, and as you turn around, you see a figure who looks like a like a female with blonde hair and water all around her, and she's waiting like a trident of some sort. Wagnu strikes at the Earth Elemental Guardian and then turns around slightly, and your artifact starts to hum. And you get a a feeling that this is this is Teli. Just not in dragon form. And as these two come out, Sky, you don't see Renji anywhere. And there's also there's al almost like a like a feeling of emptiness. And I need you all to roll initiative.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

Oh dang. I got 11. 24.

SPEAKER_06 39:24

I'm at 19. I got 18. Oh, nice, nice.

SPEAKER_09 39:29

You guys roll high so you guys can just keep your high scores. Go cast some fells.

SPEAKER_05 39:37

Yeah, yeah. I I oh yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_09 39:40

Oh, I got real for Frost. Uh Frost got thirteen.

SPEAKER_04 39:51

Thirteen. And then uh Wagnew, what did you get? Nineteen. Shusui, what'd you get? Eleven. Eleven, Sky, what did you get? Uh 18. 18. And then I need uh Okay, never mind, it's good. So turn order will be Lee, Wagnu, Sky, Telai, uh, Frost, Shusui, and then the Earth Elemental or the former Guardian, Loak.

SPEAKER_08 40:21

Ooh.

SPEAKER_04 40:23

Look.

unknown 40:24

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 40:26

Okay. Uh I'll look to the the other th to the other three, and uh uh I'm assuming these are not friends.

SPEAKER_06 40:40

They didn't appear as friends.

SPEAKER_01 40:42

Uh no clue. Uh and then as they kind of say that I'll cast Misty Step as my bonus action.

SPEAKER_04 40:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 40:55

Um and I'm gonna try and teleport like kind of up above the Earth Guardian. And then once I'm up there, I will ca I will shoot my bow at the uh Talai.

SPEAKER_04 41:17

Go ahead and rotate. Uh that's a 29 to hit. 29 29 freaking misses. 29 misses.

SPEAKER_06 41:31

Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't fight this.

SPEAKER_01 41:34

Uh that is for 10 damage.

SPEAKER_04 41:39

10.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

And then I believe since I'm a ranger, I can attack twice.

SPEAKER_04 41:46

Yeah, you have extra attack.

SPEAKER_01 41:49

So I'll shoot a second arrow uh at the same target. 27.

SPEAKER_04 41:55

27 hits. That's some high rows. What a way to kick it off.

SPEAKER_01 42:01

Uh for 11 more damage. Okay, then that'll be my turn.

SPEAKER_04 42:06

Yeah, you see uh just like two consecutive arrows just fly out from um suddenly behind Wagnu. Because Lee was there one moment. He it seems like he's just like teleporting all around the field right now, and all of a sudden you just see two arrows strike Telai. Where it hurts. Um that's Lee's turn, Wagnu is your go.

SPEAKER_06 42:30

Alright. I have to bet I'm gonna try to take a swing at this at the lowck and his guardian.

SPEAKER_04 42:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 42:42

A ten.

SPEAKER_04 42:46

A ten. You swing with your your sword.

SPEAKER_06 42:49

The rainbow blade.

SPEAKER_04 42:52

And as you bring your sword up and you just kind of swing down on it, it hits his stone plate armor and your hand just starts ringing.

SPEAKER_06 43:06

Alright. Bonus action, I'll drop a Martic Inspiration die for Black Sky.

SPEAKER_04 43:13

Okay. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:17

And that's the end of my turn. Nice.

SPEAKER_05 43:22

Okay. Um so this is the Earth. Ali. We have a m oh no way. Okay, first I will um. I will try to call for Reggie.

SPEAKER_04 43:45

You call in your head? Yes. Um. You call for Reggie, and I will need you to make a curse in my saving throw. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 44:03

Alright. All good. Die don't lie. Die don't lie. Oh my god, it's a tide.

SPEAKER_08 44:12

Yeah, you call for it.

SPEAKER_09 44:16

You want to use it, you can.

SPEAKER_05 44:21

I'll save it.

SPEAKER_04 44:22

Yeah, you call for Renji, and all you hear is and you all of a sudden the Edgeerdon is in your hand.

SPEAKER_05 44:30

Oh man. Well, I guess it is time to feed you. Alright. I will walk straight up to Tilly. Wait, is Tillai in like swinging range? Or like. No. Are you five feet?

SPEAKER_04 44:47

Yeah, it yeah, it is. You can probably use if it's yeah, around five feet, you can probably hit it. Yeah, because it's if you get close enough, you can probably hit it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 44:57

That's 20 20 feet. Yeah. Alright. And I was just swing with the edge of Don.

SPEAKER_02 45:06

Go on roll to attack.

SPEAKER_04 45:08

Need a hit.

SPEAKER_05 45:09

16.

SPEAKER_04 45:11

16 is her AC. Nice. Okay. Uh five damage. Five damage. You swing your edge of Dawn, and you can see that it um from the arrow, compared to the arrows that Lee has shot earlier, and then your dagger, your dagger seems to be a little bit more effective.

SPEAKER_05 45:42

Okay, well. And then I will just uh Oh actually, no, I take that back.

SPEAKER_04 45:48

Reccond. I forgot Lee's bow is also a magic item. Never mind. It is. Both of them do seems to be effective.

SPEAKER_05 45:59

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_09 46:01

Um I see how it is.

SPEAKER_05 46:05

I was just uh I'll take uh my bonus action to just um equip the Phantom Dagger. Now in my turn.

SPEAKER_04 46:17

You're equipping to your on your other hand?

SPEAKER_06 46:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 46:20

Okay, so you have two daggers in two hands right now.

SPEAKER_05 46:26

Oh, it doesn't take a turn, huh? Alright. Or does it?

SPEAKER_04 46:28

No, it's it's a free it's a free thing to do.

SPEAKER_05 46:30

Okay, and then then I was just uh yeah, I use my two weapon mastery as a bonus action to uh swing with the phantom dagger.

SPEAKER_04 46:39

Okay, so I would say that you did it, you quit both our daggers first, and then you go to attack. Okay, yeah, my bad, my bad, my bad. You're good. And then go and roll to roll with your um second attack. It's uh I believe it's snow modifiers. Yeah, it's only a three. You come your phantom your phantom dagger and it it goes through her and it's just like you're going you're stashing water. It's Tel Ice turned. She is actually going to use her binding current. So one tar one creature within 15 feet must succeed on a DC-14 strength saving throw. And it's gonna target Shusui.

SPEAKER_09 47:39

Oh man, I got a manage on those.

SPEAKER_04 47:42

Nice. Let's go.

SPEAKER_09 47:46

Alright, uh, was it DC 15?

SPEAKER_04 47:51

Uh DC-14.

SPEAKER_09 47:52

14. Oh. Oh, well, I passed. I got 18 uh 21.

SPEAKER_04 48:04

Okay, yep, you succeed so you are not grappled or restrained. I think you're I believe you're you're not immune to that, are you?

SPEAKER_09 48:14

Uh no, I just have advantage on it. On the strength and uh constitution saves.

SPEAKER_04 48:26

It's gonna try to move away from Sky. Uh Sky, you can go ahead and roll me your opportunity attack. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 48:39

Oh my god, it's another three. What?

SPEAKER_04 48:43

As you miss and it'll just keep staying in the water. And it'll and it'll turn right there. Let's make her a lot farther away.

SPEAKER_09 49:07

Alright, quick question. Is Loak considered a medium-sized creature? He is. Alright. Well, uh, Frost will oh shoot. Not not me. Just Frost. Will run over there and attack. He will take his advantage with pack tactics.

unknown 49:26

Pack tactics.

SPEAKER_09 49:28

Yeah. Uh then he has a dirty 20.

SPEAKER_04 49:36

Dirty 20 hits.

SPEAKER_09 49:41

Uh he will do 8 damage. 8 piercing damage. And since the target is medium or smaller, he is now prone.

SPEAKER_04 49:52

Okay. You go for the piercing. Uh it's it's frost. Signature attack. The bite attack. Bites into heart stone. And unfortunately, Loak is immune to being prone.

SPEAKER_09 50:08

He's immune to being prone? Okay. Alright. He tried. Uh okay, Loak's no longer in melee range. I will just uh I'll leave to lie to uh Lee and Black Sky. I would run over and I would attack uh Loak. Right then.

SPEAKER_04 50:36

Okay. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_09 50:39

And I will uh uh will I get advantage for this since he's pincered?

SPEAKER_04 50:46

Yeah, you will.

SPEAKER_09 50:49

Okay. Take my advantage, I will swing. Uh 19 8 uh 30 20.

SPEAKER_02 51:01

That hits.

SPEAKER_09 51:02

Okay, and then I will use a superiority die to try and do a menacing attack. We will see if this finally works. Let's go. So I'll do the damage first. Uh 15 damage.

SPEAKER_04 51:23

15, okay. That's what you're a rapier?

SPEAKER_09 51:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 51:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 51:29

And then uh he has to make a DC 16 wisdom sign throw. Or be frightened until uh the end of my next turn.

SPEAKER_04 51:39

I I might disappoint you again, Chris. Uh he fails, but uh fortunately he is immune to being frightened. He is the Earth Elementor Guardian, he is not afraid.

SPEAKER_05 51:52

One day, probably he's about to tell him One day it'll work.

SPEAKER_04 51:57

One day it'll work for sure. One day, I promise you.

SPEAKER_09 52:03

Alright, man. Alright. It's fine, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna attack again with advantage. I really should have just learned this arming attack. Uh yeah, that's 26. Mouth hit.

SPEAKER_04 52:20

26 hits, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 52:22

I'll just do this normal damage. Uh 13.

SPEAKER_04 52:28

13. Yeah, your rapier goes, you notice that both of your rapier, it seems to you not be doing as much damage as you want it to do.

SPEAKER_09 52:37

I expected as much. And then that'll be my turn.

SPEAKER_04 52:44

Okay, it's Lowak's turn. Um Lowak's eyes glows like a like a molten yellow. And you see as it kind of charges up and it starts to kind of like curl itself into like almost like a ball. And you get like a like a flashback to when you fought the the guardian at in Kayesh under Kayesh. And it's just gonna roll in a straight line towards black sky. And everyone who's in that direction, you must make a DC 15 dexterity save or take 4d6 legend damage.

SPEAKER_05 53:28

Damn tallest, my boys.

unknown 53:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_09 53:36

Is that considered an attack?

SPEAKER_04 53:42

For your opportunity attack?

SPEAKER_09 53:44

Uh for my sentinel, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 53:46

Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 53:47

What does Sentinel do again?

SPEAKER_09 53:49

Uh immediately after a creature within five feet takes a disengage action or hits a target other than you with an attack, I can make an opportunity attack against that creature.

SPEAKER_02 54:03

I will let I will let you do it. I will I wouldn't let Frost do it, but I will let you I'll let you use it.

SPEAKER_09 54:09

Then I have Vex on it, so I will continue my advantage. Uh yep, that's 23.

SPEAKER_04 54:17

Okay, that hits. Orior saves, by the way, Wagnum and 2. Oh, me too? Yeah, you too. He hits you too. Oh, landing in front of me.

SPEAKER_09 54:29

It's only 8 damage, but his movement speed drops to zero.

SPEAKER_04 54:33

Okay. 16. 16. Okay, you both save, so you take uh 46 budgeting half.

SPEAKER_06 54:46

46 budgeting half.

SPEAKER_04 54:50

Did it row? Uh no, it hasn't run yet. There you go. There it goes. Oh, it did row. So you take the 11, so you you'll take five bludgeting damage. Gotcha. Not bad, not bad. And you almost feel like you sh there's like a it was so the force behind it was so powerful that you would have been pushed back, but you kind of both of you kinda just held your ground. You're not you're not the man or the men you were before. You are stronger now. He lands right in front of Sky, and that's Lee's turn, Wagnu on deck.

SPEAKER_01 55:29

Okay. Um I'm gonna kinda like head up this hill a little bit and try and get an angle on the uh Tly. And then I think I can probably see her from here. Yeah. Um I'm gonna cast Hunter's Mark. Uh I magically mark a creature I can see within range, uh, 90 feet. Uh until the spell ends, uh concentration, I deal an extra 1d6 force damage to the target whenever I hit it.

SPEAKER_02 56:03

Oh shit, okay.

SPEAKER_01 56:06

And then after that I'll um attempt to shoot it uh with my longbow.

SPEAKER_04 56:17

A nineteen geez. That's a plus ten modifier. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 56:27

Rangers and bows. Uh okay, so it'll be eleven piercing damage with my long bow, and then an extra three force damage for the first attack. And then um I'll try and shoot it again. That's my with a nat one on that one now.

SPEAKER_04 56:53

Oh dang. So your second one hit misses uh and your first one was on the mark though.

SPEAKER_01 57:03

And then I believe that'll be my turn.

SPEAKER_04 57:09

Wagnu, you're go, sky on deck.

SPEAKER_06 57:12

Awesome. So after saving myself from that the um from Lowaks push, I'm just gonna pull out both my swords and run towards him. Or sorry, pull out the skimitar, so skimmitar and rainbow blade. And I'll just move towards him, try to get in for hit.

SPEAKER_04 57:35

Okay, you get advantage. Because they're pincering in it now.

SPEAKER_06 57:45

It's gonna be 19.

SPEAKER_04 57:49

A 19 does hit. Nice.

SPEAKER_06 57:53

Okay, and I just want to make sure I'm doing this right too. Um I can since I have dual wielding, I can still hit with my skimitar too, right? After this hit?

SPEAKER_04 58:02

Yeah, if if you have both of them wielded, then you can, yes.

SPEAKER_06 58:06

Awesome. So 1D. It's just five damage.

SPEAKER_04 58:19

Five damage. That's good. That's good.

SPEAKER_06 58:22

And then do I re-roll for my second swing or my schematic swing?

SPEAKER_04 58:26

Yeah, so you roll with no modifiers. It'll be a straight. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_09 58:31

Uh it's only no modifiers to the damage.

SPEAKER_06 58:34

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 58:35

Oh, okay. So in that case it's look at me just trying to cheat you guys. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 58:40

No, no. So in that case it's 21.

SPEAKER_04 58:46

Alright, 21 hits. So gonna roll damage without the modifiers.

SPEAKER_08 58:50

It's just four.

unknown 58:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 58:54

A four. Hey, every every hit counts.

SPEAKER_06 58:59

Alright, and uh as a bonus action, I'll give a Bardic Inspiration die to um Can I give it to Lee, even though he's a little further away? I think so.

SPEAKER_04 59:10

How far is your Bardic Inspiration? I I think it should be this should be uh 60 feet. Oh, it's good. Yeah, he's a little well yeah, it's good. You're good. Awesome. That's 50 feet away.

SPEAKER_06 59:23

I'll drop onto him and then I'll end my turn.

SPEAKER_04 59:30

Alright, Sky on deck, Telai's next.

SPEAKER_05 59:33

Alright, I'm just gonna keep it simple and swing on Loak with both of my daggers. So first one, Edge of Dawn. Oh Edge of Dawn.

SPEAKER_04 59:48

16. 16, you barely miss.

unknown 59:54

Ooh, 24. 24 hits.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:08

Alright, nice. Uh ooh, seven damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:18

Seven damage is good. And in my turn. At this point, uh Teli would notice um Lee. And she is gonna start making her way towards Lee. I just wanna make sure I can reach you first.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:44

60 feet.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:47

50, right? That's all I remove. Oliver, yeah, 50 feet. Oliver movement. Uh she is kind of floating, or she is kind of like um not really on the ground. So she is kind of flying. And then she gets near Lee. She does have 60 feet of movement, so she did.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:12

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:13

Let's go. Glad I gave him the inspiration die.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:22

Her trident right uh rises up and swings down on Lee. Let's see if it hits. Holy shit, that's wanna go. Oh my god. That's auto hit. You automatic take. I think she's mad at me. Yeah, those those arrows are doing dirt. That hurts, you know. So I'm gonna roll 1d8 and 1d6 for the cold damage. So you'll take 10, uh 7 piercing, and then 10. I mean 3 cold damage. And then you'll take the max. So that'll be also be uh an additional 8. Uh 14. An additional 14 to the 10. So 24 altogether. Damn!

SPEAKER_01 1:02:20

Okay. Um, and then just for concentration, a double it's constitution savings throw and half the damage they took, right? Or 10, whichever's higher.

unknown 1:02:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:32

I gotta be that 12. 7 and 9. Uh 10. Okay, so my hunter's mark will end.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:41

Okay. And as her trident slams on you, she whips it around and tries to hit you again with it. Okay, this time it misses as she hits you, you kind of crouch down, uh, take that blow, and then she swings right over you. Actually, I gotta make a roll for her charge too. See if she gets her charge back for the her binding current, and she does not. Alright, that'd be her turn. Frost, and then she's gonna deck.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:13

Yeah, uh, frost will just run over and again try to attack Lowak.

Striking too fast there.

Alright. It's uh Lowak's turn, and he notices he's surrounded by all of you. Uh first I will make the roll for the recharge. Gotta roll a six. Uh does not recharge my rolling attack. And you do see as he rises his hammer up, raises his hammer up, and then he slams the hilt to the ground. Uh every creature within 10 feet of him must make a DC 15 dexterity save or take 3d8 legending damage to be and to be knocked prone. So everyone around.

A DC 15 Dix 30 save. 15. Oh. Oh, okay. I got that. Oh, okay. Yeah, we got this. You guys got this. Maybe not frost, but you guys.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:50

I got 22, I passed, and then I'll go do frost.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:54

I actually failed it. I got a 12. Frost. Wait. That's tragic. I got a 17. Wait, you can use my Department died. To save yourself.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:09

Seven damage? Okay, so everyone except for Wagnu uh take six Ludgeon damage, and then Wagnu you take 13 budging damage. Dang. Okay. And you are knocked prone, so you would have to use half your movement to get up. Okay, so Frost takes uh six bludgeoning.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:33

Gotcha. Half my movement to get up.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:39

And two in its turn, he just kind of faces Shusui and just stands his ground. Ali, you're on deck. I mean you're next while new undecked.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:48

Does this track my Sentinel? The regular attack?

SPEAKER_04 1:07:58

I I I feel like it would only work for the regular attacks, like the weapon attacks. So I'm just gonna rule that for now and then we'll we'll figure it out afterwards. Since these are like abilities and stuff. Yeah. Alright, that's fine.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:18

Okay. Um as my bonus action, Lee does not want to be here, so uh I'm gonna cast Misty Step one more time to uh teleport down here.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:30

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:31

Uh and then um with my movement uh he's just gonna start backing up. Uh let me see. How far? 45 m feet of movement.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:46

Oh damn, you can go far, brother.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:48

Yeah, you can go nine tiles.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:50

Um for now I think he will go kinda here. And I'm gonna attempt to shoot uh Talai again.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:03

Okay. Row to attack with my longbow.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:09

That is a 28.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:10

I feel like all of your attacks are gonna hit. Yeah. Yeah, that one hits.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:17

Uh for six damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:20

Six damage, that's good.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:22

And then the second attack. Another gnat one.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:27

Ah, that's the only miss.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:31

But I I do have uh the weapon mastery for longbow um slow, so I can reduce the creature. If I hit a creature with a longbow and deal damage, I can reduce its speed by 10 feet until the start of my next turn.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:47

Yeah, that's gonna be that's gonna be helpful. Alright, so instead of 60, he has she has 50 now. Alright, Wagnew, it's your turn. Sky, you're on deck.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:03

Awesome. Can I just spend the half uh can I just get up right now with half my ammo?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:09

Yeah, yeah, you can just get up now.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:11

Alright, get up and I'm angry now. So, I'm gonna just take a huge swing at low lock here. Go for my rainbow blade.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:20

Jump this guy.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:21

It's gonna go for 17. Wait.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:25

17 to hit?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:27

Oh wait. Alright.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:28

Alright.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:29

My Rainbow Blade says it has a plus one bonus to attack rolls. Does that mean it would go up to 18 you?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:34

Yeah, it should be automatic already. Wait, did you are you rolling row dice or are you rolling your dice?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:40

I'm rolling row dice, sorry.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:42

Yeah, it's like you had to add add the plus one, so it'll be 18.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:46

So 18.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:47

Yeah, 18 hits.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:48

Cool. Nice! I hit it nine damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:57

That's good.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:58

I can still swing with my skimitar as well.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:04

Yeah. Nice, I hit it now at 20. You're uh dual wooding. Let's go. Oh shit, let's go.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:10

We do damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:11

So we'll take the we'll take the six and you can roll the other 3d6.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:15

Okay. So this one is four.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:22

Okay, because so because that one's not magical, it's uh half, so it'd be two.

unknown 1:11:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:27

Cool. Yep. And then afterwards, I will just use my second win, try to heal up some of this HP I lost.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:37

I believe your second attack is a bonus action, but just read it again to make sure.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:41

Um your dull the dull one.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:51

Yeah, like the two weapon. Yeah, it is a bonus action. It's a bonus action, yeah. So you would not be able to use your second one.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:57

Okay, okay. I see, I see. Yeah. Okay, okay, I see. Cool, then I'm just gonna pass my turn on that.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:09

Oh, do you?

SPEAKER_06 1:12:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:11

Just double check everything. Just double check.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:13

It does say when you use your attack action is with weap uh with the weapon that has the light property, you can make an extra attack as a bonus action later on the next turn. With uh later in the same turn. It does say as a bonus action on this.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:28

Yeah. Okay. I think it like lets you add your weapon bonus to your attacks action.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:35

You don't add your ability modifier to the extra attacks damage unless that modifier is negative. What does that mean? I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:45

Yeah, I I think uh I think it's just bonus actions to swing again, but we don't add modifiers to the damage or anything. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:52

What um pretty much I said earlier. Okay. Yeah, you you're you have it right. You have it right.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:56

Cool, but yeah, so I can't I can't second wind here, huh?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:01

Yeah, you can't second wind.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:02

I'll just pass it back. Pass it on to Black Sky.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:07

Alright, yeah. I'm just gonna keep swinging. We have this food trap. We're jumping. Oh, 19. 19 hits. Alright, 19 hits. Let's go. Seven damage again with the edge of dawn.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:28

Seven damage. That one this guy is starting to take some hits.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:32

Alright, and then we'll follow up with the Phantom Dagger.

unknown 1:13:36

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:38

18. 18 hits. Nice, nice, nice. Oh my god, max damage again. Easy, dude.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:51

Hell yeah. Yeah, he's starting to uh look a little as you hit him with your your daggers and stuff and your swords. You can see that the sk like the blazer leaving like kind of like scars on his body now.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:04

We need you, Chris, because Taylor's about a fuck my shit up.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:09

Need you uh she raises her trident and slams at you, fog dude. Rolling with advantage. Oh uh, I don't I don't think the five will hit you, it'd be 11.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:26

Woo!

SPEAKER_06 1:14:28

Does not hit.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:29

But she does have a second attack, so she's gonna try again.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:32

Please.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:36

Oh uh the 18, it should hit plus her modifier.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:41

Oh yeah, that's good. That's good.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:44

So that'll be 1d8 and 1d6 for the code damage. You'll take 11 points total. Five piercing, six code. As she hits you with her trident, um, she almost acknowledges that you are like the current wielder of the water elemental artifact. And it's Frost's turn now. But she'll sweep on deck.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:22

Alright. Uh Frost will just continue trying to attack.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:26

Let's go, Frost.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:29

Uh, what is that? Where is that? 14 doesn't hit.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:34

14 does not hit.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:36

And uh yeah, uh we just turned. Uh I will turn and try and uh deal with Tulai. So I'll I'll give uh Lilak his opportunity attack.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:54

Let's see. Uh 18 plus his modifier. It should hit you. That's great. Oh my god. It's a 26 to hit.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:06

I assume so.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:08

It'll be 1d10. It'll be 16 bludgeoning damage to you as you try to move away from Lowak. Alright. Um also just because he's underneath his um his threshold for his HP, as he hits you, spikes and like spires starts to form on his on his hammer, and you will take an additional 1d6. So just one. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:43

Alright. 17 damages a little rough. I will uh I will attack uh Talai. Okay. Uh what's that? 17?

SPEAKER_04 1:17:02

17 to hit, yeah, works.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:05

And then I will use a superiority die, and I will menacing attack just for the extra damage. I assume it will fail anyway. Extra damage.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:15

Extra damage.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:19

Okay, uh 17.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:21

17 to hit.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:24

Uh no, 17 damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:26

17 damage, okay. Yeah, hell that's a lot of damage. Uh so what's what's the roll I gotta make?

SPEAKER_09 1:17:31

Uh wisdom, you gotta beat 16.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:36

Okay. Let's go. Um as your minacy attack hits your artifact starts to vibrate. And you hear like the like the sound of like stone grinding, and you can you see as Telai puts her hand to her ears, and you see that she is now frightened of you.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:01

Oh my god, it's finally happening.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:05

It worked.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:06

Oh man, I didn't think it was possible. So she has uh what is it, disadvantage on ability checks and attack rules while I'm within line of sight, and she can't move closer to me.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:18

Oh, okay, nice. Alright.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:21

Since I hit her, I have fex and I will take my advantage on my extra attack. Uh 27.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:30

27 hits.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:32

I will hit her with my rapier again for 11 damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:38

11 damage, yeah. Tell I's looking kinda kinda hurt now.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:42

Yeah, well, it's it's not over yet. I will act as well. Let's go. And I will uh repeat two more attacks on her. Uh yeah, that's 24. So she can help five getting hit. Uh 13 damage. And then my last one. Uh 26. And uh yeah, she's gonna have a great time. What is that? Uh nine.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:18

A nine.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:20

And that will be my turn.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:24

Alright. Yeah, if if she had blood, she'd be bleeding. Alright, I'm gonna make my my charge for Loak's rolling attack. Does not get it back. Um make a second charge for his other attack. Gotta hit a fire six. Does not get that one back, too. He turns towards Wagnu.

unknown 1:19:52

Please.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:53

Seeing that you're the most injured right now.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:58

Is he?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:59

But I am hurt. I think he is.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:03

And he's gonna swing his hammer that has like earth spires on it towards you.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:12

Is Loak within five feet of me?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:17

It's a 16, I don't think so. It's a little farther than five feet. Yeah. The 16.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:23

It does, it does, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:26

Dang. You also take the 1d6 because he's under his threshold now, so you'll take five total damage.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:33

Does that down you? No.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:36

This one might down you though as he brings his second attack. Um that'll be a 19 to hit you.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:46

No, that it.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:47

Alright, so you should.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:51

Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:54

Yeah, 9 in the yard, you are now downed.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:57

Tis but a flesh wound.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:59

But that's gonna be his turn. So Lee, it's your go and then Wagnu you're on deck. Lee, you see uh as Wagnu goes down.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:08

Okay. Um just check something real quick.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:20

Um, okay. I can't do much about it. You have like a healing arrow that you can shoot. I'm gonna skip. I wish. Uh I'm gonna shoot my uh longbow, the first one at Tulai. For uh 21 to hit.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:39

Yep, that one's good.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:43

For seven damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:45

Seven damage, Riley. How do you wanna do this?

SPEAKER_01 1:21:51

Um I see uh Wagnu go down and I as I'm kind of preparing my next arrow, I pull it back, aim towards Talai, and uh let him f let the arrow fly, just like before, like the other arrows.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:10

As your arrow pierces through her, she just dispersed into like a like a puddle. Just water, and now there's like a little puddle on the ground where she was like floating above.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:29

Okay, and then um with my second attack, I'm gonna shoot Lowak. Four uh 16 to hit.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:46

Uh 16 barely misses as you shoot your arrow and it just bounces off his drone plate armor.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:54

Okay. And then that will be my turn, I believe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:03

Alrighty, Wagnew. Make your saving throw. Get that 20.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:10

Oh my god, it's a 20! It's a dad 20!

SPEAKER_04 1:23:13

Yo, that's okay. Back up at one. You instantly jump up. You do like a like a almost like a what is it, a kicker? And you bounce back up to your to your feet. One HP.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:32

Was that all you got?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:34

Um, I forgot if we I forgot we made it. Did we make the rule where like if you roll Nat's only you get like a turn right after that? I don't remember if we did it.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:43

We never talked about it. We just said that you got up at one HP.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:47

Yeah. Okay. Um Well, okay, now so now going forward, we'll we'll do it where if you roll Nat 20 from a saving throw, you'll get up at 1 HP, and you can take your turn immediately afterwards. Just to make it more epic. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll start with this one right now. So Wagney, you get back up instantly, you get your turn immediately.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:11

Alright, so you see, most people would.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:13

That way it's just yeah, that way it's not like a wasted, oh yeah, I just got up, boom, that that was cool, but that was not cool enough, you know.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:20

I got up just to go down to go down exactly.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:24

At least get one hit in or something.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:28

Most people would Misty step out of this situation, but me. We're going back in. I'm swinging with the rainbow. I'm swinging on. Oh my gosh. It seemed that I got I got a really weakened by that last hit, so I only rolled seven. Or eight, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:47

Okay. Yeah, yeah. You your hand just like uh you're kind of like wobbly still, so you just kind of with it.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:54

But I'm not giving up! Bonus action. I'm a swing! You gotta bonus action. I'm swinging on him with the skivatar. Okay, that one is oh no, that one isn't it's 16.

unknown 1:25:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:09

A 16 you barely miss. Just that one hits him, but it's just not doesn't do anything.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:18

Doesn't do any damage. Alright, I'll end my turn. I'm just distracted. I'm just distraged.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:24

Alright, here we go. We're jumping this dude. Ooh, 18! Nice. 18 hits. Alright, 18. Uh swing with the edge of dawn. Come on, max damage. Ooh, max damage. Seven.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:42

That's good. That's good. Alright. And then I'll follow up with the Phantom Dagger. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:53

11. No good, no good.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:55

Please, you guys.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:56

Yeah, your level one misses. As your but as your Edon uh slashes against Loak, you hear in your head uh Venguer's voice, and he just goes. Make sure you sling this one. We lost one already. And it's Frost's turn.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:18

Uh yeah, you will just attempt to attack and bite him. Uh 17.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:27

17 is AC.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:30

Alright, you guessed the plus two damage. Alright, uh eight damage, and then the prone doesn't go through, so that's fine. And that's his turn. I will uh I'll see Wagnu get up and I'll just uh try and cover him and just get closer and uh start attacking. This is great. Alright. And my three pincher attacks. 25 L hits. Uh what is that? 15 damage. Second one.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:20

Fifteen damage? Woo!

SPEAKER_09 1:27:22

Yep, fifteen damage. It was max damage. Uh this one's 25. And we'll see how much damage that one this one does. Uh 10 damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:35

Alrighty. Shusui, how do you want to take down the former Earth Guardian? Spitting.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:42

I just go straight for the heart. I'm like, yep. Just stab him with the rapier.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:48

Yeah, you stab with the rapier right where the heart would be. Um you don't feel any any give or anything. But as you stab him, his He has like a Like a cloak over his mouth, and as it falls down, you see him give you like a smile as he crumbles down to earth. And then you guys are now pushing out of combat.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:10

Yeah, if he got another turn, that would have probably been it for me. If the lock got another turn.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:19

That would have been tough.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:21

I mean, you made your choice.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:25

I made my choice.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:27

As the as the two spirits vanishes from your sight, a Lee makes his way towards the group. your artifact starts to almost like shine it in your pocket.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:51

I'll inspect it. I'll take it out and inspect it.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:55

And as you take it out to inspect it, you hear the word of you hear this the voice of Tell I speaking to you in your head. Um at first it sounds just like someone speaking underwater. You can't really make out of it, you can't really make it out. And then you start to hear come together. As she says to you, you always fall down.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:30

But you always get back up too. You are indeed the tide breaker.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:44

And as that word, that title enters your mind. You think back to when the three of you had interrogated the um the Black Dawn Cotis and how he had said that they how he had talked about their their leader and how they his lead their leader sent them here to Yuping. And they didn't give you a name or anything, but they gave you the title Tide Bearer. And within you you feel like a change happening. And now your artifact has undergone a change. You feel more powerful, more calm. Even despite despite the recent losses you've in you've endured lately. Now you can control water.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:51

Dude!

SPEAKER_01 1:30:55

Holy What what were those things?

SPEAKER_06 1:31:05

I can only speak so much for that woman floating above the river. I know she was the previous guardian of the water elemental artifact.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:23

Yeah, couldn't tell you either.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:26

Okay. Well, should we get moving? Yeah.

But if there is something you are certain of um with your your past knowledge and what you know. And you would know that the two figures you just fought were were the elements of guardians of of Yuping.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:46

SPEAKER_04 1:35:32

Go ahead. Go ahead, Lee. Okay. Um, with ten. Ten. It's it's been a long time. Um with a tin, you are able to find like a nice little spot, or at least you think it's nice to kind of set up camp. Um but you've been away for a while and you're not quite sure exactly how far off you are. Maybe if you have a little rest, you can probably try to um get like a better gauge of things, but you do you all you do find like a little nice place like around over here. Not too far off. But according to where the like the direction of the of the sun and everything, this seems like a safe spot for Yuli.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:18

This this spot should do well enough.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:27

It'll work for me.

SPEAKER_09 1:36:35

I'll take the first watch, you guys can kind of rest up.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:39

Okay. You guys start to set up camp. How are you guys uh going about making camp? Are you guys just gonna go rest right away?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:49

Is there anything you don't want to do? Uh I'll I'll let sh's I'll let Wagner and um Lee go first. Since they're low on HP, so maybe Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:00

I'm done uh pick up the ship.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:03

You can't do uh you can't do some things before you before you go to sleep too. So um if there's anything you want to do, you can do it now.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:13

My um my one of my elven beats, I think, is like I only need four hours for a long rush, or like I could do a long range.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:24

Yeah, that you don't need to sleep.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:27

Are you actually gonna do a trance instead? Yeah, yeah. So finally not sleeping.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:33

I'll do a trance. This is uh this is what you call character um what is it, character arc? Development? Yeah, development, yeah, that's the word. Uh went from episode one always sleeping to no sleeping now. It's fancy now. Okay, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:54

Uh I think I'd try and kind of spark some conversation and kind of just so where are you guys from?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:05

Uh you talking to me or are you talking to Shizu? Uh both. Um, I'm not from here, actually. I'm from uh someplace far away from here.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:25

Uh I grew up on the road. Didn't really have a home. I kinda just traveled from place to place helping out. What about you? Where where do you call home?

SPEAKER_01 1:38:36

Uh originally from I was from here, but due to some unseen circumstances, uh I've been away for many years.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:50

Wow, he's just kinda like you, Shisui. He has been far away from home for a long while.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:57

Well, I mean, if anything, it's kind of the opposite. I left for a few months before I came back. He seems to have been gone a lot longer.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:10

Uh Shisui, um About the cloak. Uh I assume you got it from Kenneth.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:23

Yeah, he uh he gave it to me before he passed uh a couple months ago.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:33

Well, uh I'm currently looking for the the person who killed him. If you have any information I could have on that.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:44

Uh well we uh we encountered him just a couple days ago and uh we weren't strong enough to beat him. He uh he stole something from us and uh took off. We're uh he's up to something. Uh we're we're trying to stop one of his plans. We're not really sure what he's trying to do, it's just it just seems intent on kinda damaging the the region. Uh he tag along, I'm sure he'll show up again. Uh yeah, uh it's uh strange coincidence, but uh the guy who killed Kenneth also happened to be uh Black Sky's uh younger brother. So we all we're all trying to kinda put a stop to him.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:42

I see. Well it seems we may have a common target at the time, so we may be together longer than we had originally planned.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:54

Yeah, uh you fight well and uh we can always use another pair of hands to deal with enemies and just try and survive in this uh sadly dangerous world.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:14

What do you plan on doing to uh Black Sky's brother once you find him?

SPEAKER_09 1:41:23

Well, uh he seems pretty far gone in his ways. We don't think we'll be able to talk him out of it, so uh if we have to, we'll we'll well we'll kill him if he won't stop.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:42

Very well. I just I want I want to be honest, uh once we do find him, my plan is to avenge my brother.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:57

I see, so yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:00

Uh Skye, what's as this conversation is happening, Skye, what's your um what's your inner thoughts inner dialogue?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:14

Uh just no thoughts, really? Just I mean no thoughts besides like thinking like wow, red waves did a lot of damage in the short amount of time that he was gone.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:37

And as Shusui is kind of like trying to find the words to reply to to Lee. Lee, you also uh remember that although the party here hasn't told you exactly where they're heading, that Sky had let us slipped earlier when he said to Drennor it is.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:02

Uh I can help some leading leading us to Drennor. I am originally from there, but like I said, it's been a long, long time, and things may be different. To Drennor.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:22

Did I say that?

SPEAKER_09 1:43:26

Uh yeah, back at the uh sign.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:32

Ah. Well yeah. I guess we are going to Drennor, so we could use your knowledge and expertise about the region.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:48

How did you three begin traveling together?

SPEAKER_05 1:43:55

So yeah. Um, like I said earlier, Wagnu and I just Yeah, long story short, uh Wagnu and I got trapped in a forest. Um I was on my way to look for my brother. Wagnu was on his way to look for his village, and we just somehow crossed path. And we met with Shisui along the way. Oh yeah. Fighting is the least of all worries. I think um it's a matter of time. That's what worries us.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:51

As Guy says time. Lee, what's your passive perception or passive insight?

SPEAKER_01 1:44:58

Uh-uh. My passive perception is 16, my passive insight is 13.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:06

As he says the word time, you can feel like almost like a weight over Sky's face. Uh almost like there's like a sense of urgency to get to to Drenor. Wagnu, this is the first time you've met someone from Drenor, and so far from what you know, this is possibly your hometown, your home village. What's your how are you feeling?

SPEAKER_06 1:45:41

After my trance, I feel like well rested, and I kinda overheard Lee mention a little bit that he was from Jernor. And now I'm really curious because he's also an elf too. So I just I'm a little cautious because I don't want to give my hopes up. Kinda like what I've done before. And so I just kinda I'm interested in Lee and like more of his history, but I don't wanna I don't wanna put all my eggs into that one basket. But I do since I have finished my trance, I do wanna like take over the watch and like sw switch out like shifts if anyone else wants to rest.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:38

Yeah, you start walking over to the campsite.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:43

Uh I think yeah, Lee uses. Well, uh, you're welcome to ask me any questions. I I will be honest when you ask me. Uh I'm going to get some rest now if that's alright.

SPEAKER_08 1:46:58

Hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:00

And I'll have to talk to you more about it later. I'll mean yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:08

Like just kinda go a little bit further away from the fire, and he'll also go into like the kind of trance. Like meditate a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:19

And as you see uh Zeli enters his uh his meditative trance, it's very similar to what Wagnu was doing. Although he hasn't been doing it until now. And this is also the first time the three of you are actually awake together during a camp. Before it was always one of you guys or two of you guys taking watch and then one up or one sleeping. So is there anything that you would like to talk about?

SPEAKER_06 1:47:59

Um Yeah, LS blast black sky first. Like, why did you give me this? And I'll pull out the wind artifact.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:10

I mean, I just thought it'd be better in your hands. And then I'll pull out everything else. I kinda have a lot on my shoulders here. I see.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:26

I want to try to attune to the wind elemental artifact.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:38

You can try, it'll take you an hour to meditate to try and attune.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:45

Alright, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:49

Are you doing it in front of Shusui and Black Sky?

SPEAKER_06 1:48:53

Um, I'll do it in front of Black Sky, uh in front of both of them, and now I'll have I'll ask Black Sky, like, how did you attend to it, you know? Like what did you do? Well Yeah, what's the secret? And now have him watch over me while I do it.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:09

I don't think I'm the Yeah, and then uh like as um Wagnew's asking, I just kinda tell him, um, I don't think I'm the best teacher. I didn't I mean, all I did was just really talk to it. A lot. Like, a lot. But um Renji, the previous guardian, um he hasn't been answering back, so it could be something with Vangor. Could just be that Renji doesn't like me or Vangor, so I thought I handed someone else and see if he talks back.

SPEAKER_09 1:49:48

I mean, it could just be that if you weren't holding on to the artifact, therefore he just couldn't talk to you.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:56

Hmm. That's true. Yeah, I mean from

SPEAKER_06 1:50:00

Artifact Shizui.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:05

Uh no, not really. I've basically just kinda zoned out and kinda just kinda just relaxed. Kinda became one with Earth for a little bit, but uh no, I haven't had anyone talk to me.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:26

Hmm. Alright, well it couldn't hurt to give it a try. Wind artifact! Speak to me. I'll try to attune to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:38

Okay. You what's your method? How are you doing this?

SPEAKER_06 1:50:43

I'm just kind of like holding it.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:45

Give me like the descriptive.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:47

I'm just holding it like close to my chest, kind of where the the spirit tree used to resonate. And I'm just trying to talk to it and then asking it to like show me what it can do, show me its powers, and you know guy help me gu help guide me.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:08

Okay, and you are gonna meditate for an hour. Go ahead and roll me a d20 uh disadvantage.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:17

Gotcha. Die don't lie.

SPEAKER_06 1:51:25

Die don't lie. That's tragic! I actually rolled a Nat 20 on the second one, but the first one was a nine. That's so sad. Okay. Yeah. Damn.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:40

Yeah, with the nine. Um you don't You don't see or feel any response from the wind artifact.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:50

Damn. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:54

And that's an hour that passes. Is anyone else taking a rest or is anyone else doing anything else? Um I gosh, what are you gonna do?

SPEAKER_09 1:52:06

Yeah, at this point I asked someone to swap out uh the watch with me so I can take my long rest.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:16

Yeah. I'll be up. I'll be up. I was gonna say, uh Yeah. Uh and then I will just try to hunt for something. Scavenge for something for Vanguard before I take my long rest too.

SPEAKER_01 1:52:35

Whenever my long rest is done, I can take watch as well.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:39

Okay, Skye, you start to head out to the woods. Alright, so Skye, you go out to look for something. Yeah, just a little bit. Give me a survival check.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:51

Alright. Man's gotta eat. I did say two souls. I didn't promise. What though? Oh, okay. 16.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:02

16. Yeah, you you managed to uh to set traps and you catch like a like a rabbit.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:14

Alright, well, here's your first soul. Now just I'm sorry. Just ugh the edge of dawn.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:27

And as you stab it to the rabbit with the edge of dawn. Um unlike when you had unlike like the power or like the feeling of when the soul is being sucked. When uh it was the coach's member. You don't feel anything from from this?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:51

You uh you home? That's that's your first soul.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:57

What the fuck is this guy?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:59

Yo, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa. You are you hungry or not? I can't eat this. What do you mean you can't eat this? It's a soul. And what do you mean by eat? You said consume.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:18

This soul isn't strong enough. I need you to give me a charisma saving throw.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:26

I don't lie. Ooh, dirty 20.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:34

3020. You see you feel as it's almost trying to compel you, and it points you towards where Lee's sleeping or trancing right now. But it's it's trying to pull you towards that way, but your your your will is strong to keep you in place. You're breaking your promise.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:56

Huh? What promise? I said two souls, and you agreed.

SPEAKER_04 1:55:06

That isn't a soul. And as uh as the Edon says that, um almost like black icker starts to drip from your arm that's holding the dagger, and you take one point of exhaustion.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:25

Sorry, let me put down my notes. Alright. What the fuck, Vanguard? What is this?

SPEAKER_03 1:55:41

If I don't eat You're gonna suffer, don't you know that? I'm trying to keep you alive!

SPEAKER_05 1:55:53

I see. Is this this does this apply to the same as the Tidebreaker?

SPEAKER_03 1:56:04

What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05 1:56:08

The sword.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:11

The void bringer?

SPEAKER_05 1:56:13

The same thing, yes. Yeah, whatever whatever the name is. Um Okay. If you need it Wait, wait a minute. What do you mean trying to keep me alive? Give me a Kurisman check. Ooh, Nat 20, plus six.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:41

Here's the truth. You and I work together now. I need souls, and not this not this petty shit. But at least a human soul, Sky. Cause if you don't give me that soul, then I'm gonna take yours.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:11

What the a human soul? I mean, why didn't you say that in the first place? Well, maybe next time don't play games with me. Alright, well, secondly, if you need souls, then why don't you just lead me to the black dog? Can just feed you your underlings.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:34

I need it right now though.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:37

Ah man. Well, I can't do that. So it's either this rabbit for now, or I guess we both die.

SPEAKER_04 1:57:49

I guess we both die. And you take one more point of exhaustion. So with exhaustion, let me just double check real fast. There are um certain rules to it. Um an exhaustion point can only be recovered by taking a long rest. You recover one per long rest. Um at level one, you have disadvantage on ability checks, so pretty much every checks you have that you make right now are at disadvantage. And at level two, your ha your speed is halved. So right now you're at level two. Uh at level six, you die.

SPEAKER_05 1:58:32

Fuck like instantly.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:35

So right now you're at level two. Yeah, you you just die. And then you can only recover them with a long rest. Uh let me just double check.

SPEAKER_09 1:58:45

Yeah, the new one doesn't give you disadvantage, it just gives you minus uh two times your exhaustion level to whatever you roll. And then everything else is the same. There's just no disadvantage.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:58

Okay. So that first one is a little different. So you get minus two to your ability checks instead of the disadvantage, which is a little better.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:06

Well, he has exhaustion too, so minus four.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:10

No shit, yeah. Actually, that's not that's not that's actually worse.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:12

That is worse, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_04 1:59:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:15

Okay. Alright. Alright, back in character. Um. Alright, well, if you're gonna be picky, I'm gonna go to sleep. I'm tired. I need a rest.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:32

You go back and you find a nice little place and you start to close your eyes. At this point, um couple hours pass, and Lee, you wake up from your trance. Wagney's still up. Is there anything else you guys want to do before morning comes?

SPEAKER_06 1:59:54

Yeah, I'll I'll just ask Lee if he has anything like this, and I'll show him the wind element artifact.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:06

Uh no. As as Wag News shows you the artifacts, um, you know exactly what these are. You haven't so you haven't actually like seen one up close aside from the one at Drenar. But you know what these are. And you know that they belong to the guardians of the elements of Yuping.

SPEAKER_01 2:00:35

Uh no, I do not possess uh one of these, uh, but it seems how many do you have of these now?

SPEAKER_06 2:00:48

Well, originally I had this really cool looking one, and I'll pull out the water elemental one. And then over our journeys together, our adventures, we gathered more, and right now we have three in our possession. But you know what these are.

SPEAKER_01 2:01:12

Yeah, uh I I've like I said, I am from Drenner, so I do I do know of them. I've never actually seen one in person though.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:26

Oh well, how about you hold on to this one? And I'll toss the win element artifact in.

SPEAKER_04 2:01:39

Okay. What are you doing, Lee?

SPEAKER_01 2:01:42

Um, I think just out of instinct I'd catch it.

SPEAKER_04 2:01:49

You catch the win artifact and your hand instantly like almost like sinks a little bit. Uh there's a pretty hefty weight on it.

SPEAKER_01 2:01:59

Why are you trusting me with this?

SPEAKER_06 2:02:04

I still remember how we met. How that arrow landed in front of us. You could have shot us, but you didn't. And if I'm being honest, something about you reminds me of the faintest memories of my hometown, my home village. So, I figured might as well let you hold on to this.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:43

Oh, I'll I'll keep it safe.

SPEAKER_06 2:02:46

Please do.

SPEAKER_01 2:02:47

Where did you say you were from?

SPEAKER_06 2:02:51

I actually don't even remember. I was young when my village was ransacked. And I know my ears don't look the same, but I just remembered my village being full of elves and full of music. And I'm hoping Jerner can lead me there.

SPEAKER_01 2:03:19

Well, I I can say that I have been to places that you describe like this.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:29

No way.

SPEAKER_01 2:03:31

But I believe you three have a lot more to learn about what's about the world.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:41

Well, what do you know of Jarner?

SPEAKER_01 2:03:49

Uh yeah, it's it's where I grew up.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:53

Hmm.

SPEAKER_01 2:03:54

Me and my brother.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:57

What was it like?

SPEAKER_01 2:04:00

Well, I mean it was nice. Um you have clearly seen my sort of powers in a way of me teleporting around. And when I was y a lot younger, um I didn't have quite full control of these powers, and um it separated me from home for a long time.

SPEAKER_06 2:04:39

I ever since I lost my village, I've um suppressed anything that could link me or make me seem like an elf, as you can see, and I'll motion to my ears to show him how I kind of like cut them shorter. So it feels good to be in the presence of another elf and to not have to hide it. So I hope I can trust you on this journey.

SPEAKER_01 2:05:17

Well, uh you can trust me. I'm glad I got to meet some friendly faces.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:05:33

And then Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:35

That was great. Awesome. Keep going.

SPEAKER_06 2:05:38

I was just gonna ask, like, uh is the time of day now, like morning or uh, about this time, uh, the sun's it's about to it's starting to rise.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:02

Before the rest of the As you all finally wake up. Okay, before they wake up, go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 2:06:07

Oh yeah, sorry. I was gonna say before the rest of the crew in the wake up, I just wanted to like take one like good glance at Lee and like just see if I feel any kind of like magic coming from him, or now that I've given him the artifact.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:26

Um Let's see. And as you kind of cast that spell, you feel a lot of things coming from Lee. You feel magic coming from Lee's Lee's bow. You so you feel magic uh coming from like a what seems to be like a bag on his on his hips, his waist. You also feel immense magic coming from the the cloak that he wears. And you feel the immense magic from the wind artifact that he now holds. Give me a give me a give me your f your fate check. This could be big.

SPEAKER_06 2:07:31

Ooh, wait, do I just roll a d20?

SPEAKER_04 2:07:36

A d20, okay.

SPEAKER_06 2:07:38

Let's go. It's a three, man. That's tragic.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:45

It's a three. Of a three, you feel like a like almost like an urge. Like you should know more, you should understand more, but you you don't quite grasp like the the whole of it all. When you look at Lee, that is.

SPEAKER_06 2:08:09

I see. Okay, thank you. I just wanted to get some inside.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:18

Oh yeah. Everyone starts to wake up.

SPEAKER_05 2:08:25

Oh, Rise and Shine. It's about that time ready. Oh man. Yeah. I'm uh don't mind me, but wow, I'm I'm for some reason I'm really tired than normal, so. Yeah. Excuse me.

SPEAKER_06 2:08:51

We just had a long fight.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:53

You do take off one point of exhaustion for you, Sky. You only gotta level one now.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:58

Everyone ready to hit the road.

SPEAKER_06 2:09:02

Yeah, just about.

SPEAKER_05 2:09:06

Yeah. I'm all good. All good to go.

SPEAKER_09 2:09:13

Lee, you seem to know the way, so uh, I'll let you take the lead and uh I'll cover the rear.

SPEAKER_01 2:09:22

Alright.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:31

Alright. Uh Lee. Go ahead and give me a survival check. Okay. Or you can also give me a history check to try to recall how it used to be to get back to your home.

SPEAKER_01 2:09:45

Um my survival is better. Okay. Oh, and that one. Oh let's go.

SPEAKER_05 2:09:56

Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:03

Alright, so you start taking everything in. Um, some of the landmarks here are not what it used to be. It's it's been a while since you've been back. But even then, you your your experience as a as a tracker, as someone who's just used to being alone and trying to survive. You start to find like familiar uh familiar areas where maybe there used to be a tree there, but it's not there anymore. Maybe there used to be a rock there, but it's not there anymore. You recall these memories and these experiences from when you were here. And eventually you find your way with your Netro 20, you find your way to what seems to be just one big giant tree as the group come up behind you.

SPEAKER_01 2:11:09

So, um, is this tree the location we're going to?

SPEAKER_04 2:11:19

As you come up to the tree, you turn behind to your newfound friends or accomplices, and you tap on the tree, and you kind of point upwards. Because Drenner isn't a village that is down on the ground, it's a village up in the trees where the elves are. You start hearing music from up above. Sky and Shusui, you hear music almost kind of similar to the music that Wagnu often plays Is Is that a the sound of a loot?

SPEAKER_05 2:12:26

Shusui?

SPEAKER_09 2:12:28

Uh I believe so.

SPEAKER_05 2:12:32

That's it's not coming from Wagnu, right?

SPEAKER_06 2:12:43

I can't play my loot anymore.

SPEAKER_05 2:12:49

Wag Wagnu, are you hearing this?

SPEAKER_06 2:12:58

I don't wanna believe it. And Wagneu is like visibly shaken. Um almost brought to tears. It sounds so beautiful. I almost forgot the beautiful sound of a loot.

SPEAKER_05 2:13:21

I I look over to Lee. Wait, you said you are also from here? This is my home.

SPEAKER_01 2:13:37

And I can kind of point up in the trees.
