All right, I'd like to welcome everyone back to a brand new episode.
of the naturals.
Now, I don't want anyone to be alarmed about what you're about to hear.
This party is assuredly all new and all different than who you might be used to.
But please don't stress.
The story of the tater tots is far from over
I just think that the world of the Shatterlands is far too expansive to contain just one adventuring party.
So I've invited some new friends to play in this little sandbox of ours.
What you're about to hear is a totally unique story about Ardea.
Our intentions are that it might intertwine with the tales told by and about the Tater Tots
But honestly, I can't promise you that.
I am simply one piece of the puzzle, and all of my best efforts aside, stories and characters go where they want to go.
With all that ado aside, I'd like to welcome you to this brand new episode of
The naturals.
It ends in fire
You see it now so clearly that it rips the wind from your lungs and makes you double over.
If you continue down this road, if you follow this path that you have set your feet and your friends upon, you will burn.
You will all burn Morelia
You get the honor of making the first roll of our campaign.
So I'm gonna ask you I am gonna ask you to take your duality dice.
And you're gonna give us an instinct role.
And while you do that, could you introduce us to your character?
Well, I have an eleven with fear.
Okay.
So Morelia is a fungal witch.
And she's got one of those caps on her head that kind of just sits at a low height and kind of just droops a little bit.
And see her eyes still.
Um and her eyes are like a a like a cloudy, misty fog inside with a with a a piercing light that comes from like deep in where her pupils would be.
Mm-hmm.
Um
on the top of her cap, which is like a slight gray, she's got biluminescent freckles in blue.
Um
Because of her earthkin lineage, um she's got a little bit more of a hardy skin underneath her her velvety um surface.
Um and her unique builds doesn't really mean she needs to wear clothes because her body just
forms around the natural, you know parts.
Yeah.
Um yeah.
But she does wear um
Like a a vine rope around, kind of like a in a harness style.
Aesthetic, but also utility.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Okay.
Alright.
And just remind me, that's a 11 with fear.
11 with fear.
Okay.
Do I do I add you said instinct role, so do I add my instinct?
You would add your instinct modifier, yeah.
That would be a twelve then.
Okay, perfect.
Alright, we're gonna return to the result of that role in just a minute.
So, as you are seeing this, your shining eyes go white and cloudy.
your irises as they were.
Like it seems like they are their light more than they are color.
Those irises almost disappear, and another sight, a deeper sight, from some wellspring within you
Takes over and you see it the fire
It surrounds you.
It consumes you.
It is a cage you are locked within.
It whispers that it could free you from.
the cage that actually contains you, your skin, and your flesh, and your bone
If you just give its hungry tongue a small taste, you will be free.
You will finally be free.
You breathe.
Letting the the moment.
Wash over you, and as you look beyond yourself, you see your friends, and you watch as the fire yearns.
For them as well.
For a moment, you feel something that to your mind registers as jealousy?
The fire was yours.
It wanted
You.
It wasn't supposed to want them.
They are nothing
Tools that you use to accomplish your ends.
Grist for the mill.
But as you look around in this vision they're fighting.
They are fighting
More nobly than you could have possibly foreseen.
The threads that you use to unravel the weave that binds the world
did not tell you that they would go out with such dignity.
It didn't tell you that they would fight
The last.
But still they do.
The rest of you, besides
Morelia, I'm gonna need you to take your duality dice, and you all are going to do a group reaction roll right now.
I need you to
Select one of you, one of the three of you, as the leader.
I'm not gonna tell you what it's for, but you are going to select one of you as the leader, and what you roll.
is going to determine what happens now.
The leader is gonna roll one thing, and the rest of you are going to add or subtract from this moment based on the result of your role.
I'll do it.
I'll I'll leave it.
I'm happy to do it.
This is intense.
I'll do it.
This is intense.
I mean
Obviously the better the better twin would do it, right?
I mean, of course the older, the eldest should.
Oh no.
Obviously.
Kran Kranz rolls his eyes.
Yes, I suppose.
So if uh if Almathara is going to be the lead, why don't we have your duality dice first?
Okay.
Uh because this is a reaction role, hope and fear are not going to come into play here.
So just tell me the the result of the the two days.
Okay.
It is
Three with hope.
I hope doesn't matter.
Three though.
Okay.
I think we need a better leader.
Okay.
Okay.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
This is the moment Krance was looking for.
A confident three A confident three.
That's a great title for this episode.
That is how many is in our that is 100% how many is in our party right now.
You you are counting correctly.
Okay, what did you get on to equality dice?
What about you, Crans, Alcrans?
Uh crayons.
Does do crits matter here?
Sh sure.
Give me a cr uh give me a crit if you got one.
It's I got double sixes.
Double sixes is fantastic.
Double sixes for a critical.
Never missing an opportunity to show up, my dear sister.
Perfect.
Beautiful.
What about you, Arathane?
I got a nine.
I got a nine.
Um
I wanna re reward that crit because crits are not the most common thing.
Uh let me kind of be blunt.
for you as as the GM of this.
The DC that you were supposed to hit
is based on what the leader of the role rolls.
Your leader rolled a three.
Which I think realistically is the lowest role in Daggerheart.
It is.
You can't you can if you roll two ones, that's technically a crit.
So three is literally the worst roll.
So you have
You have rolled legitimately the lowest roll, but your brother, Alecrans, rolled a crit.
And I don't think that should go without notice.
Jim, quick question.
Yeah, what's up?
Um, when you roll the duality dice, are you supposed to add the hope and the fear together, the numbers?
Yes.
When you roll the duality dice, you roll the two numbers together.
I gave you the wrong number earlier.
What was the number?
So adding them together is a eighteen and then plus the one was a nineteen.
I only said what the fear die said on it.
Oh, okay.
So I okay.
So you had a nineteen I was that a nineteen with fear?
Yes, it's still fear.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I I should clarify.
Um so when you roll duality dice, you roll both dice.
Um whatever number is higher is whether with hope or with fear, and you add them both together.
So that's that's a that's a great a great piece to start.
I should have clarified that.
Um that doesn't affect what's happening right now.
Okay.
Um
I'm debating where to go from here.
Um, okay, so I am going to take Elecrans' crit.
And I am going to elevate Alacranz's crit to help your cause quite significantly.
Because you miss the DC by
sixfold, essentially.
Order some magnitude.
But I think it's interesting that Alakrans has uh has rolled
Essentially the the the the best thing that you can roll.
So the three of you who are not
Marillia, stay on your feet.
Still fighting.
You are beat and battered and bruised.
But you are not entirely broken.
There is something still inside of you that persists.
Alakrans, I'm gonna start with you, because you rolled the crit.
You saved this
for the rest of you.
Unfortunately, because of the severity of this fight, you still see three of the enemy you swing at.
You've been hit so many times you can't be sure if what you're seeing is real, or simply the last gasps of a mind deprived of the oxygenated blood it needs to survive.
Arithane, you see your family.
You reel back, ready to unleash a spell you've cast.
A thousand times.
And you stop.
Because what you're seeing isn't the foe you fought ceaselessly against for so long
It's your mother.
And she looks at you with all the love in her heart.
And you know that if you cast this spell, you will kill her.
Almathara, you see yourself, your greatest foe, your biggest obstacle, the one thing that has always gotten in the way.
your destiny stands before you, and as you face it, bleeding and on the doorstep of death, you know now what it is
It's you.
You tried for so many years to blame your brother.
You thought that maybe your lineage or upbringing were to blame.
But defeat makes everything clear.
Now back to Morelia's role
I had set up different results based on whether or not this role was with fear or with hope.
So
As you see this vision, Marillia, a small, soft voice whispers to you
It is beyond alteration now.
There is only one path.
One road, and you are already walking it.
You gasp.
The vision collapses around you.
You're back from it and back in the present.
You see the people you have come to know on each side of you, and as you look at them,
The cell door enclosing you in this jail closes with a bang.
You all take a moment to reorient yourself as the cart you are in
Starts to roll down the dirt path that you are on
You've been captured by the guard, and they are transporting you to prison.
That much is absolutely certain at this point.
The lock turning over with a loud ch
On the cell of your rolling prison is all the proof that you need.
You are not the only prisoners in this moving cell, but there are many, many guards watching over you to make sure your transport is safe.
And secure.
So I guess this is as good time as any for us to meet the rest of the characters besides Morelia.
That we just witnessed in this vision of the future.
Who would like to go first?
I think the big man should go first.
Is that you talking about yourself?
I actually don't know that.
Oh no.
It's me the big man.
I mean I think I'm the big man, honestly.
I mean the me, big guy.
It's a me, the large guy.
Big dragonling.
I mean the the gentleman with the ten
foot wingspan.
That's like it that way.
Yes, literally.
It's gotta have its own part, right?
There's no way.
I was gonna say it's gotta be real tight in here.
Maybe they just have him like attached on a rope with like, you know, on something with wheels in the back dragging him or something.
Doesn't fit in the cart.
Okay, so we're gonna say that there we're gonna say that Arithain is more like you all are in a cage and Aerytheon is kind of on a separate cart that's still being pulled along, but maybe like tied down separately.
I'm absolutely okay with that.
Good.
And less based on that reaction, you're not?
Question mark?
And no, I'm just I'm trying to visualize it.
Yeah, okay.
Is there anything I can help with?
I should clarify, by the way, that Morelia is the only one that has had that vision and
You don't know anything.
The rest of us are a blemish.
You don't know anything about that, but that vision ended the moment
the door of the cell that you are locked in.
Or in your case, uh, Erethan, the do the moment that the the chains were wrapped around you.
I mean, realistically, they're not happening at the same time, but for for story emphasis, we're gonna say it happened.
At the same moment.
Fate, do you w do you want a few to think about it?
No, no, I d it's okay.
So on
On an open cart directly behind a caged cart lays very uncomfortably.
A blue-hued dragon with silver undertones.
Almost like you're looking through silver through ice.
Hmm.
If he were to stretch out, he'd be about seven feet long.
Head to tail.
But tails having to be tucked in, it's it's more of a last-minute improved
cart that I am laying on.
Um they I'm I'm fairly rare in this region of the world.
That they're not real sure how to bound me down.
Mm-hmm.
Um so much as I was okay with just, you know
Staying with my group and not really giving up much of a fight.
I understand they don't want me to fly off shake the cart.
I'm I guess I can be intimidating to these guys, but
A lot of my dragon features, unlike um most dragons, the dragonlings are a little bit more softer.
The the the horns are a little bit more less less sharp
The scales are a little bit smoother and rounded as they are layered on my body.
What does seem to still carry over is my teeth are sharp.
My claws are
extremely piercing.
Um they have got my wings bound to me by chains and then the rest of my body is is bound by rope.
to this cart as I lay down in sort of a semicircle.
Um almost Ouroborus like, and I could almost probably bite that very unruly tail of mine.
Uh pretty resigned as uh the i I don't have a way to actually look above uh the cart at this moment
I'm pretty resigned to just trying to get a little bit of sleep, I guess, at this point.
Um so a slight
Snooze is coming for me, which probably in the next few minutes will turn into a loud snore.
Um
Uh if my eyes were open, they'd be a piercing green emerald.
Cats like in the sense of the slits, the uh the iris slits.
Um
And uh I'd almost want to see
Trying to think of anything else to add to it.
Um if I were to be standing up on all fours, I would probably be about
two and a half to three feet-ish off the ground.
Um and my wingspan is uh ten feet wide with a very just light blue um
uh leathery wing um oh what what what do you put what what it's called for
What's the the part of the wink?
I don't know what that part's called.
I got maybe the webbing.
The webbing.
Yeah, but it's not really webbed.
It's just very smooth, so it doesn't really look very webbing.
Webbed.
Um, but it's not translucent.
It's very it's very it's very opaque.
Um Yeah, and that's
Is there anything I'm missing with him?
I don't think there's anything else I'm missing with him on that.
Let me ask you a question before we we check in with the other characters.
How does Aratheon feel about
Being in a different section of the captured prisoners as
everyone else.
So um your friends that you've been traveling with for a while, you have Morelia and you have Almathara and you have Alecrans who we'll meet kind of more fully in a minute.
But they're all in what I guess would be described as like
Gen pop, they're all in like general population, and you're on your own cart.
How does Arithan feel about that?
Um I
I don't I don't think I'm any negative feeling like I don't it's I I I miss talking to my friends, right?
But it's not like they're they're just right there.
I could just yell for 'em.
Um you're you're definitely to be clear in like you don't even have to yell.
Like it's it's like their their sell on wheels
And then a l little chain and then you're on your own cart chained down.
I understand why I'm not with gin pop because I I I am who I am and I they
Um people in this region of the world just don't understand what a dragonling is in the sense of wh when we do when we do what they classify as a crime.
how to handle me.
Um I I assume the transportation thing again is more of like a makeshift they had to put it together.
They weren't expecting it like
Just be like, hey, let's uh look, you know, let's arrest a a dragging, a dragonling, you know.
Um I suspect that when we get to wherever we're going, I'll probably be able to mingle with everybody again.
Maybe.
Uh
I just wanna see is it does being excluded feels like the wrong word when we're talking about jail.
But does being like
ostracized from from this does it do anything to Arathan?
Not at the moment.
Arithan, just just because generally what Arithan does, um, I'm I'm more analyzing and more trying to understand uh it it's why my mom left me.
And well, and my dad too, but it was really my mom too.
Left me to go adventure and explore the world and kinda sort of like, you know, proverbally kicked me out of the nest.
Um is so I could experience things and I've got a I and I understand that I need to
understand.
Um so there's there's more of a logic based reasoning.
Uh I don't feel ostracized yet.
Okay.
So there's opportunity for the guard to make you feel that way.
Got it.
Okay.
Noted.
Good.
Sure.
Okay.
Um we have a few other characters that we've only met
In the end times.
So um, we have two twins.
Which of you would like to to to start?
I think we should save the best for last, and Tidley should go last.
Well when I went first last time it we have a confident three, so.
Uh you know, I uh I wasn't gonna say it, but you know, you said it, so I'll just I'll just say it's a good idea.
Honestly the confidence three is a great name for this party.
It doesn't make any sense, and that's kinda why I love it
Um Alacranz is a an elf, uh is a is a young elf man, probably a little south of a hundred.
Um
He is wearing a green, like tailcoat with gold embroidery, you know, bright buttons uh down under like over a waistcoat, and it is tattered
Now it's muddy uh at the bottom, there's rips in it, um there's blood spatter down one side, um
And his blonde hair, which is normally kind of tied back, um, with you know, small braids along the side, is musked.
He's bleeding from the nose, he's got a black eye, um, and he's kind of like
holding whatever he can find that's cold, that's you know, to his eye to try to drop the swelling.
Um clearly has had the rougher end of whatever conflict they were in last, uh, because he does not
Uh he loves a fight.
And if there was a fight, if there was if there was some fashion in which they were gonna end up imprisoned, he was gonna fight out as long as he could
Um not only for himself, but to protect his sister as well.
But he is bumping along on this hard, uncomfortable wooden bench.
Weaponless, he's his armor's missing, he has no idea what's happened to it.
if they even you know took it from him, if it's somewhere he can find um after they get through all of this.
He's kind of assumed it's lost.
Um and he's
Got a pounding headache.
Just rattling around in his brain.
And part of it is from the pummeling he took and part of it is probably from a hangover.
But he is
bumping along on the wood next to his twin sister and holding his blackened eye and trying to staunch whatever bleeding is happening from his nose
And he looks out through the bars at uh Eritheans and mumbles to himself, Only he could sleep at a time like this.
Good.
And this is this is said quietly to uh his sister who I assume is sitting next to him.
It's good.
And you actually touched on something that
I haven't talked about yet, but it's important to note that uh as you're looking at your character sheets, I assume uh
Many of you probably have armor and you probably have weapons.
And I'm gonna need to make sure
That those are not equipped on your characters currently because That's a great catch.
Because you are
arrested currently and I also I just for mechanic wise uh I voluntarily marked three hp three hit points and two stress
And I marked I marked well, I don't have any equipped armor, but um when I had armor equipped, I marked all of my armor slots.
It was uh it clearly in the aftermath of a pretty significant tussle.
Um and Kranz doesn't like uh he he does not like leaving a fight uh in anything other than victory.
He's a he's a
An accomplished duelist, he is supremely confident in himself, probably to the point of overconfidence, definitely to the point of overconfidence.
Um and so I think he was in a position of thinking that he could fight his way out of this and was roundly uh shown that he was wrong.
Yeah, I was gonna ask in this moment, bleeding and bruised
and arrested does Alecrans feel like the accomplished duelist that he is known himself to be and in just in this moment.
Does he still feel that, or does he believe that maybe in in a quiet part of himself that he wouldn't
tell to it like of all people he would not tell to his sister, but uh of of any any person does he believe that maybe the
The the speciality that he is are always
held about himself might not be right.
Just in this moment, not in general.
I d I think he's feeling pretty uh pretty chagrined.
Um, you know, fighting
Turns out fighting four or five or six people very different from fighting one and uh not what he's used to.
Um
But I think he's also i he's his mind is already making up excuses.
If I'd only had my swords, if I hadn't tripped on that chair, if, you know, only my my coat hadn't like caught
You know, they hadn't like managed to grab it, we would have been fine.
He's he's finding reasons to to write off whatever just happened, despite the blood trickling down through his like um
Five o'clock shadow a cry you know down his chin onto his very expensive clothes.
There are always excuses and reasons that the things that happen to you
Are not your fault, aren't they?
Right.
Almatara
What's going on?
So Lady Almathara Moondown, sister of um Kranz, older sister of Krance.
Um they're twins, so there's this ongoing
ongoing question of who is older.
Um she is um sitting next to her brother.
Um she has blonde hair that's so light it's almost silver and gray eyes.
Um she's
She's imprisoned, but she's very um haughty and and you know self-important.
So she's um she might have some concerns, but if you looked at her, you would never guess that she was worried about anything at all.
She's sitting upright, confident.
Confidently, um, you know, basically she looks ready for combat.
She, you know, she's she's wearing um fine clothing.
um that's also tattered, but it looks like she's she's made an effort to to present kind of a Kempt appearance.
Um but you know there's rips and tears and um but it's you can tell it's really high quality.
Um it's just that
you know, she's been through the ringer, um and she's, you know, dirty, but you know, she's made an effort to, you know, present herself well with her, you know, keeping her hair um braided like her brother and um and all of that
Um, so she is um, you know, incredibly elegant.
She looks out of place in this kind of grimy cart, um, like she doesn't belong.
Um and if you look at her um
She she's got kind of this um this presence about her, this this um charisma or possible magic.
Whenever you look at her, you kind of feel like
you know, there's there's wind happening or there's something there's something magical that's happening when you look at her.
Like she's got this confidence, this aura, this this um that she's just radiating just sitting there.
Um
And she is, like I said, she is sitting next to her brother.
Um, if you looked at her, you would never know that she has any kind of concern, but internally she's
Um she's thinking through all of um kind of like thinking about what just happened, thinking about um all of the threats around her.
She's
hyper aware of her environment.
Um she you c she she looks unconcerned and unbothered, but you can tell um if you pay attention that she's glancing at her brother frequently.
She's concerned about his injuries
Um she's basically um it i has kind of like this protective um you know attitude towards him so she's she's definitely um you know concerned and and and basically occupying a space where she she could
intervene if there was some kind of um situation that that came up.
She's very much in kind of like this like supposed nonchalant, but very, very much caring about what's happening right now and very concerned about her brother.
So she's incredibly chalant.
She is she she is very chalant.
She is acting nonchalant, but she is incredibly chalant.
Okay, perfect.
Um so you are dressed in these fine clothes.
And I think this is also true for uh Alocrans, despite the fact that they are uh at this point, they've seen better days.
Um as a lot of your clothing has, you you both come from
Fine places and means, and you have spent some time away from that.
Mm-hmm.
And right now
the things that you're wearing, um, even though they are in states of disrepair or states of uh
They're not necessarily well kept.
Um You are ca And we've just apparently been through a brawl.
You are you are still much
much more well kept than the people not in your party that are in this cage with you because
When you were when you were thrown into the cell and the guards threw you in in a very brusque manner, no one was
actually concerned about like how it was going to go or you know uh how you were going to be treated.
They all threw you in
Kind of kind of haphazardly.
Um, you're sitting next to people who are wearing sackcloth as clothing, and you are wearing fine silk.
Granted, the fine silk is
Maybe torn or maybe muddy or things like that.
Yeah.
What's it like looking around to these other people that aren't in your party and seeing
Someone in it in a completely different walk of life sitting next to you in the same situation you are
Yeah, Almathara, she definitely has a resting bitch face.
Like she's sitting in that cart and she's looking at she's like not making eye contact with anyone
She knows there's definitely this kind of haughty air to her where she she's like, I don't deign to I don't deign to breathe the same as these
peasant people, right?
So she's kind of got that attitude.
Um she's she is a little she's definitely concerned, but there's there's very much uh
you know, even though we're in this cart together, she still feels like she's better than all of the people that are there and her brother's also, you know.
you know, better than all the people that are there.
Um, just by dint of their origin.
Um, you know, and she she you know, s there's a
a fly kind of lands on her and she kind of flicks it off and is like disgusted by it.
You know, it's just this kind of like this smell, you know, that's emanating from the corner where maybe somebody relieved themselves in the car like it's just
Like it's it's like this disgusting environment.
She's like, oh, this is oh distasteful.
So even though she yeah.
Yeah.
I think Alec Rands also would like
He would he would attempt to make sure he's not touching anybody who's not like of their station.
Almathar, can you can you roll your duality dice and add your uh instinct modifier for me?
Okay.
Mmm are our hands
Or or feet manacled or are we are we?
You are definitely chained in as well.
They are not super confident that i just closing the door would be a thing that would keep you in.
Um what's so what's the the in is it instinct modifier?
What is that?
The on your character sheet it looks like your instinct is plus three.
Oh, there we go.
Okay.
Great.
Okay.
Yep.
Alright.
Alright, that is a 12 with fear plus the modifiers 15.
Okay, so 15 with fear.
That's a pretty good roll, honestly.
Um
You as you flick this fly that was kind of buzzing, your eyes follow it off to the side, and you actually notice someone in the corner of the cell catch it.
And as you're watching, puts it in his mouth, it's possible that the people in the cell maybe haven't eaten in a while.
And I think everybody in the party might not be able to relate to that because you all do all right.
You all do all right.
Um so in this moment you
You get a glimpse of what the other side of the world lives like.
And
It's not good and before
we shift focus to Morelia, who has had this vision that none of you know about so far.
We're gonna actually
cut back to before you were chained up in this cell.
And we're gonna talk a little bit about how you got here.
So we are going to cut to the tavern
Where this fight broke out.
And before this fight broke out, you were all sitting around a table.
You all had drinks.
You all were minding your own business.
But there is one thing that I want to put in your mind.
As an important piece of information.
You all
Need to be arrested in order to continue on your path.
If you are not arrested.
Your plan will fail.
Ooh, okay.
Colour me intrigued.
The threads tell me.
So, you're sitting around a table.
You're all sharing drinks.
There's so much like it's classic tavern sounds.
There's laughter
After there's drinking, people are walking by spilling like for the twins especially.
The the moments of like
the drunk people walking by with the the full tankards of ale spilling them down like the back of your silks that are at this point in
pristine condition because we're in the past.
Um these this moment is jovial, it's exciting, it's happy
But for all of you, you know that there is a specific reason that I'm gonna let you guys describe to me
That you need to be arrested and taken to jail.
Well I think we start at the beginning.
Absolutely.
Uh which is uh this cacophonous tavern.
Um I think Korranz picked it because it's close to the um the the
like dueling grounds in this city.
And he has made a killing today.
He has been out since the early morning, taking all comers, and he's done nothing but win.
And so he
If if they're sitting at the stable, he doesn't care that he feels beer down the back of his you know, his his tailcoat.
He takes like three or four big, you know
It like bags of gold, like pouch-sized bags of gold, and just slams them down on the table.
And you can tell he's like maybe already had
a shot or two 'cause there's like a rosy glow to his cheek and he's like his hair is all sweaty from fighting all day.
And uh he looks around at him at the rest of them and then at his sister and goes
I told you.
I told you.
Bunch of amateurs in this town.
I knew I would run the table, and here we are.
What did I say?
I'd never a doubt, darling.
You're so good in the arena.
You give me such
Inspiration, you know, I I just I I love seeing you in the stands, but your frown and your sharp eye and your constant criticism keeps me on the
I do so.
Someone must continue to criticize, given your ego.
Well, yes, perhaps someone needs to knock me down to size, but no one can And I do believe I'm entitled to 30% of proceeds.
For all of my own.
He's so thrilled, he just like undoes the strings on the bags and just shoves all the gold onto the table.
Just like everyb this is everybody's, he doesn't care, just like everybody grab some and waves down a a
a waiter or a waitress whoever's there um to order like you know, once they come over he's like
the most expensive champagne you can find.
I don't mean here.
I mean anywhere within uh a three hundred yard radius.
If you have to leave this establishment to find it the most expensive bottle of champagne you can find
Do so.
Bring it here.
Um so just like ordering drinks for the entire- And the waiter's like, ah, the swill then, and charge them extra.
And walks walks away before you can say anything.
And Lady Almatara is um is definitely drinking and whenever she drinks, like she loses a little bit of her her toot.
She's less tootie.
So she's she know, she's having a good time.
She's a little more relaxed.
She turns around to there's like a gnome sitting at the next table over and she starts trying to talk in gnomish to him.
But she doesn't actually speak it, but she thinks she does and she she's trying to do she's trying
to talk to him and he's just looking at her like she's crazy.
Like but she's she's happy in this good mood and so you know whenever she's drunk she's she's way more confident than she actually should be.
Um but she's having a good time she's you know
Drinking rubbing elbows to people.
Absolutely.
As Allocrans is dumping the gold on the table, Morelia kind of just scans the room to see if any eyes
the lights on it if someone is too interested in the pile of gold.
If there is sh she wants to make eye contact with them.
Oh, that's a great question.
Make them break their contact on the gold and look away.
Absolutely.
Okay.
If you could roll an instinct.
Is this like intimidation?
Yeah, I mean staring step.
Mind your own business.
In unless you're thinking something different, that sounds like an instinct check to in terms of like perceiving around you, but if you would like to
Instead do something like a presence?
Presence check in terms of like just giving people the stink eye.
That's absolutely fine by me.
Now would that be a d20 roll?
Uh it's always gonna be a d12, two d12s in terms of checks in deck of heart, so.
Gletsch.
Oh oh that's a crit.
That's two fours.
Nice.
Let's go.
Okay, so um uh in dagger heart when you get a crit
You get a uh you get a hope.
You clear a stress, which I don't think you have, because we've literally just started just started just just started playing.
So um and on top of that
You actually you look across the tavern
You make unexpected eye contact with a demon who has
Very clearly been looking at the gold that Alakran set on the table.
And as you look at this daemon, and the daemon looks up from
the gold to your eyes, you see something in this daemon wither.
Under your stare.
And you know that
Whatever's about to happen, because once again, you all know
That you need to get arrested.
You know something's coming, even if everybody else in the tavern doesn't.
You know that you're prepared in a way that this daemon is not.
Or which got some backbone.
Got some bass to her voice.
So.
Yeah you.
Uh let me ask a question here, specifically to make sure everybody's uh kinda involved
Erathane, you're a dragonling.
You are the only dragonling in this entire tavern.
And you likely are taking up more space than a few of the other patrons.
What's going on with you?
So that stare down happens and then what kind of sort of breaks that stare down
For Marillia to kind of sort of look away is the the fudding of the whole establishment as
Eritheon is shaking his literal tail on the dance floor by himself because that's
He's the only one who could fit on it.
Um, and just and just vibing big time with the the uh um leer and the song and dance that's going on.
Um uh it it it is shaking the establishment a little bit.
The bartender's looking over going, if it gets a little too rowdy
You know, it might be it might be a problem.
Um, because things are bouncing a little bit.
Uh um, but I'm I'm just
Just just in the moment dancing shaking my not tail feather the dragon dragon tail
rather um and and doing a little do a little the best kind of jig that I can do from everybody else that I've seen in my times adventuring.
That is so far out of the expected response
that I had in that moment that I am going to use my powers as a GM to say you can have extra hope in this moment.
Uh because that is insanely good.
And you notice that
As you start dancing as the only person dancing, the the music gets a little more up-tempo
And you notice that.
Yeah, crance might be good on the dance on the on the battlefield, but I'm scrape on the dance floor!
And you notice that, um
People around the tavern kind of like sit up a little taller in their seats and maybe they're not dancing because you are
I mean for in all respects of the word dominating the dance floor, the dance floor is yours.
Right.
They're getting served.
Right, yeah, exactly.
Nobody wants to step up to those streets.
Um but
You see people in their seats kinda like you see some shoulders moving.
You see you s yeah, you see some heads bobbing.
And um you actually notice because of this, or maybe you don't know it's because of this, but as a deck direct result, um
People are people are buying more drinks.
People are are looking a little more lively.
Mm-hmm.
And the place is in
If we were to kind of gauge the spirit of the tavern that you're in, people are in a little higher spirits because of your action.
When the um music comes to its flourish, because obviously the song's gotta end at some point, I will I will let out a giant roar
to kind of sort of enunciate like the ending of an amazing song.
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
Um, I'm gonna go ahead and roll
A D twenty to see how people respond to that roar of a dragonling in the center of the dance floor in attack.
I am going for an inspiring roar, not a scary roar.
We'll see how that goes based on the result of
This dice I rolled a three, so uh the
The confident three.
Yes, a con the Yes, the confident three!
The comp the confident three strikes again.
And um
That's the name.
That's the name.
It's gotta be.
That's our party name.
That's the confident three.
You don't you don't exactly know what your effect is as you end your dance and
roar but you do know that as the song ends there's an unsettling quiet quiet
Across the whole tavern.
Is there like a record scratch?
I I will be oblivious to this
And I will just kinda sort of keep my head bobbing as I go back to the table to obviously get my bowl of mead.
Yes.
Um down to my gullet
Yeah gonna ask you to get it.
So good nothing Do you have a opposable thumbs or is there like a bowl?
Like a I have I have I my claws can grab.
I have I have opposable thumbs up.
Okay.
Do they do they serve it on the table or do they serve it on the floor?
For uh quite a bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit
No, we insist we insist on the table.
They they put it on the floor, I looked at them, grabbed it without me like m moving eye contact, grabbed it.
And put it up on the table.
Okay, so basically in eye contact until they walk away.
The waiter that was like, give them the swell the swill and charge them extra.
That that waiter's not getting a tip, is what you're saying, specifically for
Unless it's the tip of the claw.
Oh.
But also, we all know where this story is going in short order, so there's probably not a lot of tipping happening.
So I guess brings us to why.
Why do we want to what's the goal?
I'd imagine maybe we either got tip that we need to do it from like some quest giver or something, or maybe that's just what the threads of fate said.
We gotta go.
The only way to get in is through a cage.
I I think
Kranz has made an awful big show of all this money on the table for a reason.
Um and he kind of lowers his head, he takes a sip uh of whatever kind of drink is available, and
Kind of stage whispers to Morelia.
I I cheated as clearly as I could.
I mean I c clearly paid off, but I'm still waiting for one of the other contestants to walk in here and demand satisfaction.
I don't see any of them here, but I I did as you said.
The door
Swings open.
And it's not a contestant from run the duels earlier.
I mean what kind of timing would that be if it was?
That doesn't make any sense.
So Um But he he's kind of he's looking around going, we may have to think of something else.
Yeah, unless somebody shows up looking for a dust up.
I mean
They still took their share from your profits.
I I I don't know
How obviously his his political rival is in jail and we're gonna get there, right
Um and and the mayor got the got the strong you know, strong grip.
He took half of your proceeds.
I y I don't think he cares if you cheat at all, as long as he gets his pay
Yeah, but we were supposed to figure out a way to get a guard madness.
And like, no, we got a bunch of different options here, but I I was hoping that one of the
I'll call them gentlemen very lightly, very loosely, you understand the term, um, that had cheated this afternoon might have shown up.
Maybe they were too upset with uh maybe all just went home.
That would be very like them.
Very like me.
They're too comfortable.
Does Morelia recognize the daemon from the the fight ring
No.
Or was it only expected to meet their eyes because maybe I wasn't actually expecting any
attention.
I think you you looked around looking for someone to that was looking at you.
And I think in any given situation you're gonna look around and you're gonna
Look for someone who's looking at you, you're eventually gonna find someone who's looking back.
And in this case, it was a pretty easy look around because
You have a friend who dropped big bags of gold on the table that made large and loud clinking sounds.
Um
The demon that was looking at you was not not one of the the people that uh Alacranz was dueling.
Uh I mean they very well may have been at the duel.
They may have witnessed it, but I mean, let's be honest, it was a a town event and
We can't name everybody who was there just to watch.
That's fair.
Um, so Almathar is going to look around the tavern and try to locate
the biggest person there besides besides obviously the the um our our
dragon compatriot, right?
Um and she's the there's more than one way to skin a cat and then she's gonna go up to that person.
I don't know who they are.
Um hopefully they're sitting at a table um surrounded by friends, right?
And she's going to go up and slap them.
As she does this, because this is clearly something that sh that she has done before, Alecrange just goes, oh fuck.
How dare you look at me in that manner?
I demand recompense immediately.
And she's she
Smacks them on the other cheek.
Okay, you hear the loud smack sound as the winged demon turns to look at you.
He's he's he's been sitting at the bar, uh kind of nursing a drink.
And as you as you smack him across the face
Like it's a very slow turn from a person who is not looking at you at all.
To a person who is now laser focused on exactly you and only you and
Let's make this a little bit fun.
Let's go ahead and roll an unarmed strike against this uh against this demon.
Okay.
Okay.
Sounds good.
I love that Almatara is like we're gonna make this happen one way or another.
I love that.
She's not gonna wait.
She's not gonna wait around for someone to walk in.
Right.
Five yeah.
A five?
How do you roll a three and then a five?
You get two dice.
What?
With what?
Five.
Three and a two.
Three and a two.
A three and a two.
Yeah.
Beer or hope though.
Yeah.
Um oh no, it's um
Yeah, it it doesn't say doesn't say.
I don't know.
Am I am I supposed to have fear or hope?
You should, yeah.
Okay.
Did you do it on on demi plane?
I did.
Or did you
And it didn't give me a fear or hold.
Is it blue or gold?
It's red.
Red is with fear.
Okay, we'll say with fear.
We'll say with fear.
Okay, so that is a five with fear.
Um you walk up
To a demon that is minding his own business and you demand satisfaction by
Uh administering a slap across his face.
In Not intended to cause harm, just I'm trying to get his attention.
Well the good news is you're not causing harm because in some strange world
The drinks that you have had while sitting with your friends have absolutely made you see more of more than one of this demon.
And you miss and you sprawl across to the demon.
Unhappy, you vile vile servant.
I'm like pretending it's his fault.
Right, right.
my fault.
Absolutely.
And he's like, What is this?
And Al Alecrans is up out of his seat.
How dare you uh how dare you touch my sister I didn't I didn't touch her
And he's like trying to be like very like for a demon he's being pretty honorable about it.
Like he's like, I I did I don't know what I don't know what she did.
I don't know.
He's halfway through his explanation and and Kranza's thinking in his head, sorry, mate, and and like he's leaping in with a right hand as as he's
As he's doing that, Arithean is going to grab a handful of gold.
Hey Joe, we're gonna need something a little bit rowdy as I throw it to the bar.
The band?
Okay.
Or the the the the fiddler in the corner or whatever is going on.
Just for we guess we need the music.
Just for the most fun for me, Erithane, can you roll your duality dyson and your agility modifier?
I want to see
how close your I wanna see how close the money you're chucking at the bard gets
Are we causing damage with the money?
We'll find out!
Depends on the dice!
Making it hail, baby!
Never make it hail!
25?
25!
Critical success.
You got a 25 and a Did you roll double?
So we've now murdered the band?
Did you roll double twelve?
Dude, I yes.
I can screenshot it real quick.
Okay, so what I would like you to picture it with a double with a double twelve crit
There is a little like uh yeah, absolutely like if you think of like a a like a jute box with the coin slot
Like think of the the bard that is playing the music at this tavern as having like that sort of situation and you throw three coins and somehow they
Form this perfect arc and they just choo choo choo all go it hits it hits his drum and it's like dum dum dum
Oh just you you start the music with the with the coins.
Absolutely.
I love that so much.
So you start the music and
As you are doing that, bum bum bum bum boom.
Uh Alecrans, I need to I need you to roll an unarmed strike.
Wait.
Let me know.
Doesn't something happen if I critical success with stuff?
You get a hope, you clear a strike.
I don't think you have any stress.
Is there anyone within once per rest when you critically succeed?
Ah, it's attack.
Never mind.
Okay.
If you would like to critically succeed on the bard, feel free.
Like we can we can have some.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
I mean you guys are trying to get arrested, so if you're trying to mess up this guy, just trying to no good jam to do.
He wants some good fighting want some good bar fight music.
Right.
He's just trying to busk, but if you want to mess him up with that crit, feel free.
No.
something in right before Alakrans punches him.
Please do.
I was actually I was gonna say as he as he leaps up from the table and does his like very dramatic thing, he looks at Morelli and is like, please tell me if someone's gonna hit me before he runs off.
So But go for it, Morelia.
Since Morelia first caught the glance from the guy looking in our general direction, right?
No idea really what he was looking at.
And following um Almatharia's little little
Scheme of oh he's looking at me.
I'm gonna use voice of dread against the daemon so I can magically speak directly into the ears of a creature.
Oh oh to be clear, that's the daemon, not the demon, right?
two different things.
Oh there's two different oh they're two different entities.
The the demon the demon that Almathara basically uh sprawled across is different than the daemon that you saw watching.
The the day the demon
Demon, I I realize those are two similar terms, so that's my mistake for choosing those.
Um, but the demon was sitting at the bar just just drinking heavily.
before a a royal essentially just sprawled across him the day.
This doesn't make but this doesn't make sense then.
I'll I'll leave it for Daphne.
You can do it to the demon if you want.
You can do it to the demon if you want.
I don't want to take away your fun.
I was gonna blame the the the daemon for looking her way, but it's a entity.
Like I do do it.
Do the demon.
Do the demon.
Do it.
Do it.
Why not?
Do it.
Do wit do wit.
Confident three.
Confident three.
Confident three.
So I use voice of dre
And speaking his mind and say, I saw you
You looking at her.
And I'm gonna make a telecast roll and then um and just make sure it's Please die.
Duality died.
Forever and always.
From your character sheet, I can see you have plus three for your self-
Yeah yeah yeah.
On a success they must marker stress and become temporarily vulnerable.
Oh
Well, how can find success?
I don't really know.
It it's against their difficulty.
Okay, so nine and a five is fourteen plus three is seventeen.
Success?
That's a success against this uh beer.
To be clear, this demon has wings, but he also has a giant like beer belly.
You can tell that like he was maybe at one time a fearsome foe, but he is definitely uh kinda lost in the sauce a bit.
So uh you said that was with fear
Yeah.
Okay.
Alright.
So uh that is it that is a success.
I'm gonna take that fear and um
You know what?
I'm gonna spend that fear immediately, and what I'm gonna say is as this happens, as a um
A fancy woman
Socialite, yes, throws herself across the lap of a demon.
Um everyone in the tavern
Shifts their focus to you.
Like where before just maybe the daemon was noticing kind of your antics
Everyone, even the gnomes that Almathara was trying to talk to and they were kind of like, I don't I don't know what they're what she's talking about because you don't speak.
Yeah, only a couple words.
Yeah.
Right.
Mostly swear words.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So at when they were just kind of like, oh yeah, she's she's she's drunk.
Now everyone is looking at this
Situation that involves Almathara across the laps of the demon
So Almathar is going to roll off the lap and then onto the table and then turn to the closest person that's sitting near the the the demon and whisper in their ear, he said your mother's a prostitute.
That she was the woman of the night!
And point at the demon.
Okay.
Absolutely.
First thing, because we've kind of avoided this.
By the way, the the demon did Marcus Tress because of your uh because of your
Uh voice of dread.
Is he vulnerable?
He is vulnerable, absolutely.
That means attack rolls on him have an advantage.
Which brings us back to Alecrans, who is coming in with a f
flying punch as his sister was rolling onto the table.
Right, essentially laying on his lap and kind of dramatically
Plailing onto the Oh dear, oh me.
How dare you accost me in this manner Okay.
So you get advantage on your unarmed strike and and
To be clear, you get you have to do an arm strike unless for some reason you're attacking in this tavern with your weapons, in which case we
we have a completely different situation on our hands.
No no no.
I I don't even think I I think Kranz would have left his gear like back.
He's like a door check
Yeah, not even a door check.
Like I think wherever they were staying, they would have stopped by uh after the day's duels
So they might have like they're probably not an armor.
They're probably they probab maybe maybe they brought like a dagger or two, nothing, but no like heavy weapons or anything, right?
Okay.
Because they're out they're out to have fun.
They're not out to fight, you know.
Krance doesn't have anything on him.
He's got a bunch of money.
He's like he's done his work for the day.
He brought n he was like, we're just gonna go drink and and and you know the idea being
The plan is like we have to go to prison, they're gonna take stuff anyway.
I'm gonna stash all my stuff in the room, so at least I know where it is when all of this resolves.
Okay.
Can I to anybody with everybody else?
Did everybody else
stash their stuff or is it with you currently?
I can stash my stuff, but I have a question about one of my item one of my primaries.
Okay
Improved hand runes my mind says it's just like drawing symbols or something, right?
In the air, it's like
Is is that something that I can take off?
Or like tat or like tattoos?
Yeah, like I feel like it's up just
A part of like her her studies at this point, but I'm gonna leave that up to you.
That's not my choice.
So if you think that is a part of your 'cause it's magical.
Yeah, if you think that's a part of like if you want to think of hand runes as when you are starting you get something tattooed on your hand and then as you level you get a further like
intricacy to the tattoo and then if you further move along further intricacies as a way of like leveling that weapon.
Like it is entirely up to you.
But what I'm saying is
You know where this story is going in approximately 20 minutes in game time.
So if you 20 minutes?
If you I don't know what your throwdown's gonna be like.
Um
If you um if you have weapons, they are either not going to be on you now or they are not going to be on you shortly.
So Right, yeah.
So I agree, yeah.
Up to you.
I leave my stuff.
Sands, the hand runes, I suppose.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
What about uh what about Almathara and Arithayan?
Almathara is, like I said, no armor.
Um she just has like a dagger strapped to her thigh, but that's it.
So basically minimal.
The classic uh Angelina Jolie.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I mean she's she's hot, like you know, she's gonna wear her weapon in a way she can be like as hot as possible
When she uses it.
Alright.
Uh Aerathayan, what are I don't know what your weapon status is.
For those that are following it home and looking at the dagger heart rules, with this Dragon Ling being a little bit of a homebrew
Um, I have improved arcane gauntlets marked, but they are obviously my claws.
Um, which is also why
Uh when we go forward in time, I am more strapped down on this cart than others because I ha I'm just naturally a weapon, or can be and a dragon lane.
Um speaking of which I have uh placed myself um in the
uh entrance doorway to block the guards from coming in.
Make it a little bit harder for them.
Strategic.
Okay, so you're you're like b blocking the I bounded.
Got it, got it, got it.
Well I mean they're the windows are the fire exit
Alright.
Okay, so.
The fire exits was coming out of his mouth.
Yeah.
I'm also going to try to protect the funky music playing bard from getting hurt.
I'm so excited about the the the fight music.
For real, like I'm no joke.
I in my head I have like a medieval version of
Um bam bam bam bam Saturday nights all right for fighting.
I'm I'm just picturing like fifth element like you know the fight scene with the opera singer and that's just kind of what's going on with the bard is just channeling that like there's epic energy.
It's a good pull.
It's a good pull.
It's a deep cut I like that.
So we've gotten very distracted, but Alecrans, you are throwing what I believe is a flying punch.
Is that correct?
Uh here is the wrench I want to throw on it.
Oh, okay uh sure.
We haven't had ten minutes of wrenches.
Sure.
Yeah, already.
We know that we're supposed to like kick up a dust up in here somehow.
Get the guards' attention.
It can't just be us, it's gotta be a full scale tavern brawl.
And so he is going to intentionally miss.
Oh, nice.
And hit s and hit somebody else.
Like hit whoever is next to this demon that Almethar has just rolled off of so that now there are like multiple parties that are all pissed.
And are ready to start brawling.
I love that.
So I because I love that that um I had advantage against the the target that
Everybody assumed I was going for.
Um and I I don't wanna I guess my question is l let me put it this way.
I think there's a moment of miscommunication between um
Morelia and Krance as he stands up and she's like, Yeah, I'll get him.
And I'm like, no, not that guy.
And he's he's attacking.
I'm gonna use my ability Reckless, which is I can mark
mark a stress to give myself advantage on an attack.
And that is abs that is fully like what describes this action.
Uh so I'm still gonna get the advantage, but it's gonna be against whoever was sitting next to
Beautiful.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh that was Cox.
And okay.
Oh, alright.
Uh that's a 17 with hope.
Okay, congrats.
Take a hope.
Your fist, like, everything that the rest of the party has seen today is evident in this
What you would describe, because you are a trained fighter, as reckless, looks like grace and it looks like
Form as you send this flying punch not at the demon that everyone expected, but past the demon
And it connects in just beautiful form.
Unfortunately.
The sweet science, baby.
The sweet science.
Unfortunately
You are also a little bit drunk, and maybe after all the duels today, a lot a bit punch drunk.
And you did not register that the person sitting next to the demon was a clank.
Full name
Absolute just a sheet of metal, and your fist connects directly with its face.
Wow.
And
I did such good damage too.
The the sound uh go ahead and give me the damage
I I got it's ten.
It's ten damage.
Okay.
You From an unarmed strategy.
You flatten this clank.
Unfortunately, it is a full metal humanoid, I guess, and
It hurts a little bit too, so why don't we have you mark a stress for that?
Not an HP, because you you have practiced on the bags, you've practiced on other uh other adversaries and things like that
But you didn't expect that you were going to just absolutely cold cock a uh a sheet metal.
A block of metal.
And um
The thing that I want to do personally for me, because I think this is funny, and I guess we will see if this withstands the test of time, is the sound of crans
Punching the metal is the sound of the bell ringing at the beginning of a a boxing match.
And suddenly
Chaos breaks loose in the tavern, and everyone is punching everyone.
and people are flipping tables and some people are running for the exits and they're blocked by a dragonling who is
uh attempting to kinda keep the the guards out and I want to know what's going on with the party in the midst of this chaos.
So Amithar is having a great time.
She's she gets up and
And she does a drunken cartwheel off the table.
Um, she's hurling terrible gnomish insults just wildly about.
And she's trying to, she's
She's basically like trying to punch anyone she can get her hands on.
So sh yeah, in time to the music, she's having she's having a great time.
This is she's living for this.
This is this she's having fun.
Okay, perfect.
Let's do uh you hurl a gnomish insult at a gnome, and you see in the chaos everything around you stop.
And you make eye contact with this man with a big beard who is like two feet tall.
Two feet tall and he looks up at you
And he's like, what'd you say?
And he said to him.
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Do it.
I said what I said and I'll say it again.
And he uh Your mom's a Your mom's a whore.
And he like throws his drink back.
And then throws the the kind of the tankard aside and it shatters off in the corner.
And he wipes his lips off and he's like, of course she is.
But that's none of your business.
And he r throws a absolute haymaker at frankly your knees.
Um because kicking the shins Right, yeah, exactly.
He's trying to kick the shin on you.
Um oh my god.
Uh okay, so that that is most likely not gonna hit
Yeah, that's a four.
So I don't think that clears your yeah, I don't think that clears your evasion.
Um so um perhaps taking a drink
Right before was a really cool move.
Looks I mean it looked really cool.
I mean But he essentially throws this punch and just stumbles underneath you and he's behind you now.
facing the opposite way.
I'm going to I'm going to reach behind me and grab him by the arms and then
And then fling him at somebody in the bar.
Okay.
Why don't we uh why don't we roll for that?
That sounds like
You know what?
That sounds like finesse.
That sounds like finesse.
You making finesse.
Okay.
So go ahead and uh roll your duality dice, add your finesse modifier
You can just kick on finesse on.
That is an 18 critical success with um with finesse, it's a 20 critical success.
Who is shame?
I legitimately think that you all are cheating.
Um, no, so that's like the fifth crit?
What is going on?
We we do be critting her.
Starting with a bang.
That's true.
Yeah, okay, so um you pick up this gnome
Um, whose name, by the way, in case you would like a little backstory on this guy.
His name is Sven.
Uh he has two children.
He has two children.
He has a he has a wife who honestly
hasn't really been that interested in him lately.
Because she does she doesn't believe that he stands up for himself.
Oh.
Future D force, Sven?
Wow.
And we are we're getting to deep lore right now.
He doesn't really believe that he uh she doesn't believe that he stood up for himself lately.
So you pick up Sven of uh Sven of not loved by his wife lately, and you chuck him
in a perfect spiral.
He's twisting by and uh I I do want to shift focus a second to Aeratheon.
Erithain, as you're watching, you see a gnome fly directly by the bard that you are sworn to protect.
And for a moment your heart stops because you think that this gnome is going to stop the music.
That you have paid money to uh underscore this moment.
And cheated cheated money, but you know.
Oh.
I I reach over to Sven, I pick him up.
Um I
I I cast healing hands on him.
So y do hold on, hold on.
So this is after he like hits the ground?
Okay.
Yeah, he's hurt.
He's hurt, but I want to keep him in the fight.
I wanna keep I Hey little guy.
And I I healing hands him.
Okay.
And I go
Here's a chair, this will this will help.
I give him a chair and then I put him that guy did it.
And then I point him to some other guy.
Okay
To just keep the fight going.
Okay.
As I'm obviously got my butt up against the door if anybody's coming knocking on the door, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm
I am marking stress to keep people in this battle going and just causing chaos.
Okay, this is this is the kind of door that swings.
So it's a slight possibility that it's gonna saloon door?
Yeah, it's like a saloon door.
Absolutely.
Yeah, okay Um, okay, so I'm gonna
I am gonna roll to see if Sven believes you that it was that guy as you called it.
Of course he's gonna believe me.
I
Healed him.
He feels better because I've touched him.
Tell me about I don't like the way you worded that, but tell me about Tell me about who you pointed to when you said it was that guy.
While I roll.
I pointed to you know what let's go ahead and I pointed to the demon that got stared down earlier.
Oh
He believes you 100%.
Yeah.
And he's now got a chair.
He's armed with a chair now.
I have basically that is my first roll at double digits, and it was a 10
So I am not doing great on my end.
Okay.
You really are Kyle.
You have Kyle Kyle energy.
Yeah.
We're getting Becky rolls.
As anyone who gets knocked out or gets close to Aerothion, I
I will and I'm gonna go ahead and mark five stresses.
What?
Okay.
To heal to heal five different people and keep them in the fight.
Okay.
Wow.
The uh the gnome Sven, as we all know him.
Um
He being tall.
As we know him.
That's really good.
It's right there.
It's right there.
Spin gets a chair.
Carl gets a gets a pan.
Bethany gets a scroll like the the that's what I'm handing out.
He's an arms dealer in this in the smart fight.
plug for this fight.
Um okay so I'm gonna go ahead and roll with Sven as he swing cocks back swings this chair at the daemon that Morelia saw earlier
Hold it ten again.
He stumbles by
Um and he actually falls on the ground next to the chair, the chair on the ground, and he's not hurt, but Sven's not getting up.
Like you start to realize
Maybe his wife was was a little bit right.
Like it it's hurtful, but maybe it maybe she was right.
You know what I mean?
No.
Get out.
Spent.
Oh my gosh.
I'd say I'd say the fourth guy, I actually do like a nonchalant point and I point
Uh uh give me give me a name.
Um Ivan Towards Krance
And as he goes away, I realize who at point does.
Oh, oops.
Okay.
That'll be interesting.
Alright.
It's fine.
It's good.
Absolutely.
Alright, so uh I want to check in uh because as far as we know right now everybody else is in a brawl.
Are you still sitting down just drinking your drink?
She's just kind of like weaving in and out between, you know, all the all the fight scenes that are happening right now, not getting involved.
She's trying to see if there's enough noise in action that could bring in garbage.
from the outside.
Okay.
And if not, she's gonna reach over within very close distance to a glass window and use a hand rune and explode it.
Cause a shattering sound.
I love the mastermind aspect of this where you're like It's like they're busy over there.
I'm like that's right, just walking through the fight
It's like punches going by your head.
Uh-huh.
Like I love that.
Oh that's I'm not gonna make you roll to shatter a window.
Like uh that's
That really couldn't be easier.
So as you like there's a punch thrown at someone else and you just kind of like duck underneath it.
And you sidestep another attack, and there's a little gnome with a chair who just kind of falls at your feet, pathetically.
Um and
You walk up to the window.
The window shatters outward.
And I think that this tavern that you're in is probably pretty accustomed to bar fights.
They're not used to this.
They're not used to this at all
Um people get thrown out the window occasionally.
Um they do they do have kind of a contract with the local glass maker in terms of replacing the windows.
And things like that, but they're not used to the window just exploding outward with this burst of magical energy.
And you sense in the
In the threads of this moment, that something is different
Something has changed because of your actions.
And
All of a sudden, Erithane, still standing at the door, you feel
The the swinging doors kind of bumping up against you as you're trying to block the door.
Sorry boy bar's closed
And you hear like, ah, you gotta let us in!
You gotta let us in!
We need to deal with this.
And uh they're there they're pushing against the the swinging doors, and it's
It's honestly facing away from it, it's a it's a tough thing to kind of keep closed because they're just gonna keep
bouncing against you and swinging back, that sort of thing.
I think i i if uh as Alec Rantz is
You know, swinging wildly just like uh anybody in range he's throwing haymakers just and he's getting hit
Like he's he's not really protecting himself.
He's throwing glasses at people.
He's like grabbing bottles and taking swigs of it.
He's just
acting insane, um, for lack of a better term.
But he's trying to like keep an eye on each of the the other confinant three.
And I think if he sees Arithane across the bar kind of perking up and like realizing something's happening, he would just yell out.
Let him in.
Okay.
Um sorry.
Let them join the fight.
I got distracted.
Sorry, sorry.
Uh
If if I look over behind me, do I see that they are guards at the moment or is it just more people than one in the bar fight?
They're they uh you look over your shoulder and it's very easily like they have the insignias, they have the armor.
They I because it's guards, they are they are starting to do sort of like a push open in sync because obviously more people at once kind of bad at the pressure.
I'm going to time that and then I'm going to step off to the side and then look.
Let them kinda sort of come in and I'm gonna trip them with my tail.
Okay.
So they're just gonna come in.
They're gonna kinda tumble into the the bar.
Okay.
Absolutely.
I'm also holding action for after the case.
I definitely I wanted to seem like I'm I'm stepping out of the way, but
My tail didn't quite make it, you know?
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
Oh so sorry.
Oh so sorry.
As you as you step step out of the way
and the guards push their way in and I think feeling the the door not swing in the way they would expect, you also have a few guards that kind of circled around that exploded window
And are climbing in through that exploded window because they're uh they're making their way in through any egress, is that the right word?
Ingress?
I don't know.
Ingress.
Ingress is exit, right?
That would make sense.
Ingress?
Through through any uh ego that no any uh ingress that they can.
Um You see everyone besides you.
Stop.
As soon as the guards are in, the fight is over
Not on Kranz's watch
Yeah Kranz Kranz jumps up on the bar looking out at uh the the patrons who have all been fighting each other points at the guards and goes
Don't let these thugs push you around.
We're here to have a good time
And takes a shot glass and chucks it at the head of the first guard he can find
And I'm I'm gonna tell me what role you want me to make it like to try to persuade everybody to start fighting again.
But I'm using I I think my experience leading man fill fits into this.
Um if you are attempting to convince people, you're gonna have to make a presence roll to convince Yeah I got a plus zero to that.
I'm pretty excited to see how that goes
It's gonna be a straight roll.
Uh do you do I but I get a plus three from this experience?
You spend a hope to use your experience.
I'll let you l use leading man for that for sure
Alright, flat roll, here we go.
Uh okay.
Oh dear.
Uh this goes about as a proper victory.
Hold on.
Can I So we're trying to route?
Rally the bar to rally against the guards.
Yes.
Can can I how can I assist in some way?
Like can I spend hope to assist that or you can absolutely spend hope to uh to to give the hell back
Essentially.
That way.
How much is three?
It it's one hope.
Unless you want to do a tag team tag team roll.
Tag team rolls are three hope
Um but I'll spend three hope.
I'll do it.
Okay.
I'll spend three hope and give you a prayer dice.
If if you if you are going to spend three if you're gonna do either one of these things, you have to tell me how you help
You can't just spend it without telling me how you help.
I need to know what you're doing to assist Allocrans.
One of my experiences is I am dragon, hear me roar.
Okay.
I like to use my presence to to it do some type of inspiration, whether it is a fear type inspiration or a
try to get something instinctually inside of creatures around me to to drive that more animalistic side of them.
And so I am
It's um highlighting Crance's speech with that punctuation of
Almost like a Charge, but it's a roar.
Okay.
So just to be clear, to do suspend three hope and make it a tag team roll, you would need to
Be rolling something as well.
Okay.
Are you looking to roll for presents?
I can do presents.
Yep.
Alright.
As as a perform or charm.
One of those two.
Okay.
Um I don't think I'm gonna use my because I'm spinning the hope for the experience so I don't I'm not adding my experience to this.
role, right?
I don't believe you can use experiences when you're doing a tag team roll.
For tag team roles, yeah, that's right.
Because you're already spending three hope at that point.
It's almost all agreeable.
Okay.
Well better than I did please
I rolled not very well.
I rolled a nineteen with hope.
Let's Yeah, we take that one.
I I'm so glad we rolled we both rolled so well.
We both rolled so well.
I mean to or before after the roll?
I would say that's the same thing.
What is the text of the paradise?
At the beginning of each session roll number um these you can use a spent dice value to reduce incoming damage at a rolls result
After the role is made or gain hope equal to the result.
Okay, so you can you can add it to your role's result after the role is made
You have a 19.
So you could put it over twenty.
Whatever it is, whatever your per paradise are.
You could put your roll over twenty.
I I will I will actually use the die that I rolled a one on and make it a twenty.
Okay.
That's a twenty with hope.
You do get a hope back.
Uh both of you I think actually get a hope on a tag team roll.
I should double check that rule, but I think you both do
Um so That's good because I rolled a seven.
Just to be clear, the intention of the roll
was not to hit the guard with a shot glass that Alec.
It's to cause mass chaos.
It's to it is to inspire to rile Yeah Rile the Bar patrons into continuing the fight against
the guards.
Yes.
So there's a moment where the guards step into the bar and the people
In this town, who have been sufficiently
Subservient to the guard, go quiet
In that silence, Alecrans picks up a shot glass, weighs it in his hand.
Kind of flips it over a few times.
Everyone in the tavern can hear
As the shot glass flips over and over in just this kind of like perfect arc
And the moment the shot glass hits the guard in the helmet
This sound is reminiscent of crans punching the clank
It's round two of the fight and everything explodes again.
I will I will eye the bard to make sure he's
About to go into round two of music.
The the Bard definitely like the Bard changes to his boss battle phase two music.
Yep.
As you as uh as this uh second round of fighting goes off and
What's the best way to do this?
I would like each of you
To roll your duality dice.
Let's make this let's make this a group action roll.
We're gonna hopefully do better than the uh than the three we started the session with.
Confident.
Let's make this the confident three we started the session with.
Um
So I want a group action role for continuing the bar fight.
You all elect a leader for this.
Uh our absolutely Aerythean.
Arithane, because the roar was what sealed it.
I think the one
Who twines fate should make sure that fate goes our way.
Well there was an action I was wanting to see
Take so this ties in pretty well to that, 'cause I have to roll either way.
Okay, so I do I do wanna say you guys have elected Morelia as the leader of this group action roll.
This is a strange
Uh oh.
Well it's a bar fight.
Dragon Ball negative one modifier, baby.
It's a bar fight.
I do want to be clear I'm not
I'm not trying to be cruel, it is a bar fight.
That seems like the most reasonable For the record, I recommended to be Earthy and it was a plus three to this.
So GM
Yes.
I'll make it up.
I can rule this separately if you're wanting a strength one and then I could do the action I was hoping to do.
Help me.
When the two guards ingressed into the window, I was gonna vicious entangle them.
With vines to hold them in place to restrain them.
Let's do it like this.
Let's do it like this then.
Yeah.
Let's remove Morelia from the group action role.
Okay.
Um and let Morelia do the
that I just from leadership.
I I will let the rest of you decide who is going to be the leader, which you know now that you know what type of role it is, is a little less fair.
But that's okay.
You can still uh you can still elect who you think would be the the best person to lead the bar fight role.
Um
I think coming off coming off the roar I I if if I hadn't thought about the whole fate thing I I would have been okay with doing it.
Okay
Okay, as long like the only reason that I was uncomfortable making Arthane the or Arathane the the leader that role is you haven't really engaged in the bar fight so far.
But if you're coming off that roar, like with a full like
I'm gassed up.
I've engaged with the with the guards.
I haven't really engaged with well, but I have been keeping the bar fight going
So you you are absolutely all I'm hearing is Aerithane is about to be aerothane is about to be a whole problem.
Yes, okay, okay, so um we had two guards uh coming through the window
That Morelia is gonna attempt to vicious entangle.
Should I do that first?
Go ahead and give me that roll.
Okay, we got
Eleven plus three is fourteen.
That's using one of my hope.
Mm-hmm.
Well at least does 13 hit?
Does that in single?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to go to the case.
This isn't the head guard to be clear.
So this is this is kind of like the
The worst guards.
Okay.
So they're just tr they're just trying to earn a living guards more than the uh the guy who really believes it.
So typically
Uh it's just uh targeting one person to restrain, but when I spend a hope I can then target another one.
So that's targeting both.
Okay.
Um and then technically I rolled damage unless I can just say that I'm not trying to inflict damage.
I'm just trying to restrain them
I'm trying to kill the guards that we need to capture us, you know what I mean?
Right, yeah, no, I I think that at this point
In your adventures you would have enough control that if you would like to say that you are attempting to entangle them but without damaging them, that's an okay thing.
Soft vines.
No thorns.
So tell me what it looks like as you are in a basically a wood-floored tavern.
There's wood walls, the window that you shattered outward has two guards climbing through.
What are we looking at as you attempt to in well, succeed in entangling
These guards.
So from the outside of the building, coming in through the window, you see vines coming through all parts of the window, right behind the guards, and it just slowly like s well quickly snakes up and around their legs.
And kind of just locks them in to the ground so they can't move.
Uh we'll say roots actually.
I'm more of a roots person.
Okay.
Yeah, I was gonna say I I didn't know if they had any flavor to them.
I just wanted to give you an opportunity to flavor them at all.
Just whatever's like around the area really, just taking whatever um naughty
strings I can from the wilderness.
Nature.
Sounds good.
Uh there are two guards climbing through the window, thinking that they were being incredibly clever, finding a way in
They can't move.
They can't move at all right now.
And now I'm gonna need the rest of the party to make their group action role to attempt to
perform well in the in the bar fight that is continuing.
You want perform or strength?
With the outcome pre strength predestinate strength.
Okay.
You were you're um performing in the
No.
It says at the beginning of each session, is each session each one of the times that we meet up, or is there a session like a is the time that we're meeting up?
Yeah.
Okay.
So use use paradise or lose it kind of thing.
Right.
Ashley, can I can I suggest something from a player side?
Above the table
We lose this.
We know we're supposed to lose it.
Yes.
Should we not have
Might not lose her Almi.
Should we have Almi be the leader here with her minus one to strength?
Well Maybe she steps up to try to lead us on
And it ends up being disastrous.
We're we're trying to inspire them to rebel against the
The overthrowing establishment at the moment.
Um
I I I guess is is the question.
Yeah, we're trying to get noticed, I think.
Yeah.
But you're right, we're not we're ultimately we don't want to win.
Right.
But we do want to be the ones that they specifically target to incarcerate.
You're right.
You're right.
So
Politically, we want to make sure we establish ourselves as the people who started the riots and the people and the people who are a threat to the current establishment.
You're right.
Go for it.
It's it's it's definitely Rethane.
I I think I think we need more than four guards.
I'm just saying.
I mean, you don't know what's gonna happen now that two guards have been restrained.
Right?
Four guards.
Right, and and well, and these next two guards are about to go out the door again.
It's an insult.
We need more.
Okay.
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, what?
We will say per your request, one of the guards
um entangled in the vines, reaches down, barely manages to pull his arm to his chest and blows a little whistle.
And that's the sound that signals that more guards are on the way.
That's it's the guard whistle.
Everybody knows about the famous guard whistle.
The famous guard whistle.
So so far they've seen Morelia acting out, they've seen Crayons acting out.
This is actually a good question.
Do they know that you entangled them?
I was I would have said I was definitely within their their view.
So I had to be a certain I had to be very close to the window to break it
To begin with.
Mm-hmm.
So I was like within five, ten feet maybe.
D do you do things when you cast Vicious and Tankle that would make it obvious you were?
Or is it like a
A silent question.
I can I can act like I am causing it, right?
I can at least like perform a little bit just like want some visibility.
We want people with us.
Okay.
Absolutely.
Maybe I don't need to, but
Okay.
I'm gonna put it in the middle.
Just wanna check.
Ready for the roll?
Get it
I have rolled a seventeen with fear
Okay.
Okay.
And I am going to spend my D4 paradise to make that a twenty-one.
Okay, 21 with fear.
I need strength rolls from the twins to see if we add or subtract
from that role based on your success.
Okay.
And so that's duality plus the strength modifier?
Yep.
Okay.
Or in your case, minus.
I can't be good at everything.
What can you?
Oh my god, I had uh critical success.
A seventeen crit sorry, fifteen critical success.
Is it our fifth one?
I don't know.
It's my s second, but I don't know about everybody.
We do be critting.
Uh I think we all did.
Yeah, I don't know.
Everyone's had a crit.
And then you guys are on the cards, that was my second crit for tonight.
Yeah.
Uh I have a twenty-one with hope.
You
All absolutely succeed in making a ruckus.
And as the guards that are pulled in
From the the call that the guards who are entangled um as as further guards kind of pour in.
There's actually you realize as the guards are coming in, there's a back door to the to the tavern as well, because
um you wouldn't have noticed it otherwise but kind of behind the bar there's another door where they would typically bring in
things like um you know when they need to refill a keg or whatever you actually see guards come in from the back door as well and
As the guards swarm in, everyone stops again and
I don't want to necessarily like s single out everyone in the bar besides you, but the guards see a gnome on the floor and they see a demon at the bar.
And they see a daemon and a bard over kind of in the in the in the stage area.
And all of these people.
Point to the four of you.
And in that moment, the performance that you have put on of this bar fight.
Is complete and the head guard walks up and arrests you all
And that brings us back.
Oh go go ahead.
Okay, so maybe the reason why I'm really restrained in this wagon is because
Maybe I didn't stop and maybe they drug me out of the bar while my claws were just digging into the
So the wood and and and then that's why I'm semi-hog tied into the wagon.
So like y what you're saying is airethane
They had to subdue me.
They had they had like five guards on me.
Aerathane started the fight as kind of the calm lookout type and ended the fight as the let me at him, let me at him.
And
Wouldn't call me.
These guys really do not know how to bar fight.
I'm really into it.
I I got inspired by Own Roar and I'm a little I'm I might be a little overzealous right now.
So we are gonna ship back.
Oh go ahead.
No no no.
I was gonna say I I think Crans one of the reasons he's so roughed up is that he did not stop either.
And he he tried to fight the guards and they mailed fists metal greaves against flesh and with no weapons.
Yeah?
Maybe overestimated his chances a little bit, got lost in the sauce.
So he's pretty you were already fighting.
You s you spent the day
Essentially setting up fights to the point that you thought people would pick fights with you, and when you realized that didn't work, you guys came up with this plan to throw a bar fight
And wasn't a plan.
I mean a plan was definitely a word that that you could use.
And we're gonna shift focus back to the cell
And in Erithan's case, kind of the chains that you were in.
And we're gonna shift focus specifically
To Morelia.
You are
In a cell and you have just had this vision.
Of yourself and these friends.
You know what?
That's not my place to call them your friends.
The the people that you've been traveling with.
Yourself and the people that you've been traveling with, consumed by fire and
Fight frankly.
It was a vision.
It's not a reality.
But you sit in a cell across from them.
You don't have to.
But as you travel
Jail.
Is there anything you'd like to say or do?
Marelia sits there in the moment after she comes back to her current situation.
She has a look of a look of um
A little bit of concern, but it's not to do with the situation she's in.
She's not concerned about all of them going to jail right now, because that's the plan.
What she doesn't understand is what this vision meant.
It's the first time she's ever seen anything like it.
Mm-hmm
Typically she has to seek it out herself.
This just happened.
Yeah.
I I wonder if sorry, I I have a question.
I wonder if
I know Cranz is not in a state to be terribly observant and uh
Arithane is is outside this, you know, in a on a different cart.
I wonder if Almithara would notice or not.
How shaken she is.
If you're not sh if you're not sure, we can roll for it.
It's up to you.
Yeah, maybe I mean th the the way she's she's definitely um
She's definitely looking around and aware, try doing like threat assessments essentially on the on the fly right now, mostly because she's concerned that her brother is injured and um that's why she's feeling kind of defensive and kind of doing that.
So she she might.
Notice just because she's being she's trying to be observant.
Okay.
If you're not sure I'm happy to r I'm happy to roll for it.
If you're not sure, let's roll.
Let's roll.
Okay.
Let's do instinct to see if you perceive that.
Okay.
Is this like a contested instinct like versus mine or are you attempting to hide your
I don't think I am trying to hide it.
I think I'm more concerned with just in my own internal thoughts than how I'm perceived right now.
Okay.
So never mind.
Okay.
Okay, so I I rolled um a fifteen with hope.
Okay.
Morelia, would you say that I'm gonna leave this to you.
Uh first of all, uh
Almathara, absolutely take a hook.
You rolled that, so that's yours.
Um Would you say that with a fifteen, that Almathara would be able to tell that you are
Feeling something unrelated to the situation at hand.
Like are can Almakara tell this?
I would say yes.
Uh, Morelia's usually pretty stoic, right?
She doesn't really show much emotion.
She just kind of is there but y you can see on her face, or maybe it's just like that distant look, not that she's like
taking in the the setting, but she looks like she's not fully there.
Okay.
Which is odd because you just got captured.
Yeah.
So what I want you to picture in terms of setting the scene
is you're in this kind of rectangle of a cell that's on wheels and you're all bumping along on kind of this uneven
Road.
We have Almathara and Alakran sitting side by side.
You have a bunch of people that you do not know in
Um I don't know what the right term would be.
Uh sackcloth, rags, like there's a bunch of people who are not necessarily well dressed
Surrounding you and across from the twins is Morelia.
And you are able to essentially
look each other in the face and Almathara, you notice something
Different about Marillia.
Walls of bars that contain you.
So Almathar is is looking across and she's going to notice
You know, something's going something something is going on, right?
And so she's going to whisper under her breath so no one else hears
Are you well?
And then like with that whisper, um Morelia could kind of like just feel kind of like a cool
brush of like of of breeze on her cheek.
So like she she she knows it's coming from um Almathara.
Like she she's like but it's directed only to her
And um no to no one else under her breath.
Uh that's when Morelia kinda snaps too and just slowly like looks sober.
at a amatharia in the eyes and uses voice of dread but not in the way that just in the way of speaking in someone's mind but not in the way to like really impact them
Just uh nonverbally.
Um give me a second to think about what it is I want to say, because I don't know yet.
Yeah.
Take your time.
We're fine.
Um yeah, so um Almathar is not necessarily expecting an explanation in in like in this setting.
She's more like
kind of just saying I notice something's going on kind of like let's put a pin in this and we can talk about this later but I want to know if you're okay in this present moment.
That's kind of like the the vibe that she's giving out
is you know, she's she's not just being protective of her her brother, but she's you know, making sure the other people in the party are okay as well.
Okay.
So
Alakrans, uh Ertheen.
Anything happening while while the uh while Morelia and um Almathar are essentially kinda like
Locked eyes from across the cell.
I think in this is just moments after he's griped about uh Arthane being asleep.
Oh
he could sleep through this.
And uh he's pretty beat up.
He's uh really feeling not only the the physical exertion of the day before but the mental exertion of
Trying to lead and not really feeling confident that he did.
Um
And so in a moment of weakness, he's gonna kind of lean into his sister's shoulder.
Um
And I imagine that whatever he's holding, he's got he he doesn't have the ability to to cool anything himself, but I have to imagine that
the the kind of stone or or whatever he's holding in his hands um to hold to the
black eye that he's got that's swelling was cooled by the magical winds that his sister uh has control of.
Um
So he he kind of leans into her f a little bit in a rare perhaps moment of tenderness between them
Erithan is so that feeling of sensation that you get when you are sitting cross
Legged and one of your legs is falling asleep.
Has happened to his right wing that they have unsurmanusly tossed him onto the wagon.
Um is his falling asleep, which is why he had nothing
other than do then to fall asleep to hopefully like let this part pass but it does help that there is a a warm sun on him as there is a there is a warm sun
sun on him as the as a light, I guess, afternoon um rain sort of wipes off a little bit of that grime from the bar fight as he's just bouncing along on the on the
On the on the trail, road, whatever we're talking about.
I'm I'm really happy that you are taking the liberty to decide that it's rainy.
I love that.
Like I legitimately as a as a GM, like
It doesn't affect me one way or another if it rains, but I love that you you added that little grace note, so thank you for that
Um which is gonna be it's fine for me.
It sucks for the people in in the in the trailer because it it it's like Florida muggy, you know?
At least I'm just kidding.
I love it.
Abs absolutely as the as the water starts to to look
cover your feet in in the the cell that you are rolling in.
Uh I would like to to shift focus back to Morelia as Almathara is
Looking at you, asking, what's happening?
Aurelia turns and looks.
back right at her and in her head says, Yes, my dear.
Everything is going according to the plan.
And as Morelia says that
The prisoner next to you, Morelia, kinda nudges you.
And he's he's very grimy and his clothes are just tatters.
And he's like, go on to plans, huh?
What do you guys plan to do about the death pits?
And that's where we're gonna end this episode
I'd like to take a minute to thank my players for this brand new cast.
We have Tidley as Almathara, Marilyn Maverick as her brother Alecrans.
Fate Walker as Erithan the Dragonling and Ballista Kitty as Morelia.
Tune in next time for even more
Of this brand new crew.
