Dungeon Master
00:00:04Perhaps.00:00:06Okay.00:00:09Would someone be so kind as to remind us where we left off?
Iva
00:00:17We just got out of the tunnel with the Haydor.
Dungeon Master
00:00:21- Sure.00:00:22You did just get out of the tunnel with the hate aura.
Iva
00:00:26As per the diagram, Casey says behind me.
Dungeon Master
00:00:37Sorry, I was going to use the recap to scarf down the last of my dinner.
Iva
00:00:42Oh, okay.
Rhysaene
00:00:42Yeah.
Temerity
00:00:42Yeah.
Rhysaene
00:00:43Yeah.
Iva
00:00:44I’ll continue on.00:00:45First, we went down further into the tunnel with the Hedorah.00:00:49At the bottom of the tunnel with the Haylero, we found a big fucking door.
Temerity
00:00:55Yeah.
Iva
00:00:55it was clearly like…00:00:58Ancient and had a funny magic symbol stuff to stop it from00:01:02We think getting in, but maybe also getting out.00:01:07Who’s to say?00:01:09Um…00:01:10We found a blown up00:01:11turn, uh, turnstone or whatever those, the Tarnar use.00:01:16Um…
Dungeon Master
00:01:16- Thanks, John.00:01:17That’s that’s correct.
Iva
00:01:18All right.00:01:19And then we also found some new eight-legged friends called the face spiders, and then we promptly killed them after they almost killed Rhys.00:01:31Uh,00:01:33And then after we killed the spiders, I’m also skipping over some stuff because, you know, it’s not important.00:01:39Um,
Dungeon Master
00:01:39Yeah.
Iva
00:01:43Uh, and, uh, and then, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, yeah.00:01:47Now we’re on our way out in that.
Dungeon Master
00:01:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Iva
00:01:49Yeah, yeah.
Temerity
00:01:50Hi, hi.
Dungeon Master
00:01:52um,00:01:53you did in fact start00:01:57Start off where we’re starting off.00:02:00Today, you all had finally completed the survey00:02:05of the assigned Underforge vaults00:02:09reemerged in the city of Argentum to find the streets dim,00:02:13not lit with the usual oil lamps and, and,00:02:16not lit with the Everfire lanterns, they’ve all been shut off for the evening
Iva
00:02:19Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:02:21Instead, the streets are just aligned with little pale wax candles.00:02:26in every imaginable shape and size00:02:30um,00:02:31Those of you familiar were able to quickly point out that it, uh,00:02:35slipped your…00:02:37Your mind’s down in the tunnels, but today is the Vigil of Remembrance, one of the…00:02:43Annual holidays that sits between two months.00:02:46that fill out Argentum’s calendar.00:02:50The Vigil of Remembrance specifically being the one dedicated to remembering those who have died.00:02:56um,00:02:57to allow Argentum to continue to flourish00:03:01um,00:03:01The fresh, cool winter air hitting your lungs is a…00:03:06Imagine00:03:07I imagine, a great relief versus the stale…00:03:11dusty, stagnant air of the vaults00:03:14Mm-hmm.00:03:15And you all00:03:17We’re about to do something.00:03:19There was discussion of00:03:21maybe finding a place to get a drink or going home and taking baths, but00:03:26That is where you left off.
Temerity
00:03:32Yes.00:03:34uh,00:03:39Temerity Roddy: merity had also made a point.00:03:43to00:03:47Kind of as like an aside…00:03:49Hazel mentioned that they should talk00:03:51Uh…00:03:54But if we’re going to get drinks, then that would happen after.
Iva
00:04:03uh,00:04:04I have a, uh, taps on, uh…00:04:08versus shoulder.00:04:14uh,00:04:15I would go…00:04:16Should I go check the dead drops I left?
Rhysaene
00:04:22- Yeah.00:04:25I just had a day.00:04:29Oh,00:04:32Mm-hmm.00:04:33Yeah.00:04:36Is that for you?00:04:38Um,00:04:40I don’t really mind right now.00:04:43Fuck.00:04:44- Um,00:04:46She like,00:04:48She shakes a hedge.00:04:50look down at Iva, like…00:04:55Why don’t we try tomorrow?
Iva
00:04:57Iva nods and goes, I’m just wanting to know, you know, because like, well, if I’m not like, you know,00:05:03If I don’t respond to them, they might get upset.00:05:06But also, if I don’t respond to them, maybe I won’t have to do their work.
Rhysaene
00:05:10That’s00:05:12True.00:05:15I wouldn’t know how to get involved with them folks.00:05:24Why don’t you…00:05:27Before you go off doing that,00:05:30Why don’t you let the group know?
Iva
00:05:32Iva nods and goes,
Rhysaene
00:05:32Just in case.
Iva
00:05:34Well, I know you were upset because I was doing that stuff in your house.00:05:38before I knew it was a rule.
Rhysaene
00:05:40Uh-huh.
Iva
00:05:41So I wanted to double check with you, but I’ll ask the group.
Temerity
00:05:45Bye.00:05:46- Bye.
Rhysaene
00:05:46Yeah.00:05:49Uh-huh.
Temerity
00:05:51- Yeah.
Iva
00:05:51Rhys looks at the group and goes, hey…00:05:53Should I go check on my notes that I get from those guys?
Dungeon Master
00:05:57Thank you.
Temerity
00:05:58laughs
Rhysaene
00:06:02There’s just,00:06:03You’re just doing that out in the street.00:06:05Okay.00:06:05Okay.
Temerity
00:06:06laughter
Iva
00:06:08Well, that’s why I was being, you know…
Temerity
00:06:10I have a…00:06:11laughs
Hazel
00:06:13It’s your funeral.
Temerity
00:06:15laughs00:06:19- Oh man.00:06:20The Temerity just kind of like…00:06:22looks puzzled for a second and then like eyes widen a bit as like00:06:27they recognize what I was talking about.00:06:30I don’t think you should be talking about that.00:06:33publicly.
Iva
00:06:35You know, but like I need to know.
Temerity
00:06:36But I think you should try to disassociate from them if you can.
Iva
00:06:45All right.
Dungeon Master
00:06:45Temerity’s advice for the day, leave the mafia on red, Iva.
Iva
00:06:49Yeah.00:06:50I mean,
Temerity
00:06:50Yeah.
Rhysaene
00:06:51- -
Iva
00:06:52What if they get, like, angry?
Temerity
00:06:55Do they know where you live?
Iva
00:06:57No, but they do know what I am.
Temerity
00:07:05I can’t talk about that.00:07:06I can’t talk about that.
Iva
00:07:07Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:07:20And.
Rhysaene
00:07:20Shall we get one?
Temerity
00:07:22Yes, please.
Iva
00:07:22- He he he.
Rhysaene
00:07:24Okay.
Temerity
00:07:28All right.00:07:29Um…00:07:32We were going to head…00:07:33I forget which bar we were going to head to.
Dungeon Master
00:07:37You had not talked about it.
Temerity
00:07:38Yes, that’s right.00:07:44Well…
Hazel
00:07:45Does anyone want to talk about things that are definitely illegal or…00:07:49Is it okay for us to go to the dancing sword?
Temerity
00:07:52That’s a good question.
Iva
00:07:55I’ve already asked my questions that are
Hazel
00:07:55Because frankly, if I
Iva
00:07:57questionable.
Hazel
00:08:01All right.
Rhysaene
00:08:01Out in the bank street.
Temerity
00:08:04Yeah.
Iva
00:08:04And he goes, well, no one knows what I’m not talking about.
Temerity
00:08:08laughter
Rhysaene
00:08:08Thank you.
Hazel
00:08:10Blame Hobie.00:08:11laughs
Temerity
00:08:13Flame hoping indeed.
Hazel
00:08:13Did I say that right, Temerity?
Temerity
00:08:15Yeah, you did.00:08:16laughs
Dungeon Master
00:08:17As you guys kind of walk down the streets late evening of the Lantern Ward, you see…00:08:23a much cooler light kind of flicker00:08:26ahead of you.00:08:27All the candles obviously are natural, normal candles burning with the warm kind of00:08:33like pale yellow candlelight. So the like cold silver white light of two, uh, order of the00:08:39lantern lanterns jingling in the distance is very noticeable to you all.
Hazel
00:08:45Oh, they don’t turn those things off too?
Dungeon Master
00:08:48They cannot.
Hazel
00:08:49Yeah.00:08:52I was saying that in character, but yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:08:53Oh, sorry.
Temerity
00:08:54Hehehehehehe.
Iva
00:08:55Thank you.
Hazel
00:08:56that hit.
Temerity
00:08:57No, they can’t.00:08:58laughs
Luma
00:08:59I don’t have switches.00:09:03I checked.
Hazel
00:09:05Yeah.
Temerity
00:09:05Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe00:09:10Um,00:09:14Hazel, you’re going to go in the hat.00:09:15Right, to cross the bridge.
Hazel
00:09:18Oh, they don’t check on the way back.
Temerity
00:09:21Hmm.
Hazel
00:09:22I thought we had established that.
Dungeon Master
00:09:24We had not established that, in fact.
Hazel
00:09:24Western.
Dungeon Master
00:09:26That’s never come up.
Hazel
00:09:26Oh.
Dungeon Master
00:09:28However, for the most part, you’re correct.00:09:30They don’t bother checking on the way back.00:09:32However, they technically can.00:09:33But you’ve never seen them do it.
Hazel
00:09:3410.
Temerity
00:09:36And they do it this time.
Dungeon Master
00:09:37Um,
Hazel
00:09:37Well,
Iva
00:09:39Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:09:39Yeah, I’m trying to trap you into making a mistake.
Hazel
00:09:40Get out of here.00:09:41Yeah.00:09:43That would be such an insane way to start the session.00:09:46Uh, nah, yeah.
Temerity
00:09:46Uh-huh.
Rhysaene
00:09:47Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:09:47No, they literally the only person who’s ever seen them do it ever is probably Iva.
Hazel
00:09:48Thanks.
Dungeon Master
00:09:52And it was probably something that happened one time.
Iva
00:09:56Probably looking for someone specific.
Dungeon Master
00:09:59And there was probably a specific manhunt going on at the time.
Temerity
00:10:04Yeah.
Hazel
00:10:05Well,
Luma
00:10:05Oh man, there’s no way that there’s a manhunt going on right now.
Dungeon Master
00:10:06They were.00:10:08They would have been doing it.
Temerity
00:10:09Thank you.
Luma
00:10:09Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:10:10Not that you guys ever went into the Lantern Awards while it was going on.00:10:15They would have been doing it while they were hunting Miles Quickstep.00:10:18but would have stopped once he was apprehended.
Hazel
00:10:23um,00:10:24Yeah, no, I mean,00:10:25I’m getting big.
Luma
00:10:28put in a bag.
Hazel
00:10:29- Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:10:29Hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Iva
00:10:31put the hazel in the bag.
Luma
00:10:35Is she going in the bag or is she going under the hat?
Hazel
00:10:38All right.00:10:39ahead.
Luma
00:10:40Okay.
Temerity
00:10:41Hee hee.
Luma
00:10:41That’s fine.00:10:42That’s just…00:10:44Two very different experiences, depending on which one you choose.
Temerity
00:10:44- Yeah.
Hazel
00:10:45Yeah.
Iva
00:10:46Thank you.
Temerity
00:10:47laughs
Dungeon Master
00:10:47If you go in the bag, you might be the bag man.
Luma
00:10:47giggle
Hazel
00:10:48Go.
Rhysaene
00:10:48Thank you.
Luma
00:10:50Yeah.
Hazel
00:10:50Hey.
Temerity
00:10:50Yeah.
Luma
00:10:52Much more dangerously is the amount of fucking shrapnel currently in the bag.
Hazel
00:10:57Hehe.
Temerity
00:10:58Hehehehe.
Hazel
00:10:59Go-Go Gadget.00:11:00weasel.
Luma
00:11:01uh,00:11:02- Yeah.
Temerity
00:11:02Hehehehe.
Iva
00:11:02Luma jiggles the bag a little and Hazel comes out looking like a Vietnam vet.
Hazel
00:11:03Excuse me for me.
Temerity
00:11:08- Yeah.
Hazel
00:11:08- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:11:09So where are you guys heading?
Luma
00:11:12Six sword.
Temerity
00:11:14Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:11:14You had
Rhysaene
00:11:14Hmm.
Iva
00:11:15because we don’t plan on discussing crimes.
Dungeon Master
00:11:18Well,00:11:19There’s a small thorn in that.00:11:22particular goal. You head north and you cross the bridge. Your papers are not checked.00:11:28As you leave and you head back into the Hearth Wall district, the dancing sword is right across the00:11:36The bridge.00:11:37Uh.00:11:38Where are you all?
Temerity
00:11:47Those for the festival.00:11:49Rip.
Dungeon Master
00:11:50Huh?
Temerity
00:11:51I was just being silly. I was like closed for the festival, ripped.
Dungeon Master
00:11:55No.00:11:56The Vigil of Remembrance, they are open, although they’re…00:12:00patronage is a little lower than usual.00:12:02The Vigil of Remembrance is the only one of Argentum’s holidays that is not accompanied by like a big exuberant festival.
Temerity
00:12:11Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:12:11it is a more like quiet and reflective thing.00:12:14So most people are at home,00:12:16but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people who are like out00:12:19It’s not taboo to be out, it’s just less common.00:12:24Um,
Temerity
00:12:24Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:12:24There’s one minor hitch,00:12:27in the crime-free plan.00:12:30Iva, you are aware that one of your three dead drops00:12:33is very near here.00:12:35like a street over almost.
Iva
00:12:37Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:12:44But you guys are able to cross the bridge and head to the dancing sword, no problem.
Temerity
00:12:49Bleep, bleep, bleep.00:12:50Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
00:12:52I lost somebody.
Temerity
00:12:53It was me. I moved Temerity up towards the Dancing Sword.
Dungeon Master
00:12:58Wow.00:13:11You head in. There’s a couple tables with people at them talking quietly.00:13:15There are no performers tonight.00:13:18um,00:13:19the…00:13:21the usual, like,00:13:24person in charge of like the bar and the restaurant is behind the bar.00:13:29plushing00:13:30drinking glasses as you walk in.
Temerity
00:13:36All right.00:13:38Uh,00:13:39Well,00:13:40Get a table.00:13:43Temerity clears space for wrists.
Rhysaene
00:13:47Thank you.
Temerity
00:13:49Mm-hmm.00:13:49course.00:13:53Arc.00:13:55And we’ll gather everyone’s order to…00:13:59to00:14:00place it with00:14:01with the00:14:02with the bartender.
Dungeon Master
00:14:07Yeah, you’re able to do that no problem.00:14:11um,00:14:12She says that she’ll have your food out as soon as it’s ready.
Temerity
00:14:17Yeah.00:14:18He he he he.00:14:20All right.00:14:24Oh.00:14:26So that was…00:14:28That was the last of the job, right, Luma?
Luma
00:14:32Yeah.00:14:32Uh, well,00:14:33That’s the last of the part that I need you for.00:14:39Now I get to set in a desk for00:14:41Several hours.00:14:43Brian Smith: dying.00:14:45the maps and writing a report and putting all the details about all the things that we found00:14:50and leaving nothing out.
Temerity
00:14:53Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.
Iva
00:14:54Yeah.
Temerity
00:14:57Temerity nods, understanding…00:15:01Hopefully what that means to Luma.
Rhysaene
00:15:04Thank you.
Temerity
00:15:05But Temerity, he has faith.
Luma

Rhysaene
00:15:12- Yeah.
Luma
00:15:14No, no, no.00:15:15Uh, yeah, she’s, she, uh, she looks very excited to be doing what sounds like an incredibly boring job.
Temerity
00:15:22Hehehehe.
Rhysaene
00:15:24Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:15:26That’s good at least that Luma’s excited.
Luma
00:15:29-
Rhysaene
00:15:29Yeah.00:15:31I was going to say Rhys is looking at Luma as if to be…
Temerity
00:15:31Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
00:15:36inquisitive about like00:15:39What, like, if Luma is actually, like, interested in her job or, like, if she’s actually happy about this, but that.
Luma
00:15:44I’m going to hear you.
Rhysaene
00:15:47and confirms it for her.
Luma
00:15:48Yeah, it’s gonna be really hard to tell because of the inflection of my voice because everything fucking hurts right now. But yeah, Luma is genuinely excited about what she’s talking about.
Temerity
00:15:53Yeah.
Rhysaene
00:15:53- Yeah.
Temerity
00:15:56Hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Rhysaene

Temerity
00:16:01It gives Temerity a big old smile.
Luma
00:16:04No.00:16:04- Excuse me.
Temerity
00:16:06Oh.00:16:07No worries.
Luma

Luma
00:16:43Yeah, you ate the bread, you’re not going anywhere, sorry.
Temerity
00:16:45laughs00:16:50It gives Temerity a little chuckle.
Rhysaene

00:18:58Temerity neem raises like an eyebrow00:19:00It’s like…00:19:03Like.
Rhysaene
00:19:06Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:19:07Centaurs?
Rhysaene
00:19:08Black.00:19:09No, no, like,00:19:12She does like a gesture.00:19:13Like, as if to be like, ooh, spooky magic.
Temerity
00:19:16Oh.00:19:18Well, yeah, but…
Hazel
00:19:20laughs
Temerity
00:19:21I’m going to keep that to myself.
Hazel
00:19:22Yeah, man.
Temerity
00:19:23And like the lady just like takes a sip of their water.
Hazel
00:19:23laughs
Rhysaene
00:19:26- Thank you.
Temerity
00:19:27laughs
Hazel
00:19:29And he’s just like, yeah, no, duh.
Temerity
00:19:31The radio is going to be like, yeah, but nobody does.
Hazel
00:19:32filming edge.
Temerity
00:19:36But this thing is not the same.
Rhysaene
00:19:36Huh?00:19:40Um,
Temerity
00:19:41laughs
Rhysaene
00:19:44I
Temerity
00:19:46laughs
Rhysaene
00:19:49Thank you.
Temerity
00:19:49No.
Rhysaene
00:19:50Yeah, duh. Nobody loves you fucking people.
Temerity
00:19:51-00:19:54it’s pretty recognized how that would come across it was like i’m gonna bite my tongue
Dungeon Master
00:19:59Yeah.
Hazel
00:20:02Good.
Rhysaene
00:20:02Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:20:03Mm-hmm.00:20:04Oh,
Rhysaene
00:20:04There’s like a…00:20:08There’s like a smile that Rhys gives to Temerity in like the same way like a parent is like looking at their child when they’ve done something incredibly fucking wrong.00:20:19Um,00:20:21But like, it’s like a smile of like, oh, I’m going to get beat when I go.
Temerity
00:20:26laughs
Rhysaene
00:20:28Um, but she gives that and is like, um,00:20:37Well, I guess you’ll find out what you’re doing in training tomorrow.
Temerity
00:20:41Yeah.00:20:44I’m excited. I hope.00:20:45Uh…00:20:46Mm-hmm.00:20:48I hope.00:20:50That.00:20:51my duties end up including more sorrowsworn than anything else.
Iva
00:21:00Thank you.
Temerity
00:21:01Fingers crossed.
Luma
00:21:06And you fight one Sorrowsworn and you think you can take them all on, that’s…00:21:09bold.
Temerity
00:21:11does Luma say that
Luma
00:21:15Yay.00:21:16Under your breath.
Temerity
00:21:16Hehehe.
Luma
00:21:17Very quietly.00:21:18She doesn’t look happy about it.
Temerity
00:21:18Hehehehe.00:21:20laughs
Hazel
00:21:23May they turn you into the finest weapon in the land.
Temerity
00:21:27laughs
Hazel
00:21:28May your execution of Sorrowsworn be swift and prove a letter.
Luma
00:21:35Oh, which letters?
Temerity
00:21:35work.00:21:39A through Z.
Luma
00:21:42That’s all of them.
Temerity
00:21:45Exactly. Can’t leave one out.
Luma
00:21:47Well, the00:21:48- You gotta pick one, it’s important.
Hazel
00:21:50Mm-mm.
Temerity
00:21:51Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:21:52As an expert in
Temerity
00:21:52Heifer to Temerity.
Dungeon Master
00:21:53T for Temerity.00:21:56As an expert in linguistics, Luma knows that is not all of them.
Luma
00:22:01Yeah.
Temerity
00:22:01Oh.
Luma
00:22:01Well, in common.
Temerity
00:22:03I’ll see you next time.
Dungeon Master
00:22:03Yeah, and call them and,
Luma
00:22:04Thank you.
Temerity
00:22:05laughs
Hazel
00:22:05I was trying to figure out the meaning.00:22:07Like, I know what to the letter means, but I was trying to figure out, like, is it a saying?00:22:11Is it an idiom?00:22:12Whatever.00:22:13So I look up to the letter and this is what Google gave me. Sorry, this is completely like00:22:20off topic, but
Temerity
00:22:23-
Rhysaene
00:22:24- Yeah.
Temerity
00:22:25- Right.
Hazel
00:22:25Thanks.
Temerity
00:22:25rules or 15392.
Hazel
00:22:28I remember when this thing used to work.
Luma
00:22:31with.
Temerity
00:22:31laughs
Luma
00:22:31- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:22:33Wait.00:22:34I haven’t seen it break like that in a while.00:22:36That’s impressive.
Luma
00:22:36Yeah, that’s.00:22:37Yeah, that’s new.
Temerity
00:22:37you
Rhysaene
00:22:38Yes.
Temerity
00:22:39That’s crazy.00:22:44laughter
Rhysaene
00:22:46the future.
Luma
00:22:48Yeah, to the letter is just like you follow the instructions to exactly how it’s written, not the intent of the word.00:22:54It’s like raw versus rye.
Temerity
00:22:57Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:22:58up.00:23:00say.
Luma
00:23:01Ironically, it’s typically used to effectively say that you’re going to follow the rules, but not in the way that you want the rules to be followed. It’s like, I’ll follow them to the letter. And that’s, that’s it.
Temerity
00:23:10-00:23:13Hehehehe.00:23:16uh,
Hazel
00:23:19Hazel meant it more as I can’t wait for you to become a monster hunter who00:23:26gets barked around.
Temerity
00:23:28laughs
Dungeon Master
00:23:28dog of the military.
Luma
00:23:30hog of the military.
Hazel
00:23:31Pretty much.00:23:32But.
Temerity
00:23:32laughs
Hazel
00:23:35Not trying to use those words.
Temerity
00:23:36Temerity, he took it as…00:23:39Took it much more complimentary than that.
Hazel
00:23:43Oh yeah, no, Hazel did not mean a very complimentary.
Luma
00:23:45I love that Temerity takes things so complimentary that are clearly not.
Temerity
00:23:46Ciao.
Hazel
00:23:46She thinks.
Temerity
00:23:48laughs00:23:50It’s a very new…
Luma
00:23:50- Yeah.
Hazel
00:23:50She thinks it’s cool.
Temerity
00:23:52Yeah.
Hazel
00:23:52Like, you know, but she doesn’t, I don’t know.
Temerity
00:23:55Um,
Luma
00:23:56So good.
Temerity
00:23:58Thank you.
Hazel
00:23:58It’s like,00:23:59Glad you’re following your dreams.00:24:02You could do that without the help of the dragoons. Who are they even?
Temerity
00:24:06Hee hee hee.
Iva
00:24:06What is a Dragoon, honestly?
Temerity
00:24:09Awesome.00:24:10They do look really fucking cool.
Iva
00:24:12Now, I’ve witnessed that.
Hazel
00:24:13you
Luma
00:24:13- Yeah.
Hazel
00:24:14you00:24:14dragged into the aesthetics.
Temerity
00:24:16Yeah.
Iva
00:24:18I was too busy.
Luma
00:24:19A couple.
Iva
00:24:20Staring at the door.
Luma
00:24:22They’re common enough for the general public to know what a Dragoon is, right?
Dungeon Master
00:24:26kind of00:24:28Um,00:24:29If you live in Argentum, you’ve heard of the Dragoons.00:24:32You know they are an arm of the Order of the Lantern…00:24:35specifically dedicated to fighting the sorrow.00:24:39Um,00:24:40and00:24:41What exactly that means?00:24:43No, that is not public knowledge.00:24:44Temerity has operated under the assumption that it means fighting Sorrowsworn specifically,00:24:49which I think is probably the most common assumption is like…00:24:53Yeah, like a lantern purifier could fight a Sorrowsworn.00:24:58Um,00:24:59But like a dragoon is…00:25:01the best weapon against that kind of thing.00:25:04But that’s all assumption.00:25:07The only things that are known00:25:09are that they are elite, specially chosen,00:25:12And it is fairly commonly known00:25:16that they don’t,00:25:17they don’t receive the blessing of the silver flame.00:25:20This is like the distinguishing factor.00:25:22They received something else called the blessing of Bahamut.
Luma
00:25:26So,00:25:27To clarify, Sorrowsworn come from outside of the Vale.00:25:31which means that Temerity is joining Fantasy Ice
Iva
00:25:35Yes.
Temerity
00:25:35laughter00:25:39No, we’ve cut back full circle.
Luma
00:25:41Yeah.
Temerity
00:25:41We’ve gone 14 sessions.
Luma
00:25:42Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:25:43that we have
Rhysaene
00:25:43So…
Iva
00:25:43and we’re right back where I had us started.
Luma
00:25:44I’m just going to bring that one back.
Temerity
00:25:45We’ve gone…00:25:46Or…
Dungeon Master
00:25:46Thank you.
Luma
00:25:46Yeah.
Temerity
00:25:47I wish it.
Luma
00:25:47From the jury.
Temerity
00:25:47Thank you.
Hazel
00:25:48Monster hunters. They’re monster hunters. They’re monster hunters. We don’t have an allegory.
Luma
00:25:50Yes.00:25:50I’m sorry.
Temerity
00:25:51That’s runners.
Iva
00:25:52- -
Luma
00:25:53you
Dungeon Master
00:25:53Yeah, no.
Temerity
00:25:54Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:25:54For sure.00:25:56As far as anyone knows, they’re…00:25:58that the censors of the Order of the Lantern are the guys who hunt mages.00:26:03And there’s no public like, yeah, and also the Dragoons do that.00:26:08- Yeah.00:26:09No one really knows what they do or why they exist when the Order of the Lantern has the Inquisition and has purifiers who fight Sorrowsworn.00:26:18But it’s not… No one’s like, yeah, they hunt mages. That’s not…
Luma
00:26:23I can’t wait to find out that actually your entire job is to keep Bahamut dead.
Hazel
00:26:28Mmm.
Temerity
00:26:29Groan
Hazel
00:26:30I would have…
Temerity
00:26:31Ho ho ho ho!00:26:31laughs
Luma
00:26:32Yeah.
Hazel
00:26:32I would imagine that like,00:26:34dragoons don’t really fight mages because most of the time i would imagine like a mage is like00:26:38some person who like showed magical aptitude and they immediately like00:26:42you know, they were immediately reported by their neighbor or something.00:26:46But like if a lich or something was was chilling around somewhere, then they would be like, OK, I’m.
Luma
00:26:46Bye.
Dungeon Master
00:26:47So,
Hazel
00:26:52We got to bring out the monster hunters for these monsters.
Dungeon Master
00:26:55- True.
Luma
00:26:56Heh heh heh.
Dungeon Master
00:26:56it,00:26:57It is pretty reasonable to say like just based on vibes,00:27:01Yeah, you call out a purifier to kill a Sorrowsworn.00:27:05A Dragoon for sure could do it.00:27:07That is overkill.00:27:08Yeah.00:27:09You would call on the dragoons if there was a lich, if there was a dragon, but that hasn’t happened in the history of Argentum as far as anyone knows.00:27:19If there was like an actual like devil.00:27:22you’d probably call a dragoon for that kind of stuff.00:27:26Just by00:27:27Not because it’s like necessarily their mandate, but because they’re the guys you know who can handle it.
Iva
00:27:32Thank you.
Temerity
00:27:34Mm-hmm.
Hazel
00:27:35They call themselves the Silver Dragon Bannerettes.
Iva
00:27:35Thank you.
Rhysaene
00:27:38I’m going to go.
Dungeon Master
00:27:38I’m sorry.
Temerity
00:27:38Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.
Iva
00:27:38Yeah.
Luma
00:27:40Have the class change if you join them.
Hazel
00:27:42Thank you.
Temerity
00:27:42Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:27:42Yeah, true. You get forcibly respected to the bannerette class.
Luma
00:27:43Thank you.
Hazel
00:27:46into the worst class in the game.
Temerity
00:27:46No! Shit! The debuff! No!
Rhysaene
00:27:47- Yeah.
Iva
00:27:48It’s so good. It’s so good.
Luma
00:27:52Elite unit? No, no, no, no. They’re just on hard mode.
Iva
00:27:52It was, I was…
Rhysaene
00:27:53Oh,
Temerity
00:27:53- Perfect.
Hazel
00:27:55It’s really good.
Rhysaene
00:27:55I will…
Temerity
00:27:55Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:27:55It’s super.
Rhysaene
00:27:57I will say as well.00:27:59when Rhys is talking about00:28:02the dragoons, she does have her hand over her heart.
Temerity
00:28:07Oh.
Luma
00:28:08Oh, don’t draw the sword.
Temerity
00:28:10I don’t know.
Hazel
00:28:10Yeah, if there was something with a fiendish influence, perhaps.
Dungeon Master
00:28:10this.
Rhysaene
00:28:11No, I’m not going to.
Luma
00:28:12Yeah.
Temerity
00:28:13Yeah.
Iva
00:28:13you
Temerity
00:28:16Temerity hasn’t00:28:17fully piece that together, not00:28:20Fully.
Hazel
00:28:21Oh yeah, Hazel.
Rhysaene
00:28:21Mm-hmm.
Hazel
00:28:22The dark.00:28:26uh,
Iva
00:28:26Cat, would your groom hunt changelings?
Dungeon Master
00:28:29No, that would…00:28:32That would fall to the order of the lantern unless the changeling proved to be like an existential threat to Argentum.00:28:40They probably wouldn’t think they’d like someone who could shapeshift is a problem, but that’s a problem.00:28:45The Inquisition is specifically trained to deal with, which is people using magical disguises.
Luma
00:28:51Luckily, Iva is only an existential threat to herself.
Iva
00:28:51What about it?00:28:53Yeah.
Rhysaene
00:28:54Thank you.
Iva
00:28:54I was like, what if I’m an exocentral
Temerity
00:28:54Yeah.
Iva
00:28:56a threat to like only four people.00:28:59I’ll see you next time.
Luma
00:28:59Yeah.
Temerity
00:28:59- Hehehehe.
Luma
00:29:00Well, we’re going to get a Dragoon, so we’ll have to marry you and shoot out.
Hazel
00:29:00in the loop.
Temerity
00:29:02Thank you.
Iva
00:29:03laughter
Temerity
00:29:03laughing
Luma
00:29:04Yeah.
Rhysaene
00:29:04Yeah.
Luma
00:29:06Yeah.
Hazel
00:29:10I’ll put you in the ground myself.
Luma
00:29:12Yeah.
Temerity
00:29:13Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
00:29:15Um,00:29:18Yeah.00:29:20I believe tomorrow.
Dungeon Master
00:29:20Hold on. I’m,
Hazel

Temerity
00:29:25Oh, yeah.
Dungeon Master

Hazel
00:29:27No, you’re good.00:29:28I’d00:29:29It’ll just send that tomorrow. Tomorrow she has her interview.
Luma
00:29:33I hope that goes really good for you.
Temerity
00:29:33Oh, yeah.00:29:35Me too.00:29:36Good luck with that, Hazel.
Hazel
00:29:36Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
00:29:37You’ll do fun.
Hazel
00:29:40Mm-hmm.
Luma
00:29:40- Interviews are scary, I don’t like doing them.
Hazel
00:29:40Oh.00:29:43course I’ll be. I am.
Temerity
00:29:48Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Hazel
00:29:48and00:29:48I have nothing to…
Temerity
00:29:49Bye.
Hazel
00:29:50I have nothing to worry about.00:29:53I risk my life every day.00:29:56interview doesn’t mean anything.
Temerity
00:29:58They pose no mortal threat to me.
Luma
00:30:01-
Rhysaene
00:30:06Oh, have you picked out your clothes?
Hazel
00:30:11Uh, yeah, um, Luma made me some clothes, so I was gonna wear those.
Temerity
00:30:17Oh.
Rhysaene
00:30:17How about you, Luma?
Luma
00:30:21A.00:30:22I drew them.
Temerity
00:30:26Hehehehehehehehe!
Rhysaene
00:30:30That is so handy.
Luma
00:30:32It is really useful.00:30:35Turns out if I spend a long time, they have a compartment.
Temerity
00:30:39Oh.00:30:41Oh.
Luma
00:30:41I think.
Hazel
00:30:43That little squint.
Luma
00:30:43Pretty sure.
Dungeon Master
00:30:44Thank you.
Luma
00:30:45Thank you.00:30:46- Yeah.
Hazel
00:30:47Oh.00:30:48I hope so.
Temerity
00:30:50They disappear in the middle of the internet.00:30:55That’s suck ass.
Rhysaene
00:30:57Yeah.
Luma
00:30:59Yeah.00:31:01No, no, no, no, they’re permanent. They’re permanent. It’s fine.
Temerity
00:31:01actual nightmare. I went to an interview and then I was just in my underwear all of a sudden. Oh no!
Luma
00:31:11Yeah.
Hazel
00:31:11she would have to
Iva
00:31:11There’s no…
Hazel
00:31:13kill everyone in that
Iva
00:31:13There’s…
Luma
00:31:14It’s just…
Hazel
00:31:15in that restaurant that I saw her.
Iva
00:31:16There’s no way…
Temerity
00:31:17I’m sorry.
Iva
00:31:18Hazel Wind.
Luma
00:31:19Oh.
Hazel
00:31:21Hazel absolutely wears underwear.
Temerity
00:31:21Hehe.
Dungeon Master
00:31:21Thank you.
Hazel
00:31:23Excuse me.
Temerity
00:31:24laughs
Iva
00:31:25Yeah.
Temerity
00:31:27Bruce.
Hazel
00:31:28That’s a sanitary thing. That’s not…
Temerity
00:31:31Hehehehe.00:31:33laughs
Luma
00:31:36Luma’s drawings typically only last than hours,00:31:38so those are definitely permanent.
Hazel
00:31:40Yeah.
Temerity
00:31:40Oh, yeah.
Hazel
00:31:42She looks in her bag and is just completely fucked up.
Luma
00:31:44It’s just gone.00:31:45It’s just ink.
Hazel
00:31:45eight.
Rhysaene
00:31:45Mm-hmm.
Temerity
00:31:45Yeah.00:31:46Just, oh.
Luma
00:31:49Oh, the good news is it lasts longer than I thought.00:31:51Bad news is not longer than I hoped.
Hazel
00:31:52- Yeah.
Temerity
00:31:54laughter
Hazel
00:31:54Ha ha.
Luma
00:31:55- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:31:59Your drinks are brought first and then later your meals are brought.00:32:05The dancing sword is…00:32:08Nice. And your food is all correct and whatever it is you ordered. It’s going to cost you each like five silver for the meal and the drinks unless you want something exuberant or like are specifically penny pinching.
Hazel
00:32:21Five silvers.00:32:23Can I bring that down to two?00:32:24Because I only have two editors.
Dungeon Master
00:32:27Sure.
Rhysaene
00:32:27I got money.
Dungeon Master
00:32:27you can move.
Iva
00:32:29Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:32:30Thank you.
Rhysaene

Hazel
00:32:32What?00:32:35Oh.00:32:37Thank you.
Temerity
00:32:37Hey.
Hazel
00:32:39It’s very kind.
Rhysaene
00:32:41Of course.
Iva
00:32:42I will subtract my two silver.
Dungeon Master
00:32:45So you’re kind of skimping, Iva?
Iva
00:32:49Not two silver, five silver, whatever the number was.
Temerity
00:32:51Five.
Dungeon Master
00:32:52five silvers unless you’re like…
Luma
00:32:52Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:32:55you’re eating light or00:32:57or cutting out the alcohol.
Rhysaene
00:32:59Thank you.
Luma
00:32:59brings out.
Iva
00:32:59Nah, I’ll spend the five silvers.00:33:01Uh, Iva doesn’t eat a lot, just stares at the door.
Temerity
00:33:05Yeah.
Luma
00:33:10There’s no dancing, Sawdiva. You don’t need to stay.
Iva
00:33:13I was like, I’m not really worried about
Luma
00:33:13We confirmed this last time.
Temerity
00:33:13Hehehehe.
Iva
00:33:15I’m not worried about the sword.
Hazel
00:33:21No tips.00:33:22I don’t think you’d matter enough to them that they would make a scene in front of everyone
Iva
00:33:30They’re just close to00:33:32one of the places.
Hazel
00:33:39Hazel will nod.00:33:46uh,00:33:52Well,00:33:56Unless anyone has anything else, I think Hazel would just be like, “Oh, well, this was nice.”00:34:00start to.00:34:05start to finish up for the night.
Temerity
00:34:08Right.00:34:12As that happens, Temerity will head out with Hazel.00:34:18Um…00:34:19and say,00:34:21Uh,00:34:22Thank you all for…00:34:23uh,00:34:25for hanging out.00:34:26Hope we can do this again soon.
Hazel
00:34:32Likewise, likewise.
Temerity
00:34:32Um,
Luma
00:34:34Good night.
Temerity
00:34:36Mm-hmm.00:34:37Good night, Luma.00:34:38Good night.00:34:40you all.
Rhysaene
00:34:40Take care.
Hazel
00:34:46All right, Temerity.00:34:47What is the… Actually, I guess she’ll wait until they get outside in the cold air.00:34:53Is, is, is, is.
Temerity
00:34:54Hee hee hee.
Hazel
00:34:56is adding to the, to the,00:34:59is adding to the like to the drama and she goes okay so what is it
Temerity
00:35:05.00:35:07Um,00:35:12the00:35:14vision that you had00:35:17Down in the vaults.00:35:19uh,00:35:21combined with…00:35:23Your prayer, I feel like this.00:35:26information might be00:35:29pertinent.00:35:30uh,00:35:31to you00:35:33But--00:35:36Temerity kind of like rubs the back of their neck00:35:39as they like00:35:41Grimace a little bit, not sure how to really break the news.
Iva
00:35:43Thank you.
Temerity
00:35:45laughs Because this is a huge deal.00:35:48Not a huge, huge deal, but like, pretty big.00:35:51Uh…00:35:53No, yeah, pretty huge deal.00:35:55Um,00:35:57I00:36:01When00:36:03I died.00:36:04It was00:36:05Reef.00:36:07But…00:36:10I did get a glimpse.00:36:12at what’s to come after.00:36:16And…00:36:18It’s00:36:20not.00:36:22pretty. It’s, uh,00:36:25called00:36:27It’s lonely.00:36:30feels…00:36:32abandoned.00:36:34feels a lot like the sorrow.00:36:36So00:36:37I think that00:36:39what awaits for us after death.00:36:42might.00:36:42Just be the sorrow.
Hazel
00:36:48These are mods.
Temerity
00:36:51Heh heh heh.
Hazel
00:36:51Uh,00:36:53And it’s just like,00:36:56Is that all you wanted to tell me?
Temerity
00:36:59Oh.00:37:00Yeah.
Dungeon Master

Hazel
00:37:09No, I don’t know.00:37:11Hazel, kind of like, she’s pausing.00:37:13Like, she’s obviously not like…00:37:15Like, oh yeah.00:37:17Obviously.
Temerity
00:37:17Uh-huh.
Hazel
00:37:18Like she’s not00:37:20But she is like, well…00:37:24uh,00:37:26as00:37:29has00:37:32And…00:37:33fortunate as it might be.00:37:35doesn’t really change anything.00:37:37need.00:37:41learn.00:37:43We’re working to try and.00:37:45stop the sorrow.00:37:47and00:37:49uh,00:37:51Well,00:37:51gotta be alive to do that.00:37:54I don’t plan on dying anytime soon.00:37:57Thank you.00:38:01It’s a shame that those who are already, you know,00:38:06gone.00:38:06Uh,00:38:07we’re already gone and have00:38:11are,00:38:12you know, and00:38:13wherever00:38:15wherever they are, like00:38:20whatever afterlife that might exist.00:38:23but,00:38:25Mm-hmm.00:38:26my,00:38:28My goal was always to…00:38:30make it a better place here.00:38:32Okay.
Temerity
00:38:34it00:38:35It already gives a slight smile to that.00:38:38And…00:38:39uh,00:38:41It’s like, all right.00:38:42I just felt that00:38:44You should know.00:38:46uh,00:38:47I guess.
Hazel
00:38:49I appreciate it.
Temerity
00:38:49That’s--
Hazel
00:38:50Why?00:38:53Why do you feel they need to keep it00:38:54from the others.
Temerity
00:38:58Uh…
Hazel
00:39:01they’re out there risking their own lives and00:39:05Don’t you think that00:39:06it.00:39:07someone who is00:39:10using their life00:39:12putting it on the line.00:39:14for your…00:39:15for you should at least know that00:39:17What’s awaiting them afterwards?00:39:22We are…00:39:24We’re all a team.
Temerity
00:39:27Um,
Hazel
00:39:27If you think that it might affect them,
Temerity
00:39:33Well,00:39:35They seem to be…00:39:38you know, living.00:39:39their own lives for now, and I hope that they would continue to live00:39:44Uh,00:39:46live their lives as00:39:49you know,00:39:52As it is this.
Hazel
00:39:56Luma told you that she wants to go into the sorrow.
Temerity
00:39:57All right.
Hazel
00:40:00Iva runs into every situation with reckless abandon.00:40:04And.00:40:05Rhys, I mean.00:40:06She00:40:07by her own nature is a00:40:12is a00:40:13kicking time bomb to inquisitors and00:40:16supposedly dragoons alike,00:40:20these people, regardless of if they’re living their own lives, are still00:40:25are it’s still information that they should know. No.
Temerity
00:40:33Perhaps, um,00:40:36I just.
Hazel
00:40:36We’re noted.00:40:40Those though we00:40:42agree in how we’re00:40:44in our philosophies, how we want00:40:48the world to look, I mean, we’re no better than them.
Temerity
00:40:52No, I…00:40:54Never thought otherwise.00:40:57Um,00:41:00But-00:41:01I00:41:03I see your point. I worry…00:41:06on how the news might impact them, I suppose.
Hazel
00:41:12- Thank you.00:41:13I,00:41:15I can see that though I don’t believe the answer is to let them live in ignorance.
Temerity
00:41:24Josh Triplett: Already kind of like.00:41:26It has a ponderous look on their face.
Hazel
00:41:28- Yeah.00:41:32It’s all the same with the religious types, gosh.
Iva
00:41:34Thank you.
Temerity
00:41:35crying00:41:40Gasp
Hazel
00:41:40They all have…00:41:42the,00:41:43They all.00:41:44They all deserve to have00:41:46the full picture.00:41:48When I…00:41:49I, I,00:41:52as much as I wish that I could have kept things about myself00:41:56secret to the others.00:41:58And00:41:59I’ve shared it.00:42:03knowing that it might go poorly.00:42:05And she kind of like…00:42:07gestures at you, gestures at Temerity.
Temerity
00:42:08laughs00:42:14That’s
Hazel
00:42:14us.
Temerity
00:42:15That’s fair. I,00:42:23I suppose if any…00:42:26had asked, I would tell them. I guess it just didn’t come to mind.
Hazel
00:42:30I don’t know.00:42:30- Hmm.
Temerity
00:42:31laughs
Hazel
00:42:32Yeah.00:42:33That’s fair.00:42:34Sorry.00:42:35That’s not what Hazel would say.00:42:38Hazelnuts.00:42:39Well,00:42:44uh,
Temerity
00:42:44I…00:42:46I’ll take your words into account, though.00:42:49I’ll try and find a moment to maybe00:42:52Break it to the rest of them.
Hazel
00:42:54I don’t mean to…00:42:57tune.00:42:58- Yeah.00:43:00as if I’m judging you.00:43:01There it is.00:43:02Frankly,00:43:04I understand why you might not want to, but00:43:07Or it might not have crossed your mind, but these people are--00:43:13All of them are.00:43:15are much, much stronger than00:43:18I feel you might give them credit for.
Temerity
00:43:26I suppose that’s fair.00:43:27Um,00:43:30Well,00:43:35At least for tonight, I should be heading back.00:43:37Got to…00:43:38Early morning.00:43:40Tomorrow.00:43:40Tomorrow.00:43:41Uh…00:43:42Perhaps the next time…
Hazel
00:43:42Likewise.
Temerity
00:43:44I see everybody.00:43:46Uh,00:43:48try and find a way to interject it.
Hazel
00:43:50- Mm-hmm, well.00:43:52when that day arrives and she just kind of waves and00:43:56spending.00:43:57turns to walk to walk back.
Temerity
00:43:59All right.00:44:01And Temerity will head back to the barracks.
Hazel
00:44:04Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to put Temerity on blast like that. It’s just, I think that’s Hazel.
Temerity
00:44:08No.00:44:09Yeah.

Dungeon Master

Iva

Dungeon Master

Iva

00:53:00Back to checks, I’m bad at it.00:53:10Well, the ones are kind of like buff.00:53:14This is not one of the ones I could love.00:53:20Uh,00:53:22Eight.
Dungeon Master
00:53:24Eight total with advantage.
Iva
00:53:30Wait.00:53:30Wait, I probably don’t have my scale mail on.00:53:38Oh yeah, 8 total with advantage. Yeah, I rolled real bad.
Dungeon Master
00:53:42You are just so distracted by the thoughts of the situation you’ve gotten yourself into.00:53:50It is a true rock and a hard place kind of scenario…00:53:55um,00:53:57And in that distraction, you spend an hour moving about the city.00:54:03And you like undeniably like the work is sloppy.00:54:08But at the very least, if it’s comforting, you don’t really see any signs that you’re being followed.00:54:17But if you were being followed, you almost certainly were not able to lose anybody.
Iva
00:54:23Right. Well…
Dungeon Master
00:54:23But, but00:54:24But there’s no signs that you were.00:54:26There’s no…00:54:27The alleyway was dark, quiet…00:54:30um,00:54:33No signs that anyone was in there, but you’re eventually able to make it back to Rhys’s after taking the extra hour to kind of just spend the night in the cold air.
Iva
00:54:44Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:54:47The door left unlocked, a plate left out, wrists either gone to bed or still painting when you arrive.
Rhysaene
00:54:57How long was she out?
Dungeon Master
00:54:58probably like an hour and 30 minutes total.
Rhysaene
00:55:02Okay, Rhys will still be up, but she’s painting.
Dungeon Master
00:55:09home.
Iva
00:55:09Iva walks in, looks at Rhys, and goes…00:55:12I’m in trouble.
Rhysaene
00:55:17Are you followed?
Iva
00:55:20I don’t think so. I spent an extra hour wandering around, but I’m not exactly sneaky. My sneakiness is just, you know…00:55:28not being me.
Rhysaene
00:55:35fucking00:55:38She like drops her paintbrush.00:55:40Well, like not drops it, but she like places her paintbrush down.00:55:50What you got yourself into again?
Iva
00:55:53Iva shows her the note.00:55:57which reads, I’ll read it,00:55:59Sunset.
Rhysaene
00:55:59Oh, God.
Iva
00:56:01Sunset on the second of Nightdeep.00:56:04place where M met your nephew00:56:06Bring a familiar face.00:56:08Come alone.00:56:09Lowercase T, capital F.
Rhysaene
00:56:15Oh, wow.
Iva
00:56:17I have a person.
Temerity
00:56:18Thank you.
Dungeon Master
00:56:21I’ll put it in.00:56:23Since Bruce said it, I’ll put it in game of that.
Hazel
00:56:27Bring a familiar face, these fuckers are such00:56:30Little shitheads.00:56:31What the hell?
Temerity
00:56:31Uhhhhhh…
Rhysaene
00:56:31All right.
Iva
00:56:32- Great.
Hazel
00:56:33That’s…00:56:35- I like that, that’s cute.
Rhysaene
00:56:37No, no, no, no.
Iva
00:56:37Yeah.
Temerity
00:56:37I’m sorry.
Iva
00:56:39It’s crazy.
Rhysaene
00:56:41No, no, no.00:56:43I’m a, I’m a.
Iva
00:56:45I was like, I know, I’m in trouble.
Rhysaene
00:56:49You’re fucking…00:56:52Okay.00:56:53Um,00:57:04back.00:57:12I guess you got to figure out who to fucking bring then.
Iva
00:57:12this is…00:57:15I think it means me.00:57:23Because it says, come alone.
Rhysaene
00:57:25Au.00:57:26Yeah.00:57:35Oh my goodness.00:57:43He likes size.00:57:47picks up the paintbrush again.00:57:52there’s a plate for you.
Iva
00:57:54Emesis, thank you.00:57:56Not very hungry, but I’ll try.00:57:58Thank you.00:58:03He goes and sits down and stares at the plate, longingly.
Luma
00:58:08I’m going to work for the terrorists, but I’m not going to be a terrorist.00:58:10What do you mean they’re deploying terrorist things on me?
Temerity
00:58:13laughs
Iva
00:58:13I don’t know.00:58:19What do you mean my actions have consequences?
Rhysaene
00:58:25There’s no further scolding or anything from Rhys.00:58:29Well, like, not really a scolding in general.00:58:30She just, like…00:58:33takes one of her back hooves and like pushes the plate towards Iva.00:58:38A little bit.
Iva
00:58:40Eva just looks up and tries to munch.
Rhysaene
00:58:45That’s what the wrist does.00:58:47I don’t know what she’s done.
Iva
00:58:48It does know what she’s done.00:58:54It would have been so much easier if you were mean to Iva.
Dungeon Master
00:58:57And.00:58:58But that’s…
Iva
00:59:00Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
00:59:00That’s what the two of you are left with tonight, which brings us finally to Luma.
Luma
00:59:06Hello.
Dungeon Master
00:59:07What’s Luma up to?
Luma
00:59:08Luma.00:59:11drinks probably a little too much after being left to her own devices.00:59:16and decides to go looking for a jeweler.
Dungeon Master
00:59:21- Thank you.00:59:24You…00:59:27head out.00:59:28If you’re still in the Lantern Ward’s…00:59:32especially00:59:34There are jewelers.00:59:36Um,00:59:37You figure they’re probably all closed.00:59:40It’s late on a, like…00:59:43on a holiday.00:59:45However, a lot of shops are such that like the person00:59:49who owns the shop lives above the shop.00:59:52It’s possible if you knocked, you could catch someone who was willing to…00:59:57um,
Luma
00:59:58Yeah.
Dungeon Master
00:59:59to do a quick trade,01:00:04a sale still being worth it even under the circumstances01:00:08Um,01:00:11think I have any jewelers.
Luma
01:00:15Spell component shop is also acceptable. Specifically, she was looking for a ruby worth 100 gold pieces.
Dungeon Master
01:00:18Well…01:00:22you’re not going to find a spell component shop.01:00:25you’d have to hit up a black market.
Luma
01:00:25Well,
Dungeon Master
01:00:27Um, but a jeweler with rubies, absolutely.
Luma
01:00:27Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:00:30Um…01:00:31You find a kind of out-of-the-way place, not in the Lantern Wards, but actually closer to your apartment.01:00:38A little, like…
Luma
01:00:40Thank you.
Dungeon Master
01:00:41um,01:00:42a little tiny little shop.
Iva
01:00:42Thank you.
Dungeon Master
01:00:44Um,01:00:45two story01:00:46but like half the height.01:00:49of a two-story building.01:00:50So like a two-story building crammed into a…01:00:54a one-story…01:00:56like space.01:00:57Um, it’s kind of loft layout when you go in, there’s like a little display counter or not when01:01:02you go in. Cause when you look in the window, the lights are off downstairs, but like you can see01:01:07upstairs, um, there’s a little like gnomish fellow sitting at a desk upstairs. Um, you can see through01:01:15the window of this, like,01:01:17Presumably like a one-person house, a single-story house turned into…01:01:22an apartment slash storefront01:01:26for or by this gnome.01:01:31But you can see he’s awake and he’s like currently working on something upstairs.
Luma
01:01:41Let’s see how.
Dungeon Master
01:01:41um,
Luma
01:01:43Francois Luma.01:01:49He starts throwing pebbles at his window.
Temerity
01:01:51Huh.
Dungeon Master
01:01:52He watches, he like…01:01:56Puts his hands up on his head and ducks.
Temerity
01:01:56laughter
Dungeon Master
01:02:00And then stops.
Luma
01:02:00This is…01:02:01Is this window closed or open?
Dungeon Master
01:02:01Sorry.01:02:03Oh, it’s closed.
Luma
01:02:04Okay.
Dungeon Master
01:02:04At the sound, he like puts his hand on his head and ducks.01:02:07He looks around.01:02:08He looks down.01:02:10Like he’s only like six or seven feet up above the ground.01:02:15on this like01:02:17half, like half second story.01:02:19He kind of looks out the window tilted head and,01:02:22um01:02:23pops up from his desk, kind of saunters down the stairs.01:02:27Um,01:02:28walks over to the door and points up at a sign that says “closed.”
Luma
01:02:34Uh,01:02:35opens up her bag and holds up a fistful01:02:38of platinum coins.
Dungeon Master
01:02:39He turns the sign around so that it says open,
Luma
01:02:41- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:02:43and he unlocks and opens the door.
Luma
01:02:43Glug
Iva
01:02:43-
Luma
01:02:44laughs
Iva
01:02:45Yeah.
Luma
01:02:46Oh, I just need a quick thing real quick. I was hoping you’d be,
Dungeon Master
01:02:48Oh, oh.
Luma
01:02:49I mean, about to, to.01:02:51Betrayed.
Dungeon Master
01:02:52I’m amenable to money, which you have shown me now.
Luma
01:02:57Yeah.
Temerity
01:02:57Who?
Luma
01:02:58I need a ruby.
Dungeon Master
01:03:00Like a necklace, a ring?
Luma
01:03:02No, just a.
Dungeon Master
01:03:02a wristwatch.
Luma
01:03:04a raw ruby01:03:05Just like a, you know.
Dungeon Master
01:03:06Oh.
Luma
01:03:07like a,
Dungeon Master
01:03:07like a loose.
Luma
01:03:09Yeah, like, how much would a 100 gold ruby size be like?01:03:13Mike.
Dungeon Master
01:03:13I don’t know.
Luma
01:03:13palm-sized
Dungeon Master
01:03:15It would be smaller than that, but bigger than tiny.01:03:18It’d be like…
Luma
01:03:18OK, yeah, it’s like thumb size.
Dungeon Master
01:03:19like a little bit.01:03:21There’s some
Luma
01:03:21She like pulls out a scrap of paper and quickly draws like a diagram of a fucking ruby and just like hands it to him.01:03:26Like that.
Dungeon Master
01:03:26He goes back01:03:28Behind the counter, and there’s a little gnome-sized door behind this counter that he unlocks and heads inside.01:03:36And you hear rummaging, and he comes back out, and he holds up a ruby.01:03:40Um,01:03:40Not cut.01:03:42This is like an uncut01:03:44like hunk of Ruby about the size you’re asking for. He says, um,01:03:49I have one. If you’d like it cut, it’s going to take a couple days.
Luma
01:03:53Raw is perfectly fine.
Dungeon Master
01:03:54Oh, um…01:03:56How much does it need to cost?
Luma
01:03:59It needs to cost 100 gold for the01:04:01the spell.
Dungeon Master
01:04:04He’s, uh,01:04:05100 gold!
Luma
01:04:07I wasn’t sure if, sorry, was that out of character or in character?01:04:09That would have been a completely different answer.
Dungeon Master
01:04:11That was out of character. That was an out of character.
Temerity
01:04:11okay okay that was my bad sorry that was my bad
Luma
01:04:12Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Iva
01:04:13Thank you.01:04:14Well, I did do it for magic.
Rhysaene
01:04:14-
Dungeon Master
01:04:15He’s like, “Spell? What do you mean?”
Luma
01:04:17No, no, no.01:04:18I’ve got a cover story. I don’t want Luma to fuck it up.
Rhysaene
01:04:18Yeah, for the01:04:19Yeah, 100%.01:04:20100 fold for the ritual I’m doing.
Iva
01:04:21Okay.
Dungeon Master
01:04:23is, is,
Luma
01:04:23I spent it.
Iva
01:04:23laughs
Temerity
01:04:23laughs
Dungeon Master
01:04:25- Yeah.01:04:25He’s like,
Luma
01:04:25The dark one requires 100 euros.
Dungeon Master
01:04:27Well, actually, he doesn’t say 100 gold gold.01:04:29Hold on.01:04:29Let me think about this.01:04:30He’d say, normally, I don’t sell loose gemstones.01:04:33This is probably…01:04:36let’s say 120 gold.
Luma
01:04:43Do you have like a slightly smaller one?01:04:46That’s like a slightly less amount of money.
Dungeon Master
01:04:47This is…01:04:48You.01:04:50So, out of character, this is the 100 gold piece ruby.01:04:54He’s charging you.01:04:55He’s upcharging because it is, like…01:04:58Wholesale hundred gold peas.01:05:00You’re at a retail jewelry store.01:05:01You can talk him down or offer something else in trade, but he is holding a 100 gold piece01:05:07ruby and asking you 120 gold for it.
Luma
01:05:19I’m very bad at haggling.01:05:22I think Luma just says yeah, OK, I could pay that.01:05:25Um,01:05:26Per my crafter feed it should cost me 96 gold.
Dungeon Master
01:05:31Um, hold on.01:05:32Pre-crafting feet.01:05:34It’s 20% off.
Luma
01:05:36Yeah.
Iva
01:05:41You see, I’m actually a local crafter.
Luma
01:05:41I wouldn’t be penny-pinching so hard, but you’re taking almost my entire fucking money reserved for one spell.
Dungeon Master
01:05:45No, the…01:05:46- Up.01:05:47The crafter feat is like the mechanical, like, substitute for the…
Luma
01:05:51Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:05:52The.01:05:54the persuasion rolls other people would have to roll through it at Haggle.
Luma
01:05:56- Wow.
Rhysaene
01:05:57Thank you.
Luma
01:05:58Oh, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:05:5820 gold off the base price is it’s 100 gold. He’s like, okay, fine. It’s 100 gold.01:06:06Fine, I make no profit, but…01:06:09You’re strange and I like that.
Temerity
01:06:12Hehehehehe.
Luma
01:06:12Thank you.01:06:13It’s going to a really good cause.01:06:14It’s really cool.01:06:17I can’t tell you ’cause it’s a secret.
Dungeon Master
01:06:17Oh.01:06:18Oh.01:06:19like a, like a
Luma
01:06:19I’ll tell you if you knock off another 20 gold.
Dungeon Master
01:06:23- No.
Hazel
01:06:23laughs
Iva
01:06:24-
Dungeon Master
01:06:24- Yeah.01:06:24He gives you, like, a shrewd, like…
Luma
01:06:25Thank you.
Rhysaene
01:06:25This is…
Luma
01:06:26-01:06:28Thank you.
Dungeon Master
01:06:28All right, then. Keep your secrets.
Luma
01:06:31Yeah.
Temerity
01:06:31laughs
Iva
01:06:32laughs
Hazel
01:06:32I think it’s okay.
Rhysaene
01:06:32Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:06:33He takes your 100 gold and hands you the ruby.
Luma
01:06:36There goes half of my money.01:06:37All right.01:06:38Luma will take it. She’ll put it in a little, like, cloth bag and…01:06:43dump it into her bag of holding.01:06:45Well, no.01:06:46She’ll dump it into her pocket.
Dungeon Master
01:06:48Yeah.
Luma
01:06:48and then she’ll give Will a wave and say thank you very much. Sorry for making you come all the way down here for01:06:55I really appreciate it.
Dungeon Master
01:06:58It’s01:06:59Well, if you ever need more jewels…01:07:02You know where to go, I guess.01:07:03But preferably finished jewelry.
Luma
01:07:07um…
Dungeon Master
01:07:07that I could charge you for the time and effort I spent crafting it and,01:07:11you know, feed my feed myself and all of that.
Luma
01:07:14Yeah, well…01:07:16I’m making things too.01:07:17Do you have like a supplier?
Dungeon Master
01:07:18Did I just sell raw materials to a competitor? Hold on.
Luma
01:07:22No, no, no, I’m not selling it. It’s, it’s a, it’s going to be a gift.
Iva
01:07:22- Yeah.
Luma
01:07:26Luma says, like a liar.
Dungeon Master
01:07:26Oh, that’s lovely.01:07:28You know…01:07:30I actually make jewelry that makes great gifts.
Iva
01:07:33- Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:07:34What do you think?
Luma
01:07:34Yeah, but-- and--01:07:37In my culture, trading gifts that you make is, is,01:07:40particularly sentimental.
Dungeon Master
01:07:42Mm.
Iva
01:07:44damn cultures.
Dungeon Master
01:07:45of.01:07:46Mmm, I don’t know about that.01:07:49um,01:07:51But…01:07:53What’s done is done.01:07:54Is there anything else you need?
Luma
01:07:57Thank you very much.
Dungeon Master
01:07:59You’re welcome.01:08:01He’s…01:08:02He’s got mixed…01:08:03Like, he’s not…01:08:05He’s not super reserved.01:08:07He’s very expressive.01:08:08He’s clearly got some mixed feelings about Luma.01:08:11On the one hand, he finds her charming.01:08:14On the other hand, she did just come in and, like…01:08:19take a raw material for no upside.01:08:22um,01:08:23he’s…
Luma
01:08:24No upside.
Dungeon Master
01:08:25Huh?
Luma
01:08:26What do you mean by no upside?
Dungeon Master
01:08:28I mean, that’s what it cost him to get that rupee.
Luma
01:08:31Oh, I see, I see.
Dungeon Master
01:08:33So it’s not a loss, but it’s not a gain either.01:08:36It’s a waste of time.01:08:38Um,01:08:39But you can probably assume he figures, if you’re a repeat customer, that might be worth it.01:08:45Also, he does find Luma charming.01:08:50um,01:08:51But he kind of01:08:53deal done kind of waves his hand dismissively.01:08:56Um,01:08:57All right, now it’s late. Go make your gift.
Luma
01:09:01very much.01:09:03turn them.01:09:05stumble off.
Dungeon Master
01:09:06He turns the sign and locks the door.01:09:09Um,01:09:10You head back presumably to your apartment or are you doing more?
Luma
01:09:13Um…01:09:15She is going, yeah, she’s going to her apartment.
Dungeon Master
01:09:19Outside your apartment, outside your exterior door, sitting on the ground in front of…01:09:26Your door is a01:09:29is a01:09:30Purshy?01:09:32wrapped in like01:09:35like a, like a vellum or a kind of like light leather.01:09:39tied with twine,01:09:40and tied to that parcel is a second letter in a paper envelope,01:09:45Um,01:09:45stamped with a wax seal.
Luma
01:09:49It’s for Luma.01:09:50So pick them up.01:09:51Take him inside.
Dungeon Master
01:09:52You pick them up and take them inside.
Iva
01:09:56I love the idea that Luma goes, presents for Luma!
Luma
01:10:00Yeah.
Hazel
01:10:00Thank you.
Luma
01:10:02She’s on the sauce.
Rhysaene
01:10:03Thank you.
Luma
01:10:03Ha ha ha.
Iva
01:10:03I’m sorry.
Luma
01:10:04Thank you.
Hazel
01:10:04Thank you.
Temerity
01:10:04laughs
Luma
01:10:06It’s very important that she is inebriated for what comes next.
Dungeon Master
01:10:06It is…01:10:10Oh, God.
Temerity
01:10:11Hehehehe.
Luma
01:10:12No, for sure he’s going to look at the01:10:15package and tear it open.01:10:17or carefully unwrap it.
Dungeon Master
01:10:17Um,01:10:18It is a wrapped package and on top of that package, an envelope sealed with a wax seal.
Luma
01:10:25Oh, she’ll read the letter first.01:10:27or open the envelope first.
Dungeon Master
01:10:27You crack.01:10:29you,01:10:29Take the envelope, you look at the wax seal, it is like a deep, rich, brown wax, very familiar to you, both the color of the wax and the seal. It is the official seal of Drace Logging Company.
Luma
01:10:45- Mmm.
Dungeon Master
01:10:46You open the letter.01:10:49And you receive one.01:10:51What?
Luma
01:10:54One letter… Oh, fuck. It’s… I gotta download the letter.
Dungeon Master
01:10:58Gotta download the letter.
Luma
01:10:59I’ll hold.01:11:00Download the letter, open the letter.
Iva
01:11:02You know, my letter didn’t require downloads.01:11:04I think my letter was better.
Dungeon Master
01:11:04Yours is the lunch order.
Luma
01:11:04I gotta open up.
Iva
01:11:06Glug
Luma
01:11:07Your letter was one sentence of pain.
Iva
01:11:08Thank you.01:11:09Better letter over here.
Temerity

Luma

Temerity
01:11:20Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:11:23Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
01:11:26Yeah, Ayal gets a letter and then…01:11:33Sorry, I’ve…01:11:34Luma gets a very nice letter.01:11:36And then Ivy gets the sorrow.
Luma
01:11:39Um,
Temerity
01:11:39laughs
Iva
01:11:40Thank you.
Luma
01:11:41I’m assuming this is a typo, but he meant mother and not monster.
Iva
01:11:41Thank you.
Dungeon Master
01:11:45Yes, that is… Hold on.
Luma
01:11:46It’s…
Iva
01:11:47you
Temerity

Dungeon Master
01:11:49Hold on.
Rhysaene
01:11:50Oh.
Temerity
01:11:53No way.
Luma
01:11:54Ha ha ha!
Dungeon Master
01:11:55Yes, that is in fact…
Iva
01:11:56laughs
Luma
01:11:57- Yeah.01:11:58I don’t think he likes my mom very much.
Iva
01:11:59you
Dungeon Master
01:12:00Nope, that is a typo. It is supposed to be mother, not monster. Wow.
Temerity
01:12:01- No.
Luma
01:12:01Thank you.01:12:03Oh, my God.01:12:06I don’t know.
Temerity

Luma
01:12:17Yeah.
Iva
01:12:18Yeah.
Luma
01:12:18- Mm-hmm.01:12:22Oh no.01:12:23I like this letter a lot and I’m going to be saying a lot of shit that nobody’s going to get context of and that makes me happy.
Iva
01:12:28- Yeah.
Temerity
01:12:28Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:12:29This is 100% for Eylesis.
Luma
01:12:32sorry
Iva
01:12:32Bye.
Luma
01:12:34Should I read this like on the side while we continue with the actual session?01:12:37Because it’s going to take a minute.
Dungeon Master
01:12:38Well, unfortunately, no, because this letter leads into what’s in the package.
Luma
01:12:42Okay.01:12:43Okay, I’ll read as quick as I can. My brain hurts.
Dungeon Master
01:12:46I’m so sorry.
Hazel
01:12:47- Thank you.
Iva
01:12:47Oh,
Dungeon Master
01:12:47I should…
Luma
01:12:48No, it’s okay. It’s okay.
Iva
01:12:52I’ll read the letter for you.
Dungeon Master
01:12:52It is, it’s going to be a lot, Eylesis.01:12:54This is like, it’s going to be a lot.
Luma
01:12:59OK, I didn’t know about that.01:13:12Fucking…01:13:14Exploratory 50 years.
Dungeon Master
01:13:17Yeah, it’s a short little exploratory contract, only 50 years.
Luma
01:13:18Okay.01:13:21Love it.
Iva
01:13:28I think I know where our next job is.
Luma
01:13:39Oh man, Luma almost doesn’t finish this note and immediately goes for the package and then realizes it probably should finish the fucking letter.
Temerity
01:13:46Hehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:13:47laughs
Hazel
01:13:52And…
Temerity
01:13:54Welcome back.
Dungeon Master
01:13:54Welcome back.
Iva
01:13:55Welcome back.
Rhysaene
01:13:56Welcome back, darling.
Dungeon Master
01:14:01Yeah, I’m about to send Luma into a spiral, I think.
Luma
01:14:04Yeah, holy fuck.
Temerity
01:14:06Huh?01:14:13- -
Hazel
01:14:20Remember leap before you look and do it feet first.
Luma
01:14:24Thank you.01:14:54You are not going to fucking make me play another character that watches their, like, mentor character die in front of them, are you?
Temerity
01:15:02Yeah.
Luma
01:15:02cat.01:15:04make me go through scrap again.
Dungeon Master
01:15:06laughs
Hazel
01:15:08Oh.01:15:08Wow.
Dungeon Master
01:15:09I mean, there’s nothing about this that confirms that Eliath is even alive.
Luma
01:15:15Yeah, I know.
Dungeon Master
01:15:16Just that he was alive 60 years ago.01:15:24But maybe.01:15:26Yee hee hee hee.
Hazel
01:15:33I’m starting to think that maybe we’re
Luma
01:15:35Goddamn.
Hazel
01:15:36Maybe.01:15:36Letting you get off a little too easy, Kat.01:15:39Maybe we’re going to have to start01:15:40You got to unionize.
Luma
01:15:42Everybody’s getting a knock on their door in about 15 minutes.01:15:44Luma opens up.01:15:46package.
Iva
01:15:46Oh, no, that’s not good.
Dungeon Master
01:15:47I mean, it’s…
Luma
01:15:47Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:15:48Well, it’s hard.
Luma
01:15:48Yeah.01:15:50it.

Dungeon Master
01:15:57I’m so sorry!
Luma
01:15:58It’s okay. I’m excited, but oh, it hurts.
Temerity
01:15:59Yeah.
Luma
01:16:02Uh…
Iva
01:16:03Yes, stop there.
Luma
01:16:05I suffer.01:17:21Okay, great.01:17:24assigned a fucking blood quest from…01:17:28The elders.
Dungeon Master
01:17:30Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:17:30Awesome.
Rhysaene
01:17:32at all.
Luma
01:17:32Luma looks over at her fucking inconsequential little project she wanted to do and just sighs.01:17:40Uh,01:17:43I don’t know what you should do right now.
Dungeon Master
01:17:46Are you done with the letter?
Luma
01:17:48Yeah, I read it.
Dungeon Master
01:17:50And this is the last thing that was in the parcel.
Luma
01:17:50Thank you.01:17:52Oh, right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.01:17:56Oh, that’s incredibly helpful. You were supposed to be a cartographer, Eliath. What the fuck is this?
Dungeon Master
01:18:01- True, it is very,
Luma
01:18:01- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:18:02It is not up to your standards by any means.
Luma
01:18:08- Oh.01:18:09Man, let’s stare at this nonsense.01:18:17all.01:18:33- Okay.01:18:34Interesting.01:18:36Okay.01:18:42She’s going to…01:18:44Tuck that.01:18:45all of that into our little01:18:47notebook01:18:49And paced for a while.01:18:51Because she doesn’t know if she should…01:18:55Act upon it or…01:18:57wait because everybody’s got things that they are planning on doing.01:19:00And they’re not going to want to go gallivanting off into the unknown.01:19:06Oh.01:19:09Okay.01:19:10And she’s got to turn in her stuff.01:19:11She’s got other responsibilities she’s got to do.01:19:13Fuck.
Dungeon Master
01:19:13We’ve got our responsibilities.
Luma
01:19:14All right.
Dungeon Master
01:19:14There’s also…
Luma
01:19:15We can table that for tomorrow.
Dungeon Master
01:19:17Not that it will stop Luma.01:19:20Mathas was pretty clear that Luma should not do it.
Luma
01:19:24Yeah, no, she’s definitely going to be visiting Mathas first.01:19:28Um…01:19:30But that’s, yeah.01:19:34OK.01:19:34Yeah, she tables up for now.01:19:36Instead, she distracts herself with the project that she
Dungeon Master
01:19:40Yeah.
Luma
01:19:40want to do.01:19:41Um,
Dungeon Master
01:19:41What’s she doing?
Luma
01:19:42Luma brings out the Ruby. Luma brings out the01:19:47Um,01:19:49bottles of…01:19:50Phase Spider and cloak her blood and juices and shit.01:19:55And she brings out the broken pieces of the turnstone.01:19:59and begins01:20:01doodling.
Dungeon Master
01:20:03Mm-mm.
Luma
01:20:05Uh,01:20:05Mm-hmm.01:20:06drawing01:20:07The components.01:20:10Trying to.01:20:11to01:20:12curiously put them together in some description.01:20:16testing her ability to create things and01:20:21Um,01:20:22She just spends like probably01:20:24several hours just fucking around on paper.01:20:26until she starts drawing a little creatively.01:20:29And01:20:31when she finishes her drawing,01:20:32uh,01:20:34all of the01:20:35components kind of start like dissolving into the page much to her panic.01:20:40as she flails around trying to stop01:20:43What?01:20:44results in a little construct.01:20:48I’ll put in game art.01:20:50No, that’s the wrong game, all right?
Dungeon Master
01:20:50Oh.
Luma
01:20:53um,
Dungeon Master
01:20:58Baaah!01:21:00It’s got a bottle.
Luma
01:21:00Uh,
Hazel
01:21:01Oh, cute. Oh, it’s a defect.
Luma
01:21:04And
Hazel
01:21:04Aww.
Iva
01:21:04It is a defect.01:21:05Look at him, he’s a little guy.
Hazel
01:21:06How…01:21:08How much of the of the dark mental01:21:11And, uh, like, Phase Spider stuff did you use?01:21:14I think I had it marked on my shoot so I can, I can mark it off.
Luma
01:21:17Well,
Rhysaene
01:21:17Oh my God.
Luma
01:21:18Luma collected her…01:21:19own.
Hazel
01:21:20Oh, OK, OK.
Luma
01:21:20Um, yeah.01:21:22for the purposes of this.01:21:23She collected01:21:24Some for this project.01:21:25She wanted also to experiment with making ink out of it.01:21:28So I think she collected like
Hazel
01:21:29Okay, okay.
Luma
01:21:30uh,01:21:31Probably two bottles of each.01:21:34Oh no, that’s right. She collected a jug of each.
Hazel
01:21:34Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:21:38Oh?
Luma
01:21:38She…01:21:39Yeah, she made jugs.01:21:41to fill up.
Hazel
01:21:45- Okay.
Luma
01:21:47At least she offered a drug to Hazel. I don’t remember my
Hazel
01:21:50Yeah.
Luma
01:21:51My brain is fuzzy.
Hazel
01:21:53- Okay.
Luma
01:21:54Um,
Hazel
01:21:54uh,01:21:58I think the way that Hazel was doing it is that she just, like,01:22:00she was able to01:22:02harvest like the whole sack.
Dungeon Master
01:22:05She cut the ink sacs out of the Darkmantles.
Luma
01:22:05I don’t know.
Hazel
01:22:05On the01:22:07on the Darkmantle. So I can give you those. I don’t need them.01:22:11I wanted to use one of them on the, on the, on the, on the, on the,
Luma
01:22:12That’s…
Hazel
01:22:16The cloaker like materials to see if we could make some like01:22:21weird.
Luma
01:22:22Yeah.01:22:23No, keep that.
Hazel
01:22:24Shit.
Luma
01:22:25This was just like a fucking…01:22:28It is literally an ink bottle full of just01:22:30mixed juice01:22:32like,
Hazel
01:22:32I see.
Luma
01:22:33Goop. It’s completely non-specific.
Hazel
01:22:33Okay.
Luma
01:22:35It’s more flavor for the fact that
Hazel
01:22:35Yeah, you did. You did collect the goop.
Luma
01:22:37It’s a homunculus servant. It’s, it’s yeah.
Hazel
01:22:40Yeah.
Luma
01:22:40I just thought it’d be interesting to combine a bunch of the stuff that we collected last session.
Dungeon Master
01:22:42Yeah, it’s really fucking cool looking.
Luma
01:22:45Thank you.
Hazel
01:22:45Yeah, my bad.
Luma
01:22:46Yeah, so basically it’s a it’s a bottle of like neon.
Dungeon Master
01:22:47a little bit of the eye.
Luma
01:22:51green, uh, blue…01:22:53like,01:22:54“Blow in the Dark” ink.01:22:55and01:22:57they turn…01:22:58components or like01:23:00broken through the bottle.01:23:02as it wanders around, kind of stuck inside the bottle almost.
Dungeon Master
01:23:05Thank you.
Hazel
01:23:06Maybe.
Luma
01:23:08Um,01:23:10So yeah, that’s homunculus servant.01:23:13she has a little bit of a freak out on both the fact that she created life and01:23:18also,01:23:18um,01:23:20the contents of the letter and the contents of the other letter01:23:24before passing out.
Dungeon Master
01:23:27Luma01:23:28passes out01:23:29Everyone is able to get a long rest if they need it.01:23:33restore any expend resources of the day.01:23:37morning comes01:23:40Um,01:23:43And I think…01:23:44I think we start with Temerity, because I think Temerity has a very early morning.
Temerity
01:23:49That’s my boy.
Dungeon Master
01:23:51You wake up.01:23:53um,01:23:54before sunrise to the sound of rustling as you return to consciousness, your fellow01:24:02Dragoon wet scales already getting dressed for the day.
Temerity
01:24:09All right, to Temerity.01:24:12very quickly joined suit01:24:15Uh,01:24:16and gets01:24:17stressed trying to follow along with what everyone else is kind of doing to get ready for the day.
Dungeon Master
01:24:23Yeah.01:24:25It’s not like a uniform people seem to be putting on…01:24:28putting on their armor.
Temerity
01:24:30Okay.
Dungeon Master
01:24:30Um,01:24:32But no uniform, not even an Order of the Lantern tabard.01:24:36In this case, people are just putting on whatever they have with them.01:24:40One second.01:24:43get my notes going.01:24:46um,01:24:47Uh,01:24:48After that, everybody seems like you to have their own weapons.01:24:52Some of them are very clearly the standard forging of the Order of the Lantern.01:24:57Others are more personal.01:24:58The elf that you had seen previously a few sessions ago, when you first got to these barracks, seems to have a pair of war picks.01:25:12One forged of like,01:25:14Good wood and steel and the other of like aged like dark wood and yellowed with age, otherwise would be white bone.01:25:25Um,
Temerity
01:25:25I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
01:25:27There are, I think, nine other recruits in this bunk…01:25:33who get ready with you.01:25:36Um,01:25:37one of the recruits01:25:39a very young looking half-elf01:25:44with a very pretty face, he looks at you and says, “Oh,01:25:51You um.01:25:53you missed some of the orientation briefing01:25:57we’re supposed to report to the training yard01:26:00before the01:26:02before the sun comes up.
Temerity
01:26:04Oh.01:26:07All right. Thank you. Um,01:26:10Temerity extends a hand having met the first wet scale.
Dungeon Master
01:26:15He.01:26:16takes her hand. His grip is much lighter than
Iva
01:26:17Yes.01:26:19The little one actually might be nicer, yes, if that’s not too hard to get to.
Dungeon Master
01:26:21Bruce, you’re not muted.
Iva
01:26:24Oh, I’m sorry.
Dungeon Master
01:26:25He takes your hand. His grip is much lighter than yours. He’s standing up. He’s about five, six light hair, a very delicate build. You kind of can’t help but think like this guy’s going to be a dragoon.01:26:41um,
Temerity
01:26:41Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:26:44But he smiles and he’s…01:26:47My name is Kyren.01:26:50Kyren Lenara.
Temerity
01:26:52Kyren.01:26:53My name’s Temerity.01:26:54Nice to meet you.

Temerity
01:27:06he smiles and it’s like yes uh01:27:11I chose it.01:27:13Um…01:27:15here in.
Dungeon Master
01:27:18here in the night.
Temerity
01:27:18What was his last name?
Dungeon Master
01:27:19Lenara.01:27:20I’ll give you the
Temerity
01:27:20Lenara.
Dungeon Master
01:27:22the spelling in game chat.01:27:35The elf…01:27:39The elf walks over.01:27:43He’s kind of a like odd presence.01:27:46He has this kind of vibe that’s a little disconcerting.01:27:51He’s…01:27:52long01:27:55Uh,01:27:56Long black hair.01:27:58um,01:28:01kind of pulled back into like a messy ponytail,01:28:03um,01:28:05like a dark…01:28:06uh,01:28:07Amber eyes.01:28:09Very, like, fair, like…01:28:12Almost pale, fair, like, without…01:28:16blemished skin like you’d expect from an elf but um01:28:21Still like bags, not bags, but like dark circles under the eyes.01:28:24Just like the vibe of someone who doesn’t like get enough sleep.01:28:29very disconnected from what’s going on. But he looks to Kyren and he says,
Temerity
01:28:29Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:28:35I wouldn’t get attached to this one. I don’t think they have what it takes.
Temerity
01:28:40that’s the exact noise that comes out of to me01:28:44like did they say that to me or to kieran like
Dungeon Master
01:28:50They said it to Kyren.01:28:53but made no effort whatsoever to keep you from hearing it.
Temerity
01:28:57Yeah, no, that’s the noise that Temerity makes.01:28:59Uh, but,01:29:01It’s just like, it’s nice to meet you, Kyren.01:29:02And like, let’s go of his hand.
Dungeon Master
01:29:06Um,01:29:08Go ahead.
Temerity
01:29:10No, I wasn’t saying nothing else.
Dungeon Master
01:29:11Oh.01:29:12He kind of looks you up and down once more and then heads out.
Temerity
01:29:17All right. Yeah, Temerity’s going to head out too. Temerity doesn’t have much to get ready.
Dungeon Master
01:29:18um,01:29:22All right.01:29:22Kyren walks alongside you.01:29:24Kyren01:29:28as01:29:30Ugh.01:29:33Where is it?01:29:38Kyren,01:29:39Kyren is armed. He seems to be carrying what looks like a very simple, very clearly crafted by the Order of the Lantern…01:29:47uh, mace.
Temerity
01:29:50OK.
Dungeon Master
01:29:51a short four01:29:54or flinged01:29:57headed mace.01:30:02And he’s wearing like01:30:03medium kind of like chain armor.01:30:06Uh, Emeric does not wear armor and has the two war picks.01:30:10Sorry, I never told you that guy’s name.01:30:12The else guy doesn’t seem to be wearing armor, uh, and has two, um, the, the pair of, like,01:30:19cruel looking Warpicks.
Temerity
01:30:21Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:30:22And they head out, you head into the training yard,01:30:24all of the cadets gather in total, there are nine of you.01:30:28Standing at the front of the yard is Cassia Brightshield.01:30:33Um,01:30:35Rhea Larnas, who you’ve met before, a full-fledged dragoon, and a third person you have never seen before.01:30:45Oh.01:30:47The person, this person is, uh,01:30:51short01:30:52Shorter than Kyren, she is about 5’2”. She’s a very lean, kind of wiry build, but you could still see muscle definition in any parts of her skin that are exposed. Like a very dense…01:31:07kind of uh person um she is a an elf and kind of in in like01:31:14She looks, like, in build as if Luma was just fucking shredded.
Temerity
01:31:19He he he he he he, uh, just.
Dungeon Master
01:31:22But still very live, very elven, but the definition in the muscle is very clear.01:31:29to01:31:30has very short…01:31:33cropped01:31:35dark black hair,01:31:36um,01:31:39like very shallow cut bangs to be well out of her eyes.01:31:44Um,01:31:46She is wearing light leather armor01:31:50uh,01:31:51with, uh,01:31:53like a little silver, uh, dragon pin on the armor. Um, and very oddly, um,01:32:01She has a cloak.01:32:02Like I,01:32:03cape cloak that’s slung over her back,01:32:06that’s very clearly patched together01:32:09from like different pieces, like sewn together patches.01:32:15of different fabric, but it’s all dyed solid black.
Temerity
01:32:15Mm-hmm.01:32:20Oh.
Dungeon Master
01:32:21Um, and at her side on either side, um, she has a, uh,01:32:25a two mid-length blades.01:32:30One, you can’t really tell01:32:33what the blades look like.01:32:34because they’re both scabbarded, but one appears to be straight like a short sword and the other more curved like a scimitar.01:32:42And both blades have like intricate, like dragon motif to them in the, in the handle and the cross guard and all of that.01:32:51Um,01:32:53And Cassia Brightshield says, “Some of you are coming from the Order of the Lantern. Some of you have made it here through different paths.01:33:02But the one thing that unites you all is you strive to be…01:33:07Dragoons of Bahamut.01:33:09and01:33:11The Dragoons are our most sacred, noble order in the fight against the Sorrow.01:33:19They are the first and last defense against its rights.01:33:24and boast.01:33:25dire darkness.01:33:29And so with that, I formerly01:33:32formally hand you all off to one of the leaders of the Dragoons01:33:37canary01:33:39Golden Canary, Lia Amakiir.01:33:42And she kind of like does a little bowing gesture to the shorter elven woman with the black hair.01:33:51Um,01:33:51While Temerity is training, what is everyone else doing this morning?
Hazel
01:33:58I’m going to…01:33:59I gotta go to my job interview.
Rhysaene
01:34:01Yeah.
Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master
01:34:34Luma has to go to work. That’s right. Luma then we’ll do next because Luma also has an early start.
Luma
01:34:41Oh, shit.
Rhysaene
01:34:41Hmm.
Dungeon Master

Luma
01:34:45Yeah, Luma shows up at like 6.
Dungeon Master
01:34:48Luma shows up at, like, six.01:34:50Kessa doesn’t usually show up until seven,01:34:53but Luma has her own key.01:34:54Kessa learned early on that it was better01:34:57to let Luma let herself in,01:34:59if Luma wanted to work early,01:35:01than to, like…01:35:02have to deal with the repercussions otherwise.
Luma
01:35:06Thank you.
Temerity
01:35:06Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:35:06Um,01:35:07So you’re able to
Luma
01:35:08The repercussions is just Luma sitting out front already working at Luma or something.
Dungeon Master
01:35:11Uh,01:35:13Your notes have on occasion spilled over onto the face of the building when that happens.
Temerity
01:35:13Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:35:20When you run out of like on hand paper and
Temerity
01:35:20Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:35:25It’s not worth the cleanup.
Luma
01:35:25Hmph.
Dungeon Master
01:35:26Um,
Luma
01:35:27Bye.
Dungeon Master
01:35:27So you’re able to let yourself in, you get to work.01:35:30If there’s not anything specific you are doing while you’re there alone, then we can jump to your boss getting there.
Luma
01:35:38Yeah, no, she just…01:35:39going to be working on the report and
Dungeon Master
01:35:41Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Luma
01:35:42drying up everything.
Dungeon Master
01:35:45You guys would not believe how many different note tabs I’m having to have open right now.
Temerity
01:35:49Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:35:51Um,
Temerity
01:35:52like tab hopscotch.
Dungeon Master
01:35:52So, Alexa walks in.01:35:54Kessa, a gnomish woman,01:36:00Walks in, just, oh, hi, Luma. Nice to see you. I take it you finished the survey?
Luma
01:36:06Good morning, Gat. We finished yesterday.
Dungeon Master
01:36:08Good morning.
Luma
01:36:08I’m just.01:36:09working on the notes right now.
Dungeon Master
01:36:11Okay, okay, okay.01:36:12Well, when you’ve got everything finalized, just hand it to me and I’ll review it and then pass it along to the…01:36:17to the vaultsmiths.01:36:19um,
Luma
01:36:19Can do.
Dungeon Master
01:36:21And she nods and gets to her own work.01:36:25And while you’re doing that, you kind of like,01:36:28I’m not gonna make you give me like a fully itemized list,01:36:32but do kind of be thinking about01:36:33if there’s anything in particular01:36:35you want to be sure to include.01:36:37And if there’s anything in particular01:36:39you want to be sure not to include in these notes.01:36:44um,01:36:45Because it does matter what you do and don’t say.01:36:51um,01:36:52But you’re able to work on that kind of throughout the day.01:36:57Um,01:36:59Is there anything else Luma wants to do in the morning before really diving into that?
Luma
01:37:03No.01:37:06She gets to work and does not stop working until it’s done or she’s interrupted.
Dungeon Master
01:37:13then you have time to work on that.01:37:16Hazel, your interview is a little later in the day, say probably around like noon.01:37:22So if there’s anything Hazel wants to do in the morning, just to like,01:37:26get ready or anything like that, she can, otherwise,01:37:30I’ll come back to that when it gets a little later in the day.
Hazel
01:37:41Yeah, no, she doesn’t have anything that she wants to…01:37:45Do you?01:37:46Like, she’s definitely like, well, I got something to do today, so time to just, like, go do that.
Dungeon Master
01:37:51Yeah.01:37:52Uh-huh.01:37:54Iva and Rhys, morning comes to find both of you.01:37:57together in Rhys’s apartment.
Rhysaene
01:38:00Mm.01:38:02Um,01:38:02To clarify, is this?01:38:07The second of Nightdeep, is that today?
Dungeon Master
01:38:11The second of Nightdeep is tomorrow.01:38:13Today is the first of Nightdeep.
Rhysaene
01:38:13Thank you.01:38:15Okay, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:38:15So it would be tomorrow night would be the time on Iva’s note.
Iva
01:38:16Oh.
Rhysaene
01:38:19We’re at, okay.
Iva
01:38:19That’s good.
Rhysaene
01:38:21Okay.01:38:22Um,01:38:27I don’t really have anything in specific.01:38:30Ah, I think…
Dungeon Master
01:38:30That’s,
Rhysaene
01:38:31I think that, yeah, that,01:38:34Sorry.
Dungeon Master
01:38:35That’s fine. That’s totally fine. And I do want to like,01:38:39I do have stuff for Rhys that will…
Rhysaene
01:38:41Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
01:38:42You’re not, I’m not waiting for you to like trip a trigger.01:38:45I have stuff planned.
Rhysaene
01:38:45No, no, no, no. Don’t worry. I’m happy to…
Dungeon Master
01:38:47the,
Rhysaene
01:38:51to do
Dungeon Master
01:38:51the,
Rhysaene
01:38:52to wait.
Dungeon Master
01:38:53The next few sessions are probably going to be, in terms of in-game time, paced a little quicker than we’ve been used to so far.
Rhysaene
01:39:00Uh-huh.01:39:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:39:02So don’t worry about like01:39:04feeling like you have to come up with something.01:39:05But if there is anything, absolutely.01:39:07you know,01:39:08um,
Rhysaene
01:39:09Mm.
Dungeon Master
01:39:11Well, uh,01:39:12Absolutely feel free.
Rhysaene
01:39:13Can I…01:39:14Okay, okay, okay.01:39:16Um,01:39:17Can I, like, make…01:39:21I think the wrist is going to try and make this a good…01:39:25Oh, peace then.01:39:27I think that she’s going to try really hard to make…01:39:31hot, hot.01:39:33Um,01:39:35shine this time.01:39:37Um,01:39:38Is there a way I could do that mechanically?01:39:40Is there like a…
Dungeon Master
01:39:42So,01:39:46Crafting, which I guess this would fall under in 5e,01:39:49really doesn’t have a lot of complexity to it.01:39:53You’re making what is essentially an art object.01:39:57And the only real way you have mechanically to…01:40:03To to give it like any kind of like oomph.01:40:07is to throw more money at it.01:40:10Um,
Rhysaene
01:40:10- Hmm, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:40:11And01:40:11And that money would express itself in the form of like high quality paints, good canvas, that kind of stuff.01:40:17And the essential way it would work is…01:40:21If you spend 50 gold in materials and like a full day working on it,01:40:25you will have made a painting that if you can find the right buyer would sell for 100 gold.
Rhysaene
01:40:32Hmm.01:40:36Yeah.01:40:37All right.
Dungeon Master
01:40:37um,
Rhysaene
01:40:37Fuck it.
Dungeon Master
01:40:37Psst.
Rhysaene
01:40:38Let’s go buy some paints.
Dungeon Master
01:40:38So you…01:40:40So you head out to buy paints and supplies to really, like…
Rhysaene
01:40:43Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:40:46really put some heart into01:40:49this painting. And you can spend as much as you want on
Rhysaene
01:40:51Yes.
Dungeon Master
01:40:55On it,01:40:57And you’ll have to mark off whatever you spend.01:40:59And then essentially what you will have is a painting worth twice, whatever that was.
Rhysaene
01:41:03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Dungeon Master
01:41:06which isn’t to say you can just turn the painting into money.01:41:10Not everyone’s going to have 100 gold to buy a really nice painting.
Rhysaene
01:41:11Mm-hmm.01:41:13Oh, yeah. No, no, no.01:41:15I didn’t expect that.01:41:16Also that like01:41:17Grace is going to put like01:41:18effort.01:41:18She wants to keep in like
Dungeon Master
01:41:19Yeah.
Rhysaene
01:41:20attention and like01:41:22inspiration.
Dungeon Master
01:41:24If you could also…
Rhysaene
01:41:24I’ll find that inspiration from doing it.01:41:26She’s getting absorbed in this piece and she doesn’t know why.
Dungeon Master
01:41:30Yeah.01:41:31Um,01:41:32Yeah. So you head out to buy paint Iva. Is there anything you are…01:41:38you’re working on this morning.
Iva
01:41:39Other than disappointing that life hasn’t let her continue breathing.01:41:44Um,01:41:45No, she doesn’t have anything particular.01:41:47I think she would just…01:41:49try and stay like out of sight all day.
Luma
01:41:53Life doesn’t allow her? Are you kidding? Everything is self-inflicted so far.
Dungeon Master
01:41:53um,01:41:55I’m sorry.
Iva
01:41:57You’re welcome.
Temerity
01:41:57Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
01:41:57Um,
Luma
01:41:58I don’t know.
Iva
01:41:58Yeah, it’d be so much easier if she doesn’t stop existing for a moment.
Dungeon Master
01:42:02Also-01:42:04To your comment, Eylesis, I didn’t01:42:07I didn’t describe it at the time because Olivia was already familiar with the character.01:42:11The other dragoon standing next to Leah is like six foot four.
Luma
01:42:19I was just making a dumb joke.
Dungeon Master
01:42:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Temerity
01:42:21Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
01:42:22Um,

Dungeon Master
01:42:47like a,01:42:48like a barmaid, yeah, you head in,01:42:52The…01:42:53Oh my God, I have way too many tabs open.01:42:57um,01:43:06Sorry, I’m trying to find this.01:43:08Sterling Sovereign in my notes.01:43:14um,01:43:18You head into the Sterling Sovereign01:43:20As you become very familiar with them, the front of house person, the tiefling woman named Kessel is there waiting.01:43:29And she kind of looks at you and she says, do you want your usual table?

Hazel
01:45:05I mean, Toon’s01:45:07She’s just going to, I think that she would just wait.01:45:09should be a little annoyed that like,
Dungeon Master
01:45:11All right.
Hazel
01:45:12She was told to like01:45:14To wait and then.01:45:16that has to wait 20 minutes.
Dungeon Master
01:45:18Uh-huh.
Hazel
01:45:18a little bit.01:45:19um,01:45:21but I mean,01:45:22Hazel would just wait.01:45:24She’s not in the01:45:27She’s not in the01:45:30the mood to like…01:45:33fuck something up because of like pride.
Dungeon Master
01:45:35Yeah, you wait the 20 minutes and the door opens and in walks a half-elven woman…01:45:41Very difficult to pin down her age because of her elven lineage, but somewhere between 30 and 50.01:45:51um,01:45:52She is…01:45:55like a01:45:57like a dark brown hair, but with streaks of gray.01:46:03she’s dressed in a01:46:05like a deep green dress trimmed in silver. Um,01:46:09and she does not carry herself like staff.01:46:11She carries herself with like a lot of self-importance.
Hazel
01:46:15Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master
01:46:46when she looks at you,01:46:48um,01:46:50Like a look of pure, like, who let this person into this place.01:46:56That she very quickly covers up with a very polite and welcoming smile that would…01:47:03easily have hidden that from most people, but not from someone as01:47:08intuitive as Hazel.
Hazel
01:47:10I don’t know.01:47:13uh,01:47:17Shit, how would Hazel react to that?01:47:20Now I’m like, it’s Hazel.01:47:22I feel like01:47:23That’s a difficult question because part of me is like, I feel like Hazel, at that point,01:47:26she’d just like realize and then just kind of walk out.01:47:28I could do.

01:48:42You duck around the corner to lead to the bathroom, and in that dim shadow, you’re able to fucking disappear.01:48:48And you do, in fact, dart under tables, making your way out, undetected by anyone.01:48:55Um,
Temerity
01:48:56Awesome.
Hazel
01:48:59She just kind of mumbles, sorry, Rhys, under her breath, and she walks out like, yeah, sorry, Rhys, but this ain’t, this ain’t, I guess, I guess this, uh…01:49:07This opportunity ain’t worth it.
Rhysaene
01:49:09Huh?
Temerity
01:49:10Hehehehe.
Hazel
01:49:10Now, whoever the hell signed her up for an interview, that person should definitely be fired.
Temerity
01:49:16laughs
Dungeon Master
01:49:18Yeah, that’s true. Unfortunately, you just got Kessel fired.
Temerity
01:49:22Oh no.
Hazel
01:49:24Well, that’s, you know,01:49:26Whoops.
Dungeon Master
01:49:27Um, but your interview, you know what?01:49:30Your day just opened up like you did not think it was going to be open.
Hazel
01:49:35Yeah, yeah.
Temerity
01:49:35Thank you.
Hazel
01:49:38True.01:49:39Um,01:49:42So in the like lantern ward, there’s like a bunch of,01:49:47The there’s the.01:49:50Where is the, what was it?01:49:53It was like the…01:49:54The the anvil place.01:49:57The hammers, all of hammers.
Dungeon Master
01:49:58Uh.01:49:59the hall of the anvil.
Hazel
01:49:59All of them did this.01:50:02How would they handle?
Dungeon Master
01:50:04is is.
Luma
01:50:04One mistake has ingrained itself so hard we might as well just change the name of the location.
Dungeon Master
01:50:09I know, but it’s on my map.
Luma
01:50:10- Yeah.
Hazel
01:50:11I’m sorry.01:50:12Yeah, no, no.
Dungeon Master
01:50:12It says, pull of the anvil.
Temerity
01:50:13uh,
Luma
01:50:14Oh, man.
Dungeon Master
01:50:16It is in the Lantern Ward, so across a bridge.
Hazel
01:50:20Yeah.01:50:21uh,01:50:22Is it like near the water or is it like…
Dungeon Master
01:50:26Um…01:50:28It is, so I’m going to smash sync view.01:50:32It is this building that has the little thing on it.
Hazel
01:50:33Okay.01:50:35this one, right?
Dungeon Master
01:50:36Yes.
Hazel
01:50:36Yes.01:50:37Sorry, it’s hard to see the little thing.
Dungeon Master
01:50:39Yes, indeed. You can zoom in and move and whatever you need to do.
Hazel
01:50:43All right.01:50:44Uh,01:50:47them could be either01:50:49Well, either he lives in the lantern one or he crosses his bridge every day to go to work.01:50:55Damn.01:50:58That’s too much. That’s too much ground to cover. It’s like right dab in the middle.01:51:01Uh,01:51:04Hazel is going to go see if she can stop that dwarf guy to get his schedule.
Dungeon Master
01:51:08How are you getting into the Lantern Ward?
Temerity
01:51:08Hehehehe.
Iva
01:51:08Bye.
Hazel
01:51:08Thank you.01:51:11That is the thing is that she was going to see if she could just stay near the bridges to catch him coming back from coming coming to her back from this work, but.01:51:19because of that, like,01:51:20that discrepancy issues.01:51:22probably going to01:51:24Not to do that plan.
Luma
01:51:26If Hazel heads towards one of the bridges, Luma immediately leaves work to go meet her there because she has the map.
Hazel
01:51:31Dude.01:51:32True.
Dungeon Master
01:51:33Um,
Hazel
01:51:34Um,
Luma
01:51:34Luma’s like…01:51:36That map is next to her.01:51:37It’s an empty page to anybody who looks at it,01:51:39so it’s just kind of an pile of pages.01:51:40It is, like, out, and she’s constantly, like,01:51:43peeking at it curiously. She can’t help herself.
Hazel
01:51:45Mm-hmm.
Luma
01:51:46Thank you.
Hazel
01:51:46Yeah.
Temerity
01:51:46Hehehehe.
Iva
01:51:48She’s always, she’s mini Maxxing.
Hazel
01:51:48- Ah.
Luma
01:51:51Mm-hmm.
Hazel
01:51:51I think Hazel…01:51:52I think because of like…01:51:54the kind of day that she had,01:51:55I think the first thing Hazel’s going to do01:51:57is that she’s going to go home01:51:58and she’s going to meditate,01:51:59partially because I need to pick my spells for the day01:52:02and I haven’t done that yet.
Luma
01:52:03Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:52:06um,01:52:09I guess that will bring us back around to Temerity.
Temerity
01:52:15All right.
Dungeon Master
01:52:15um,01:52:16Cassia Brightshield kind of hands off the reins and steps out immediately. And this woman who you’ve not met, this woman, the shorter elven woman with her dual short blades, kind of looks over at the crowd.01:52:32Yeah.01:52:33Um,01:52:34She says,01:52:37I’ve got more important things to do.01:52:39Rhea handled this.01:52:41Andrew Bieronski: And she turns in leaves.
Temerity
01:52:43All right.
Dungeon Master
01:52:45grand, great,01:52:46Or a polite nod and says, you got it, boss.01:52:50She turns and she looks at you and she says, now,01:52:54You may be wondering why your commanding officer doesn’t feel like she has time for you.01:52:59And it’s because most of you are not going to be under her command.01:53:05Some of you will not be selected to be dragoons.01:53:10Some of you may choose not to become dragoons when you realize the amount of rigor you will be facing, and the amount of dangers that you will be putting yourself in front of.01:53:21And some of you will simply not have the fortitude for it.01:53:25Those of you who are left01:53:29will be among the finest…01:53:33fighting men and women in the world.01:53:40You will protect Argentum and the greater Silver Vale from…01:53:45the sorrow and its many threats.01:53:51But01:53:53To do that,01:53:54you have to be01:53:56held to the highest of standards.01:54:00And so over the next few weeks,01:54:02You will be trained in combat, you will be evaluated in combat, your physical endurance will be tested, your ability to follow orders will be tested, your mental rigor will be stretched to the peak.01:54:17you will01:54:20Learn…01:54:21you will learn a new language.01:54:23Learn how to speak the language of Bahamut himself if you do not already…01:54:29know that tongue.01:54:31um,01:54:32You will learn how to wield various weapons.01:54:35You will learn how to defend yourself against01:54:38Horrors.01:54:41And all of that begins today.01:54:44Um,01:54:46Before that,01:54:47more important than any of that. You will learn how to01:54:52rely on the people around you,01:54:56You will learn how01:54:58to work as a team,01:55:01You will learn how to depend on others and how to count on them.01:55:05to be there for you.01:55:07So with that in mind,01:55:10Um,01:55:11I need each of you to introduce yourselves.
Temerity
01:55:16- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:55:20uh,01:55:21And we’ll start with01:55:23you and she looks at Temerity.
Temerity
01:55:26All right.01:55:27Uh-huh.01:55:28Temerity will perk up a little bit.01:55:31Be like, hello?01:55:32My name’s Temerity.01:55:34Um,01:55:36I’m from Crick’s Bend.01:55:39and01:55:40I look forward to working with you all.
Dungeon Master
01:55:43Thank you.01:55:45And so a couple01:55:47Is that all you say?01:55:49There’s a couple non’s, a couple…01:55:51a couple of glances…01:55:55Um,01:55:56The elf with the messy, dark, long hair just kind of gives you, like, a look of total, like, derision.
Iva
01:56:02Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
01:56:04uh,
Temerity
01:56:04Yeah.
Dungeon Master
01:56:05He does not.01:56:06in any way bothered to hide the fact that he hates you.
Temerity
01:56:09Dude is out to get me.01:56:12Day one.
Dungeon Master
01:56:12Dude is about to get you day one.
Iva
01:56:14That is how…01:56:15That’s how it is.
Temerity
01:56:15- Yeah.01:56:16laughs
Dungeon Master
01:56:17Um,01:56:20Rhea gestures to Kyren.01:56:23who says, “I’m Kyren Lenara.01:56:28a member of the Order of the Lantern,01:56:30um,01:56:31I, um,01:56:35I wanted to do what would let me help the most people.01:56:40Um,01:56:41it may not be as…01:56:44It may be hard to become a Dragoon, but it’s what I want to do. I want to be01:56:50Someone that the people around me can depend on to protect them.01:56:55when things get…01:56:57difficult.
Temerity
01:56:59David Sloan: Maybe you’ll give that a smile.
Dungeon Master
01:57:04uh,01:57:06uh,01:57:08Rhea kind of goes around and she, she points at, uh, the different like cadets, um,01:57:14She points at a tall, powerfully built…01:57:18human woman with01:57:21dark skin and pale blue eyes, says, um,01:57:25I’m Mika.01:57:26Mika Voss.01:57:27um,01:57:29I, uh,01:57:30I don’t know what else to say. I want to fight the sorrow.01:57:33want to fight the monsters out there.01:57:36um01:57:38She does another nod and a young woman01:57:43Another human says, “I’m Maren.” Maren Frostburn.01:57:48I, uh…01:57:50lost my01:57:51Mother…01:57:53Uh-oh.01:57:54in a sorrow incursion. She was a light warden.01:57:57She was trained to fight sorrow and that training wasn’t enough.01:58:02I know it’s not.01:58:04I know it’s not, you know,01:58:06a good sign or what you’re supposed to do, but I want01:58:10I want to get back at the thing that took my mom from me.01:58:14um,01:58:15I was a light warden.01:58:17was able to go through all of that,01:58:18and I think I’m ready for this.01:58:27She continues.01:58:28She’s another half-elf.01:58:30um,01:58:31another half-elf woman, a human man,01:58:35Uh,01:58:36The half-elf woman says her name is Lyrian Gussert.01:58:39The human is Davin Recte.01:58:42uh,01:58:43Another human man, Silen.01:58:46And another…01:58:50And another human man, Torunn,01:58:59a01:59:01Another human woman,01:59:04who introduces herself as Gianna01:59:08curing01:59:09um,01:59:12another like01:59:14Another very like sturdy.01:59:18built.01:59:19Um,01:59:20kind of carries a hand, a big hand and a half sword, um, says, uh,01:59:28I’m just here. I’m just here.01:59:33I’m going to be honest, I didn’t choose to be here.01:59:36I was chosen to be here.01:59:37And I’m still not sure01:59:39Uh,01:59:40I want anything to do with this. It seems way more dangerous than being a light warden.
Temerity
01:59:45Ew.
Dungeon Master
01:59:46Um,01:59:47But I was asked, and so I am here,01:59:51um,01:59:52And then finally her gaze settles on the elf.01:59:55who has been01:59:57you know, an immediate thorn in your side.02:00:01And he says,
Temerity
02:00:02Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:00:04I don’t know.02:00:05I’m Emeric.02:00:07Emeric Vael.02:00:09um,02:00:14There are worse things outside these walls.02:00:18than a few sorrow corrupted animals.02:00:21Uh.02:00:24and I’m going to kill them.02:00:27And that’s all he says.
Temerity
02:00:36All right.
Dungeon Master
02:00:39um,02:00:42And, uh,02:00:44That’s that for the moment.02:00:48I guess we’re kind of like, if Iva or Rhys want to do something new, jump in.02:00:54Otherwise, I’m kind of going through the loop, and that loop takes us back to Hazel.02:00:59who was going to meditate and was considering doing other things.
Hazel
02:01:04Yeah.02:01:06Hazel finishes her meditation02:01:08Um,02:01:12and02:01:15Uh, she is…02:01:19thinking about doing things, but they are02:01:25Fairly.02:01:28Risk.02:01:31Uh,02:01:32considering her, oh,02:01:38her whole02:01:42like,02:01:43situation.02:01:44Um,02:01:46but she still is very interested in learning more about02:01:51the02:01:53the.02:01:53dwarf guy.02:01:56So she’s going to make her way over to…02:01:59the bridges near the lantern wards, but not02:02:01uh,02:02:03but not like crossing the lantern words.
Dungeon Master
02:02:06You make your way, which, do you care which bridge?
Iva
02:02:09Thank you.
Hazel
02:02:11Um, let’s do the North one because it has…02:02:14tree.
Dungeon Master
02:02:16as trees. So02:02:19Well, so the one right by the dancing sword or the one that’s more to the west?
Hazel
02:02:28The one that’s to the west, yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:02:33conveniently called the Westgate.
Hazel
02:02:36Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:02:36Um,02:02:38You head over there, Luma. You notice on your map, Hazel is approaching the West Gate Bridge.
Luma
02:02:43Oh, it’s lunchtime. I’ll be back.
Dungeon Master
02:02:46Alright!
Temerity
02:02:47Hehehehe.
Iva
02:02:48Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:02:48you head out quickly02:02:51um,02:02:53And since Hazel’s kind of like doing like a, like a, almost like a holding pattern around it, you’re able to…02:02:59to catch up to Hazel.
Luma
02:03:03I saw you on the map.
Hazel
02:03:05um,02:03:07Hello, my hope you’re well.
Luma
02:03:09Yeah.
Hazel
02:03:11um,02:03:12And yes, I,02:03:16was thinking about ways that I could02:03:19that I could02:03:21further our02:03:23investigation into the02:03:26histories of our gen
Luma
02:03:28Oh, that’s a good idea.
Hazel
02:03:28And.02:03:30As we spoke earlier, I believe that it’s within, uh, that02:03:35that.02:03:36A lot of information is within that one.02:03:40Uh, that one.02:03:41Uh, with Vaultsmith.02:03:44Oh.02:03:45that I spoke to at the, uh,02:03:49at the festival.
Luma
02:03:50Oh yeah, that guy was kind of mean.
Hazel
02:03:52She nods.02:03:54Mean, but…02:03:58perhaps for02:04:00vindicated reasons if what we saw down in the vault is true.02:04:05she kind of pats the tree that she was next to and she’s going, I was going to,
Luma
02:04:06Okay.
Hazel
02:04:11I was thinking of asking the trees if they’ve seen him.02:04:16- Thank you.
Luma
02:04:18You can talk to trees.
Hazel
02:04:20Uh,02:04:21She nods.
Luma
02:04:24or
Hazel
02:04:26Yes, though it02:04:28Mm-hmm.02:04:29It requires an implication, which I’m not sure, uh,
Luma
02:04:34Do you think that all trees know each other? Because if so…
Hazel
02:04:34It’s kind of like,
Luma
02:04:37I have a lot of things to apologize for.
Hazel
02:04:40laughs02:04:42She kind of laughs and02:04:46shakes her head and02:04:49uh,02:04:50Mm-hmm.02:04:52So there’s--02:04:54I don’t know.02:04:54If you’re referring to your family and their operations, I don’t believe that there is02:05:01uh,02:05:02much you need to apologize for the02:05:05- Yeah.02:05:07the, the,02:05:08The bear does not apologize for the deer after it goes in for the kill, and neither should you.
Dungeon Master
02:05:14um,02:05:16Has Hazel talked to a plant before?
Hazel
02:05:19No, because I just got speak with plants
Dungeon Master
02:05:22this level
Hazel
02:05:22of the public.
Dungeon Master
02:05:24So…02:05:25You only know what you’ve been told.02:05:28Your experience with talking to animals though already has kind of revealed to you that the way their consciousness works is very different from like a humanoid’s.
Hazel
02:05:36Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:05:37And from what you know, plant consciousness is even more abstract.
Hazel
02:05:42Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:05:42um,02:05:43you would know that, like, a tree doesn’t really have, like, a concept of, like…02:05:49pain.02:05:50So, like, something taking off its branch is more of, like, an inconvenience than, like, a wound.
Hazel
02:05:58Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:05:58um,02:05:59But you generally would know that the way02:06:04the way the like,02:06:06the way plants are conscious is very abstract compared to the way other things are.
Hazel
02:06:13A tree might get on you for your logging company, but a tree will.
Dungeon Master
02:06:16Oh!02:06:16Yeah, a treant would, like, if there was a treant near Erhadell, they might try to raze the city.
Hazel
02:06:17Yeah.02:06:23But.
Temerity
02:06:23Hehehehe.
Luma
02:06:24I feel like the elves do it that way where they grow the trees in such a way that when they chop them down, they’re not killing the tree and it keeps growing.
Hazel
02:06:33Uh,
Temerity
02:06:33uh,
Luma
02:06:33The tree singing or whatever.02:06:36magic that
Hazel
02:06:37Yeah.
Luma
02:06:38Forgotten Realms is.
Hazel
02:06:39And then I know that02:06:43I think like it was one of the very, very early sessions when we were going out of Argentina,02:06:48we passed by the logging company.02:06:50Hazel and Luma spoken, like Luma did mention that.02:06:53that that the the.02:06:56The logging company in Erhadell is pretty like02:07:00conservationalist-like forward.02:07:03They aren’t just cutting down trees and leaving them cut.
Luma
02:07:03Yeah.
Hazel
02:07:06They’re like planting.
Luma
02:07:07No, they,02:07:07They treat the forest like an entity.02:07:10So they always grow more than they take and all that kind of stuff.
Hazel
02:07:11Yeah.02:07:14Uh-huh.02:07:15Yeah, so to Hazel, she’s like, well, you know,02:07:19We can’t live with it.02:07:21we can’t live off the02:07:23off the land without taking from it.02:07:24So as long as we give back, like, it doesn’t matter.02:07:27Uh, that’s basically what she’s saying.02:07:29She’s like, no, you’re a creature who needs to live and02:07:32I think a way that we do that is like cutting down trees.02:07:35You don’t have to apologize.
Luma
02:07:38Very good.
Hazel
02:07:39Yeah.
Luma
02:07:39Um,02:07:40Did you want me to ferry you across the bridge?02:07:43And then leave you to it.02:07:44Or would you like me to come with you?02:07:45I’m on my lunch break, so I do have a little bit of time.
Hazel
02:07:48that.02:07:49of the city.
Luma
02:07:49I don’t want to impose or anything.
Hazel
02:07:51Mm-hmm.02:07:52That is what I’m…02:07:53I’m,02:07:54I’m02:07:56Like.02:07:57debating.02:08:00I don’t.02:08:02unsure if02:08:05if he commutes within the lantern ward or if he crosses the bridge every day.02:08:11Um,
Luma
02:08:13I have no idea.02:08:14I don’t even know his name.
Hazel
02:08:16Tetchy nonsense.02:08:17uh,02:08:17Like, yeah, me too.02:08:19Um,02:08:21Well,02:08:22Yeah.02:08:25Uh,
Luma
02:08:27Did Hazel ever mention that he had the weird coins?
Hazel
02:08:27and02:08:30Yes.02:08:30Yeah, yeah, that’s why she wants to talk to him.
Luma
02:08:31OK.
Hazel
02:08:32Like, that’s why she mentioned that, because she was like, yeah, yeah, we got to talk to this guy because of this.
Luma
02:08:38Um,02:08:39I mean, I could go, I can look for objects.02:08:43with the maps.02:08:45I could probably try and see if he’s got his coins.
Iva
02:08:47Thank you.
Luma
02:08:48If he’s nearby.
Hazel
02:08:50Mm-hmm.02:08:51Alan.
Dungeon Master
02:08:53I have an important question about locate object.
Luma
02:08:57Aha.
Dungeon Master
02:08:58If you were to look for like a specific coin02:09:01Like the one you’re like the kind that you.02:09:05you know he had. Is it only the nearest one, or is it all of them that ping?
Luma
02:09:10us.02:09:11The spell can locate a specific object known to you as long as you’ve seen it up close02:09:16within 30 feet at least once.02:09:19Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind.
Dungeon Master
02:09:22Nearest, okay.
Luma
02:09:23such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.
Dungeon Master
02:09:25Yeah.
Luma
02:09:26So we would have to put…02:09:28our coins that we got02:09:30Oh no, we didn’t take any of those coins actually.
Dungeon Master
02:09:32You didn’t take those coins.
Luma
02:09:33Yeah, we don’t have any on us.02:09:35because otherwise we could put it in my bag of holding.02:09:38Actually, we could put it in my lead line bag that you made me buy.02:09:43Uh…
Dungeon Master
02:09:44to contain the cube.
Luma
02:09:46- Yes.02:09:48Um, yeah, sorry. Yeah. It’s the nearest object of a particular kind of,
Dungeon Master
02:09:53Okay.
Luma
02:09:53Um,02:09:54So it has a certain kind of apparel, really a furniture tool.02:09:57So I figure, you know,02:09:59The kind of coin is specific enough that it’s not going to locate on any…02:10:03just coin.
Dungeon Master
02:10:04Yeah, no, no, no. You can be that specific. You could locate that kind of coin.
Luma
02:10:08Cool.02:10:12So I could do that if you want, or we could just go pay the place a visit.02:10:15I haven’t technically turned in my report.02:10:18So I think we’re still allowed to go02:10:21in.
Hazel
02:10:25Hazel kind of like,02:10:27Blake’s like, oh shit, that has not, I didn’t think that I, that we could just do that.02:10:31Uh,02:10:32Yes, that sounds like a good idea.02:10:37uh,
Luma
02:10:37Do you know his name?
Hazel
02:10:39cheap02:10:41Just…02:10:42fakes her head.02:10:43um,02:10:45And02:10:46says, I…02:10:49remember what he looks like, but a name.02:10:53Hello.
Luma
02:10:55- Yeah, we could probably work with that.
Hazel
02:10:55I don’t believe Hazel yet.02:10:58Well, and his temperament, I think, would be pretty standout.02:11:02He does seem a bit, uh,
Luma
02:11:04I’ll see you next time.
Hazel
02:11:04laughs
Luma
02:11:07Well, I don’t want to impose upon your investigation, but if you want help, I could go with you.
Hazel
02:11:11No, please, we are, we are, we are,02:11:14We are better when we work together.
Luma
02:11:16Okay.02:11:17We gotta go find a, a,02:11:19out of the way alleyway so that you can do your02:11:22really cool but kind of weird thing.
Hazel
02:11:24Yes, of course.02:11:27uh,
Luma
02:11:27uh,
Hazel
02:11:28They’ll find an alleyway and then he’s turned into a gerbil.
Dungeon Master
02:11:32- Yeah.
Luma
02:11:33Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:11:34Yeah, you’re able to use this ruse to get across the bridge, no problem.
Luma
02:11:39this ruse.02:11:40We really need to get you some papers.
Hazel
02:11:40You think?02:11:44Yeah, but the only way I could think about getting papers is by…02:11:48talking to some people I don’t want to talk to.02:11:50I don’t want to talk to the…02:11:54The friggin, the terrorists.
Luma
02:11:57Yeah.02:11:59Alright, yeah, Luma will cross the bridge with Hazel.02:12:03Um,02:12:04And then head on over to the…02:12:08All of the air booth.
Dungeon Master
02:12:09You head over to the Hall of the Anvil.02:12:11The main entrance area is, of course, open to the public.02:12:17You can go in and talk to a receptionist.02:12:19You see people coming and going.
Luma
02:12:21Oh, perfect.02:12:23We could ask the receptionist if…
Dungeon Master
02:12:24Yeah.
Luma
02:12:26If she knows him.02:12:28Have you ever…
Hazel
02:12:28Yeah.
Luma
02:12:29give them02:12:31his description.02:12:32and see if we could get--02:12:34get them to go find them for us.
Hazel
02:12:38exactly.02:12:40uh,02:12:42T-t-t.02:12:43Let’s go.02:12:44L for Connaissance team is a go.
Luma
02:12:47Yeah.
Hazel
02:12:47- -
Dungeon Master
02:12:47Um,02:12:48You head in, and there’s a person at the reception desk, a human man, um…02:12:56like deep red hair tied back into like a ponytail.02:13:00and a long red beard braided in dwarven style.
Luma
02:13:07Oh my God, culture appropriation.
Hazel
02:13:09- Boo!
Dungeon Master
02:13:09Bye.
Luma
02:13:10No.
Dungeon Master
02:13:10Um,02:13:12And he…
Luma
02:13:12Little approach says, oh, I like your beard.
Dungeon Master
02:13:14Oh, thank you.02:13:17I work really hard on that, so that’s appreciated.
Luma
02:13:20Yeah, I could tell.
Hazel
02:13:21It is a beautiful name.
Luma
02:13:22Ah.
Dungeon Master
02:13:23kind of tilts his head at Hazel, but like takes the compliment and nods.02:13:28Beautiful Maine.02:13:30I like that.02:13:30Actually,
Hazel
02:13:31Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:13:32What can I do for the two of you today?
Luma
02:13:35I’m part of the…02:13:38I’m blanking on my own title.
Dungeon Master
02:13:40Bureau of Infrastructure and Mapping.
Luma
02:13:40uh,02:13:42Yeah.02:13:42I’m part of the Bureau of Instructional Mapping.02:13:45Um,02:13:46And I was here the other day.02:13:48surveying the vaults and stuff like that.02:13:50And I asked the follow up questions.
Dungeon Master
02:13:50I don’t know.
Luma
02:13:53I was hoping that we could talk to one of the vaultsmiths that helped us02:13:56the other day, but I didn’t catch his name because we were kind of in a02:14:00Hurry to get started.02:14:01Um,02:14:02He kind of looked like that she gives his description because I don’t remember it.
Dungeon Master
02:14:07And so,
Hazel
02:14:07- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:14:10at.02:14:10Older dwarf, not elderly, but older, probably in his hundreds.02:14:16um,02:14:18Dark hair, like traditional dwarven beard.02:14:24Appearance-wise, not terribly remarkable.02:14:26It’s other traits about him that, like, you…02:14:30can give or not very.02:14:33loud spoken kind of every time you’ve met him,02:14:36he kind of smelled like whiskey.
Hazel
02:14:40She would definitely mention that temperature.
Luma
02:14:40He will include those…02:14:42Oh, sorry.
Hazel
02:14:42Oh yeah, sorry.
Luma
02:14:43Yeah.02:14:44No, you’re fine.02:14:45Yeah, I was going to say, Luma definitely includes those details, but tries to, like,02:14:50paint them in a sort of a nicer light,
Dungeon Master
02:14:51- Oh.
Luma
02:14:52but clearly still, like, you know what she’s saying.02:14:55Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:14:56- Ah, Hans.
Hazel
02:14:56Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:14:58Well.02:15:00Only person I know who… He kind of sighs and says, “I guess it’s not a secret.”02:15:06Drinking on the job, you’re looking for the master coiner.02:15:10Mm-hmm.02:15:11Dalric, Mastercoiner Ironmark, Dalric Ironmark.02:15:17He’s here. He’s probably down in the minting vaults.02:15:21Um,
Luma
02:15:21Oh.02:15:23Would it be okay if we went down there to see him?
Dungeon Master
02:15:25Absolutely not.
Luma
02:15:27All.
Dungeon Master
02:15:27The minting vault is highly restricted.
Iva
02:15:27I’ll see you next time.
Dungeon Master
02:15:31If it’s important, I can have someone…02:15:34go get him and bring him up.
Luma
02:15:37One more look to Hazel.
Hazel
02:15:40We’ll see you next time.02:15:41Well, I mean, it’s not like02:15:43urgent.02:15:45Well,
Luma
02:15:45Yeah, I mean…
Hazel
02:15:46We could just know whenever he gets off work.
Luma
02:15:52Can we leave a note with him to…
Hazel
02:15:53Yeah.
Iva
02:15:53Thank you.
Luma
02:15:55ask if he’ll show up at my office.
Dungeon Master
02:15:58- Oh, you could leave a note.02:16:01I don’t know if he’s going to02:16:03Unless there’s a good reason, I don’t know if he’s going to make a trip to someone else’s office, but I could certainly leave a note for him if you want.
Luma
02:16:10Um,02:16:13What if we left him a note to have him meet us at a tavern?
Dungeon Master
02:16:18The guy behind the counter laughs a little.
Hazel
02:16:21- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:16:21Um,02:16:25I think that’s a little…
Luma
02:16:25That was directed to Hesola.
Dungeon Master
02:16:27Oh, okay.
Luma
02:16:28No, sorry, it’s fine. I was just…
Hazel
02:16:29I mean, it’s not a bad idea.
Dungeon Master
02:16:29No, no, no.
Hazel
02:16:33I mean, honestly, like the Hazel’s like,02:16:37I’m not gonna lie, Hazel’s, like, entire plan was going to be, like, figure out where he is and then, like, ambush him in a dark alley and be like, tell me every day you know.
Luma
02:16:42Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:16:43Bye.
Luma
02:16:44I figured Luna’s trying to, like, make us succeed as best she can.
Rhysaene
02:16:44Thank you.
Hazel
02:16:46- Yeah.02:16:48Uh-huh.
Luma
02:16:51Yeah, she’ll scribble down a note.02:16:54That is just like02:16:56Um,02:16:58I’ll include her name in the fact that she’s part of the02:17:00the02:17:02Bureau of Vision Taxes.02:17:03And, um,02:17:04invite him to02:17:06a drink on her02:17:08If he’ll02:17:09answer some questions.02:17:11about the faults for her reports.
Dungeon Master
02:17:14All right.
Hazel
02:17:15Oh.02:17:16Hazel kind of like whispers into Luma’s ear and is like, you should draw the symbol that was on the coins.02:17:24get his attention that way, the coins that were in the vault.02:17:31’cause you’ll see that.
Luma
02:17:31Luma can…02:17:32Luma looks a little concerned because that wasn’t a vault we weren’t supposed to be in.
Hazel
02:17:36for you.
Luma
02:17:37I’ll see you next time.
Hazel
02:17:38Well, that’s the thing.02:17:38There’s a possibility that he…02:17:41Yeah, that is risky because, yeah, he might…02:17:43It might just immediately rad on us if we do that, but I’m02:17:47My hope is that he because of how like02:17:51angry he seemed when02:17:52they had that conversation02:17:55that he would see that and be like02:17:59and be like, hmm.02:18:02But yeah, no, that’s a good, that is a good point.
Luma
02:18:05Luma’s going to add02:18:08a little note at the bottom in Dwarvish Ruins.02:18:12Um…02:18:14That basically amounts to like…02:18:17enjoy a drink.02:18:19But she’s going to slip in…02:18:21one of the, um,02:18:25one of the symbols like in the rooms to kind of like hide it a little bit.02:18:29Um…02:18:34Yeah.02:18:35It’s not particularly well hit.
Dungeon Master
02:18:35what,
Luma
02:18:37No, I take that back.02:18:39I know exactly what I’m going to do. Hold on.02:18:41Uh,02:18:42Where’s my thing? My thingy, my thingy is02:18:45Uh…02:18:48As an action, you can touch a piece of writing up to one page in length and speak a creature’s name.02:18:51The writing becomes invisible to everyone other than you and that named creature for the next 24 hours.02:18:55Either you can do this to invisibility by touching the script,02:18:58Uh, one says she can’t be used again until the next time.02:19:00I’m going to use my illuminator tattoo and I’m going to add the mark to02:19:05Uh,02:19:06with a king to him so that only he can see it.
Dungeon Master
02:19:10What mark are you…02:19:12The double crescent moon from the coin…
Luma
02:19:15Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:19:16Okay.
Luma
02:19:16Yeah, she’s going to draw the fucking coin and just make it invisible.
Dungeon Master
02:19:20Okay, yeah, you can do that. You have his name now. This guy gave it to you, so that’s no problem.
Iva
02:19:21Thank you.
Luma
02:19:24Yeah.
Hazel
02:19:25- Can you see what you mean?
Luma
02:19:26Forgot I had that.02:19:27Oh, it’s such a cool feature.
Hazel
02:19:27Yeah.02:19:28Artificer.
Luma
02:19:30All right, that was one of my…02:19:32Actually, that wasn’t even a fusion.02:19:34That was just a thing I begged Kat to let me have.02:19:35It’s just a common little item.
Hazel
02:19:36They.
Luma
02:19:38um yeah i’m gonna use that i’m gonna make invisible uh note and then i’m gonna hand the note over to uh
Dungeon Master
02:19:45what
Luma
02:19:46Go ahead.
Dungeon Master
02:19:47What bar do you tell him to meet you at and when do you want him to meet you?02:19:52Presumably, and if you ask, this guy would tell you he gets off work at like 5.
Hazel
02:19:57Yeah, uh…
Luma
02:19:57Do you know?
Hazel
02:19:59The sterling silver is going to be out of the question, I think.
Iva
02:20:03- Okay.
Luma
02:20:03I feel like that place is too fancy for his kind of drinking habits anyway.02:20:07Do you know what kind of bars he likes or he goes to?02:20:10Does he ever talk about that?
Dungeon Master
02:20:11No, he doesn’t talk about it.02:20:15He leans in and he’s like, I think he just likes to drink, I’m going to be honest.
Hazel
02:20:19E.B.
Luma
02:20:20Yeah, okay, well…02:20:23The Sterling engine has private rooms.02:20:25The Dancing Sword doesn’t have private rooms, right?
Dungeon Master
02:20:28the day02:20:29In this word, it’s also an inn. You could get an inn room, but it doesn’t have private dining rooms.
Hazel
02:20:31the truth.02:20:35Yeah.
Luma
02:20:36Man, the fucking talk of the town of this dwarf taking two elves up to an in-room.02:20:40Jesus.
Dungeon Master
02:20:40This is…
Hazel
02:20:41Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Iva
02:20:41I’m sorry.
Temerity
02:20:42Bye.
Dungeon Master
02:20:42Two, like, tiny young elven women…
Rhysaene
02:20:43- You’re welcome.
Temerity
02:20:44laughter
Luma
02:20:44Mm-hmm.
Iva
02:20:45laughter
Hazel
02:20:46Hehehehehehehehe.02:20:49Hold on.
Luma
02:20:50That does not cross Luma’s mind at all.
Iva
02:20:50I think it’s worse for him.
Luma
02:20:52So she just says, yeah, we’ll just meet him with the dancing sword.
Hazel
02:20:56uh
Dungeon Master
02:20:56Oh.
Luma
02:20:57Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:20:57And what time are you asking him to meet you?
Hazel
02:21:01Uh, what?
Luma
02:21:01He gets one for five.
Hazel
02:21:04So it’s 6:30?
Luma
02:21:04Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:21:04Yeah, he gets…02:21:05He gets off at five, yes.
Luma
02:21:06He’s probably going to want to leave work and immediately go drink.
Hazel
02:21:09No, true. Select six.02:21:11or 5:30.02:21:13Depends on how long it takes to get across town.
Luma
02:21:16Luma will say, uh…02:21:20That they will be there at 530, but he can show up whenever he wants.
Dungeon Master
02:21:24Okay.
Luma
02:21:27Wow.02:21:28I mean, not whenever.02:21:30So I’ll say that he can show up when he gets off work.
Hazel
02:21:30Thank you.02:21:33uh,
Dungeon Master
02:21:33So,02:21:34to confirm02:21:35The note is…02:21:39A request to meet with Master Coiner, Dalric Ironmark.02:21:43You are stating that you are a…02:21:47Are you stating that you are a surveyor?02:21:51and you’re asking to ask follow-up questions about the vaults because you surveyed them,
Luma
02:21:57Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:21:58Do you leave your name?
Luma
02:22:00Yes.
Dungeon Master
02:22:01And then
Luma
02:22:02Yeah, it like starts off with like, hi, I’m Luma Dres working in the Bureau of, like she’s very like, like the whole thing.
Iva
02:22:03Thank you.02:22:04- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:22:05Gotcha.02:22:07Awesome.02:22:08Okay.02:22:09And then you conceal a double crescent moon identical to the…02:22:14Well, a drawing of the coin.02:22:16A drawing of the double crescent moon’s silver coin.
Luma
02:22:19She’s going to…02:22:21She’s going to say, we found this, and then that, and then she’s going to make that whole thing invisible.02:22:25So there’s a little bit of context to the drawing.
Dungeon Master
02:22:28Alright, locking it in.02:22:31Um, you…
Hazel
02:22:32Why do I feel like we’re about to make a terrible mystery?02:22:35But we’re doing it together.
Dungeon Master
02:22:38you, uh,02:22:40You put together your note, you conceal the hidden part of the message, you leave it with the attendant.02:22:45Um,02:22:46and you head off.02:22:49It’s still like02:22:51afternoon at this point.02:22:54um,02:22:56Is there anything else you want to do, especially since you are in the Lantern wards now?
Hazel
02:23:03You got to get back to work, right?
Dungeon Master
02:23:04Luma has worked still.02:23:06Luma has not finalized her report.
Luma
02:23:08Yeah, I still gotta finish up the maps and stuff.02:23:11But I can get you back across the bridge, or you can hang on my office if you want.02:23:15Whichever.
Hazel
02:23:16Um,02:23:18Yes, I would appreciate a ferry back. I apologize for the
Luma
02:23:22No, you’re fine.
Hazel
02:23:25And thank you. This was…
Luma
02:23:26uh,
Hazel
02:23:28This was far more than I would have been able to do by myself.
Luma
02:23:31Yeah.02:23:32Let’s go off the sword gate.02:23:35so that they don’t ask questions why I keep crossing the same bridge a bunch of times.
Hazel
02:23:39I’m sorry.02:23:40Good.02:23:41Yes, excellent, excellent point.
Luma
02:23:43Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:23:43Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:23:44Um,
Luma
02:23:44I imagine that we only spent like02:23:47I don’t know, like what, like a half an hour to do all of that?
Dungeon Master
02:23:49Yeah, that was not a lot of time.02:23:50That was pretty quick.
Luma
02:23:51Okay.02:23:52Yeah, I’m almost going to…
Dungeon Master
02:23:53Quick and dirty.
Luma
02:23:54ferry Hazel across the sword gate and then she’s gonna go get like a quick lunch02:23:59at the dancing sword so that it doesn’t, again,02:24:02doesn’t look like she’s crossing the same bridge.02:24:05She’ll probably cross the bridge again with a mug from the…02:24:10the tavern.
Temerity
02:24:11A souvenir mug.
Hazel
02:24:11Mm-hmm.
Luma
02:24:13Let’s just show that they’re like, oh, yeah, she went to lunch and came back, which isn’t something that she’s like, she’s done that before, I imagine.
Temerity
02:24:15Yeah.
Luma
02:24:18Yeah.
Temerity
02:24:18Uh,02:24:20It’s like a Whataburger cup.
Luma
02:24:21- Mm-hmm.
Hazel
02:24:22See, see, see, see, see.
Temerity
02:24:23I don’t know.
Luma
02:24:24Yeah, do they have like to-go flagons?
Temerity
02:24:25laughs
Dungeon Master
02:24:26No, they did not have it.
Luma
02:24:26Yeah.02:24:27Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:24:27I mean, that’s called bring your own flask.
Temerity
02:24:27- Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:24:29Thank you.
Temerity
02:24:30Hehehehe.
Luma
02:24:30Oh yeah, fair enough. Yeah, she makes her own cup on the way.
Hazel
02:24:33That’s nice.
Temerity
02:24:33laughs
Dungeon Master
02:24:34- Yeah.02:24:35Yeah, you guys are able to
Luma
02:24:38So,
Dungeon Master
02:24:39Finish that up and head off across the sword gate.
Luma
02:24:42I posted everything that I could remember.02:24:46Uh,02:24:47things that I included and things that I excluded.02:24:50in the game chat.
Dungeon Master
02:24:52Yeah, that is something I’m going to have to dive into between sessions.
Luma
02:24:56Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:24:56But I appreciate that.02:24:58Thank you.
Luma
02:24:58I’m.02:25:00I hope I didn’t gotcha myself by accident, but I think I was pretty…02:25:04thorough and all the details that we had all talked about.
Iva
02:25:07to catch it.
Temerity
02:25:07Mm-hmm.
Luma
02:25:07I don’t know.02:25:08If somebody…02:25:09seasons and02:25:11see something that I missed or did wrong, let me know.
Dungeon Master
02:25:15Um,02:25:16Temerity.02:25:19The rest of your day is some pretty rigorous physical02:25:23like testing, like, like grand pacer fitness test type shit.
Temerity
02:25:28Yes.
Dungeon Master
02:25:28You climb ropes and you do push-ups and you do like…02:25:35like combat drills with your chosen weapon.02:25:39At one point, like, everyone’s kind of broken off to kind of, like, demonstrate their fighting style and preference for weapons.02:25:47And Rhea Larnas comes over to you.02:25:50and says02:25:52So,02:25:52Pretty big hammer you got there.
Temerity
02:25:56Yeah.02:25:57um02:26:00It’s…02:26:03What feels most comfortable in my hands.
Dungeon Master
02:26:06gives her head a tilt and she says, I’m02:26:08Pretty strong lady myself.02:26:12You sure that’s not a little unwieldy?
Temerity
02:26:17Mm-hmm.02:26:18No?02:26:19I haven’t ran into any problems with it at least.
Dungeon Master
02:26:23interesting.02:26:25You’re not like emotionally attached to the hammer, are you?
Temerity
02:26:29uh,02:26:31I mean, it’s from my hometown, I’d prefer to keep it.
Dungeon Master
02:26:34Well, that’s fine.02:26:37keep whatever you want. Um, she reaches to her back and she pulls off, um,02:26:43A really beautiful Warhammer, so lighter than your Maul.02:26:48Um,02:26:49intricate, like,02:26:50light wooden shaft with like silver kind of like,02:26:56dragon tail almost pattern wrapping around it up to the head,02:27:00which is just like a big hunk of metal that kind of comes to like one of the two heads is like,02:27:07shaped into the shape of, like, a dragon’s head,02:27:11and then, like…02:27:12like in carved into it is like the pattern of wings.02:27:17onto the back02:27:18of the the hammers.02:27:20the hammer shaft and it’s obviously as a war hammer,02:27:23it’s smaller,02:27:24um,02:27:24lighter can be wielded one or two handed,02:27:27um,02:27:28Um,02:27:30But the thing that immediately stands out to you is the metal of this hammer.02:27:35is02:27:36like this very bright silver looking metal.02:27:39And you know, like Damascus steel,02:27:43that kind of like ripply pattern.
Temerity
02:27:45Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:27:46It’s like that, but the ripples are constantly, like, slowly moving.
Temerity
02:27:51Hee hee hee.02:27:52Oh…02:27:53That looks sick.
Dungeon Master
02:27:55And she says,02:27:58For the dragoons, we don’t have…02:28:00lanterns, we don’t have02:28:02tabards, we don’t have badges.02:28:05Um,02:28:06A dragoon is marked by their fang.02:28:09and she holds it up for you to take it.
Temerity
02:28:13- Uh, Temerity.02:28:15Very graciously will take it and it’s like oh, okay
Dungeon Master
02:28:19Amen.02:28:22kind of looks at you, but holds back saying what she’s thinking for a second. She says,02:28:28um,02:28:29If you’re chosen, a Fang will be made special for you.
Temerity
02:28:34Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:28:34Um,02:28:37and,02:28:38I’m going to be honest, you’re going to want to use it. Sorrowsworn and other02:28:44things, um,02:28:46of that kind are02:28:49particularly dangerous and weapons made to fight them are02:28:54preferred and in some cases required.02:28:57So I ask you again, are you going to be all right?02:29:01with a new weapon.
Temerity
02:29:06Maybe nods.02:29:07Um,02:29:09It’s like02:29:10I think.02:29:11as02:29:12Hold on.02:29:14I had to recenter myself real quick.02:29:19Um…02:29:22Temerity nods.02:29:24And, uh,02:29:27says what’s going to help me fight against the sorrow of the best is02:29:31what I’ll use and if it’s a fang, it’s a fang.
Dungeon Master
02:29:34She says it’s a thing.
Temerity
02:29:36Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:29:36And holding this weapon02:29:39You cannot deny this thing has like…02:29:43an aura to it.02:29:45Um,02:29:46It’s like cold to the touch.02:29:49There’s almost a feeling02:29:52in holding it that,02:29:53It’s very different from the experience of like your rage, but there’s still something that reminds you of that moment of impact when you’re like raging and you’re full of silver fire and those little like motes that crackle when you smash into something.02:30:07There’s something familiar in this weapon to that sensation.
Temerity
02:30:11Ooh.
Dungeon Master
02:30:13Um,02:30:15And you kind of hold it and she like reaches out and grabs it by the haft and takes it back from you.02:30:21um,
Temerity
02:30:21Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:30:23If you’re selected and it’s important to you, we could probably work some part of your existing hammer into your fang.02:30:29But the metal has to be02:30:32specially made.02:30:35and blessed.
Temerity
02:30:35if02:30:37If you could do that, that would…02:30:38mean a lot to me.
Dungeon Master
02:30:42That’s if you’re selected, of course.02:30:43And she kind of says that with kind of a like…02:30:45Almost like a challenge.
Temerity
02:30:47He, he, he, he, Temerity will smile at that.02:30:50Yeah.02:30:52Of course.02:30:57Well, I’ll prove that.02:30:59Yeah.02:31:01I’ll prove worthy of it.
Dungeon Master
02:31:03Um,02:31:05And duh.02:31:07Because this is not the first magic weapon you’ve held.02:31:09Because you’ve held the, like, the really nice, the hand axe.
Temerity
02:31:13Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:31:13Although I guess Temerity doesn’t know that was magic.
Temerity
02:31:16Uh…
Dungeon Master
02:31:17Um,
Iva
02:31:17It’s true.
Dungeon Master
02:31:18And what,02:31:19What adds to that delusion…02:31:22you don’t really feel anything special from the handex.02:31:24Like you can tell it’s nice,02:31:26but it doesn’t make you feel anything.02:31:28This weapon is like, it’s, the metal is moving.02:31:32It’s weirdly cold to the touch.02:31:34The first second you touched it,02:31:36that like hairs on the back of your neck stood up almost.02:31:39There is like,02:31:40There is something to this weapon that is like sets it apart from that hand axe.
Temerity
02:31:46Oh, yeah.02:31:46This is like…02:31:48It’s the real deal.
Dungeon Master
02:31:50It’s the real deal.02:31:52um,02:31:53And hey, if you make it, you get your very own.
Temerity
02:31:56Hee hee!02:31:58- Good.
Iva
02:31:58I don’t like hearing this because it sounds like another, like, hits shapeshifters real hard weapon.
Temerity
02:32:04Hee hee hee hee hee hee.
Dungeon Master
02:32:06hit somebody real hard weaponed.
Temerity
02:32:07Hit someone real hard.
Dungeon Master
02:32:10Uh,02:32:12she goes back and it’s more,02:32:14it’s the rest of the day is more of the same.02:32:17um,
Temerity
02:32:17Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:32:18It’s at02:32:20The entire time you’re having that conversation, actually, give me a perception check.
Temerity
02:32:25All right.02:32:27Let’s see.02:32:30Ooh, not 20, 23.
Dungeon Master
02:32:32NAT 202302:32:34the entire time you’re having that conversation,02:32:38you notice that,02:32:40Kyren and Emeric are having a conversation off to the side.02:32:43You can’t hear what they’re saying,02:32:46and even if you could,02:32:46paying attention to two conversations at the same time02:32:49would be really hard.02:32:50But you can tell Emeric is, like, fucking staring daggers02:32:54at you every other, like…
Temerity
02:32:56What is this dude’s problem?
Dungeon Master
02:32:57few minutes.
Temerity
02:32:59- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:33:00He just fucking hates you. He doesn’t like you.
Rhysaene
02:33:00Oh.
Temerity
02:33:02Dude hates me. I need to confront him.
Hazel
02:33:04You’re a health worker.
Dungeon Master
02:33:04Um,02:33:05But I feel like with the nat 20…02:33:08Something you do pick up on02:33:12He has this weird hate of you.02:33:13You are not the only person he seems to have it for.02:33:17You’ll catch him staring daggers at almost everyone here.
Temerity
02:33:21Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
02:33:22In fact, the only person he doesn’t seem to have negative, like…02:33:27negative feelings towards is a Kyren.
Temerity
02:33:31Hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:33:33Huh?
Hazel
02:33:34I just said, yeah, wait, sorry.
Temerity
02:33:35Hehehehehehe.
Dungeon Master
02:33:36- See how we…
Luma
02:33:36Thank you.
Rhysaene
02:33:36Oh.
Temerity
02:33:37Yo
Luma
02:33:37Are they?02:33:39Were they the two elves?
Temerity
02:33:39- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:33:40Uh,02:33:41Kyren is a half-elf.02:33:43and very clearly less elven.02:33:45Emeric is indeed in health.
Luma
02:33:49are racist.
Temerity
02:33:51Maybe.
Dungeon Master
02:33:51No, the…02:33:52Like Lia Amakiir’s an elf, he didn’t seem to like her very much either.
Temerity
02:33:54We’ll find out.02:33:58laughs
Luma
02:33:58Fair.
Hazel
02:34:00Mm-hmm.
Luma
02:34:00Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:34:01Uh, so.
Temerity
02:34:03Dude’s a weirdo.
Dungeon Master
02:34:03Maybe racist, but it seems like maybe something else.02:34:06But that goes on for the rest of the day,02:34:08and around 5, you are dismissed to your own devices,02:34:12expected to return the next morning for more of the same.
Temerity
02:34:16Okay, whenever it ends, Temerity is going to approach Emeric.
Dungeon Master
02:34:23Alright.02:34:24He’s02:34:25He’s…02:34:26wipes some sweat off his forehead and stows, they don’t have scabbards because they’re picks,02:34:33but stows on his belt the pair of war picks he carries and he sees you like approaching and you just sighs.
Temerity
02:34:40He, he, he, he, he, he.02:34:42- Yeah, Temerity walks up and is like,02:34:47So what’s the deal?
Dungeon Master
02:34:52You just have the look of it02:34:54He kind of paused for a second.02:34:57You have the look of someone who’s a little too…02:35:02a little too sold on it all.
Temerity
02:35:08- -02:35:11laughs02:35:13on,02:35:15what, Dragoons, the…02:35:18Lightwardens Argentum.
Dungeon Master
02:35:23the pageantry of it, the fucking…02:35:27The pomp and the circumstance and the cult shit.
Temerity
02:35:32uh
Dungeon Master
02:35:33you reek of a true believer.
Temerity
02:35:38If02:35:42- You misunderstand respect.02:35:44for naive following.02:35:48That’s on you.
Iva
02:35:51Like,
Dungeon Master
02:35:51I just heard you02:35:53use the word respect like that,02:35:55I know naive following when I see it.
Temerity
02:35:58I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
02:36:00You…02:36:01And your little friends in this little02:36:04group of trainees have no idea what’s out there.
Temerity
02:36:10Mm-hmm.02:36:11he just like crosses their arms is like02:36:18Well, go on.
Dungeon Master
02:36:21- Yeah.02:36:22He laughs, and it is a, like…02:36:25It is like a deep kind of like…02:36:30I don’t know, a condescending laugh.
Temerity
02:36:34Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:36:34And he kind of leans in close.02:36:37And he says, “It’s not my job to02:36:41To tell you that.02:36:42You’ll figure it out if you make it, don’t worry.
Temerity
02:36:46Well,
Dungeon Master
02:36:46There are things much worse than Sorrowsworn out there.
Temerity
02:36:51Can I insight him?
Dungeon Master
02:36:53Yeah, go for it.
Temerity
02:36:55All right.02:37:00That’s going to be a 15.
Dungeon Master
02:37:03What do you- what is it- what do you- what is this- what is the onus of this insight check? What do you kinda suspect?
Temerity
02:37:09To see how…02:37:11Veteran.02:37:13Emeric is.02:37:14Because Temerity doesn’t want to…02:37:19doesn’t want to assume02:37:21that02:37:23They’ve seen worse.02:37:24But…
Dungeon Master
02:37:25Uh-huh.
Temerity
02:37:28at the same time Temerity like,02:37:31Temerity feels like she could…02:37:33they could see it in their eye.02:37:35If they’ve encountered something at least Sorrowsworn-esque.
Dungeon Master
02:37:42You02:37:44With a 15, I feel like you don’t pick up any, like…02:37:50There’s no bravado here.02:37:53There’s no like false like02:37:55There’s arrogance, absolutely.02:37:57But there’s nothing that, like…
Temerity
02:37:58Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:38:00It’s not like Dorian Draken.02:38:02There’s none of that vibe.
Temerity
02:38:04Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:38:05um,02:38:06But…02:38:07the thing you pick up the most is02:38:10Is that02:38:13this guy is very hard to read.02:38:16Like,02:38:17you02:38:18you see what is there and going like reading,02:38:22like in the expression and the tone in the like,02:38:26it is very difficult to suss out, um,02:38:30anything that wasn’t deliberately allowed to…02:38:34Express.
Temerity
02:38:35Yeah.02:38:36Okay.
Dungeon Master
02:38:36Um,02:38:37And that is something that comes with practice, not just02:38:42how a person is.
Temerity
02:38:47- Well, in that case,02:38:50Temerity’s gonna…02:38:52Hehehehe.02:38:56I don’t know how to describe it.02:38:57Not like place a hand on his shoulder02:38:58and not like firmly smack,02:39:00but you know what I’m talking about?02:39:01The like…02:39:02Kaboom!02:39:04the kapoomp of their hand on his shoulder.02:39:08And it’s just like…02:39:10Well, I hope to live up to your expectations.02:39:11Uh,02:39:14and02:39:15Hopefully we do fight more than just Sorrowsworn out there.
Dungeon Master
02:39:18Um,
Temerity
02:39:18I hope to take it all on.
Dungeon Master
02:39:21He…02:39:23shifts very slightly…
Temerity
02:39:26Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
02:39:26but doesn’t remove your hand or anything, and he smiles,02:39:31and it’s that kind of same condescending smile, and he says…02:39:35If you live, you will have exceeded my expectations.02:39:38And he turns and walks off.02:39:40And you can give me a perception check.
Temerity
02:39:47that’s going to be a 16.
Dungeon Master
02:39:4916 is very good.02:39:51As he walks off, you see him take his hand off the handle of the bone war pick.02:39:57You did not see him put it on there.
Temerity
02:40:00Shit.02:40:01Paranoid motherfucker.
Dungeon Master
02:40:09Other than that, Temerity’s free for the day.
Temerity
02:40:13All right.02:40:14Um…02:40:17Hmm.02:40:18Temerity wasn’t expecting really to have free time, but Temerity didn’t really know what to expect.
Dungeon Master
02:40:23Yeah.
Temerity
02:40:24So,
Dungeon Master
02:40:24It’s kind of, to be fair, it is kind of a, like…02:40:28We’re also playing D and D a lot of allowance kind of deal.
Temerity
02:40:30Yeah.02:40:32Yeah.02:40:34So yeah, Temerity.02:40:37can tell where everybody in the party is right because of the maps
Dungeon Master
02:40:40- True.02:40:42Yes.
Luma
02:40:42Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:40:42You all know where each other is.02:40:44So you would know that02:40:46Hazel and Luma have met up and seem to have gravitated towards the dancing sword.
Temerity
02:40:52Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:40:52All right.02:40:52um,02:40:56you know that Rhys and Iva are at Rhys’s apartment.02:41:00Although Rhys and Iva,02:41:01you are both aware that Hazel and…02:41:03Um,02:41:04Luma have met up and are heading to the dancing sword.
Rhysaene
02:41:07Oh.
Iva
02:41:07Right.
Rhysaene
02:41:10Oh, um…02:41:11I will…02:41:12Also say that02:41:15Yeah, I’ll go out and spend 70 gold on paints.
Dungeon Master
02:41:19Okay.02:41:20So your painting will be an art object with a value of 140 gold pieces.
Rhysaene
02:41:27Mm-hmm.
Temerity
02:41:33Yeah.
Rhysaene
02:41:33Yes.02:41:34Oh, oh, mock.02:41:36I’ll mark that down.
Dungeon Master
02:41:38Nice.
Temerity
02:41:41Temerity will wander their way over to the dancing sword.
Dungeon Master
02:41:41um,02:41:44Temerity’s heading towards the swords…02:41:47um,02:41:49What is Iva in the wrist up to other than having spent money on paints?
Iva
02:41:56I was laying in bed depressed.
Dungeon Master
02:41:59Thank you.
Iva

Dungeon Master
02:42:00Okay.02:42:02that’s for sure easy to do.02:42:06You are…02:42:08You can’t help but be like…02:42:14drawn back to this problem you’ve created for yourself over and over. You asked the Tarnar02:42:19Syndicate for work and it looks like whoever left you this note has found work for you.
Iva
02:42:25Yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:42:28um,02:42:31But, uh,02:42:33Luma and Hazel, of course, make it to the dancing sword first.02:42:38Um,02:42:39presumably after Luma finishes work and hands in the notes and all of that.02:42:45um,
Luma
02:42:45Oh, sure.
Dungeon Master
02:42:47So we’ll do that.02:42:48But before that, I would like a short break.02:42:50So if anyone else needs a short break.
Rhysaene
02:42:51Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:42:52Now is a good time for a couple minutes of
Rhysaene
02:42:54Okay.
Luma

Dungeon Master
02:42:56break.
Temerity
02:42:57Okay.
Hazel
02:42:59Sounds good.
Rhysaene
02:43:01American…
Hazel
02:43:01I can’t help.
Rhysaene
02:43:03- Well, yeah.
Temerity
02:43:03Hmm.
Hazel
02:43:04I was gonna say, I can’t help but feel like in the back of my mind that Luma and Luma and I have made a terrible mistake.
Temerity
02:43:11Hehehehe.
Luma
02:43:12Well,
Rhysaene
02:43:12Yeah.
Hazel
02:43:12Thank you.
Luma
02:43:13I mean, the only thing is if02:43:15If anybody decides to like, for whatever reason, run a detect magic at the receptionist’s area.
Temerity
02:43:21Or if this guy turns us in.
Hazel
02:43:22Oh, no, I mean, I mean, this guy.02:43:24Yeah, yeah, like the guy.
Luma
02:43:25Yeah, that’s entirely possible.02:43:29I guess we’ll find out.
Rhysaene
02:43:30Okay.
Hazel
02:43:30Yeah.
Temerity
02:43:30Hehehehe.
Hazel
02:43:32I’m in the camp that he’s not going to.02:43:34I think that he’s going to see…02:43:37that we know our stuff, and it’s going to be like, oh, shit.
Rhysaene
02:43:43You respect the old ways.
Temerity
02:43:45Heh heh heh heh heh.
Hazel
02:43:46Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
02:43:48- Yes.
Temerity
02:43:48What were you going to say earlier?
Rhysaene
02:43:51Oh, I was gonna say, Temerity’s fucking in it now.
Temerity

Rhysaene

Temerity

Iva
02:46:20If they’re not socially acclimated, you get what she was before.
Rhysaene
02:46:33Do you prefer if it’s just a Luma Hazel scene or do you want Rhys and Iva to tag along as well?
Hazel
02:46:42- Well, I think Temerity is there,02:46:44It’s not a…

Rhysaene
02:46:46Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hazel

Hazel
02:47:35-02:47:36I want to follow the one lead Kat gave us instead of just constantly like doing like just conjecture on things that we know.
Temerity
02:47:36Ooh.02:47:45Hehehehe.
Hazel
02:47:45Good.
Luma
02:47:46I don’t know.

Temerity
02:47:56Oh, welcome back.
Iva
02:47:56Welcome back.
Hazel
02:47:56I’ll come back.
Rhysaene

Temerity
02:47:58Kat, I hope that there’s a sparring section of the Dragoon training
Dungeon Master
02:48:02Um,
Temerity
02:48:02I either want to get my ass kicked by Emeric or kick Emeric’s ass.
Iva
02:48:04No, no, you don’t.02:48:06- No.02:48:07Nope, nope, as someone who’s been there, no you don’t.
Luma
02:48:10-
Temerity
02:48:10Yeah, I do.
Iva
02:48:10That’s how you get head traumas.
Temerity
02:48:13Temerity doesn’t worry about head trauma.02:48:17-
Iva
02:48:17Thank you.02:48:18I forgot this is fantasy.
Dungeon Master
02:48:19You need to worry about head trauma.02:48:20Your low-level ass resurrection does not cure head trauma.
Temerity
02:48:25He doesn’t know that.
Luma
02:48:26Thank you.02:48:29It’ll look.
Dungeon Master
02:48:29- Yeah.
Luma
02:48:30That’s it.
Temerity
02:48:31laughs
Dungeon Master
02:48:33Um,02:48:36So what’s everybody doing?
Temerity
02:48:43heading to the dancing sword.
Rhysaene

Luma
02:48:45Yeah.
Dungeon Master

Iva
02:49:04Iva slowly rolls out of bed knowing not to fight Rhys.
Rhysaene
02:49:10Thank you.
Dungeon Master
02:49:11Um,
Rhysaene
02:49:11We’re going out to get drinks.
Iva
02:49:13There it goes. Oh, okay.
Dungeon Master
02:49:17You all start heading that way. Meanwhile, Luma and Hazel02:49:22You’re already at the dancing sword.02:49:25headed over there presumably at 5:00.
Hazel
02:49:29Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:49:30um,02:49:32not long after02:49:35a familiar looking dwarf walks in.02:49:40um,
Hazel
02:49:41Hazel kind of like does the little head nod to be like, “Look, look, he’s here.”
Dungeon Master
02:49:46He’s looked
Luma
02:49:46Love how I was at him excitedly.
Dungeon Master
02:49:47He’s a little…02:49:48Looking around, but when Luma waves, he kind of…02:49:51Um,02:49:54and walks on over.02:49:56So you’re the ones who left me that note.
Luma
02:50:00Yeah, hi.
Dungeon Master
02:50:03-02:50:05He seems very grumpy.02:50:09um,02:50:10Uh, since well,02:50:13Mm-hmm.02:50:14Barkeep.02:50:15And whiskey.02:50:17And keep it coming.02:50:20and the server.
Hazel
02:50:21You don’t want that, man.02:50:22site.
Dungeon Master
02:50:24Mm-hmm.02:50:25server nods and heads over to02:50:29He looks at you two and says, you two want anything?
Hazel
02:50:34- Oh, yeah.02:50:35Yeah.02:50:36Hazel will get her usual, which I believe is also whiskey.02:50:40Um,
Dungeon Master
02:50:41Uh-huh.
Hazel
02:50:44And yeah, that’ll be all. She’s not going to get food or anything, because she…
Dungeon Master
02:50:47- Yeah.02:50:51Um,02:50:55You’re paying for my drinks.
Luma
02:50:58If you answer your questions.
Dungeon Master
02:51:03I don’t think--02:51:06I don’t think I like where this is going. What do you want? Well, let’s start at the beginning.02:51:12What’s with the coin you drew on my…02:51:14You said you found it. What do you mean you found it?
Luma
02:51:18I’m a Luxor Hazel.
Hazel
02:51:20uh,02:51:21shit. I mean, like,02:51:23I don’t know.02:51:24Are we…02:51:25Are we willing to tell them that we definitely broke the law?02:51:29Or like, well, no.02:51:31uh,
Luma
02:51:31Yeah.
Hazel
02:51:32You may not.02:51:35You may not remember this, but uh.02:51:39during the02:51:41uh,02:51:41during the, what was it?02:51:42It’s like the Festival of Lantern?
Dungeon Master
02:51:44The Festival of Bells.
Hazel
02:51:46Festival bells.02:51:48Yes, a lot of02:51:50of objects.02:51:51festivals.
Dungeon Master
02:51:52Oh, yeah.
Luma
02:51:53Yeah.
Hazel
02:51:53Um,02:51:55uh,02:51:57During the.02:51:58Um,02:52:03during the Festival of Bells, we spoke02:52:08And you asked me a question pertaining to02:52:12pertaining to a02:52:15uh,02:52:16a case of coins that you keep on you.02:52:18um,
Dungeon Master
02:52:20He kind of reaches for like a pocket in his coat.
Hazel
02:52:20You’re right.02:52:24um,
Dungeon Master
02:52:24but doesn’t pull anything out, groans.
Hazel
02:52:27You asked me,02:52:28uh,02:52:31You asked me if I believe those coins were02:52:35I know that the date changed, so it’s what, 200 years old now?
Dungeon Master
02:52:38seven,02:52:39uh,02:52:401700 years old.
Hazel
02:52:421700 years old.02:52:44You asked me if those coins were over 1700 years old.02:52:48And02:52:50I, uh,02:52:52laughs02:52:53I dismissed the question, but now I02:52:57I know better.02:52:58Um,02:53:00I know that they are02:53:02I know that they are not.02:53:04that02:53:05They’re not that old.02:53:07and I want to know what you know.
Dungeon Master
02:53:11by the damn flame.02:53:13What stupid…02:53:15Oh, brother.
Iva
02:53:18Oh, boy.
Dungeon Master
02:53:20I don’t know.02:53:21Whatever I said to you…02:53:23I was drunk. I think I remember you.02:53:27Remember some annoying little elf came up to me.02:53:30Trying to talk while I was drinking.02:53:33I think I might remember saying something stupid and02:53:37and drunken about the damn coins.02:53:41It’d be in both our best interests if you’d forget that ever happened.
Hazel
02:53:48I can’t.02:53:50Because she, like…02:53:52uh,02:53:55- Ah, I know.02:53:58I’m afraid I can’t really.02:54:00I can’t really.02:54:02um,02:54:10I don’t know if I want to use like the nuke.02:54:14uh,02:54:15the nuke question.
Dungeon Master
02:54:15Truth nuke.
Hazel
02:54:16Yeah, I don’t know if I want to use like the truth new question just yet, just in case
Temerity
02:54:16laughing
Dungeon Master
02:54:24You are also sitting in, like, a public tavern at the, like, tavern floor during, like, dinner hour.
Hazel
02:54:24Uh,02:54:30Yeah, I imagine…02:54:32That is true. I would imagine that because it’s like dinner hour would be loud in there.
Dungeon Master
02:54:36It is. Oh, yeah. No, it is.
Hazel
02:54:39uh,
Dungeon Master
02:54:39That’s very true.
Hazel
02:54:45But I guess, yeah, I can try and ask what.02:54:50and02:54:52Well, I guess I’ll ask the…02:54:55If it’s okay, because this is kind of like a big thing that would implicate a lot of us into like,02:55:01getting in trouble.02:55:03And I don’t want to make that decision like just by myself.02:55:08If it’s okay, if I could ask you guys, like, is it okay?02:55:11What do you guys think of if I say this kind of thing?02:55:15I know that that’s kind of like
Dungeon Master
02:55:15Yeah.02:55:17I’m fine with a little bit of that. It is kind of a big…
Hazel
02:55:17Now you get started.
Temerity
02:55:17I had a character.
Hazel
02:55:20I was going to, she was going to be like, what does the name, what is it, Fardrimm mean to you?02:55:26Or Faradim?
Dungeon Master
02:55:26or them.02:55:28So Fardrimm and Faradum,02:55:31are the two02:55:33related.02:55:34um,
Luma
02:55:36We’ve found02:55:38Fardrimm.02:55:39in one of the vaults we were allowed to be in.02:55:42It was in one of the journals in the…
Hazel
02:55:43Yes.
Luma
02:55:46uh…02:55:49one of the apartments, right?
Hazel
02:55:51Yes, okay, yeah, you’re right.
Dungeon Master
02:55:52Yes.
Hazel
02:55:54Yeah.02:55:54Same far journey.
Luma
02:55:54So,02:55:55We’re allowed to know about Fardrimm. We are not allowed to know about Faradun, necessarily.
Hazel
02:56:04So.02:56:04I think,02:56:05saying,02:56:08uh,02:56:09Fargrim is…02:56:11is a safe bet.
Luma
02:56:14We also don’t know what Fardrimm means.
Hazel
02:56:14Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:56:17Well,02:56:19You know it doesn’t…
Luma
02:56:19Sorry.02:56:20We are not allowed to know what Fardrimm means.
Dungeon Master
02:56:22Okay.02:56:23Yes.
Luma
02:56:23Because we only figured that out once we found the door and the…02:56:28improper word name for it or the non-proper noun name for it.
Hazel
02:56:32Oh.
Luma
02:56:33And Luma was able to piece it together, so…02:56:35Use that information as you will.
Hazel
02:56:37Yeah.02:56:40Mm-hmm.02:56:41We…02:56:43Mm-hmm.02:56:44Yeah, you know what? Fuck it. Sorry, guys.02:56:47Hazel will just be like, what does the name Fardrimm mean to you?
Dungeon Master
02:56:48Thank you.02:56:51He…02:56:52He looks around, his eyes kind of dart back and forth.02:56:56Since that’s a little…02:56:58It’s a little more than a little coin. Where’d you hear that word?02:57:01What do you know?
Hazel
02:57:04Mm-hmm.02:57:05here is not the right.02:57:10It’s not the right word for it.02:57:11We found it in the02:57:13Good.02:57:14in the vaults.
Dungeon Master
02:57:15We’re in the vaults.02:57:17What do you mean?
Hazel
02:57:18Uh,
Dungeon Master
02:57:18What do you,02:57:19- Oh, what are you about to get me into?
Temerity
02:57:22Yeah.
Iva
02:57:23Yeah.
Hazel
02:57:23hehehehe
Iva
02:57:25Uh-oh.
Hazel
02:57:27That was all a book for it.
Rhysaene
02:57:27Mm-hmm.
Luma
02:57:28Take us.
Hazel
02:57:28It was, you know, we were allowed to be dead.
Luma
02:57:30I think it’s probably safe to say that he doesn’t actually know anything.
Hazel
02:57:36Yeah.02:57:38- Nice.
Dungeon Master
02:57:38Is that in character you guys are saying this in front of him?02:57:40Like, this guy’s…
Luma
02:57:41Luma absolutely says that in front of him.
Hazel
02:57:43Yes.
Temerity
02:57:44- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:57:46Wasn’t born yesterday, elf girl.
Hazel
02:57:49laughs
Luma
02:57:49We went and surveyed down in the vault and we found some really interesting stuff.02:57:53that we were curious if you might know any information about.
Dungeon Master
02:57:55I think found
Luma
02:57:56But it seems like you don’t know anything.
Dungeon Master
02:57:57No, you.02:57:59No, you did not.02:58:00Did not do that.02:58:01What vault?
Iva
02:58:04You did not do that.
Luma
02:58:04uh,02:58:05Yeah, I have a work order.02:58:09It went to vaults 13 through 16 and 17 through 19.
Dungeon Master
02:58:1113 through 16… 17 through 19…02:58:15No.
Luma
02:58:15Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:58:15You have a work order.
Luma
02:58:17Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:58:18Do you still have it?
Luma
02:58:19Yeah.
Dungeon Master
02:58:20Let me see it.
Temerity
02:58:21I don’t know.
Luma
02:58:22She pulls it out.
Dungeon Master
02:58:23He reads it.
Hazel
02:58:24He’s…02:58:25I’m reporting this.
Dungeon Master
02:58:25And he reads it again.02:58:27and he reads it a third time.02:58:29He sits it down.02:58:30He’s not, he doesn’t like,02:58:33take it or bowl it up or anything needs…02:58:37Oh.02:58:40Oh, it’s going to be a bad couple of weeks, I think.
Temerity
02:58:44Oh, boy.
Luma
02:58:46Why do you say that?
Dungeon Master
02:58:46I don’t know.02:58:48This he taps on the work order.02:58:51This is not authorized.02:58:52No one authorized this. If someone had authorized you to be in Vault 17 through 19, I would have heard of it.02:59:01This is02:59:02Not.02:59:05It’s official. It looks right.02:59:07Someone who knew what they were doing put this together.
Hazel
02:59:07Oh.
Dungeon Master
02:59:10This is not a legal work order.02:59:14or
Hazel
02:59:14- I’m not getting set again.
Dungeon Master
02:59:15If it is,02:59:17Whoever gave it to you did not clear it with the other high-ranking02:59:22What’s this?
Luma
02:59:22Is my boss going to get me in trouble?02:59:24Because I authorized that specifically, and I didn’t even think anything of it at the time.02:59:29So…
Dungeon Master
02:59:31you
Luma
02:59:32That’s out of character.
Dungeon Master
02:59:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Temerity
02:59:35I love you.
Dungeon Master
02:59:35you…
Luma
02:59:36I’m sorry.
Temerity
02:59:37Tardock.
Dungeon Master
02:59:39Yeah.02:59:40Yes.
Iva
02:59:40Bye.
Dungeon Master
02:59:41Someone’s going to lose their job.02:59:44A lot of people might lose their job.02:59:45Someone might be.02:59:46He like facepalms a little.02:59:49He grabs his whiskey and downs a whole glass and holds it up until a bartender comes by.02:59:54Waits until they pass.02:59:57Someone could be looking at jail or worse.
Hazel
03:00:03Well,
Luma
03:00:05Falsifying or…03:00:07of loss of head work.
Dungeon Master
03:00:09Sorry, you’re cutting out a little.
Luma
03:00:11for falsifying a work order or…03:00:14carrying out a falsified work order.
Dungeon Master
03:00:16well,03:00:17That’s going to depend on a lot.
Iva
03:00:19Yeah.
Luma
03:00:20I was just doing my job.
Iva
03:00:23get Luma mistled.
Dungeon Master
03:00:25Sure.03:00:28Oh, brother.03:00:31by hammer and anvil, by flame, by dragons long dead.
Temerity
03:00:31I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
03:00:41You already turn in your reports.03:00:43surveyor
Luma
03:00:43Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:00:46Well, then you better…03:00:49Better be ready for whatever comes next.
Luma
03:00:53I was really hoping it was a pat on the back and a raise.
Temerity
03:00:56-
Iva
03:00:57Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:00:58If you aren’t thrown in a deep pit,03:01:02and never heard from again, you will count yourself incredibly lucky.
Luma
03:01:08I was just doing my job. What do you mean?
Dungeon Master
03:01:12What have you brought to my doorstep?03:01:13What is this?03:01:14Why me?
Temerity
03:01:15- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:01:15What is your problem?03:01:16Why are you talking about…03:01:18No, we’re not talking about this anymore.03:01:20I am not complicit.03:01:22I…03:01:23Don’t know anything. I was not involved.03:01:27This is going to be a disaster.03:01:30This is going to be a disaster.03:01:32The bartender comes by with the second whiskey.03:01:35He downs it, slams the glass down, and gets up.03:01:38He looks like he’s getting ready to leave.
Hazel
03:01:41you don’t know.
Luma
03:01:41Wait.03:01:42What should I do?03:01:44Well done.
Hazel
03:01:44Yeah.03:01:45uh,
Temerity
03:01:45Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:01:45I,03:01:46You’re not my kid.
Hazel
03:01:48I’m sure.
Temerity
03:01:48laughs
Dungeon Master
03:01:49So,03:01:50Pray to the flame is what she should do.
Hazel
03:01:54Hazel scoffs, but like…03:01:57is also like clear that she’s saying it was very like seriously, um,03:02:02She’s kind of like03:02:03Whisperism.03:02:04at03:02:09Luma, and it’s just like I think we did too.03:02:12What do you think?03:02:13I think we need to get out.
Luma
03:02:13I’ll go back to my office.
Hazel
03:02:16Yeah.
Luma
03:02:17I gotta go talk to Kasa.03:02:19She could be in trouble too.
Hazel
03:02:21uh,03:02:23Hazel.
Dungeon Master
03:02:23Where’s that?
Hazel
03:02:24Hazelnods.03:02:27Mm-hmm.03:02:28uh,03:02:29looks back to the dwarf and03:02:32she she’ll say03:02:34Hook.03:02:34Let me say you didn’t hear anything about this.03:02:36Are you…03:02:38Can I trust you to your word?
Dungeon Master
03:02:40Oh, absolutely not.03:02:42If someone asks me, I’m not going to lie for two strangers, but I don’t want anything to do with this.03:02:49You are in…03:02:52Uh…03:02:53you’re in deeper than a dwarf with a shovel.
Temerity
03:02:58Hee hee hee.
Hazel
03:02:59Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:02:59You should get a shovel too, because I’m just going to tell them that you told us where to go.
Dungeon Master
03:03:03What do you mean you’re gonna, I’m not involved.
Iva
03:03:05- Oh my God.
Temerity
03:03:06laughs
Rhysaene
03:03:06Yeah.
Luma
03:03:06It’s funny, because I’m pretty sure we specifically asked him where vaults 13 through 19 were.
Rhysaene
03:03:07- It’s just so cool.
Luma
03:03:12and he gave us a word.
Dungeon Master
03:03:12you were supposed to be there.
Luma
03:03:14I was! I have a work order!
Dungeon Master
03:03:16work order is fabricated. It’s fucking, you fucking idiots.
Luma
03:03:19But you were…03:03:20You were upset before you even saw the work order.03:03:23Why were you upset before?
Dungeon Master
03:03:26I don’t know what you’re talking about! What are you asking?
Temerity
03:03:28-
Luma
03:03:30Luma said vault 17 through 19, the03:03:32on the day that we were going down there so that he could give us directions and he didn’t bat an03:03:36eye then she says 17 through 19 right now and he freaks the fuck out
Dungeon Master
03:03:37You think I have a…
Temerity
03:03:39Dude was drunk on the job.03:03:41laughs03:03:42Here’s…
Dungeon Master
03:03:42Yeah, because for some reason I thought you had an actual…
Luma
03:03:42- Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:03:44Listen, I don’t… I’m not…03:03:46That’s not my damn department.03:03:47I’m the master coiner, not the master of fucking work orders.03:03:50I don’t have them all memorized.
Luma
03:03:51- All right.
Dungeon Master
03:03:52But when you showed me the work order,03:03:54it occurred to me that I would have heard about this one specifically,03:03:57and I didn’t.
Luma
03:03:58But why? What’s so important about these vaults?
Hazel
03:04:02We know what’s important about these vaults.
Dungeon Master
03:04:02he’ll,
Luma
03:04:04I want to get in trouble. I want to know why I’m going to get in trouble.
Dungeon Master
03:04:04Okay.
Iva
03:04:06-
Dungeon Master
03:04:06If I tell you that, I’m going to get in trouble.
Luma
03:04:09You’re already going to get in trouble.
Dungeon Master
03:04:11I better fucking not.
Temerity
03:04:12laughing
Iva
03:04:13-
Luma
03:04:13Oh, you better fucking tell me.03:04:14She doesn’t say that.03:04:15You better tell me.
Dungeon Master
03:04:21Not here, get us a room. Fuck it. Fuck it! I don’t know what to do. This is bad. This is bad and I’m already…03:04:27Oh, I need you to know.03:04:29I have a lot of standing. I can burn you and they won’t ask questions. I could have you both dragged down and killed.
Temerity
03:04:37Yeah.
Luma
03:04:38I would rather not die, and I also really like my job.
Dungeon Master
03:04:41So,03:04:42This will be the last time you threaten to implicate me in whatever it is you’ve got going on.03:04:47Do you understand?
Luma
03:04:48Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:04:49All right.03:04:50Get a room.03:04:52leave the key on the03:04:54leave one of the keys on the table and pass by head up. I’ll be up in a little bit.
Temerity
03:05:00- That’s to get right drunk.
Hazel
03:05:02Luke.
Luma
03:05:03- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:05:03I need another couple, I need another couple
Luma
03:05:03Okay.03:05:04Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:05:05whiskeys before I have any03:05:07any conversation like this.
Hazel
03:05:10Very well.03:05:11Uh,03:05:12Hip, hip.03:05:14Sage is going to leave Hazel’s side and plop themselves directly next to the dwarf.
Temerity
03:05:15Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:05:23He glares at the stage.
Hazel
03:05:23Do look quick.03:05:25Um,03:05:26Thank you.03:05:27I apologize. Do look after my dog for me.
Dungeon Master
03:05:31Not a dog sitter. I hate dogs.03:05:34I don’t really hate dogs. I just hate that I’m here right now.
Temerity
03:05:37I could never say that.
Luma
03:05:37It’s a little bit of water.
Hazel
03:05:38Hee hee.
Iva
03:05:38I like how you…
Temerity
03:05:39I love dogs.
Luma
03:05:40laughs
Iva
03:05:40That’s a good one, Doug.
Temerity
03:05:42you
Iva
03:05:43Yeah.03:05:44I just hate this current moment.
Hazel
03:05:45She has.
Temerity
03:05:47laughter
Hazel
03:05:48Hee hee.
Dungeon Master
03:05:49really angry right now.
Hazel
03:05:49She nods.03:05:50laughing
Temerity
03:05:51Ha ha ha ha!
Dungeon Master
03:05:52Really fucking put out at this particular moment in time.
Temerity
03:05:52- Yeah.03:05:57Sorry, dog.
Hazel
03:06:00I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
03:06:01It’s not your fault, little guy.
Luma
03:06:01go to
Temerity
03:06:03I don’t know.
Luma
03:06:03We’ll go rent the cheapest room that they have that’ll fit three people in it.
Iva
03:06:03Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:06:06Yeah. You,03:06:08you’re able to do that, no problem.
Iva
03:06:08- Oh, yeah.03:06:09Thank you.
Luma
03:06:10Okay.
Temerity
03:06:10Ha, ha, ha.
Hazel
03:06:11The entire time that they’re up there that we’re waiting,
Iva
03:06:12Yeah, that was so awkward.
Hazel
03:06:15Hazel is looking through. Sage’s sense is right next to the dwarf to make sure he’s not like going to the authorities.
Dungeon Master
03:06:22He…03:06:23There’s a moment where he gets up and it looks like he’s gonna leave, and then he sits back down and he grumbles and he drinks more whiskey.03:06:29There are like three moments where he has to talk himself out of just fucking off.
Hazel
03:06:35Uh,
Luma
03:06:35While I’m away, she’s tearing little pieces of paper and like,
Dungeon Master
03:06:35Um,
Luma
03:06:39pushing them into her bag of holding.
Hazel
03:06:43Every so often.03:06:45uh,03:06:47Like, Hazel is just like probably just sitting on the plopped on the bed.03:06:50uh,03:06:51her like03:06:53They’re like,03:06:54mumbling03:06:58something incomprehensible in Sylvan.03:07:01And every so often you hear her be like, oh,03:07:03No, never mind.03:07:04Wait.
Dungeon Master
03:07:05- Thank you.
Temerity
03:07:05Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:07:06Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:07:06Um,
Luma
03:07:08I’m about to get fired.
Dungeon Master
03:07:08You’re…03:07:10You all head up. I feel like the other three would start arriving around this point.
Temerity
03:07:14It’s so funny.
Iva
03:07:15Yeah.
Temerity
03:07:15Temerity came by just thinking that Luma and Hazel just showed up at the bar to hang out.
Rhysaene
03:07:19Yeah.
Temerity
03:07:20And it’s like, oh, I get to hang out with my friends after work.03:07:23This is so cool.
Hazel
03:07:24Thank you.
Luma
03:07:25Yeah.
Temerity
03:07:25-03:07:26I’m sorry.
Dungeon Master
03:07:27It’s actually weird. You three arrive at about the same time, presumably all thinking something along those lines.03:07:33The bar…
Rhysaene
03:07:34Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:07:35The bar floor is, is, is busy. It’s, it’s after lunch, after work.03:07:39Day after the festival, there’s people getting dinner, there’s people talking.03:07:43There’s a dwarf sitting alone chugging…03:07:47Uh,03:07:48whiskey. Upstairs, Luma and Hazel have gotten a room together for some reason.
Iva
03:07:55I don’t know.
Temerity
03:07:55Oh.
Iva
03:07:56Havik goes, oh, do you think they’re, like, should we not intrude?
Hazel
03:08:00Also, Sage is there.03:08:01Sage is right next to the door.
Dungeon Master
03:08:02True.03:08:03Sage is right there, but I thought it was funnier to leave that out.
Temerity
03:08:07laughs
Dungeon Master
03:08:07Yeah, you do after a second notice that there’s a dwarf like slamming whiskey and sitting on the ground next to this dwarf is Hazel’s dog.
Hazel
03:08:07That was fair.
Rhysaene
03:08:07Bye.03:08:15Mmm.
Temerity
03:08:16Hmm.
Iva
03:08:19Like, what if they’re, like, indisposed?
Temerity
03:08:19Huh.03:08:22After noticing Sage, because we’ve met this dwarf before, whenever we were asking to go into the vaults.
Dungeon Master
03:08:30Met is a strong word, but yes, you have seen him once before.03:08:34And you saw him blow up at a, at a vault Smith and then, uh,
Temerity
03:08:34Yes.
Dungeon Master
03:08:39not03:08:40Remember Hazel?
Temerity
03:08:41Uh-huh.03:08:43So to Temerity, it’s like, okay, they probably…
Rhysaene
03:08:43Hi.
Temerity
03:08:46are talking to this dude.
Hazel
03:08:49Hazel did also specifically talk to the party that she wanted to talk to this guy.
Temerity
03:08:55Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:08:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hazel
03:08:55Yes.
Dungeon Master
03:08:57You did you did you did do that. That is true.
Temerity
03:08:57So
Hazel
03:08:58It’s just,
Temerity
03:09:01And he’s like, oh, okay, more work after work.
Rhysaene
03:09:01Awakes.03:09:04Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:09:05Tch-tch-tch-tch.
Rhysaene
03:09:06Oh, hey, Temerity. You’re okay?
Temerity
03:09:09Oh.03:09:10Yeah, I’m fine.
Rhysaene
03:09:12how training goes.
Temerity
03:09:14Oh.03:09:15Uh, it went well.03:09:17Nah.03:09:18some asshole was there, but you know,03:09:21get sorted out sooner or later.
Rhysaene
03:09:23Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:09:24Thank you.
Temerity
03:09:25I did.
Rhysaene
03:09:27I imagine you will give that lawyer03:09:29Creekspan crack.
Temerity
03:09:31It’s like, you know, it03:09:37laughs03:09:39Yeah.03:09:40Um,
Hazel
03:09:41with just
Temerity
03:09:42I’m going to try and see if we can get up there with Hazel and Luma.
Hazel
03:09:42kind of bump.
Temerity
03:09:45I think this might be important.
Hazel
03:09:46Phoebe.
Dungeon Master
03:09:48while you’re
Iva
03:09:48Well,
Dungeon Master
03:09:49While you guys are chatting, the dwarf gets up, picks something up off the table, and heads upstairs.
Iva
03:09:50I’ll go ahead.
Temerity
03:09:54Yeah, I definitely think it’s important.03:09:56So Temerity’s going to head to the barmaid and be like,03:10:01Um,03:10:04Hello, our…03:10:05Um,03:10:07Two of our friends got a room upstairs.03:10:09I was hoping that we could join them.
Dungeon Master
03:10:13Fuck.
Hazel
03:10:15laughter
Iva
03:10:15Iva goes to Temerity, this is the weirdest thing to ask.
Rhysaene
03:10:15- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:10:16-
Iva
03:10:18If we were going to do that, why not just go knock on the door?
Temerity
03:10:18I guess it is, yeah.
Rhysaene
03:10:18Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:10:20uh,
Temerity
03:10:20about it until I said it, but you know…
Dungeon Master
03:10:21Give me a…03:10:23Give me a persuasion check.
Temerity
03:10:25We’ve been here several times before.
Iva
03:10:25I don’t know.
Temerity
03:10:28I expect that they could recognize our party.
Iva
03:10:28I was like, “Temerity, what if they’re doing things?”
Temerity
03:10:33No, Sage was down here.
Dungeon Master
03:10:34Absolutely.
Rhysaene
03:10:36Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:10:38There’s a…03:10:39Like…03:10:40There’s…03:10:41There’s like rotating staff.03:10:44for one thing.
Temerity
03:10:45Okay, that’s fair.
Dungeon Master
03:10:45For the other…03:10:46like Dorian Draken would recognize your party.03:10:49But the situation at the Sterling Sovereign’s a little different for several reasons.03:10:54One of the big reasons being you guys always, like, get an expensive private room when you show up there.03:10:59You are like big spenders.
Temerity
03:11:01Yeah, that’s…
Dungeon Master
03:11:02But here you are just kind of guys.
Temerity
03:11:03fair.03:11:05Okay.03:11:07Uh, in that case, then maybe Temerity would have had a different approach, but I already committed, so…03:11:11You said roll a persuasion check?
Dungeon Master
03:11:13Yeah.
Temerity
03:11:14Oh boy, 13.
Dungeon Master
03:11:16- Yeah.03:11:17Um, the bartender’s like, um…03:11:21Train it.03:11:22Uh,03:11:25It’s not my place to judge, third room.03:11:28I can’t give you a key. You’ll have to go knock there in room 102.03:11:32Or 204.
Temerity
03:11:32Oh, okay.03:11:35Thank you very much.03:11:36It’s a very completely goes over their head.03:11:38Just heads upstairs.
Rhysaene
03:11:43Yeah, I will have a whistle-looking…03:11:47How tight are the stairs? Are they okay? Can I fit up there?
Dungeon Master
03:11:52You can fit up the stairs so…03:11:54Um,03:11:56just to just to03:11:58Clarify how this is going to work if it ever matters mechanically.
Rhysaene
03:12:01Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:12:01In 5e 2024, you can squeeze through a space that fits a creature one size smaller than you.03:12:08It just counts as difficult terrain.03:12:10These stairs are still very much for medium creatures.
Rhysaene
03:12:10Yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:12:13Even if they’re, like, not really built for you, you can still squeeze them, squeeze through them.
Rhysaene
03:12:14Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:12:19The thing that, like, is always going to give you trouble are things like ladders and things that specifically, like, expect the, like, bipedal anatomy.03:12:26But stairs you can do, it’s just awkward.
Rhysaene
03:12:27Yeah, yeah.03:12:30- Okay.
Temerity
03:12:30Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
03:12:30Okay.
Temerity
03:12:31Mm-mm.
Dungeon Master
03:12:31So you all start heading up?
Temerity
03:12:35Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:12:36Um,03:12:36Hey, uh,03:12:38Luma, Hazel, the door clicks.03:12:41And.03:12:42And Dalric Ironmark steps inside…03:12:45waits for Sage to come in and slams the door behind him.03:12:51Um,
Temerity
03:12:51that way.
Dungeon Master
03:12:53Huh?
Temerity
03:12:54I was writing the name down.03:12:55Sorry, I didn’t do it before.
Luma
03:12:55Luma stops feeding her bag of holding scraps of paper and
Hazel
03:12:59-
Temerity
03:13:00Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:13:00- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:13:01What is that? What’s all that paper? You didn’t tear up the work order, did you?
Luma
03:13:06No, no, I just03:13:07When I’m nervous I tear pieces of paper.
Dungeon Master
03:13:10That’s kind of weird else.
Temerity
03:13:14But03:13:14laughs
Luma
03:13:16I’m not going to comment on that, but I want you to know that’s really problematic of you.
Dungeon Master
03:13:17When I’m.
Hazel
03:13:21- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:13:22Whatever. All right.
Luma
03:13:23I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
03:13:25What? Who?03:13:27Ugh.03:13:29I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I have to know.03:13:32Who set this up? Who sent you down there?03:13:34This is an official work order, it just isn’t through proper channels.03:13:38So someone knew what they were doing.
Luma
03:13:41On the bottom of the work order says that it was authorized by Kessa Tumblebrim, which is my boss.03:13:45She’s a senior surveyor.03:13:48On behalf of the senior vaultsmith,
Dungeon Master
03:13:51Well, there are multiple senior vaultsmiths.03:13:54I’m technically a senior vaultsmith.
Luma
03:13:56It doesn’t have a name, which I thought it was kind of weird at the time, but I don’t really know your…03:14:00hierarchy structure, so I figured that03:14:03That might be like an official title of someone specific.03:14:06Oh, the structural integrity division.
Dungeon Master
03:14:09Well,03:14:11Huh.03:14:16When was this issued?03:14:18Sorry, I…
Luma
03:14:19Um…
Dungeon Master
03:14:20trying to find this handout and I don’t know where it is.
Luma
03:14:22It was issued on the 29th of Coldrise.03:14:26Which was like two days ago.03:14:28No, technically it says 2014 PSF, but I think that that’s wrong.03:14:31I think that’s 200 years in the future.
Dungeon Master
03:14:33Shut up.
Temerity
03:14:33Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
03:14:34Hehehehe.
Luma
03:14:34Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:14:351714, Coldrise.
Luma
03:14:36I don’t know.03:14:37Good question.
Temerity
03:14:38laughs
Dungeon Master
03:14:38Uh,
Luma
03:14:40Yes.03:14:411714.03:14:44or 1814.
Dungeon Master
03:14:4617.
Luma
03:14:46Right.
Dungeon Master
03:14:471714.
Luma
03:14:49or 300 years in the past now? I thought it was 200.
Dungeon Master
03:14:51Yes.
Temerity
03:14:51Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:14:52Nope.
Iva
03:14:53It’s very hard, coach.
Luma
03:14:53Wow, my brain hurts. Okay, we’re good.
Dungeon Master
03:14:56Um…
Luma
03:14:56Sorry.03:14:58Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:14:58Structural Integrity Department had a bit of a shake-up, uh…03:15:03about a week ago and they currently don’t have a head of the department.03:15:08Um, so this slipped through a crack.03:15:10technically authorized by someone who doesn’t work there anymore, but that person03:15:16It doesn’t work there anymore. I don’t think they could have done it.03:15:21um,03:15:26So that’s…03:15:27That’s how they got away with it.03:15:31But why and who?
Luma
03:15:31So,03:15:32- Yeah.03:15:33We add 300 years to every date that’s listed anywhere.
Dungeon Master
03:15:36you
Iva
03:15:38subtract.
Luma
03:15:38So if something says 500 years ago, it would have been…03:15:42800 years ago?
Dungeon Master
03:15:42No.
Luma
03:15:43200 years ago.
Dungeon Master
03:15:44Thank you.03:15:45the amount of time
Temerity
03:15:45It’d be 500.
Dungeon Master
03:15:46No, hold on.03:15:48The amount of time something was ago, like…03:15:51should be the same if something is listed as like 300 years ago. But if something is listed with a03:15:56date, you subtract 300 years. If you have a question about a specific date, just feel free to ask me.03:16:02But the current year is, okay.
Luma
03:16:02No, no, no. I was just going to say that the work order says that the vaults were sealed 500 years ago.
Dungeon Master
03:16:07Yeah.
Luma
03:16:08But the evidence that I found in there was03:16:10very03:16:12Not true.
Dungeon Master
03:16:12No, no, no, you didn’t find me. No, you didn’t. That’s not…03:16:16No, you didn’t.03:16:18Come on, no you didn’t.
Iva
03:16:18-03:16:19Yeah.
Temerity
03:16:20Yeah.
Luma
03:16:21I definitely did.
Dungeon Master
03:16:23No, he didn’t.
Luma
03:16:25Are you like,
Temerity
03:16:25Yeah.
Luma
03:16:26suggesting that I should say that I didn’t, or are you contradicting my information?03:16:30Because my response is going to be very different.
Dungeon Master
03:16:33I’m…03:16:34I’m trying to process.03:16:37The amount of trouble that you’re in. The amount of trouble that the Bureau of Instructuring and Mapping is in. The amount of trouble that the vaultsmiths are in.
Luma
03:16:46Also the Guild of Sparks was mentioned, does that help?
Dungeon Master
03:16:49Not really.03:16:51Looking at the work order, they weren’t
Luma
03:16:51Okay.
Dungeon Master
03:16:54They weren’t terribly involved in this.03:16:56It looks like the vaultsmiths specifically are who’s fucked.03:17:01Um,
Luma
03:17:02uh,03:17:04They just wanted me to map the vaults and…03:17:07And--03:17:10note any hazards or any03:17:13unmarked passages and sealed doors and stuff like that, which I gave. I didn’t include any information about the weird stuff that we found that contradicts the dates. That was just kind of a personal curiosity.
Dungeon Master
03:17:23You didn’t.03:17:24include
Luma
03:17:28I’ve got a copy of my work here. She opens up her journal.
Dungeon Master
03:17:28Right.03:17:31- Yeah.
Hazel
03:17:32- Woo hoo.
Dungeon Master
03:17:33This is like the full notes.
Luma
03:17:36Yeah.
Temerity
03:17:37Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:17:38- Ugh.
Iva
03:17:38Oh,
Luma
03:17:39We’ll make…
Iva
03:17:40You know what? I think
Luma
03:17:40writes every… Oh, wait, no, no, sorry.
Iva
03:17:42I…
Luma
03:17:42I misunderstood your question. Sorry.
Rhysaene
03:17:44Thank you.
Luma
03:17:44No, she makes a copy of everything that she
Dungeon Master
03:17:46Okay. So this is just a copy of what you turned in. This is not like,
Luma
03:17:46turns in for herself.03:17:48This is…03:17:49yet.03:17:50This is not the full notes that we would have taken.
Dungeon Master
03:17:51Okay.
Luma
03:17:52That’s in a different journal entirely.
Temerity
03:17:53Oh,
Dungeon Master
03:17:54Right.
Luma
03:17:54She still isn’t sure if she trusts this guy yet.
Temerity
03:17:54laughter
Iva
03:17:56- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:17:57- Thank you.
Luma
03:17:59So she’s going off the information of like,
Temerity
03:17:59just…
Luma
03:18:01I just saw some really interesting things.
Dungeon Master
03:18:03He glances over what you turned in and says, well,
Temerity
03:18:04Just…
Dungeon Master
03:18:07I’ve got good news. They might not execute you outright.
Luma
03:18:13Well, that’s…03:18:14Good news.
Dungeon Master
03:18:15It doesn’t look like anything in your report is anything that stands out, but you weren’t supposed to be down there at all.03:18:25Um,
Luma
03:18:25Okay. So,03:18:29I have a work order.03:18:31And the guards let me in.
Dungeon Master
03:18:33Yeah, they would have seen the work order and it looks legit. I understand what03:18:39I understand what happened.
Luma
03:18:39So,
Dungeon Master
03:18:42but not why.
Luma
03:18:42Should I go to?03:18:43Should I go to somebody before--03:18:46People make assumptions and I get in trouble.
Dungeon Master
03:18:48Not sure what difference that’s going to make.03:18:54going to come down to
Iva
03:18:54Just as far as you don’t tell anyone else.
Dungeon Master
03:18:57The situation doesn’t change much.03:18:59No, because if you…03:19:02If you go to someone, they’re going to wonder why you went.03:19:06They’re going to wonder why you followed a work order and then questioned it after.03:19:11And I don’t know that you have a good answer for that, because the answer is certainly not anything to do with old Dalric.03:19:18You get me?
Hazel
03:19:20Hazel nod.
Luma
03:19:23Luma was about to correct that because, you know, she’s very literal, but then seeing Hazel nodding, she just kind of shuts up and goes, okay.
Dungeon Master
03:19:29That’s just…
Hazel
03:19:31- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:19:31So,03:19:35Can’t be faulted.03:19:38It can’t be faulted in like the moral sense of the word fault.03:19:41It’s a very real looking work order and people above you signed off on it.
Luma
03:19:47Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:19:47you saw things you shouldn’t have seen.
Luma
03:19:51Oh, I mean, it was really dark.
Temerity
03:19:53Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:19:53Thank you.
Hazel
03:19:53Hazel nods.
Iva
03:19:55- Yeah.
Luma
03:19:55I love it.
Temerity
03:19:56-
Luma
03:19:59I was pretty focused on the dimensions of the rooms and the hazards and stuff like that.
Dungeon Master
03:20:04If.03:20:07if you stick to what’s in your report no matter what.03:20:11you might get out of it03:20:14You know.03:20:16without going to jail.03:20:18without being arrested, without being killed.03:20:22If you stick to what’s in your report, someone above you is going to take the real fall.
Luma
03:20:22Bye.03:20:31But I don’t want Kessel to get in trouble.03:20:33She’s really nice to me.
Dungeon Master
03:20:36- Yeah.03:20:37I don’t.03:20:38I know the name.03:20:40I know Kessa Tumblebrim.03:20:41She’s a…03:20:43She’s been good for the Bureau.03:20:45But03:20:48No, I don’t.03:20:49I think if she follows orders, she’s going to skate by.03:20:53I think there’s someone in the vaultsmiths is going to go down for this.03:20:57No one else could have done this.03:20:59to know that we were having that, um,03:21:02that shake up in the structural integrity department that made03:21:06Made doing this possible, to have the work order be so authentic, to have it go through all the proper channels, would take a vaultsmith.03:21:15And not a nobody. Someone high up in my organization set this up.
Hazel
03:21:23man.
Dungeon Master
03:21:23or
Hazel
03:21:23This would be a03:21:24If we really like this guy, it would be a great time to mention that we think their order might be compromised by the syndicated.
Dungeon Master
03:21:32Well,03:21:34Funny you should say that is someone in my
Luma
03:21:36- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:21:37department set this up well.03:21:40Yeah.03:21:41supposedly the syndicate’s really good at forgery.
Luma
03:21:45I’m fucking worried.
Iva
03:21:45Oh, you know what’s the perfect time for that?
Luma
03:21:47I am so worried that this was the favor
Hazel
03:21:50was the favorite, yeah.
Luma
03:21:51that the,03:21:52the guy wanted us to do,03:21:54and that’s the entire reason the fucking Tarners03:21:56and to get information was over there.03:21:57Or it was supposed to go to somebody
Temerity
03:21:57Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:21:58- Hi.
Luma
03:21:59and Kessa gave it to Luma instead.03:22:04Like, what’s that?
Hazel
03:22:04feel like
Iva
03:22:04I think there should be three knocks at the door.03:22:06As Iva goes…
Luma
03:22:06Because there was Tarnar Syndicate fucking information in the vault that was supposedly sealed…
Dungeon Master
03:22:06Well,
Hazel
03:22:07Hey.
Dungeon Master
03:22:12Well, look at that.
Luma
03:22:12ready for somebody to come up to.
Temerity
03:22:15Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:22:15In answer to that second theory,03:22:17Luma knows because Kessa told her that she was asked for by name.
Hazel
03:22:23Yes.
Luma
03:22:24Luma was asked for my name, right?
Dungeon Master
03:22:25Yes.
Rhysaene
03:22:26Oh, sorry.
Temerity
03:22:27- Uh…
Luma
03:22:27We just fucking did the favor, didn’t we?
Dungeon Master
03:22:27So, so the, the,
Temerity
03:22:31Uh-huh.03:22:32I think so.
Hazel
03:22:34Which makes me also believe that we’re probably in the clear, dubiously,
Luma
03:22:43Uh…
Hazel
03:22:44unless the favor was map this out and then get arrested.
Luma
03:22:45I don’t know.
Hazel
03:22:50which I guess also makes sense, but you know.
Luma
03:22:53I can’t imagine what they would have wanted from03:22:56from that information that Luma provided.
Rhysaene
03:22:58God.
Temerity
03:23:01Hee hee hee.
Rhysaene
03:23:01So,03:23:03the,03:23:04Location of the Bing door.
Hazel
03:23:08Maybe, but
Temerity
03:23:08of the bean door.03:23:09but we didn’t provide that.
Hazel
03:23:09But they know that.
Luma
03:23:10They already knew the location of the big door.03:23:11They had a map to it.
Temerity
03:23:12Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:23:12Oh yeah, that’s true.
Hazel
03:23:12Yeah.
Luma
03:23:13Yeah, they know about that.
Temerity
03:23:18Maybe it’s just to fuck with us.
Luma
03:23:18Not only do they know about that, they trapped the route there.
Temerity
03:23:20Might have just been to fuck with us.03:23:23Who knows what the Tarnar wants.
Luma
03:23:24Who knows? I don’t know. It’s all speculation at this point.03:23:26Well, we’re just kind of like, okay, well, I guess I’m just going to…03:23:31Pretend nothing happened and wait to get fired.
Iva
03:23:33Uh,
Dungeon Master
03:23:34I mean,
Luma
03:23:35Oh, f-
Dungeon Master
03:23:35That is really your best case scenario.
Iva
03:23:35- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:23:44I03:23:46have made03:23:47some dire mistakes.03:23:50tonight.03:23:51At the festival, apparently, I have said far too much in…
Luma
03:23:57Yeah, what did you even mean by that?
Dungeon Master
03:23:59Oh,03:24:01damn coins aren’t that old.03:24:04Not the… the crescent moon thing. The old silver pieces.03:24:11pre-Starfall, pre-Argentum, pre-Bahamut, pre-all of it.
Luma
03:24:11Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:24:16They aren’t that old.
Luma
03:24:20Well, how old are they?
Hazel
03:24:21He’s a-
Dungeon Master
03:24:22The ones I carry probably about a03:24:29I don’t know for sure, but if I had to guess about…03:24:32350 years,03:24:35minted03:24:38out of silver, good quality, well preserved,03:24:43I guess about 350 years.03:24:45Definitely…03:24:47No way that they’re that untarnished after 1700 years or more.
Luma
03:24:51Where did you?03:24:53Where did you find them?
Dungeon Master
03:24:56Well,03:24:57I’m the master coiner.03:24:58I mint all the currency or I oversee the minting of the currency in Argentum.03:25:05I don’t know.
Luma
03:25:05Yeah, that doesn’t answer my question.
Dungeon Master
03:25:09Well, it does. Those metals got to come from somewhere.
Hazel
03:25:15been taken with.
Temerity
03:25:15Are we just repurposing all of the old coinage?
Hazel
03:25:19That makes sense.
Temerity
03:25:20Huh?
Luma
03:25:20That kind of makes sense, I guess.
Dungeon Master
03:25:22The minting vaults hold…
Luma
03:25:23So, I just…
Dungeon Master
03:25:26Old coins, old relics, artifacts, that sort of thing, we melt it all down.
Luma
03:25:32Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:25:39Listen,03:25:43I don’t want to get in trouble.03:25:44I recognize I…03:25:47My smartest play.03:25:51is to rat you all out, is to walk straight over to the Order of the Lantern and tell them that you all are up to no good and have you all…03:26:00taken out back.03:26:02before you can say anything against me.03:26:06Uh-huh.
Luma
03:26:07I’d really prefer it if you didn’t do that.
Hazel
03:26:09Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:26:09I don’t want to do it.03:26:10I’m letting you know that that’s the smartest thing I could do03:26:13so that the next thing I say comes with the appropriate weight.03:26:18which is to say I would like it very much03:26:21if you all didn’t involve me.03:26:24And even if you get caught03:26:26my name doesn’t come up.03:26:29I’ll deny it.
Luma
03:26:29- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:26:30I’ll deny all of it.
Luma
03:26:31- Important question because03:26:33I legitimately don’t want you to get in trouble.03:26:36and I understand what you’re saying, but also03:26:39What did you do with the note that I wrote for you?
Dungeon Master
03:26:43He reaches into his pocket and pulls it out and sets it down.
Luma
03:26:47Okay, perfect. She’ll take that.03:26:49That was technically a ticking time bomb that could have implicated you, but we’re good now.
Temerity
03:26:49Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:26:54Well, that’s a ticking time bomb that implicates03:26:58Wait.
Luma
03:26:58Luma starts ripping it up and…03:27:00feeding it to her bag.
Dungeon Master
03:27:00Oh, you idiot little elf.03:27:03Fuck.
Iva
03:27:04Yeah.
Luma
03:27:04All right.
Temerity
03:27:05Yeah.
Luma
03:27:06What’d I do?
Dungeon Master
03:27:06the,
Temerity
03:27:06Yeah, that’s perfect.
Dungeon Master
03:27:07The damn survey is going to be investigated.03:27:10They’re going to turn the vaultsmiths upside down.
Luma
03:27:13Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:27:14They’re going to ask the fucking clerk you gave that note to and everybody else if they know anything about any of it.03:27:22That clerk’s going to say Luma Drace was looking to interview Dalric Ironmark.
Luma
03:27:27Yeah.03:27:28You’re the wrong dwarf.
Dungeon Master
03:27:31Does it?
Luma
03:27:32We only gave him a really, really rough…03:27:34description of you.
Dungeon Master
03:27:36Your work order didn’t say anything about talking to me, didn’t say anything about the03:27:41minting vaults. It’s suspicious, even on its face. Even without the…03:27:47Would he have any way of knowing that he was the only person who could see the…
Luma
03:27:53- Um…
Dungeon Master
03:27:53Thank you.
Luma
03:27:54No, not technically.
Dungeon Master
03:27:56Then he’s actually way more panicked.03:27:58He’s like, they’re gonna know that you were asking about the coins.03:28:01Oh, bloody fucking…
Luma
03:28:03No, you’re okay.03:28:04Don’t worry about that.
Dungeon Master
03:28:06mean I’m okay. The fucking coin, that alone is gonna get us all thrown in fucking candlehold or something.
Luma
03:28:14No, you were the only person that would have recognized it as being part of the coin.03:28:20I’m really good at writing notes. Don’t worry about it.
Dungeon Master
03:28:23Even so, it’s,
Luma
03:28:23And if they…
Dungeon Master
03:28:24It’s a loose thread. It’s all a loose thread.
Luma
03:28:25- Yeah.03:28:28No, the nut was innocuous enough, trust me.
Temerity
03:28:28Oh man, these stairs.
Luma
03:28:31And if they…
Dungeon Master
03:28:32Nothing is.
Luma
03:28:33if they question the question.03:28:34and he says that they went, that we were gonna interview you.03:28:38And then they come and ask,03:28:40You.03:28:41or they ask me,03:28:42I’ll just say that you were the wrong dwarf.03:28:44because03:28:45We just assume that you are the dwarf because that’s the03:28:48That was the name the clerk gave us.03:28:49But you weren’t the right one.
Hazel
03:28:52We’re very racist.03:28:53We apologize.
Dungeon Master
03:28:53The clerk told you that you were looking for me, but you were looking for someone else.
Luma
03:28:58Yeah.03:28:59We said that we were looking for an old dwarf03:29:01who was kind of grumpy and a little rude.03:29:04I’m an elf.03:29:05That could be any dwarf.
Dungeon Master
03:29:06That could be any dwarf. That could be any dwarf. That could be any dwarf.
Hazel
03:29:07- Yeah.
Temerity
03:29:10Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
03:29:10Take care of me, boys.03:29:13Um,
Luma
03:29:13We did mention that you were drunk a little bit, but
Dungeon Master
03:29:16Well, that could still be a new dwarf.
Luma
03:29:17I can be anything to it.03:29:19Yeah, I like a video, though.
Dungeon Master
03:29:19You don’t get to say that, elf.03:29:20I get to say that.
Iva
03:29:20laughing
Hazel
03:29:21Who is it?
Temerity
03:29:22laughs
Rhysaene
03:29:23Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:29:24That could be any dwarf.
Luma
03:29:26You called me weird. I could say that.
Dungeon Master
03:29:28It’s at this time that the party is able to get to the door.
Luma
03:29:28We can go there.
Dungeon Master
03:29:31The door to the room 204 is shut.
Temerity
03:29:31-
Iva
03:29:34Uh,
Dungeon Master
03:29:35There are…03:29:37They are not talking that loudly because they are talking about state secrets.
Temerity
03:29:42Temerity is going to give a…
Iva
03:29:42Since there’s whispering and stuff, Iva knocks on the door and goes…03:29:46Uh, Hazel, are you doing things in there like that we shouldn’t be involved in or can we come in?
Rhysaene
03:29:52I was afraid.
Temerity
03:29:53Hazel. Not Hazel. I, uh…
Hazel
03:29:54Hazel says,
Dungeon Master
03:29:55What the fuck?03:29:56Who’s that? What’s happening?
Hazel
03:29:57Hazel just says, oh, there’s the stone shield.03:29:59It’s going to take us away.03:30:00No.
Dungeon Master
03:30:00WHAT?!
Temerity

Luma

Rhysaene

Temerity
03:31:06All right.
Dungeon Master

Luma

Rhysaene
03:31:12It’s just like, oh, I thought she was in a mapmaking.
Luma
03:31:13I don’t know.
Rhysaene
03:31:15I didn’t think she was in a mapmaking.
Luma

Dungeon Master
03:31:42Um,
Temerity
03:31:44laughs
Hazel
03:31:45Um,
Dungeon Master
03:31:46Dalric is like visibly sweating and like clearly still very panicked.
Hazel
03:31:51- Yeah.03:31:53uh,03:31:53T-t-t-t.03:31:54laughs
Luma
03:31:57Plausible deniability is our best03:32:00Defense.03:32:02You were the wrong dwarf. You don’t know nothing.03:32:05We never found the guy because we didn’t know his name.03:32:08And03:32:10We just keep our heads down.
Dungeon Master
03:32:12I…03:32:12I hear.03:32:14Yeah, that sounds right.
Luma
03:32:15Then I kiss that pat on the back and I raise goodbye.
Hazel
03:32:18Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:32:20Yeah.
Luma
03:32:21I’m going to be lucky if I still have my job by the end of the week.03:32:23I really like that job.
Dungeon Master
03:32:23You’re going to be lucky if you still have your life by the end of the week.
Hazel
03:32:28Oh, we’re very good at keeping that.
Luma
03:32:30I would really like not to be killed over03:32:32with communication.03:32:36That would be a really ironic way for me to go.
Hazel
03:32:39Hmm.
Temerity
03:32:39laughs
Hazel
03:32:41Snoozy.
Dungeon Master
03:32:42Well,03:32:45This was a lot more trouble than I expected to be in it.03:32:48I’m gonna…03:32:49go home and get really fucking drunk.
Hazel
03:32:52Like,
Temerity
03:32:53That just sounds like a Tuesday.
Hazel
03:32:58Okay.
Luma
03:32:58You could go back and give the clerk a talking to about being racist to dwarves.03:33:02And then he’ll definitely not tell the people that you were the person that he was supposed to
Hazel
03:33:06It’s true. Have you seen his beard?
Luma
03:33:06Or that we were meeting.
Dungeon Master
03:33:08you,
Luma
03:33:08I don’t know.
Hazel
03:33:08Very regressive.
Dungeon Master
03:33:09Listen,03:33:10First of all,03:33:11Yeah, that’s fucking weird.03:33:13I don’t know why he’s like that, but…
Hazel
03:33:15-
Luma
03:33:16Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Temerity
03:33:17No.
Luma
03:33:18Good.
Dungeon Master
03:33:18I, listen…
Luma
03:33:18- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:33:20You were right the first time.03:33:21We keep our heads down.03:33:23You stick to your story.03:33:24You stick to what’s in your report.
Luma
03:33:26Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:33:27I’m the wrong dwarf.03:33:28I don’t know anything about it. I never met you. I never saw you.03:33:31I’m going to leave through this fucking window. Um,
Hazel
03:33:37that’s
Luma
03:33:37I think that would be really weird.
Hazel
03:33:39Yeah.
Luma
03:33:39I mean, I…03:33:40I’d actually kind of like to say that, but that would be really weird.03:33:43You should just leave out the front door.
Dungeon Master
03:33:45All right, well, whatever.03:33:46I’ve never done anything like this before.03:33:48I’ve never fucking been implicated03:33:50in high crimes and treason before.
Hazel
03:33:53Yeah.
Luma
03:33:54If anybody ever asks why you went up to an in-room with us to say that we were going to interview you, that we realized you were the wrong dwarf, it’s fine.
Iva
03:33:54Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:34:00Well, that no.03:34:01You never interviewed me.03:34:03We never met.03:34:04That one’s got to stick.
Hazel
03:34:04How else do we know that03:34:06How else would we know we got the wrong dwarf?
Luma
03:34:06Eh.03:34:12Yeah, they all look the same to me. I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
03:34:12I don’t.03:34:14Oh, hang on.
Hazel
03:34:15Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
03:34:16I don’t know, but03:34:17I…
Hazel
03:34:17Sage shrugs.
Luma
03:34:19Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:34:20Anything that adds a reason to ask another question.03:34:24We don’t want, same reason we don’t want the damn clerk03:34:28to be a problem, but he’s gonna be one.03:34:30You know, we don’t wanna add anything to this.03:34:32We keep our heads down.03:34:34We we’ve never met.03:34:36No one’s going to remember03:34:38Remember us.03:34:40Being here together, places busy. There’s lots of dwarves in our, well, there’s not that many dwarves in Argentum anymore, but uh.
Hazel
03:34:45Not anymore.
Luma
03:34:46jump cut down to fucking Iva being like,
Hazel
03:34:46Thanks.
Luma
03:34:48it’s really weird that they’re up there in the room together.
Rhysaene

Luma

Dungeon Master
03:34:52Um, you know,
Iva
03:34:52Okay.
Luma
03:34:53And
Iva
03:34:55I can’t believe that.
Dungeon Master
03:34:55Yeah.03:34:56Two elves and a dwarf is pretty fucking weird, actually.
Luma
03:34:57Yeah.
Temerity
03:34:59laughter
Iva
03:34:59Thank you.
Dungeon Master
03:34:59Oh, my God.
Iva

Hazel
03:35:06it was like
Dungeon Master
03:35:06Thanks.
Hazel

Dungeon Master
03:35:15-
Temerity
03:35:16laughs
Dungeon Master
03:35:16Um,
Hazel
03:35:17This is the second time.
Luma
03:35:17doesn’t really get it, but she’s just perceptive enough to understand that that could be a plausible defense.
Dungeon Master
03:35:20Right.
Hazel
03:35:22Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:35:22The--03:35:23People knocking at the door, were they friends of yours?
Hazel
03:35:23uh,
Luma
03:35:26Yeah.03:35:27There were people that went to the vault with us.
Dungeon Master
03:35:27All right.03:35:30There were more of you down there.
Luma
03:35:32I hired a whole team like they told me to.
Dungeon Master
03:35:34A whole team of people were down in the fucking residential vaults.
Luma
03:35:39Yeah, it was really dangerous. There was monsters down there. You saw my report.
Dungeon Master
03:35:44Yeah, there’s monsters down there, there’s fucking…03:35:47Oh.03:35:48I don’t.03:35:49want to think about this anymore. YouTube, get out, and I’ll leave later.03:35:54Go on.
Luma
03:35:54Okay.

Luma
03:36:00I don’t have a robe.
Hazel
03:36:03Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:36:03Dude.
Luma
03:36:04There was a comment about that earlier.03:36:07If I need to make one, I can make one.
Hazel
03:36:09No, no, that’s not.03:36:11that won’t be necessary.03:36:13And
Luma
03:36:14Okay.
Hazel
03:36:15disrobing.03:36:16- Disrobing is another word for getting naked.
Luma
03:36:19Why was I naked?
Hazel
03:36:21Um,03:36:22I’ve-03:36:23needed to think of an excuse as to why we were alone in an in-room.
Luma
03:36:28I don’t think I can lie about that. That’s really weird.
Temerity
03:36:31Hehehehe.
Hazel
03:36:31She nods.03:36:32It says, I suppose…03:36:36I suppose people would.03:36:37I suppose some people could find it.03:36:40uh,03:36:40Apologies.03:36:41I can’t.
Luma
03:36:42That’s OK.03:36:44As they’re leaving, Luma’s still feeding paper to her bag.03:36:48She also says, oh, yeah, by the way, how did your interview go?03:36:52because uh03:36:53Could you give me a good word in case I need to get a job there too?
Hazel
03:36:56Oh, no, I won’t.
Iva
03:36:57- Yeah.
Hazel
03:36:57there.
Luma
03:36:59Oh, what happened?
Hazel

Luma
03:37:10Oh.03:37:11Okay.03:37:13Oh.
Hazel
03:37:13called me trash.
Luma

Hazel
03:37:19Oh, yes.03:37:22She, uh,03:37:23It called me trash.
Luma
03:37:26You want to go graffiti their stuff all night?
Hazel
03:37:28laughs
Temerity
03:37:29laughter
Rhysaene
03:37:29Thank you.
Hazel
03:37:30She thinks about it for a second and goes, yes.03:37:32Uh…
Luma
03:37:32Okay.
Temerity
03:37:32laughs
Luma
03:37:33Ha ha ha.03:37:34.
Hazel
03:37:35um,03:37:36And Luma, I was thinking about this actually,03:37:40I am I’m quite.03:37:42I’m quite proficient with an herbalist’s03:37:46with herbalist supplies and I understand that you are are are going to crafter we could03:37:52always try to03:37:54Sell things.
Luma
03:37:55Oh yeah, we’re out of business.
Hazel
03:37:58- Yeah.03:38:02All right.03:38:03Oh.
Dungeon Master
03:38:05It always comes to this in a D&D game.
Hazel
03:38:08laughs
Temerity
03:38:08We can start a business.
Hazel
03:38:10Uh,
Luma
03:38:10Maybe we could convince Rhys to sell her art with us.03:38:13We can make her supplies.
Hazel
03:38:15- Fuck.03:38:16I wonder if healing potions are… Are healing potions taboo in Argentum? They’re kind of magic.
Dungeon Master
03:38:22- Okay, so what’s your passive perception?
Hazel
03:38:25No, I’m not saying that to the…03:38:28to the guy, I’m just asking out of character.
Dungeon Master
03:38:31Uh-huh. And I’m asking what your passive perception is.
Hazel
03:38:32Oh,03:38:3317.
Dungeon Master
03:38:35Um,03:38:36Dalric is, uh,03:38:38opening the window and climbing out of it.
Temerity
03:38:40No.
Hazel
03:38:44- Thank you.
Temerity
03:38:45I fucking love Dalric, actually.
Iva
03:38:48- -Hm-hm.
Hazel
03:38:48She kind of like,
Luma
03:38:50was on our way out. I thought we were talking while we were
Hazel
03:38:50I don’t know.
Luma
03:38:52walking back down to the common room.
Dungeon Master
03:38:53Oh!03:38:54You guys never said that, so I assumed you were still in the room.
Luma
03:38:57No.03:38:58I specifically said while we were walking, Luma also asks.
Hazel
03:39:01Yeah.
Temerity
03:39:01True.
Dungeon Master
03:39:01Okay, okay, okay. Then that doesn’t happen. Never mind. Never mind. That’s my bad.
Luma
03:39:02My bad.03:39:03Okay.
Hazel
03:39:03Okay, okay.
Luma
03:39:04there.03:39:05Yeah.
Temerity
03:39:05Ah, fuck.03:39:07But we know that he did go out the window, hopefully.
Hazel
03:39:07Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:39:07Uh…03:39:09I imagine he was going out the window because we weren’t leaving.
Temerity
03:39:12Yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:39:12Yeah.
Hazel
03:39:13Thank you.
Luma
03:39:13I’m sorry.
Dungeon Master
03:39:13No, he was going up the window because you weren’t leaving.03:39:15But if you guys left, then that doesn’t happen.
Luma
03:39:15Yeah, no, no, no, no, we left, yeah.
Dungeon Master
03:39:18Okay.03:39:18Then you guys bump into, you see the other three downstairs.
Luma
03:39:23Hello.
Hazel
03:39:24I lied about the disrobing.03:39:26Okay.
Luma
03:39:26I don’t have a rope.
Rhysaene
03:39:28Take care.
Hazel
03:39:28case of thought.

Hazel
03:39:56We, um,03:39:58Thank you.
Luma
03:40:00We should go somewhere that doesn’t have weird connotations about in-rooms.
Hazel

Luma
03:40:15so funny because I didn’t mean it to be a joke
Hazel

Temerity
03:40:18Uh-huh.

Luma
03:40:43People.
Iva
03:40:44What’s up, Beepo?
Luma
03:40:46I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
03:40:48- Absolutely.
Temerity
03:40:49laughing
Hazel
03:40:52Oh, also we’re potentially in a lot of trouble that could tell our lives.
Temerity
03:40:56Oh, fuck.
Luma
03:40:56I like to talk about that at the apartment.
Temerity
03:40:57Again.

Temerity
03:40:58Yeah.

Temerity
03:41:00All right.
Iva

Rhysaene
03:41:05Cheechy.
Temerity

Luma
03:41:06Yeah, I’m really stressed out.
Iva

Dungeon Master
03:41:10Um,
Luma
03:41:10Uh, I found out things that will be discussed at the apartment.
Hazel
03:41:13- Yeah, stop talking.
Luma
03:41:13I don’t know.
Iva
03:41:16I have a looks to Rhys really concerned.
Rhysaene

Dungeon Master

Luma
03:41:24All right.03:41:26invites everybody into the apartment.03:41:30And then she
Temerity
03:41:33Good thing for covering your bases.
Luma
03:41:33pulls a little03:41:34construct out of her packages. This is Beepo.03:41:38I don’t know what he is.
Hazel
03:41:41Oh my goodness.
Temerity
03:41:42uh,
Iva
03:41:43It’s adorable.
Temerity
03:41:46uh,
Rhysaene
03:41:47Look at this little guy.
Temerity
03:41:50laughs
Luma
03:41:51The little cut-strike waves.03:41:54it sloshes ink like all over inside of the bottle.
Hazel
03:41:55Hazel screams.
Luma
03:41:57But interestingly, I have none pours out the top.
Temerity
03:42:00Hee!
Hazel
03:42:01nasal squeeze.03:42:02And she’s just like, oh my goodness, what is this?
Luma
03:42:07I was experimenting.
Hazel
03:42:07This is incredible.
Luma
03:42:08I was experimenting with my drawing last night and I made beep bo.
Rhysaene
03:42:13That’s gorgeous.
Hazel
03:42:16Beepo is beautiful.
Luma
03:42:16I,03:42:18I think he’s alive.
Hazel
03:42:20I think so too.
Luma
03:42:21I think I made life.03:42:21I don’t.03:42:23really know what that means.
Temerity
03:42:26laughs03:42:29laughs
Dungeon Master
03:42:31Temerity is having an existential crisis while everyone else is like, adorable!
Temerity
03:42:33Oh, God.
Luma
03:42:34Oh.
Temerity
03:42:35A little bit.
Luma
03:42:35And he could do this.03:42:36She points at a little, like…03:42:38haphazardly made03:42:40target like dartboard on our wall.03:42:42and Beepo fires a laser beam at it.03:42:46Yeah.
Hazel
03:42:46Goodness, people.
Luma
03:42:48- -
Temerity
03:42:49Yeah.03:42:51He’s just like staring jawed game.03:42:53Doesn’t even know what to say or do.03:42:58This thing is really cute.
Luma
03:42:58and I have a personal bodyguard.03:43:01Yeah.
Temerity
03:43:05Uh,
Luma
03:43:07Oh yeah, and I might lose my job.
Temerity
03:43:09Uh-huh.
Luma
03:43:12So,
Rhysaene
03:43:13Alright, is this one you wanted to talk about?
Temerity
03:43:15Yes.
Luma
03:43:16Yeah.03:43:17We went and talked to the
Iva
03:43:17So,
Luma
03:43:19the coin mentor guy. What was his name again?
Dungeon Master
03:43:23Dalric Ironmark. I’ll get you a spelling.
Hazel
03:43:24Rick, yes.
Luma
03:43:26Thank you. Dalric Ironmark. He’s a really rude dwarf that we ran into. Um,
Rhysaene
03:43:31Oh yeah, I know that prick.
Luma
03:43:32and Levault.03:43:33It turns out that03:43:35The work order that I was given03:43:38may or may not have been falsified.03:43:41Um,03:43:42And we may or may not be in a whole lot of trouble for going down in those vaults.03:43:47because they weren’t supposed to go down there03:43:49because the world recorder was a fake.03:43:51I didn’t know that at the time.03:43:54and03:43:55Yeah.
Iva
03:44:01Oh, well, that’s good. That’s not the bad news I thought you found out about.
Temerity
03:44:05Um,03:44:08What?
Iva
03:44:13Oh, what’s that?
Hazel
03:44:13one at a time.03:44:15I think it did.
Temerity
03:44:17There’s--03:44:18Okay.03:44:21So the work order was fraud, was a fraudulent work order?
Luma
03:44:21I, I,03:44:25That’s what03:44:26That’s what Dalric said.
Dungeon Master
03:44:27And.
Temerity
03:44:31Okay.
Luma
03:44:34Um,
Temerity
03:44:34Uh…03:44:37but your report didn’t.03:44:38mentioned03:44:40Anything, right?03:44:41Just…
Luma
03:44:41I gave him a copy of…03:44:43Well, I showed him a copy of my report that I already turned in.03:44:46Probably should have…03:44:47I really was tempted to just wait until after I talked to him to turn it in.03:44:50Probably should have done that.03:44:52Uh, but…03:44:53I turned it in. Anyway, um, I gave him a car. I showed him a copy of my report.03:44:58and he said that information that I said03:45:01would probably keep me out of Jeller being executed03:45:03which is I guess a positive.
Temerity
03:45:06Okay.
Luma
03:45:09But I figure you should all know since I hired you.
Temerity
03:45:09All right.
Luma
03:45:12which means that you’re03:45:13probably in,03:45:14and potential trouble as well.
Temerity
03:45:17I think we should.
Luma
03:45:17I don’t think so.
Temerity
03:45:18probably read the report that you gave in.
Luma
03:45:22Oh yeah, sure, here.03:45:23We’ll open up our journal.
Temerity
03:45:23All right.
Luma
03:45:25Call for it.
Temerity
03:45:26Perfect. Maybe he’s going to read it.03:45:28a number of times03:45:30to try and make sure that
Luma
03:45:30Thank you.
Iva
03:45:31to marry is going to turn us in.
Temerity
03:45:33they get,03:45:34their story straight.
Hazel
03:45:39Same.03:45:39Yeah.
Temerity
03:45:40Yeah.
Hazel
03:45:41We need to think of a story here and now, and we need to stick to it.03:45:44And no matter how much poking or prodding is done, we do not change it.
Rhysaene
03:45:49- Correct.
Luma
03:45:49If they ask you about the details,03:45:52We can’t say anything about it being weird.03:45:55about the dates03:45:56I think that’s the main reason that we could get in trouble.03:46:01Just--
Temerity
03:46:01I,
Luma
03:46:01say that it was dark.03:46:03and that there were monsters and we were too busy03:46:07You are too busy protecting me.03:46:09while I was doing my job.03:46:11And that should be
Rhysaene
03:46:11Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:46:12Pretty good enough.03:46:14plausible deniability.03:46:15If anything, you can say the good old, I don’t recall,03:46:19because it was so dangerous.
Temerity
03:46:23Mm-hmm.03:46:25All right.
Luma
03:46:26I have a repeat after me. I don’t recall, officer.
Temerity
03:46:26All right, all right.
Iva
03:46:29I don’t recall, officer. All I was there was protecting Luma.
Temerity
03:46:29Heh.
Luma
03:46:30- Yeah.03:46:31- Let’s see.
Hazel
03:46:34- True, we have a good alibi03:46:38We were hired and less sold.03:46:40we didn’t see anything out of the ordinary because it’s not our job to see anything out of the ordinary.
Rhysaene
03:46:40Uh-huh.
Hazel
03:46:46and the
Temerity
03:46:46Yes.
Luma
03:46:46Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:46:48Exactly.
Luma
03:46:49I’m really…
Iva
03:46:49I don’t know.03:46:49I could,03:46:50I can’t read.03:46:51Any of the numbers or anything down there? I don’t read.
Luma
03:46:55I’m really, really worried about I’m going to lose my job.
Temerity
03:46:55Yeah.
Luma
03:46:57I really like my job.
Temerity
03:47:00Well, I hope you don’t lose your job, Luma.03:47:04If you…03:47:05to03:47:07uh,03:47:08you know, we’re always here for you.
Luma
03:47:12I don’t have a whole lot of money saved up, and if I run out, I’m going to have to go back home.03:47:16That’s going to really suck.
Dungeon Master
03:47:18Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:47:21Oh, speaking of home,
Dungeon Master
03:47:21There is…03:47:22Yeah.
Luma
03:47:23suddenly like sauce her eyes.03:47:26She like,03:47:27looks over at a package and03:47:29- Yeah.03:47:30Yeah.03:47:31Oh, right. Actually, I might have to go home anyway.03:47:35Um,
Temerity
03:47:35Huh?
Luma
03:47:36I got a letter from…03:47:38from my grandpa03:47:40uh,03:47:41Who…03:47:42was passing along a letter from my great grandfather03:47:45It disappeared…03:47:47in the Elder Exodus.03:47:49Here’s the reason that I’m a cartographer.03:47:52And,03:47:54trying to be an adventurer once again enough money to actually afford being an adventurer.03:47:59Um,03:48:01He gave me this letter.
Temerity
03:48:03We’ll do it.
Luma
03:48:03Uh,03:48:06Uh…03:48:08How do I…03:48:10It’s a letter that he was asking my grandfather to look into a place nearby Erhadell.03:48:18Um,03:48:19which my grandfather didn’t do.03:48:22Probably because he believes that my great-grandfather is crazy, but I don’t think he’s crazy.03:48:26Um,
Temerity
03:48:27Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:48:27anyway.03:48:28You mentioned that there was a corrupted tree out there that might be spreading03:48:33bad roots.03:48:34And I really want to go and try and find it to make sure that the sorrow isn’t going to attack my hometown.03:48:42Granted, that was 60 years ago.03:48:44So.
Temerity
03:48:46Ha!03:48:46Ha ha ha.
Luma
03:48:48If there was a corrupted tree, there’s probably at least two more corrupted trees.
Hazel
03:48:52Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:48:53Trees are pretty slow.
Rhysaene
03:48:53- Huh.
Temerity
03:48:55This is…03:48:56This is so much.03:48:57Um,03:48:59laughing03:49:01- Yeah.03:49:02That’s how I hope to it.03:49:04which mean,
Luma
03:49:04Oh yeah, and another thing, I bet you I’m really stressed out
Temerity
03:49:07I…
Iva
03:49:08Yeah.
Temerity
03:49:09that’s very fair.
Luma
03:49:11I was really hoping for a pat on the back of the race, and I’m gonna get fired instead.
Dungeon Master
03:49:15Um,03:49:17It’s obviously up to you, Eylesis, but you are, of course, welcome to share as much of the handouts as you want.
Luma
03:49:23Oh, yeah. Yeah, actually, yeah, I could post a, um,03:49:26the letter.03:49:27If anybody wants to read, she’s going to keep them other letter, but she’ll post the, um,
Rhysaene
03:49:28Yeah.
Luma
03:49:32Uh, should I put it in party notes?
Dungeon Master
03:49:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, put it in party notes since it’s03:49:37Handouts.
Luma
03:49:39I’ll put a03:49:42Ladder from Eliath to Mathas.03:49:47govern tool or more.03:49:54Yeah, anybody who wants to read Ellen will gladly share.03:49:57She doesn’t share the other letter.03:49:58but that’s mostly because it’s just a personal one.03:50:03Oh,03:50:03And then she also brings out a sketch.03:50:05Uh,03:50:06which is in my secrets channel.03:50:10This was the map that03:50:11That.03:50:12well, a sketch, I guess.03:50:14I wouldn’t really consider it on that.03:50:16Honestly, I’m kind of disappointed in the map quality.03:50:19But I think it might have been hastily drawn.03:50:23Maybe drawn from only partial memories.03:50:24I’m not entirely sure.03:50:26but it’s not a whole lot to go off of.03:50:36Three bodies of water and a rough smattering of particular trees is like03:50:43I don’t know if you know this, but there are a whole lot of trees around Erhadell.03:50:46Like a whole lot of trees.
Temerity
03:50:46laughs
Hazel
03:50:46Hmm.
Luma
03:50:49And a rock.03:50:49I don’t know what the rock is.03:50:50It’s just way out there.03:50:52I don’t know what kind of landmark Arrak is.
Hazel
03:50:55But,
Luma
03:50:55A dumb one, for sure.
Hazel
03:51:07Okay.03:51:09- Interesting.03:51:15Well,03:51:16uh,03:51:21Yeah, you know, a trip to Erhadell sounds like a great idea.
Temerity
03:51:21Okay.
Hazel
03:51:24No, I could do.
Rhysaene
03:51:25Keep
Temerity
03:51:26- Yeah.
Luma
03:51:26I don’t know if leaving right away is such a good idea, though, if they come around asking…
Hazel
03:51:28No, that’s a terrible idea.03:51:30Yeah.
Luma
03:51:30questions.
Rhysaene
03:51:30Yeah, that03:51:32That will make
Luma
03:51:32and I flood down
Rhysaene
03:51:33Yeah, that would03:51:34That will make our last point on you.
Hazel
03:51:37Uh,
Luma
03:51:39Oh, that means I got to sit here waiting for that to clear up.03:51:42I gotta wait to find out if I’m gonna get fired.03:51:44If I go back home and say that I’m fired, I’m gonna be a laughing stock.
Dungeon Master
03:51:48uh,03:51:49Anyone who reads the letter and looks at the sketch can give me an intelligence check.03:51:54Eylesis, you can do it with advantage and make it a cartographer’s tools check.
Temerity
03:52:01- Yeah.
Hazel
03:52:02That’s wild.
Rhysaene
03:52:03I won’t be that good.
Temerity
03:52:04That was a D10.
Rhysaene
03:52:06We’ll see.
Iva
03:52:07It’s.
Temerity
03:52:08Oh, shit.
Rhysaene
03:52:09Ooh.
Temerity
03:52:10much better than I have any right to have done.
Luma
03:52:13I rolled really fucking good.03:52:14Uh…03:52:17Partographer’s check is a seven.
Iva
03:52:21I changed.
Luma
03:52:2125.
Dungeon Master
03:52:2425.
Temerity
03:52:24am.
Luma
03:52:26Yeah.
Iva
03:52:28Mine was wrong.
Temerity
03:52:29We rolled the same thing.
Dungeon Master
03:52:3117.
Temerity
03:52:31I also rolled an AT.
Luma
03:52:34I need to be right back for like 15 seconds.
Dungeon Master
03:52:37Okay.
Temerity
03:52:38Bye-bye.
Dungeon Master
03:52:39And I will hold for like 15 seconds.
Temerity
03:52:40Oh.03:52:41like,03:52:42I’m having a hard time RPing Temerity in this moment
Hazel
03:52:42this
Temerity
03:52:44because it is so much.03:52:45Temerity’s jaw agape.
Dungeon Master
03:52:46Yeah, it’s a lot.
Rhysaene
03:52:47Yeah, yeah, it’s a lot to drop.
Temerity
03:52:48holding up a hand to block out Beepo.
Iva
03:52:50Uh,
Temerity
03:52:53So that Temerity just doesn’t have to deal with that right now.
Rhysaene
03:52:55I’m sorry.
Hazel
03:52:56- Thank you.03:53:00intricate web, I believe, will have been
Rhysaene
03:53:02This is just my little girl. This is just my little guy and it’s the most cursed object that Temerity has ever seen.
Temerity
03:53:08Uh-huh. Just magic. Living magic.03:53:16It’s just like, what’s the implications of this, man?
Hazel
03:53:21Well,03:53:24I’m glad that03:53:25uh,03:53:27I’m glad that we ended up talking to that guy.
Temerity
03:53:30Yeah.
Rhysaene
03:53:30No, this is actually good because this would have blindsided the fuck out of us.
Temerity
03:53:35Yeah.
Hazel
03:53:35Uh-huh.
Luma
03:53:36All right.03:53:37I’m back, so sorry.
Dungeon Master
03:53:38Um,
Temerity
03:53:38Welcome back.
Luma
03:53:38That took a little longer, 15 seconds.
Dungeon Master
03:53:40Temerity.03:53:42With a 17 looking at this, there’s something about it that is…03:53:48There’s something about this sketch of this grove that is familiar to you, but you can’t put your finger on what?03:53:55Luma, same kind of deal.03:53:58There’s something about this grove that is incredibly familiar to you.03:54:02Um,03:54:03And it is an itch at the back of your mind03:54:06the more you stare at it, that this is not…03:54:08You’ve seen this Grove before, except no.03:54:12You’ve never been to like a weird grove outside of Erhadell.03:54:17Mathas has never mentioned it.03:54:19Your dad has never mentioned it.03:54:20Neither of them have ever mentioned corrupted trees.03:54:23um,03:54:25And you can’t help but think about what Mathas said03:54:28in his letter to you.03:54:30He specifically says he doesn’t remember any of this.03:54:35So there’s something…03:54:38There’s something off about all this.03:54:41that like03:54:44I don’t know. It’s, it’s,03:54:46It doesn’t make sense.03:54:48It’s…03:54:49It’d be one thing if you were given a specific task03:54:52and a specific way to find that task.03:54:55But it feels very much like…03:54:57uh,03:54:58like you’re missing very important information.03:55:03Um,03:55:05And why that is does not instantly occur to you from just like the first like03:55:12Because this is like…03:55:14you haven’t had a lot of time to sit with this.03:55:16Maybe time to like pour over this, to pour over like,03:55:20whatever information you have about Erhadell, like your personal journals or something, whatever, like maybe with time, you could specifically03:55:30Figure more out, but just like…03:55:35The most standout thing is that it feels like03:55:39It feels like…03:55:40It feels like this letter from Eliath is kind of insane.03:55:44and doesn’t make any sense.
Luma
03:55:46it.
Dungeon Master
03:55:49Uh, what did you say? Sorry.
Luma
03:55:51or coded.
Dungeon Master
03:55:52or coded.
Temerity
03:56:06Mm-hmm.03:56:07Mm-mm.
Luma
03:56:07I don’t know.03:56:08It’s really worrying and also this is the only03:56:11information that I’ve ever03:56:13scene about my grand-grandfather, which also suggests that he was alive 60 years ago, which means he didn’t die on the Elder Exodus, which means he might be out there somewhere.
Temerity
03:56:22Yeah.
Luma
03:56:23which is huge.
Temerity
03:56:23Uhhh…
Luma
03:56:24Like really important to me.
Temerity
03:56:24That is.03:56:27I mean that.03:56:28That’s.03:56:29That is huge.03:56:34Wow.03:56:38- Yeah.03:56:51uh,03:56:53I…03:56:54I’m sorry, this is so much all at once.
Luma
03:56:58Yeah, sorry, that was…
Rhysaene
03:56:58Hmm.
Luma
03:57:00A few bombshells.
Temerity
03:57:03No, that’s okay.03:57:06Yeah.03:57:06All right.03:57:09I don’t know.03:57:11What?03:57:13the next few weeks are going to look like for me.03:57:16But…03:57:17I think we should say low.03:57:19in the city.03:57:20Wait to see what happens with03:57:25apparently the fraudulent work order03:57:28And then depending on how things shake up after that,03:57:32If you decide to go back to Erhadell,03:57:34uh,03:57:36to03:57:38carry out the wishes in this letter.
Luma
03:57:40Actually,
Temerity
03:57:40I’ll try my best so.03:57:42Go ahead.
Luma
03:57:42I was actually thinking maybe we go talk to Hecate.
Hazel
03:57:48Thank you.
Luma
03:57:49math mathis says that he didn’t know anything about this glade so going over there isn’t really gonna03:57:54judging the thing and I’ll be honest03:57:56I think I’ve explored almost everything there is to explore in that area out there.03:58:01I grew up in those forests and this doesn’t seem like familiar at all.
Rhysaene
03:58:05Hmm.
Hazel
03:58:06- Hey, so…03:58:08And so.03:58:11drinking.03:58:12Um,
Rhysaene
03:58:14Bye.
Hazel
03:58:16to…03:58:16Sorry.
Rhysaene
03:58:17I’ll let her, oh, go ahead.
Hazel
03:58:19No, no, it’s okay.
Rhysaene
03:58:22I keep mentioning sickness.03:58:27Is that sorrow?
Luma
03:58:31I don’t know.
Rhysaene
03:58:39Mm-hmm.
Luma
03:58:40He mentions returning to it in trance.03:58:43I don’t know if you know anything about that.03:58:45but elves don’t sleep.
Hazel
03:58:46Mm-hmm.
Temerity
03:58:51- Yeah.
Hazel
03:58:52Yeah, Hazel nods to that.03:58:53Like, yeah, everyone knows that.
Iva
03:58:54That’s weird.
Luma
03:58:56We,
Hazel
03:58:56I don’t know.
Luma
03:58:57we think about03:58:58things that we’ve done in our past.03:59:00and try and learn from them.03:59:02Um.03:59:03So this is the place that he keeps going to in his dreams.03:59:05But…03:59:06My grandfather told me that, um,03:59:09Way, way back before the--03:59:13Starfall.03:59:14Elves used to dream about past lives and stuff like that and other03:59:17things.03:59:18I wonder if maybe
Dungeon Master
03:59:19This is cool.
Luma
03:59:20Aliath is dreaming about03:59:22a place that he’s never actually been to.03:59:38Pretty sure that’s an impossible thing, but that’s something that I was thinking about.
Hazel
03:59:40I think.
Temerity
03:59:42Peter Rushforth: Maybe, um,03:59:47uh,03:59:50Is there any way that you’d be able to communicate with Hecate without03:59:55having to go03:59:56all the way to Silverthorn Hazel.
Hazel
04:00:01um,04:00:03Yeah, my sisters and I can04:00:08Uh,04:00:11Uh, can send word, uh,
Luma
04:00:13I guess some people.
Hazel
04:00:15do it.
Temerity
04:00:15- Ah.
Hazel
04:00:15Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:00:15Thank you.
Luma
04:00:16I can…
Hazel
04:00:17but,
Luma
04:00:17He can fly04:00:18You wouldn’t think so, but apparently he can fly.
Temerity
04:00:20Oh, God.
Hazel
04:00:20Thank you.
Temerity
04:00:21Oh, God.
Dungeon Master
04:00:23The goop like bubbles out of the bottle
Temerity
04:00:23of flame.04:00:24laughs
Dungeon Master
04:00:26and it becomes a little hot air balloon.
Hazel
04:00:28Thank you.
Luma
04:00:28Yeah.
Hazel
04:00:29uh,04:00:30laughs04:00:30Yes.04:00:31Paisal kind of giggles at that a little. She finds that humorous, but she is…04:00:37I worry that if04:00:43that if Hecate saw that approaching the04:00:46the farm without prior notice, people would be no more.
Rhysaene
04:00:50Thank you.
Temerity
04:00:52-
Luma
04:00:52What if I gave them04:00:53What if I gave up my hat?
Hazel
04:00:55Um,04:00:56I mean,04:00:58Well,04:00:59there.04:01:01My mistress knows.04:01:03uh,04:01:04That was a04:01:05No sage and the magic that surrounds her, I’m sure.04:01:09Uh,
Luma
04:01:09Oh, true.
Hazel
04:01:10She can…04:01:11uh,04:01:12Her form is not bound to the one that04:01:16that she04:01:17that she often chooses.
Luma
04:01:20Oh,04:01:20Sage, can you fly?
Hazel
04:01:23Oh.
Temerity
04:01:24laughs
Dungeon Master
04:01:25Thank you.
Iva
04:01:25Thank you.
Hazel
04:01:25I don’t know.
Rhysaene
04:01:26Yeah.
Luma
04:01:27I don’t speak dog, but I really hope that that’s a yes, in which case that’s so cool.
Hazel
04:01:32Well, she can…
Luma
04:01:34Wait, is Sage a person04:01:37Like you…
Hazel
04:01:40Uh,04:01:41Well, I…04:01:42support.04:01:44People kind of like04:01:46It’s a little pouty. It goes like, well, that’s a matter of debate on some circles, but I like to think that she is.
Luma
04:01:52I mean, is she like a witch that turns into animals?04:01:55It just hasn’t turned back yet.
Hazel
04:01:55Oh.04:01:57No.
Luma
04:01:58Oh, okay, phew.
Hazel
04:01:58No, she’s a…04:02:00I don’t know.04:02:02She’s a magical friend.
Dungeon Master
04:02:02That’s what you think, Hazel.
Luma
04:02:03That’s true.
Hazel
04:02:03Whoa!
Luma
04:02:04Sure.
Iva
04:02:04Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:02:06It’s actually your parents.
Luma
04:02:08Thank you.
Temerity
04:02:08Yeah, both of them.
Hazel
04:02:09Uh,04:02:09- Yeah.04:02:10Both of the
Iva
04:02:12I formed a bow and arrow.
Temerity
04:02:12Yeah.
Hazel
04:02:12We got in like a Sinclair situation.
Temerity
04:02:15They got Sinclair’s situation.
Hazel
04:02:15Uh,04:02:20Yeah, they actually hate each other.04:02:21No, um…
Luma
04:02:22Yeah.
Hazel
04:02:23No, no, she’s simply a…04:02:25She’s simply a…
Luma
04:02:25It’s perfect.
Hazel
04:02:27I guess simply, it doesn’t actually like, she would not say simply.04:02:32She is a…04:02:35She’s a familiar.
Luma
04:02:37Oh,04:02:39Okay.
Hazel
04:02:39Um,04:02:41She is04:02:46Yeah.04:02:48a spirit that04:02:51That has.04:02:53that has forged an eternal bond with me.04:02:57uh,
Luma
04:02:57Oh, you’re married.
Hazel
04:03:00gibberish04:03:02Thank you.04:03:03- Nice.04:03:04us.04:03:05pose that could be04:03:07An interpretation? She kind of like, it seems very like
Luma
04:03:09Yes.
Temerity
04:03:09Yeah.
Hazel
04:03:12where04:03:14More that she’s simply my best friend.04:03:18Which, no, not simply.
Luma
04:03:18Oh, okay.
Hazel
04:03:20This is not simple to Hazel. This is life or death. This is everything.
Temerity
04:03:25This is Ride or Die.
Hazel
04:03:27Um,04:03:30She is, yeah, she is my04:03:34the04:03:36She’s my friend. We’re just friends.
Luma
04:03:39Bye.04:03:40We’re just friends.
Hazel
04:03:46um,04:03:48though04:03:51Um,04:03:54I also have magics that allow me to04:03:58communicate with people.04:04:01via…04:04:02via…04:04:04Uh…04:04:05by animals.04:04:07And I believe that’s what my sisters use, though I don’t know if my magic can reach04:04:13could reach Crick’s Bend04:04:16with the, uh,04:04:19with my current like04:04:23Magical prowess.
Temerity
04:04:27uh,04:04:31you…04:04:33have a sister here in the city that you could
Hazel
04:04:37Yeah.04:04:37I have a system here.04:04:41who I’m staying with.04:04:43Um,04:04:45And yeah, she could help me out.04:04:48So,04:04:49What I wonder is,
Iva
04:04:50and
Hazel
04:04:52Uh, cat.
Dungeon Master
04:04:54Yeah.
Hazel
04:04:55Does Hazel know if she has any sisters out near Eridale?
Dungeon Master
04:05:01Um,04:05:03She knows that she doesn’t know of any that are out that way.04:05:08Um,04:05:09Other than…04:05:12As far as she knows, other than Calypso,04:05:15And the sisters who still live at the farm, the others are kind of nomadic.
Hazel
04:05:20Yeah, okay.
Dungeon Master
04:05:22um,04:05:24They tend to roam around the Vale.
Hazel
04:05:28- Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
04:05:31up.04:05:34Yeah.
Hazel
04:05:35Yeah, because that’s the…
Iva
04:05:37Thank you.
Hazel
04:05:38That’s Hazel’s immediate thinking is like, well,04:05:41If it has to do with the sorrow, there’s a strong possibility that there might be a sister that’s over there.04:05:47Um,04:05:49keeping an eye on things.04:05:53So, um.
Dungeon Master
04:05:56own.04:05:59With the intelligence checks you guys had, Luma and…04:06:04Temerity.04:06:05with the letters specifically04:06:08Why…04:06:09Why sickness instead of sorrow?04:06:12If it’s the sorrow.
Hazel
04:06:14truth.
Dungeon Master
04:06:14Why not just say the sorrow?04:06:16Why would that be something that has to be obfuscated?
Temerity
04:06:19Um,
Dungeon Master
04:06:21The sorrow is not like a secret thing.04:06:23It is the thing everybody knows about.
Temerity
04:06:36Hmm.04:06:39Herm.
Dungeon Master
04:06:40It’s possible that Eliath is just a poetic kind of writer.
Temerity
04:06:46kind of guy, yeah.
Luma
04:06:47Well, sorrow is only ever affected like04:06:50animals and stuff, right?
Dungeon Master
04:06:51No.04:06:53Although none of you really would have much reason to know this except Hazel, who for sure knows it.04:06:59Sorrow can affect plants.04:07:01It fucks up how they grow is the usual…04:07:06the usual04:07:09the usual most common symptom like trees, trees tend to grow towards light.04:07:15And if they’re sorrow afflicted, they just don’t.04:07:18Um, and, and plants, it tends to just lead to, like, withering and blights, because plants basically don’t do the things they need to do to survive.04:07:27Plants can be more sorrow corrupted than that, but that’s not something Hazel has experience with, but she is hurt.04:07:34heard that like a plant can actually be like04:07:37become like a hazard if it’s really fucked up.
Luma
04:07:44Just this.04:07:45Where’s that picture?04:07:49um,04:07:52Can I see the world map?
Dungeon Master
04:07:53Yes.04:07:55I think.
Luma
04:07:55Why does that grove remind me of the fucking…04:07:58City.
Rhysaene
04:07:59Thank you.
Temerity
04:08:00I know, right?
Dungeon Master
04:08:00Hold on.04:08:04Bye.04:08:06Think for you more.
Temerity
04:08:07It’s because of the towers.04:08:10With the fucking…
Luma
04:08:11It is the towers.
Temerity
04:08:13Yes. Oh my god.
Luma
04:08:16The big trees are the towers. Argentum is the big…04:08:19He’s talking about the city.
Hazel
04:08:21a tree.04:08:23That’s yeah, wait.04:08:25That’s all of the and the little trees are all of the are all the other.
Luma
04:08:29The towns.
Dungeon Master
04:08:32And with that,
Hazel
04:08:32Oh my god, it’s a transmutation circle!
Luma
04:08:32Okay.04:08:34Uh-huh.
Dungeon Master
04:08:35With the
Iva
04:08:35I’ll tell you about
Temerity
04:08:35Thank you.
Rhysaene
04:08:36Thank you.
Luma
04:08:36Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:08:36With that check from before, it does click fully into place.04:08:41This is not a bad map.04:08:43This is a perfect map.04:08:44It is a perfect to scale map.04:08:48map of Argentum.04:08:50or the Silver Vale.
Luma
04:08:50I might just stop trying to…04:08:53Is there a way to set transparency on objects?04:08:54Because I just fucking…
Dungeon Master
04:08:55No.
Rhysaene
04:08:55Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:08:57There’s not, unfortunately, but I can move it further back.04:09:01So it’s behind all the like markers and stuff.04:09:03Hold on.04:09:04It’s a.
Iva
04:09:04Oh, so the dead trees are the bad trees.
Luma
04:09:05Okay.
Rhysaene
04:09:06Who’s walking?
Luma
04:09:08Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:09:08What?
Rhysaene
04:09:08Also he’s talking about the old roads too.
Dungeon Master
04:09:13Amen.04:09:14We can put it on the…
Temerity
04:09:14Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:09:15And the old house.
Luma
04:09:16There we go.
Dungeon Master
04:09:19It’s going to re hold on.04:09:20It’s going to.04:09:21Unfortunately, I’m going to have to do it because it’s going to reset every time you move it.04:09:24I need to put it on like the map layer.04:09:26Where’d it go?
Luma
04:09:28I think it’s a
Dungeon Master
04:09:29Oh, fuck.
Luma
04:09:30Oh, there we go.
Iva
04:09:30Let’s figure out the map.
Dungeon Master
04:09:31Uh, no.
Iva
04:09:31I’ll be back in one moment.
Luma
04:09:32There you go.
Dungeon Master
04:09:35Uh, second.04:09:37- No, no, no.04:09:39- Whoa.
Luma
04:09:39I knew it. I fucking knew it. I was like, this is representational.
Dungeon Master
04:09:40All.
Hazel
04:09:40Thank you.
Temerity
04:09:43Uh-huh, I had a good feeling.
Hazel
04:09:43uh,
Dungeon Master
04:09:46you
Luma
04:09:47The only thing is,04:09:49The dead trees are way off the fucking map.
Hazel
04:09:51put it in the sorrow.
Dungeon Master
04:09:52You actually can’t see where the dead trees are on the…
Luma
04:09:53Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:09:57It’s about like this. This is pretty close.
Luma
04:10:00Luma slams down a world map and fucking overlays it.
Hazel
04:10:03Pewds
Temerity
04:10:04Yeah.
Hazel
04:10:05Ayyayyay.
Luma
04:10:06She conjures a vellum sheet of the…04:10:11Uh…04:10:12Eliath’s map so that it’s like04:10:14semi-transparent and overlays it04:10:17Argentum is a big tree.
Dungeon Master
04:10:18I’m not…04:10:20I’m not going to lie.04:10:21I would have given you that because like,04:10:23obviously characters can character Luma’s like at 18 intelligence or04:10:27whatever.04:10:28I would have given you that eventually.04:10:30I’m so glad you got there on your own.
Luma
04:10:32I asked about the world map when you were describing it and I like held off because you were in the middle of talking.
Temerity
04:10:32Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
04:10:37Um…
Luma
04:10:37Uh,
Temerity
04:10:38I,
Luma
04:10:38But I was like, it’s got to be a location somewhere here.04:10:42This is definitely a representational map.04:10:44uh,
Temerity
04:10:45Um,
Dungeon Master
04:10:45Uh-huh.
Luma
04:10:46the moment I saw the fucking,04:10:47uh,04:10:48the world map and,04:10:49and,04:10:50uh,04:10:51Olivia said that they were the towers04:10:54like yep there it is
Temerity
04:10:55I had the suspicion as soon as I saw it04:10:58But Temerity wouldn’t have brought it up, and I didn’t want to bring it up out of character.04:11:02But…
Dungeon Master
04:11:03uh,
Hazel
04:11:03I didn’t see shit.
Luma
04:11:03Okay.
Hazel
04:11:04Okay.
Luma
04:11:04Never mind. We don’t have to talk to Hecate. I know where we’re going.
Hazel
04:11:07uh,
Dungeon Master
04:11:08- Thanks.
Temerity
04:11:08Oh boy.04:11:11Oh.04:11:13Oh.
Dungeon Master
04:11:15And because there’s no transparency, I will say…
Temerity
04:11:15Uh,
Dungeon Master
04:11:22it becomes clear when you do this,04:11:25The…04:11:26The little lakes on the map are the points where two rivers meet.
Hazel
04:11:31And
Luma
04:11:32Okay, so what did he say?04:11:34Look at it carefully, the towering elders ringing the canopy, yup, the still dark ponds where the streams divide, yup.04:11:40the dead wood, the hollow trunks that did not survive their season,04:11:43It was a beautiful place once.04:11:44So the deadwood are the two dead trees that we can’t see.
Dungeon Master
04:11:48Presumably. And yeah, you, you,
Luma
04:11:48Right?04:11:49Presumably.
Dungeon Master
04:11:50You can see them on the map, you just in this particular thing can’t see them because it’s outside of the…
Luma
04:11:56We don’t know what’s out there.
Dungeon Master
04:11:56The known man.
Luma
04:11:57Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:11:57No, but you can overlaying this map, what you do know is that the distances are all to scale.04:12:06You can calculate the distance beyond the veil that those dead trees are.
Luma
04:12:06Yeah.04:12:11Are they perchance on the dotted red line of the big road?
Dungeon Master
04:12:15Um…
Luma
04:12:17Can I make an educated guess that’s kind of in the trajectory?
Dungeon Master
04:12:17Mm-hmm.04:12:20you,04:12:21- Yeah.04:12:23You…04:12:24The tree on the right,04:12:26If you followed the trajectory and including the fact that it seems to start to like curve south-ish,04:12:33um,04:12:34That tree on the right is pretty…04:12:38would,04:12:39Probably be pretty close.04:12:41Um,04:12:42The tree on the left.04:12:44Following the trajectory is harder to tell.04:12:47It looks like it would be south of the trajectory of the road, but like the road could veer if it continues beyond the map.04:12:54So the left tree is harder to tell.04:12:57The right tree looks like it could almost be dead on that road.
Luma
04:13:02There’s a sickness in the soil now.04:13:03He’s talking about like04:13:06The people, I assume.
Temerity
04:13:08that
Luma
04:13:09Or…
Temerity
04:13:09or underground.
Luma
04:13:09Maybe he’s talking about the hate aura.
Hazel
04:13:12- Yeah.
Luma
04:13:13Hmm.
Hazel
04:13:14There is a vovoo.04:13:16uh,04:13:17- -04:13:19going to be like, well, okay, I wrote04:13:24I didn’t write at all. That’s not true.04:13:26But I,04:13:29Mm-hmm.04:13:31I had a dream very recently where…04:13:35where Argentum was a large tree.04:13:36I could do.
Luma
04:13:38Is everybody having dreams for me? What is up with this?
Hazel
04:13:38uh,04:13:41Hmm.
Temerity
04:13:42I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
04:13:42but you get for elves not sleeping.
Hazel
04:13:44Hazel kind of like shrugs and says, I like sleep.
Temerity
04:13:45laughs
Dungeon Master
04:13:45Um,
Luma
04:13:48What do you mean you had a dream?
Dungeon Master
04:13:48limit.
Hazel
04:13:48laughs
Dungeon Master
04:13:51We, we.
Hazel
04:13:51Oh, I choose to sleep all the time.
Dungeon Master
04:13:53Luma.
Luma
04:13:53Wow.
Dungeon Master
04:13:56As a cartographer, you take out your cartography tools04:13:59and you draw straight lines.04:14:01and do the math.04:14:02So in a perfect straight line from Argentum,04:14:05the tree on the left,04:14:07is 97 miles from Argentum.
Hazel
04:14:12Oh, my goodness.
Dungeon Master
04:14:13The tree on the…
Luma
04:14:15all day of walking.
Dungeon Master
04:14:15Sorry.04:14:16The tree on the right,
Luma
04:14:17Sorry.
Dungeon Master
04:14:18is 139 miles from Argentum in a straight line, so it’d be even longer following the road.
Luma
04:14:27Far away is the big rock.
Dungeon Master
04:14:29The Big Rock…04:14:31is04:14:32You.04:14:33Fuck.04:14:35the big rock04:14:36Um,04:14:38The Big Rock is a…04:14:40140 miles roughly.04:14:45Um, but there’s another thing with the big rock, which is, um…04:14:51There’s not like a convenient road that way.04:14:53And that straight line takes you through mountains.
Luma
04:14:56Yeah, we would probably have to go up the road and around the mountains or something.
Dungeon Master
04:14:59There…
Temerity
04:14:59I wonder if the dead trees are…
Dungeon Master
04:15:00There…
Temerity
04:15:02Sorry, go ahead.
Dungeon Master
04:15:03There are two ways that might get you there,04:15:07but you don’t know enough about what’s beyond the Vale to know for sure.04:15:10One of the ways is following the river past Erhadell through a gap in the mountains,04:15:15and then hoping that you can hook around.
Luma
04:15:16Oh, right.
Dungeon Master
04:15:17The other is taking the Ice Fork…04:15:21or the fork road.04:15:22out almost straight west,04:15:25and then hoping you can hook back north.
Luma
04:15:28Um,04:15:29Remind me again, when we talked to Drek,04:15:32Again…
Dungeon Master
04:15:33Yeah.
Luma
04:15:33the sword guy.04:15:35Which direction did he say the ghost city was?
Dungeon Master
04:15:37He said the ghost city was in the East.
Hazel
04:15:40Yes.
Luma
04:15:40Maybe that’s what that branch is.04:15:42Dead branches is dead cities.
Hazel
04:15:42Yeah.
Temerity
04:15:43Yeah.
Hazel
04:15:45Yeah, because all the…
Temerity
04:15:45Yeah.
Hazel
04:15:48All the cities are signified by a by a tree. Yeah.
Temerity
04:15:53And maybe the dead, not the dead, but the rock is another,04:15:56Dwarven hold.04:15:58like Argentum used to be.
Hazel
04:15:58make.
Luma
04:16:00I’m almost crying a little bit looking over this map.
Temerity
04:16:03Aww.
Rhysaene
04:16:03Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:16:05to marry you.
Luma
04:16:05I know he was a really good cartographer. This is so cool.
Dungeon Master
04:16:08I don’t know.
Temerity
04:16:08-
Hazel
04:16:09- Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:16:11It’s real pretty.
Temerity
04:16:13Oh, wow.04:16:16sigh
Luma
04:16:18I just wish he was a little more literal because I don’t know what this means.
Hazel
04:16:22Mmm.
Temerity
04:16:22Well,04:16:25I think we’re gonna have to go back down under the city eventually.
Luma
04:16:31We’re going to do that.
Temerity
04:16:34Uh,04:16:37whatever this rod is04:16:39I04:16:41keep thinking about that.
Luma
04:16:44Maybe it’s
Temerity
04:16:45spot we found in the mine shaft.
Rhysaene
04:16:49Uh-huh.
Luma
04:16:49of04:16:50if we steal the04:16:54Oh.04:16:55If we somehow manage to get our hands on one of those turn04:16:59turnstomp things.04:17:01We might be able to go into the road.04:17:05Maybe that’s where the rot’s coming from.
Dungeon Master
04:17:09Um,
Hazel
04:17:09in my dream04:17:12Uh, the.04:17:13the roots of the tree reach down to the04:17:17Um,04:17:19they reach down to the04:17:21uh,04:17:23to a place that was, uh, that was incredibly hot.04:17:27And when, once they did, they started to, uh, they started to wither.04:17:32Could be that it’s the Everfire.
Luma
04:17:36Oh.04:17:37That would be really problematic because a lot of the Everfire comes up to the city.
Dungeon Master
04:17:42Um,
Temerity
04:17:42I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
04:17:43One thing I will point out, which is not to change your minds, and it might not actually change anything, it’s just to be completely clear.04:17:52This map was made at least 60 years ago.04:17:56The letter that you guys have read is at least 60 years old.04:18:01The letter specifically is dated 60 years ago.04:18:05Um,04:18:07So these are things that Eliath made and sent to his son,04:18:1360 years ago and04:18:15now his son has sent to Luma.
Temerity
04:18:18Uh-huh.
Luma
04:18:20When was the lanterns put in the city?
Dungeon Master
04:18:24The Everfire, the lava lamps.
Luma
04:18:27Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:18:28That, I don’t know exactly, but that’s pretty…04:18:31Recent, I want to say, that’s like those started going up like04:18:36a few decades ago.
Luma
04:18:39And I wonder if the reason they put those in wasn’t to heat the city,04:18:43but to keep sink below the grounds.
Hazel
04:18:46Mm-hmm.
Dungeon Master
04:18:46- Yeah.
Iva
04:18:46Sorry about that.
Temerity
04:18:47laughs
Luma
04:18:49because it’s getting too hot down there.
Temerity
04:18:52Maybe, yeah.04:18:54Whoa.
Luma
04:18:54Well, the only leads that we have so far are the really04:18:57Really spooky.04:19:00feeling that we had down there.04:19:02and also04:19:03The even spookier big door.
Hazel
04:19:05Thank you.
Temerity
04:19:06Yes, the big door.
Luma
04:19:07Seems like the big door probably goes deeper.
Hazel
04:19:11- Yeah.04:19:12Yeah.04:19:15likely leads to the04:19:18I don’t know.04:19:21It likely leads…04:19:23Yeah.
Iva
04:19:25Okay.
Hazel
04:19:25all over the place.04:19:27before the star folder04:19:31was a04:19:33There was a kind of place that existed below the surface.04:19:37Far, far be, is there, please?
Luma
04:19:41Oh.
Dungeon Master
04:19:42Hazel.04:19:43Give me a history click.
Hazel
04:19:43Yeah.04:19:46Sure.04:19:46Sorry, am I not supposed to know that?
Dungeon Master
04:19:48No, that’s totally fine.04:19:50I’m seeing if you know a little bit more than that or have a puzzle piece that you can put in place.
Hazel
04:19:57Yeah, 16.
Dungeon Master
04:19:57related to that04:19:5916 is pretty good.04:20:00You’re thinking about it and you’re thinking, I presume you’re hinting at the idea of the underdark.
Hazel
04:20:05Yeah, yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:20:07um,04:20:07Yes, before the Starfall, no one’s going to go that far down, because if surface creatures getting fucked up by the Sorrow is bad,04:20:19think about like the shit that’s in the Underdark.
Temerity
04:20:22Which is already super scary.
Dungeon Master
04:20:22Um,04:20:24But one aligning fact does, like, cross your mind.04:20:28The Underdark isn’t just subterranean, it’s deep subterranean.04:20:31The Underdark doesn’t start…04:20:34until about three miles below the surface.04:20:37which is exactly the depth of the Fardrimm Gate.
Hazel
04:20:41Brew!04:20:42Yes, it was a gate to the underdog.
Rhysaene
04:20:45Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:20:46Hazel kind of exclaims.
Dungeon Master
04:20:47Uh,04:20:48And the…
Temerity
04:20:48laughs
Luma
04:20:48Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:20:49The other thing I will add to that, which is something that all of you know, because Luma said it,04:20:54here lies the Farad’um, the deep road.
Hazel
04:20:59Mm-hmm.04:21:02It’s a road that goes…04:21:04that goes through the Underdark.
Temerity
04:21:05The old path.
Rhysaene
04:21:06Yeah, the old pods, yeah.
Hazel
04:21:08And.
Temerity
04:21:09I think we’re supposed to walk the deep road, deep roads.
Hazel
04:21:12Oh, well…
Luma
04:21:12Oh yeah, he literally did say the old paths.
Temerity
04:21:12Yeah.
Hazel
04:21:13Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:21:14Bye.
Hazel
04:21:15Yeah.
Luma
04:21:17OK, we’ve got our plan.04:21:19Who wants to go digging?
Hazel
04:21:20Um, well…
Temerity
04:21:21you
Hazel
04:21:22We need to get a…04:21:24Unless we can…04:21:25Unless we can somehow04:21:27break a seal that may have been put in place by a…
Luma
04:21:31No, no, no.
Hazel
04:21:32by a divine being.
Luma
04:21:33You know what’s really…04:21:34You know what’s really great about seals? They’re only as strong as the frame.
Hazel
04:21:37Well…
Temerity
04:21:38Yeah.
Hazel
04:21:39That’s true.04:21:40So do we…04:21:42we fought those…04:21:46uh,04:21:48We fought those spiders because they were able to pierce the get around the the.04:21:54the barrier. If we04:21:56go digging.04:21:58around the barrier, we may just04:22:00the04:22:02We may just be inviting things that04:22:04that that04:22:06that can’t go.04:22:08Like, that can’t move around a bit.04:22:09to get into the
Luma
04:22:11Yeah, no, that’s why we’re not gonna literally dig.
Hazel
04:22:12We’ll be back.
Luma
04:22:15We’re going to magically take.
Temerity
04:22:18Thank you.
Hazel
04:22:18turnstone.
Luma
04:22:18We just got to get our Zona Turnstone, yeah.
Iva
04:22:18How…
Hazel
04:22:21You have to get
Iva
04:22:21Iva goes. That’s a great caveat to something.
Hazel
04:22:24Um,
Dungeon Master
04:22:25Thank you.
Hazel
04:22:25The the.04:22:27It’s it.04:22:28Well, also turnstones are single use.04:22:30Right.04:22:30So we got to get like.
Luma
04:22:32Oh, no.
Dungeon Master
04:22:32they,
Luma
04:22:33They’re not single use. If you use them right, they don’t explode.
Hazel
04:22:37Oh, okay.
Dungeon Master
04:22:38They basically…04:22:39The way a turnar turnstone works is it, you basically, it’s a, so,04:22:44The device itself looks like a timer. It’s a dial.04:22:47If you let it wind up a full 12 hours, it works without expending any charges.04:22:54The more time you cut off of the windup, the more charges it burns to do it.
Hazel
04:22:54Okay.
Temerity
04:23:01Okay.
Dungeon Master
04:23:01And the charges do not come back.04:23:03Once it’s out of charges, it explodes.
Luma
04:23:06So we can sit down there for a full 12 hours.
Dungeon Master
04:23:07Um,
Luma
04:23:09which is totally not the scariest thing I’ve ever thought of doing.04:23:13And then it’ll pop through.
Hazel
04:23:13huge.
Temerity
04:23:15Ha ha ha.04:23:17All right.04:23:24I guess that’s…04:23:25top of our list then is to find
Luma
04:23:30And a turn sound.
Temerity
04:23:30A turnstone.
Luma
04:23:32I know of one in the04:23:36the04:23:37Bone Shields possession, but.04:23:39That seems spooky.
Dungeon Master
04:23:41And you know that it’s no longer in the Stone Shield’s possession.04:23:43Westeraselus took that.
Luma
04:23:44uh,04:23:45Yeah, the Inquisitor Lady stole it back.
Hazel
04:23:50Well, considering our work, the work we04:23:54the jobs we just did, I would not be surprised if we are, if we,04:24:00We are going to be in touch with the, with the syndicate.04:24:03short date.
Iva
04:24:04I have a good
Rhysaene
04:24:05Um, have a.
Iva
04:24:07Iva goes, well, about that.04:24:10That’s the thing I need to talk to you guys about, which was the bad news I thought you found out.
Temerity
04:24:16Mm-hmm.
Iva
04:24:17Because I went to double check.04:24:19I was really nervous because I was worried that if I didn’t check the…04:24:23dead drop.04:24:25that they would come find me and I don’t want them to find me because I don’t want them to find Rhys.04:24:33So,
Temerity
04:24:33Mm-hmm.
Iva
04:24:34Um,04:24:36I got a letter.
Luma
04:24:37It’s one half step away from Hazel just in case.
Temerity
04:24:41Mm-hmm.
Iva
04:24:42I got a letter and, uh, yeah, here.04:24:45And I will pull out the letter.04:24:48I think I’m in trouble.
Temerity
04:24:57All.
Luma
04:24:58No, I just dumped all that stuff on everybody and somehow you managed to make something even worse.
Temerity
04:25:02laughs
Iva
04:25:02Iva goes…
Luma
04:25:03That’s really impressive.
Iva
04:25:05Iva goes, I…04:25:07I don’t know. I think this one’s a little less worse than getting arrested.
Luma
04:25:15You understand that those are terrorists, right?
Iva
04:25:17I know they’re not good people.
Temerity
04:25:20Hehehehe.04:25:23Wow.04:25:25You’re not.04:25:26necessarily in trouble.04:25:28They can’t.04:25:29could just have work for you.04:25:32since you said that you had asked them for work, right?
Iva
04:25:36I did.04:25:38but this could be our way to get a turnstone.
Luma
04:25:42and debt to the terrorists.04:25:45I would rather steal it from the authorities.04:25:47That seems safer somehow.
Temerity
04:25:48- Yeah.
Iva
04:25:50Well, I was thinking of stealing from the terrorists.
Luma
04:25:53Yeah.04:25:54It seems safer somehow.
Temerity
04:25:56laughs04:26:00Given the intricate website weave, I kind of agree with Luma.04:26:03Yeah.
Hazel
04:26:04Thank you.04:26:06Oh.
Temerity
04:26:06Ah.
Luma
04:26:07uh,04:26:08Besides,
Hazel
04:26:08Good luck with that.
Luma
04:26:09If we ask them for a turnkey and they ask us why…04:26:13I can’t tell him that04:26:14We stole their stuff.04:26:16Followed their map.
Dungeon Master
04:26:18Thank you.
Luma
04:26:19and found a door.
Iva
04:26:21Well, and this is why I came and talked to you guys first.04:26:24Like you asked.
Temerity
04:26:26Hehehehe.
Hazel
04:26:28Thank you.
Temerity
04:26:28Mm-hmm. Thank you.
Luma
04:26:28Yes, you were talking to us first after doing the thing. Yes.
Iva
04:26:32I didn’t do the thing yet.
Temerity
04:26:32Man.
Luma
04:26:34Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:26:36Um,
Temerity
04:26:39Well,04:26:39If you don’t meet up with them, then they’re definitely going to look for you.
Hazel
04:26:45feed.
Dungeon Master
04:26:47There’s a small hole.04:26:48a small barrier in that idea, which is they don’t currently seem to know what Iva to look for.
Temerity
04:26:55True.
Hazel
04:26:55True. Bring a familiar face is very clearly. We need to know who you are.
Temerity
04:26:59We don’t know what you look like.
Rhysaene
04:26:59Thank you.
Luma
04:27:01We don’t know who you are.
Temerity
04:27:03Uh,
Luma
04:27:04That’s a good point.
Dungeon Master
04:27:06Um,
Temerity
04:27:07So you could avoid them entirely.
Dungeon Master
04:27:10the04:27:11Other thing I will just point out04:27:13Um,04:27:14While it’s perfectly reasonable that a directive from Eliath Drace rises to the top of your priorities,04:27:22it is a 60 year old directive if this was urgent even by elvin standards is if this was04:27:29immediate.04:27:31something would have happened already, surely.
Temerity
04:27:34Yeah.04:27:35This seems like a generational thing, especially since he says, if you can’t do it, pass it on to your children.
Hazel
04:27:35um
Dungeon Master
04:27:41Especially with that
Rhysaene
04:27:41Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:27:41This is…04:27:43Yeah, this is not a priority in the sense that Luma thinks that the city’s going to explode any day now.04:27:46This is a priority in the sense that this is the first time that she’s found out Eliath is alive.
Dungeon Master
04:27:50Yes.
Hazel
04:27:51This is the…
Dungeon Master
04:27:51I’m,
Luma
04:27:52she could easily be dissuaded to be reprioritized.
Dungeon Master
04:27:53That’s full of…
Luma
04:27:56But she’s like…
Dungeon Master
04:27:57I mean,
Hazel
04:27:57this means.
Dungeon Master
04:27:58I’m not even saying don’t prioritizing it.04:28:00I’m saying…04:28:02Don’t feel like you guys don’t have time to plan.
Luma
04:28:05Yeah.
Temerity
04:28:05Yeah.
Luma
04:28:06Yeah, we can try to find other solutions.
Hazel
04:28:06Yeah.
Temerity
04:28:06Yeah.
Hazel
04:28:07the
Rhysaene
04:28:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Temerity
04:28:11No, Temerity’s plans right now is to show up to work.
Hazel
04:28:12Mayanish.04:28:16Thank you.
Luma
04:28:17What are you going to say, Mariah?
Hazel
04:28:18Oh, I was just going to say my initial like read of the of the door jokingly being like, oh, yeah, that’s where they all went during the elder exodus.04:28:26Um,04:28:27If that was written 60 years ago, it could be that that deep road leads to wherever the fuck they all ended up.04:28:33Yeah.
Temerity
04:28:33Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:28:33Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:28:34at
Temerity
04:28:34Leads to that fucking rock.
Hazel
04:28:37Yeah, it could be that it leads to the rock, and the rock is like…04:28:40another holdout against the sorrow.
Luma
04:28:42Oh.04:28:43It could be interesting to find out that the sorrow doesn’t04:28:46penetrate underground.04:28:48and we can travel long distances in the Underdark.04:28:51which seems04:28:52Dangerous for a different reason.
Hazel
04:28:54nether highway.
Luma
04:28:55But…
Temerity
04:28:55Yeah.
Luma
04:28:56Ha ha ha ha.
Hazel
04:28:57.
Luma
04:28:57Yeah.
Temerity
04:28:57Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:28:57Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:28:57uh,
Luma
04:28:59Let’s go to the most dangerous place to skip the fucking depression beam.
Hazel
04:28:59That is also…04:29:03That is also true, and that could then mean that the seal is in fact not to keep things going.
Luma
04:29:04Thank you.
Hazel
04:29:10out from the city, but to keep people from the city from going through the04:29:17Duh.
Dungeon Master
04:29:17Um,
Luma
04:29:18Possibly.
Hazel
04:29:18from leaving.
Dungeon Master
04:29:20uh,04:29:22It is late in the evening in the game and also getting later in real life.04:29:27And there is still one other thing I would like to…04:29:30One other thing on the agenda for in-game today. So you guys don’t have to wrap up now. If you have more planning you want to do, you do not have to split. However, I would like to…04:29:41enough time set aside when you do split for one last thing,04:29:45unless you guys are deciding to all stay at Luma’s for the night.
Luma
04:29:49And it…
Temerity
04:29:49No, Temerity’s got to go to the barracks.
Hazel
04:29:50I mean,04:29:51Yeah, I think in the, like, I think,04:29:56There was a lot of shit that got talked about.
Dungeon Master
04:29:58Yes. And you guys can keep going, to be clear.
Rhysaene
04:29:58Yeah.
Luma
04:29:59- Yeah.
Hazel
04:29:59But, but,
Dungeon Master
04:30:00I don’t need to stop.
Hazel
04:30:02Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff that got talked about.04:30:06um04:30:07But.04:30:08Right now, this is kind of this is Hazel in character trying to04:30:13like what we should prioritize is we need to prioritize our safety
Luma
04:30:13Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:30:17from04:30:18what we just like,04:30:20from from the excursion we were just on.
Rhysaene
04:30:22Oh.
Hazel
04:30:22um
Temerity
04:30:23Yes.
Hazel
04:30:23We need to we.04:30:25We need to all be on the same page about our stories.04:30:29We, for all that we know,04:30:31We were just doing a job for a friend.04:30:34And we didn’t see anything down there.
Rhysaene
04:30:35Yeah.
Hazel
04:30:37It looked like you have…04:30:39You have your report.04:30:40The report is a very good alibi.
Luma
04:30:41Yeah.04:30:44Oh, thank you.
Hazel
04:30:46Yeah, of course.04:30:47um,
Dungeon Master
04:30:47I feel good.
Hazel
04:30:50All that we can do now is just lay low.04:30:57I have a
Iva
04:30:59Yeah.
Hazel
04:31:00Thank you for telling us about everything.04:31:05I hope that your04:31:07meeting with the Tarnar goes04:31:10Well,
Iva
04:31:12Yeah, if I don’t come back, will you guys miss me?
Hazel
04:31:16If you don’t come back, I’ll find you.
Temerity
04:31:16Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:31:18um,
Rhysaene
04:31:18Yes.
Dungeon Master
04:31:19I had to step away for a second is I have a planning to, to,04:31:23to meet with the turner beyond the, the,04:31:27The request for work.
Iva
04:31:31What do you mean?
Luma
04:31:31Shout out to the meeting tomorrow.
Dungeon Master
04:31:31present this.
Hazel
04:31:31- No, I just said that, yeah, as in like good,04:31:34’cause she showed the letter and everything.
Dungeon Master
04:31:35Okay, okay, okay.04:31:36Yeah.04:31:39Awesome possum.
Temerity
04:31:41some person.04:31:43I think
Hazel
04:31:43Hazel’s trying not to like, Hazel’s trying to be a better, a better party member.
Temerity
04:31:50Hee hee hee hee.
Hazel
04:31:50She’s like, okay, I’m not going to like yell at you for this.04:31:54I should just wish you luck because yeah, I’d be terrified.
Temerity
04:31:58Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:31:58Thank you.
Temerity
04:32:00Uh,04:32:02Mm-hmm.04:32:02I’m thinking of04:32:06doing something to help protect Iva, but also not tell Iva because…
Dungeon Master
04:32:11Thank you.
Temerity
04:32:12Tim already feels like Iva has a propensity to give things away on accident.
Rhysaene
04:32:17Thank you.
Hazel
04:32:18Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:32:18So I think Temerity is just going to04:32:21say, like, if you run into trouble, like,04:32:24just04:32:25Make as much noise as you can.
Hazel
04:32:27Hee hee.
Rhysaene
04:32:27Uh-huh.
Hazel
04:32:28- Temerity thinks back to the conversation that she had with Hazel literally last night, where she was like, “You should trust your party members!”
Temerity
04:32:35Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:32:35Thank you.
Luma
04:32:38If you get kidnapped by…
Temerity
04:32:38It’s a work in progress.
Luma
04:32:41If you get kidnapped by the Tarnar, remember you have your map on you. We know exactly where you are at all times.04:32:47And if you’ve been kidnapped, walk around in circles, and then we’ll know that you’ve been kidnapped.
Dungeon Master
04:32:51Lethal company rules.
Luma
04:32:53Yeah.
Temerity
04:32:53Yeah.
Iva
04:32:54to spin.
Dungeon Master
04:32:55Been in circles for teleport.
Luma
04:32:56- Thanks.04:32:57I wasn’t sure if the map included facings.
Temerity
04:32:57- Yeah.
Luma
04:32:59I figured, you know, walking circles.
Dungeon Master
04:32:59No, it doesn’t.04:33:01Walking circles is good.
Temerity
04:33:02Yeah, Temerity was thinking of posting up like a block or two away from wherever Iva is going to meet just like by…
Luma
04:33:03I don’t know.04:33:08- Thank you.
Dungeon Master
04:33:10Not a bad idea.
Temerity
04:33:11Paying attention to the map.04:33:13Uh, and then04:33:15let I even know, like, scream if they…04:33:18Trying to fuck you up or something and I’m going to come rushing in.
Luma
04:33:18Shit.04:33:22They picked a public location, I think, so…
Dungeon Master
04:33:24They did.
Temerity
04:33:24Yeah.
Iva
04:33:24Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:33:25Presumably.
Luma
04:33:25Thank you.
Temerity
04:33:25It’s probably going to be okay, but Temerity likes to…04:33:29safe.
Rhysaene
04:33:30Iva.
Hazel
04:33:30It was where…
Temerity
04:33:32And it’s going to be eating Temerity until Iva gets home safe.
Iva
04:33:36I’ve elapsed the wrists.
Rhysaene
04:33:38Iva, would you feel safe if I stood nearby?
Iva
04:33:42I would feel safer, yeah, but I was told to come along.
Rhysaene
04:33:49Well, I’ll stand as near as I can.
Iva
04:33:52All right.
Temerity
04:33:54just make a lot of noise.
Hazel
04:33:56Thank you.
Iva
04:33:58I don’t think that’s how that works, Temerity. I’m fairly sure they can make me be quiet.
Temerity
04:34:04You can find a way.
Rhysaene
04:34:07Uh-huh.
Iva
04:34:10Right. But if you see like,04:34:12something crazy happening.04:34:14in town, you know, just be a little more careful.04:34:17Don’t just go stabbing things, please.
Temerity
04:34:23I don’t stab.04:34:24I smash.
Iva
04:34:26Thank you.04:34:27Let me say…
Hazel
04:34:30Smash.
Temerity
04:34:30I don’t know.04:34:30I smash.
Dungeon Master
04:34:32- Okay.
Iva
04:34:37Thank you all.
Hazel
04:34:43We’re a team, I vote.
Iva
04:34:43I’m a little less scared knowing that you guys are gonna back me up, even if I make dumb mistakes.
Hazel
04:34:47- Cool.04:34:49Well,
Temerity
04:34:52Yeah.04:34:54Don’t take it as carte blanche.
Hazel
04:34:55Thank you.
Rhysaene
04:34:56Thank you.
Iva
04:34:56I tried not to make as many dumb mistakes.
Hazel
04:35:00Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:35:01They’re saying a blank check to be fucking stupid.
Iva
04:35:04No, see, that’s why I was good last night.04:35:13When I picked up my04:35:14dead drop, I went and had someone that was04:35:16familiar to picking up the dead drops04:35:18and then I walked around for04:35:20an hour trying to make sure no one was following me.04:35:22I’m not very observant at that stuff, but04:35:24I tried.
Hazel
04:35:28is a lot good work.
Rhysaene
04:35:30Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:35:33You have been implicated04:35:38with the Tarnar04:35:40far longer than04:35:42any of us have.04:35:44- Third.04:35:46- Yeah.04:35:48because we know that you don’t plan on working for them long term.04:35:53uh,04:35:54matters revolving them, I will defer to you.
Iva

Hazel
04:35:59This is taking,
Iva
04:36:01a little like excited by that.
Hazel
04:36:04This is taking a lot of strength.

Luma
04:39:03They were gonna start a business.
Hazel

Rhysaene
04:39:23Mm-hmm.
Hazel
04:39:24Sorry, Jed, but you know,04:39:27Sometimes you don’t be thinking about that kind of stuff.
Dungeon Master
04:39:31Also, your work was like as a fur trapper, that’s going to be a little hard to do in a city.
Luma
04:39:36What was the thing that
Hazel
04:39:36Well, yeah, I just go out and I kill things and think about it.
Luma
04:39:39That was a thing that never got answered.04:39:41Are healing potions a thing in…04:39:43the city.
Dungeon Master
04:39:44Um,
Luma
04:39:44Or are they…04:39:45Habu.
Dungeon Master
04:39:46No, healing potions are a thing.04:39:48The basic healing potion is like an herbal remedy.04:39:51It’s not magical.
Iva
04:39:56I just like the idea that Hazel goes around picking up all the lost pet posters.
Luma
04:40:02Heh heh.
Hazel
04:40:02Mm-hmm.
Iva
04:40:03Thank you.

Hazel
04:40:19Oh, she was an elf, couldn’t be…

Rhysaene
04:40:29Oh.
Hazel
04:40:29- Okay.04:40:30She was a half-helvin woman, couldn’t be04:40:34That much older than me 10, 20 years.
Luma
04:40:38you know, if,
Hazel

04:40:38Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:40:40if that place is owned by the same place that owns04:40:42the timber yard.04:40:44Because that place is also armed by sterling.
Hazel
04:40:50Wow.04:40:51I do.
Luma
04:40:52That was the…04:40:53Rhys.
Rhysaene
04:40:56Sorry, one second, I’m looking at my notes.
Hazel
04:40:59He he he.
Luma
04:41:00I guess.04:41:03My grandfather finalized a short contract with the04:41:07The Sterling Timber Yard and Sawmill.04:41:08That’s what we saw down04:41:10when we were leaving.04:41:13I’m actually really surprised.04:41:15They signed up for a 50-year contract.04:41:17I think that’s the shortest one I’ve ever heard of.
Hazel
04:41:19- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:41:31For whatever it’s worth, both04:41:34Both do have Sterling in the name.
Rhysaene
04:41:37Yeah.04:41:37I think they’re owned by the same people, yeah.
Iva
04:41:41It was about to ruin some contract.
Luma
04:41:43I was going to say, yeah.
Iva
04:41:45I’m not sure.
Luma
04:41:45Yeah, I’m really happy to go tell Mathas that they’re assholes.
Hazel
04:41:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Luma
04:41:49No, Luma wouldn’t say that.
Iva
04:41:50Thank you.
Luma
04:41:51But they’re not worth
Iva
04:41:51delete their contract.
Hazel
04:41:52uh,
Luma
04:41:53Not worth dealing with.
Hazel
04:41:55Um,04:41:56I wouldn’t want to.04:41:58I wouldn’t want something so petty to affect04:42:03to affect your family’s business.
Luma
04:42:06Oh, it wouldn’t affect us.04:42:08It affects them a whole lot.
Hazel
04:42:09Hehehehe
Luma
04:42:11We’re like the only lumber supplier in the entire silver family.
Hazel
04:42:11uh,
Luma
04:42:15There’s like one other.
Hazel
04:42:15laughs
Temerity
04:42:17Yeah.
Luma
04:42:19I don’t know if you noticed, there’s not very many forests in this place.
Temerity
04:42:23Hehehehehehe.
Hazel
04:42:23- Cheers.
Rhysaene
04:42:29Hmm.
Hazel
04:42:30Mm-mm.04:42:30Well,04:42:33I mean, if you…04:42:35If it’s something that you really want to do, I won’t stop you.04:42:41but
Luma
04:42:41Next time I see my grandfather.04:42:44I’ll tell them what happened.
Hazel
04:42:46like
Dungeon Master
04:42:46- Thank you.
Temerity
04:42:46Hehehehe.
Hazel
04:42:47I feel like they called an elf trash.
Rhysaene
04:42:47Thank you.
Iva
04:42:48Thank you.
Hazel
04:42:51Puh.
Iva
04:42:51Thank you.
Temerity
04:42:53we spit on that contract.
Hazel
04:42:54Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:42:57Hey, what else stick together?
Iva
04:42:57I need a memory.
Temerity
04:42:59laughs
Iva
04:42:59It’s a bit of a joke.
Rhysaene
04:43:00That’s really funny.
Luma
04:43:00What was the reason that04:43:02What was the reason that she called Hazel trash?04:43:04Was it just like…
Dungeon Master
04:43:06Well, she didn’t call Hazel trash.
Luma
04:43:06Completely out of pocket.
Dungeon Master
04:43:08Hazel has been telling people she called her trash.
Temerity
04:43:11She called her trash with her expression.
Hazel
04:43:11Yeah, I explained that04:43:14Yeah.04:43:15Her expression was like, this person is like,
Luma
04:43:16What?
Hazel
04:43:19dumps her trash fire, probably just because she’s not04:43:23uh,04:43:25She’s a little…04:43:26She’s a little odd looking, I suppose.
Dungeon Master
04:43:28Uh-huh.
Hazel
04:43:28I was wearing my nice clothes.
Dungeon Master
04:43:30You’re wearing your nice clothes.
Iva
04:43:30An odd duck.
Dungeon Master
04:43:32You didn’t…04:43:33You did not…04:43:34figure out why she looked at you like that because you immediately left.
Hazel
04:43:39Yeah.04:43:41Oh, yeah, no, Hazel.04:43:43Hazel could have totally stayed and figured out more stuff, but I think that she just04:43:47had an emotional reaction from her.
Dungeon Master
04:43:48Yeah, which is super valid.
Rhysaene
04:43:49Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:43:51It’s entirely valid.
Hazel
04:43:51Um,
Luma
04:43:54but immediately ready to, one, graffiti their entire establishment,04:43:57and two, ruin their extended contracts over…
Temerity
04:44:00Yeah.
Luma
04:44:00the slate that we’re friends.
Hazel
04:44:01You, you, you, you.
Rhysaene
04:44:01Au, au.
Iva
04:44:08All right.04:44:09And now Temerity gets to tell us that she thinks that the afterlife is just in the sorrow.
Luma
04:44:14that.04:44:15Is that the other thing?
Temerity
04:44:15Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:44:15Yeah.
Luma
04:44:16Oh my god.
Temerity
04:44:16That was the other thing, yeah.04:44:19But that’s why Temerity was like, is now a good time to Hazel?
Iva
04:44:20if
Rhysaene
04:44:22Thank you.
Temerity
04:44:24The moment’s kind of passed.04:44:25We already might let it pass unless Hazel brings it up again.
Hazel
04:44:26Hazel was just like, that’s it.04:44:28That’s not our monkey, not our circus.
Temerity
04:44:30Yeah, then let it pass.
Hazel
04:44:31Hazel doesn’t really care that there’s not an afterlife, but does kind of think that she should mention it just because, again,04:44:39In Hazel’s mind, she’s like, these people are risking their life.04:44:43every day. They might04:44:44Wanted.04:44:45that might…
Dungeon Master
04:44:46Sorry.
Hazel
04:44:46want to know that their life is worth hanging on to.
Dungeon Master
04:44:49Temerity.
Temerity
04:44:50Uh-huh.04:44:51Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:44:51Give me an intelligence check.
Temerity
04:44:53Oh boy.04:44:57I ain’t good at those eight.
Dungeon Master
04:44:59Yeah, nevermind.
Luma
04:44:59or04:45:00Luma’s day today.04:45:03You’re going to lose your job.04:45:04You’re going to be jailed.04:45:05You’re going to be killed.04:45:06Temerity, there’s no afterlife.
Dungeon Master
04:45:08-
Hazel
04:45:08Heaven isn’t real.
Temerity
04:45:08God’s heaven’s a farce.
Rhysaene
04:45:08Thank you.
Luma
04:45:08Yeah.04:45:09Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:45:10You’re welcome.
Luma
04:45:12It’s only down from here, baby.
Temerity
04:45:14laughs
Iva
04:45:14I’m sorry.
Luma
04:45:15- Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:45:15Thank you.
Temerity
04:45:16- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:45:16So it’s a big day.
Luma
04:45:17Yeah.04:45:17laughter
Iva
04:45:18Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:45:19Um,04:45:20laughs04:45:22Yeah, sorry, eight doesn’t get it done.
Temerity
04:45:24And, uh,
Rhysaene
04:45:24- What is your life reorientation week?
Hazel
04:45:28- Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:45:30Yeah.
Luma
04:45:30And it’s gonna take me another like,04:45:3230 years is I have to go adventuring if I lose my job.04:45:37which is just a little bit of a setback, but it sucks.
Dungeon Master
04:45:41No!
Temerity
04:45:41- Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:45:42I think I’ll find a way.
Dungeon Master
04:45:43Also, on the upside, Luma made way more money robbing forbidden vaults than she ever did working her civil servant job.
Luma
04:45:51That is a good point.
Hazel
04:45:52Look, look.
Temerity
04:45:52Eww.
Luma
04:45:53I wonder if adventuring is self-04:45:55Self-survey.
Hazel
04:45:56Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:45:56laughs
Luma
04:45:58It’s like a feedback loop of money.
Hazel
04:45:58- That’s a problem.04:46:01- Probably nowhere here in the Vale.04:46:07So,
Rhysaene
04:46:07Bye.
Luma
04:46:08If we open up the highway, we can leave the veil maybe.
Hazel
04:46:11Mm-hmm.04:46:12I do know of a, I do know of a, of a,04:46:15I’m really not far from where I grew up.
Luma
04:46:18Really?
Hazel
04:46:18I was never able to go there.04:46:20Yeah, I was never able to.04:46:23I don’t know.04:46:23I was.04:46:24I was forbidden from venturing that far out and, uh,04:46:29to be honest.04:46:30Um,
Luma
04:46:31Yeah, I see that.
Hazel
04:46:31Once you get far, once you get far enough out, it04:46:38You start.04:46:39You start hearing things that aren’t there.
Rhysaene
04:46:42Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:46:44Oh, I can make earplugs.
Dungeon Master
04:46:46I made a small mistake.
Hazel
04:46:46Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:46:50On the handout map.
Luma
04:46:53Uh-oh.
Dungeon Master
04:46:53that’s gonna be…04:46:55a little disruptive based on what’s just been said. There should be another rock right here.
Temerity
04:47:02Oh boy.
Luma
04:47:02Oh, we got to go there.
Hazel
04:47:02All right.
Dungeon Master
04:47:03- Yeah.
Hazel
04:47:04Okay. I’ve, I, I,04:47:05Okay, I did, I was going to be like,04:47:08I was going to mention like, oh damn, I guess that Citadel isn’t as like,
Dungeon Master
04:47:12No, there should be an identically styled rock.
Hazel
04:47:12important as I thought it.
Dungeon Master
04:47:17Right.04:47:18here.
Temerity
04:47:18Boy, I wonder…
Luma
04:47:19I think that Acity might know anything about the door underneath the city.
Hazel
04:47:19Okay.04:47:25uh,04:47:27She…04:47:30night04:47:32Um,
Luma
04:47:34That would be a really good excuse for us to go look at the Ruined Citadel.
Hazel
04:47:37Hee hee.04:47:38uh,04:47:39She nods.04:47:40uh,04:47:41And like, she’s like,04:47:43I want to be very clear when I say this,04:47:45that my entire life I’ve wanted to go there.04:47:47I have yearned for her to explore the world.
Luma
04:47:52Okay.
Hazel
04:47:53the ruined citadel.
Luma
04:47:54So here’s the plan. Wait for me to get fired.04:47:56And there we go.
Hazel
04:47:58-
Temerity
04:47:58Ew.
Hazel
04:48:00works for me.
Rhysaene
04:48:00Um,04:48:04he,04:48:05Mm.04:48:08Sarah Hauder van Selen…04:48:11a new piece I’ve been drawing on.
Luma
04:48:15Oh, don’t ever stop your art.
Temerity
04:48:18Yeah, no, he’s…
Hazel
04:48:19There should be no reason.
Rhysaene
04:48:20Okay.
Luma
04:48:22That reminds me, we were thinking about doing a business.04:48:24We should totally rope you in on it.
Rhysaene
04:48:26What kind of business?
Hazel
04:48:27laughs
Luma
04:48:30Well,
Hazel
04:48:31Nothing will be.
Luma
04:48:31Hazel makes things04:48:34with04:48:35with herbalism stuffs.04:48:37And I make things with other stuffs.04:48:39We can make you supplies for art stuffs.04:48:41And then you can sell your art stuffs.
Rhysaene
04:48:42Okay.
Luma
04:48:45And then we make money.
Rhysaene
04:48:46Okay, that’s a good fucking idea.
Hazel
04:48:49- You too.
Temerity
04:48:49laughs
Luma
04:48:50Yeah, I can make frames and canvases.04:48:54And Hazel can make paints and stuff.
Rhysaene
04:48:55I mean…04:48:58I would say that we could just make a shop
Luma
04:49:01Hey.04:49:02I can’t afford a shop.
Rhysaene
04:49:04Eeeeeeeeeeahhh.
Luma
04:49:07I wonder if there’s zoning laws. Maybe I could operate it outside of my apartment.
Hazel
04:49:12Maybe we could rent.
Rhysaene
04:49:13- Like a mini gallery.
Hazel
04:49:13I don’t know.04:49:17And then we see that the biggest renting, property renting, is the Sterling family.04:49:23And then, ah…
Rhysaene
04:49:23Tch, tch, tch.
Temerity
04:49:25Yeah.04:49:27Their private equity.
Hazel
04:49:29Yes, yes, yes.
Dungeon Master
04:49:30I mean,
Temerity
04:49:31you
Luma
04:49:32We might be able to…04:49:33We might be able to bring a proposition to04:49:36to my grandfather and see if we can secure funding from my family.
Rhysaene
04:49:41Bye.
Hazel
04:49:41Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:49:44Okay.
Luma
04:49:48Just an idea.
Hazel
04:49:48Right.
Rhysaene
04:49:49That could be fun.
Hazel
04:49:50Yeah.
Luma
04:49:51We abandoned the entire campaign premise and instead we run a shop list.
Hazel
04:49:53I don’t know.
Temerity
04:49:54laughter
Rhysaene
04:49:54Yeah, we make like the coolest shop ever.
Dungeon Master
04:49:57- Nice.
Luma
04:49:58I don’t know.
Dungeon Master
04:49:58It’s Everdream.
Temerity
04:49:58I would just say, don’t reel the fish in until the lines
Luma
04:50:00We got tired of not getting a money cat.04:50:01We’re doing our own thing now.
Temerity
04:50:03I’m here.
Hazel
04:50:03Kat did say Hazel is doing her Kiki’s delivery service right now.
Rhysaene
04:50:03-
Luma
04:50:04Thank you.04:50:04Yeah.
Rhysaene
04:50:07Mm-hmm.
Temerity
04:50:07Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hazel
04:50:07laughs
Dungeon Master
04:50:08- True.
Luma
04:50:09Yeah.
Temerity
04:50:09- Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:50:10- I’d say that.
Temerity
04:50:11Thank you.
Rhysaene
04:50:11The world is ending, but we have a really sick fucking shop.
Temerity
04:50:11I would,04:50:15I would just say don’t reel the fish until the line’s taut.
Luma
04:50:15If…
Hazel
04:50:15um,
Rhysaene
04:50:18Mm-hmm.
Luma
04:50:18Well,04:50:20I know how to fish. You don’t have to tell me that.
Hazel
04:50:22laughs
Temerity
04:50:22laughter
Rhysaene
04:50:22Thank you.
Luma
04:50:24was--04:50:26uh,04:50:27If we don’t make money from exploring the ruined citadel, then we could use it as our fallback plan.
Rhysaene
04:50:31I mean, I’m gonna…
Hazel
04:50:31Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:50:32going to04:50:34I got some money.04:50:36Um…04:50:40I will put04:50:42extra effort into this piece then.
Luma
04:50:48Well, if you need help collecting raw supplies and stuff like that, let me know.04:50:51I’m really good at getting discounts, like a 20% discount.
Rhysaene
04:50:54Wow, look at you.
Dungeon Master
04:50:55Thanks.
Temerity
04:50:57Mm-hmm.
Rhysaene
04:50:59Not even…04:50:59condescending. I’m actually looking
Luma
04:51:01Thank you.
Rhysaene
04:51:01impressed.
Luma
04:51:01I have a path. It’s called a feat.
Temerity
04:51:04Hee hee hee.
Dungeon Master
04:51:04I just…
Luma
04:51:04.
Rhysaene
04:51:07Rhys looks at your paws and goes,
Luma
04:51:07No, let me just say that.
Iva
04:51:07I have two of them.
Rhysaene
04:51:10Damn.
Luma
04:51:10Yeah.04:51:11Yeah.
Dungeon Master
04:51:12Uh,04:51:14Yeah.
Luma
04:51:16Hmm.
Hazel
04:51:19And there is something still on Hayley’s mind.04:51:22I don’t think.04:51:22hit, hit, hit.04:51:24I don’t know if it’s something that04:51:29would be relevant enough for her to talk about.04:51:34uh,04:51:38So,04:51:39uh,04:51:40Yeah.04:51:41Sorry, I don’t know why I said that out loud.
Iva
04:51:44I don’t know.
Rhysaene
04:51:46- Now I’m anxious.
Iva
04:51:48Yeah.
Hazel
04:51:48No, no, it’s nothing like that.04:51:50It’s more just like…04:51:52She’s thinking about how…04:51:55- Yeah.04:51:56He’s thinking about like04:51:59about04:52:01talking to Hecate about some stuff, but04:52:03She’s unsure.04:52:05basically about all this stuff that they just learned about the, the, the, the deep roads
Rhysaene
04:52:11Mm.
Hazel
04:52:11Um,04:52:16Hazel04:52:18uh has been was was verily was very clearly told for for obvious reasons that she should never ever04:52:25ever and no ever go out into the cell road04:52:28But
Temerity
04:52:29Hehe.
Hazel
04:52:32You know, she’s stronger, dude.04:52:33Um…
Luma
04:52:35Maybe the Rhys Citadel has something to open up the door.04:52:40Bum-bum-bum.
Hazel
04:52:41uh,04:52:42Mm-hmm.04:52:47She’s mostly really curious about that because, uh,04:52:56And curious about04:52:59and04:53:01Luma’s grandfather because he left in the elder exodus, but04:53:06managed to04:53:07get that letter sent like 60 years ago.
Temerity
04:53:11Yeah.
Hazel
04:53:12So that.04:53:13The timeline is like, did he come back to the veil?
Temerity
04:53:16Yeah, that’s fucking with Temerity a lot.
Hazel
04:53:17uh,04:53:19and04:53:20Also, she,04:53:22The thing that makes her…04:53:25like curious about that.04:53:26is because Hazel’s parents left04:53:30did a mini Elder Exodus after the Exodus, where they were like, “Actually, we don’t fuck with it here.”
Luma
04:53:31Mm-hmm.04:53:38Ha ha ha.
Hazel
04:53:38She has no idea why or anything like that.04:53:41But it’s just something that04:53:43would stick in the back of her mind.
Iva
04:53:46I never knew my father.
Hazel
04:53:49- Dude.
Dungeon Master
04:53:50Yeah.04:53:51So a lot of.
Hazel
04:53:51And
Dungeon Master
04:53:53Good questions.
Hazel
04:53:54Uh-huh.04:53:56uh,04:54:05and,04:54:06And I would be…04:54:11uh,04:54:14Mm-mm.04:54:16Mm-hmm.04:54:17Hazel is also kind of at the point where she’s like, I feel like at this point I should get some answers, fake mom.
Temerity
04:54:24Hehehehe.
Dungeon Master
04:54:24crying
Luma
04:54:24I think it’s a good thing.

Dungeon Master
04:56:44community.
Luma
04:56:47Yeah, sure.
Hazel
04:56:50to you.04:56:51There’s no particular reason.04:56:53I think that she just enjoyed the day that they had,04:56:55even if it was frightening.
Dungeon Master
04:56:58um,
Iva
04:56:59Iva also has to stay at Luma’s because she has the feeling that
Dungeon Master
04:57:02you
Iva
04:57:04if she can, uh,04:57:05The less places that she remains consistently, the less likely people will…04:57:10find where she actually is staying.
Dungeon Master
04:57:11So you want to add another place you remain consistently.
Iva
04:57:13Thank you.04:57:15- Yeah.04:57:17Now, if I keep moving around, they’ll never get me.
Luma

Temerity
04:57:20- Thank you.
Luma
04:57:24If you want the flower, you can have it.
Hazel
