Hazel

• 00:00:00 them.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:02 All right.

Hazel

• 00:00:02 Look.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:03 What’s up?

Hazel

• 00:00:05 oh, I was just, you know, can’t upload it to YouTube now.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:09 And true enough.

Iva

• 00:00:09 She said fluff in the first.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:11 Yep.
• 00:00:13 Um,
• 00:00:15 Let’s see.
• 00:00:20 Thank you.
• 00:00:26 Mass session
• 00:00:27 started with the attack on Rhys.
• 00:00:31 and Iva by the assassin Daisy.
• 00:00:37 Daisy proved to be a dangerous but not unstoppable foe, as Rhys and Iva working in tandem were able to force Daisy to flee, but not before Daisy was able to deliver some near-fatal blows to Rhys.
• 00:00:53 After some tense moments and some medical tending by Iva, Rhys recovered consciousness, and the two of them bunkered down for the night.
• 00:01:03 um,
• 00:01:04 the next day.
• 00:01:06 The party Sans Temerity met up and kind of Rhys and Iva relayed these events.
• 00:01:13 Um,
• 00:01:15 leading to a lot of speculation as to the
• 00:01:21 reason Daisy had attacked, who would perhaps hire Daisy,
• 00:01:25 Um,
• 00:01:28 and potential plans for dealing with the fact that the assassin had managed to escape.
• 00:01:33 During this time, Temerity continued her dragoon training, being asked to spar with her fellow candidates,
• 00:01:42 uh,
• 00:01:43 Temerity decided to challenge Emeric Vael.
• 00:01:46 Emeric proved to be quite a formidable opponent, but again, not out of Temerity’s reach.
• 00:01:53 as with a little bit of the grace of the silver flame,
• 00:01:58 were able to heal from near…
• 00:02:01 and you’re defeating wounds
• 00:02:04 Um,
• 00:02:07 And knock Emeric unconscious, earning the praise of Rhea Larnas.
• 00:02:13 um,
• 00:02:15 Temerity then joined the rest of the party at Luma’s apartment.
• 00:02:18 learned of the assassination attempt and the group
• 00:02:22 agreed to return to Rhys’s to stake the place out for the night.
• 00:02:26 While plans were made for that,
• 00:02:29 Iva went and met with none other than the ferryman himself, Silas Wintermist,
• 00:02:34 who outlined a series of problems affecting

Iva

• 00:02:38 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:02:39 both the party and the Tarnar Syndicate all revolving around, um,
• 00:02:46 investigations into the events of the Festival of Bells and the immediate aftermath, as well as some other unrelated investigations that could lead back to the party.
• 00:02:57 Silas had a particular solution to these problems in mind.
• 00:03:01 Iva faking her own death after essentially

Iva

• 00:03:01 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:03:06 Um,
• 00:03:07 confessing guilt by breaking Miles out of jail.
• 00:03:12 um,
• 00:03:13 I have a reluctantly agreed.
• 00:03:15 to the plan, rejoined Hazel,
• 00:03:18 who told Iva that there was no way Iva was not telling the rest of the party,
• 00:03:23 The pair returned to Rhys’s apartment.
• 00:03:27 Uh,
• 00:03:28 where many hijinks involving the closet ensued.
• 00:03:32 before finally everyone was able to sleep and get a full
• 00:03:36 Night’s rest.
• 00:03:38 Um,
• 00:03:40 while keeping watch.
• 00:03:42 uh,
• 00:03:43 Which brings us around to where we begin.
• 00:03:46 It is early on the morning of the third of Nightdeep.

Temerity

• 00:03:54 Well,
• 00:03:55 Uh,
• 00:03:56 Starting around 5:00 a.m.
• 00:04:00 Temerity will…
• 00:04:02 head out to make sure that she makes it on time for training.

Dungeon Master

• 00:04:10 You head out at around 5, 5.30, you said?

Temerity

• 00:04:13 Yeah.
• 00:04:15 Enough time to get there and have time left over.

Dungeon Master

• 00:04:16 Yeah.
• 00:04:18 Rhys’s apartment is actually not terribly far.
• 00:04:22 Um,
• 00:04:24 I don’t actually have the owlbear open.
• 00:04:28 Let me do that.
• 00:04:33 Rhys apartment is not terribly far from the Dragoon Barracks, so you get there in like 10-ish minutes, maybe less even.

Temerity

• 00:04:40 Oh, okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:04:43 But you take time to get ready and all of that still.

Temerity

• 00:04:46 Yeah.
• 00:04:47 to maybe making sure that--
• 00:04:49 Everyone.
• 00:04:51 Well, obviously not to Merdy
• 00:04:53 stayed up overnight.

Dungeon Master

• 00:04:54 - Yeah.
• 00:04:55 Yeah.

Temerity

• 00:04:56 I was going to say, to me, you didn’t see anything bad happen.
• 00:04:58 It was like, all right, Luma, you got this.

Dungeon Master

• 00:05:01 Fair enough.
• 00:05:02 Is anyone else getting up around the same time as Temerity, or does Temerity make it out on…
• 00:05:09 unhindered.

Hazel

• 00:05:10 Oh yeah, Hazel’s like

Iva

• 00:05:11 Uh,

Hazel

• 00:05:13 Hazel’s for sure just like
• 00:05:15 just like staring at her

Temerity

• 00:05:19 he already gives some meek wave just getting stared at as he head out the door

Hazel

• 00:05:29 Bye.

Temerity

• 00:05:30 Bye.
• 00:05:32 - He he he he he he he.

Hazel

• 00:05:34 Bye.

Dungeon Master

• 00:05:36 It’s…

Hazel

• 00:05:36 Thank you.

Iva

• 00:05:42 I would stay snuggled against Rhys until Rhys gets up and moves Iva.

Rhysaene

• 00:05:48 That’s really cute.

Hazel

• 00:05:48 Ugh.

Rhysaene

• 00:05:49 She would let up.

Iva

• 00:05:50 -

Temerity

• 00:05:51 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 00:05:51 the kind of
• 00:05:52 I didn’t mean that.

Iva

• 00:05:58 I was a clinger.

Dungeon Master

• 00:06:01 uh,
• 00:06:06 Aev, I believe before session you were talking about, um,
• 00:06:09 wanting to do something potentially.

Rhysaene

• 00:06:11 Yes.
• 00:06:12 I was thinking
• 00:06:14 about
• 00:06:15 Um,
• 00:06:18 I don’t know how I would do this mechanically or anything.
• 00:06:21 Um,
• 00:06:23 Could I try to…
• 00:06:27 like,
• 00:06:30 put out like a little feeler.
• 00:06:32 towards like
• 00:06:35 towards like if any memories or dreams come to me
• 00:06:40 about like anywhere that Lathiel would like,
• 00:06:44 a ledger?

Dungeon Master

• 00:06:47 You…
• 00:06:49 can do something like that.
• 00:06:51 Yes.
• 00:06:52 the results will not be immediate.

Rhysaene

• 00:06:56 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:06:57 But yes, you can kind of…
• 00:07:02 do something along those lines for sure.

Rhysaene

• 00:07:06 Yay. Okay. Yeah, she’s…
• 00:07:08 thinking and dreaming and has sleep of like

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:11 Uh-huh.
• 00:07:12 um,
• 00:07:14 I’ll have to get back to you on that.

Hazel

• 00:07:17 If it’s done through magical means, Hazel might be able to help.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:17 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 00:07:21 in some some some some weird ways.
• 00:07:26 I’ll look.
• 00:07:27 over my spell list or something and see if maybe I can argue something.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:33 Uh-huh.

Rhysaene

• 00:07:35 - Thank you.

Hazel

• 00:07:36 do let’s do
• 00:07:38 Let’s reach for Max.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:44 um,
• 00:07:45 What’s everyone else doing this morning?

Hazel

• 00:07:49 um,
• 00:07:51 Hazel’s just keeping a watch.
• 00:07:56 not really moving. She’s not really got anything planned.

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:00 Uh huh.

Hazel

• 00:08:01 probably waiting for everyone to get up and stuff and then
• 00:08:05 Uh,
• 00:08:06 is just going to hover someone
• 00:08:13 or bit someone, I don’t know.

Rhysaene

• 00:08:15 Mmm, rat.
• 00:08:21 Yeah, I think I’ll also finish the art piece as well.

Hazel

• 00:08:26 Amen.

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:29 easy enough to spend time working on that.

Iva

• 00:08:36 uh,
• 00:08:37 Once everyone started getting up, I would…
• 00:08:41 wander off to like a place where she can find a mirror and start practicing her Iva impression.

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:48 - Yeah.

Iva

• 00:08:49 -

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:51 back to where it all began.

Iva

• 00:08:53 It all was…

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:58 Um,
• 00:08:59 Yeah.
• 00:09:00 you’re able to do that no problem.
• 00:09:04 What about Luma?

Luma

• 00:09:09 Um…
• 00:09:10 How strict are we about scroll leading to beyond the spell list?

Dungeon Master

• 00:09:17 I would say not strict. The rules for having to make an Arcana check still apply.
• 00:09:24 But I would say that like,
• 00:09:27 That’s kind of a boring restriction on scrolls.
• 00:09:29 I think you can cast a,
• 00:09:31 I think you could cast a scroll if you make the Arcana check, if it’s not on your spell list.

Luma

• 00:09:36 Okay.
• 00:09:37 Luma is going to spend the
• 00:09:40 morning
• 00:09:42 uh,
• 00:09:43 I guess.
• 00:09:45 or overnight or whatever.
• 00:09:47 to craft a scroll.

Dungeon Master

• 00:09:47 Uh-huh.
• 00:09:49 Okay.

Luma

• 00:09:50 She’s going to make a locate object scroll.
• 00:09:55 to give to
• 00:09:57 risks.
• 00:09:59 And maybe we can do a ritual magic, circle magic thingy to make it an incredibly big radius of the city.

Rhysaene

• 00:10:06 - How cool.

Luma

• 00:10:07 for the ledger.

Rhysaene

• 00:10:09 Oh, they’ll be nice.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:11 I believe the radius one doesn’t extend it that much.
• 00:10:17 Um, but.

Luma

• 00:10:17 It is 1,000 feet per secondary caster, up to a mile away.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:21 or range because it’s not an area of effect. It is just a, okay, yes, that’s true.
• 00:10:27 um,
• 00:10:28 You can locate object is on your list.

Luma

• 00:10:31 Yeah.
• 00:10:32 It’s a, it’s,

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:32 You can…
• 00:10:34 Sorry.

Luma

• 00:10:34 That’s…
• 00:10:34 It’s a cartographer, artificer spell that I have now.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:38 then yeah, you’re able to overnight craft
• 00:10:41 Basically,
• 00:10:42 Uh,
• 00:10:43 craft this scroll of locate object without any issue.
• 00:10:47 Um,

Luma

• 00:10:48 I need to figure out the cost before I say that I can do it though. Cause

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:52 That is fair.

Rhysaene

• 00:10:54 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 00:10:54 barking

Rhysaene

• 00:10:55 If you need money, then…
• 00:10:57 I can give you some.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:59 Then my question to you is also, you don’t sleep, so you would be able to do the scroll scribing during the night before anyone even gets up, probably.
• 00:11:09 um,
• 00:11:10 is Luma going to go into work?

Luma

• 00:11:13 Yeah…
• 00:11:16 Yeah.
• 00:11:17 She’ll wait for us to get up.
• 00:11:21 before leaving.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:22 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:11:24 I’m having a hard time figuring out what the fucking cost of this thing is.

Rhysaene

• 00:11:28 - Yeah.

Luma

• 00:11:31 Are we using

Iva

• 00:11:31 One…

Luma

• 00:11:32 XGE.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:33 No.

Luma

• 00:11:34 craft the magic item? Is there…

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:36 2024 has scroll scribing rules in the player’s handbook.

Luma

• 00:11:36 Oh.
• 00:11:38 driving.
• 00:11:41 Scribing us.
• 00:11:43 I’ll scroll as a downtime activity. That’s not it either.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:46 which is, hold on,
• 00:11:48 It is crafting.
• 00:11:50 equipment, I believe.

Luma

• 00:11:52 Here we go. I found it. Okay. Well, I found the…

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:52 Scraping scrolls.

Luma

• 00:11:54 I found the table.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:55 It is, what level is it?

Iva

• 00:11:55 It won’t.

Luma

• 00:11:57 Two.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:58 So technically it takes three days.
• 00:12:01 And 100 gold.
• 00:12:03 But do you have artificer things that mess with that at all?

Luma

• 00:12:05 I don’t know.
• 00:12:06 Yeah, I’m looking one second.
• 00:12:11 Uh…
• 00:12:13 the amount of time required it is…

Dungeon Master

• 00:12:16 So,
• 00:12:17 It takes 12 continuous hours of work.
• 00:12:21 that you can

Luma

• 00:12:22 OK.

Dungeon Master

• 00:12:23 that you can break up however you like,
• 00:12:24 but 12 straight hours of actually working on it to do it.
• 00:12:29 three work days is three eight-hour days halved.

Luma

• 00:12:36 Okay, I don’t have 100 gold.
• 00:12:38 Never mind.

Rhysaene

• 00:12:41 I did.

Luma

• 00:12:44 That would require Luma to ask Rhys for money,
• 00:12:47 and she’s not gonna do that.

Rhysaene

• 00:12:49 It depends on the purpose.

Temerity

• 00:12:50 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 00:12:54 Well, she can’t have retroactively got it if Rhys already went to bed, so that’s…
• 00:12:59 mood anyway.

Rhysaene

• 00:13:00 - Yeah.
• 00:13:00 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:04 I’m…

Rhysaene

• 00:13:04 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:05 I would say…

Rhysaene

• 00:13:06 Sorry.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:07 I would say that you can start the work without the gold.
• 00:13:11 You need the gold to finish it. I’ll allow for that.
• 00:13:15 So you can still spend the downtime to get started on that, if you would like.

Luma

• 00:13:16 Okay.
• 00:13:21 Yeah, sure.
• 00:13:24 Luma will wait for us to wake up with a little project.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:24 um,

Luma

• 00:13:29 spruen about or like living room table.

Temerity

• 00:13:32 Hehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 00:13:34 Yeah.
• 00:13:34 Thank you.
• 00:13:35 Russell
• 00:13:37 Uh,
• 00:13:37 She’s still a little sore from her wounds, so she’ll like…
• 00:13:42 Come, surely trot over slowly.
• 00:13:45 uh,
• 00:13:47 Please, I had a verdict.
• 00:13:48 Luma’s shoulder.
• 00:13:50 What you’re working on?

Luma

• 00:13:53 I have an idea.
• 00:13:55 Maybe.

Rhysaene

• 00:13:56 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:13:57 um…
• 00:13:58 Well,
• 00:13:59 You know how I can locate people with my maps, right?

Rhysaene

• 00:14:02 Oh, yeah.

Luma

• 00:14:03 I think I can locate objects with my map too.
• 00:14:07 Um,
• 00:14:08 But.
• 00:14:09 I don’t know what your ledger looks like.
• 00:14:11 So I’m trying to figure out a way to make it

Rhysaene

• 00:14:11 I don’t.

Luma

• 00:14:13 so that you can find the objects with my maps.

Rhysaene

• 00:14:15 Yeah, I don’t know.

Luma

• 00:14:15 And

Rhysaene

• 00:14:18 I don’t know what it looks like.
• 00:14:20 Oh wait, do I?

Luma

• 00:14:20 Oh.

Rhysaene

• 00:14:21 Uh…

Dungeon Master

• 00:14:22 No.

Rhysaene

• 00:14:22 - Yeah, okay, I do not.

Dungeon Master

• 00:14:23 You do not.
• 00:14:24 You do not currently, but that thing you were working on might change that, uh,

Rhysaene

• 00:14:29 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:14:30 It’s just going to take me time to figure out how exactly that’ll work.

Rhysaene

• 00:14:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s completely fine.
• 00:14:36 Uh…
• 00:14:39 Yeah, start working on it, Luma.

Luma

• 00:14:42 Okay.
• 00:14:42 Um,

Rhysaene

• 00:14:43 Do you need money?

Luma

• 00:14:45 Yeah.
• 00:14:46 I gotta do a little bit of research because I’m not exactly sure how this is going to go and I need a lot of paper.
• 00:14:52 And,
• 00:14:52 some really good ink.

Rhysaene

• 00:14:54 Mm-hmm.
• 00:14:56 Yeah, I could square it.
• 00:15:00 Ah.
• 00:15:03 She like…

Luma

• 00:15:04 I heard that.
• 00:15:05 Obviously he’s with you.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:06 - Yeah.
• 00:15:08 No, it’s okay. How much do you need?

Luma

• 00:15:12 Um,
• 00:15:13 100 gold.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:16 Wait a sec. Sure.

Luma

• 00:15:19 I know it’s a little expensive, but I might be able to find your ledger.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:19 uh,
• 00:15:22 No, no, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. This is…
• 00:15:28 If this is what I think it is, it’ll be worth it.
• 00:15:31 A lot more than a hundred.
• 00:15:33 So,

Luma

• 00:15:34 Think of it like an investment.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:36 Yeah.
• 00:15:37 She’ll…

Dungeon Master

• 00:15:38 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:39 rifle through her, like,

Iva

• 00:15:40 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:42 She’ll run for food like her.
• 00:15:44 Uh,
• 00:15:45 a desk and she’ll pull out
• 00:15:48 template and pieces and she’ll give them to you.

Luma

• 00:15:51 Uh,
• 00:15:52 This is like the second most amount of money I’ve ever had.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:55 Yeah.
• 00:15:57 Yeah, well, I’m quite good at saving.

Luma

• 00:16:03 Yeah.
• 00:16:03 I’m not.
• 00:16:05 I like spending it.
• 00:16:06 on things like this.
• 00:16:07 And she pockets the money.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:07 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 00:16:09 uh,

Rhysaene

• 00:16:09 -

Temerity

• 00:16:10 Hehehehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:12 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:16:12 Okay.
• 00:16:14 I gotta go to work though, speaking of money.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:15 - Thank you.

Luma

• 00:16:16 um,

Rhysaene

• 00:16:17 Okay.

Luma

• 00:16:17 and also potential investigations. Oh, I don’t want to think about that.
• 00:16:20 Are you going to be okay back here or should I call out sick?

Rhysaene

• 00:16:21 Mm.
• 00:16:23 I think I’ll be just fine.
• 00:16:25 Oh.

Luma

• 00:16:25 Okay.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:26 I will.

Luma

• 00:16:28 If I see you running on the map, I’ll come running too.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:30 Mm-hmm.
• 00:16:31 I’ll do my little…
• 00:16:32 quickly flying on the map.

Luma

• 00:16:34 Yeah. Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:16:36 I think it’s…

Luma

• 00:16:36 We’ll start packing up.

Dungeon Master

• 00:16:38 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:38 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:16:39 That you have somehow managed to get everyone on board with spin for teleport lethal company tech in Dungeons & Dragons.

Luma

• 00:16:44 Yeah.

Iva

• 00:16:45 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:16:46 It works so well!

Iva

• 00:16:47 that’s hard

Rhysaene

• 00:16:47 -

Luma

• 00:16:48 Spin in place for help.

Iva

• 00:16:51 Hop back and forth, hop back and forth.

Luma

• 00:16:51 Yeah.
• 00:16:52 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:54 It looks very weird when Rhys does it because she’s a horse, but like…

Luma

• 00:16:55 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 00:16:59 - Yeah.

Luma

• 00:16:59 Yeah, do like the box step. It’s fine. I can interpret it.

Rhysaene

• 00:17:01 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:17:02 Mm-hmm.

Iva

• 00:17:02 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:03 Mm-hmm.
• 00:17:04 Um,
• 00:17:05 Yeah.
• 00:17:06 You get that squared away.
• 00:17:09 Get the gold for your rare inks etc.

Luma

• 00:17:13 - Okay.
• 00:17:13 She’ll pick that up on the way if that’s okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:15 Yeah.
• 00:17:16 Yeah.
• 00:17:16 Um,
• 00:17:18 It doesn’t require…
• 00:17:20 So the inks for scrollmaking are not, like, weirdly forbidden magic inks.
• 00:17:26 They just have to be…
• 00:17:27 incredibly high quality
• 00:17:30 The magic for scrollmaking in this setting comes from you.

Luma

• 00:17:35 Oh, interesting. Okay, so you would say that the items that I’m purchasing are non-magical items.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:35 Yeah.
• 00:17:40 Eylesis, I’m saying this so that you don’t have to jump through hoops going to the black market and paying extra for scroll supplies.

Luma

• 00:17:41 you know.
• 00:17:43 Yeah.
• 00:17:47 on my 20% discount.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:48 I understand that in doing a nice thing, I have trapped myself.

Hazel

• 00:17:49 Dude.

Luma

• 00:17:50 Yeah.
• 00:17:53 the shoot.
• 00:17:54 No, I know. I’m joking. I think it’s fine.
• 00:17:56 I wasn’t going to use it because it’s
• 00:17:57 Yeah, it’s fine.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:58 Well, because normally it wouldn’t apply, but I’m trying to think,
• 00:18:00 why would there be, like, scroll-making inks just readily available,
• 00:18:04 and the only answer to that is…

Hazel

• 00:18:04 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 00:18:04 Yeah, not at all.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:06 it doesn’t take special ink.

Luma

• 00:18:06 I’m…
• 00:18:08 Even though it is the origin feat crafter feat, I’m considering non-magical items to be completed objects.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:15 Yeah, oh, oh yeah, yeah.

Luma

• 00:18:15 For the Vizcarra.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:18 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:18:19 I’m not going to try and 20% discount my crafting materials.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:22 Yeah, I think we had a conversation about that, but…

Luma

• 00:18:26 probably.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:28 You’re able to do that head to work, presumably, pick up your inks on the way there or back or something.

Luma

• 00:18:33 Yeah, she’ll pick it up on the way there, because I feel like…

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:35 Okay.
• 00:18:35 Yeah, easy enough in…

Luma

• 00:18:36 She’s not…

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:37 Sorry.

Luma

• 00:18:38 Not good.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:39 In the Lantern Wards, you know of like a nice little shop that sells like
• 00:18:43 writing supplies and stationery and books, journals and things like that, that would have anything you could need for that.

Luma

• 00:18:52 Yeah, I feel like there’s one nearby the

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:52 Um,
• 00:18:54 Oh, yeah.

Luma

• 00:18:55 her work considering they like
• 00:18:57 eat up probably 80% of the ink exports of this fucking city.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:01 Yes.

Luma

• 00:19:01 Breaking maps and shit.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:03 Oh, yeah.
• 00:19:03 You are in the ink-consuming little district over there.

Luma

• 00:19:09 Yee.
• 00:19:09 Hell yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:10 You’re able to do that, you start heading to work and stop by the shop on the way Temerity.

Temerity

• 00:19:17 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:18 Do you happen to recall the words you learned in Draconic?

Temerity

• 00:19:24 Oh.
• 00:19:26 Um…
• 00:19:32 I think I’ve wrote them down.
• 00:19:35 Fuck, I didn’t write them down. I know I…
• 00:19:38 Learned.
• 00:19:39 Forward.
• 00:19:40 left, right,
• 00:19:43 Uh,
• 00:19:45 And I want to say like to gather or hold.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:48 All right, all right, I’ll look it up.
• 00:19:51 I’ll look it up.

Temerity

• 00:19:52 It was forwards. It was definitely forward, left and right.
• 00:19:56 The fourth one I’m a bit hazy on.

Dungeon Master

• 00:20:00 it was,
• 00:20:01 uh,
• 00:20:09 You know what’s crazy is I don’t think I wrote it down.
• 00:20:11 No, no, I did, I did.
• 00:20:12 It’s forward, retreat, and quiet.

Temerity

• 00:20:16 Oh, forward retreat and quiet. Okay. So I didn’t learn left and right. I thought I did.

Dungeon Master

• 00:20:18 Yes.
• 00:20:20 No, but good news.
• 00:20:22 Uh, you’re learning that today.
• 00:20:25 Um,

Temerity

• 00:20:25 you

Dungeon Master

• 00:20:25 You arrived at the Dragoon Barracks. There’s no sparring today.
• 00:20:30 the rate of the…
• 00:20:34 of the, like, actual, like…
• 00:20:36 training
• 00:20:38 increases considerably
• 00:20:41 You learn left, right.
• 00:20:43 and some other common
• 00:20:46 things you give directions as part of like an operation.
• 00:20:50 um, intraconic, um,

Temerity

• 00:20:50 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:20:52 you do like
• 00:20:54 practice drills involving like
• 00:20:57 moving through, uh,
• 00:20:59 potentially hostile areas using, like, the courtyard as a…
• 00:21:04 an obstacle course kind of set up.
• 00:21:07 Um,
• 00:21:08 You learn really quickly
• 00:21:10 that
• 00:21:11 not all of the members of your cohort of 10 wet scales are on the…
• 00:21:20 the same level of…
• 00:21:22 preparedness for this kind of stuff.
• 00:21:26 um,
• 00:21:30 Hold on, I’m pulling more notes.
• 00:21:37 uh,
• 00:21:46 Am I crazy? What am I doing wrong here? There we go.
• 00:21:53 Um,
• 00:22:02 It’s about like half the group.
• 00:22:06 is just like they’re starting to lag behind in terms of like they’re not learning the language effectively.
• 00:22:13 Their movements are sloppy.
• 00:22:16 Notably, Emric and Kyren both are able to keep up.
• 00:22:21 Not necessarily surprising for Emric,
• 00:22:24 Um,
• 00:22:25 Despite his attitude, he does seem to be other than you the most physically…
• 00:22:31 Um,
• 00:22:33 capable of the group.
• 00:22:35 Kyren seems to be doing it through sheer determination.
• 00:22:38 He is not built for this, but he’s keeping up somehow anyway.

Temerity

• 00:22:44 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:22:46 But, but, uh,
• 00:22:48 Among the others, there are a couple who seem to be keeping up, but a lot who are not.
• 00:22:53 And it’s starting to become clear to you
• 00:22:56 not everyone is going to make it.

Temerity

• 00:22:59 Nah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:01 But that was…
• 00:23:03 That was told to you all at the beginning.

Temerity

• 00:23:06 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:07 um,

Temerity

• 00:23:07 but it’s kind of clear who might not make it.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:10 Yeah.
• 00:23:11 It is becoming clearer…
• 00:23:14 uh,
• 00:23:17 that uh that most uh that most of the the people won’t make it um

Iva

• 00:23:21 Thank you.
• 00:23:22 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:25 there are, I think, about five people plus yourself.
• 00:23:30 who are managing to keep up so far.

Temerity

• 00:23:33 I was going to say the language portion.
• 00:23:35 That’s the part that Temerity has to try the absolute hardest on,

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:37 Uh-huh.

Temerity

• 00:23:38 trying to learn something.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:40 And.
• 00:23:41 Up until now, it’s been…

Temerity

• 00:23:41 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:45 It’s been like, you’re not really learning a language,
• 00:23:48 you’re memorizing words.

Temerity

• 00:23:51 Uh…

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:51 Um,
• 00:23:51 But it’s starting to push beyond that, and at that point, it’s going to become progressively harder, and you’re going to have to start making rolls.

Temerity

• 00:23:59 Oh, boy.

Iva

• 00:24:02 Temerity flunks out of Dragoon School because of the language portion.

Temerity

• 00:24:05 Yeah.
• 00:24:06 Maybe actually, yeah, if it’s an integral, I got a minus one.

Iva

• 00:24:07 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:08 Maybe.

Iva

• 00:24:08 Yeah.

Temerity

• 00:24:12 It’s whiz plus zero.

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:17 Um,
• 00:24:19 But that’s most of your day.
• 00:24:21 There are several chances for breaks.
• 00:24:23 Um,
• 00:24:24 during that. So otherwise it is just like,
• 00:24:28 bootcamp stuff. So is there anything you want to like specifically engage with or, or do?
• 00:24:35 uh,

Temerity

• 00:24:36 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:36 during your day.

Temerity

• 00:24:39 Does Kyren seem like he is getting the grasp of the language pretty easily?
• 00:24:46 Is that like…
• 00:24:47 something that he excels at or is there somebody else in the class besides emmerich who does excel
• 00:24:52 at it because Temerity might want to get a study buddy

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:56 Kyren does seem like the person…
• 00:25:00 - Hello.
• 00:25:02 is learning at the fastest. I also need you to give me an insight check.

Temerity

• 00:25:08 All righty.
• 00:25:12 This bitch already knows Draconic.

Iva

• 00:25:16 -

Temerity

• 00:25:16 Yeah.
• 00:25:17 That’ll be a…
• 00:25:18 Solid 10 insight.

Dungeon Master

• 00:25:22 Yeah.
• 00:25:23 Um,
• 00:25:25 Kyren for sure is picking it up the easiest.
• 00:25:27 Everyone else is…
• 00:25:30 maybe doing slightly better than you
• 00:25:32 Um,
• 00:25:35 The people who are starting to lag behind, maybe not so much. Emeric seems to be doing about as well as another recruit, Gianna. Emeric and Gianna are like, other than you, are probably like the two top of the class.

Temerity

• 00:25:50 - Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:25:50 Um,

Temerity

• 00:25:51 I haven’t met Gianna too much, I don’t think.
• 00:25:53 I think just during the main intro.

Dungeon Master

• 00:25:54 No, you haven’t.
• 00:25:55 Yeah, you haven’t had any interactions with her.
• 00:25:58 She’s…
• 00:26:00 She…
• 00:26:02 Your best assessment of her is capable but unmotivated.
• 00:26:07 She…
• 00:26:08 She’s kind of not dissimilar to…
• 00:26:12 It’s a weird kind of opposite, but similar to Emeric.
• 00:26:16 who is incredibly capable, but utterly disdainful of everything going on.
• 00:26:22 Gianna really seems like she’s not sure she wants to be here.
• 00:26:27 But

Temerity

• 00:26:27 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:26:28 But despite that, seems fairly capable.
• 00:26:32 Um,
• 00:26:33 Kyren is like…
• 00:26:36 is doing his best.
• 00:26:38 He’s not built for this.
• 00:26:40 Dude is built like an academic.

Temerity

• 00:26:44 Um,

Iva

• 00:26:45 - Sure.

Temerity

• 00:26:47 laughs
• 00:26:50 Yeah.
• 00:26:52 Hey, Kyren.

Dungeon Master

• 00:26:53 Huh? Oh, um,
• 00:26:56 Temerity, right?

Temerity

• 00:26:58 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:26:59 um,

Temerity

• 00:26:59 Uh,
• 00:27:01 I was hoping that you could help me out with,
• 00:27:04 some of the draconic work.
• 00:27:06 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 00:27:07 Oh.
• 00:27:08 - Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
• 00:27:12 It’s only a couple words so far, but I’d be happy to help.

Temerity

• 00:27:17 Sorry, I just saw the hazel frisk.
• 00:27:23 Yeah.
• 00:27:23 That’s really good.
• 00:27:26 Yeah, I would.
• 00:27:28 I would love to help.
• 00:27:29 I’m…
• 00:27:31 I’m very slow to catch on when it comes to

Dungeon Master

• 00:27:35 Oh.

Temerity

• 00:27:35 to learning like this.
• 00:27:37 Um,

Iva

• 00:27:37 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:27:37 Um,

Temerity

• 00:27:43 Sorry, go ahead.

Dungeon Master

• 00:27:43 Yeah.
• 00:27:44 No, I’d be happy to help you.
• 00:27:46 Um…
• 00:27:47 I uh…
• 00:27:51 Although I’m not the…
• 00:27:52 And he gets cut off as Emeric kind of joins your little group.
• 00:27:56 Emeric has like…
• 00:27:58 deliberately not had any interaction with you this morning at all has been
• 00:28:03 doing his own thing, but he comes over as you’re talking to Kyren.

Temerity

• 00:28:08 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:28:08 um,
• 00:28:10 He kind of looks at you both.
• 00:28:14 He says, um,
• 00:28:17 What’s going on?
• 00:28:19 you having trouble learning the
• 00:28:24 the operational commands

Temerity

• 00:28:27 -
• 00:28:29 Uh,
• 00:28:30 Yeah, I’ve
• 00:28:31 Yeah.
• 00:28:34 Does he look like salty from the last time we saw each other?

Dungeon Master

• 00:28:39 Give me another insight check.

Temerity

• 00:28:41 OK.
• 00:28:44 eating.
• 00:28:45 A solid nine.

Dungeon Master

• 00:28:48 Somehow he rolled really badly. Um,
• 00:28:51 He looks a little salty.
• 00:28:53 But you pick up on something else, you kind of just notice it in his approach,
• 00:28:59 is you had kind of had him in the corner of your eye while you were talking.
• 00:29:02 He was watching you guys talk the whole time,
• 00:29:06 And it seemed like he specifically moved in…
• 00:29:10 like,
• 00:29:11 Like he made an instantaneous decision to go from passively observing to interjecting himself in the conversation in the moment that he came over.

Temerity

• 00:29:20 Uh,

Dungeon Master

• 00:29:22 Um,

Temerity

• 00:29:22 Uh,
• 00:29:25 um,
• 00:29:26 Ahem.
• 00:29:27 Okay, in that case, yeah, Temerity
• 00:29:29 Temerity will nod.
• 00:29:31 Uh…
• 00:29:32 and just say,
• 00:29:33 and learning’s never been
• 00:29:36 my strongest suit, I was hoping
• 00:29:38 I could trade a
• 00:29:42 trade practicing that with
• 00:29:44 Help.
• 00:29:44 helping Kyren practice building his muscles.

Dungeon Master

• 00:29:49 Emeric laughs.
• 00:29:51 a little dismissively, but not like
• 00:29:56 Not over the top, it’s just…
• 00:30:00 Yeah.
• 00:30:01 Uh,
• 00:30:03 Kyren has no business being here.
• 00:30:05 And I’ve told him that.
• 00:30:08 um,
• 00:30:09 But, uh…

Temerity

• 00:30:09 you

Dungeon Master

• 00:30:13 It’s not like that.
• 00:30:15 Don’t don’t.
• 00:30:18 Look, I’m sorry.
• 00:30:20 I…
• 00:30:21 underestimated you.

Temerity

• 00:30:24 Yeah!
• 00:30:25 Temerity does get like a little grin,
• 00:30:28 but doesn’t rub it in.
• 00:30:30 It’s just like…
• 00:30:32 Don’t worry, you’re not the first.

Dungeon Master

• 00:30:33 Okay.
• 00:30:35 He kind of glares.
• 00:30:38 He says, “I underestimated your capabilities.
• 00:30:41 I think you’re overestimating your understanding of what you’re getting into.

Temerity

• 00:30:47 Mm-hmm.
• 00:30:48 Probably.
• 00:30:49 Temerity says after like giving it like a second of thought

Dungeon Master

• 00:30:59 He kind of looks at you.

Temerity

• 00:30:59 There’s a little…

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:00 Sorry.
• 00:31:01 Go ahead.

Temerity

• 00:31:01 No, go ahead.

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:02 Nope, go ahead.

Temerity

• 00:31:03 There’s a lot that I don’t understand, but.
• 00:31:06 You know, I’m not going to let that stop me from doing what I think is right.

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:11 you catch a little bit of an eye roll.
• 00:31:14 But he doesn’t comment on it. He looks at Kyren.
• 00:31:19 He says, well…
• 00:31:22 You’re going to insist on trying to make it
• 00:31:25 you at least need to
• 00:31:28 Focus on your physical training,
• 00:31:31 way more than you have so far.
• 00:31:33 all the help you can get.
• 00:31:35 um,
• 00:31:36 With that nine, you kind of pick up
• 00:31:39 When he said Kyren has no business being here, it’s not the same way he was saying it to you the other day.
• 00:31:46 When he was saying it to you, it’s because he thought you were an idiot.

Temerity

• 00:31:50 Hehehehe. Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:52 But with that nine, which beats his terrible deception roll,
• 00:31:58 You pick up his…
• 00:32:00 Uh…
• 00:32:04 His comment to Kyren is concern.
• 00:32:07 not like Derision.

Temerity

• 00:32:09 He didn’t want Kyren to die.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:11 Don’t want Kyren to die.

Temerity

• 00:32:12 It’s really good.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:14 um,

Temerity

• 00:32:14 - I’m ready to get set a hundred percent.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:19 But
• 00:32:20 Kyren nods and says, “Um,
• 00:32:23 Yeah, for sure. I’ll help you with the Draconic stuff.
• 00:32:28 I don’t,
• 00:32:31 I don’t know the language myself, so we’ll still be learning it together.

Temerity

• 00:32:37 better than learning alone.
• 00:32:38 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:39 He smiles.
• 00:32:41 Um,
• 00:32:42 and nods and says, yeah.
• 00:32:44 Yeah, it is.

Temerity

• 00:32:47 All right.
• 00:32:47 And then I’ll.
• 00:32:49 I’ll show you how I work out.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:51 Bye.
• 00:32:53 Karen dies.

Temerity

• 00:32:53 Yeah.
• 00:32:54 Yeah.
• 00:32:57 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:59 Um,
• 00:33:02 I believe that the day continues more training.
• 00:33:06 There’s nothing,
• 00:33:07 Nothing, no big standout events.
• 00:33:09 You’ll be done early…
• 00:33:12 um,
• 00:33:12 early, pretty early in the day, probably.

Temerity

• 00:33:15 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:33:16 But before that, I have been poked by a Mariah. I believe Hazel wanted to do something.

Hazel

• 00:33:23 Yeah.
• 00:33:24 First off, Iva, you’re still here.

Iva

• 00:33:27 Iva is still here, yes.

Hazel

• 00:33:30 how much,
• 00:33:31 How much coin do you have?

Iva

• 00:33:35 I…
• 00:33:37 Thank you.
• 00:33:38 But I just…
• 00:33:39 Let me respond.
• 00:33:42 Am I confused? Are Platinum Dragons only 10 gold?

Dungeon Master

• 00:33:45 Yes, so Platinum Dragon is 10 gold.

Iva

• 00:33:48 Oh, I’m so much more poor than I thought I was.

Temerity

• 00:33:48 Yeah, 10 crowns.

Iva

• 00:33:55 For some reason I thought platinum was 100.

Hazel

• 00:33:58 Oh God, I wish that would make all my problems immediately go away.

Temerity

• 00:33:58 -
• 00:34:01 That would make me so much saltier about the curse he put on me.

Iva

• 00:34:07 Uh…

Temerity

• 00:34:07 Mm-hmm.

Iva

• 00:34:09 140.
• 00:34:10 140.

Hazel

• 00:34:17 Mm-hmm.
• 00:34:19 Never mind.

Iva

• 00:34:20 Yeah.

Hazel

• 00:34:21 Pats are on the back.
• 00:34:25 Uh,
• 00:34:30 um
• 00:34:32 And then she leaves.
• 00:34:33 uh,
• 00:34:36 And she’s going to make her way to Mama Kora’s place.

Dungeon Master

• 00:34:42 You make your way to the.
• 00:34:45 to the canal markets, to the little stall
• 00:34:47 where you had previously met Mama Kora.
• 00:34:52 Oh, my God.
• 00:34:58 Sorry, one second.
• 00:35:05 Uh,
• 00:35:06 She is sitting at the stall.
• 00:35:08 Not a lot of people around.
• 00:35:11 Mainly because the smell is really bad and so is the stew.

Hazel

• 00:35:16 Aw.
• 00:35:19 Um, yeah, she’ll.
• 00:35:20 She’ll step up to the stand, have a seat on one of the stools.
• 00:35:25 And, uh,
• 00:35:29 and just make herself known by saying…
• 00:35:32 I’ll take the fishbone stew.
• 00:35:34 please.

Dungeon Master

• 00:35:36 Good choice, dearie, good choice.
• 00:35:38 Mama Kora is always happy to make a nice big bowl of fishbone stew for anyone with a coin.

Hazel

• 00:35:46 Is it?

Dungeon Master

• 00:35:46 What do you want in it?

Hazel

• 00:35:49 She’s going to…
• 00:35:53 uh,
• 00:35:54 take out like a little piece of paper

Dungeon Master

• 00:35:57 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 00:35:58 and she’s going to just scribble down
• 00:36:00 Um,
• 00:36:02 She’s going to scribble down
• 00:36:07 uh,
• 00:36:12 She’s going to scribble down on the piece of paper.
• 00:36:16 a glass eye.
• 00:36:18 um,
• 00:36:19 worth
• 00:36:21 with a monetary value of about 100%.
• 00:36:25 gold pieces.

Dungeon Master

• 00:36:26 She looks at the…
• 00:36:28 Hmm, glass eye.
• 00:36:30 or, um, she doesn’t say that.
• 00:36:32 Mmm, fish eyes! Unusual
• 00:36:35 ingredient, but, uh,
• 00:36:37 I think I can do that. Your stew will be ready tonight at…
• 00:36:43 um
• 00:36:44 around sunset, let’s say, right as I’m closing up.

Hazel

• 00:36:50 She’ll nod and say, uh,
• 00:36:53 So how much is it going to run me?

Dungeon Master

• 00:36:56 Yeah.
• 00:36:57 I think 100 gold.

Hazel

• 00:37:03 Damn, I figured it wouldn’t be a finder’s feed.
• 00:37:06 Uh, all right, Sheldon on.

Dungeon Master

• 00:37:06 And
• 00:37:10 Uh,
• 00:37:13 True. 120 gold.

Iva

• 00:37:16 -

Hazel

• 00:37:19 Hazel, thanks for a moment.
• 00:37:20 and goes
• 00:37:26 After the trouble the last stew cost me, you don’t think you could bring it down to 110?

Dungeon Master

• 00:37:30 Thanks.

Iva

• 00:37:32 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:37:32 Give me a persuasion check with advantage.

Hazel

• 00:37:38 And.
• 00:37:39 and
• 00:37:40 - Good.
• 00:37:41 That was a lot better.
• 00:37:44 still minus one though, so 15 total.

Dungeon Master

• 00:37:47 No, 15. Um…
• 00:37:49 She gives you a discerning look and says,
• 00:37:52 for the trouble last time.
• 00:37:55 We’ll call it 110 crowns.
• 00:37:58 pay up.

Hazel

• 00:38:00 Yeah, she’ll…
• 00:38:02 So,
• 00:38:03 be a little glib and say, “Oh, well, unfortunately I don’t have 110 crowns,” and she puts down 11 dragons.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:10 When you say I don’t have a 110 crown, she gives you like a…
• 00:38:16 like a seriously kind of look.
• 00:38:18 When you put down the coin, she looks at it and she smirks.
• 00:38:21 She says, ah, well, that will do as well.
• 00:38:24 Thank you, dearie.

Hazel

• 00:38:25 - Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:26 Be sure to be on time. I close up right around then.

Temerity

• 00:38:26 - He he he.

Hazel

• 00:38:32 gives a thumbs up.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:35 She gives a thumbs up.
• 00:38:36 She gives you a receipt like last time.
• 00:38:40 Um,

Hazel

• 00:38:40 Cool.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:41 and heads off.
• 00:38:43 No, she doesn’t head off. You would be the one to head off.

Hazel

• 00:38:45 I head off.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:47 you would be the one to head off.

Iva

• 00:38:49 He heads off.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:50 Luma.

Hazel

• 00:38:50 Sorry, guys, I’m funding the terrorists.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:53 She’s funding the terrorists.
• 00:38:55 Luma.

Luma

• 00:38:57 Oh, well.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:57 If far too many nodes.
• 00:39:00 It’s impossible to keep track. You arrive at work,
• 00:39:05 Um,
• 00:39:06 And you get to the…
• 00:39:10 the Bureau of…
• 00:39:14 infrastructure and mapping.
• 00:39:16 And immediately before entering are greeted with an unusual sight.
• 00:39:20 Standing outside the front door is a tall room.
• 00:39:26 probably like six, seven
• 00:39:28 dragonborn woman

Temerity

• 00:39:32 Right.

Luma

• 00:39:32 Well, thank you, Luma.

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:32 uh,
• 00:39:35 She has a yellow green scales.
• 00:39:38 Um,
• 00:39:39 yellow slitted like cat-like eyes. She’s wearing bright full plate armor emblazoned with the
• 00:39:48 lantern insignia upon it and across her back is a massive greatsword.

Luma

• 00:39:55 Wow.
• 00:39:57 Little waves on our way in.

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:58 She looks at you as you wave, but as you start to enter, she puts out her hand.
• 00:40:06 So hold on.

Luma

• 00:40:08 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:40:08 um,
• 00:40:09 The head of…
• 00:40:11 the head of infrastructure and mapping is having a
• 00:40:15 There’s an important meeting going on and no one is permitted to enter until it’s concluded.

Luma

• 00:40:21 Okay.
• 00:40:22 Can I wait a while here with you or should I go somewhere else?

Dungeon Master

• 00:40:25 You may wait out here with me if you would like.

Luma

• 00:40:27 Okay, cool.
• 00:40:29 Perks it.
• 00:40:30 next to the door.

Dungeon Master

• 00:40:32 She just stands next to the door.

Temerity

• 00:40:32 Hee hee hee.

Dungeon Master

• 00:40:34 She doesn’t seem like…
• 00:40:37 hostile in any way. She’s just kind of doing her job.

Luma

• 00:40:40 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:40:41 Um,
• 00:40:42 you would recognize the, um,
• 00:40:45 the Lake Heraldry.
• 00:40:47 It’s obviously Order of the Lantern,
• 00:40:50 but it’s specifically the same kind of…
• 00:40:53 Harold read the guards in the basement of the Silver Archive had.

Luma

• 00:41:01 That’s a really nice sword.

Dungeon Master

• 00:41:03 Oh,
• 00:41:04 Thank you.
• 00:41:05 It belonged to my mother. She passed it on to me.
• 00:41:10 when she retired from the stone shields.

Luma

• 00:41:11 Oh.
• 00:41:14 I’m sure that thing has a lot of cool stories.

Dungeon Master

• 00:41:18 Um,
• 00:41:19 Not so many.

Luma

• 00:41:24 I guess that’s a good thing, right?

Dungeon Master

• 00:41:25 Uh,
• 00:41:26 Stone Shields don’t tend to have to use lethal force.
• 00:41:32 I’ve only, uh,
• 00:41:34 been involved in a couple of incidents where it was required of me.
• 00:41:38 to use it.
• 00:41:40 um,

Luma

• 00:41:41 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:41:44 There’s a Sorrowsworn in the south at the town of Rivercross.
• 00:41:49 uh,

Luma

• 00:41:51 Really? What was it like?

Dungeon Master

• 00:41:51 Couple of years ago.
• 00:41:53 It was a horrible, monstrous, deformed kind of…
• 00:41:58 person, um,
• 00:41:59 I was a backup for a purifier who was put in charge of dealing with it.

Luma

• 00:42:04 - Oh.
• 00:42:06 So why are you in the city and not out there?

Dungeon Master

• 00:42:10 Oh, well, um,
• 00:42:11 We go where we’re needed.
• 00:42:13 I’m not a purifier, I’m a sensor.
• 00:42:15 So usually I’m in the city.

Luma

• 00:42:18 What’s the center?

Dungeon Master

• 00:42:19 Um,
• 00:42:20 Our main function is to hunt illegal mages, but we also serve other functions for the order as needed. Many of us are charged with guarding important institutions.

Luma

• 00:42:34 Okay.
• 00:42:37 You ever caught a mage before?
• 00:42:38 I heard that really scary.

Dungeon Master

• 00:42:40 that was one of the other times I was required to use my blade.

Luma

• 00:42:44 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:42:48 And they are indeed very scary.

Luma

• 00:42:52 It’s a good thing you made it out, I guess.

Dungeon Master

• 00:42:55 I would agree with that. Young lady, what is your name, if I may ask?

Luma

• 00:43:01 I’m Luma.
• 00:43:02 Luma Drace.

Dungeon Master

• 00:43:03 Ah.
• 00:43:04 Interesting. You may call me Marigold.

Luma

• 00:43:08 That’s a pretty name.

Dungeon Master

• 00:43:10 Thank you.
• 00:43:11 Luma trace.
• 00:43:12 um,
• 00:43:14 I’m sure it won’t be much longer.
• 00:43:15 They were just…
• 00:43:16 And then the door closed.
• 00:43:17 and out walk two figures.
• 00:43:21 more notes that I have to find.
• 00:43:24 um,

Luma

• 00:43:24 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:43:26 The first figure is an older human man.
• 00:43:31 uh,
• 00:43:34 he, uh,
• 00:43:37 is a,
• 00:43:39 kind of like
• 00:43:40 He’s not slender, but he’s not, like, large.
• 00:43:43 He’s kind of, like, average build.
• 00:43:45 Dark hair, kind of receding at the temples, parted and a little messy.
• 00:43:51 He has a short…
• 00:43:53 beard and mustache. He’s wearing a very nice but plain dark formal coat.
• 00:43:59 over a…
• 00:44:02 over a white collar.
• 00:44:04 Um,
• 00:44:05 On his face, he’s wearing what is called a…
• 00:44:11 A Ponce Ne?
• 00:44:13 which is essentially like a double monocle or glasses without the…
• 00:44:21 the things that go over your ears.

Luma

• 00:44:24 Oh, okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:25 Yeah.
• 00:44:25 And for him, I have a reference picture.

Luma

• 00:44:29 CASP.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:31 guess.
• 00:44:35 Thank you.
• 00:44:36 He is also, he is human.
• 00:44:40 uh,
• 00:44:41 This is what he looks like.

Luma

• 00:44:46 Oh, fancy man.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:47 fancy man. He is indeed a very fancy man. Alongside him,
• 00:44:52 is a
• 00:44:54 woman,
• 00:44:56 Um…
• 00:44:57 Ooh.
• 00:44:58 does not have a reference picture
• 00:45:01 but still has some description.
• 00:45:03 She’s sharp featured, probably in her 30s,
• 00:45:06 dark hair pulled into a practical knot
• 00:45:10 at the back and top of her head. She has a single streak of gray going across over her left eye.
• 00:45:18 Um,
• 00:45:19 pale skin, dark brown eyes,
• 00:45:22 She’s dressed in formal kind of layered robes,
• 00:45:27 which you recognize as being very common among the Silver Archive.
• 00:45:30 And you actually probably recognize her, though you don’t know her personally.
• 00:45:36 This is Vaestra Wenn. She is the head of the Silver Archive. Or specifically, her title is curator.
• 00:45:45 um,

Luma

• 00:45:45 Well, it was a little like bow.

Dungeon Master

• 00:45:48 See.
• 00:45:48 gives a nod and says, um,
• 00:45:52 She looks at you. Sorry, she doesn’t…
• 00:45:55 Sorry.
• 00:45:56 You give a little bow.
• 00:45:58 Um,
• 00:45:59 she kind of looks at you
• 00:46:01 but
• 00:46:02 and gives a little nod, but they continue on their way.
• 00:46:05 her and the guy, and as they leave, the dragonborn woman turns and follows behind them.

Luma

• 00:46:14 Uh,
• 00:46:16 One more stairs at the door.
• 00:46:17 And then calls out the mayor and goes, wait, can I go in yet?

Dungeon Master

• 00:46:20 Marigold kind of gives like a waving gesture of like, yeah.
• 00:46:24 Go ahead.

Luma

• 00:46:24 Okay, thank you. Have a nice day.
• 00:46:26 And then my run’s inside.

Temerity

• 00:46:28 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:46:29 You run inside.
• 00:46:31 And the atmosphere of the office is quiet.
• 00:46:36 It is not a large office. There are not a lot of employees, but at first glance, it seems like no one is here.
• 00:46:44 Um,
• 00:46:46 But as you head in, you see Kessa, Kessa Tumblebrim…
• 00:46:52 The.
• 00:46:54 The old, not old, sorry, she’s not old.
• 00:46:56 But the gnomish woman who is your immediate superior.
• 00:47:00 She’s at her desk and she visibly, obviously looks distraught.

Luma

• 00:47:08 and pokes her head into her office and kind of like awkwardly knocks on the door.
• 00:47:12 I’m here for work.

Dungeon Master

• 00:47:14 Oh, come in.
• 00:47:16 Um,
• 00:47:18 Come in and shut the door behind you.

Luma

• 00:47:21 Okay.
• 00:47:22 I’m a closest to the Irish he walks in.
• 00:47:24 Are you okay?

Dungeon Master

• 00:47:25 No.
• 00:47:27 No, I’m not okay.
• 00:47:28 Um,
• 00:47:30 I am…

Luma

• 00:47:30 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:47:32 I don’t know what happened, Luma. I’m so sorry. I don’t understand what happened.
• 00:47:37 um,
• 00:47:37 the, the, the, the curator of the silver archive. Um, she was here with, uh,
• 00:47:43 with some
• 00:47:47 with
• 00:47:48 with Lord Thaddeus Marwin.
• 00:47:50 I don’t know if you know him.
• 00:47:52 He’s…
• 00:47:55 He’s a member of the Lexicon
• 00:47:57 Um,
• 00:48:01 They, um…
• 00:48:04 They came on behalf of the church.
• 00:48:06 Um,
• 00:48:08 I don’t know how to tell you this
• 00:48:10 Apparently the work order you did a few days ago was some
• 00:48:14 was not
• 00:48:15 was not authorized and was for some highly restricted areas.
• 00:48:20 Um,
• 00:48:22 Oh, Luma, it’s really bad, Luma.

Luma

• 00:48:26 Oh.
• 00:48:27 What do we do then?

Dungeon Master

• 00:48:29 I am.
• 00:48:30 She like actually starts crying a little like tears kind of running down her eyes.
• 00:48:34 She says, Luma, I am…
• 00:48:37 I’m really sorry.
• 00:48:39 They told me I have to fire you.

Luma

• 00:48:41 Me?
• 00:48:42 I was just,

Temerity

• 00:48:42 What?

Luma

• 00:48:43 What? Why me?

Dungeon Master

• 00:48:45 You…
• 00:48:47 Luma, believe me, I don’t understand why. I told them you’re my best employee. I told them that
• 00:48:54 the order looked official. I told them that I approved it.
• 00:48:57 that I would take responsibility.
• 00:48:59 And they said,
• 00:49:00 they still said that,
• 00:49:01 that,
• 00:49:01 that Luma,
• 00:49:02 they,
• 00:49:03 I’m so sorry.
• 00:49:03 I told them I did everything I could.
• 00:49:05 I,
• 00:49:06 But I can’t.
• 00:49:08 I need this job.
• 00:49:10 I can’t.
• 00:49:11 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 00:49:11 Oh, why?

Dungeon Master

• 00:49:11 Sheens.
• 00:49:13 I know. I’m sorry. I…
• 00:49:16 If I don’t…
• 00:49:18 If I put my foot down, they’ll just fire both of us.
• 00:49:22 I got the impression that there’s
• 00:49:24 Uh,
• 00:49:25 someone really high up
• 00:49:27 who’s, who’s,
• 00:49:29 pushing for this.
• 00:49:30 Um,

Luma

• 00:49:31 Oh yeah, I got in trouble.

Dungeon Master

• 00:49:33 Well, I don’t know.
• 00:49:35 I, um,
• 00:49:37 I don’t know.
• 00:49:39 Um,
• 00:49:40 They, uh…
• 00:49:41 They told me that when you came in,
• 00:49:44 I, I, I,
• 00:49:45 I, that, that.
• 00:49:46 that I’m supposed to fire you, I’m supposed to make sure that you don’t take anything
• 00:49:50 but your own personal effects when you leave today.
• 00:49:53 And I’m supposed to tell you
• 00:49:55 that they want to interview you.
• 00:49:59 Um,
• 00:50:00 They have it scheduled for the morning of the 6th.

Luma

• 00:50:05 Okay.
• 00:50:06 Um…

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:06 Um,

Luma

• 00:50:07 Where?

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:08 at the Silver Archives building across the street.

Luma

• 00:50:12 Okay.
• 00:50:13 Does it have to be so far away?
• 00:50:16 or it’s so long away.

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:18 Um,
• 00:50:20 That’s, that’s,

Luma

• 00:50:20 My schedule just freed up.

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:22 that’s when they have it scheduled for. I, um,
• 00:50:25 I guess you could…
• 00:50:27 Go and ask for it to be moved up, but I don’t get the impression…
• 00:50:31 They were not very forthcoming as to…
• 00:50:35 any like reason for any of this Luma if i knew more i promise i would tell you
• 00:50:40 The little bit I can gather is they’re also dealing with, um,
• 00:50:46 like a much broader investigation over at the, uh, the vault Smith, uh,
• 00:50:51 guild hall. Um, and that’s why your interview is so delayed.

Luma

• 00:50:56 That makes sense. Who ordered the
• 00:50:59 or who issued the work order?

Dungeon Master

• 00:51:01 They…
• 00:51:02 As far as I know, that’s…
• 00:51:05 As far as I understand it, that’s the big…
• 00:51:10 the big thrust of the investigation,
• 00:51:13 at least on the vaultsmith side.
• 00:51:16 They asked me a lot of questions.
• 00:51:18 They asked if I saw who delivered it,
• 00:51:20 if I knew who had issued the order and was just not telling.
• 00:51:24 They asked basically the same thing 10 different ways if I knew who had done it.
• 00:51:29 And I told them I didn’t.
• 00:51:30 um,
• 00:51:32 So I don’t think they know.
• 00:51:34 I think that’s one of the things they’re trying to figure out.

Luma

• 00:51:39 Okay. Well,
• 00:51:40 I guess it was nice working with you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:51:43 Luma, I’m sorry.

Luma

• 00:51:45 Yeah.
• 00:51:46 It happens.

Dungeon Master

• 00:51:47 Oh, there’s…
• 00:51:49 There’s one other thing.
• 00:51:50 She goes into her desk and she starts rummaging around and she pulls out…
• 00:51:56 a little
• 00:51:59 like pouch and she goes into it and she pulls out, um,
• 00:52:03 She rummages through it for a second, and she pulls out a handful of gold coins and puts them down on the…
• 00:52:08 the table. She said, they didn’t tell me I wasn’t
• 00:52:11 allowed to give you your severance pay.
• 00:52:12 So that’s your…
• 00:52:15 You pay for the
• 00:52:16 back to the last paycheck
• 00:52:19 And your severance, it’s 50 crown in total.
• 00:52:23 And you can give me an insight to check.

Luma

• 00:52:26 Oh.
• 00:52:27 Fuck.
• 00:52:32 Ha ha ha! That’s a two…
• 00:52:34 Plus
• 00:52:35 Zero.
• 00:52:37 It’s a two.

Dungeon Master

• 00:52:38 Yeah. She’s like genuinely like very like upset that all of this is going on, but she like organizes the coins into five neat little stacks of 10 and places them in front of you. That’s your severance. That’s everything.
• 00:52:52 They didn’t tell me I could give it to you, but they also didn’t tell me I couldn’t, and…
• 00:52:56 So I’m, here it is.

Luma

• 00:53:00 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:53:01 um,

Luma

• 00:53:02 Almost stares at the coins, very conflicted about taking them, but she just lost her job, so she’s going to take the coins.

Dungeon Master

• 00:53:02 at that.
• 00:53:07 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:53:07 She scoops them up.

Dungeon Master

• 00:53:08 And she says,
• 00:53:09 If you want a recommendation or a reference, of course, I would be happy to write it for you at any time.
• 00:53:17 She scribbles down a piece of paper and hands it to you and said, “That’s my home address.”
• 00:53:21 Um, if you, if you ever need anything like that, feel free to come by.
• 00:53:25 I, I, I, I,
• 00:53:27 I will keep looking into this.
• 00:53:28 I will see if once things settles down,
• 00:53:31 I can maybe…
• 00:53:34 get this undone. I told them, Luma, I told them it wasn’t your fault. How could it be?
• 00:53:39 It came from the Volksmith’s office.
• 00:53:41 It’s on their end.
• 00:53:42 We shouldn’t be punished for that.
• 00:53:45 But.

Luma

• 00:53:45 Nierda.
• 00:53:46 Don’t get in trouble or anything.

Dungeon Master

• 00:53:48 I am.

Luma

• 00:53:48 It’s okay. I’ll find another job. I mean…
• 00:53:52 I’m sure there’s another place that wants me to drop maps.

Dungeon Master

• 00:53:52 Uh,
• 00:53:57 um,
• 00:53:58 I mean, the vaultsmiths always need…
• 00:54:00 like blueprints and things like that, but
• 00:54:03 you’re going to run into…
• 00:54:05 problems, I think,
• 00:54:07 given the investigation, if you try to head
• 00:54:09 if you try to get a job there while
• 00:54:11 your, um,
• 00:54:13 potentially being investigated yourself.

Luma

• 00:54:16 Yeah, I’ll
• 00:54:18 I guess I’ll take a little bit longer of a vacation again.

Dungeon Master

• 00:54:23 um,
• 00:54:24 She kind of looks down. I’m so sorry.

Luma

• 00:54:28 That’s OK.
• 00:54:30 Just…
• 00:54:31 I don’t know.
• 00:54:33 Be careful. Be safe.

Dungeon Master

• 00:54:34 yeah you too woman.

Luma

• 00:54:36 Thanks.
• 00:54:37 Thanks for giving me a job.

Dungeon Master

• 00:54:39 Yeah.
• 00:54:41 It was the best decision I ever made, and I stand by that.

Luma

• 00:54:44 I appreciate it.
• 00:54:49 awkwardly shuffle her way towards the door.

Dungeon Master

• 00:54:53 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:54:56 Uh,
• 00:54:58 second.
• 00:55:04 No.
• 00:55:05 Yeah.
• 00:55:06 On her way out, she’ll stop by her desk to like…
• 00:55:09 grab a few things.

Dungeon Master

• 00:55:11 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 00:55:12 like heard
• 00:55:13 whatever tools or things that she like keeps here.

Dungeon Master

• 00:55:15 Yeah, yeah.

Luma

• 00:55:16 specifically leaving behind any like,
• 00:55:18 in-progress work she does.
• 00:55:20 She does write, like,
• 00:55:22 a pretty long, like, note about, like, all of her in-progress, like,
• 00:55:27 tasks.

Dungeon Master

• 00:55:27 Okay.

Luma

• 00:55:29 Uh, and then she,
• 00:55:31 heads out and
• 00:55:33 In one of the hallways along the way, she writes on her wrist, I’m fine, and casts Disguise Self on herself so she doesn’t look like she’s crying.

Dungeon Master

• 00:55:43 Oh ho.
• 00:55:45 Um…

Luma

• 00:55:46 - Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:55:46 As you head out, I’d like you to give me a perception check.

Luma

• 00:55:54 um
• 00:55:58 Ooh.
• 00:56:00 What is my perception score?
• 00:56:04 18… 21!

Dungeon Master

• 00:56:07 21.
• 00:56:09 As you head out,
• 00:56:12 in the alleyway between the Bureau and the lexicon of civil notaries, the building next to it,
• 00:56:19 You catch sight of a figure short,
• 00:56:23 Uh, probably, uh,
• 00:56:25 under five feet tall.
• 00:56:27 um,
• 00:56:29 Right as you enter, like, line of sight of the alleyway, they go around behind the building.

Luma

• 00:56:41 Ah.
• 00:56:45 did she catch any sort of like,
• 00:56:48 detail about what they’re wearing or anything.

Dungeon Master

• 00:56:50 Yeah.
• 00:56:51 It’s broad daylight.
• 00:56:53 They’re hidden.
• 00:56:54 They’re wearing simple, regular clothes, like common clothes, right?
• 00:57:00 Nothing ratty, but also not like fine clothes or anything like nobility would wear. It did not look at a glance like they’re armored. If they’re armed, it’s a small arm that can be concealed. The one thing that stands out is they were wearing a hooded cloak that covered their face.

Luma

• 00:57:21 Hmm.
• 00:57:23 Luma’s not one to go chase a fucking spooky person in an alleyway.
• 00:57:29 uh,
• 00:57:32 Did she get
• 00:57:33 the sense that this might be one of the investigators

Dungeon Master

• 00:57:39 From just a glance, there’s nothing to indicate that.
• 00:57:43 They weren’t, like, wearing, like…
• 00:57:45 order of the lantern colors or anything like that.
• 00:57:49 um,

Luma

• 00:57:49 But,
• 00:57:49 What about the quality of their clothes?
• 00:57:52 Did it look like ratty clothes?
• 00:57:55 Kind of like.
• 00:57:56 you know, riffraff clothes or like,
• 00:57:59 well to do.

Dungeon Master

• 00:58:00 look like
• 00:58:01 like common clothes, like in between
• 00:58:05 like decent, like well cared for, but not expensive.
• 00:58:10 But not like riff-raffy.
• 00:58:11 It’s not like…
• 00:58:12 Other than the cloak, it looked like they were wearing ordinary clothes.

Luma

• 00:58:18 - Okay, and you dipped into an alleyway?

Dungeon Master

• 00:58:20 It just dipped.
• 00:58:21 They were at the back of this alley,
• 00:58:23 and the second you appeared around it,
• 00:58:25 they dipped around the corner.
• 00:58:27 With the 21 perception…
• 00:58:30 and their horrendous role, you can kind of tell,
• 00:58:35 like, you can see, like, the tip of a boot, like,
• 00:58:37 still peeking around this alleyway. They did not keep going. You did not hear them keep moving.
• 00:58:42 And you can still kind of see like the tip of their boots sticking out as they
• 00:58:45 seem to be waiting for something.

Luma

• 00:58:59 Okay.
• 00:59:00 Uh, yeah, Lynn was heading down that alleyway because she’s going to the, uh,
• 00:59:04 the bridge that she takes home.

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:07 you head down the alleyway
• 00:59:09 um,
• 00:59:10 And as you get up there,
• 00:59:12 you like walk almost like…
• 00:59:15 person is a little oblivious, and as you get up there, they’re like, ah!

Luma

• 00:59:20 That.

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:22 Oh,

Luma

• 00:59:23 Uh,

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:23 Okay. I, um,
• 00:59:26 Nope, this isn’t how the plan was.
• 00:59:28 This wasn’t the plan.
• 00:59:30 Um, this isn’t the plan at all. I was going to do a whole thing. It was going to be really like well rehearsed. I,
• 00:59:37 I planned it.

Luma

• 00:59:37 Oh, do you want me to go a different way? Sorry.
• 00:59:38 She’ll spin around.

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Luma

• 00:59:41 Amen.

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:42 walk back out to the main road
• 00:59:45 um,
• 00:59:46 head up the road uh and then
• 00:59:49 Like.
• 00:59:50 like down a ways and I’ll catch you on that next, the next most north road.

Luma

• 00:59:58 Yeah, sure, stranger. That sounds like a good idea.
• 01:00:00 She’ll turn around and walk away.

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:03 The figure takes off running across the open space between the buildings.

Luma

• 01:00:10 I was like, what am I doing?
• 01:00:12 She follows whatever direction you suggest to.

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:14 You,
• 01:00:15 You head up the road…
• 01:00:18 Or the Luma Go.

Luma

• 01:00:19 I don’t know. Somebody took me up north.

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:22 Oh, is that? Oh, right. You’re the only token. They don’t have a token.

Luma

• 01:00:25 I’m over there now.

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:25 You had.
• 01:00:26 Yeah, you’re over here now. You head up this road.
• 01:00:29 around here. And as you come around this building, a figure no longer wearing a hood pops out and
• 01:00:35 says, you, you look like you could use a drink.
• 01:00:40 Um,
• 01:00:41 The figure is a dwarven woman with light brown hair.
• 01:00:46 um,
• 01:00:46 pulled back into like a ponytail, meticulously braided beard, tucked kind of under her, uh,
• 01:00:55 Sorry, no, she’s not wearing that.
• 01:00:56 just a really nicely braided beard.
• 01:01:00 um,
• 01:01:03 And,
• 01:01:04 Interestingly,
• 01:01:06 A person you recognize
• 01:01:08 Though you only met her briefly.
• 01:01:10 twice before.
• 01:01:13 um,
• 01:01:14 you bumped into like this, you, you,
• 01:01:18 You bumped into this woman once.
• 01:01:21 uh,
• 01:01:22 A couple weeks ago, while you were doing a survey of the maintenance tunnels,
• 01:01:28 Um, below.

Luma

• 01:01:28 very fresh one, right?

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:29 Yes, session zero.

Luma

• 01:01:31 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:32 You bumped into her.
• 01:01:34 and had a conversation and then tracked her down once again later.

Luma

• 01:01:38 Yeah.
• 01:01:41 Well, I recognize you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:43 - Yes, we’ve met once before, Luma.
• 01:01:46 in the maintenance tunnels, you found that
• 01:01:50 that, uh,
• 01:01:52 that Tarnar Syndicate hidden door

Luma

• 01:01:55 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:55 And

Luma

• 01:01:56 That got me conscripted and then I got in trouble.

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:59 Yeah.
• 01:02:00 Yeah, it turns out when you stick your head into
• 01:02:04 to anything
• 01:02:07 you,
• 01:02:07 that can happen.
• 01:02:09 But you

Luma

• 01:02:10 I didn’t put my head in the wall.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:12 No, not literally.
• 01:02:13 Like when you start meddling in the affairs of all these…

Luma

• 01:02:17 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:18 shadowy organizations

Luma

• 01:02:18 Yeah, I did do that.
• 01:02:21 Yeah, I did that a lot.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:23 Well, that
• 01:02:24 At least makes you interesting.
• 01:02:27 Um,

Luma

• 01:02:27 And jobless.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:29 Yeah, I kind of figured.

Luma

• 01:02:32 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:32 um,
• 01:02:33 But,
• 01:02:35 You look like you could use a drink.
• 01:02:37 I know a nice place,
• 01:02:40 out of the way. Not a lot of people go there.
• 01:02:42 It’s a little bar in the southern
• 01:02:44 Hearth Wall called the Stacks.
• 01:02:46 um,
• 01:02:47 You should meet me there for drinks some night.
• 01:02:50 Tonight works best, but any night in the next couple days,
• 01:02:54 You should really do it before you talk to anyone from the archive, though.

Luma

• 01:03:00 there.
• 01:03:01 My schedule is free.
• 01:03:03 I could go right now.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:04 Well, I can’t go right now, but tonight?

Luma

• 01:03:08 Yeah.
• 01:03:08 Sure.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:09 um,

Luma

• 01:03:10 I have a very open schedule now and everybody seems busy.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:14 uh,
• 01:03:15 tonight and you can feel free to bring
• 01:03:18 a couple of those friends, you know, the ones who you, uh,
• 01:03:23 went into the vaults with.

Luma

• 01:03:25 I feel like I’m going to get in trouble doing this.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:29 Does Luma say that?

Luma

• 01:03:31 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:33 I won’t pretend that’s not possible, so you should…
• 01:03:38 Be careful.
• 01:03:39 And don’t bring anyone you don’t trust.

Luma

• 01:03:43 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:48 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:03:48 Yeah, sure.
• 01:03:49 I could use a drink.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:51 Yeah.
• 01:03:52 You know, drinks are on me.

Luma

• 01:03:55 Oh, cool.
• 01:03:56 Yeah, because I don’t have a job.

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:59 Yeah.
• 01:04:01 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:04:03 Luma keeps saying it specifically for whatever reason, like,

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:03 All right.
• 01:04:06 This is it.

Luma

• 01:04:07 - I’m just finalizing it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:08 Give me an insight trick.

Luma

• 01:04:10 Right.
• 01:04:12 Ugh.
• 01:04:14 15, 15.

Iva

• 01:04:16 I can’t give this woman depression.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:17 Fucking hell.

Luma

• 01:04:18 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:18 Um,
• 01:04:19 Every single time you say it,
• 01:04:22 She winces like someone who is like, like if someone’s like, oh man, I was really looking forward to that cookie.
• 01:04:28 And you were the person who took the last cookie out of the cookie jar.

Luma

• 01:04:31 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:32 That’s what she looks like every time you say, I don’t have a job.

Luma

• 01:04:34 Uh,
• 01:04:36 I’m about to find out that this lady is the one who forged the fucking work order.
• 01:04:39 All right.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:42 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 01:04:43 Oh, it gives her a little bit of a discerning look.

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:43 She…
• 01:04:48 looks up at Luma. Actually, no, you guys are about the same height. You’re fairly close in height. I

Iva

• 01:04:52 -

Dungeon Master

• 01:04:58 She looks at you and says, so the stacks tonight sometime after sunset?

Luma

• 01:05:03 Yeah, sure.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:05 um,
• 01:05:06 She gives more specific directions on how to find this bar.

Luma

• 01:05:10 Cool.
• 01:05:11 Yeah, normal wall.
• 01:05:12 pull out her fucking city map and mark it down.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:15 laughs
• 01:05:18 Do I have it marked down?
• 01:05:20 Sir, the stacks.

Luma

• 01:05:25 It’s my episode blurry.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:28 Yeah, I need to add some more areas, but it’s hard.

Luma

• 01:05:32 Yeah.
• 01:05:33 You’re really too good of a map.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:33 I don’t know.
• 01:05:36 The other stacks is on here.
• 01:05:40 Oh, it is not where I thought it was.
• 01:05:41 I’m going to have to move it.

Luma

• 01:05:43 - Yeah.
• 01:05:44 That’s fine.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:47 uh,

Luma

• 01:05:47 Oh, wait, actually, which direction is…
• 01:05:50 Where’s this apartment again? I was on autopilot going back to her apartment, but I realized she wouldn’t be going back to her apartment.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:55 Rhys’s apartment is off to the west.

Luma

• 01:06:00 Oh, it’s the opposite direction.

Dungeon Master

• 01:06:00 Luma’s is off to the east.

Luma

• 01:06:01 She’s.
• 01:06:02 Whoops. Oh yeah, it’s over there. Whoops.
• 01:06:04 Okay.
• 01:06:08 She’s going to like,
• 01:06:09 realize where she’s going and flip a U-turn.

Dungeon Master

• 01:06:13 So where is she heading?

Luma

• 01:06:13 I actually got to go this way.
• 01:06:14 Back to Rose’s apartment.

Dungeon Master

• 01:06:15 Okay.
• 01:06:16 Luma begins heading back to Rhys’s apartment.
• 01:06:18 um,

Luma

• 01:06:20 She takes like the long way and takes a very long time.

Dungeon Master

• 01:06:24 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:06:24 - Yes.
• 01:06:25 kicking rocks.

Dungeon Master

• 01:06:56 um,
• 01:07:00 - Kyren,
• 01:07:01 uh,
• 01:07:02 Mm-hmm.
• 01:07:03 Studying with Kyren is kind of whatever.
• 01:07:05 The material you’ve gotten so far is very simple.

Temerity

• 01:07:07 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:07:08 But he does seem to have like a…
• 01:07:11 a decent mind for linguistics.
• 01:07:14 Um,
• 01:07:17 And the physical training is more involved.
• 01:07:21 He’s like competent, but just not like physically built for this kind of stuff and is doing his best to make up for it.

Temerity

• 01:07:31 Uh-huh.
• 01:07:33 Temerity wants to see if there’s any pointers that
• 01:07:35 they could give like
• 01:07:38 caring how to best leverage what he currently has.
• 01:07:41 And like,
• 01:07:43 what he should try and develop more

Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master

• 01:08:01 Um, you,
• 01:08:03 You being someone who is like physically trained and like honed those, like your muscles and stuff, despite being very different from Kyren, you are able to pick up on like what his weaknesses in that regard are and give him some very particular tips.
• 01:08:19 um,
• 01:08:21 in how and specifically like how to train what kind of exercises to do that sort of thing.

Temerity

• 01:08:28 Uh-huh.

• 01:10:10 Bye.

Hazel

• 01:10:20 walk over to
• 01:10:23 to one of the windows out,
• 01:10:25 in her bedroom.
• 01:10:27 and just perch outside of it, staring outside.

Dungeon Master

Hazel

• 01:10:44 uh,
• 01:10:45 wouldn’t happen to be at advantage, would it?
• 01:10:48 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:10:48 No, it would not happen to be an advantage.

Hazel

• 01:10:50 All right, so a natural three plus seven for a total of 10.

Dungeon Master

• 01:10:54 This is a fairly busy area.
• 01:10:56 There’s people playing in the park.
• 01:10:58 going up and down the streets all day. You spot some like shady looking individuals every once
• 01:11:05 in a while, but you don’t spot anyone who seems, who draws your like actual concern.
• 01:11:12 Oh.
• 01:11:14 you do notice a healthy, like,
• 01:11:16 patrol of Order of the Lantern members every so often.

Hazel

• 01:11:21 Hazel Hissue.

Iva

• 01:11:21 I wonder what they’re looking for.

Dungeon Master

• 01:11:24 or hisses.
• 01:11:26 Being perched outside, you do notice when Luma and/or Temerity get back, whenever either of you feel like returning.

Hazel

• 01:11:35 Yeah.
• 01:11:37 either both times
• 01:11:40 Hazel will announce their arrival even though everyone is, well, more than aware that they are coming.
• 01:11:46 They can’t do it.

Temerity

• 01:11:46 laughs

Rhysaene

• 01:11:47 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 01:11:49 because of the maps.

Iva

• 01:11:53 Get mapped.

Luma

• 01:12:36 It’s the
• 01:12:38 It looks…
• 01:12:39 close to
• 01:12:41 what Rhys is dreaming about.
• 01:12:43 - Oh, essentially.

Temerity

• 01:12:43 I mean,
• 01:12:45 Gotcha.
• 01:12:47 Hmm.

Luma

• 01:15:29 I don’t want…
• 01:15:32 on a taint that
• 01:15:33 pleasant taste of cake with my
• 01:15:35 sadness.

Temerity

• 01:15:40 Oh,

Rhysaene

• 01:15:40 laughter

Hazel

• 01:15:40 In your current state, I don’t believe that’s possible.

Luma

• 01:15:45 Um,
• 01:15:47 Somebody approached me on the street is one of the vaultsmiths that I know.
• 01:15:52 She wants to have drinks tonight.
• 01:15:54 And she said I should probably bring some people that I trust.

Rhysaene

Rhysaene

• 01:15:57 - Mm-hmm.

Luma

Luma

• 01:16:23 I think it’ll probably take me like

Temerity

• 01:16:24 Wow.

Luma

• 01:16:25 or five or six hours.
• 01:16:28 you know.
• 01:16:35 Actually, what time is it?

Dungeon Master

• 01:16:37 It’s probably like, now that Luma’s back, it’s probably three or four in the afternoon.

Luma

• 01:16:43 Yeah, I can probably finish it up before we go.
• 01:16:46 Or, well, before I go, you guys are welcome to come.
• 01:16:48 You don’t have to.

Rhysaene

• 01:16:50 Yeah, we’ll come with you.

Temerity

• 01:16:52 Yeah, I’ll come.

Luma

Luma

• 01:17:14 to my life.

Temerity

• 01:17:16 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 01:17:19 I could make sure it’s done
• 01:17:20 painlessly.

Luma

• 01:17:24 No, that’s okay.

Hazel

• 01:17:26 Oh.
• 01:17:27 Very well. Well,
• 01:17:30 If it truly is something that you desire,
• 01:17:33 I can do it.

Temerity

• 01:17:33 I don’t know.

Iva

• 01:17:35 -

Hazel

• 01:17:36 I can do it without the sorrow setting in.

Iva

Rhysaene

• 01:17:54 -

Luma

Hazel

• 01:17:56 Yeah.

• 01:18:00 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:18:00 I’m sorry.

Hazel

• 01:18:13 uh,
• 01:18:21 I have a small…
• 01:18:26 a word that I would like to use.
• 01:18:29 I have a small convocation with some acquaintances.
• 01:18:34 right before nightfall.
• 01:18:37 But
• 01:18:37 I don’t imagine that that would take much time.
• 01:18:40 uh,
• 01:18:41 if you would have me.

Luma

• 01:18:44 Yeah, sure.
• 01:18:45 I’m just going to go get really drunk.

Temerity

• 01:18:48 laughs

Hazel

Iva

Temerity

Hazel

• 01:19:08 A stranger is just a friend.

Temerity

• 01:19:08 Strangers are just friends you haven’t met.

Hazel

• 01:19:10 No.

Temerity

• 01:19:12 Oh-ho!

Hazel

• 01:19:12 Stranger is just a friend you haven’t taken candy from yet.

Luma

• 01:19:15 I’m not.

Temerity

Rhysaene

• 01:20:06 That’s it.
• 01:20:08 and
• 01:20:09 place place their head on his lap.
• 01:20:12 could try and cheer her up.

Luma

• 01:20:15 So you just immediately pulled into Luma’s arms and she starts…
• 01:20:19 tormenting the dog with explanations about this.
• 01:20:22 this,
• 01:20:23 Goal.

Rhysaene

• 01:20:24 I don’t know.

Hazel

Luma

Temerity

Luma

Hazel

• 01:27:32 kind of beautiful.

Temerity

• 01:27:33 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 01:27:33 Well, I guess you won’t need to know where relatively it is.

Luma

• 01:27:33 can almost cover
• 01:27:37 I was going to say, I think we could cover the entire fucking city if we manage to put this in a good spot.

Hazel

• 01:27:44 Amen.

Temerity

• 01:27:44 Put it in the Church of the Silver Flame, the Cathedral of the Silver Flame.

Iva

• 01:27:47 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:27:48 I mean, yeah, ideally we would want it in the center of the city, but obviously we can’t.
• 01:27:52 So, like, this covers all of it.

Temerity

• 01:27:52 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:27:54 Except for like the very, very eastern edge of the city.
• 01:27:59 then if we really needed to we could go to Luma’s apartment and hit the other side of the city

Temerity

• 01:28:04 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 01:28:08 Did not mean to derail everything.

Hazel

• 01:28:08 Yeah.
• 01:28:10 No, you’re good.

Temerity

• 01:28:10 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 01:28:11 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:28:11 Uh,
• 01:28:12 uh,
• 01:28:13 It’s just like I’ve had many fish in my time, I’ve never thought to stew it.
• 01:28:18 And she’ll just like
• 01:28:19 - Yeah.
• 01:28:20 Once more, she’ll
• 01:28:23 She’ll just begin like completely devouring the food in front of her, regardless of…

Dungeon Master

• 01:28:29 Um, she kind of smiles a little and she says, “So,
• 01:28:33 At least someone likes my cooking, but you know, it could always use a little more salt.
• 01:28:37 And she reaches out like a little, like, salt shaker.
• 01:28:41 and hands it to you.

Hazel

• 01:28:47 Hazel A pauses for a second and goes, well, it’s actually…
• 01:28:51 Oh.
• 01:28:51 Yes.
• 01:28:52 Of course. Thank you.

Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master

• 01:28:56 Um,
• 01:28:57 I believe that concludes our business.

Hazel

• 01:29:03 Yes, it does.
• 01:29:07 I…
• 01:29:10 Uh,
• 01:29:12 That’s it.
• 01:29:13 I thank you for your expediency and I…
• 01:29:20 I trust that this will not be the last time that we make business.

Dungeon Master

• 01:29:36 Yes, of course, you must.
• 01:29:40 Uh,
• 01:29:45 It’s always…
• 01:29:47 It’s always nice to find somewhere that sources good ingredients.

Dungeon Master

• 01:29:50 She laughs.
• 01:29:52 Oh, I try only to carry the best.

Hazel

• 01:29:59 Peace out.

Dungeon Master

• 01:30:00 Hazel fucks off. While Hazel’s doing this, the rest of you are able to make it to three stacks.
• 01:30:07 um,
• 01:30:09 In the Southern Hearth Wall District,
• 01:30:11 somewhere.
• 01:30:13 perhaps even over here,
• 01:30:16 Uh,
• 01:30:19 Um,
• 01:30:20 tucked in like a kind of dingy section of neighborhood, is a small…
• 01:30:27 uh,
• 01:30:27 one story building
• 01:30:29 um,
• 01:30:32 like a window…
• 01:30:34 on the front of the building, but the window is currently covered.
• 01:30:38 the only sign
• 01:30:41 is a wooden sign carved with
• 01:30:45 a
• 01:30:47 a bookshelf.
• 01:30:48 like a, like, not carved, sorry, it’s painted, painted onto a wooden sign is the image of a bookshelf.

Luma

• 01:31:01 I think that’s the place. I didn’t realize this was book themed.
• 01:31:04 This actually makes me way more sad than I thought I would.

Temerity

Rhysaene

• 01:31:12 Aww.

Dungeon Master

• 01:32:45 The first thing you noticed is the smell.
• 01:32:48 Um,
• 01:32:48 This place smells like…
• 01:32:51 like old parchment, old books, and a little bit of mildew. It’s not

Temerity

• 01:32:55 Oh, fuck off.

Dungeon Master

• 01:32:57 What?

Temerity

• 01:32:58 Nothing.

Dungeon Master

• 01:33:02 Um,

Iva

• 01:33:03 laughing

Dungeon Master

• 01:33:04 It’s not, like, awful.

Iva

• 01:33:04 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 01:33:05 It’s just, like, a hint of it.
• 01:33:07 It’s, like, a little bit of a…
• 01:33:10 um,
• 01:33:16 a little bit of an overtone to the scent of the place.
• 01:33:20 You also smell beer.
• 01:33:23 Ale,
• 01:33:25 Yes.
• 01:33:26 like, the smell of, uh…
• 01:33:28 Food but not cooked recently. As you go in, the bar is almost completely empty. There are like one or two people seated. It’s also a small bar. You go in, it’s dimly lit.
• 01:33:40 The main floor has got bar tables set up.
• 01:33:43 There’s a person in one corner
• 01:33:46 One person sitting at the bar
• 01:33:48 We’re, uh,
• 01:33:50 A slightly older human woman is tending bar. She’s got like really curly gray hair and little glasses that she keeps having to push back up onto her nose because every time she looks down, they slide off a little bit.
• 01:34:04 um,
• 01:34:05 And sitting at one of the tables in the farthest corner is a dwarven woman whom Luma recognizes.
• 01:34:14 The edges of the room are all lined with bookshelves.
• 01:34:20 The bookshelves are about…
• 01:34:22 half empty and scattered across them are various books in like various states of disrepair.
• 01:34:29 It seems to be like a themed decor of this place.
• 01:34:34 is like
• 01:34:36 it’s giving library

Luma

• 01:34:39 everything reminds me of my old job.

Iva

Luma

• 01:34:46 uh,

Temerity

Rhysaene

• 01:34:46 - Aww.

Temerity

• 01:34:49 I knew the parchment was going to do it.

Luma

• 01:34:49 I don’t know.
• 01:34:51 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 01:34:57 We’ll head over to the dwarf lady.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:00 You head over and she looks up.
• 01:35:02 She already has a glass of what looks like ale.
• 01:35:04 She kind of raises it and says…
• 01:35:06 “Ah, I’m glad you came, Luma.” She kind of looks back and said,
• 01:35:11 These are your friends.

Luma

• 01:35:13 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 01:35:14 Hi.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:15 Hello.

Luma

• 01:35:16 This is this is res and that’s Temerity and that’s Iva.

Iva

• 01:35:20 I have a waves.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:20 Um,
• 01:35:22 risk, Temerity,
• 01:35:24 Iva, Luma, Luma, I don’t think we’ve ever properly introduced
• 01:35:29 uh,
• 01:35:30 I’m a aunt.

Luma

• 01:35:30 is,

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:31 Sorry.

Luma

• 01:35:32 You said your name, but then I forgot it because I was really focused on other things.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:35 Yeah.
• 01:35:36 Um,

Luma

• 01:35:36 And that actually proved to be really good because Inquisitor wanted your name.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:41 Oh.
• 01:35:41 - Well, I’m glad you forgot it then.

Luma

• 01:35:44 Yeah, so choose carefully if you want to tell me it right now.

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:44 um,

Iva

• 01:35:46 -

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:46 Now I’ll tell you, my name is Amber, Amber Deepdraft.
• 01:35:52 Um, and I am, uh,
• 01:35:54 Yeah, we’ll start with that. Everyone sit down, get drinks. Drinks are on me.
• 01:35:59 Get whatever you want.

Rhysaene

• 01:35:59 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:36:01 They don’t have anything expensive here, but whatever you want.

Rhysaene

• 01:36:03 That.
• 01:36:04 That’s fun.

Dungeon Master

• 01:36:08 um,
• 01:36:11 She kind of looks at you and…
• 01:36:13 you can like tell she’s been here a while.
• 01:36:16 Um,
• 01:36:18 She’s heard her.
• 01:36:20 Her glass may have been refilled several times, but Dwarven Constitution being what it is, she’s not yet, like…
• 01:36:28 phased by the fact that she’s been drinking a lot.
• 01:36:31 She says, “Luma,
• 01:36:36 I’m sorry.
• 01:36:39 It’s my fault you got fired.

Luma

• 01:36:41 Yeah, I figure.

Temerity

• 01:36:44 did.

Dungeon Master

• 01:36:47 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 01:36:48 Did you forge the…

Dungeon Master

• 01:36:52 Forge is a strong word.
• 01:36:54 um,
• 01:36:55 I am a senior vaultsmith.
• 01:36:58 It is an official work order.
• 01:37:01 uh,
• 01:37:02 I just happened to not put my name on it.

Luma

• 01:37:07 So,
• 01:37:09 Bye.

Dungeon Master

• 01:37:13 It doesn’t make it better, but I will say upfront,
• 01:37:16 I thought I would be able to pull your report before anyone else saw it.
• 01:37:21 um,
• 01:37:22 I didn’t realize the degree to which
• 01:37:27 certain
• 01:37:29 uh,
• 01:37:30 forces within the vaultsmiths were…
• 01:37:32 um,
• 01:37:36 pre-reading
• 01:37:37 reports that weren’t
• 01:37:41 There’s a lot more oversight than I thought there was on the vaultsmiths.
• 01:37:46 And it was a very unpleasantly learned lesson.
• 01:37:50 Um,
• 01:37:51 You asked why?
• 01:37:54 Yeah.
• 01:37:56 genuinely you weren’t supposed to this what no one was supposed to know this happened um the reason
• 01:38:02 why is because you found that secret door
• 01:38:05 The reason why is because you struck me as someone with an inquisitive mind.
• 01:38:10 And I wanted to see how well that bore out
• 01:38:14 Um,
• 01:38:15 in reality.
• 01:38:17 I…
• 01:38:21 I wanted to see what you found.
• 01:38:23 I’ve wanted to
• 01:38:27 I wanted to know what was in those vaults for years.
• 01:38:32 But more important than that, I wanted to know…
• 01:38:35 if you were the kind of person who could go digging.

Luma

• 01:38:41 Luma pulls out a shovel from her backpack just to make a weird point and puts it away.

Dungeon Master

• 01:38:46 She tilts her head.
• 01:38:48 It says, “I’ve already said too much.
• 01:38:50 much more than I was intending to say.
• 01:38:54 Um,
• 01:38:55 so fast, but, uh,
• 01:38:58 Well,
• 01:39:01 I…

Iva

• 01:39:01 Well, you did get her fired, so I think it’s fair.

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:02 Yes.
• 01:39:03 I,
• 01:39:04 Yes.

Iva

• 01:39:04 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:05 I did, and I feel bad about that.

Temerity

• 01:39:06 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:08 I, that was not my intention.

Luma

• 01:39:08 I guess.

Temerity

• 01:39:10 and got her in trouble with.

Luma

• 01:39:10 You seem a whole lot less concerned about the fallout than everybody else does.
• 01:39:14 I’m getting interrogated in a couple days.
• 01:39:19 What am I supposed to tell them?

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:19 Yeah.
• 01:39:22 You should be fine.
• 01:39:24 I’ve seen your reports.
• 01:39:27 um,
• 01:39:30 now that the investigation is ongoing,
• 01:39:33 there’s nothing in it that would get you in trouble.
• 01:39:39 You just have to be careful not to reveal anything that wasn’t already in your report.
• 01:39:45 and I think you’ll be fine.

Luma

• 01:39:48 use.
• 01:39:49 You really sound like you actually know what was down there.

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:54 I am.
• 01:39:56 I don’t know. I’ve never been. Well, yeah, no, I’ve never been down there.
• 01:40:01 not into the sealed vaults.
• 01:40:03 So no, I don’t know. I had some suspicions.
• 01:40:08 Um,
• 01:40:09 But before I get into more specifics on anything like that,
• 01:40:13 um,
• 01:40:19 You, uh…
• 01:40:22 Let’s see how…
• 01:40:24 How do I say this?
• 01:40:27 Me, the DM, how do I say this?

Luma

• 01:40:30 Ha ha.

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:31 um,
• 01:40:32 This is the wrong notes.
• 01:40:35 - -

Luma

• 01:40:44 - Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:48 - Ah, um.
• 01:40:51 There’s a growing…
• 01:40:53 discontent.
• 01:40:55 with the
• 01:40:57 things that the…
• 01:41:01 Synod is willing to report about
• 01:41:05 the history of this city.
• 01:41:08 every year that passes new inconsistencies pop up and are dismissed out of
• 01:41:15 hand when brought up or the people who bring them up suddenly find themselves,
• 01:41:20 um,
• 01:41:24 Well,
• 01:41:25 in the best of

Luma

• 01:41:25 Staple us.

Dungeon Master

• 01:41:26 in the best of cases, jobless.
• 01:41:29 Um,
• 01:41:31 There’s a belief that…
• 01:41:35 We were,
• 01:41:36 that it’s not just
• 01:41:39 poorly recorded history, that it’s actively
• 01:41:43 misinformed history.
• 01:41:45 And, um,
• 01:41:49 There are people who want to know more about
• 01:41:52 why that’s happening and what the truth is.
• 01:41:57 not.
• 01:42:00 are you the kind of people who want to know that?

Luma

• 01:42:08 Do I have a choice with this?

Iva

• 01:42:08 I have a look at the parody.

Luma

• 01:42:10 point.

Rhysaene

• 01:42:11 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:42:11 Sorry.
• 01:42:12 Can you say that again, Eylesis?

Luma

• 01:42:14 Do I have a choice at this point?

Dungeon Master

• 01:42:17 I mean, you can close your eyes and bury your head in the dirt.
• 01:42:20 Your work was exemplary.
• 01:42:23 I’m sure you won’t have any trouble finding another job.
• 01:42:28 But, uh,

Luma

• 01:42:28 Yeah, but it’s
• 01:42:29 Not map making.

Dungeon Master

• 01:42:35 What is map making? Sorry.

Luma

• 01:42:36 You took,
• 01:42:38 You took my dream job for a curiosity.
• 01:42:41 You could have just asked.

Dungeon Master

• 01:42:44 No.
• 01:42:47 No, I couldn’t have.

Luma

• 01:42:50 Yeah, you could have said, hey, maybe don’t turn in the report when you’re done with it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:42:50 I mean,

Luma

• 01:42:55 Or, you know…
• 01:42:57 A little communication, friend.

Dungeon Master

• 01:43:00 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:43:01 There’s a lot of stuff down there.

Dungeon Master

• 01:43:01 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:43:03 I already know it now.
• 01:43:05 I can’t just unknow it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:43:07 Well, that’s good. You should know it. Everyone should know it.
• 01:43:10 She, as she says that, and like your voice raises and her raises, she shakes her head and says, not here, not right now.
• 01:43:19 if we might get to that later.
• 01:43:24 But
• 01:43:25 But.
• 01:43:26 that’s best saved for…
• 01:43:28 All right.
• 01:43:30 uh,
• 01:43:31 quieter place.

Luma

• 01:43:36 Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.

Dungeon Master

• 01:43:40 I…
• 01:43:41 I can only apologize so much. You’re right. If I had just come to you,
• 01:43:47 and told you things might have worked out better for both of us.
• 01:43:50 There are people who, if I had done that with
• 01:43:53 Uh,
• 01:43:54 I would be in jail or worse.
• 01:43:56 And I had no way to know for sure which you were.
• 01:44:02 So yes, it was a test and it blew up in my face
• 01:44:05 and it blew up in your face.
• 01:44:06 And for that, I’m sorry.
• 01:44:08 Sometimes you have to make those decisions when you’re

Iva

• 01:44:09 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:14 playing at this sort of thing.

Luma

• 01:44:19 I don’t like those decisions.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:21 Well, I don’t like them either.

Temerity

• 01:44:22 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:44:26 Okay.
• 01:44:27 I want to know more.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:29 You want to know more?

Luma

• 01:44:29 I don’t know.
• 01:44:30 I had a whole lot of free time.

Iva

• 01:44:34 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:37 Um,
• 01:44:38 Yeah, all right.
• 01:44:40 um,
• 01:44:41 She kind of looks at all of you and she says,
• 01:44:45 You’re the ones who went into the vaults with Luma, right?

Temerity

• 01:44:49 Temerity just skips it up.

Iva

• 01:44:50 You have no evidence of that.

Rhysaene

• 01:44:52 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:52 She looks at Iva.

Temerity

• 01:44:53 Hehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 01:44:54 You could call us friends, yeah?

Temerity

• 01:44:57 Right, he gives a wordless nod.

Iva

• 01:44:58 I think it goes, oh, this was one of the times where we were allowed to be honest.

Temerity

• 01:45:02 Hehehehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:05 Um,
• 01:45:07 I think…

Temerity

• 01:45:07 Bye.

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:07 about this point would be when Hazel was able to show up

Hazel

• 01:45:11 I literally…

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:13 Huh?

Hazel

• 01:45:13 I literally posted the fucking Kramer entering GIF.

Luma

• 01:45:16 That’s right.

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:17 Yeah.

Hazel

• 01:45:17 And soon…

Iva

• 01:45:17 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 01:45:17 laughter
• 01:45:19 laughter

Iva

• 01:45:19 What are you doing?

Hazel

• 01:45:21 laughs

Iva

• 01:45:21 you know.

Rhysaene

• 01:45:21 -

Hazel

• 01:45:24 Gary.
• 01:45:24 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:45:25 Jerry.

Hazel

• 01:45:28 Hazel will enter.
• 01:45:32 uh,
• 01:45:34 She’ll just
• 01:45:35 Without really saying a word, she’ll just make her way to the…
• 01:45:39 to the table that they’re
• 01:45:41 everyone’s at and
• 01:45:44 If there’s a free chair, she’ll take it.
• 01:45:45 If there’s not, she’ll…
• 01:45:47 uh,
• 01:45:49 She’ll just stand there.

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:50 There is.
• 01:45:51 There is, in fact, a free trip.

Hazel

• 01:45:53 Nice. Okay.

Luma

• 01:45:56 Well, but…
• 01:45:57 weaving rope together in her hands, like little threads.

Dungeon Master

• 01:46:05 was going to hang her.

Hazel

• 01:46:05 She…

Temerity

• 01:46:05 Gonna hogtie this person.

Hazel

• 01:46:07 She looks…

Iva

• 01:46:07 You can’t read.

Luma

• 01:46:07 No, no, no, no. Let me go. Real small, like, string.

Rhysaene

• 01:46:08 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:46:10 Uh,

Hazel

• 01:46:10 Um,
• 01:46:11 She’ll look to Luma and say, uh,
• 01:46:15 Hello.
• 01:46:16 Hello, Luma.

Luma

• 01:46:17 Uh,

Hazel

• 01:46:18 And then she’ll look at the

Luma

• 01:46:18 You want to get drunk with us?

Hazel

• 01:46:20 um,
• 01:46:23 She kind of like,
• 01:46:25 pauses, thinks about it, goes,
• 01:46:29 Mm.
• 01:46:31 I think I’ll…
• 01:46:32 I think I’ll keep my wits about me tonight.
• 01:46:34 But thank you.
• 01:46:35 And she’ll look over to the dwarf lady across the table and say,
• 01:46:39 So,
• 01:46:40 So is this the one that gave you strife?

Iva

• 01:46:44 -

Luma

• 01:46:45 Luma almost replies, realizes who she’s about to talk to, and then says…

Iva

• 01:46:46 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 01:46:52 with now,
• 01:46:53 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:46:54 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:46:56 Okay.

Rhysaene

• 01:46:57 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:46:58 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 01:46:59 Cheers, our friend.

Hazel

• 01:47:02 Ah.
• 01:47:02 Hello, I’m Hazel, and I think as a way to break the ice, I think we should share which of our fingers are our least favorite.

Luma

• 01:47:04 She’s.

Temerity

• 01:47:10 laughter

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:10 Um,

Luma

• 01:47:12 Her name is

Iva

• 01:47:12 I’ve unlooked at her hands.
• 01:47:14 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:47:14 Her name is Amber.
• 01:47:16 She reminds me a lot of Iva.

Hazel

• 01:47:19 -

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:19 Okay, hold on.

Temerity

• 01:47:20 laughter

Iva

• 01:47:21 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:22 Um,

Iva

• 01:47:22 Iva goes, “Whoa!”

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:24 Yeah.

Iva

• 01:47:24 I’m not that short.

Temerity

• 01:47:24 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:25 All right.
• 01:47:28 or
• 01:47:29 I’m Amber, Amber Deepdraft.
• 01:47:33 having a conversation about the, um,
• 01:47:36 the institutions of Argentum and their unwillingness to share the truth about the nature of the city.

Luma

• 01:47:44 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:44 Is that the kind of thing you would…
• 01:47:47 be interested in.

Hazel

• 01:47:54 uh,
• 01:47:56 She squints and goes,
• 01:47:58 Go on.

Temerity

• 01:48:00 Okay.

Hazel

• 01:48:01 No, but she goes…
• 01:48:04 Um,
• 01:48:07 Yes.
• 01:48:07 course.

Luma

• 01:48:08 Oh yeah, to answer your early question,

Hazel

• 01:48:08 Continue.

Luma

• 01:48:10 I was the only one that wanted out of the vaults and that’s all that matters.

Dungeon Master

• 01:48:20 your…
• 01:48:22 desire to protect your friends is…
• 01:48:25 Admirable.
• 01:48:29 But I know these are the people you took into the vaults with you.

Luma

• 01:48:35 Uh-uh.

Dungeon Master

• 01:48:40 I’m sorry about your job.

Iva

• 01:48:41 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:48:42 but this is bigger than that.
• 01:48:44 and I’m done apologizing.
• 01:48:49 I’m asking if you would like to be a part of something or not.

Luma

• 01:48:53 I already said yes.

Dungeon Master

• 01:48:57 All right.
• 01:49:00 Then.
• 01:49:01 Let’s take this meeting to somewhere where we can be
• 01:49:04 a little
• 01:49:05 less circumspect.
• 01:49:07 She stands up.
• 01:49:09 Um,
• 01:49:11 and heads over to
• 01:49:13 Like,
• 01:49:14 The way this is set up, Eylesis,
• 01:49:17 This place is very similar in structure to that little bookshop that we went to.
• 01:49:23 Um,
• 01:49:25 in downtown Denton.

Luma

• 01:49:27 Oh.
• 01:49:28 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:49:28 You know what I’m talking about?

Luma

• 01:49:29 Oh, the downstairs.

Dungeon Master

• 01:49:30 Um,
• 01:49:30 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:49:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the basement.

Dungeon Master

• 01:49:32 except there presumably is no downstairs.
• 01:49:35 There’s another room that kind of leads off to a bookshelf.
• 01:49:38 um,
• 01:49:39 Amber goes around the room and she goes through the various books on the shelves and every
• 01:49:45 so often she’ll pick up a book.
• 01:49:47 and move it to a different spot.
• 01:49:49 And anyone who wants can give me a perception check.

Luma

• 01:49:54 Yeah, one was watching.

Temerity

• 01:49:56 I’ll give a little percepty, percepty.

Iva

• 01:49:59 I’ll proceed.
• 01:50:01 I’m curious. She’s moving books.
• 01:50:03 And plus, Luma just said she’s like Iva, so probably like a good person.

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:03 And.
• 01:50:07 Anyone who rolls put it in
• 01:50:10 in game chat, so I haven’t.

Hazel

• 01:50:11 Yeah.
• 01:50:12 I’ve got perception of the wazoo, except not really.
• 01:50:15 God damn it.
• 01:50:16 Okay.

Luma

• 01:50:17 Oh.

Hazel

• 01:50:20 going to
• 01:50:21 We’re going to kill her before she convinces to kill Bahamut.

Luma

• 01:50:25 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:50:25 laughs

Iva

• 01:50:25 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:26 Just, just, just, just, just.

Rhysaene

• 01:50:28 I’m asking you to be a part of.

Hazel

• 01:50:29 I’m not joining the blades no matter how cool your armor is.

Luma

• 01:50:30 Yes.

Rhysaene

• 01:50:31 - Yeah.

Luma

• 01:50:32 The fucking net.

Temerity

• 01:50:32 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 01:50:33 As an icebreaker, tell me which one is your favorite finger, whatever.
• 01:50:37 It’s really funny.

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:38 Ho, ho, ho, ho.

Temerity

• 01:50:38 uh-huh

Rhysaene

• 01:50:38 Thank you.

Luma

• 01:50:39 - Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 01:50:40 Oh, thank you.

Luma

• 01:50:40 I’ll see you next time.
• 01:50:41 Which figures are her favorite?

Rhysaene

• 01:50:41 - Thank you.

Luma

• 01:50:44 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 01:50:44 It’s…
• 01:50:46 She didn’t actually say that, I have to say.
• 01:50:49 Like, I don’t think Hazel would say something like that.

Temerity

• 01:50:50 Thank you.

Luma

• 01:50:52 the

Hazel

• 01:50:52 But it’s something that I wish she would say.
• 01:50:55 I get it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:56 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 01:50:57 Let’s go around tiling each other what our least favorite fingers are.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:01 I still need a, is wrist rolling perception? If so, I need to.

Rhysaene

• 01:51:03 Oh, yeah, I can roll.
• 01:51:04 I can roll.
• 01:51:05 Yeah, I was…
• 01:51:07 Uh,
• 01:51:09 Huff.
• 01:51:10 Okay.
• 01:51:11 for the team.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:13 um,

Luma

• 01:51:14 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:15 with a 15
• 01:51:18 um,
• 01:51:21 With a 15 Rhys.
• 01:51:23 Um,
• 01:51:23 About every third book she moves to a different spot, you hear like the faintest of little clicking noises.
• 01:51:30 Like just that chick.

Rhysaene

• 01:51:30 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:32 um,
• 01:51:33 I list this with a 19.
• 01:51:36 You can tell
• 01:51:38 that that she
• 01:51:40 For the most part, she’s grabbing books at random and moving them.
• 01:51:43 But every so often, she moves more deliberately to pick a specific book.
• 01:51:49 Um,

Luma

• 01:51:50 Alex is trying to mask the code.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:52 Yes.
• 01:51:53 Um, she, uh,
• 01:51:55 You also with a 19, I feel like when she’s picking up the random books,
• 01:52:00 Nothing seems weird about that.
• 01:52:03 she’s just a person picking up a books.
• 01:52:06 But just by the way her arm moves
• 01:52:08 when she picks up like every third book,
• 01:52:10 the ones that click when she puts them down,
• 01:52:13 These are much heavier than like an average book should be.

Luma

• 01:52:17 Ooh.

Dungeon Master

• 01:52:18 Once she’s done this for like a minute or so, she’s moved about 15 books, you hear the same click you’ve been hearing and then the second click in a different spot.
• 01:52:29 And she walks over to a bookshelf and swings it open.
• 01:52:33 You can see stairs descending down and she gestures.
• 01:52:41 um,
• 01:52:42 this way.

Luma

• 01:52:44 Luma will grab her drink and slide a little…
• 01:52:50 like woven string cord over at the bartender and say,
• 01:52:54 that’s where your glasses.
• 01:52:55 And then she’ll run over to join the,

Dungeon Master

• 01:52:57 Oh, thank you.

Luma

• 01:52:57 Member.

Dungeon Master

• 01:52:58 Um,
• 01:52:59 She adjusts her glasses and looks at it and it’s very lovely.

Luma

• 01:53:04 It’s like one of those little cords you put around the back of your head to keep them from slipping down.

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:10 Ah, oh, oh, thank you.
• 01:53:12 And she starts, she strings it up and ties it,
• 01:53:15 just her glasses, um,
• 01:53:17 And they’d stay up.

Luma

• 01:53:19 Yay, now I have a way to track the bartender.

Temerity

• 01:53:19 He he he he he.

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:22 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:53:22 laughter

Luma

• 01:53:23 -

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:25 or bartender.

Luma

• 01:53:26 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:26 She didn’t do nothing. She’s just a lady.
• 01:53:29 Um,
• 01:53:30 You head down into the basement and risk, not risk, um,
• 01:53:34 Rhys is a player character.
• 01:53:36 Amber pulls the bookshelf closed behind you all.

Rhysaene

• 01:53:36 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:39 The basement is laid out like a bookstore. The shelves are lined with books.
• 01:53:44 There’s like a table in the middle with some open books and like a big old map on it.
• 01:53:49 I’m just kind of laid out.
• 01:53:52 She gestures, says, all right.
• 01:53:54 Have a seat if you want.
• 01:53:58 I’m going out on a limb.
• 01:54:00 because
• 01:54:01 Uh,
• 01:54:02 things have been stagnant for too long.
• 01:54:05 And when I met you in the maintenance tunnels…
• 01:54:09 I thought…
• 01:54:10 thought you might be someone who
• 01:54:14 could find things that other people couldn’t.
• 01:54:18 I am a member of a group of citizens who
• 01:54:23 have come to the conclusion that the
• 01:54:27 Synod of the Silver Flame is lying to us about a lot of things.
• 01:54:31 We’re not sure the extent to which they are lying.
• 01:54:36 or why.
• 01:54:37 but there are too many inconsistencies in official records.
• 01:54:41 There’s too much scrutiny over what should be mundane…
• 01:54:46 Um,
• 01:54:48 Procedures, especially with the vaultsmiths,
• 01:54:53 The…
• 01:54:54 the master coiner might be one of the most, like…
• 01:54:59 Not the master coiner, but the minting vaults where the master coiner works is probably the most secure spot in all of Argentum.
• 01:55:08 Um,
• 01:55:09 Why?
• 01:55:10 Why? Sorry.

Luma

• 01:55:10 No more.
• 01:55:12 No, go ahead.

Dungeon Master

• 01:55:13 No, go ahead.

Luma

• 01:55:14 you’re done. Let me look over at
• 01:55:16 Rhys and
• 01:55:18 Hazel.
• 01:55:19 Kind of like raised eyebrows, like, should we say anything?
• 01:55:24 At what extent to…

Temerity

• 01:55:24 Hey.

Luma

• 01:55:26 She’s looking for, like, permission, basically.

Hazel

• 01:55:27 - Okay.

Rhysaene

• 01:55:27 - Ah.

Hazel

• 01:55:32 - It’s good, yeah.
• 01:55:34 Um…

Rhysaene

• 01:55:34 Vris will actually, Vris will not, like, giving her that go ahead, I think.

Hazel

• 01:55:34 That’s it.
• 01:55:40 Yeah.
• 01:55:41 will kind of like… Hazel will…
• 01:55:44 Give the nod.
• 01:55:45 But then look to Temerity and be like…

Iva

• 01:55:48 I’ve been just staring at Temerity the whole time.

Rhysaene

• 01:55:49 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 01:55:50 I believe.
• 01:55:51 She’ll be like,

Temerity

• 01:55:51 laughs

Iva

• 01:55:51 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:55:53 I think it’s very clear that
• 01:55:55 all of us that
• 01:55:58 that everyone here are
• 01:56:03 are not entirely on good terms with the Synod.
• 01:56:06 And then she turns to, she’ll like look over to Temerity
• 01:56:11 and
• 01:56:13 say like, well,
• 01:56:16 this is your, this is your…

Temerity

• 01:56:19 laughs

Hazel

• 01:56:20 This is your.
• 01:56:21 chance to choose where you are. Do you want answers or do you not want them?

Temerity

• 01:56:26 Yeah.
• 01:56:27 Um,
• 01:56:29 Does…
• 01:56:30 Hazel say that to Temerity?

Hazel

• 01:56:32 Yes, she just straight up says like,

Temerity

• 01:56:33 Oh.

Hazel

• 01:56:36 I think this is…
• 01:56:38 This is…

Luma

• 01:56:40 Your turning point.

Hazel

• 01:56:40 like,

Temerity

• 01:56:41 laughs

Hazel

• 01:56:42 She’ll basically say, like, I understand that there are…
• 01:56:45 Let me, okay, let me think about what she’s gonna say.

Temerity

• 01:56:48 being

Hazel

• 01:56:49 Hazel.
• 01:56:50 will
• 01:56:51 give a slight nod to Luma before
• 01:56:55 immediately turning to Temerity.
• 01:56:59 And
• 01:57:03 uh,

Temerity

• 01:57:03 The community this whole time has just been kind of staring at Amber tight lipped, but not like…
• 01:57:08 Not…
• 01:57:09 Seemingly angry.
• 01:57:12 Or
• 01:57:13 Uh,
• 01:57:15 Like…
• 01:57:16 I don’t know. She’s not like…
• 01:57:19 “Oh, this person’s speaking blasphemy.” You know what I mean?

Hazel

• 01:57:22 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:57:22 Uh, because
• 01:57:24 They’ve obviously seen shit that does go directly against what the Synod has said.
• 01:57:29 And there’s a whole lot of questions going through their mind.
• 01:57:32 They’re more than happy to just like passively be around this and discover more.
• 01:57:39 uh,
• 01:57:40 But yeah, that’s where Temerity’s at right now.

Hazel

• 01:57:42 um,
• 01:57:44 Hazel
• 01:57:46 gives Temerity…
• 01:57:48 like a look over and she’s going to
• 01:57:52 Thank you.
• 01:57:52 very odd for her but she is going to put like a like a hand
• 01:57:57 on her on her on their shoulder.

Temerity

• 01:58:01 reach all the way up there.

Hazel

• 01:58:02 Um,
• 01:58:04 it.
• 01:58:05 Yeah, true. Not shoulder, arm. Like their forearm.
• 01:58:09 Be like, whoa, you’re a lot stronger than I thought you were.

Temerity

• 01:58:12 damn it’s like a tree trunk

Rhysaene

• 01:58:14 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:58:15 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 01:58:16 Yeah, what the hell?

Iva

• 01:58:16 Hey, are you looking to get drinks later?

Temerity

• 01:58:18 I don’t know.
• 01:58:19 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 01:58:19 Um,
• 01:58:20 And so,
• 01:58:22 Just say like,
• 01:58:24 Temerity.
• 01:58:25 laughs
• 01:58:26 new
• 01:58:30 you know what you’ve seen.
• 01:58:32 And I know what I’ve seen.
• 01:58:34 I…
• 01:58:37 laughs
• 01:58:39 There’s no doubt that what the synod says
• 01:58:42 doesn’t line up with what we’ve seen and
• 01:58:45 She’ll like grit her teeth when she says this and says, there’s no doubt that.
• 01:58:51 What I’ve been taught about.
• 01:58:54 uh,
• 01:58:55 The silver flame isn’t entirely factual as well.
• 01:58:59 Um,

Luma

• 01:58:59 Whoa.

Hazel

• 01:59:00 I think…

Temerity

• 01:59:01 Hee hee hee hee hee.

Hazel

• 01:59:03 It’s, I think it’s
• 01:59:04 I think it’s time for you to make this decision.
• 01:59:07 Are you?
• 01:59:08 laughs
• 01:59:09 I think
• 01:59:16 this.
• 01:59:16 If you won’t do it for us, then you should do it for…
• 01:59:22 Thank you.
• 01:59:22 then you should do it for your flame, for what your flame represents.

Temerity

• 01:59:30 -
• 01:59:32 Yeah.
• 01:59:33 I mean, I have to quit being a dragoon.
• 01:59:35 No.

Hazel

• 01:59:36 I hear it.

Iva

• 01:59:38 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:59:38 Do you say that? Oh, okay.

Rhysaene

• 01:59:38 Yes, yes, I thought I was doing it.

Temerity

• 01:59:39 No.

Iva

• 01:59:42 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:59:43 Bye.

Luma

• 01:59:46 -

Temerity

• 01:59:46 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:59:47 I…
• 01:59:49 I don’t know.
• 01:59:53 I don’t…
• 01:59:55 She’s kind of like, I’m realizing this, but this must be really weird for Amber out of nowhere.

Dungeon Master

• 02:00:00 Yeah, she’s just like…
• 02:00:02 laughs

Temerity

• 02:00:04 She doesn’t know who Temerity is or anything that’s going on.

Dungeon Master

• 02:00:04 - Thank you.
• 02:00:06 She’s just

Hazel

• 02:00:06 - Hazel just like waves an arm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:00:11 It’s like, oh man, wait a second, hold on.

Temerity

• 02:00:15 laughter

Hazel

• 02:00:15 Silence.
• 02:00:16 -
• 02:00:17 Hazel will just say silence.

Temerity

• 02:00:18 -
• 02:00:20 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:00:20 Uh-huh.

Temerity

• 02:00:21 laughing

Hazel

• 02:00:24 you,
• 02:00:25 laughs
• 02:00:27 sigh

Temerity

• 02:00:30 - The meridies just like
• 02:00:32 laughter
• 02:00:34 laughs
• 02:00:37 Yeah.
• 02:00:38 Temerity’s just…
• 02:00:42 Just nods at Hazel.
• 02:00:45 And
• 02:00:46 uh,
• 02:00:48 gestures for Amber to continue.
• 02:00:50 Like I’m,
• 02:00:51 sticking through this.
• 02:00:53 uh,

Luma

• 02:00:54 I was waiting patiently.

Temerity

• 02:00:56 Yeah.
• 02:00:57 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:00:58 uh,
• 02:01:00 Hazel just butters under her breath to, to, Temerity just as like, I’m not gonna, I won’t forget this.

Temerity

• 02:01:05 you

Luma

• 02:01:09 Let’s go ahead. Luma will dig into her backpack and she will bring out the full report.
• 02:01:14 and offer it to Amber.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:16 She’ll take it and start reading over it.
• 02:01:19 Um,
• 02:01:20 What kind of stuff’s in the full report that’s not in the other one?

Luma

• 02:01:24 Everything. It is a complete, like,
• 02:01:26 one-to-one documentation of
• 02:01:28 all of the things that they found
• 02:01:30 along the way in, like,
• 02:01:32 ridiculous detail.
• 02:01:34 the mural on the ceiling, the coins.
• 02:01:39 all of the journals she’s transcribed, whatever we found and saw.
• 02:01:44 drawings of the graffiti,
• 02:01:47 Um,
• 02:01:49 Pretty much everything that she could possibly cram into her notes from her collection, she put into the full report.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:55 She reads for a while.
• 02:01:58 Um,
• 02:02:00 And anyone who wants can give me an insight check.

Rhysaene

• 02:02:04 Yeah, I’ll do it.
• 02:02:06 I’ll do one.
• 02:02:07 Why not?

Temerity

• 02:02:07 Throw one out there.

Rhysaene

• 02:02:09 Woo!

Luma

• 02:02:09 13.

Rhysaene

• 02:02:12 17.

Temerity

• 02:02:17 You want us to put it in the chat?

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:19 Yeah, yeah.

Luma

• 02:02:27 it also includes um

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:27 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:02:29 their jobs down into the um
• 02:02:32 the Tarnar Hole.

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:33 to tarn our whole.

Temerity

• 02:02:34 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:36 You can tell that Amber is reading a lot of stuff she didn’t know about.
• 02:02:42 Um,
• 02:02:43 just like, she’s reading it with deep interest.
• 02:02:48 But everyone except for Hazel and Luma,
• 02:02:52 There’s a moment she’s reading where she goes from like,
• 02:02:56 this is interesting, this is good to know,
• 02:02:58 to, like, genuine, like,
• 02:03:00 Oh.
• 02:03:01 like surprise.
• 02:03:03 um,
• 02:03:04 Huh.

Iva

• 02:03:07 Hazel and Luma?

Dungeon Master

• 02:03:09 Hazel and Luma rolled under a 15 on their insights checks, so they do not they do not pick up on that.

Iva

• 02:03:13 I don’t know.
• 02:03:16 Okay.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:16 Um,

Iva

• 02:03:18 I thought only he’s going to learn that.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:20 I am.

Dungeon Master

• 02:03:20 No.

Luma

• 02:03:21 know.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:22 I guess I have a two-layered question then,

Iva

• 02:03:22 Mm-hmm.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:24 because would Luma have…
• 02:03:27 shared that report with us.
• 02:03:31 Uh,

Luma

• 02:03:31 - If anybody asks for it, yeah, absolutely.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:33 Yeah, I think Rhys sort of.
• 02:03:34 And then…
• 02:03:36 My further question from that was whereabouts in the report
• 02:03:40 couldn’t risk figures like
• 02:03:43 that she was like genuinely surprised.

Dungeon Master

• 02:03:43 You.
• 02:03:46 You can’t pin that down exactly even if you had the report memorized.

Rhysaene

• 02:03:51 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:03:52 But it’s definitely…
• 02:03:54 It’s definitely in the section about the residential vaults and not about the, um,
• 02:04:00 the like, the like forges.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:03 Hmm.
• 02:04:06 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:09 But that’s just like that would like you’d have to know how fast she was reading and like exactly have the whole thing memorized.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:16 But you can that it’s it’s late enough into what she’s reading that it can’t that there’s almost no way it’s the forges.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:16 Yeah.
• 02:04:24 Right, right, right.
• 02:04:26 Yeah, sorry if that was too…
• 02:04:28 Much to ask.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:28 No, it’s fine to ask. It’s absolutely fine to ask.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:30 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:32 um,
• 02:04:34 She reads through it, gets done, and says, well,
• 02:04:39 I was right that you’re the right person for the job.
• 02:04:41 This is…
• 02:04:45 This is a lot of information.
• 02:04:47 um,

Luma

• 02:04:49 Yeah, that’s kind of my thing.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:52 uh
• 02:04:54 Nothing really…
• 02:04:58 nothing really definitive proof of any like specific lies, but it definitely cements
• 02:05:04 a lot of what we suspected
• 02:05:06 the, the, um,
• 02:05:09 The residential warrens were sealed much more…
• 02:05:16 They were sealed about as many years ago as the sign-on says, but…
• 02:05:25 much
• 02:05:27 But contain things that have to be pre-Starfall.

Luma

• 02:05:35 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:05:40 I, uh,
• 02:05:41 Thanks for sharing this with me, genuinely.
• 02:05:44 Would you be alright if I made a copy of this?

Luma

• 02:05:48 Yeah, sure.

Dungeon Master

• 02:05:50 She pulls some paper that’s just kind of sitting on the table and starts taking notes.
• 02:05:56 um,

Luma

• 02:06:00 Just don’t get caught with it and don’t tell anybody that it’s mine.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:03 I wouldn’t do that, Luma.

Luma

• 02:06:06 Yeah, like right in your own words.

Hazel

• 02:06:08 laughter

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:09 All right.

Temerity

• 02:06:09 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:09 I don’t know.

Luma

• 02:06:10 Are you kidding?

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:12 Oh, write it in my own words.

Iva

• 02:06:12 - -

Rhysaene

• 02:06:12 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:06:12 I’m sorry.

Hazel

• 02:06:14 APA format, double-spaced.

Temerity

• 02:06:14 Yeah, they got technical.

Luma

• 02:06:15 Yes.

Temerity

• 02:06:17 Do not cite your sources.

Luma

• 02:06:17 Thanks.
• 02:06:17 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:06:18 I want Harvard references.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:21 This is a good thing.

Luma

• 02:06:21 What?

Rhysaene

• 02:06:21 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:06:21 You’re welcome.

Luma

• 02:06:24 one key like difference of the,
• 02:06:27 the full report and the report she submitted as they are formatted differently.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:32 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 02:06:32 They look nothing alike.
• 02:06:36 It’s not a whole lot of defense, but at the very least, if this lady gets fucking caught with a copy of Luma’s report, it’s not going to look the same.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:36 Right.
• 02:06:38 Yeah.
• 02:06:43 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:06:43 Uh,

Luma

• 02:06:43 might give her one degree of deniability.
• 02:06:45 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:49 She writes it down and she does, does as requested and, and, and,
• 02:06:52 does not just copy it word for word. She organizes it very differently.
• 02:06:59 Um,
• 02:07:00 This is good information.

Luma

• 02:07:03 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:07:11 I…
• 02:07:13 Appreciate you all sharing this with me.
• 02:07:16 at home.
• 02:07:17 And in turn, I will go out on a limb and say that
• 02:07:21 um,
• 02:07:23 The.
• 02:07:26 that our doors open to you.
• 02:07:29 Um,
• 02:07:31 You’re not obligated to us, of course.
• 02:07:33 You do whatever you want to do, but if you ever find anything like this…
• 02:07:38 Any secrets, anything like that, you can bring them to us.
• 02:07:41 and we’ll share anything we know with you.
• 02:07:44 um,
• 02:07:46 as for who we are,
• 02:07:49 we are largely
• 02:07:52 Archivists.
• 02:07:54 like
• 02:07:57 like, uh,
• 02:07:58 that work in the Silver Archives, that work in
• 02:08:01 Bureau of Infrastructure, archivists who’ve seen too many inconsistencies and
• 02:08:08 Want to know why? Want to know why?
• 02:08:10 these records are incorrect and correcting them costs people their jobs.
• 02:08:16 or worse.
• 02:08:18 All right.
• 02:08:19 Some of us have
• 02:08:20 taken to the name The Unbound.
• 02:08:25 but I wouldn’t pass that around too much if I were you.

Hazel

• 02:08:30 I don’t have many friends.

Luma

• 02:08:36 The irony of the name is really funny to me.

Temerity

• 02:08:39 He he he.

Dungeon Master

• 02:08:40 Yeah, it’s a…
• 02:08:42 It’s a book thing.
• 02:08:43 It’s very…
• 02:08:44 The very book themed around here.

Luma

• 02:08:47 Oh, it’s decidedly anti-book. You gotta bind the book.

Dungeon Master

• 02:08:47 not.
• 02:08:50 Well, if the book only contains lies, what else are you going to do?

Luma

• 02:08:56 Red pen.

Dungeon Master

• 02:08:57 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:08:58 -

Temerity

• 02:08:58 laughs

Luma

• 02:09:00 Yes, yes.

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:01 Fair enough.

Luma

• 02:09:02 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:02 Uhm,

Luma

• 02:09:03 Um,
• 02:09:04 Do you know anything about the Elder Exodus?

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:11 Yes.
• 02:09:14 I know
• 02:09:16 that
• 02:09:20 one second.

Temerity

• 02:09:21 Yeah.
• 02:09:23 - Got me on the edge of the seat.

Luma

• 02:09:25 Mm-hmm.

Rhysaene

• 02:09:25 Yeah, I’m fucking, I’m watching with my big old eyes.

Luma

• 02:09:29 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:09:29 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 02:09:31 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:32 I know that
• 02:09:35 Um,
• 02:09:38 a little

Iva

• 02:09:39 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:42 a little over 150 years ago.
• 02:09:46 the last of the dwarves living in the undercity of Argentum were
• 02:09:50 strongly encouraged to leave to live on the surface.
• 02:09:55 Um,
• 02:09:56 a decision that was met with a lot of resistance.
• 02:10:00 And…
• 02:10:02 that tension ultimately mounted into the Elder Exodus.
• 02:10:07 That specific incident was not the only such case.
• 02:10:10 There were many cases where…
• 02:10:13 The Synod was finding tension with various communities of elves or dwarves who…
• 02:10:20 Um,
• 02:10:22 were resistant to…
• 02:10:25 Um,
• 02:10:26 following the Synod’s directives or teachings,
• 02:10:29 Um.
• 02:10:31 I know that, uh,
• 02:10:32 The archivist Rurik Hulduro called the Exodus an entirely voluntary act of arrogance.
• 02:10:41 Um,

Luma

• 02:10:43 Yeah, who has that guy? I want to find him.

Dungeon Master

• 02:10:46 Hulduro is, she kind of like,
• 02:10:49 She kind of groans when you say that.
• 02:10:51 And she says, “Rurik Hulduro is a senior archivist
• 02:10:56 Technically,
• 02:10:58 connected to the Silver Archives, though he’s more of an independent historian, he is the Synod’s chief historical expert.
• 02:11:07 Um,
• 02:11:08 He is the one who gets to write what counts as official history.

Luma

• 02:11:14 Yeah, he sucks at it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:16 I would not disagree with you in that regard.
• 02:11:20 Um,

Luma

• 02:11:20 Okay, that’s good. All right, I can trust you people.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:25 He is also my great uncle.

Luma

• 02:11:31 Oh.
• 02:11:32 My condolences.

Hazel

• 02:11:33 laughs

Temerity

• 02:11:34 My condolences.

Rhysaene

• 02:11:34 -

Iva

• 02:11:35 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:36 Um,
• 02:11:37 If.

Iva

• 02:11:37 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:38 If any of you would like, you may give me a history check.

Luma

• 02:11:42 How old does that make that guy?

Iva

• 02:11:43 Oh, sure.

Rhysaene

• 02:11:43 Okay, one more.

Luma

• 02:11:44 Hold on.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:45 Hulduro, he’s…
• 02:11:46 He’s pretty old.

Luma

• 02:11:49 great uncle though? Holy shit.

Rhysaene

• 02:11:49 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:49 Presumably.
• 02:11:50 I might be wrong about that. He might just be an uncle. I need to do what you did and make an actual family tree instead of just going off of notes.

Luma

• 02:11:53 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 02:11:58 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:11:59 laughter

Temerity

• 02:11:59 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 02:12:01 Uh…

Temerity

• 02:12:01 If it’s grandpa’s brother, that’s a great uncle.

Rhysaene

• 02:12:02 uh

Temerity

• 02:12:04 I think.

Rhysaene

• 02:12:04 And.

Luma

• 02:12:04 Test check.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:05 It would…
• 02:12:06 Be her.
• 02:12:09 I guess he’s her uncle.
• 02:12:11 He’s her mom’s half brother.

Temerity

• 02:12:13 Oh.

Luma

• 02:12:14 Then yeah, uncle.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:16 Uncle.

Rhysaene

• 02:12:16 Mmh.

Luma

• 02:12:16 Until…
• 02:12:17 - One’s removed, I think?
• 02:12:19 Uh…

Temerity

• 02:12:20 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:12:20 Bye.

Iva

• 02:12:21 and its cousin wants to move.

Luma

• 02:12:21 12.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:27 This is not like a, this is a more like a personal, like, I’m just using history as the best stand-in for like the recall.
• 02:12:34 This is not like a historical knowledge check.

Hazel

• 02:12:35 And he…

Temerity

• 02:12:35 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:12:38 as in, okay.
• 02:12:40 you

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:41 as in it’s an intelligence check for memory,

Hazel

• 02:12:42 I’m.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:43 but if you’re someone who’s,
• 02:12:45 Accustomed to accumulating historical knowledge, you also are proficient.

Hazel

• 02:12:50 Gotcha.
• 02:12:52 This motherfucker is…

Luma

• 02:12:52 I don’t remember.

Hazel

• 02:12:54 me.
• 02:12:56 Yeah, I’ll roll with the idea that it’s just a remember check.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:00 Yeah, it’s just a remember check.
• 02:13:05 15
• 02:13:06 barely gets it.
• 02:13:08 And it’s information

Hazel

• 02:13:09 You’re welcome, guys.
• 02:13:09 Sorry.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:10 It is information you technically have anyway.

Temerity

• 02:13:11 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:15 Something’s been kind of like eating at you,
• 02:13:17 bothering you a little perhaps.
• 02:13:18 Um,
• 02:13:19 When Amber introduced herself, she introduced herself as Amber Deepdraft.
• 02:13:24 Deepdraft is a name you’ve heard before or specifically

Luma

• 02:13:24 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:28 have read.
• 02:13:29 uh,

Hazel

• 02:13:30 Yes.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:30 a little girl, presumably a young, a very young dwarven girl, had written a note.

Hazel

• 02:13:37 the home of Winkie.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:38 about having to.
• 02:13:40 - When you do, exactly.
• 02:13:43 Oh.
• 02:13:44 Riswynn deep draft.
• 02:13:46 was the name, as you had deduced.

Hazel

• 02:13:46 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:49 uh,
• 02:13:50 several sessions ago.

Hazel

• 02:13:53 Hazel…
• 02:13:54 like,
• 02:13:55 squints at
• 02:13:57 Amber.
• 02:13:59 And will…
• 02:14:04 She’ll just sigh, I guess, and she’ll just be like, come out with it then.
• 02:14:08 Amber is not your name.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:12 um,
• 02:14:13 Yes, it is.

Iva

• 02:14:14 laughing

Luma

• 02:14:14 laughs

Temerity

• 02:14:15 laughing

Iva

• 02:14:17 laughter

Temerity

• 02:14:17 Ha ha ha.
• 02:14:19 - Ha ha ha.

Hazel

• 02:14:19 Ah, fuck, it is.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:21 And…
• 02:14:22 What an odd thing to say now, of all times.
• 02:14:25 Yes, Amber’s my…

Hazel

• 02:14:26 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:27 I suppose I should be using a false name for these sorts of clandestine things, but as Luma could attest…
• 02:14:36 It’s a work in progress.

Hazel

• 02:14:38 Hazel pauses and goes,

Luma

• 02:14:38 Using a second is not on the new way.

Hazel

• 02:14:41 Oh, right.
• 02:14:42 Anyways, um,
• 02:14:45 and, uh,
• 02:14:46 Yes.
• 02:14:50 I know Deepdraft. We saw that in the, in the, in the cave.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:54 Yes, you mentioned it in, or Luma mentioned it in her report.
• 02:14:59 um,
• 02:15:01 All right.
• 02:15:01 Mm-hmm.
• 02:15:03 the note you talk about in the report?

Iva

• 02:15:03 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:15:05 kind of like,

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:06 Sorry.

Hazel

• 02:15:07 No, it’s okay. She’ll just like
• 02:15:08 So she’ll like lean over to whoever’s closest to her and goes, how long do dwarves live again?

Temerity

• 02:15:14 - Heh.
• 02:15:16 laughing
• 02:15:18 It’s very shrugs.

Iva

• 02:15:20 .
• 02:15:21 I’m shrubs.

Hazel

• 02:15:23 Huh.

Luma

• 02:15:24 Like two or 300 years.

Hazel

• 02:15:27 Oh.
• 02:15:31 Cool.
• 02:15:33 Not as long as us.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:35 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:15:36 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:38 Ciao.

Rhysaene

• 02:15:39 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:15:40 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:15:41 Thank you.

Luma

• 02:15:45 Yeah, well, you could understand why it’d be kind of a problem if you’re trying to change history and everybody can freaking remember it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:51 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:15:52 shit.
• 02:15:52 She doesn’t say freaking.
• 02:15:53 She just remembered it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:54 No.

Hazel

• 02:15:55 Okay, sure, sure.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:55 But,

Iva

• 02:15:55 I like the idea that drunk Luma does say friggin’ that’s the hardest curse Luma knows.

Luma

• 02:15:57 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:59 Um,

Luma

• 02:15:59 We haven’t been drinking yet.
• 02:16:01 We haven’t done it yet.

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:03 Amber nods.

Iva

• 02:16:03 -

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:04 and says,
• 02:16:05 There’s a strong suspicion that the
• 02:16:08 the chief onus of the Elder Exodus was that philosophy exactly.
• 02:16:14 that it’s very hard to lie about history if there is anyone around who can
• 02:16:18 remember it.
• 02:16:21 Um,
• 02:16:22 You mentioned you knew the name Deepdraft.
• 02:16:26 Luma’s report.
• 02:16:28 explains why that was.
• 02:16:30 You found a note written by my mother when she was a child.
• 02:16:36 you know, if

Luma

• 02:16:36 Did your mom go into the Exodus too?

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:39 No, no, she was, um…
• 02:16:42 She was…
• 02:16:44 very young when the exodus happened.
• 02:16:46 I think she would have been
• 02:16:50 Let me do math
• 02:16:55 Let’s see.

Luma

• 02:16:55 Imagine not having a family tree for your NPCs, couldn’t it be me?

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:59 I’d still have to do the math.

Temerity

• 02:16:59 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 02:17:00 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:00 uh,
• 02:17:01 Let’s see.
• 02:17:02 She’s
• 02:17:04 She would have been nine.
• 02:17:07 when the final thrust of the Elder Exodus had occurred.

Luma

• 02:17:13 Oh yeah, that’s kind of around the age that my grandpa is.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:13 that.

Luma

• 02:17:16 Was.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:18 Uh,
• 02:17:19 Yeah, she’s very…
• 02:17:21 She’s very close in age to…
• 02:17:24 She’s only like,
• 02:17:26 like eight years younger than Mathas, Riswynn.
• 02:17:33 Uh,

Luma

• 02:17:33 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:34 So yeah, pretty close.
• 02:17:35 She nods and says,
• 02:17:38 Yeah, it’s like that for a lot of us, dwarves, elves.
• 02:17:41 Um,
• 02:17:42 people left
• 02:17:45 and Rurik Hulduro
• 02:17:48 telling people, uh,
• 02:17:50 in the official history books that they did it because they were arrogant.
• 02:17:54 They did it because they were driven off.
• 02:17:56 via whatever means the Synod had at their disposal.

Luma

• 02:18:02 Yeah, my great grandfather’s out there.
• 02:18:04 I’m going to go find him.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:06 Oh.
• 02:18:07 um,
• 02:18:08 I hope you do.
• 02:18:10 I hope you find him.
• 02:18:12 I don’t know.
• 02:18:15 I, uh,
• 02:18:18 I’ve never heard of anyone…
• 02:18:22 anyone surviving the
• 02:18:24 the sorrow, but
• 02:18:25 I hope he’s out there.

Luma

• 02:18:29 All enough to write a letter.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:31 um,
• 02:18:33 Oh.

Hazel

• 02:18:33 - Yeah.

Iva

• 02:18:34 -

Hazel

• 02:18:35 Hazel’s like, I know someone who’s survived the sorrow.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:35 Oh!

Hazel

• 02:18:38 Like…

Luma

• 02:18:40 If there’s anybody, that’s my great-grandfather.

Hazel

• 02:18:41 Yes.

Luma

• 02:18:42 He used to beat up the sorrow for fun.

Rhysaene

• 02:18:43 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:45 my uh

Hazel

• 02:18:46 a noble soul.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:48 My, uh,
• 02:18:51 My uncle. I never met him, obviously. Not Rurik. He would be Rurik’s brother.
• 02:18:57 my mom’s other half-brother.
• 02:18:59 He left during the Exodus
• 02:19:02 Um,
• 02:19:03 My mom used to say that…
• 02:19:08 that
• 02:19:09 that Tordek blamed Rurik.
• 02:19:13 for what was happening to Argentum.
• 02:19:17 and then Tordek left
• 02:19:19 during the Exodus.

Luma

• 02:19:23 Well,
• 02:19:24 If I see him, I’ll say hi for you.

Hazel

• 02:19:26 That’s it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:19:27 Bye.
• 02:19:28 I am
• 02:19:31 I would appreciate that.
• 02:19:34 That’s very kind of you.
• 02:19:43 But, um,
• 02:19:44 There’s obviously specific inconsistencies.
• 02:19:51 that have cropped up but but but i i genuinely that’s most of the cards on the table
• 02:19:58 we aren’t here because we know what the truth is.
• 02:20:01 We’re here because we want to find it.

Temerity

• 02:20:04 - Thank you.

Luma

• 02:20:04 Yeah.
• 02:20:07 I guess I’m here too now.

Dungeon Master

• 02:20:09 Wow.
• 02:20:11 I’m genuinely and truly for the last time, but genuinely sorry for how you ended up here.
• 02:20:17 But we couldn’t have asked for better.
• 02:20:21 Your report is
• 02:20:24 More than I had expected you to find.
• 02:20:27 The mural in particular was very interesting to read about.
• 02:20:33 And it’s more,

Hazel

• 02:20:33 Are you going to pay my friend for the inconvenience?

Dungeon Master

• 02:20:37 We don’t have a lot of funds, but I suppose I can…
• 02:20:42 I can I can dig up a
• 02:20:46 something to
• 02:20:48 to
• 02:20:49 to compensate to

Luma

• 02:20:52 Hey, if I survive the interview the next week or something, maybe you can get me a job at the Valdsmiths.

Rhysaene

• 02:20:56 Okay.
• 02:20:58 Yeah, I was going to say…

Temerity

• 02:20:58 laughs

Hazel

• 02:20:58 anything?

Rhysaene

• 02:21:02 Probably best you make it right.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:05 Look.
• 02:21:06 I’ll do the best I can.
• 02:21:08 I…

Hazel

• 02:21:09 Yes, you will.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:09 I’m,

Hazel

• 02:21:10 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:11 She kind of like looks at all of you

Iva

• 02:21:11 laughing

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:13 and says,
• 02:21:15 Thank you.
• 02:21:16 My guilt…
• 02:21:18 my guilt will drive me to do what I can,
• 02:21:20 but you can’t threaten me into doing more.
• 02:21:23 If I could do more, I would do it.

Hazel

• 02:21:24 - What?
• 02:21:26 - Whoa, whoa, whoa, we’re not threatening you lady.
• 02:21:28 No, again, I mean, no, we’re not.
• 02:21:31 Thank you.
• 02:21:33 You must…

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:33 It will be.

Hazel

• 02:21:34 You must see what’s right.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:34 It will be…
• 02:21:36 a miracle of the dead dragon god Bahamut if I can keep my job at the vaultsmas
• 02:21:43 If I tried to hire someone who was
• 02:21:45 fired for being involved in illicit
• 02:21:49 Um,
• 02:21:50 An unauthorized…
• 02:21:55 surveying
• 02:21:57 that would immediately…
• 02:21:59 draw all that suspicion back onto me, as well as make it look like Luma was more involved than it
• 02:22:07 currently appears. Currently,
• 02:22:09 My best understanding from the questions I’ve been asked and others who I work with have been asked
• 02:22:15 It is believed that only the vaultsmiths are…
• 02:22:19 that someone at the vaultsmus is compromised
• 02:22:21 and that the…
• 02:22:23 Um,
• 02:22:24 that Luma’s involvement was an unfortunate, uh,
• 02:22:30 byproduct of circumstance.
• 02:22:32 No one currently, as far as I know, thinks Luma
• 02:22:35 was up to anything.
• 02:22:38 And
• 02:22:39 That’s the reason you lost your job instead of being hauled off into a cell, um,
• 02:22:47 in the
• 02:22:49 Order of the Lantern Barracks or Candlehold.

Luma

• 02:22:52 Yeah, I’d rather not.
• 02:22:55 Not do that.

Dungeon Master

• 02:22:57 So I will look into our funds. We sometimes pay, uh,
• 02:23:01 we pay for information
• 02:23:04 We pay couriers to
• 02:23:07 handle sensitive materials discreetly,
• 02:23:11 Some of those funds could,
• 02:23:13 could reasonably be allocated as a…
• 02:23:19 payment for this information.
• 02:23:21 um,
• 02:23:22 Once I’ve conferred with my
• 02:23:25 associates.
• 02:23:29 uh,

Luma

• 02:23:33 Yeah. Okay.
• 02:23:34 That’s fine.

Dungeon Master

• 02:23:35 But…
• 02:23:38 and it doesn’t.
• 02:23:40 The more we know, the better, the more we know,
• 02:23:43 better we can plan our next steps.
• 02:23:46 figure out just how deep into the crust of Argentum these conspiracies are buried.
• 02:23:54 Um,

Luma

• 02:23:55 really deep.
• 02:23:56 like a highway deep.
• 02:23:57 There’s a big old road deep.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:00 Yes, your report mentioned that
• 02:24:05 very interesting. The report said it was
• 02:24:10 Yeah.
• 02:24:11 miles below
• 02:24:12 the city.

Luma

• 02:24:14 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:15 I would love to know more about that.

Iva

• 02:24:15 Oh, that’s the hate aura.

Hazel

• 02:24:15 Indeed.

Luma

• 02:24:15 Through the head…
• 02:24:17 Yeah, through the hate aura.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:18 Yeah, I don’t know anything about this hate aura.
• 02:24:20 That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of anything like that.

Luma

• 02:24:24 That’s very, very mean.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:27 Well, that is.

Hazel

• 02:24:27 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:24:27 We’re going to find a Turnstone and then we’re going to go into the highway.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:31 Shit, her…
• 02:24:32 Her expression,

Hazel

• 02:24:33 we are.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:34 Her expression kind of like turns from like,

Luma

• 02:24:34 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:24:35 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:37 Like this kind of like apologetic kind of like trying to see what like if trying to see if you could find common ground all while being…
• 02:24:47 genuinely sorry she got you fired from that to like almost like a scowl and a
• 02:24:53 I don’t know that working with the Tarnar Syndicate is a good idea.

Luma

• 02:24:57 I didn’t say I was going to work for the Tarnar Syndicate.
• 02:24:59 I was just going to get a hold of a Turnstone.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:01 Well,

Luma

• 02:25:02 I know where one is.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:03 Oh.

Rhysaene

• 02:25:04 Can I insight check that?
• 02:25:06 phrase specifically, is she saying that from experience or from like a lack of experience?

Iva

• 02:25:11 Yeah, I would like to also insight check that.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:12 When she’s saying, I don’t think you should get involved with the Tarnar Syndicate.

Rhysaene

• 02:25:16 Yeah, like when she says, like, oh, I wouldn’t get involved with them, like, I’m going to insert that to see, like…

Iva

• 02:25:16 There.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:17 Yeah.
• 02:25:20 Oh, okay.
• 02:25:22 You can roll.

Rhysaene

• 02:25:22 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:23 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:25:24 Yay!
• 02:25:26 Okay.

Luma

• 02:25:26 This is the second time now this lady has told Luma to not get involved in this action again.

Rhysaene

• 02:25:30 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 02:25:30 Hehehehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:31 She told you day zero, don’t get involved with the Tarnar Syndicate.

Luma

• 02:25:33 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:25:35 laughs

Luma

• 02:25:36 And she bit in.

Iva

• 02:25:36 likely

Luma

• 02:25:37 The Tarnar Syndicate got involved with her!

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:39 Thank you.

Temerity

• 02:25:39 laughs

Iva

• 02:25:40 Yeah! Yeah!

Luma

• 02:25:42 The Tarnar’s going to get literally crashed into her.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:45 So a five and a six, yeah, there’s just no read.
• 02:25:51 um,
• 02:25:52 you know, read on that particular
• 02:25:54 line
• 02:25:57 Um,
• 02:26:01 Well,
• 02:26:04 Actually.
• 02:26:06 Yeah, she wouldn’t.
• 02:26:09 I don’t think she’d know what that is.
• 02:26:10 She’d say, what’s a turnstone?

Luma

• 02:26:14 Oh, that’s the thing that made the secret door that I found.

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:16 Oh.
• 02:26:18 Oh!
• 02:26:20 It’s a device.
• 02:26:22 I thought for sure they were using some kind of
• 02:26:25 Forbidden magic.

Luma

• 02:26:27 Well, yeah.
• 02:26:28 It’s a device that makes for a bit of magic.
• 02:26:32 But I’m not doing the forbidden magic, the device is.
• 02:26:34 So if we get in trouble, they can arrest the device.

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:36 All right, well.
• 02:26:38 You’ll have to take that logic up with the solicitor.
• 02:26:41 I’m not sure it’ll hold up in court, but I respect the attempt.

Luma

• 02:26:46 Yeah, that’s why I don’t plan on getting caught.

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:48 That’s a much better plan.

Luma

• 02:26:50 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:51 Um,
• 02:26:54 there’s a
• 02:26:55 There’s a door down there.
• 02:26:57 That’s interesting.
• 02:26:59 But, um,
• 02:27:00 I don’t know anything about any of that.
• 02:27:04 I’m I.
• 02:27:08 There’s a lot buried under the city.
• 02:27:09 That’s what I know.
• 02:27:10 and you’ve surfaced
• 02:27:12 Oh, as
• 02:27:14 as much as anyone could hope to already.
• 02:27:20 But like I said earlier, our door is open to you as long as you’re interested in learning more.
• 02:27:27 Speaking of which,

Luma

• 02:27:27 Assuming that.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:28 Sorry.

Luma

• 02:27:29 Assuming that I don’t get hauled off after this interrogation, I’ll probably be back.
• 02:27:34 At least for the drinks.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:34 No.

Luma

• 02:27:35 Because I really like this place. It smells nice.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:38 I like it too.

Temerity

• 02:27:39 - He he he.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:40 Um,
• 02:27:41 Speaking of which,
• 02:27:43 One of you will need to commit this to memory. It’s better you don’t write it down.
• 02:27:50 um,
• 02:27:51 the current

Luma

• 02:27:53 Shit, I’m really sorry. I need to be right back.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:53 Sorry.
• 02:27:55 Okay, we’ll wait.

Luma

• 02:27:55 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:56 Well, this is a good chance for a short break for anyone who needs it then.

Temerity

• 02:28:00 Okay, I might get a drink real fast.
• 02:28:02 I want to say…

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:02 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:28:05 I’m,
• 02:28:05 Temerity wants to ask this person, even if they don’t have information about it, really, about…
• 02:28:12 what happens whenever

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:14 Uh-huh.

Temerity

• 02:28:14 Mages are purified.

Rhysaene

• 02:28:16 Yeah, that was something…

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:16 You can.
• 02:28:18 You can certainly ask when we reconvene.
• 02:28:21 You can ask anything you want.

Temerity

• 02:28:21 Yeah.
• 02:28:22 Yeah.
• 02:28:23 Yeah, Temerity’s trying to wait for the opportunity, but I’m going to be right back.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 02:28:27 Same.

Hazel

• 02:28:27 I have a question.
• 02:28:29 Oh, wait.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:29 Nope.

Hazel

• 02:28:29 your beer being.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:31 Yeah, but what’s your question?

Hazel

• 02:28:31 um,
• 02:28:33 Is PVP allowed if both parties, like,
• 02:28:37 agree to it.

Iva

• 02:28:40 Ha ha ha ha.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:40 Yes.

Hazel

• 02:28:42 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:42 I’m not.
• 02:28:43 I’m not entirely sure PvP…
• 02:28:45 is disallowed if both parties don’t agree to it.

Iva

• 02:28:46 Is that?
• 02:28:48 -

Hazel

• 02:28:49 Well, yeah, I mean, that’s fair.
• 02:28:51 I’m just, I guess I’m asking like in general,
• 02:28:57 And also, this might not actually…

Iva

• 02:28:57 when Temerity betrays us.

Hazel

• 02:28:59 No, this might not actually happen, but I think Hazel’s at the point now where she wants to fight Temerity.
• 02:29:05 um,
• 02:29:08 I’m like, I feel like at this point, Hazel’s like so…
• 02:29:11 like,
• 02:29:15 The specific thing that Hazel’s thinking about is the fact that her like
• 02:29:19 Her moon fire is like a cold silver flame and Temerity’s flame is like a silver flame.
• 02:29:26 And so now she’s like,
• 02:29:28 I want to fight you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:30 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:29:31 not in like a fight to the death, but just like a friendly star.

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:35 Yeah, I will say they do have somewhat different vibes.

Hazel

• 02:29:40 Yeah, no, absolutely.

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:41 Hazel’s is more like a cold, like moonlight, whereas Temerity is almost more like white than silver.

Hazel

• 02:29:51 Yeah.
• 02:29:52 No, I stayed here with that.

Temerity

• 02:29:52 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:55 Like, it’s very similar. It’s both like,

Hazel

• 02:29:55 the way that

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:57 It’s both like flames you could easily call silver.
• 02:30:01 Just hazels and temerides are specifically different.
• 02:30:04 Temerity is a little warmer in the light, in the like…

Hazel

• 02:30:04 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:30:08 temperature of the light it gives off.

Hazel

• 02:30:11 The way that Hazel sees it,
• 02:30:14 She sees it in two ways. First off, she thinks dragoon training is bullshit because she doesn’t understand anything about it.
• 02:30:19 And she’s like, if you want to fight Sauru, if you want to fight the Sauru, you need to fight someone who, like,
• 02:30:24 You need to train your abilities against someone who is comparative to your strength, and she doesn’t know any of these trained dragoons or whatever.
• 02:30:33 Um,

Temerity

• 02:30:33 uh

Hazel

• 02:30:35 And so she’s like, if you really want to fight the Sorrow,
• 02:30:38 Fight me.
• 02:30:39 We’ll figure this out.

Dungeon Master

• 02:30:40 Texas?

Hazel

• 02:30:41 Also, she’s like, you know,

Temerity

• 02:30:41 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:30:46 uh, uh,
• 02:30:49 flames fucking uh
• 02:30:54 Maybe the clash of these flames can create something greater, you know?
• 02:31:00 she no longer is able to, like, deny the idea that the Silver Flame, like, is not just, like, an objective, like,
• 02:31:08 incredibly powerful thing. So if Temerity is that,
• 02:31:12 She’s basically like an insanely
• 02:31:14 large magical conduit.

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:17 Uh-huh.
• 02:31:20 I’ll be.

Iva

• 02:31:20 Would you think of what

Hazel

• 02:31:20 So Hazel was going to ask Temerity if they could go off into the fucking forest, and Hazel would turn into a bear and beat the shit out of her and get the beat.

Iva

• 02:31:28 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:31:28 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:28 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:31:29 It should be that perfect as well.

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:30 I’m going to be right back. Sorry.

Temerity

• 02:31:32 All right.

Hazel

• 02:31:32 No, you’re good.

Temerity

• 02:31:35 Temerity would be down for that.

Hazel

• 02:31:35 Are you.
• 02:31:37 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:31:38 To Merity, uh…

Rhysaene

• 02:31:38 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:31:38 What?

Temerity

• 02:31:40 A small part of Temerity,
• 02:31:43 despite being put off with magic and everything like that
• 02:31:46 and being put off with it,
• 02:31:46 there is a very small part of Temerity that is like,
• 02:31:50 Just saw this huge animal and is like, fuck, I want to wrestle that.

Hazel

• 02:31:55 It was just like ever…

Rhysaene

• 02:31:56 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:31:58 Ever since the Hazel has done that, she’s just like, man,
• 02:32:04 what, like, she wants to…
• 02:32:06 She wants to basically stoke Temerity and see if Temerity can stoke her.
• 02:32:11 Okay.
• 02:32:12 She wants to see if a trial of strength could bring out each other’s greatness.

Temerity

• 02:32:13 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:32:20 Thanks.
• 02:32:22 Can I ask, actually, in that same vein, what Hazel thinks of everyone else’s powers and stuff?

Temerity

• 02:32:22 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 02:32:30 I’m back.

Hazel

• 02:32:30 Oh yeah.
• 02:32:33 So,
• 02:32:33 When it comes to everything,
• 02:32:36 Unfortunately, because…
• 02:32:39 a lot of Iva’s like ability is mostly mundane.
• 02:32:44 Iva is the lowest on the totem pole, but it is still like held with a lot of respect.
• 02:32:51 Hazel sees that Iva has like
• 02:32:55 the sauce, especially as a…
• 02:33:00 uh,
• 02:33:00 Especially as like,
• 02:33:02 someone who like
• 02:33:06 understands how to act in like split second moments with with her maneuvers right like

Iva

• 02:33:12 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:33:14 uh,

Iva

• 02:33:15 It’s crazier because she’s just a normal person fighting against…
• 02:33:20 Not normal things.

Hazel

• 02:33:21 Yeah, she’s a normal person, but it does seem that, like,
• 02:33:25 She’s a little…
• 02:33:27 Basically, the way that Hazel sees Iva…
• 02:33:30 is like, okay, she’s a little ditzy when
• 02:33:34 It’s when when like danger is not immediate.
• 02:33:37 But the moment that shit goes down,
• 02:33:40 Iva locks the fuck in
• 02:33:42 and like she gives

Iva

• 02:33:42 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 02:33:42 He he he he he he.

Hazel

• 02:33:43 orders. She figures
• 02:33:45 out weak points. She
• 02:33:47 tells you when to strike
• 02:33:49 and when she tells you that
• 02:33:52 you know, you’re hitting people for big shit.
• 02:33:54 off your turn, which in this case would just be like in the spur of the moment.

Temerity

• 02:33:59 uh,

Hazel

• 02:34:00 So like,
• 02:34:01 Hazel has a lot of respect to Iva as a
• 02:34:05 “tactician.”

Iva

• 02:34:05 Spider.
• 02:34:06 I’m sorry.

Hazel

• 02:34:06 and a fighter.
• 02:34:08 But she doesn’t think that that tactician mindset really extends past fighting for your life.
• 02:34:14 It’s very instinctive, I guess, is the way that she thinks of
• 02:34:19 of her.
• 02:34:20 which I feel is not a incorrect reading, but I don’t know.

Luma

• 02:34:22 Thank you.

Iva

• 02:34:23 It is pretty dead on.

Luma

• 02:34:24 Right.

Iva

• 02:34:25 Iva is a…

Luma

• 02:34:26 at Tacticians for
• 02:34:27 so it extends six seconds and that’s it.

Iva

• 02:34:30 I’m a

Hazel

• 02:34:30 Uh-huh.

Temerity

• 02:34:30 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:34:31 - Yeah.

Iva

• 02:34:31 I thought it is…
• 02:34:32 A full-on, like, I’m a trained leader in combat.

Hazel

• 02:34:38 Yeah, and so she genuinely is like, this is a…

Temerity

• 02:34:38 laughs

Hazel

• 02:34:42 even though
• 02:34:44 Like,
• 02:34:45 you might get us in trouble
• 02:34:47 with like
• 02:34:49 into like city folk life or whatever.
• 02:34:52 To Hazel, that doesn’t mean a lot.
• 02:34:54 Because to Hazel, the moment that, like,
• 02:34:57 it gets to the point where she becomes an outlaw in Argentum.
• 02:35:00 Hazel’s just leaving because she,

Iva

• 02:35:02 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:35:02 she’s just going to like turn into a,
• 02:35:04 she’s going to turn into a horse and run off.

Temerity

• 02:35:07 Uh,

Hazel

• 02:35:08 um,

Iva

• 02:35:10 Iva would have thrived out in the wild place.

Hazel

• 02:35:12 But she’s like, yeah.
• 02:35:14 Yeah, I think Hazel sees that, like,
• 02:35:17 But
• 02:35:17 If I can bring this person into like the sorrow,
• 02:35:22 she could actually do live.
• 02:35:25 Um,
• 02:35:27 when it comes to
• 02:35:29 When it comes to Luma,
• 02:35:32 I mean, to…
• 02:35:34 To Hazel, Luma is like,
• 02:35:37 Luma is not only fascinating, but like admired. I think that
• 02:35:42 Hazel thinks that the fact that Luma essentially like reverse engineered magic is like insane because to her magic was a.
• 02:35:51 To her, magic was a regimented, like…
• 02:35:55 course that she had to learn how it worked.
• 02:35:57 She had to learn how to use it correctly.
• 02:35:59 She had to learn all these different things.
• 02:36:02 Um,

Luma

• 02:36:03 Really cute.

Hazel

• 02:36:03 Especially with how strict her tutelage was.

Luma

• 02:36:07 I’m really curious how Hazel’s going to react when Luma pitches the idea of
• 02:36:11 of doing this locate object as a coven ritual.

Hazel

• 02:36:16 She’ll be all over it.

Temerity

• 02:36:16 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:36:17 She’ll be like, she’ll be like, oh my goodness.

Luma

• 02:36:19 She was like, I saw…
• 02:36:20 I saw one ritual. I thought it was a good idea. Here’s another one.
• 02:36:24 I came up with it myself.

Temerity

• 02:36:24 He he he he he he he he he he he he.

Rhysaene

• 02:36:25 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:36:26 Hee hee.
• 02:36:27 Hazel would be all over it. She’d be like, okay, I’ve, I, I don’t think I’ve ever actually done, I don’t think Hazel’s actually ever done a coven, like a circle spell before, but she’s definitely like seen them done before and she’d be all over it. She’d be like, okay, this is how they did it. This is like all the things I was trying to keep track of all the motions that they were doing and everything. Like it’s very specific. I can try to give you all this.

Luma

• 02:36:48 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:36:48 Um,

Temerity

• 02:36:48 Hehehehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:36:49 So she very much admires Luma, especially for this…

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:50 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:36:54 sort of like reverse engineering
• 02:36:56 I don’t know.
• 02:36:57 To her, she sees the way that Luma does magic
• 02:37:00 and she realizes that it’s not…
• 02:37:02 I don’t know, magic isn’t entirely what she thought it was.

Temerity

• 02:37:06 Um,

Hazel

• 02:37:07 And for Rhys,
• 02:37:09 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 02:37:09 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:37:10 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:37:12 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:37:12 Hazel really likes Rhys as a person.
• 02:37:15 And that does a lot of legwork for the fact that she is incredibly untrusting of where her magic comes from because of how cagey she is.

Rhysaene

• 02:37:25 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:37:26 All that Hazel, I think, can surmise, it has something to do with her heart.
• 02:37:32 And it has something to do with this patron that every single time you talk about, like she talks about her, she clutches her heart.

Temerity

• 02:37:44 Hehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 02:37:45 I’m back.

Hazel

• 02:37:45 Welcome back. She doesn’t know anything else, I think, because like, what else would you know?

Temerity

• 02:37:46 Welcome back.

Hazel

• 02:37:53 uh,
• 02:37:54 So I think that is a…
• 02:37:58 But she thinks that like
• 02:38:01 Especially
• 02:38:03 Unfortunately, the…
• 02:38:07 Rhys’s emotional
• 02:38:10 like attack on the
• 02:38:12 on the phase fighters was an aura gain for Mariah, but an aura loss for Hazel.
• 02:38:20 Because Hazel’s like, uh-oh.
• 02:38:23 Is this person going to be able to deal with the sorrow if they can lose their temper like that?

Rhysaene

• 02:38:29 Oh, sorry, my internet was being fucking silly.

Hazel

• 02:38:32 Oh, no, it’s okay.

Rhysaene

• 02:38:34 Yeah.
• 02:38:34 Where she lost her temper with the fucking spider.
• 02:38:37 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:38:38 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:41 Are we still waiting on anyone?

Temerity

• 02:38:45 I don’t think so.

Hazel

• 02:38:45 I don’t think so.

Temerity

• 02:38:47 Thank you everyone here.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:49 All right.

Hazel

• 02:38:49 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:50 where were we?
• 02:38:52 what was going on.

Luma

• 02:38:52 We’re getting the secret code.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:54 Write the secret code.
• 02:38:56 She says, “It’s best if no one writes it down.
• 02:38:59 the current
• 02:39:00 The current combination is left to right
• 02:39:04 Blue, red, yellow, green.
• 02:39:07 Brown.

Temerity

• 02:39:09 soon.
• 02:39:10 Amen.
• 02:39:17 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:19 Pressure plate to it.

Luma

• 02:39:20 Sounds like you’re writing it down.

Temerity

• 02:39:21 - Yeah.
• 02:39:22 hehehehe no hehehe

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:22 uh,

Luma

• 02:39:24 Thank you.
• 02:39:25 Mm-hmm.
• 02:39:25 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:26 Pressure plates are always on the far right side of their row on a shelf.
• 02:39:32 Um,
• 02:39:33 And you’ll know the right books because they’re much heavier than the other ones.

Luma

• 02:39:40 Okay.
• 02:39:42 I remember that. It’s probably a good thing that I didn’t start drinking yet.

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:46 It’s a
• 02:39:49 We do rotate the password from time to time, but…
• 02:39:53 we’ll be sure to update you the next time it rotates.

Luma

• 02:39:57 I assume based on the fact that you opened the secret door in front of the bartender that she could be trusted.

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:02 Yes, she is a family friend. She can be trusted in that she’s never going to give anyone here up. She’ll keep our secrets. She’s not part of the group and doesn’t know anything and she doesn’t want to.

Luma

• 02:40:20 Yeah, okay, that makes sense.

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:23 So if she’s ever interrogated, she genuinely…
• 02:40:25 She knows comings and goings.
• 02:40:27 She doesn’t know any of the actual information.
• 02:40:31 time.

Luma

• 02:40:32 Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:34 um,
• 02:40:36 Patrons,
• 02:40:37 We don’t usually get a lot.
• 02:40:40 The two that were upstairs happened to be
• 02:40:45 members of the little order tonight, but
• 02:40:48 because the actual secret door is, it’s like off in the side room, you know?
• 02:40:54 So it’s the main bar.

Luma

• 02:40:54 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:55 The…
• 02:40:56 The places to put the books is in the main room, and then the secret door itself is off to the side.
• 02:41:03 So you would have to, if people were here, you’d have to arrange the books while people were around and make that not look suspicious.

Luma

• 02:41:12 That’s a really clever system.

Dungeon Master

• 02:41:14 Thank you.
• 02:41:15 I didn’t come up with it. My, uh,
• 02:41:18 My mom did.
• 02:41:22 This is her place, although most people don’t know that, so that’s a between us, a little…
• 02:41:30 A little secret just for you.

Luma

• 02:41:32 Ah, I like secrets just for me.

Dungeon Master

• 02:41:34 um,
• 02:41:35 the, uh,

Luma

• 02:41:35 Nobody else remember that. It’s mine.

Hazel

• 02:41:36 - Shit.

Temerity

• 02:41:37 Hehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 02:41:37 Yeah.
• 02:41:39 The woman upstairs.
• 02:41:43 Um,
• 02:41:43 is
• 02:41:47 is named…
• 02:41:50 Maris, Maris Kettle…
• 02:41:53 And if anyone asks, she’s the owner.

Luma

• 02:42:07 Well, if that’s all the business, I would really like to go get drunk now.

Dungeon Master

• 02:42:10 Yeah, yeah, feel free.
• 02:42:12 Like I said, drinks are on me if you want a drink here.
• 02:42:15 We don’t have anything terribly…
• 02:42:18 Terribly high-end though.

Luma

• 02:42:21 That’s okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:42:23 Bruce wrote down the combination in his Secrets channel.

Iva

• 02:42:28 You have no evidence of this.

Luma

• 02:42:32 What was… oh god, what was my own NPC’s name? Uh, one second.

Iva

• 02:42:36 That’s because if Bruce didn’t write it down, there was no way Bruce was going to remember it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:42:41 Oh no, this is valid. As players, you’re definitely allowed to write it down.

Hazel

• 02:42:41 Oh.
• 02:42:44 Yeah, I was going to say Hazel will remember it.
• 02:42:47 Mariah is going to have a very hard time remembering that.

Dungeon Master

• 02:42:48 Yes, no.
• 02:42:49 You guys absolutely can write it down.
• 02:42:53 That was in character.
• 02:42:54 Don’t write it.

Temerity

• 02:42:54 Hehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 02:42:55 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:42:55 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 02:42:55 - Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:42:55 - Yeah.

Iva

• 02:42:56 laughs

Rhysaene

• 02:42:56 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:42:56 Hold on, let me repost the…

Iva

• 02:42:57 Thank you.
• 02:42:58 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:42:58 Am I genuinely going to need to remember this, or can I just say that Luma remembers it and does the thing?

Rhysaene

• 02:43:02 Thank you.

Iva

• 02:43:08 Kat’s debating because I wrote it down.

Hazel

• 02:43:10 No, just put it in the game chat.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:12 Yeah, put it in game chat, guys. I would prefer you did remember it, yes.

Iva

• 02:43:12 Oh, it’s mine.
• 02:43:14 Get your own.

Temerity

• 02:43:15 here.

Hazel

• 02:43:15 Olivia, put it in game chat. Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:17 But you can…

Temerity

• 02:43:17 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:43:17 I got it. I know I’m

Temerity

• 02:43:18 Blue, red, yellow.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:18 me.

Iva

• 02:43:19 How?

Temerity

• 02:43:20 green.
• 02:43:21 Brown.

Hazel

• 02:43:23 Click to react, click to react, click to react, add reaction, edit, forward, more, pressure plate on far right at shelf, heavy book is the good book.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:25 What the fuck is happening?

Rhysaene

• 02:43:30 Yeah.
• 02:43:31 - Yeah.

Iva

• 02:43:31 You’re just…

Hazel

• 02:43:31 at

Rhysaene

• 02:43:32 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:43:32 2.18 a.m. on a Tuesday, May 19th.
• 02:43:35 Wait, what the fuck?

Rhysaene

• 02:43:36 I’m.

Hazel

• 02:43:36 It’s May 18th.

Rhysaene

• 02:43:38 I was going to say, for the next three years of the campaign, we can’t write that information down.
• 02:43:45 We have to remember it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:47 You have to remember that.

Iva

• 02:43:47 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:43:47 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:48 It’s going to be very, your lives are going to depend on you as human beings remembering that one day.
• 02:43:57 Um,
• 02:43:58 Presumably you return back up to the bar then to get more drinks.

Temerity

• 02:44:02 Before we do, Temerity wants to ask Amber a question.

Hazel

• 02:44:03 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:44:04 Right, you did have a…

Temerity

• 02:44:09 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 02:44:09 She kind of
• 02:44:10 catches your eye and sees your
• 02:44:12 Looking to do that.

Temerity

• 02:44:13 Aha.
• 02:44:16 I understand that y’all might not know much, but
• 02:44:20 Do you have any…
• 02:44:22 insight.
• 02:44:24 Into.
• 02:44:25 what purification means.

Dungeon Master

• 02:44:28 um,
• 02:44:33 She looks at you for a long moment.
• 02:44:36 And she says,
• 02:44:40 No, I’m sorry, we don’t know.
• 02:44:42 Um,
• 02:44:44 We’ve suspected that they just, you know, they just…
• 02:44:50 They just kill the mages…
• 02:44:53 um,
• 02:44:55 But we haven’t ever found any evidence that that’s what happens, other than the fact that we just never hear from them again.
• 02:45:03 um,
• 02:45:09 I think…

Hazel

• 02:45:09 meridate.

Dungeon Master

• 02:45:12 I think, um,

Hazel

• 02:45:13 Go for it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:45:16 They might do it at Candlehold, not here.
• 02:45:18 I don’t know why that would be.
• 02:45:20 I don’t know why you can’t just execute a mage in the city
• 02:45:22 if they’re supposedly guilty of crimes and danger.
• 02:45:27 But
• 02:45:29 on rare occasions,
• 02:45:33 you can catch a caravan, a small caravan…
• 02:45:38 moving from the, um,
• 02:45:41 Order of the Lantern Barracks out that gate that’s right there.
• 02:45:45 north on that road out of town and that road doesn’t go anywhere but to Candlehold.
• 02:45:51 Um,
• 02:45:54 Let me see if I can…
• 02:45:57 Up.
• 02:45:58 Here.
• 02:46:00 Yeah, because the
• 02:46:01 Let me verify that that is true.
• 02:46:03 Or I may have just like made up things that aren’t remotely true.
• 02:46:07 Oh.

Temerity

• 02:46:08 Hehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:09 world map.

Temerity

• 02:46:15 Oh yeah, the trees.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:18 Oh right, the trees.
• 02:46:21 Get out of the way, trees.
• 02:46:27 Um, yes, that road by the barracks just goes up to Candlehold, and that’s where it stops.

Luma

• 02:46:35 Oh, we’ve passed by Candle a few times.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:37 You’ve passed by on the other side of the river, yes, a few times.

Luma

• 02:46:41 Yeah.
• 02:46:41 That place is spooky.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:42 um,
• 02:46:43 Yes, indeed.

Temerity

• 02:46:44 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:44 uh,
• 02:46:46 Soros. So she says,
• 02:46:50 Sargentum, she says,

Iva

• 02:46:52 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:53 Occasionally, you see a caravan, they usually head out in the early morning, um,
• 02:46:59 heading out that northwest gate by where the barracks is.
• 02:47:04 Um,
• 02:47:06 A contact of mine says that’s why the barracks was built there and not in the lantern wards where the…
• 02:47:13 Order of the Lantern headquarters is,
• 02:47:15 is so they were right near the gate
• 02:47:17 that sits on the road to Candlehold.
• 02:47:23 which makes sense, I suppose.
• 02:47:25 Um,
• 02:47:26 I don’t know.
• 02:47:27 I don’t know anything else about it.
• 02:47:28 I would like to know more, but that’s a…
• 02:47:32 That’s not something you’re going to find buried under the city.
• 02:47:35 That’s something that you’re going to have to pry out of a…
• 02:47:39 the order of the lantern or the synod directly.
• 02:47:43 That’s not our history, that’s our now.

Temerity

• 02:47:48 Temerity nods.

Luma

• 02:47:50 Let’s break in.

Temerity

• 02:47:52 He he he he he he he he he he he he he.

Hazel

• 02:47:56 Hazel kind of, like, looks to Iva, like…
• 02:47:59 Um,

Iva

• 02:48:02 I was like…
• 02:48:05 Yeah.
• 02:48:10 We can talk about that later.

Temerity

• 02:48:14 Who?

Hazel

• 02:48:18 I think it’s clear
• 02:48:21 but the Psy not offer no clemency to people like us.
• 02:48:24 I don’t know why you keep asking this Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:48:28 laughs

Iva

• 02:48:29 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:48:30 Right on.
• 02:48:31 think that they’re just killing people.

Hazel

• 02:48:34 Well, clearly.

Iva

• 02:48:34 No.
• 02:48:36 They’re taking people somewhere else, then killing them.

Hazel

• 02:48:36 But it’s a…
• 02:48:42 - To you, what would be a preferable outcome?
• 02:48:44 They kill the mages?
• 02:48:46 but they do something worse.

Temerity

• 02:48:49 A preferable outcome is they do something better.
• 02:48:52 That’s…
• 02:48:54 what I’m
• 02:48:59 hoping for, I presume.

Hazel

• 02:49:03 Well,

Temerity

• 02:49:04 I don’t know.
• 02:49:08 - Well, thank you for that information.
• 02:49:12 It’s basically what I’ve been able to gather, but…

Hazel

• 02:49:16 Clearly.

Temerity

• 02:49:16 helpful nonetheless.

Iva

• 02:49:17 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:19 Yeah, of course.

Luma

• 02:49:21 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:26 Sorry, I don’t know more.

Hazel

• 02:49:32 No, no, I think it’s very fair to think of the things that you think.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:38 Thank you.

Temerity

• 02:49:39 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:49:39 Only a few.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:40 What?

Hazel

• 02:49:41 Only a fool would hope of…
• 02:49:44 something horrible because of this.

Luma

• 02:49:45 Luma wanders off to go to the bar.

Iva

• 02:49:46 -
• 02:49:48 -

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:48 You head back upstairs.

Temerity

• 02:49:48 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:49:49 I appreciate you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:50 Um,
• 02:49:51 Back to the bar.
• 02:49:52 You can order any drink you want.
• 02:49:54 They do really truly only have like
• 02:49:57 The cheap whiskey.
• 02:49:59 Ale.
• 02:50:00 Um,

Luma

• 02:50:00 almost
• 02:50:01 talking the bartender lady through one of the most, like,
• 02:50:07 like,
• 02:50:08 gut-wrenching sounding drinks that

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:10 Oh, God.

Luma

• 02:50:11 that, uh,
• 02:50:13 what’s his fucking name?
• 02:50:14 God damn it.
• 02:50:15 Ballad taught her one time and she’s like,
• 02:50:18 I want to try it.

Hazel

• 02:50:19 Mmm.

Temerity

• 02:50:20 He he he he he.

Luma

• 02:50:20 It’s just like, it’s like, it’s a dwarven rot gut puncher or some shit.
• 02:50:24 It’s like an unholy amalgamation of a bunch of different, like, whiskeys.

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:25 Oh God.

Temerity

• 02:50:25 He he he he he he he he he he.

Rhysaene

• 02:50:25 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:50:26 laughing

Luma

• 02:50:29 It’s like, never mix your colored and your clears.

Temerity

• 02:50:30 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:50:31 She’s mixing all of them.

Temerity

• 02:50:33 Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Hazel

• 02:50:33 She’s hitting the, like, the, like, absolutely disgusting, like, hair of the dog type shit.

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:38 If you drink this shit…

Hazel

• 02:50:39 Like, egg yolk, whiskey, Tabasco.

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:42 If you drink this shit, it’s a DC 15 con save versus being poisoned until you finish a long rest.

Luma

• 02:50:42 Yeah, it’s like,

Temerity

• 02:50:42 Thank you.

Luma

• 02:50:44 Thank you.

Temerity

• 02:50:48 this is crazy

Hazel

• 02:50:49 Oh, God.

Rhysaene

• 02:50:50 Go, brother.

Luma

• 02:50:51 I rolled a one.

Iva

• 02:50:54 Ha ha ha ha!

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:55 Luma is poisoned until she finishes a long rest and hammered.

Rhysaene

• 02:50:55 I might.

Temerity

• 02:51:00 Oh, boy.
• 02:51:04 Thank you.

Iva

• 02:51:05 Uh,

Luma

• 02:51:06 Who is in the place right now?

Iva

• 02:51:06 I’m a…
• 02:51:09 I think Iva is still talking the Temerity beat, like, with Hazel going…

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:10 It’s a.

Iva

• 02:51:15 I don’t know why you don’t trust us on this.
• 02:51:19 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:51:20 Well,
• 02:51:21 Tup, tup!
• 02:51:22 Hazel would relent and say, well, to be clear, I don’t actually know.

Temerity

• 02:51:27 Thank you.
• 02:51:28 That’s why.
• 02:51:33 Who else is up there?
• 02:51:35 Did risk go up or did she stay down as well?

Rhysaene

• 02:51:37 Yeah.
• 02:51:38 Yeah, she went up.
• 02:51:39 Yeah, I’ll save a Luma.

Temerity

• 02:51:39 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 02:51:43 Luma’s drawing a really, like…
• 02:51:46 artistically flattering picture of a dragonborn right now.

Iva

• 02:51:49 -

Temerity

• 02:51:50 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:51:50 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:50 Right.

Hazel

• 02:51:51 Yes!

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:51 I have to…

Rhysaene

• 02:51:52 If

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:53 I have to be right back.

Hazel

• 02:51:55 The fucking cultural mainstay of Marigold the Dragonborn.

Temerity

• 02:51:55 - Okay.

Rhysaene

• 02:51:55 Okay.

Luma

• 02:51:59 Mm-hmm.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:00 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:52:00 Hehehehe.

Iva

• 02:52:00 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:52:04 She was just really pretty and so strong with a big sword, kinda like yours is.

Hazel

• 02:52:04 Battle next.
• 02:52:09 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:09 Oh, thank you.

Temerity

• 02:52:10 Hehehehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:52:11 She was green with yellow around the face.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:11 Is this you making?

Luma

• 02:52:14 Mr.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:14 Thank you.
• 02:52:16 Did she make you, did she, did she leave an impression on you?

Luma

• 02:52:19 Yeah, she was really nice and like really big.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:23 Bye.

Luma

• 02:52:27 I technically had a hand in firing me, but that’s okay.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:30 Uh…

Iva

• 02:52:31 I think so inspired by someone pretty.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:31 Yeah.
• 02:52:33 Thank you.

Iva

• 02:52:34 Bye.

Luma

• 02:52:34 It’s just a failure.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:34 I know.

Temerity

• 02:52:35 laughs

Rhysaene

• 02:52:35 I know a thing or two about that.

Iva

• 02:52:36 Thank you.

Temerity

• 02:52:39 talk about getting fired it’s just like a super cut of

Luma

• 02:52:44 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:52:45 The drama’s real fucking good, though.

Luma

• 02:52:46 Right.

Temerity

• 02:52:47 super cut of all the times

Luma

• 02:52:47 I’m just…

Temerity

• 02:52:52 Rhys has pulled the sword out of her fucking…
• 02:52:55 Flameheart.

Luma

• 02:53:09 Oh no, it’s the internet.

Temerity

• 02:53:11 Oh no.

Iva

• 02:53:11 You killed it.

Hazel

• 02:53:15 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 02:53:16 Oh, dead, dead.

Temerity

• 02:53:18 Oh,

Hazel

• 02:53:18 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:53:21 Oh God.

Luma

• 02:53:21 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 02:53:23 Hello.
• 02:53:24 Sorry.

Temerity

• 02:53:24 From the ashes she arises.

Luma

• 02:53:24 I’ll go back.
• 02:53:26 team.

Hazel

• 02:53:26 like Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:53:28 Yes.

Rhysaene

• 02:53:31 on these levels.
• 02:53:33 - Ah.

Temerity

• 02:53:33 No.

Iva

• 02:53:33 I think we should double tech
• 02:53:35 check the Temerity thing.

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:37 I’m back.

Luma

• 02:53:38 Yeah, we should kill Temerity just to make sure.

Temerity

• 02:53:38 Welcome back.

Iva

• 02:53:40 Just to make sure.

Rhysaene

• 02:53:40 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 02:53:40 He he he he he he he he he.

Hazel

• 02:53:41 to Temerity.
• 02:53:42 Temerity’s not done anything wrong.

Luma

• 02:53:45 I meant to test that she should come back.

Temerity

• 02:53:47 just for shits and giggles.

Hazel

• 02:53:47 Oh, true.

Iva

• 02:53:47 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:53:48 -

Iva

• 02:53:48 Just out of curiosity. Not because she’s done anything wrong. Just…

Luma

• 02:53:49 - Yeah.
• 02:53:51 It’s still such a funny fucking thing that it’s just like, I died.
• 02:53:55 And instead of thinking that was a close call, I’m really glad that I got a second chance at life.
• 02:53:58 It’s I cannot die ever.

Temerity

• 02:54:00 Hehehehehehehehehehe.

Hazel

• 02:54:03 Olivia, I have a question.

Iva

• 02:54:03 Death fears me.

Temerity

• 02:54:05 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:54:06 If.
• 02:54:07 If Sage were to be involved in a fight between Temerity and Hazel, would Temerity put the dog down?

Temerity

• 02:54:14 Probably not.
• 02:54:16 Unless the dog was doing crazy fucko damage to Temerity, probably not.

Hazel

• 02:54:16 Right.

Iva

• 02:54:16 Good to know. Good to know.

Hazel

• 02:54:17 Excuse me.

Luma

• 02:54:20 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:54:21 No, probably wasn’t dealing any damage.
• 02:54:23 It was just giving her pack tactics.

Temerity

• 02:54:26 Oh.

Luma

• 02:54:26 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:54:26 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:54:27 laughs

Temerity

• 02:54:27 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:54:28 You wouldn’t.

Iva

• 02:54:28 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:54:29 Yes.

Luma

• 02:54:29 You wouldn’t need that because Temerity would already be recklessly.

Temerity

• 02:54:32 Yeah.

Iva

• 02:54:33 crew.

Luma

• 02:54:33 Yeah.

Hazel

• 02:54:33 You’re listening.
• 02:54:34 True. Hold on.

Temerity

• 02:54:38 But no.

Luma

• 02:54:40 So yeah, who’s in the bar right now?
• 02:54:41 Is it the other two people still there?

Dungeon Master

• 02:54:42 Um,
• 02:54:44 Uh, yes. Um, but as Amber comes up, she gives them a nod and they leave.

Hazel

• 02:54:53 Hazel will come up.

Temerity

• 02:54:57 All right, yeah, Temerity rule.

Luma

• 02:54:57 Every once in a while, Luma’s drawing turns fucking full 3D statue whenever the bartender isn’t looking, and she adds details to it.
• 02:55:05 like flushes back into the painting or into the picture.

Temerity

• 02:55:09 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 02:55:10 Nah, that’s not quite right.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:12 Whoop.

Luma

• 02:55:13 Thank you.

Hazel

• 02:55:14 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 02:55:17 Luma is…
• 02:55:19 Very quickly.
• 02:55:20 drunk.

Temerity

• 02:55:22 He he he he he he he he.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:28 No, Luma, your interview’s been rescheduled for tomorrow morning.

Hazel

• 02:55:31 Hehehehe!

Iva

• 02:55:32 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:55:34 God, that would be…

Hazel

• 02:55:34 Ugh.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:34 Francis D. St.

Luma

• 02:55:35 Rough.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:36 No, no, no, no, no.

Luma

• 02:55:38 That actually might lead credence to her fucking…
• 02:55:42 Like, innocence.
• 02:55:44 She got fired immediately when she got hammered.

Hazel

• 02:55:47 True.

Luma

• 02:55:47 Sad as hell.

Iva

• 02:55:47 like a normal person.

Luma

• 02:55:49 Yeah, like a normal person.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:52 Um,
• 02:55:54 Yeah, the bar is yours.
• 02:55:56 Only the bartender and Amber are there.
• 02:56:04 uh,

Luma

• 02:56:04 I don’t have anything else.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:06 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:56:06 anybody wants anything. I’m just going to
• 02:56:09 Get real happy drunk.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:11 it,

Rhysaene

• 02:56:11 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:12 You, uh, yeah, you all can enjoy, enjoy free drinks.
• 02:56:16 until you’re ready to leave and then
• 02:56:19 conclude the evening at your leisure.

Temerity

• 02:56:23 Uh…
• 02:56:25 Temerity does not drink.
• 02:56:31 Because Temerity is still worried about risk getting assassinated.
• 02:56:35 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:36 Uh-huh.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:37 Aww.

Temerity

• 02:56:39 And so it’s still going to be bodyguard.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:41 Yeah, yeah.
• 02:56:42 Um,

Hazel

• 02:56:42 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:43 That’s totally fine.

Hazel

• 02:56:43 Hayden doesn’t drink either.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:46 Rhys is also not drinking.

Iva

• 02:56:48 Oh, it’s all I looped.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:48 Luma gets drunk a loon.
• 02:56:50 A loon?

Iva

• 02:56:51 It’s only going to be the Winter King.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:51 Alone.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:53 No, no, I think she’ll have like a glass, like she’ll have like a glass or something.

Iva

• 02:56:55 uh…
• 02:56:56 Oh, my God.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:59 This Luma doesn’t feel like awkward.

Iva

• 02:57:03 Awesome.

Luma

• 02:57:03 Luma doesn’t care at this point.

Iva

• 02:57:05 I was like, Luma Hammond, I think.

Hazel

• 02:57:05 Yeah.

Temerity

• 02:57:05 Hehehehehehe.
• 02:57:08 Luma’s having a good time.

Iva

• 02:57:09 I think we’re…
• 02:57:10 In the clear.

Temerity

• 02:57:11 I’ll see you next time.

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:14 Do you all want to do anything else?

Luma

• 02:57:18 Did I manage to finish the original circle thing before we left?

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:22 The scroll…

Luma

• 02:57:23 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:24 Yeah, you’ve crafted your scroll, we’ll say.

Luma

• 02:57:27 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:29 Be sure to mark off the gold and what have you.

Luma

• 02:57:32 That would be from if she.

Rhysaene

• 02:57:36 Oh, I mocked it.
• 02:57:38 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 02:57:38 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 02:57:40 Yeah, I marked it off when I gave it to you.
• 02:57:45 out of 100 gold, 10 platinum.

Luma

• 02:57:49 - Take it, take it, take it.

Hazel

• 02:57:53 I think while they’re all just like chilling at the bar, Hazel’s going to go ahead and ask Temerity how training with the Dragoons is going.

Luma

• 02:57:54 Thank you.

Temerity

• 02:58:02 Um,
• 02:58:04 Huh.
• 02:58:04 I didn’t think he’d be interested.
• 02:58:08 Going well.
• 02:58:09 I would say.
• 02:58:13 It’s going pretty well.
• 02:58:14 uh,
• 02:58:16 been learning Draconic.

Hazel

• 02:58:19 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 02:58:21 What words did you learn?

Hazel

• 02:58:21 He’s kind of like,

Temerity

• 02:58:24 I don’t know.
• 02:58:26 Temerity says the word for forward and retreat and…
• 02:58:34 front and right and left.
• 02:58:38 Basically, all Temerity knows is just like…
• 02:58:42 commands.

Luma

• 02:58:42 Luma spouts something back in fluid
• 02:58:45 Draconic and then burps and

Dungeon Master

• 02:58:46 It’s…

Luma

• 02:58:47 falls over him.

Temerity

• 02:58:49 laughs

Hazel

• 02:58:49 - Yeah.

Luma

• 02:58:50 Thank you.
• 02:58:51 I love Draconic, it sounds so funny in my throat.

Hazel

• 02:58:53 - Yeah, it’s good.
• 02:58:55 Hazel is just going to be like,

Temerity

• 02:58:55 Hehehehe.

Dungeon Master

• 02:58:58 - Hey, Eylesis.

Hazel

• 02:58:58 Well,

Dungeon Master

• 02:58:59 Sorry.
• 02:59:01 uh,
• 02:59:02 If you don’t have heroic inspiration, you get it for I love Draconic.
• 02:59:06 It sounds so funny in my throat.

Luma

• 02:59:08 He doesn’t think anyone.

Hazel

• 02:59:08 Hee hee hee!

Temerity

• 02:59:08 -

Luma

• 02:59:10 Yeah.
• 02:59:12 - Ugh.

Hazel

• 02:59:16 I’ll see you next time.
• 02:59:17 They’re teaching you how to fight.
• 02:59:19 How to fight the sorrow by teaching you language.

Temerity

• 02:59:23 It’s.
• 02:59:25 important for
• 02:59:27 battlefield maneuvers, apparently.

Luma

• 02:59:31 Now against half the battle.

Temerity

• 02:59:31 That’s it.
• 02:59:33 Hehehehe.
• 02:59:34 That’s the language that they use.

Iva

• 02:59:37 Thank you.
• 02:59:39 I feel like you’d be more confused…

Hazel

• 02:59:39 On the nose.

Iva

• 02:59:41 if I yelled things in a different language at you.

Temerity

• 02:59:45 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 02:59:45 The.
• 02:59:47 The start of the swarm wave thought spoke common.
• 02:59:50 There’s a…
• 02:59:51 There’s a modicum of…
• 02:59:56 There’s a modicum of sense in how they…
• 03:00:00 and how they think yet.
• 03:00:02 Mm-hmm.
• 03:00:06 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 03:00:07 Sorry, I kind of got distracted.
• 03:00:10 What has, just a quick rundown, what has Temerity said about Dragoon training?

Temerity

• 03:00:15 Just that I’ve learned Draconic and that’s going well.

Dungeon Master

• 03:00:19 Gotcha.

Temerity

• 03:00:19 I’ve learned a little bit of Draconic.

Hazel

• 03:00:20 Ciao.

Iva

• 03:00:21 Learned six words in Draconic.

Hazel

• 03:00:23 And,
• 03:00:24 Hazel just scoffs and is like…
• 03:00:28 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:00:30 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 03:00:30 Makes sense if, I mean, you know,
• 03:00:33 the stars or a funny thought it would come and make sense though
• 03:00:39 She kind of like, she kind of like puts her…
• 03:00:42 puts her hand on her cheek as she kind of, like, looks at Temerity across the table and is just like…
• 03:00:50 You’ve fought.
• 03:00:51 You fought the Sorrowsworn first hand, do you truly think that learning Draconic is the thing that’s going to help you fight it?

Iva

• 03:01:00 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:01:00 uh,
• 03:01:01 No, I think what will help me fight it is, um,
• 03:01:05 the Fang that the Dragoons have and
• 03:01:08 the
• 03:01:09 Blessing of Bahamut.

Hazel

• 03:01:11 effect.

Temerity

• 03:01:13 Yes.
• 03:01:15 there.
• 03:01:15 You may have seen them.
• 03:01:17 I think we’ve seen a Dragoon before as a group.
• 03:01:20 But, um,
• 03:01:21 It really describes, like, the…

Dungeon Master

• 03:01:22 don’t look.

Temerity

• 03:01:24 the
• 03:01:26 like Damascus metal that like seems to flow.
• 03:01:30 Uh,
• 03:01:31 within it.
• 03:01:33 Um,
• 03:01:35 And that
• 03:01:36 upon completing training that she’ll get one.
• 03:01:40 She’ll get the hammer.

Hazel

• 03:01:41 Ooh.

Temerity

• 03:01:42 That will be her thing.

Dungeon Master

• 03:01:46 I do not believe the group has seen a Dragoon. I think only Temerity has.

Hazel

• 03:01:49 Yes.

Temerity

• 03:01:50 Oh, OK, then yeah.
• 03:01:51 Temerity does describe that.

Luma

• 03:01:57 That sounds really cool.

Hazel

• 03:01:58 He’ll nods.
• 03:01:59 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:01:59 You should ask for a gun. They’re really fun.

Hazel

• 03:02:02 Hehehehe.

Temerity

• 03:02:02 I don’t think I’d be a great shot.

Iva

• 03:02:03 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:04 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 03:02:05 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 03:02:09 While you’re practicing Draconic, you might as well learn how to shoot Draconic. Hey, I can teach you Draconic and guns!

Hazel

• 03:02:09 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:02:15 Oh yeah, you do know Draconic.

Luma

• 03:02:17 Yeah, it feels funny in my throat.

Temerity

• 03:02:20 crying

Iva

• 03:02:20 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:02:24 I said that already.

Rhysaene

• 03:02:24 You speak since you’re kind of right now.

Luma

• 03:02:27 Yeah, almost starts doing the equivalent of throat singing.

Temerity

• 03:02:31 laughs

Hazel

• 03:02:31 Mongolian throat singing

Luma

• 03:02:31 Thank you.

Hazel

• 03:02:32 Ooooooooh

Luma

• 03:02:33 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:34 Well,
• 03:02:34 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 03:02:35 - Ugh.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:35 Luma hits an old draconic song and accidentally pulls a Fusro Da.

Rhysaene

• 03:02:36 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:02:40 I’m going to go.

Temerity

• 03:02:42 Ha ha ha!

Hazel

• 03:02:43 Dude!

Luma

• 03:02:43 She strikes her mug by accident.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:45 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:02:46 laughs

Luma

• 03:02:47 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:02:48 She hits this song, hold on, I’ll put it in the game show.

Temerity

• 03:02:55 Um,

Hazel

• 03:02:55 um,

Luma

• 03:02:55 Bye.
• 03:02:57 No, but she definitely speaks really, like, rumbly throaty, like, like,

Temerity

• 03:02:57 He he he he he he he he he he.

Luma

• 03:03:01 as accurately as she can.

Hazel

• 03:03:05 you are.

Luma

• 03:03:05 Obviously not.

Temerity

• 03:03:05 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 03:03:06 - Cool.

Luma

• 03:03:06 Not as…
• 03:03:07 good as like an actual dragon or a dragon board could do, but

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:12 Marigold be hitting the shit every night.

Luma

• 03:03:12 very serious about it.

Temerity

• 03:03:12 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 03:03:14 And…

Iva

• 03:03:14 laughter

Temerity

• 03:03:14 Hehehehehehe.

Hazel

• 03:03:15 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 03:03:16 Yeah, yeah. No, I’m not going to say that.

Temerity

• 03:03:18 laughter

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:19 Really?

Temerity

• 03:03:21 Yeah.
• 03:03:23 Yeah.
• 03:03:23 Ha ha ha.

Rhysaene

• 03:03:26 Oh, wow.

Luma

• 03:03:28 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:28 - Yeah.

Iva

• 03:03:28 A walk.

Luma

• 03:03:30 Wow.

Temerity

• 03:03:31 Wow.

Luma

• 03:03:33 If you need lessons, I can help you.

Temerity

• 03:03:33 Yeah.
• 03:03:35 That would be…
• 03:03:36 It would be very helpful.
• 03:03:37 Luma, actually.
• 03:03:40 That’s the hardest part of training for me.

Luma

• 03:03:43 Yeah, just be careful not to write magic words.
• 03:03:45 Draconic is really powerful.

Temerity

• 03:03:49 Understood.

Luma

• 03:03:51 That’s how my explosions work.

Temerity

• 03:03:54 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:03:54 I probably shouldn’t be saying this out loud.
• 03:03:56 I’m going to look over to make sure the bartender isn’t nearby.

Temerity

• 03:03:56 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:59 She is behind the bar and it doesn’t seem like she can hear you.
• 03:04:03 Because being older…
• 03:04:08 you’re fairly far away. You’re
• 03:04:10 Well, no, I shouldn’t presume that.
• 03:04:12 You’re anywhere you want to be.

Iva

• 03:04:32 It got real quiet.

Dungeon Master

• 03:04:34 True.

Temerity

• 03:04:35 Um,
• 03:04:36 But yeah, Temerity agrees for the help with Luma.
• 03:04:40 Uh,
• 03:04:41 Whenever Luma’s not drunk.

Luma

• 03:04:43 Mm-hmm.
• 03:04:45 He immediately starts drawing a
• 03:04:47 Like study plans.
• 03:04:48 They are way complicated for what they need to be.

Temerity

• 03:04:49 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 03:04:52 All right, so this is how you conjugate every tense.

Luma

• 03:04:56 I don’t know.
• 03:05:01 There she is.

Hazel

• 03:05:07 I’m generally so sorry. I spent a non-zero part of that session. It was mostly during the break, downloading Solasta so I could get that screenshot.

Luma

• 03:05:07 We love Marigold.
• 03:05:17 Thank you.

Hazel

• 03:05:18 I get it.

Iva

• 03:05:18 laughter

Temerity

• 03:05:18 Hehehehehehe.

Iva

• 03:05:19 laughter

Rhysaene

• 03:05:19 Thank you.

Hazel

• 03:05:22 I couldn’t actually load the character because Eylesis owned all the DLC, which I don’t have.
• 03:05:28 So I couldn’t load the character, but…

Luma

• 03:05:29 Uh, no!

Hazel

• 03:05:31 laughs

Temerity

• 03:05:31 He he he he he he he he.

Luma

• 03:05:32 I’m sorry.
• 03:05:35 Hey, very convenient.

Hazel

• 03:05:35 That’s okay.

Luma

• 03:05:36 Mariah’s got Celeste installed.
• 03:05:39 Intention, I’ll judge.

Hazel

• 03:05:40 Hee hee hee.

Dungeon Master

• 03:05:41 Yes.

Luma

• 03:05:41 - Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:05:41 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 03:05:42 I want
• 03:05:44 I want everyone who is not a part of that Solasta campaign to know that the character known as Marigold was a dark green dragonborn who I painted lime green on the face because I thought it would be funny to make a dragonborn that looked like Master Chief.

Luma

• 03:06:00 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:06:00 He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he.

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:00 Yeah.

Iva

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:03 Yeah.
• 03:06:04 - Sure.

Luma

• 03:06:07 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:06:10 It’s so good.

Luma

• 03:06:11 It’s awesome.
• 03:06:13 Yeah, we spend the night
• 03:06:15 drinking and chatting and

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:18 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:06:18 socializing and

Temerity

• 03:06:21 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 03:06:21 Somebody needs to carry Luma home because she can’t feel her legs.

Hazel

• 03:06:24 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 03:06:25 Hee hee hee hee hee hee.

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:25 Where does everyone go for the night, just so I know?

Temerity

• 03:06:29 Temerity is going to stay wherever Rhys stays and try to keep guard.

Rhysaene

• 03:06:32 - Yeah, I’m saying a mouse.

Hazel

• 03:06:35 As they exit the bar, Hazel’s gonna
• 03:06:37 tug on Temerity’s like tabard.

Temerity

• 03:06:41 Huh?

Hazel

• 03:06:41 and just point to a nearby alleyway.

Temerity

• 03:06:46 Okay.
• 03:06:47 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:06:47 - Yeah.

Iva

• 03:06:49 He’s getting jumped.

Luma

• 03:06:51 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 03:06:52 Temerity enters the alleyway.

Luma

• 03:06:52 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:06:55 for a moment.

Hazel

• 03:06:56 key.
• 03:06:58 they, they,
• 03:06:59 they discuss it but not in the cover of darkness in this alleyway
• 03:07:04 and
• 03:07:05 I don’t know.
• 03:07:06 I feel like Hazel’s got the funny reflection in her eyes because she’s not an entirely normal type of person.
• 03:07:14 Uh…
• 03:07:16 very like funny looking, but she’s like,
• 03:07:19 she just kind of like tells Temerity that if at any point,
• 03:07:23 She was…
• 03:07:25 Hazel was trained in…
• 03:07:30 very loosely, but she was still trained in the art of disposing Sorrowsworn, and if she ever wants to learn
• 03:07:38 from someone who
• 03:07:40 was ever trained in how to dispose of SorrowSport, and that she could always try training with her.
• 03:07:47 And that is it.
• 03:07:49 The Dragoons are not the only solution.

Iva

• 03:07:57 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:08:01 Are you wanting to spar?

Hazel

• 03:08:05 Mm-hmm.
• 03:08:06 Whoa, whoa, whoa, that’s not what she said.

Temerity

• 03:08:09 Hehehehehehehehe.

Hazel

• 03:08:10 The train…

Temerity

• 03:08:13 Well, I don’t know what training that

Hazel

• 03:08:17 Yes, that is what she’s saying.

Temerity

• 03:08:20 laughs

Luma

• 03:08:36 And it’s like,
• 03:08:38 Yeah, maybe when
• 03:08:42 maybe when the others aren’t as indisposed
• 03:08:44 uh,
• 03:08:46 Hehehehe.
• 03:08:49 to
• 03:08:51 Catch the Assassin.
• 03:08:53 or some other time.

Hazel

• 03:08:54 laughs

Temerity

• 03:08:56 If we can find…
• 03:08:58 A secluded space.
• 03:09:00 so that there’s no risk of
• 03:09:04 interdiction.
• 03:09:05 That’s a huge word.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:07 No.
• 03:09:09 That’s what happens in that one game.

Temerity

• 03:09:11 He he he he he he.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:13 I forgot what the game’s called.

Hazel

• 03:09:13 Dragon Age introduction.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:15 No, um,

Hazel

• 03:09:16 -

Temerity

• 03:09:21 I think I know what you’re talking about, though.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:25 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:09:26 Yeah, I think I know what you’re talking about.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:28 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:09:30 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:30 It couldn’t bother me.

Temerity

• 03:09:32 But yeah, basically, so we don’t get caught with you using magic.
• 03:09:36 The Temerity sound to spar. Temerity sound to spar anybody.

Hazel

Temerity

Hazel

• 03:09:55 I thought you’d have more trust in me, Temerity.

Temerity

• 03:09:58 Well,
• 03:10:00 They said something wrong.

Hazel

• 03:10:03 gasp
• 03:10:03 No, no, you haven’t said anything wrong.
• 03:10:06 Let us go…
• 03:10:08 Let us go back to the others.

Temerity

• 03:10:16 no but the Temerity just nods and
• 03:10:22 So,
• 03:10:23 goes back.

Temerity

Hazel

Temerity

Dungeon Master

• 03:11:06 Um,
• 03:11:07 So just for my knowledge, where does everyone end up for the night?
• 03:11:11 Uh,

Dungeon Master

• 03:11:28 A new day dawns.
• 03:11:30 um,
• 03:11:33 Unless there’s anything anyone wants to do…
• 03:11:37 Nothing comes up over the next couple days.
• 03:11:41 and they pass uneventfully.

Iva

• 03:11:44 I would just…
• 03:11:46 Iva would check her dead drops every night.

Dungeon Master

• 03:11:47 you,
• 03:11:49 Yes, you check your dead drops every night and so far nothing.

Luma

• 03:11:55 My thing is pivoting.

Hazel

Luma

• 03:11:58 conditional on whether or not
• 03:12:00 risk receives a
• 03:12:02 divine intervention in her dreams.

Rhysaene

Dungeon Master

Luma

• 03:12:18 And you can feel it
• 03:12:20 um,
• 03:12:25 You can feel it. You can feel something there, but this is like a kind of muscle you’ve never stretched.
• 03:12:32 and you were

Rhysaene

Dungeon Master

• 03:12:33 You’re working towards something, but it has not borne fruit just yet.

Rhysaene

• 03:12:41 Okay.

Dungeon Master

Temerity

• 03:12:52 Oh.

Temerity

Temerity

• 03:14:20 I got a drink.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:20 But.

Temerity

• 03:14:21 Dead dragon blood.
• 03:14:22 I have no idea if that’s even remotely…
• 03:14:24 anything to do with it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:27 I don’t know.
• 03:14:28 Sounds made up.

Temerity

• 03:14:29 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:31 Um,
• 03:14:32 So the next couple of days pass unless anyone wants to jump in. Um, and we, we,
• 03:14:38 We jump ahead a little…
• 03:14:41 to the morning of the sixth of Nightdeep.

Luma

• 03:14:44 The only thing I was going to say is, unfortunately for Rhys, Luma has an incredible amount of free time on her hand.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:45 uh,
• 03:14:46 Yeah.
• 03:14:50 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:14:51 Everything about her house gets improved in some way.
• 03:14:54 like hinges are oiled, like…
• 03:14:57 Stuff is refinished.

Rhysaene

• 03:14:57 - Oh my God.

Luma

• 03:14:58 She’s occupying herself as much as she can while she stresses over the city.

Rhysaene

• 03:15:03 Bye.

Temerity

• 03:15:04 Aww.

Rhysaene

• 03:15:05 let’s say,
• 03:15:07 do whatever. Like,
• 03:15:11 There are some things that she’s very particular about.
• 03:15:15 So if Luma goes and moves, Rhys will just be like, hey.
• 03:15:19 Exactly.

Luma

• 03:15:20 At any point, Rhys, like, suggests that she doesn’t want Luma to do something.

Rhysaene

• 03:15:20 don’t

Luma

• 03:15:23 Luma immediately, like, changes tracks as if, like,
• 03:15:26 Nothing. It’s nothing.

Dungeon Master

• 03:15:28 Can it sleep, sleep, sleep?
• 03:15:32 Um,
• 03:15:32 Yeah.
• 03:15:33 Your house is cleaned, organized.
• 03:15:36 Uh,
• 03:15:38 and all of that. The morning of the sixth comes

Iva

• 03:15:39 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:15:41 Your interview is scheduled this morning
• 03:15:44 um,
• 03:15:46 So my question to you is, are you bringing anyone or are you going alone?
• 03:15:49 You were not told…
• 03:15:51 either.

Luma

• 03:15:53 What time is the interview scheduled for?

Dungeon Master

• 03:15:55 It’s scheduled for 8:00 in the morning at the Silver Archive.

Luma

• 03:16:01 Luma is planning on going on her own.
• 03:16:03 Unless somebody…
• 03:16:05 suggests that they should go with her.

Hazel

• 03:16:14 Not really on Hazel’s radar, I don’t think, so I think she would like…

Luma

• 03:16:17 do.

Hazel

• 03:16:18 she wouldn’t be opposed to letting her go alone.

Luma

• 03:16:20 Honestly.
• 03:16:21 Now that I think about it, I don’t even think Luma said when the interview was.
• 03:16:24 I think one day she just fucking disappears at like six in the morning.

Temerity

• 03:16:28 Hee hee hee hee.

Hazel

• 03:16:28 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:30 disappear six in the morning, make your way to the silver archive, the, the kind of like official, like,
• 03:16:37 main branch library of the
• 03:16:44 of the city of Argentum.
• 03:16:47 Um,
• 03:16:48 Heading inside,
• 03:16:52 Do you get there early or…

Luma

• 03:16:56 Yeah.
• 03:16:57 I feel like she’d be there like sunrise.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:57 at

Luma

• 03:17:00 That’s just what she normally does.

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:01 It’s not until 7:00 that the doors are even opened, so you wait outside for a while.

Luma

• 03:17:07 Yeah, she’s out there just drawing a map.

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:09 The doors are opened at 7:00.
• 03:17:12 Um,

Luma

• 03:17:14 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:15 time for your interview comes.
• 03:17:20 It’s no trouble to let the…
• 03:17:23 The front desk receptionist know you’re there.
• 03:17:25 If you would do that, they’ll lead you to an office in the basement.
• 03:17:30 On the same floor where you guys went down into the vaults, there were a lot of other doors there.
• 03:17:35 they lead you to an office with a basement.
• 03:17:39 not an office with a basement, an office in the basement,
• 03:17:44 Um,
• 03:17:46 Inside are two individuals. One is a human man, dark hair,
• 03:17:52 Um,
• 03:17:53 fine tailored coat.
• 03:17:55 Um,
• 03:17:55 the pants, the pants, nay, the, like, the fancy, like,
• 03:18:01 glasses, you recognize him.
• 03:18:05 Um,
• 03:18:06 as the person who had been talking to Kessa Tumblebrim
• 03:18:10 Uh,
• 03:18:11 immediately before you were fired.
• 03:18:14 The other individual is an old looking,
• 03:18:18 Dwarven man.
• 03:18:20 um,
• 03:18:24 He has a, like, his hair is grayed with age and has a silvery look both on his head and his beard.
• 03:18:33 He’s gnarled and wrinkled with age.
• 03:18:38 He’s sitting down at a desk. He has a couple,
• 03:18:41 he has like a little notebook in front of him.
• 03:18:43 Um,
• 03:18:44 the human says,
• 03:18:47 Miss Luma Drace?

Luma

• 03:18:49 Yeah. Hello.
• 03:18:51 That’s me.

Dungeon Master

• 03:18:52 Please shut the door and then have a seat and we’ll begin.

Luma

• 03:18:55 Okay.
• 03:18:56 - Don’t close the door.
• 03:18:57 step over and sit down.

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:01 Um,
• 03:19:02 My name is Thaddeus Marwin. I am a solicitor with the Lexicon
• 03:19:08 of civil notaries,
• 03:19:10 Um,
• 03:19:11 I am…
• 03:19:12 the
• 03:19:14 Uh…
• 03:19:16 What is it?
• 03:19:18 I am a
• 03:19:23 I am the lead legal counsel for the Synod of the Silver Flame.

Luma

• 03:19:30 Oh, okay.

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:32 And this is…
• 03:19:33 Um, yeah.
• 03:19:35 I’m…
• 03:19:37 Old Stone Archivist Rurik Hulduro will be conducting your interview.
• 03:19:43 about
• 03:19:47 about your unauthorized access to two sections of sealed fault.

Luma

• 03:19:51 I had a work order.

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:53 Yeah, we know all about that.
• 03:19:56 Please just answer the questions.

Luma

• 03:19:58 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:59 um,
• 03:20:00 the the other uh the the human man kind of puts on a smile and says um
• 03:20:08 uh,
• 03:20:09 Thank you for coming, Luma. This is a procedural review. It’s not a hearing.
• 03:20:14 That’s not an interrogation.
• 03:20:16 um,
• 03:20:17 we’re just trying to get to the bottom of what happened. And if any, um,
• 03:20:23 dangerous phenomena or toxins or anything of the like we’re encountered.
• 03:20:29 We’re just trying to assess the damage that resulted from this…
• 03:20:33 unauthorized
• 03:20:36 access to sealed vaults.
• 03:20:39 um,
• 03:20:40 You’re not under arrest, so please just answer the questions as clearly and honestly as you can. Does that sound alright?

Luma

• 03:20:47 Yeah.
• 03:20:48 Sure.

Dungeon Master

• 03:20:50 He, uh,
• 03:20:52 looks down at his notes and he says, uh,
• 03:20:55 To start, why don’t you walk us through the assignment as you understood it. The scope,
• 03:20:59 timeline involved, any supplies you were issued or purchased for it, anything operational to the
• 03:21:04 assignment.

Luma

• 03:21:07 Okay.
• 03:21:08 Uh,
• 03:21:09 fuck where’s my little note?
• 03:21:11 Oh, the note, where’s the note?
• 03:21:13 Where’s the note?
• 03:21:15 Oh, it’s probably because I’m in the wrong fucking… I see.
• 03:21:17 Eh, that’s funny.
• 03:21:20 Okay.
• 03:21:21 Um.
• 03:21:23 Yeah, so it got assigned to me.
• 03:21:25 I, uh,
• 03:21:27 My supervisor, Tessa.
• 03:21:29 It was an official work order from the…
• 03:21:33 the Vaultsmiths, the structural integrity division,
• 03:21:36 Um,
• 03:21:39 and it told me that I was supposed to
• 03:21:42 map out vaults 13 through 16 and vaults 17 through 19.
• 03:21:47 Uh,
• 03:21:49 It had a lot of detail about all of the dangers that I might encounter.
• 03:21:54 as well as provisions for security detail,
• 03:21:57 In case there was monsters and stuff down there.
• 03:21:59 Which there were.
• 03:22:00 But we handled them.
• 03:22:05 um,
• 03:22:09 And…
• 03:22:12 Yeah.
• 03:22:13 I was just supposed to map out the vault segments.
• 03:22:17 and write out details about the structure conditions and infrastructure status and any anomalies or hazards
• 03:22:23 And if I found any sections that were
• 03:22:26 breaches.
• 03:22:27 to other parts I wasn’t supposed to investigate them, which I didn’t because they all looked really scary.
• 03:22:32 So I just noted them down in my report.

Dungeon Master

• 03:22:36 Um, Rurik speaks up.
• 03:22:38 His voice gravelly.
• 03:22:40 Deep.
• 03:22:42 uh,
• 03:22:43 Alright then, you followed your work order.
• 03:22:46 You’re a surveyor.

Luma

• 03:22:46 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:22:48 then talk to me like a surveyor
• 03:22:50 In your estimation, what was the functional purpose of each of the vaults you surveyed?

Luma

• 03:22:56 Uh,
• 03:22:57 Well,
• 03:22:59 Well, it’s 13 through 16.
• 03:23:02 13 through 15 were, um,
• 03:23:04 They looked like forges.
• 03:23:06 Um, for.
• 03:23:08 mass metal work.
• 03:23:09 Production.
• 03:23:10 Stuff like that.
• 03:23:12 Well, 16 was really damaged, so I wasn’t entirely sure.
• 03:23:15 what it was purposed for, but it looked like storage potentially.
• 03:23:19 There’s a few, like, decorative displays and stuff, but
• 03:23:22 I wasn’t really focused on too much on the contents, more of the layout of the building.
• 03:23:26 It’s all in my work and my reports.
• 03:23:29 Um,
• 03:23:30 Vault 17 looked like some kind of like residential space.
• 03:23:35 Um.
• 03:23:36 and
• 03:23:37 I’m trying to remember.
• 03:23:38 17 and 18 were both residential, and 19 was the kitchen.

Dungeon Master

• 03:23:39 Yeah.
• 03:23:41 Yes.
• 03:23:43 Yes.

Luma

• 03:23:44 19 was some kind of a communal space.
• 03:23:49 That’s as far as we went.

Dungeon Master

• 03:23:53 the residential area.
• 03:23:56 What were the conditions like down there?
• 03:23:59 Air quality,
• 03:24:01 And were there any signs that anyone had been there recently before you arrived?

Luma

• 03:24:08 Um,
• 03:24:09 Well, the air quality was…

Iva

• 03:24:10 Yes.

Luma

• 03:24:13 Middling to fair.
• 03:24:15 I brought a bird with me just in case we encountered any hazardous.
• 03:24:20 scents that we couldn’t smell.
• 03:24:22 Bird survived. All good.
• 03:24:24 So I think it’s pretty good down there.
• 03:24:26 We were really thorough about
• 03:24:28 scoping out the whole place.

Iva

• 03:24:28 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:24:29 Um,
• 03:24:30 I didn’t see any evidence of anybody there before us.
• 03:24:35 Look like it’s been closed. I think the work order said about 500 years.
• 03:24:39 That seemed about right.
• 03:24:40 But I mean, I’m not

Dungeon Master

• 03:24:41 with it.

Luma

• 03:24:42 Really?
• 03:24:43 very good about
• 03:24:46 carbon dating or anything like that.
• 03:24:47 I didn’t know that wasn’t my purpose.

Dungeon Master

• 03:24:52 I would like you to make a deception check as you were aware that the Tarnar Syndicate had been there.

Luma

• 03:25:04 Deception.
• 03:25:07 Uh,
• 03:25:10 Seven.

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:11 All right.

Luma

• 03:25:14 Well,
• 03:25:16 She does look a little conflicted.
• 03:25:18 She will add…

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:18 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 03:25:19 I mean…
• 03:25:21 I guess if you count monsters.
• 03:25:24 Bad things.

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:24 um,
• 03:25:26 They kind of look at each other. Rurik writes some stuff down.
• 03:25:31 And as Rurik’s writing
• 03:25:34 The monsters, the bad things you mentioned. Your report lists some kind of flame snakes,
• 03:25:41 um

Luma

• 03:25:42 Oh, they weren’t bad.

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:43 The.

Luma

• 03:25:44 I like Cole.

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:45 We’ll get to that.
• 03:25:46 um,
• 03:25:48 the,
• 03:25:48 uh,
• 03:25:49 Creatures that consumed metal, some animated armor.
• 03:25:53 a flame creature in armor
• 03:25:56 um,
• 03:25:57 Could you walk us through the dangerous creatures and how you were able to, uh…

Luma

• 03:25:57 Yeah, he was scared.

Dungeon Master

• 03:26:02 to deal with them
• 03:26:04 so that you are able to continue.

Luma

• 03:26:08 Uh,
• 03:26:09 Yeah, okay, well the first one was the Flamesnakes.
• 03:26:12 They were in like a pool of of.
• 03:26:14 like,
• 03:26:15 I think it was lava. I’m not entirely sure.
• 03:26:17 I didn’t want to get terribly close because they were a little territorial.
• 03:26:22 Um,
• 03:26:23 I…
• 03:26:23 I noticed that they were munching on rocks and stuff, so I tossed some of the coal that I found in the corner.
• 03:26:30 And they seem very…
• 03:26:32 Bill after that.
• 03:26:34 So then we walked around them.
• 03:26:35 Um,
• 03:26:36 And then in the next slot, there were the
• 03:26:38 the metal eating monsters.
• 03:26:40 They almost ate one of my security guards’ armor.
• 03:26:43 That was really funny.
• 03:26:45 Um,
• 03:26:46 We we had to kill them because they we couldn’t scare them off or anything.
• 03:26:50 Um,
• 03:26:52 And then
• 03:26:53 through.
• 03:26:54 through the pork collar store that they had mostly munched through.
• 03:26:58 Um,
• 03:27:00 We encountered…
• 03:27:01 A dead one that was in front of armor.
• 03:27:04 Probably should have clued us into like potential danger.
• 03:27:07 Um,
• 03:27:07 The armor came alive and tried to stab me.
• 03:27:10 We had to break that down too because we couldn’t get it to stop trying to stab us.
• 03:27:15 And then in the last room,
• 03:27:17 Some of the armor got filled with
• 03:27:19 With like.
• 03:27:21 fire that was alive. It was really weird.
• 03:27:23 Um,
• 03:27:24 Probably should have run after that.
• 03:27:25 Bye.
• 03:27:26 I figured it was going to be really fast, so we beat it up until it stopped moving.

Dungeon Master

• 03:27:32 Interesting.

Luma

• 03:27:32 Um,
• 03:27:33 I was in the Forges area.
• 03:27:35 After that, when we went to the other vaults,
• 03:27:39 Um,
• 03:27:41 TO TALK THROUGH.
• 03:27:42 There was only one encounter in the other vaults, right? It was just the cloakers, right?

Dungeon Master

• 03:27:43 Yes.
• 03:27:45 Yes.

Luma

• 03:27:46 Um, when we got to the kitchen area,
• 03:27:48 - Mm-hmm.
• 03:27:50 There was the cloak.
• 03:27:51 the,
• 03:27:51 the,
• 03:27:52 They’re like, I don’t know.
• 03:27:54 Like flying giant bats.
• 03:27:57 Um,
• 03:27:58 And
• 03:27:59 It was kind of hard to tell
• 03:28:00 At first, because we thought that our light sources were like…
• 03:28:04 Not working.
• 03:28:05 But I think they made
• 03:28:06 Made darkness.
• 03:28:08 Um,
• 03:28:09 And when.
• 03:28:10 I figured it was probably better if we just killed them too.
• 03:28:12 because they were really aggressive.

Dungeon Master

• 03:28:13 - Probably.

Luma

• 03:28:14 Yeah.
• 03:28:15 Yeah.
• 03:28:16 So we dispatched them just to make sure that they wouldn’t cause any problems for us.
• 03:28:21 and the rest of the surveying because
• 03:28:24 We have to spend a little bit of time in each vault so that I could get all the dimensions and stuff.
• 03:28:28 And you can’t really do that if there’s things trying to eat your face.

Dungeon Master

• 03:28:31 uh,
• 03:28:31 Thaddeus looks over to Rurik and says,
• 03:28:35 what do you think, some kind of sorrowsworn?
• 03:28:38 It’s alarming, but I don’t know what else could produce dark Rurik Shakespeare said nah.
• 03:28:43 Damn Darkmantles.
• 03:28:46 come up from below sometimes.

Luma

• 03:28:49 That’s a really good name.

Dungeon Master

• 03:28:52 And
• 03:28:52 I didn’t come up with it.
• 03:28:57 All right.
• 03:28:59 You mentioned you pacified the flame snakes.
• 03:29:02 How exactly did you decide to do that?
• 03:29:05 Why risk it?
• 03:29:07 especially when it turns out you were all quite
• 03:29:09 The security team you hired was quite capable, it seems.

Luma

• 03:29:13 Well, they were the first thing that we encountered, and I wasn’t entirely sure if they were bad or not.
• 03:29:18 I don’t really make it my business to go around killing a bunch of things, even if I don’t really know what they are.
• 03:29:25 They didn’t seem terribly threatening or really willing to leave the
• 03:29:29 the pit.
• 03:29:30 So.
• 03:29:30 when they let us kind of walk around…
• 03:29:33 Without.
• 03:29:34 packing us. I figured it’d be okay.
• 03:29:37 We kind of realized later on that the monsters in the place were pretty bad, but
• 03:29:43 By that point, we just needed to get out.
• 03:29:44 So I noted it down as a hazard.
• 03:29:46 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:29:46 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 03:29:47 in case somebody else wanted to go back in there.

Dungeon Master

• 03:29:52 That was very resourceful.
• 03:29:55 I saw that in your notes, you were very thorough.
• 03:29:58 um,

Luma

• 03:29:59 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:29:59 Speaking of your level of thoroughness, you mentioned that you encountered a
• 03:30:05 Broken portcullis.
• 03:30:07 And that, in your opinion, as a professional surveyor, the mechanism should have been functional and therefore…
• 03:30:15 your authorization would have allowed you to precede
• 03:30:19 rather than it being considered restricted based on the requirement that you do not
• 03:30:24 access any sealed areas, on what basis did you render that judgment?

Luma

• 03:30:29 Well,
• 03:30:30 I noticed that the portcullis had a mechanism to open it on the side like a lever.
• 03:30:35 on both sides.
• 03:30:36 And it seemed to work fine, so it wasn’t a locked mechanism.
• 03:30:40 But the
• 03:30:41 The door itself kind of fell over.
• 03:30:44 Because the monsters had eaten it.
• 03:30:46 So I figured.
• 03:30:47 It was an unlocked door when it was working functionally.
• 03:30:50 Therefore, it wasn’t a sealed access
• 03:30:53 and I still needed to get to the further vaults that I was authorized to search.
• 03:30:57 So I made the decision that
• 03:30:58 If it hadn’t been eaten by monsters, it would have been unlocked and working.
• 03:31:01 Therefore, I could have opened it without breaching a seal.

Dungeon Master

• 03:31:06 Your report is very thorough, but one area that seems to be quite lacking.
• 03:31:11 You were issued 50 gold in payment and stipend for supplies.
• 03:31:16 I’d like you to account for how that gold was spent.
• 03:31:20 Additionally, you were issued a 200 crown security stipend.
• 03:31:26 I would like a detailed list of the security personnel you hired.
• 03:31:32 their names, their guild affiliations,
• 03:31:34 and their individual levels of compensation.

Luma

• 03:31:38 um,
• 03:31:39 Okay.
• 03:31:42 Uh, well.
• 03:31:44 For the supplies,
• 03:31:47 Um,
• 03:31:50 See.
• 03:31:51 I bought…
• 03:31:52 How many people are in this group?
• 03:31:55 to.
• 03:31:55 for you.
• 03:31:57 I bought supplies for, to make four masks.
• 03:32:01 I hired three people.
• 03:32:04 uh,
• 03:32:05 150 gold apiece.
• 03:32:09 I kept the extra 50 because I was going to hire a fourth person.
• 03:32:12 I decided that three was probably fine.
• 03:32:16 And then Luma will note down risks of
• 03:32:20 Temerity and Iva…
• 03:32:23 Insert last name, because I don’t remember him, but Luma definitely would if they gave it to her.
• 03:32:27 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:32:27 Rhys and Temerity do not have last names.

Luma

• 03:32:28 Thank you.
• 03:32:30 Then she will just do Risen Temerity.
• 03:32:33 Um,

Iva

• 03:32:35 I’m not there.

Luma

• 03:32:35 Go, Mark.

Dungeon Master

• 03:32:36 Although at this point in time, Iva would be Iva Carpenter.
• 03:32:39 I think Luma would probably remember that.

Luma

• 03:32:42 Yeah.
• 03:32:43 Um,

Iva

• 03:32:43 Thank God.

Luma

• 03:32:44 She will note that risks…
• 03:32:46 And Iva are unaffiliated with a guild to her knowledge.
• 03:32:51 Um,
• 03:32:53 and we’re just
• 03:32:55 like,
• 03:32:56 Yeah, she’ll have to listen with Unaffiliated.
• 03:32:58 And then she’ll list Temerity as Dragoon in Training.

Dungeon Master

• 03:33:05 Rick, uh,
• 03:33:08 Thaddeus looks at Rurik again.
• 03:33:10 Um,
• 03:33:11 and says,
• 03:33:13 Do you think we’ll need to interview the security personnel?
• 03:33:17 And O’Rurik looks at him and says, that’s going to depend on the rest of this interview, I think.
• 03:33:22 He turns and looks at Luma.
• 03:33:24 At any point during your survey, were you separated from your security detail at all?

Luma

• 03:33:30 No, definitely not. That place was really scary.

Dungeon Master

• 03:33:34 I bet.
• 03:33:35 um,

Luma

• 03:33:36 I mean, well, I guess it depends on your level of separation.
• 03:33:39 They were always in the same room as me, but…
• 03:33:42 Once we cleared the rooms, I usually kind of just chilled out by the entrance and waited for me to get my stuff done.

Dungeon Master

• 03:33:47 I see.
• 03:33:48 um he goes through some notes and he says you spent um
• 03:33:52 what half a day in in vault 17 and 18 the two residential corridors
• 03:33:58 your report
• 03:34:00 Uh,
• 03:34:01 contains a very basic overview of the contents of these areas.
• 03:34:07 You didn’t find any personal belongings, no notes,
• 03:34:11 Uh,
• 03:34:12 Nothing…
• 03:34:14 Nothing that indicated who lived there or anything like that.
• 03:34:18 No documents of any kind.

Luma

• 03:34:21 Sure, there was a bunch of that stuff in there, but that wasn’t really my job to look at.
• 03:34:24 So I kind of prioritized what I was expected to do, which was map out the rooms and the details of the
• 03:34:32 Um,
• 03:34:33 the vowels and the hazards and stuff like that.

Dungeon Master

• 03:34:40 Thaddeus kind of speaks up.
• 03:34:41 He’s looking at his notes and he says…
• 03:34:44 You, in one of the apartments, you make note of a concealed door.
• 03:34:49 um,
• 03:34:50 And on the basis that that door was sealed, your…
• 03:34:55 your report claims you did not enter.
• 03:34:57 I would like you to describe the door,
• 03:34:59 its construction, its condition,
• 03:35:01 how you were able to detect it if it was concealed,
• 03:35:06 and what Sealed meant to you in the moment.

Luma

• 03:35:10 Well,
• 03:35:12 Um,
• 03:35:13 It was a secret Thor, which…
• 03:35:16 I don’t know if you have any notes on the other…
• 03:35:19 instances of secret thurs that I found for this place.
• 03:35:22 But.
• 03:35:23 I got a pretty good knack for finding them.
• 03:35:25 I was…
• 03:35:26 I was using like you know my hand to try and get the dimensions of the wall and I noticed a seam
• 03:35:33 I couldn’t figure out a way to open up the door.
• 03:35:35 And.
• 03:35:36 I mean…
• 03:35:37 It’s a secret door, and it was sealed.
• 03:35:39 And since, based on my prior criteria, if it wasn’t unlocked…
• 03:35:43 or accessible for me to open.
• 03:35:45 then it’s technically a seal and I can’t breach it as part of the
• 03:35:48 dimensions of the work order.
• 03:35:50 but I didn’t touch it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:35:55 All right, let’s go back to the forges. In one of the vaults, you marked a hole in the wall.
• 03:36:03 Um,
• 03:36:03 and said you did not
• 03:36:05 investigate it further. In your judgment, uh,
• 03:36:09 what was likely the cause of that whole, was it,
• 03:36:13 likely natural wear and tear.
• 03:36:16 seismic activity burrowing monsters or or or humanoid
• 03:36:20 work.

Luma

• 03:36:22 Um,
• 03:36:22 I can’t give you an official statement because I’m not entirely sure.
• 03:36:27 based on what I saw down there.
• 03:36:29 It might have been a combination.
• 03:36:30 of
• 03:36:31 seismic activity,
• 03:36:33 and burrowing monsters.
• 03:36:34 because there were monsters present.
• 03:36:36 And it.
• 03:36:37 it would make sense for them to have come out of the wall.
• 03:36:40 So it’s possible that seismic activity opened the wall and the monsters came through. It’s possible that the monsters opened the wall and came through.
• 03:36:47 I don’t really know.

Dungeon Master

• 03:36:49 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:36:49 But those are the two likely causes.

Dungeon Master

• 03:36:51 From this hole, did you detect any particular smells, any particular changes in atmosphere?

Luma

• 03:37:00 I don’t think Luma did.

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:02 Um,
• 03:37:03 From the one that was in the wall, I don’t think so either.

Luma

• 03:37:07 Yeah, I don’t…
• 03:37:08 She’ll shake her head.
• 03:37:09 She’ll say, no, um…
• 03:37:10 It smelled pretty bad in the vault of itself, so it was kind of hard to…
• 03:37:15 differentiate also I didn’t really think about sniffing the hole in the wall
• 03:37:19 I just kind of noted it and avoided it because I wasn’t sure if a monster would come.
• 03:37:22 spring it out of there.

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:24 They nod. Thaddeus goes through some notes and says, you marked an additional hole. This one seemingly deliberately concealed in the residential vaults, or in one of the residential vaults, the kitchen area you described specifically. It was not a sealed door.
• 03:37:42 Why did you not press forward?

Luma

• 03:37:48 I’m trying to remember what that was.

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:48 and investigate.

Luma

• 03:37:49 Was that the…

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:50 the Tarnar hole.

Luma

• 03:37:52 What was the…

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:52 It was.

Luma

• 03:37:53 What about it was secret?

Dungeon Master

• 03:37:53 There was a.
• 03:37:55 There was a cabinet in front of a, like a, like a pickaxed hole in the wall that like

Luma

• 03:37:55 Sorry, go ahead.

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:00 was tunneled into that closet.

Luma

• 03:38:03 Right.
• 03:38:04 Yeah, it was a hole in the wall.
• 03:38:07 that seemed to have been carved.
• 03:38:10 Um,
• 03:38:11 behind a cabinet.
• 03:38:13 Um,
• 03:38:14 It seemed like it could have been monsters.
• 03:38:16 So it felt like it was outside of the bounds of the vault, so I marked it as a potential

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:21 Ah.

Luma

• 03:38:21 Um, you guys.
• 03:38:23 And it,

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:23 Gotcha.

Luma

• 03:38:24 I’ll be honest, that place was really scary and that was immediately after being attacked by things that made darkness

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:28 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:38:28 So I was not looking forward to going to even darker places.

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:29 Um,
• 03:38:31 Of course, of course. I just have a couple final questions and then we’ll…
• 03:38:37 will conclude the interview.
• 03:38:39 First,
• 03:38:40 At any point in your survey, did you encounter any writing, inscriptions, or pre-starful script?
• 03:38:46 that you elected not to copy into the record.

Luma

• 03:38:52 Did Luma include the graffiti on the wall in the…

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:54 I don’t believe so.

Luma

• 03:38:55 official.
• 03:38:57 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:57 I looked for it and didn’t find it, but I’m not 1 million percent positive.

Luma

• 03:39:03 That might have been an overshay, but I will roll with it, because if I didn’t write it down, I didn’t include it, and that’s fine.
• 03:39:09 But let me go look at the… let me see if I can… where is it?
• 03:39:13 Uh, it’s in the party notes? No.

Dungeon Master

• 03:39:13 the
• 03:39:15 The report.
• 03:39:17 I can grab it real quick.

Luma

• 03:39:17 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 03:39:19 I gotta…
• 03:39:20 I got it somewhere.
• 03:39:22 800 billion
• 03:39:25 Obsidian tabs open right now.

Luma

• 03:39:27 Oh, I’ve got my report.

Dungeon Master

• 03:39:28 Okay.

Luma

• 03:39:29 Markson, Hannah, Hazard, including us with the rest monster.
• 03:39:34 Salam.
• 03:39:36 Assumption depth for the firehole.
• 03:39:39 Mark’s Secret, Mark’s Secret Closet entrance within the Tarnar hole.
• 03:39:43 Excluding everything beyond the closet and all the secret tiles are tucked down the doors.
• 03:39:50 about filtration, masks for not needed.
• 03:39:55 Okay.
• 03:39:57 Um,
• 03:39:58 Yeah, there was some graffiti on the wall in Dwarvish, but it was kind of outside of the…
• 03:40:04 the bounds of the--
• 03:40:05 the work order.
• 03:40:07 Much like the details of like,
• 03:40:09 The belongings and stuff in there weren’t really my responsibility.
• 03:40:12 I didn’t feel the need to include it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:15 you know what it said.
• 03:40:17 That was Rurik.

Luma

• 03:40:17 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:18 You have any idea what it said?

Luma

• 03:40:20 Well, I mean, yeah, I can read Dwarvish, but like I said, I was really focused on everything else.
• 03:40:25 I didn’t really read it.
• 03:40:26 I think it might have been some names.
• 03:40:27 I don’t know.
• 03:40:28 It kind of felt, you know, like when you mark, like,
• 03:40:31 Like Luma was here somewhere where you’re not supposed to be.
• 03:40:35 But I didn’t.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:35 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:40:36 pay too much attention to it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:39 Wait, I know.
• 03:40:40 Uh, you’re talking to.
• 03:40:42 All right, I have one last question and then you can go.
• 03:40:46 Um,

Luma

• 03:40:46 OK.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:48 You speak Dwarvish.
• 03:40:51 of your security detail, were any of the members dwarves, or to your knowledge, were any of
• 03:40:55 them capable of reading or speaking dwarvish?

Luma

• 03:40:58 None of my party members were dwarvish, and I don’t think anybody could read dwarvish, but I didn’t.
• 03:41:03 No.
• 03:41:04 No, none of them could read Dwarvish.

Dungeon Master

• 03:41:08 They look at each other and kind of like…
• 03:41:11 um,
• 03:41:13 Consider their notes, look for a moment.
• 03:41:16 Rurik gives Thaddeus a nod and Thaddeus says, “All right, Luma,
• 03:41:20 thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.
• 03:41:24 um,
• 03:41:26 While you have not conducted…
• 03:41:28 While you have not…
• 03:41:30 While our finding currently is that you are innocent of crime, you are still present in an unauthorized area,
• 03:41:37 that is dangerous for you.
• 03:41:40 dangerous access to it presents a danger to the city of Argentum. The sealed forge vaults were sealed for the reason of dangerous seismic activity, which could be triggered by meddling within them and could cause substantial damage to the city’s infrastructure. Sealed residential vaults could contain any number of poisons, toxins, or other hazards unknown.
• 03:42:08 unfortunately,
• 03:42:11 while…
• 03:42:12 We have found you guilty of no legal wrongdoing.
• 03:42:15 You are still…
• 03:42:17 you still should have checked with a proper authority before descending into these vaults.
• 03:42:25 Um,

Luma

• 03:42:26 Paul was so tempted.
• 03:42:28 She stays quiet.

Dungeon Master

• 03:42:30 As such,
• 03:42:32 you’re firing as ordered by
• 03:42:35 Uh, mm.
• 03:42:37 the head archivist of the Silver Archive, Vaestra Wenn,
• 03:42:44 remains in effect.
• 03:42:47 However, you are not currently suspected of any wrongdoing,
• 03:42:53 and you are free to go.
• 03:42:56 If you think of anything else that you discovered during this unauthorized incursion, please reach out to the Silver Archive and inform us immediately withholding knowledge obtained within these vaults.
• 03:43:09 is a serious offense that will be met
• 03:43:13 with the highest punishment available.
• 03:43:17 Do you understand?

Luma

• 03:43:19 higher than getting fired from my dream job.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:21 considerably higher than getting fired from your dream job.

Luma

• 03:43:25 Okay.
• 03:43:27 I understand.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:28 Right.
• 03:43:30 Thank you for taking the time to
• 03:43:32 answer questions, you are free to go.

Luma

• 03:43:35 Okay, thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:38 They both go over their notes really quick.
• 03:43:41 Thaddeus seems deep diving intent into his notes. Rurik gets up and heads out.

Luma

• 03:43:49 Luma will also…
• 03:43:51 awkwardly doing the whole thing where you say like goodbye and then walk in the same direction as
• 03:43:54 somebody.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:54 Uh-huh.

Luma

• 03:43:55 following.
• 03:43:57 Rurik out.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:58 Rurik is indeed it is that
• 03:44:01 exact thing because he is also leaving the building. He isn’t just leaving the room.

Luma

• 03:44:06 Yeah.
• 03:44:08 She’s not specifically following him or anything, but she is technically following him.

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 03:44:12 Uh,

Luma

• 03:44:12 But she’ll head out and head back towards Rhys’s apartment.

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:17 you were able to head back towards Rhys’s apartment.

Luma

• 03:44:21 She kicks the door open saying Rurik Hulduro is an ass.

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:26 This is…

Iva

• 03:44:27 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 03:44:27 Nope, she doesn’t say that.
• 03:44:28 Rurik Hulduro is mean.

Temerity

• 03:44:30 Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

Iva

• 03:44:33 So you didn’t get your jaw back?

Luma

• 03:44:33 Because every bit of a
• 03:44:35 Rude.
• 03:44:35 Butthead as I thought he was.
• 03:44:37 No, I’m still fired.

Hazel

• 03:44:42 Do we have a new hunt?

Luma

• 03:44:42 So that means that I can’t…
• 03:44:44 I can’t ask him any questions about his book because then it’ll be really suspicious.
• 03:44:50 Not that he knows anything.

Temerity

• 03:44:50 it.

Luma

• 03:44:51 He’s a dummy.
• 03:44:55 Um,
• 03:44:56 Is everybody at the apartment?

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:59 Everybody, I think, but Temerity.

Luma

• 03:45:04 Um,
• 03:45:05 They made me list everybody that was marked as…
• 03:45:08 as part of my security detail.
• 03:45:11 So I feel it is important that I inform you that I didn’t include Hazel because Hazel doesn’t exist.

Hazel

• 03:45:17 Hmm.

Luma

• 03:45:18 because you don’t have any documentation,
• 03:45:20 which would cause a lot of problems.
• 03:45:22 So I just omitted you.
• 03:45:23 So,
• 03:45:24 They might ask you questions.
• 03:45:27 Just don’t include Hazel in your answers.

Rhysaene

• 03:45:30 Uh-huh.

Iva

• 03:45:31 Hazel.

Luma

• 03:45:33 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:45:33 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:45:37 You know, just to get our story straight or whatever.
• 03:45:41 I don’t think they’re gonna ask you anything.
• 03:45:42 I was pretty good about making sure that you guys seemed very uninterested in the actual vaults.
• 03:45:48 They’re definitely fishing to make sure that we didn’t see anything we weren’t supposed to, which we totally did.

Rhysaene

• 03:45:52 Yeah.
• 03:45:54 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:45:54 Hehehehe.

Iva

• 03:45:54 -

Luma

• 03:45:57 They were spouting so many lies at me.
• 03:45:58 It was really fun.
• 03:46:03 nonsense about
• 03:46:05 seismic activity and poisons in the air.
• 03:46:08 I know what they’re about now.

Temerity

• 03:46:09 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:46:11 I’m going to get to the bottom of this.

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:11 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:46:13 And I have so much free time.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:14 Well…

Temerity

• 03:46:15 your one mistake giving me free time

Iva

• 03:46:15 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:16 Thank you.
• 03:46:17 laughs

Luma

• 03:46:20 You should have rehired me.

Iva

• 03:46:21 He would.

Luma

• 03:46:22 Then you would have known where I was.

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:22 True, they should have fucking…

Iva

• 03:46:23 Yo, yo.

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:24 They should have hired you and put you to work doing, like, menial labor for the rest of your life.

Luma

• 03:46:26 Yeah.
• 03:46:29 I’m free and I have free time.

Iva

• 03:46:30 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:46:30 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:46:32 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:46:34 Hehehehe. Hehehehe. Hehehehe. Hehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:38 Well, I’ll say I let the hounds loose, so…

Luma

• 03:46:38 But yeah, I wish.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:41 They are dying, Luma.

Luma

• 03:46:43 We should probably tell Temerity to adjust in case.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:46 Oh, when Temerity gets back, we should do that.
• 03:46:49 Spell.

Luma

• 03:46:49 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:49 Thank you, my chicken.

Luma

• 03:46:51 Oh, did you figure out what the ledger was? Because you’ve got to really be familiar with it.

Rhysaene

• 03:46:54 and
• 03:46:56 How?
• 03:46:56 - Shh.
• 03:46:58 Yeah.
• 03:46:59 No, I couldn’t.

Luma

• 03:46:59 We should probably learn more information about your ledger before we attempt the spell.
• 03:47:03 The more familiar you are, the better.
• 03:47:05 It gives you a clear idea of where to put it on the map.
• 03:47:07 Because otherwise, you might just find somebody’s tax documents.
• 03:47:10 Actually, if we do that, we might be able to find some embezzlement schemes.
• 03:47:13 Then we can turn it into the government for profit.
• 03:47:15 That could be my way of making money.

Rhysaene

• 03:47:17 Well…

Iva

• 03:47:18 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 03:47:19 Yeah, that’s kind of what I figured.
• 03:47:23 might be in there.

Luma

• 03:47:25 Ah.
• 03:47:27 Tax embezzlement is serious business.

Dungeon Master

• 03:47:31 -
• 03:47:34 That’s true. That’s true.
• 03:47:35 Um,

Hazel

• 03:47:36 um

Dungeon Master

• 03:47:36 To Merity.
• 03:47:37 Sorry, go ahead.

Hazel

• 03:47:39 No, no, go for it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:47:41 It’s just going to say Temerity.
• 03:47:43 uh,
• 03:47:44 Temerity shows up in the mid-afternoon like they have been.

Temerity

• 03:47:49 Yeah.
• 03:47:50 He he he he.

Luma

• 03:47:51 Marion!

Temerity

• 03:47:51 - Maybe it was.

Luma

• 03:47:52 100-page study plan for you.

Temerity

• 03:47:55 Oh.
• 03:47:55 - Okay.

Luma

• 03:47:57 I don’t remember writing it, but it’s really good.

Temerity

• 03:47:59 I don’t know.
• 03:48:03 No.
• 03:48:04 He gets stumped on the first page.

Luma

• 03:48:04 Oh.
• 03:48:06 Yeah.
• 03:48:07 Also, um,
• 03:48:09 If they ask you anything about the vaults, I omitted Hazel because Hazel doesn’t have documentation.
• 03:48:15 So don’t ever mention Hazel in any interrogations.

Temerity

• 03:48:18 Temerity nods.

Luma

• 03:48:20 That’s it.

Temerity

• 03:48:21 Speaking of Hazel.
• 03:48:24 uh,
• 03:48:29 you wanted to,
• 03:48:32 To spar?

Luma

• 03:48:34 Gonna fight.

Iva

• 03:48:34 Joe, are we going to get to watch them beat each other up?
• 03:48:37 Let’s go!

Temerity

• 03:48:39 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:48:42 Hazel got a squint set to Temerity’s as well, if you want to make it public knowledge, yes.

Temerity

• 03:48:48 Oh, what?
• 03:48:49 up.
• 03:48:51 the man he looks a little sheepish

Hazel

• 03:48:51 this one, thank you.

Temerity

• 03:48:59 laughter
• 03:49:01 I’ve
• 03:49:03 Apologies, I didn’t.
• 03:49:04 realized it wasn’t public.
• 03:49:06 Um,

Hazel

• 03:49:07 No, no, it’s okay.
• 03:49:09 Frankly, Temerity, I think other than the promise of your fang, these dragoons don’t offer you anything that you wouldn’t be able to have with us here.

Iva

• 03:49:20 We’re your real family now.

Dungeon Master

• 03:49:22 There’s also the blessing of Bahamut.

Temerity

• 03:49:24 And access to like
• 03:49:28 A military?

Luma

• 03:49:30 Yeah.

Iva

• 03:49:33 You’re implementing crimes again.

Rhysaene

• 03:49:33 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 03:49:36 Under Hazel’s understanding, she’s already blessed by Bahamut.
• 03:49:40 So, like…

Temerity

• 03:49:41 -

Hazel

• 03:49:42 Can you double bless someone? I don’t know.

Temerity

• 03:49:46 Well, Temerity…
• 03:49:47 Temerity thinks…
• 03:49:49 that,
• 03:49:50 They’re blessed by the Silver Flame, not Bahamut.

Hazel

• 03:49:53 Well, Bahamut’s dead.
• 03:49:54 He can’t bless shit.

Iva

• 03:49:56 dude

Temerity

• 03:49:57 Hehehehehehehehe.

Iva

• 03:49:58 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 03:49:58 - Absolutely.

Iva

• 03:49:59 If you’re a damn court-nipperer

Temerity

• 03:50:01 Doesn’t that make you curious?
• 03:50:03 Yeah.
• 03:50:10 But yeah.
• 03:50:12 I,
• 03:50:14 out of character I know y’all wanted to do the the locate spell so I don’t know when how this all would line line up timeline wise.

Luma

• 03:50:21 We can’t do the locate spell anyway.

Dungeon Master

• 03:50:21 They cannot do the locate spelling yet.

Temerity

• 03:50:24 Oh, my apologies.

Luma

• 03:50:24 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 03:50:24 Yeah, we can’t do it.

Temerity

• 03:50:25 Sorry.

Dungeon Master

• 03:50:27 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:50:27 Sorry, sorry.

Iva

• 03:50:29 Way to bring it up again.

Temerity

• 03:50:30 - Sure.

Hazel

• 03:50:31 and

Luma

• 03:50:33 No.

Temerity

• 03:50:33 laughs

Luma

• 03:50:34 Technically, we probably shouldn’t have even tried to do low-case ball because I forgot you have to be familiar with it and Luma knowing that.
• 03:50:40 but,
• 03:50:40 Risk doesn’t actually know anything about it.

Rhysaene

• 03:50:41 Well, we got it in place.
• 03:50:43 I just need to do some
• 03:50:44 Soul-searching.

Luma

• 03:50:45 Yeah, but Luma doesn’t know what that means, but it’s fine.

Hazel

• 03:50:45 Yeah, I was going to say it.

Luma

• 03:50:49 That’s the only reason we kept it, was because of the potential results of soul searching.
• 03:50:53 But we won’t know what that is until later.

Temerity

• 03:50:55 Yeah, until it happens.

Hazel

• 03:50:55 This is also…
• 03:50:56 This is also why Hazel grabbed the component for the spell clairvoyance, just in case.

Rhysaene

• 03:51:03 Oh

Luma

• 03:51:03 - Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:51:05 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 03:51:05 I was like,

Luma

• 03:51:07 If we find the location of it, you can clairvoyance the location.

Hazel

• 03:51:07 I was like…
• 03:51:10 Exactly.

Luma

• 03:51:12 Reigness.

Hazel

• 03:51:13 uh,
• 03:51:17 trying to figure out ways that we could divine
• 03:51:21 the location of something.
• 03:51:26 I did spend all my money on this component, so better get dreaming, Rhys.

Luma

• 03:51:29 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:51:32 No pressure.

Rhysaene

• 03:51:32 I’m not getting a long sleep.

Temerity

• 03:51:33 Hehehehe.

Luma

• 03:51:34 Uh…

Iva

• 03:51:35 laughter

Luma

• 03:51:36 On the bright side, you could clairvoyance down into the vaults.

Temerity

• 03:51:40 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:51:41 True. That was also something I was thinking about. It’s a mile wide.
• 03:51:45 So I could be clairvoyance into a lot of things.
• 03:51:48 I just have to think about what
• 03:51:50 like what is familiar to Hazel
• 03:51:54 Or what is general enough that Hazel could look into and try to think of it?

Temerity

• 03:51:58 They’re boiling.
• 03:51:59 clairvoyance into the hate aura.

Luma

• 03:52:02 Heh heh heh.

Hazel

• 03:52:03 Dude, I mean, yeah, but I feel like…
• 03:52:07 I feel like the hate aura has to be something…
• 03:52:11 deeper, like it.
• 03:52:12 Because the…
• 03:52:14 the
• 03:52:15 I’m like,
• 03:52:16 I’m getting into the weeds here.

Luma

• 03:52:17 It’s either way above or way below the actual location that we encountered.

Hazel

• 03:52:20 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:52:20 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:52:21 The Clairoint spell specifically says that you can pick something that you are familiar with, or something general enough that you can divine what’s behind it. Like, what is behind a door that I know exists.

Temerity

• 03:52:37 Uh,

Hazel

• 03:52:37 uh,
• 03:52:39 You create an invisible sensor within range in a location familiar to you

Luma

• 03:52:40 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:52:44 in parentheses, a place you have visited or seen before,
• 03:52:48 or in an obvious location that is unfamiliar to you, such as behind a door, around a corner, or in a grove of trees.

Luma

• 03:52:59 I don’t know if the exact distance of…
• 03:53:04 the
• 03:53:06 ledger is enough to be able to like clairvoyance that location.

Hazel

• 03:53:10 Yeah, no, no, absolutely not.

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:11 I,

Hazel

• 03:53:12 But like if if if we were able to understand like a place and like a specific place,

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:18 I…
• 03:53:19 I feel like…
• 03:53:21 exact distance and direction of the ledger would let you put a clearvoyance, like, right on the ledger,
• 03:53:27 the risk you’d run into is that doesn’t necessarily help you.
• 03:53:31 um,
• 03:53:33 If the ledger is like sitting on a table, absolutely. If the ledger is like in a box, your eyeball is in the box.

Luma

• 03:53:39 True.

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:40 um,

Hazel

• 03:53:41 The ledger is…
• 03:53:43 in a
• 03:53:45 in an area full of people who can see
• 03:53:47 invisible things as well, I’d get

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:49 That would be fucking crazy.

Hazel

• 03:53:49 fucked over it. But that would…

Luma

• 03:53:51 Yeah, but they wouldn’t know it’s you. I mean, that’s

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:51 Um,

Hazel

• 03:53:53 BANG

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:53 Demo.
• 03:53:54 Similarly to the hate aura, I feel like you could be like, yeah, I want to put this thing like 500 feet down in the ground under the church. The issue you run into is like you’re you’re looking for a pocket of like space in a haystack that is solid rock.

Hazel

• 03:53:54 Yeah.
• 03:54:09 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:09 and you’re,
• 03:54:10 your odds of actually putting it somewhere useful
• 03:54:14 are very low when it comes to, like, you just, like,
• 03:54:18 you don’t even know, like, how big the hate aura is.
• 03:54:21 You clipped a part of it.

Temerity

• 03:54:23 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:54:24 If I’m being completely honest, I grabbed Clairvoyance as a spell because I think it would fit Hazel a lot, and I had a lot of gold that I didn’t know what to do with, and I wanted to get a spell component from Mama Kora.

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:30 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:54:36 Oh, must be nice.

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:38 I, I,

Temerity

• 03:54:38 He he he he.

Hazel

• 03:54:39 Well, I had 100 gold worth of Spoken Puck.

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:39 I…
• 03:54:41 Also give me an Arcana check.

Hazel

• 03:54:45 Yeah, sure.

Luma

• 03:54:45 about clairvoyance is you could cast it repeatedly so if you cast it on the ledger and it’s in a box
• 03:54:49 the next time you could be like i cast it outside the box
• 03:54:53 Because that’s a…

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:53 10 feet above the last time.

Hazel

• 03:54:54 That is not a graduate study.

Iva

• 03:54:56 Thank you.

Luma

• 03:54:56 It’s generic enough.

Hazel

• 03:54:57 Arkana check of…
• 03:54:59 Sorry.

Luma

• 03:55:00 It’s specific enough for the unfamiliar location thing,
• 03:55:03 because it’s like, such as behind a door.
• 03:55:04 Well, it’s behind the box.

Hazel

• 03:55:07 A natural 16 plus 4 for a total of 20.

Temerity

• 03:55:07 Okay.

Luma

• 03:55:07 Right.
• 03:55:11 Yo!

Dungeon Master

• 03:55:12 Um,
• 03:55:14 While you’re reflecting on all these ways, you might be able to test your ability to scry, a very witch-oriented magic.
• 03:55:23 There’s something about…
• 03:55:25 attempting to
• 03:55:27 divine within the hate aura…
• 03:55:31 harkens back the feeling you had while you were there.
• 03:55:35 And you get the impression that it might not work out well for you.
• 03:55:39 It is…
• 03:55:40 It very much feels like the kind of thing that could be poking something you’re not ready to deal with.

Hazel

• 03:55:45 Yeah.
• 03:55:46 To Hazel, in her mind,
• 03:55:49 what happened when she uttered that prayer
• 03:55:54 at the wishing fountain.

Dungeon Master

• 03:55:56 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 03:55:57 is what’s going to happen when she starts poking at that aura.
• 03:56:00 She doesn’t want anything to do with that.

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:00 Uh-huh.
• 03:56:02 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:56:02 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 03:56:03 She doesn’t know what the what the aura is. She doesn’t know what it does.

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:07 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:56:07 I heard…
• 03:56:09 The thing that’s in front of her is Sarrus one that can be put down permanently.

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:13 Yes.
• 03:56:15 The.
• 03:56:16 the thing you get with your 20 is you get the impression that whatever that hate aura was,
• 03:56:21 it was a very metaphysical thing. It was not, it was not a gas leak. It was something that, that
• 03:56:29 that affected the mind or soul, not the body.
• 03:56:32 Um,
• 03:56:33 and as such, attempting to divine it could potentially be dangerous.

Hazel

• 03:56:39 Yeah.
• 03:56:40 To Hazel, she…
• 03:56:42 Is.
• 03:56:45 Self-sacrificing to a detriment, but not that far.
• 03:56:49 I think that she is just going to…

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:49 Um,

Hazel

• 03:56:52 She would not try to divine the hate aura.
• 03:56:58 um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:59 You can certainly try. I’m just telling you that you as like your training makes you aware this might have unintended consequences.

Hazel

• 03:57:06 - Oh yeah, no, absolutely.

Iva

• 03:57:10 The consequences of my actions.

Hazel

• 03:57:13 Hilfst du?

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:15 um,

Hazel

• 03:57:15 um,
• 03:57:25 but I grabbed clairvoyance just in case
• 03:57:28 Rhys was able to figure anything out and we could
• 03:57:32 get closer to something.
• 03:57:35 maybe being able to see or hear what was happening near a…
• 03:57:41 something as lucrative as sending an assassin to deal with it would you know i don’t know

Temerity

• 03:57:47 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:48 Um,
• 03:57:50 Yeah.
• 03:57:51 um,
• 03:57:54 But your interview is over Rurik Helduro is a meanie.
• 03:57:58 Is there anything else you all would like to do today?

Temerity

• 03:58:03 Uh,

Hazel

• 03:58:03 um,

Temerity

• 03:58:04 This is the first time.
• 03:58:05 The sparring.

Hazel

• 03:58:07 Do you want to do that right now?

Temerity

• 03:58:09 We don’t have to.

Dungeon Master

• 03:58:10 Where will.

Temerity

• 03:58:11 I was just bringing it up.

Hazel

• 03:58:11 - Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:58:12 Would you do that?

Hazel

• 03:58:14 Um,
• 03:58:16 We would have to go pretty far out of the city to do something like that.

Temerity

• 03:58:20 Yeah, into the forest.

Hazel

• 03:58:25 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 03:58:33 Because the sprawl that is the Outer Works is like three miles around the outside of the Hearth Wall.

Hazel

• 03:58:40 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:58:41 um,
• 03:58:42 So you’d have to go at least that far out to be able to find somewhere where you can even start to hope that it’s secluded and not going to have people just stumble into it.

Hazel

• 03:58:53 What’s up?
• 03:58:57 What’s the…
• 03:59:01 traveled with Simpson 5e.

Dungeon Master

• 03:59:03 It’s an hour for three miles.

Hazel

• 03:59:06 So it’d be an hour out of the city before we could even think about

Dungeon Master

• 03:59:11 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 03:59:17 Yeah, it’s like a day trip.

Hazel

• 03:59:19 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 03:59:19 He he he he.

Rhysaene

• 03:59:20 Yeah.

Hazel

• 03:59:21 Would…
• 03:59:23 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 03:59:27 It is also at this point like four-ish in the afternoon.
• 03:59:31 Evening.

Hazel

• 03:59:31 Yeah.
• 03:59:33 I think Hazel would want to do it
• 03:59:35 at dark.
• 03:59:38 So I think that that that
• 03:59:40 that works.

Dungeon Master

• 03:59:41 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 03:59:43 Um,
• 03:59:49 is
• 03:59:50 Temerity’s down to go like two hours outside the city, so it’s like 6pm, a little close to nightfall. If anyone wants to follow them as well, that’d be fine.

Rhysaene

• 04:00:01 I’ll follow along.

Iva

• 04:00:01 I have a would follow.

Dungeon Master

• 04:00:04 um,
• 04:00:05 Yeah, that’s.

Luma

• 04:00:06 Awesome.
• 04:00:07 adventure.

Dungeon Master

• 04:00:07 Huh?
• 04:00:08 Adventure.

Temerity

• 04:00:08 It’s venture.

Hazel

• 04:00:08 - Hey, hey.

Dungeon Master

• 04:00:09 You all are able to make your way out of the city, no problem.
• 04:00:14 It takes about an hour before you’re out of the populated area.
• 04:00:19 The further you get during that time, the more spread out information.
• 04:00:23 people’s houses and become and they become you get more farms.
• 04:00:28 Um,
• 04:00:28 As you start to move from an hour to two hours of travel, you’re six miles out of Argentum.
• 04:00:33 You start opening up to the rolling plains of the Silver Vale.
• 04:00:39 um,
• 04:00:40 It’s easy enough to find like a little…
• 04:00:42 Uh,
• 04:00:43 uh, copse of trees that you could, you could, uh, conduct, um,
• 04:00:48 conduct a little sparring match in, uh, where you’re reasonably sure you’re not going to
• 04:00:53 attract attention, at least, uh, this late at night.
• 04:00:56 um,
• 04:00:57 that,
• 04:00:58 does lead to this.
• 04:01:00 It is 10:40 for most of you.
• 04:01:03 No, not for most of you, for two of you.
• 04:01:06 It is actually not 1040 for most of you.
• 04:01:09 But it is late, and indie combat is a little bit of a time suck.
• 04:01:16 Is this something we would want to say for next session?

Hazel

• 04:01:20 I’m good to keep going.

Luma

• 04:01:21 So he could…
• 04:01:23 to between sessions.

Temerity

• 04:01:23 I’m good.
• 04:01:24 going.
• 04:01:24 Oh yeah.

Iva

• 04:01:25 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 04:01:25 I can keep going.

Luma

• 04:01:26 Yeah, I’m fine.

Temerity

• 04:01:27 We could do it.

Rhysaene

• 04:01:32 Yeah, you can keep going, especially if it’s just
• 04:01:36 What in least you go? I’m down.

Dungeon Master

• 04:01:39 Bye.

Temerity

• 04:01:39 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:01:40 And then allowing me.

Hazel

• 04:01:40 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:01:42 Let’s see if I can…

Iva

• 04:01:42 I was going to cheat.

Temerity

• 04:01:45 Are you going to choose to help Hazel?

Iva

• 04:01:46 Whoever’s going to get it.
• 04:01:50 No, whoever’s losing…

Temerity

• 04:01:52 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 04:01:53 If we see that he’s also missing, I’ll also send out just posts.

Hazel

• 04:01:53 Yeah.

Iva

• 04:01:56 Yeah, we’ll cheat for Hazel.

Hazel

• 04:01:57 it.

Luma

• 04:01:59 I’ll shoot.
• 04:02:00 Temerity. This is it. This is our chance.

Iva

• 04:02:02 I’m just…

Temerity

• 04:02:02 Get her!

Iva

• 04:02:03 This is the moment.

Rhysaene

• 04:02:04 Thank you.

Luma

• 04:02:07 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:02:08 um…

Iva

• 04:02:10 This was all of the trap.

Hazel

• 04:02:10 as they’re like,
• 04:02:12 Tee-hee.
• 04:02:14 As they are preparing to kind of like…
• 04:02:19 to, to,
• 04:02:21 with
• 04:02:21 for what’s happening, Hazel begins to, like,
• 04:02:24 with her…
• 04:02:26 With her long bow, she traces on the ground a…
• 04:02:31 uh,
• 04:02:33 She traces on the ground a circle.
• 04:02:37 Thank you.
• 04:02:38 That is.
• 04:02:39 I don’t know, like,
• 04:02:40 Probably like.
• 04:02:42 It’s pretty big, but it’s basically a sumo circle.
• 04:02:46 It’s 90 feet.

Temerity

• 04:02:48 uh,

Hazel

• 04:02:48 a radius that’s just like, “Okay, well, we can’t leave this radius” kind of thing.
• 04:02:54 um,

Temerity

• 04:02:55 You leave, you lose.

Hazel

• 04:02:57 Yeah.

Luma

• 04:02:57 Well, look.
• 04:02:58 Luma creates title cards like round one, round two.

Hazel

• 04:03:00 Hee hee hee!

Temerity

• 04:03:01 Hey, hey, hey.

Hazel

• 04:03:01 a, um,
• 04:03:04 I would imagine that the circle is imperfect on one edge.
• 04:03:09 It’s slightly bent towards the center because she, as someone who is…
• 04:03:15 who
• 04:03:16 like
• 04:03:17 venerates the moon she can’t help but make a circle imperfect now that the moon is
• 04:03:24 destroyed.

Temerity

• 04:03:24 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:03:25 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 04:03:25 Does this work?

Hazel

• 04:03:27 Yeah, that’s perfect.
• 04:03:30 I don’t expect this is going to last very long.
• 04:03:33 This entire purpose is for Hazel to get absolutely beat the fuck up.

Dungeon Master

• 04:03:33 Uh,
• 04:03:37 I’m also not going to initiative track it.

Temerity

• 04:03:38 Hey, hey, hey.

Hazel

• 04:03:42 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:03:42 So you guys will keep track of your turns and all that.

Temerity

• 04:03:48 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 04:03:49 Let’s get a hazel.

Iva

• 04:03:50 It’s just two people.

Dungeon Master

• 04:03:52 Yeah, let’s get a Temerity.
• 04:03:55 Let’s get a wrist.
• 04:03:58 @aluma.
• 04:04:00 people.
• 04:04:01 I’ve

Iva

• 04:04:01 One Beepo.

Dungeon Master

• 04:04:03 uh,
• 04:04:05 Sage.
• 04:04:08 people.
• 04:04:09 All right.
• 04:04:11 You find in this little section of woods a naturally elevated platform.
• 04:04:18 of stone that
• 04:04:21 that Hazel
• 04:04:23 kind of
• 04:04:24 enhances with a circle of her own.
• 04:04:27 kind of naturally
• 04:04:29 formed by the terrain itself.
• 04:04:35 Why don’t

Temerity

• 04:04:35 All right.

Dungeon Master

• 04:04:36 view role initiative.

Hazel

• 04:04:39 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:04:42 wink.

Hazel

• 04:04:42 Hazel kind of

Dungeon Master

• 04:04:42 Or do you want to banter?

Hazel

• 04:04:44 Hazel has a little bit of banter, I think.

Temerity

• 04:04:45 He he he he.
• 04:04:48 OK.

Hazel

• 04:04:49 the

Temerity

• 04:04:49 Maybe he’s just kind of like stretching.

Hazel

• 04:04:51 Tee-hee-hee.
• 04:04:55 You’ve seen…
• 04:04:57 What?
• 04:04:59 the sorrow does.
• 04:05:01 It twists.
• 04:05:02 mutate.
• 04:05:04 changes.
• 04:05:06 the natural order.
• 04:05:11 I think
• 04:05:12 What
• 04:05:14 I think if you wish to truly face something as
• 04:05:18 unpredictable as the sorrow you must fight something.
• 04:05:24 that operates under similar circumstances.
• 04:05:28 You’ve seen the way I fight, you know,
• 04:05:33 you know what the
• 04:05:35 You know what the shattered mother grants me.
• 04:05:39 So face me.

Temerity

• 04:05:44 Yeah.

Iva

Temerity

• 04:05:45 uh,
• 04:05:47 Hehehehe.
• 04:05:50 Temerity, the
• 04:05:54 Too many nods.
• 04:05:54 Their face gets a bit more serious,
• 04:05:59 but they don’t immediately go into a rage phase.
• 04:06:03 because that
• 04:06:04 Feels uncouth to Temerity.

Iva

• 04:06:07 so fucked up.

Temerity

• 04:06:08 To start out in a rage.
• 04:06:12 It’s my friend.

Hazel

• 04:06:12 true. If you start in a
• 04:06:14 Respectfully, if you started in a rage, I would argue that I could start in Wild Shade.
• 04:06:18 So it’s a good thing you wouldn’t do that.

Temerity

• 04:06:19 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:06:19 Absolutely.

Hazel

• 04:06:20 I can’t do that.

Temerity

Rhysaene

Hazel

• 04:07:08 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 04:07:09 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 04:07:11 True. That’s basically all she’s doing is she’s talking shit.
• 04:07:14 um,
• 04:07:16 But she’s not really trying to…
• 04:07:20 I don’t know. She’s not trying to talk shit to like
• 04:07:24 in an insulting way. She’s trying to talk shit in a motivating way.

Temerity

• 04:07:29 Uh-huh.

Hazel

• 04:07:30 Um,
• 04:07:32 Hazel kind of like
• 04:07:34 begins to
• 04:07:36 to circle
• 04:07:39 Um,
• 04:07:41 And…
• 04:07:42 Yeah.

• 04:07:43 I made sage too small.
• 04:07:47 Um,
• 04:07:48 And she begins to like circle.
• 04:07:52 Temerity a little bit
• 04:07:56 um,
• 04:07:57 And,
• 04:07:58 she kind of like shoots a glance at her.
• 04:08:02 to
• 04:08:03 Uh,
• 04:08:06 to sage
• 04:08:08 uh,

• 04:08:16 Oh.
• 04:08:17 He’s the first.
• 04:08:18 45 feet away. Would I be able to make her be 40 feet away?
• 04:08:22 She was right next to Hazel.

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:24 Yeah, that’s up to you.

Hazel

• 04:08:24 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:25 I just had her in the audience because I didn’t.

Hazel

• 04:08:27 Yeah.
• 04:08:29 Sage basically darts forward like a bat out of hell and begins barking right next to Temerity.
• 04:08:40 Uh,

Temerity

• 04:08:41 laughs

Hazel

• 04:08:41 incredibly loud as Hazel begins to twist and morph her form.
• 04:08:47 as she turns into a dire wolf.

Temerity

• 04:08:53 Gasp.

Hazel

• 04:08:55 Right?
• 04:08:56 What the heck?

Temerity

• 04:08:56 I don’t know what the heck.

Hazel

• 04:08:58 What the heck?

Iva

• 04:08:59 Wait, Hazel’s magical?

Temerity

Hazel

Temerity

Hazel

• 04:09:20 You don’t have to add a

Luma

• 04:09:22 Cyanide is so fucking funny.

Temerity

• 04:09:25 I was literally about to say large hazel cider.

Rhysaene

• 04:09:25 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:09:28 I love, I love this stupid drawing I did. It’s so stupid.

Iva

• 04:09:29 Thank you.

Temerity

• 04:09:33 I love it.

Hazel

• 04:09:35 And I’m just going to quickly add these temporary hit points. We are level five.
• 04:09:41 So

Rhysaene

• 04:09:43 Rhys is cheering like a soccer mom for both.

Hazel

• 04:09:47 Hey, hey, hey.

Rhysaene

• 04:09:47 uh,

Temerity

• 04:09:47 laughter

Rhysaene

• 04:09:49 Some are already guns.
• 04:09:52 And Hazel.
• 04:09:53 Like, what?

Iva

• 04:09:53 I was young.
• 04:09:54 I was yelling things like, hit her in the nose.

Temerity

• 04:09:58 laughs

Hazel

• 04:09:59 She rushes forward at Temerity and…
• 04:10:03 Her teeth are…
• 04:10:06 are bared as she
• 04:10:10 That is.
• 04:10:11 A.

Iva

• 04:10:26 And she crits and does massive damage and Temerity’s dead.

Hazel

• 04:10:28 No.
• 04:10:30 That is a…

Iva

• 04:10:30 Mm-hmm.
• 04:10:31 -

Hazel

• 04:10:33 20 to hit.

Temerity

• 04:10:35 That absolutely hits.

Hazel

• 04:10:38 For…
• 04:10:42 3 plus…
• 04:10:44 Three for six piercing damage.
• 04:10:48 as you
• 04:10:50 Fall prone.
• 04:10:52 and Pierce

Temerity

• 04:10:53 - Right.

Dungeon Master

• 04:10:54 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:10:54 or
• 04:10:55 activates.
• 04:10:57 So let me one second, hold on, once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll that deals piercing damage, I can reroll one of the damage dice.
• 04:11:06 Do I want to reroll a three on a 10? Yes, I do.

Dungeon Master

• 04:11:09 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:11:10 You might take less damage than six, so hold on.

Temerity

• 04:11:13 All right.

Hazel

• 04:11:15 nevermind you take two extra damage for a total of
• 04:11:19 Eight, is that it?

Temerity

• 04:11:20 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:11:20 Yeah, 70. Yeah, yeah. You take eight damage.
• 04:11:23 as.

Temerity

• 04:11:23 All right.

Hazel

• 04:11:24 Um,
• 04:11:25 as essentially Hazel-like…
• 04:11:29 Hazel sends a dog towards you, which then just like barks.
• 04:11:34 And, and, and,
• 04:11:36 slightly, perhaps, distracts Temerity for enough time that,
• 04:11:40 as she turns back to Hazel, a dire wolf pounces on her.

Temerity

• 04:11:45 Hehehehe. Ah! Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 04:11:45 I don’t know.
• 04:11:49 um,
• 04:11:50 Which also knocks Temerity prone.

Temerity

• 04:11:55 Oof.

Hazel

• 04:11:58 which is that is Hazel’s turn.

Temerity

• 04:12:02 All right.
• 04:12:03 Um…
• 04:12:06 The standing up
• 04:12:07 from front provoke attacks of opportunity.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:09 No.
• 04:12:10 It does not.

Hazel

• 04:12:10 No.

Temerity

• 04:12:11 then Temerity stands up from prone,
• 04:12:16 Um…
• 04:12:19 Yeah, I’m going to hold off on that for now.
• 04:12:21 Temerity is going to just…
• 04:12:26 Hmm.
• 04:12:30 If I push you out of the circle, do I win?

Hazel

• 04:12:33 Um,

Iva

• 04:12:33 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:12:34 It’s 90 feet.

Temerity

• 04:12:36 Buck, okay.

Hazel

• 04:12:36 uh, radius.

Iva

• 04:12:37 Thank you.

Temerity

• 04:12:38 So never mind then.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:39 90 feet is actually bigger than this.

Hazel

• 04:12:42 than this map.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:42 area, I think.

Hazel

• 04:12:43 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:45 90 feet is crazy.

Temerity

• 04:12:47 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:12:51 I can make 90 foot diameter instead.
• 04:12:53 So 45 feet radius.

Temerity

• 04:13:00 Yeah, carrying you that way would be crazy.

Hazel

• 04:13:06 This is it.

Temerity

• 04:13:07 Temerity just didn’t want to hit Hazel, but Hazel did bite Temerity, so, you know…

Iva

• 04:13:09 Beyond the fact that it’s not really…

Hazel

• 04:13:12 Oh yeah.
• 04:13:14 And also, like, you know, the Sorrowsworn aren’t going to wrestle you out of the arena.

Iva

• 04:13:17 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:13:18 Yeah.
• 04:13:20 So, uh,
• 04:13:22 All right, Temerity kind of gets a better understanding of this being an actual like test.
• 04:13:28 uh…
• 04:13:30 So as Temerity stands up,
• 04:13:34 the, uh,
• 04:13:37 the…
• 04:13:38 Thank you.
• 04:13:40 the fire that wells within her kind of like flicks across her skin as she enters a rage
• 04:13:46 And, uh, quickly.
• 04:13:49 just brings her, uh,
• 04:13:51 her hammer up trying to swat Hazel away.

Hazel

• 04:13:56 Are you standing up?

Temerity

• 04:13:57 I am standing up and I’m taking, uh, I am attacking you with reckless attack.

Hazel

• 04:13:58 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 04:14:02 Okay.

Hazel

• 04:14:04 go for it.

Temerity

• 04:14:11 or
• 04:14:12 18.
• 04:14:13 No sh-sh-sh-sh-thing.
• 04:14:15 Is 21 to hit?

Hazel

• 04:14:18 Yeah, you know, 21 just hits.

Temerity

• 04:14:21 um

Hazel

• 04:14:23 laughs

Temerity

• 04:14:26 Okay. And then it’s still just.
• 04:14:29 2D6.
• 04:14:33 Right, where’d it go?
• 04:14:36 divine fury.
• 04:14:36 to.
• 04:14:37 Yeah, 2d6.
• 04:14:39 Okay.
• 04:14:40 So then
• 04:14:41 and
• 04:14:42 And.
• 04:14:51 women.
• 04:14:52 It’s.
• 04:14:52 or
• 04:14:56 there.
• 04:15:06 and
• 04:15:07 As he
• 04:15:08 That’s going to be 22 damage, 11 Radiant.
• 04:15:12 the rest bludgeoning.
• 04:15:14 If that matters to you.

Hazel

Dungeon Master

Hazel

• 04:15:25 15.
• 04:15:26 So I’m losing 15.
• 04:15:28 And then, sorry, it was 22, yeah?

Temerity

• 04:15:31 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:15:31 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:15:35 So that’s 15 plus.

Dungeon Master

• 04:15:39 You’re at 31.

Hazel

• 04:15:42 Yes.
• 04:15:43 Thank you.

Temerity

• 04:15:48 And then it’s going to go in for another attack.
• 04:15:58 That’s going to be 11 plus 18 to hit.

Hazel

• 04:16:03 Thank you.
• 04:16:03 One second.
• 04:16:09 Oh.
• 04:16:10 You just hit it.

Temerity

Temerity

• 04:16:17 Oh my goodness.
• 04:16:21 Seven plus.
• 04:16:27 So then 15 damage.
• 04:16:29 No radiant.
• 04:16:34 and then make a constitution saving throw.

Hazel

• 04:16:38 - You can do that.

Temerity

• 04:16:39 DC 14.

Hazel

• 04:16:50 Let’s see, Dyerolf has a plus two to Khan.
• 04:16:54 and Hazel has a plus two to con.
• 04:16:56 Fuck you, dire wolf.

Temerity

• 04:16:58 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:17:01 Yeah, she failed.

Temerity

• 04:17:03 Okay, you are now prone. So Temerity kind of like hits you with the hammer.
• 04:17:07 for a really big blow and then takes a second strike to swipe your feet and knock you down.

Hazel

• 04:17:14 All right.

Temerity

• 04:17:21 And then that’s
• 04:17:23 My turn.

Hazel

• 04:17:25 Yeah.

Temerity

Hazel

Hazel

• 04:18:03 uh,
• 04:18:05 Hazel stands up.
• 04:18:07 And when she does,
• 04:18:09 um
• 04:18:10 the wounds on her body start to
• 04:18:14 uh,
• 04:18:17 One second, actually, let me check.

Dungeon Master

• 04:18:19 um,
• 04:18:21 Hazel.

Hazel

Dungeon Master

• 04:18:23 No, actually, no, we won’t do this here.
• 04:18:25 Never mind.
• 04:18:25 Go ahead.

Hazel

• 04:18:26 No worries.
• 04:18:28 Um,
• 04:18:30 Give me one second.
• 04:18:40 Oh, so I can’t actually do that. Damn, okay. Then I’ll just do the other way.

Dungeon Master

• 04:18:46 Would you like divine intervention?

Hazel

• 04:18:48 We see.
• 04:18:49 Not yet.
• 04:18:54 um,
• 04:19:05 As a, so Hazel will stand up.
• 04:19:11 And then as a bonus action,
• 04:19:14 She’s going to shift back into her…
• 04:19:17 Unormal form.
• 04:19:20 Uh,
• 04:19:21 bloodied as she is.
• 04:19:24 And.

Hazel

• 04:20:49 preparing my spell sheet according to me.

Temerity

• 04:20:53 Hee hee hee hee hee.

Hazel

• 04:20:55 and
• 04:21:15 Yeah, fuck it.
• 04:21:16 Um, Hazel’s wounds begin to close.

• 04:21:24 as she heals herself for it.
• 04:21:44 uh,
• 04:21:49 She heals herself for 25, bringing herself back up to max HP.

Dungeon Master

• 04:21:53 Oh Jesus.

• 04:22:07 And half movement so.
• 04:22:11 Nah, she’s not going to run away.
• 04:22:13 She’s just going to look Temerity in the eye.
• 04:22:17 uh,

Hazel

• 04:22:37 Oh, yeah.

Temerity

• 04:22:42 does drop the hammer and just…
• 04:22:45 Still raging.
• 04:22:46 Uh,
• 04:22:47 is going to still…
• 04:22:49 engage in this bar, but it’s just going to punch Hazel.
• 04:22:52 Hazel’s been disarmed, so Temerity is disarmed.
• 04:22:54 It’s fair.
• 04:22:55 That’s what is going through Temerity’s fugue state mind.
• 04:23:01 Not really, but…

Dungeon Master

• 04:23:02 to

Temerity

• 04:23:07 So reckless attacking.

• 04:23:14 Plus seven.
• 04:23:15 Yeah, no.
• 04:23:16 Fifteen.
• 04:23:16 Fifteen.

Hazel

Dungeon Master

Temerity

• 04:23:42 Yes.

Hazel

Temerity

Hazel

• 04:23:45 of truth.

Dungeon Master

• 04:24:03 I thought zealot barbarians were resistant to radiant damage for some reason.

Temerity

• 04:24:06 Not yet.

Hazel

• 04:24:08 Good.

Temerity

• 04:24:08 I’m at 14.

Dungeon Master

• 04:24:09 Not good.

Hazel

• 04:24:09 Fuck you.

Temerity

• 04:24:10 I’m sorry.
• 04:24:11 That’s going to be
• 04:24:14 us.
• 04:24:16 or
• 04:24:17 As to.
• 04:24:21 So that’s takes.
• 04:24:23 six,
• 04:24:25 uh,
• 04:24:28 Yeah, six plus four plus six, 16 damage.

Hazel

• 04:24:32 All right.
• 04:24:32 Fucking hell.

Temerity

• 04:24:34 for the
• 04:24:35 First punch.

Hazel

• 04:24:36 You really are.
• 04:24:37 You really are God’s chosen.

Temerity

• 04:24:39 laughter
• 04:24:42 That’s going to be the media’s punch
• 04:24:45 is the first one.
• 04:24:48 Um…
• 04:24:52 And that’s going to be
• 04:24:54 8 plus 7.
• 04:24:55 So that’s 15 to hit.

Hazel

• 04:25:01 I’ve already told you that hit.

Temerity

• 04:25:02 Yeah, that hits.

Hazel

• 04:25:02 Maestro.

Temerity

• 04:25:04 So that’s going to be 6 damage.

Hazel

• 04:25:10 Okay.

Temerity

• 04:25:12 Or sorry.
• 04:25:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 04:25:15 One plus… No, that’s seven damage.
• 04:25:17 I did my math wrong.

Hazel

• 04:25:20 So it’s an extra one.

Temerity

• 04:25:21 Yeah, it’s an extra one.
• 04:25:23 And then it’s also an extra one on the other one.

Hazel

• 04:25:23 Yes.

Temerity

• 04:25:25 I didn’t add the plus one.

Hazel

• 04:25:28 Okay, so it’s minus two total.
• 04:25:32 Well, it turns out the Marshall classes are really good in a 1v1.

Temerity

• 04:25:37 Heheheheh.

Dungeon Master

• 04:25:37 early.

Hazel

• 04:25:40 uh,
• 04:25:42 bucket.
• 04:25:44 Um,
• 04:25:52 That was a reckless attack.

Temerity

• 04:25:53 Yeah.
• 04:25:54 So you do have advantage.

Hazel

• 04:25:54 All right.
• 04:25:57 OK, what’s the?
• 04:25:59 What’s the action to draw a weapon? Is that an action?

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:02 You can draw as part of your attack if you’re taking the attack action.
• 04:26:07 If you’re casting, you can still do one as an object interaction for free.

Hazel

• 04:26:13 Okay, so if I cast as a bonus action, it doesn’t matter at all.

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:17 If you,
• 04:26:18 cast
• 04:26:19 What are you casting as a bonus action?

Hazel

• 04:26:22 Healing word.

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:24 Um,

Hazel

• 04:26:24 So if I were to cast Healing Word into True Strike, I could…

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:24 What?

Hazel

• 04:26:29 draw the the i could draw a weapon as part of the true strike action

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:34 No, because that’s not the attack action.

Hazel

• 04:26:35 No.

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:36 You’re casting a spell.
• 04:26:37 However, you still have your regular old, regular object interaction that you can draw it with.

Hazel

• 04:26:43 So I could do.
• 04:26:45 healing word into…

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:48 and to draw into TrueStrike.

Hazel

• 04:26:48 Object.
• 04:26:49 Okay.
• 04:26:51 Okay, so Hazel begins the turn by…
• 04:26:55 casting a healing word at third level.
• 04:26:59 which means I get to roll.
• 04:27:05 Healing word is 2d4 plus spellcasting modifier healing increases by 2d4 for each spell.
• 04:27:12 level above one.

Dungeon Master

• 04:27:15 which was 64.

Hazel

• 04:27:19 Would you give me, would it be okay if I take a moment to grab 64?
• 04:27:26 I have 64 I just need to.
• 04:27:29 search through my tag.

Dungeon Master

• 04:27:29 Sure, while you do that, I’ll be right back.

Temerity

• 04:27:29 Braden Fowler: problem.

Dungeon Master

• 04:27:30 I’ll just be one second.

Hazel

• 04:27:33 Sorry.

Temerity

• 04:27:34 You’re good.

Hazel

• 04:27:36 One, two, three, four.
• 04:27:38 This fucking Caltrop ass dice.

Temerity

• 04:27:41 True.
• 04:27:44 worse than fucking
• 04:27:46 Stepping on a d4 sucks so much ass.

Hazel

• 04:27:49 There you go, there’s 64.
• 04:27:59 Plus spellcasting modifier, so it’s a pretty…
• 04:28:02 I mean,
• 04:28:04 On average, it should be a pretty hefty deal.
• 04:28:06 Is it enough to save me? I’m not sure.
• 04:28:13 Let’s see.
• 04:28:18 or

Iva

• 04:28:18 I give Temerity a second attack.

Hazel

• 04:28:20 a

Temerity

• 04:28:21 Heh heh heh.

Hazel

• 04:28:21 10, 12, 15.
• 04:28:25 15 plus 4, 19, 1980.
• 04:28:28 which brings me back to…
• 04:28:32 33 HP.
• 04:28:37 So I’ll remember that number.

Dungeon Master

• 04:28:40 I’m back.

Temerity

• 04:28:41 Welcome back.

Hazel

• 04:28:41 Welcome back. Hazel got Hazel’s healing word brought her up to 33 HP.

Dungeon Master

• 04:28:59 Okey-dokey.

Hazel

• 04:29:17 And then…
• 04:29:19 uh,
• 04:29:21 As her wounds begin to close, ugh.
• 04:29:30 Hazel
• 04:29:31 uh,
• 04:29:34 Hazel
• 04:29:37 reaches down into the
• 04:29:41 into the cloak that she’s constantly shrugged in
• 04:29:46 and pulls out a silver…
• 04:29:49 glistening in the moonlight sickle.
• 04:29:52 as she tries to cut Temerity down.
• 04:29:56 with a True Strike.
• 04:30:03 four
• 04:30:05 but seeing that is
• 04:30:10 19 total?

Temerity

• 04:30:12 That definitely hits.

Dungeon Master

• 04:30:19 Did you roll with advantage?

Hazel

• 04:30:21 Yes.
• 04:30:25 10 radiant damage.

Temerity

• 04:30:29 That’s just straight through.
• 04:30:31 my rage.
• 04:30:32 So boom.
• 04:30:35 Ouch!

Hazel

• 04:30:37 You should do it.
• 04:30:49 And that is Hazel’s turn.
• 04:30:52 She brings it back to Temerity.

Temerity

• 04:30:54 All right.
• 04:30:55 Temerity is going to continue with
• 04:30:58 just their fists.
• 04:31:00 Uh,
• 04:31:03 Punching Hazel. Yeah. Just going to bring in that straight left hook.
• 04:31:13 uh,
• 04:31:15 That’s 22 to hit.

Hazel

• 04:31:17 - Yeah, that is.

Temerity

• 04:31:20 Oh.
• 04:31:24 laughs
• 04:31:25 Um,
• 04:31:26 OK, so.
• 04:31:27 their team.
• 04:31:29 Let’s see.
• 04:31:30 or 17, 19 damage.
• 04:31:33 That’s the max I could do on an unarmed strike.

Hazel

• 04:31:36 Yeah, that deals a lot of damage.

Temerity

• 04:31:40 um,
• 04:31:43 And then I’m going to go in for a second punch.
• 04:31:54 Perry Kivolowitz: or.
• 04:31:56 a 23 to hit, so that’s going to be 7 damage.

Hazel

• 04:32:03 brings Hazel down to 8 HP.

Temerity

• 04:32:23 And then that’s Temerity’s turn, sorry.

Hazel

• 04:32:27 No worries.
• 04:32:47 - Mm-hmm.
• 04:33:10 Hazel is going to
• 04:33:12 Wild shape.
• 04:33:15 as a bonus action,

Temerity

• 04:33:19 Oh, shit.

Hazel

• 04:33:20 She’s doing it. It’s actually like the lamest way of fighting someone as possible.
• 04:33:24 But like, this is what you, this is what you do. Right. Um,

Temerity

• 04:33:27 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:33:28 So she gains an extra 15 temporary hit points as she, as this time, instead of a direwolf, she wild shapes into a brown bear.
• 04:33:39 Um,
• 04:33:41 who roars into Temerity’s face.
• 04:33:44 spittle, you know, just…
• 04:33:48 Spittle mixed with blood, just like…

Temerity

• 04:33:52 laughs

Hazel

• 04:33:52 Breath attacking, essentially.

Temerity

• 04:33:55 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 04:33:55 Um,
• 04:33:57 as then
• 04:33:59 She
• 04:34:01 uh
• 04:34:04 She casts a spell that she is able to cast whilst in the wildshipping.
• 04:34:08 uh,
• 04:34:12 Now,
• 04:34:13 Don’t get too excited.
• 04:34:14 That spell is…
• 04:34:17 Cure wounds.

Temerity

• 04:34:18 Hehehehehehe.

Rhysaene

• 04:34:21 Woo!

Temerity

• 04:34:22 What?
• 04:34:23 laughs

Hazel

• 04:34:25 Uh, essentially she’s just trying to.
• 04:34:29 you know,

Dungeon Master

• 04:34:30 protect the light screen, protect the light screen.

Hazel

• 04:34:30 Uh,
• 04:34:33 Yeah, that’s basically it.
• 04:34:34 She’s pretty, yeah, yeah, she’s, she’s, she, we’re doing stall tactics.
• 04:34:39 Sorry, Olivia, you’re fighting someone who plays competitive Pokemon battling for fun.

Temerity

• 04:34:39 Hehehehe.
• 04:34:44 Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.
• 04:34:48 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:34:49 I’m expending a
• 04:34:52 I’m expending a second level slot to heal
• 04:35:01 That is 11 plus four for 15.
• 04:35:05 plus
• 04:35:06 extra 2D8.
• 04:35:08 an extra nine.
• 04:35:10 So that’s 24.
• 04:35:11 healing.
• 04:35:19 as once more the…
• 04:35:22 the brutalization that you’re putting down on on on hazel just begins to stitch itself with these
• 04:35:30 the,
• 04:35:32 not only the light of the moonlight shining down and like, essentially like stitching clothes, these wounds, but also just like,
• 04:35:42 what could only be described as like weird druid regenerative shit, you know?

Temerity

• 04:35:47 He he he he, uh-huh.

Hazel

• 04:35:49 As her temp HP bolsters herself.

Temerity

• 04:35:55 Oh, man.
• 04:35:57 laughter

Hazel

• 04:35:58 And that’s my turn.

Dungeon Master

• 04:36:02 Pick up the hammer.

Temerity

• 04:36:03 Ah, yeah, Temerity’s going to pick up the hammer now that Hazel is rearmed.

Iva

• 04:36:04 Pick up the hammer.

Temerity

• 04:36:12 Because this is Hazel’s true weapon.
• 04:36:14 Uh, Temerity’s gonna object interact to pick up the hammer?

Dungeon Master

• 04:36:18 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:36:18 I can do that right? All right, perfect.

Dungeon Master

• 04:36:19 Yes.

Temerity

• 04:36:20 Yoink.
• 04:36:21 And in one fluid motion while picking it up is like twisting around to
• 04:36:27 just bring it out.
• 04:36:29 Bring it up.
• 04:36:30 From under.
• 04:36:31 Hazel to smack her square in the jaw.

Dungeon Master

• 04:36:37 Reckless?

Temerity

• 04:36:38 Yeah, absolutely.
• 04:36:40 Um, 17 to hit.

Hazel

• 04:36:45 - Yes.
• 04:36:47 that is going to be a ties go to the attacker.

Temerity

• 04:36:51 All righty.

Hazel

• 04:36:55 He could roll under a 17, by the way.
• 04:36:58 That could be really cool.

Temerity

• 04:37:00 I’m just mine.
• 04:37:03 or
• 04:37:04 eight.
• 04:37:05 Nein.
• 04:37:07 13.
• 04:37:09 15.
• 04:37:11 17 damage.

Hazel

• 04:37:15 Okay.
• 04:37:18 So that brings me down total.
• 04:37:21 to 30 HP.

Temerity

• 04:37:30 And then I’m going to go in for my second attack.
• 04:37:39 That’s going to be…
• 04:37:41 7 plus 10, 17.
• 04:37:44 That hits, right?

Hazel

• 04:37:44 Yeah, that hits.
• 04:37:47 Yeah, my AC didn’t get higher.

Temerity

• 04:37:48 - Thank you.
• 04:37:49 Hehehehehehe.
• 04:37:52 Bear cast shield.

Hazel

• 04:37:55 Druids don’t get shield.

Dungeon Master

• 04:37:58 I don’t know. You could have had divine intervention, but you said no.

Temerity

• 04:37:58 Dad.

Hazel

• 04:38:02 true. I said not yet.

Iva

• 04:38:06 Just call upon the moon to blind Temerity for a moment.

Temerity

• 04:38:08 13.

Dungeon Master

• 04:38:11 I mean,

Hazel

• 04:38:11 with you.

Temerity

• 04:38:12 God, that’s going to be 17 damage again.

Hazel

• 04:38:20 All right.

Temerity

• 04:38:25 And then that’s, uh, well, you have to make a DC 14 constitution saving throw as well.

Dungeon Master

• 04:38:33 I’ll just point out that, uh,
• 04:38:36 Hazel, unless Hazel wants to move, she’s just going to stand up from prone and it’s not going to,

Temerity

• 04:38:41 Yeah, it doesn’t matter. So we can intern.

Dungeon Master

• 04:38:41 matter.

Hazel

• 04:38:44 Hal Hallstein, Well.
• 04:38:44 No, I failed.

Temerity

• 04:38:46 Okay.

Hazel

• 04:38:47 It’s important.
• 04:38:49 I’m now prone.
• 04:38:52 Because that means that I have to spend half movement to get up.
• 04:38:57 uh,

Temerity

• 04:39:05 This is where you employ the whatever Starry Wisp…
• 04:39:13 uh, kiting tactic.

Hazel

• 04:39:16 No.

Dungeon Master

• 04:39:23 once Hazel can become a bird.

Hazel

• 04:39:26 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:39:26 Hehehehe.

Hazel

• 04:39:27 Nah, even then, I don’t think I would do it.
• 04:39:29 I just, I don’t like that kind of stuff.

Temerity

• 04:39:32 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 04:39:32 It is your turn, Hazel.

Hazel

• 04:39:35 Yes, it is.
• 04:39:50 Thank you.
• 04:39:50 Thank you.
• 04:40:16 of the minds.
• 04:40:17 That’s not useful for the media.
• 04:40:33 - Oh, no.
• 04:40:41 - Yeah, I think Hazel is going to
• 04:40:44 Go out of wild shape.
• 04:40:47 and
• 04:40:55 I think she’s going to, I think she’s just going to put her hands up and, uh,
• 04:41:02 and forfeit.
• 04:41:03 the spar

Temerity

• 04:41:06 Temerity hits her again.

Iva

• 04:41:09 No.

Hazel

• 04:41:09 - Yeah, I mean, you can go for it.

Temerity

• 04:41:10 No, absolutely not.
• 04:41:12 Upon…

Dungeon Master

• 04:41:13 pressure.

Temerity

• 04:41:14 upon Hazel’s
• 04:41:17 coming down from
• 04:41:20 Wild shape and putting her hands up to Temerity.
• 04:41:23 the
• 04:41:25 flames from
• 04:41:26 to Temerity’s body slowly dissipate

Hazel

• 04:41:31 She’ll she’ll she’ll extend her hand to handshake.

Temerity

• 04:41:35 Yeah, Timur, do you want?
• 04:41:36 take it and shake Hazel’s
• 04:41:39 hand and was like good for
• 04:41:40 Good fight.

Hazel

• 04:41:43 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:41:43 Are you okay?

Hazel

• 04:41:46 She kind of laughs at her face and says, yeah, I’m fine.

Temerity

• 04:41:49 you

Dungeon Master

• 04:41:52 Little blood drips down her mouth as she does that.

Hazel

• 04:41:56 uh,

Iva

• 04:42:08 Alright, who’s next? I think I should fight Luma!

Temerity

• 04:42:09 Yeah.
• 04:42:11 gone.

Iva

• 04:42:13 you

Hazel

• 04:42:13 I think you should fight Temerity.

Rhysaene

• 04:42:13 Thank you.

Iva

• 04:42:15 I’ll see you next time.

Luma

• 04:42:16 Aang

Temerity

• 04:42:16 I’m sorry.

Iva

• 04:42:16 laughs

Rhysaene

• 04:42:17 She just lost her child.

Iva

• 04:42:19 Yeah.
• 04:42:19 Yeah, exactly. That way she can hit something that will pull punches because I don’t want to hit Luma.

Hazel

• 04:42:26 - Mm-hmm.
• 04:42:27 I’ll be right back really quick.

Temerity

• 04:42:27 Mm-hmm.
• 04:42:41 Cool.
• 04:42:50 Barbarians are so crazy early level.
• 04:42:52 They just get so much all at once.

Rhysaene

• 04:42:55 Yeah.

Iva

• 04:42:56 What’s giving you the extra 2d6?

Temerity

• 04:42:59 Uh, divine warrior.
• 04:43:04 Or sorry, Divine Fury.
• 04:43:06 The other thing from level three is Warrior of the Gods.
• 04:43:10 It’s basically a zealot’s answer to a frenzy, I think, or not frenzy.

Iva

• 04:43:16 um,

Temerity

• 04:43:18 But whatever gives…

Iva

• 04:43:18 Yeah, it’s Berserker now.

Temerity

• 04:43:19 Yeah.
• 04:43:20 It’s just, okay, how can we have Zealot also keep up in DPS?

Iva

• 04:43:26 By being a tank, you don’t die.

Temerity

• 04:43:31 Yeah, but that doesn’t come till later.
• 04:43:32 I guess also Warrior of the Gods, but that’s kind of…
• 04:43:37 I’m in a weird point where it’s a little minimal now.

Dungeon Master

• 04:43:42 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:43:45 next level, it gets a little better.

Hazel

• 04:43:53 I’m back, sorry.

Temerity

• 04:43:54 Welcome back.

Dungeon Master

• 04:43:55 Welcome back.

Rhysaene

• 04:43:56 Welcome back.

Temerity

• 04:44:02 Um,
• 04:44:03 And it’s like,
• 04:44:05 they walk out of the circle to Temerity is going to like Pat Hazel’s bat,
• 04:44:08 like shoulder,
• 04:44:09 uh,
• 04:44:10 as a
• 04:44:11 It was a sign of
• 04:44:12 Good sportsmanship.

Iva

• 04:44:15 Okay.

Hazel

• 04:44:16 uh,
• 04:44:18 Hazel will look a little confused.

Temerity

• 04:44:22 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:44:22 I don’t know.
• 04:44:24 But
• 04:44:25 She’ll…
• 04:44:26 She’ll return the pet.

Temerity

• 04:44:29 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:44:33 - -

Temerity

• 04:44:36 Sparring is like bonding.

Hazel

• 04:44:39 Me, me, me, me.

Temerity

• 04:44:43 But yeah.
• 04:44:45 And
• 04:44:46 Hope this proved insightful for you.

Hazel

• 04:44:50 Oh, this wasn’t for me.
• 04:44:54 I knew you would eat the crap out of him.

Temerity

• 04:44:58 Perfect.
• 04:44:59 -
• 04:45:03 then,
• 04:45:08 Then why’d you offer to help with my training?

Hazel

• 04:45:17 I don’t know, I guess I expected more.
• 04:45:20 She kind of shrugs.

Temerity

• 04:45:22 Heheheheh.
• 04:45:27 Huh.
• 04:45:28 I did.
• 04:45:29 That’ll live up to your expectations.
• 04:45:31 I can’t have that.

Hazel

• 04:45:32 No.
• 04:45:35 No, you undershot them.
• 04:45:39 Why did you drop your weapon?

Temerity

• 04:45:42 I don’t want to
• 04:45:43 kill you.

Hazel

• 04:45:45 You weren’t going to kill me.

Temerity

• 04:45:49 laughter

Hazel

• 04:45:50 That I can guarantee

Temerity

• 04:46:01 Uh,
• 04:46:04 Well, that was my concern.

Hazel

• 04:46:07 think you’ll be able to drop your weapon against the sorrow.

Temerity

• 04:46:11 loss.
• 04:46:15 No, I’m pretty confident that I won’t drop my weapon against the Sorrowsworn.

Hazel

• 04:46:25 Hazel’s frown groan.

Temerity

• 04:46:25 But you’re not a Sorrowsworn.

Hazel

• 04:46:27 Hazel’s frown grows bigger.

Temerity

• 04:46:29 laughter

Hazel

• 04:46:31 And she just continues to walk.

Temerity

• 04:46:33 fuck what am i doing wrong

Hazel

• 04:46:36 He he he he.
• 04:46:42 You haven’t done anything wrong.
• 04:46:51 But that’s all that I had.

Temerity

• 04:46:57 Ouch.
• 04:46:57 And that’s
• 04:46:58 all Temerity had for this as well.

Dungeon Master

• 04:47:01 Does anyone else want to do anything while you’re out in the wilderness or do you head back?

Iva

• 04:47:10 I’m good.

Temerity

• 04:47:13 I’m already sitting on heading back.

Rhysaene

• 04:47:13 Yeah, I think I’m okay.

Hazel

• 04:47:15 in.

Dungeon Master

• 04:47:16 you
• 04:47:20 You head back.
• 04:47:21 to Argentum
• 04:47:24 Thank you.
• 04:47:26 head wherever you’re going to head for the night to rest and recuperate,
• 04:47:29 especially Hazel and, uh,
• 04:47:32 Temerity, who both had the crap beat out of them one way more than the other.

Temerity

• 04:47:36 -

Dungeon Master

• 04:47:43 Where is everyone going? Is everyone just party at Rhys’s again?

Iva

• 04:47:47 The

Hazel

• 04:47:47 I think so.

Temerity

• 04:47:48 Yeah, Temerity’s…

Rhysaene

• 04:47:48 Awwww.

Temerity

• 04:47:50 Temerity’s scared to leave.
• 04:47:53 Temerity worries that the day that…
• 04:47:55 they’ve been the night in the barracks.
• 04:47:57 It’s going to happen.
• 04:47:58 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 04:47:59 I think at this point,
• 04:48:00 ristle, so
• 04:48:02 set out some more bets for people.

Dungeon Master

• 04:48:04 - Yeah.
• 04:48:05 You set out little beds for everyone around the apartment. Everyone goes to rest, presumably in whichever fashion they
• 04:48:14 prefer.
• 04:48:15 For you though, Rhys, tonight you dream.
• 04:48:20 dream of a beating heart.
• 04:48:23 but don’t.
• 04:48:23 but done.
• 04:48:24 but dumb.
• 04:48:25 and you’re in your apartment.
• 04:48:28 ba-dum, ba-dum, and everyone’s sleeping around you, and you kind of wander out looking for the source of this beating, ba-dum, ba-dum, you go from the bedroom to the hall.
• 04:48:39 But dumb, but dumb from the hole to the
• 04:48:42 to the living room, ba-dum, ba-dum,
• 04:48:45 from the living room to the kitchen,
• 04:48:47 ba-dum, ba-dum, from the kitchen to the stage.
• 04:48:51 There are candles everywhere, dimly lighting the stage.
• 04:48:56 You can’t even see out into the audience, but the heartbeat isn’t coming from this room.
• 04:49:02 You hear it beating, ba-dum, ba-dum.
• 04:49:04 You go backstage into a room full of props, ba-dum, ba-dum.
• 04:49:09 uh,
• 04:49:11 down back behind a bunch of props.
• 04:49:13 You spot a spot in the floorboards.
• 04:49:18 you pry it open
• 04:49:21 There’s nothing inside, but you’re holding something.
• 04:49:24 You’re holding a simple leather-bound book with a simple latch.
• 04:49:29 strapped shut
• 04:49:31 You kind of look at it once.
• 04:49:33 place it down into the little cubby and then cover it with the floorboards.
• 04:49:39 before waking up the next morning.

Rhysaene

• 04:49:45 Oh.

Temerity

• 04:49:47 Oh,

Rhysaene

• 04:49:56 - Goodness.

Dungeon Master

• 04:49:56 And I think
• 04:49:58 I think that is where we will end the session.
• 04:50:01 You can,

Hazel

• 04:50:01 Yeah, I think that’s good.

Dungeon Master

• 04:50:03 You can deal with the…
• 04:50:04 Unless anyone has anything else for the night.
• 04:50:07 But we will pick up the morning next session.

Temerity

• 04:50:14 Not Temerity.

Hazel

• 04:50:14 No, I’m good.

Iva

• 04:50:15 No.

Dungeon Master

• 04:50:18 All right, then.
• 04:50:19 Um,
• 04:50:20 Thank you all for playing.

Rhysaene

• 04:50:22 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:50:22 - Yeah, thank you for running.

Hazel

• 04:50:23 Yeah, of course. Thank you for reading.

Iva

• 04:50:23 - Yeah, thanks for having me.

Rhysaene

• 04:50:24 Yes, of course.
• 04:50:28 gagged every session.

Temerity

• 04:50:31 Hehehehehe, uh-huh.

Hazel

• 04:50:31 astrological.

Rhysaene

• 04:50:33 So I’m so happy for this.
• 04:50:37 I hear you all kick up.

Dungeon Master

• 04:50:39 - Yeah, I’m good.

Temerity

• 04:50:44 Oh.
• 04:50:46 God, it’s so hot.
• 04:50:55 Um,
