Temerity

• 00:00:00 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 00:00:01 Thank you.
• 00:00:02 I was just
• 00:00:04 Distaste, that spell is always prepared.

Luma

• 00:00:07 Hell yeah, you should prepare Skywrite to really fuck with
• 00:00:10 people.
• 00:00:10 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:13 - Oh God, that’s a great way to cause like an inquisition.

Hazel

• 00:00:17 It should be like it’s me, Bahamut. Fuck you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:24 Alright, we’re beginning.
• 00:00:26 I’ve started the recording
• 00:00:28 Um,

Iva

• 00:00:30 I’ve begun recording.

Hazel

• 00:00:31 Fuck shit, piss, fuck.
• 00:00:33 Now you can’t upload it to YouTube.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:34 Got you.
• 00:00:36 All right.
• 00:00:38 Who would like to do a session recap, just, just stuff that
• 00:00:43 ’s like
• 00:00:43 recap that gives us to where we’re starting. It doesn’t
• 00:00:45 have to be a point-by-point of everything that happened.

Rhysaene

• 00:00:51 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:00:53 Would anyone like to?
• 00:00:53 If not, I’ll do it.
• 00:00:56 Thank you.

Hazel

• 00:00:56 Uh, I,
• 00:00:58 I can’t right now just because I’m
• 00:01:01 trying to
• 00:01:02 eat food as fast as possible, so I’m not

Rhysaene

• 00:01:06 I’m in that same situation.
• 00:01:07 I’m sorry.

Temerity

• 00:01:08 All right.
• 00:01:10 I can give a quick.
• 00:01:10 Overview.
• 00:01:11 especially who doesn’t have
• 00:01:12 to be point by point so um last session we had miles quick
• 00:01:19 step in our uh in our possession um we turned him in
• 00:01:24 We talked to Julia…
• 00:01:28 Valerius as our
• 00:01:32 point of contact for that.
• 00:01:33 She seemed off.
• 00:01:37 We…
• 00:01:39 kind of went our separate ways
• 00:01:41 at that point, the party and
• 00:01:43 Temerity, of course, because I’m talking
• 00:01:45 for myself.
• 00:01:47 Um,
• 00:01:48 went their separate ways for most of the session
• 00:01:52 uh,
• 00:01:53 The group went to a tavern.
• 00:01:56 Did I not write it down?
• 00:01:58 No, I did. The Sterling Sovereign.
• 00:02:00 I’m
• 00:02:03 They went to the tavern, the Sterling Sovereign,
• 00:02:08 and got a private room, drank, chatted about what they were
• 00:02:14 going to do with
• 00:02:14 regards to Temerity.
• 00:02:16 Um,
• 00:02:20 In the middle of that conversation,
• 00:02:22 realized that they…
• 00:02:25 had used…
• 00:02:29 Marcus Valerius.
• 00:02:31 A light warden who was mysteriously removed from the light
• 00:02:38 wardens about a couple months ago.
• 00:02:42 Um
• 00:02:46 And…
• 00:02:49 Fuck, it’s so much harder to not do it point by point for
• 00:02:52 me.
• 00:02:52 Um…
• 00:03:00 That kind of, sorry, Iva used Marcus Valerius as the for
• 00:03:06 gery of
• 00:03:07 for
• 00:03:08 uh,
• 00:03:09 Brundun’s transfer,
• 00:03:11 Um…
• 00:03:13 And that has opened a huge can of worms for Iva that,
• 00:03:19 kind of
• 00:03:21 can potentially bite all of us in the ass due to that
• 00:03:24 because of our associations with Iva.
• 00:03:27 Um,
• 00:03:30 Um…
• 00:03:31 But it’s mostly because Iva’s mom is magic.
• 00:03:34 And
• 00:03:40 That became a big point for Iva.
• 00:03:42 Temerity joined back with the group.
• 00:03:44 we
• 00:03:45 Talked.
• 00:03:46 Temerity struck a kind of a chord with everybody and was
• 00:03:49 like,
• 00:03:50 all right,
• 00:03:50 I’m willing to overlook this,
• 00:03:51 uh,
• 00:03:53 due to a conversation that they had with the Dragoon.
• 00:03:57 kind of
• 00:03:59 recontextualizing a lot of things for them
• 00:04:02 Um,
• 00:04:07 And
• 00:04:10 I have a brought up…
• 00:04:14 the thing with her mom and with
• 00:04:16 the potential of Iva getting in trouble.
• 00:04:19 And we all kind of agreed to help smuggle Iva’s mom out of
• 00:04:24 the city for at least the bare minimum.
• 00:04:27 of self-preservation, but also most likely a bunch of other
• 00:04:31 motivations that each character has.
• 00:04:35 Uh…
• 00:04:37 and
• 00:04:41 Hazel worked that out and yeah, right now we’re basically
• 00:04:44 on that aftermath.
• 00:04:46 Is that brief enough? Should I have been more detailed?

Dungeon Master

• 00:04:49 You…
• 00:04:52 You could have been less detailed, and it would have been
• 00:04:54 fine.
• 00:04:54 But that’s a very good overview.
• 00:04:58 The couple things I will add is in addition to escorting
• 00:05:03 Anthusa Toguri back to her promised safe haven in Silverth
• 00:05:10 orne.
• 00:05:10 Hazel was given an additional task,
• 00:05:12 which was to get the ritual reagents back
• 00:05:14 as quickly as possible.
• 00:05:16 She was told that things with the Sorrow
• 00:05:18 have gotten much worse.
• 00:05:20 since she left.
• 00:05:22 Um,
• 00:05:23 On top of that,
• 00:05:24 Um,
• 00:05:25 We begin the next, the morning after this, sorry, what
• 00:05:31 Bruce?

Iva

• 00:05:31 I was a thief, sorry.

Dungeon Master

• 00:05:32 Nope.
• 00:05:33 We begin the morning after
• 00:05:35 Um, this kind of like final, uh, accord of, of various
• 00:05:40 interests was reached.
• 00:05:42 Um,
• 00:05:43 Temerity.
• 00:05:45 head back to the Order of the Lantern Barracks and after a
• 00:05:49 brief conversation,
• 00:05:52 trying to figure out if she even could leave to do this
• 00:05:55 was essentially told that her
• 00:05:58 - Okay.
• 00:05:59 Her position is currently a little up in the air,
• 00:06:02 specifically
• 00:06:04 Cassia Brightshield would relay that…
• 00:06:08 At the request of the Dragoons, and I’ll get a specific
• 00:06:12 name real quick.

Temerity

• 00:06:14 Is it wireless?

Dungeon Master

• 00:06:15 No.

Temerity

• 00:06:16 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:06:18 Um,
• 00:06:20 Uh-uh.
• 00:06:23 Cassia Brightshield would relay that she received a request
• 00:06:26 from Canary
• 00:06:28 A canary of the dragoons
• 00:06:32 named Lia Amakiir.
• 00:06:36 Um,
• 00:06:37 that,
• 00:06:39 the process of transferring to Temerity’s like
• 00:06:42 training over to the dragoons
• 00:06:44 begin. And while that
• 00:06:47 paperwork is getting done, Temerity has kind of got nothing
• 00:06:50 to do.

Temerity

• 00:06:51 Okay.
• 00:06:52 Oh, shit. Okay, so Temerity is, like,
• 00:06:57 The door’s open for that.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:00 The door’s in the process of opening.

Temerity

• 00:07:02 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:03 - Okay.
• 00:07:06 the dragoons aren’t really like forthright about their
• 00:07:08 operations so literally it was just uh hey um
• 00:07:13 we want this recruit.
• 00:07:15 We want that one.
• 00:07:15 That one’s ours now.

Temerity

• 00:07:18 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:20 And that’s basically all you know about it so far.
• 00:07:23 Is that a Dragoon, a golden canary of the Dragoons called
• 00:07:27 Lia Amakir…
• 00:07:28 um, sent in the request.
• 00:07:30 - Thank you.

Temerity

• 00:07:31 Gotcha.

Dungeon Master

• 00:07:32 um,
• 00:07:33 Meanwhile, Luma, reluctantly, you asked for time off,
• 00:07:37 terrified that it’s going to make you look bad, that it
• 00:07:40 might be denied.
• 00:07:41 The reality is…
• 00:07:43 very different to what Luma expects your supervisor,
• 00:07:49 the surveyor who kind of oversees your work.
• 00:07:53 - It’s like,
• 00:07:54 She’s just ecstatic that you’re taking time for yourself.

Temerity

• 00:07:58 Absolutely.

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:00 And your time off is granted, no problem.
• 00:08:04 Both of these things would happen early on the morning of
• 00:08:07 the 26th of Coldrise.
• 00:08:11 which leaves you all, I believe,
• 00:08:15 Luma also was planning on waiting outside of someone’s
• 00:08:19 house that morning too.
• 00:08:21 Thank you.
• 00:08:22 I think it was Rhys’s.

Luma

• 00:08:25 - Fuck, I forgot about that.

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:28 That’s…
• 00:08:29 uh,
• 00:08:30 that was a planned thing
• 00:08:33 so if you want to approach that differently or not
• 00:08:35 that’s up to you
• 00:08:36 but we’ve gotten the bookkeeping out of the way
• 00:08:38 of the people who had reasons they couldn’t leave
• 00:08:41 and now it’s just a matter of
• 00:08:43 Who’s where, who’s still got stuff to do
• 00:08:45 or where are people heading to meet up?

Luma

• 00:08:48 - Did we agree on like a meetup time or anything?
• 00:08:52 as like a whole group?

Dungeon Master

• 00:08:53 - I don’t know.

Luma

• 00:08:56 I don’t.

Hazel

• 00:08:59 - I have a map that tells me where everyone is.
• 00:09:02 - That’s true.
• 00:09:02 - That’s what we were going to use.
• 00:09:05 but i’m not actually sure i don’t think we did not set like
• 00:09:09 a oh yeah i don’t think we set a spot sorry
• 00:09:13 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:09:15 I don’t believe you actually
• 00:09:17 set that up, but you very easily could have
• 00:09:22 I don’t know.
• 00:09:22 could have agreed to meet
• 00:09:24 at Luma’s apartment.
• 00:09:26 Is probably the, the, the.
• 00:09:29 the easiest
• 00:09:31 But if you all would rather meet somewhere else,
• 00:09:34 I just recommend not, like…
• 00:09:37 dwelling on it too long.
• 00:09:39 There’s not really a reason to…

Temerity

• 00:09:41 I’d say Luma’s apartment, yeah.
• 00:09:44 At some point…
• 00:09:45 during our thing.
• 00:09:47 I guess we could have just set that up as a mating spot

Hazel

• 00:09:51 Luma’s boss was like
• 00:09:53 I’m glad you’re taking time for yourself
• 00:09:54 and then Luma’s like no I’m taking time for other people

Luma

• 00:09:57 I didn’t want to interrupt Kat’s narration
• 00:10:01 that’s exactly what she was thinking
• 00:10:07 It’s not for me.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:09 For me, it’s for other people.
• 00:10:11 What game art light up? Who’s causing trouble? Sorry. Um,
• 00:10:16 Thank you.

Iva

• 00:10:18 I don’t want to interrupt you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:10:20 flow.
• 00:10:23 you all are able to meet that morning at Luma’s apartment.
• 00:10:27 Um, no problem.
• 00:10:31 Would I have my mother with me?
• 00:10:33 You, I would assume so, but that’s a you thing, not a me

Iva

• 00:10:37 thing.
• 00:10:37 I was more of saying like it’s just like the like we’re pre

Temerity

• 00:10:43 pping to leave.
• 00:10:43 Yeah.

Iva

• 00:10:43 Yeah.

Temerity

• 00:10:45 Yeah, we’re about to bounce.

Iva

• 00:10:50 Then, yeah, I would have my mom.
• 00:10:54 Also, please don’t type anything right now.

Rhysaene

• 00:10:56 I have a small question.
• 00:10:58 We would have long rested, by the way, right?

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:01 Yes, you all did indeed get a long rest.
• 00:11:05 - Woo!

Rhysaene

• 00:11:07 Thank you.

Hazel

• 00:11:09 when
• 00:11:11 Hazel reaches Luma’s apartment.
• 00:11:15 um,
• 00:11:18 she’s going to seem a little antsy.

Luma

• 00:11:24 - Yeah.
• 00:11:26 There is a ridiculous amount of food already set out.
• 00:11:29 Luma is running all over the place prepping, but let’s haz
• 00:11:34 el in.
• 00:11:34 at some point in her like flurry of running around packing
• 00:11:37 shit.

Dungeon Master

• 00:11:39 Yay!

Luma

• 00:11:40 uh,
• 00:11:42 There is a bag open in the center of her apartment and she
• 00:11:45 is currently filling her bag with her apartment.
• 00:11:48 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 00:11:51 Hazel and Hazel and Sage.
• 00:11:54 accompanying her uh get inside and she probably just her
• 00:11:58 and the dog just kind of eat as much as they can
• 00:12:02 while also saving enough for others.

Temerity

• 00:12:06 Yeah, I feel like Temerity would show up pretty early, very
• 00:12:10 --
• 00:12:12 serious no not super serious yeah a little serious um

Rhysaene

• 00:12:21 Yeah, I guess I would…
• 00:12:23 I guess we would have shown up.
• 00:12:25 Early.
• 00:12:26 Um…
• 00:12:28 I would have.
• 00:12:29 I’ll look to buy a
• 00:12:32 a shield as well.
• 00:12:36 Um…
• 00:12:37 from a smoothie or something.

Dungeon Master

• 00:12:39 - Yeah, one second.

Iva

• 00:12:45 There’s no shield sold here.
• 00:12:48 or gentle, it’s a peaceful place.
• 00:12:50 - I don’t know.
• 00:12:50 - The buttons are banned.

Hazel

• 00:12:53 The second day I was here, someone did terrorism.
• 00:12:57 That’s true.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:01 Um, shield.

Temerity

• 00:13:03 Listen, that’s just recency bias.

Dungeon Master

• 00:13:06 Um…
• 00:13:09 You kind of head out around town.
• 00:13:13 There are a couple of smithies in Argentum
• 00:13:16 um,
• 00:13:17 Thank you.
• 00:13:18 Sorry, I’m pulling notes.
• 00:13:20 Um,
• 00:13:26 smithies and kind of places where you could find
• 00:13:31 like a shield.
• 00:13:33 Um,
• 00:13:35 The two…
• 00:13:36 The two, they’re two kind of near each other.
• 00:13:40 I guess I’m gonna swap the map.
• 00:13:42 um,
• 00:13:53 In the.
• 00:13:55 Hearth Wall. There are two smithies
• 00:13:57 that are kind of near each other. Not smithies,
• 00:13:59 but places where you could get something like this.
• 00:14:02 There’s a
• 00:14:03 Silverite Tools and Tackle
• 00:14:06 it’s a
• 00:14:08 like a narrow, soot-stained, it is a smithy, sorry,
• 00:14:15 kind of just, not grimy, but like,
• 00:14:18 It’s hard to keep a smithy clean.
• 00:14:22 Um,
• 00:14:23 It’s a smaller shop.
• 00:14:25 Um,
• 00:14:27 in the, I want to say the, um,
• 00:14:30 though, um,
• 00:14:32 Western Hearth Wall.
• 00:14:35 Um,

Rhysaene

• 00:14:42 Oh, okay.

Dungeon Master

• 00:14:44 Yeah.
• 00:14:45 Ah, sorry.
• 00:14:46 the Northwestern Hearth Wall.
• 00:14:48 And they have shields among other things.
• 00:14:51 um
• 00:14:53 you know that their prices tend to be a little higher
• 00:14:55 because they are
• 00:14:57 um,
• 00:15:00 They’re producing, it’s a shop run by one guy,
• 00:15:05 the Smith makes the tools and runs the shop.
• 00:15:08 And their gear is known to be like of decent quality,
• 00:15:12 but they’re a little pricier.
• 00:15:15 You also know of another shop
• 00:15:17 that is near their Sterling Outfitters and Expeditionary.
• 00:15:23 much larger, cleaner shop
• 00:15:25 Um,
• 00:15:27 where you know the price is to be lower.

Temerity

• 00:15:31 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:15:35 But you’ve never been there personally.
• 00:15:39 We’ve probably been to either…
• 00:15:41 I don’t know that risks would have like probably been to a
• 00:15:45 smithy
• 00:15:45 No.

Rhysaene

• 00:15:45 -
• 00:15:47 - She’s on the type that, oh,
• 00:15:50 looking for that sort of thing.
• 00:15:52 But, um…
• 00:15:55 We’ll get to the…
• 00:15:57 Who gets to the lower end one?
• 00:16:00 We’ll see what that’s like.

Dungeon Master

• 00:16:03 the
• 00:16:04 - The…
• 00:16:06 So the lower end one could mean, do you mean the one where
• 00:16:09 the goods are cheaper or the one that’s more like…
• 00:16:12 - “Smaller” to be.
• 00:16:13 Yeah, so you had that sterling…
• 00:16:16 Outfitters and Expeditionary.
• 00:16:18 It is a large, brightly lit…
• 00:16:23 um,
• 00:16:24 shop.
• 00:16:25 that’s kind of built into a warehouse almost,
• 00:16:29 Um, the doors are open.
• 00:16:30 There’s, uh,
• 00:16:32 There’s people coming in and out already, even this early
• 00:16:34 in the morning.
• 00:16:34 And almost immediately as you go in, you see someone you
• 00:16:38 recognize.
• 00:16:40 Um,
• 00:16:41 you see a kind of greeting people at the door,
• 00:16:45 Of this of this large like warehouse turned storefront is
• 00:16:49 Miri Wetherlite dressed in a uniform of green and silver
• 00:16:54 with a little emblem of the two hands kind of pointed down
• 00:16:58 one closed and one open, just emblazoned on the breast.
• 00:17:04 and she’s
• 00:17:06 just kind of
• 00:17:08 out front.
• 00:17:09 But just…
• 00:17:10 cheery greeting people. Hello,
• 00:17:12 come on in. We’ve got
• 00:17:14 We’ve got…
• 00:17:15 got everything you could possibly need. We’ve got tools, we
• 00:17:19 ’ve got simple weapons, we’ve got
• 00:17:21 clothes for
• 00:17:23 formal and informal occasion
• 00:17:26 just that kind of pitch and she
• 00:17:28 Um,
• 00:17:29 Upon turning and seeing you
• 00:17:31 um.
• 00:17:33 Give me an insight check.

Rhysaene

• 00:17:40 Watch me roll in that one and I’m going to be like, oh god,
• 00:17:43 she wants me dead.

Dungeon Master

• 00:17:45 She’s going to kill you.

Rhysaene

• 00:17:47 - She’s going to kill me in my sleep.
• 00:17:51 I have that outage blast immediately.
• 00:17:54 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 00:18:08 - Uh, 13.
• 00:18:11 When she sees you,
• 00:18:13 Um,
• 00:18:14 She puts on a big smile.
• 00:18:16 Does the, oh, it’s nice to see you again.
• 00:18:19 Um,
• 00:18:21 Welcome to Sterling Outfitters and Expeditionary.
• 00:18:24 We have everything you could possibly need
• 00:18:26 and goes into the spiel.
• 00:18:27 But before the smile, there’s a split second
• 00:18:30 where you see something else on her face.
• 00:18:32 Almost like a little bit like she turns her head down.
• 00:18:35 Thank you.
• 00:18:36 Before turning back up to like…
• 00:18:39 to greet you where she looks like
• 00:18:42 Maybe a little sad and ashamed.
• 00:18:48 but quickly like throws that aside.
• 00:18:50 And is there something I can help you find today?

Rhysaene

• 00:18:55 Hey there.
• 00:18:56 Um,
• 00:18:59 Nice to see you again.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:01 She smiles and says, it’s nice to see you too. Um, I’m,
• 00:19:05 I’m sorry about what happened to the sign you made it. Um,
• 00:19:11 She trails off.
• 00:19:11 But no, no, no, no.
• 00:19:13 You’re here to buy something.
• 00:19:16 So if I can find it.

Rhysaene

• 00:19:19 Um…
• 00:19:21 Well, I was just looking for a shield.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:24 Um, I think we have some, sorry.

Rhysaene

• 00:19:27 Not really, I hope it.

Dungeon Master

• 00:19:29 Um,
• 00:19:31 Almost, it is a kind of, it is a, we’ll make that an end
• 00:19:34 character.
• 00:19:35 She does kind of cut you off.
• 00:19:37 Oh, shields, yeah.
• 00:19:40 Um, we’ve got a couple, some wooden with, um, metal fi
• 00:19:43 xtures, um, all very nice.
• 00:19:46 Um,
• 00:19:47 she, she starts walking to, uh, like an, like it, this shop
• 00:19:52 is, is large and set up like
• 00:19:54 aisle structure. It’s not just like a little tiny room with
• 00:19:57 a counter. Um, like you might
• 00:19:59 be accustomed to with
• 00:20:02 like,
• 00:20:03 setting appropriate shops. It is very
• 00:20:06 almost modern in a sense, and she takes you back
• 00:20:10 to an area
• 00:20:11 Um,
• 00:20:12 And as you get back, you can see that there’s like a door
• 00:20:15 in the wall.
• 00:20:15 And from that door, you hear the sound of metalworking and
• 00:20:19 smithing coming from a room or something.
• 00:20:23 annex to this main warehouse, but…
• 00:20:26 In this building, there’s a section of wall with shields
• 00:20:32 hanging on it in various colors.
• 00:20:35 Um, it’s mostly like wood and wood with metal fixtures
• 00:20:38 painted different colors.
• 00:20:40 Um, but each and every shield, not, not.
• 00:20:43 Not covering the whole thing like a family emblem or like a
• 00:20:48 symbol of, like, military allegiance would be.
• 00:20:51 Just a small, painted on in the bottom point of the, like
• 00:20:55 …
• 00:20:57 bottom point of the shield is that same like two hands
• 00:21:00 pointed down

Rhysaene

• 00:21:02 - Oh.
• 00:21:04 Okay.
• 00:21:06 Can I?
• 00:21:08 I don’t know how I’d be able to do this or, like, slave
• 00:21:10 this.
• 00:21:11 Would I be able to, like, make an arcana check to see if it
• 00:21:13 ’s, like, an arcane seal?

Dungeon Master

• 00:21:16 Um,
• 00:21:17 you
• 00:21:18 Do not have to do that.
• 00:21:19 you recognize the symbol.
• 00:21:22 It is the crest of House Sterling.
• 00:21:26 uh,
• 00:21:27 which you are familiar with already.
• 00:21:32 It is their family crest.

Rhysaene

• 00:21:35 Ah, I see.

Dungeon Master

• 00:21:37 Painted on the shield, it’s less, like, it’s not big and
• 00:21:41 emblazoned.
• 00:21:42 It is more like a maker’s mark, almost, than it is…
• 00:21:46 - Well, like a,
• 00:21:48 like a banner of that house’s…
• 00:21:51 symbol.

Rhysaene

• 00:21:54 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:21:55 But it’s not an arcane symbol, it’s just a family crest.

Rhysaene

• 00:22:00 Right.
• 00:22:02 Okay.
• 00:22:03 - Cool.
• 00:22:04 Um,
• 00:22:07 How much would this be?
• 00:22:09 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 00:22:09 the shields are
• 00:22:12 eight gold for these standard shields.
• 00:22:15 I think in the back we have some that are all metal,
• 00:22:19 which is obviously just more durable.
• 00:22:21 I’d be happy to sell you for…
• 00:22:24 for 12 gold, but between you and me, I don’t
• 00:22:29 I honestly, I don’t know much about shields.
• 00:22:31 I don’t know that it’d be worth the…
• 00:22:33 She kind of like gets quieter and she says,
• 00:22:35 I don’t know that it’s worth paying more
• 00:22:37 for a shield that’s just gonna be heavier,
• 00:22:40 as long as you maintain it properly,
• 00:22:42 the important bits of this one are plenty
• 00:22:46 durable.

Rhysaene

• 00:22:47 Yeah, I’ll take this then.
• 00:22:49 Asko, was it

Dungeon Master

• 00:22:51 Um,
• 00:22:52 - Sorry.
• 00:22:53 What did you say, Aev?

Rhysaene

• 00:22:53 You said, ain’t go, was it?

Dungeon Master

• 00:22:56 Yeah, eight crowns for this one.

Rhysaene

• 00:23:00 I will.
• 00:23:01 Take that animal purse.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:04 um,
• 00:23:05 She doesn’t take the coin from you.
• 00:23:07 Instead, she leads you back to the front of the store
• 00:23:09 and goes into a little counter and, like…
• 00:23:14 unlocks a little thing and then pulls out a piece of paper
• 00:23:18 um, writes,
• 00:23:19 some notes down on it.
• 00:23:22 writes a second copy, hands it to you, or sorry,
• 00:23:27 Then she holds out her hand for the gold.

Rhysaene

• 00:23:30 Yeah.
• 00:23:31 Um, I will pay.
• 00:23:34 Yeah, it will be the e-gold…

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:37 She takes the coins and puts them under the counter
• 00:23:41 and then hands you what is clearly just a receipt for the
• 00:23:44 shield, like a purchase receipt.

Rhysaene

• 00:23:50 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:23:51 She smiles and says,
• 00:23:53 It’s nice to see you again. We should get lunch sometime or
• 00:23:57 something.

Rhysaene

• 00:24:00 I just think that might be nice.

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:03 She smiles and this time it’s a much like brighter,
• 00:24:07 more genuine smile.

Rhysaene

• 00:24:09 Besides, I’m going to make another sign for you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:12 she’s
• 00:24:13 Oh, um…
• 00:24:15 You don’t have to
• 00:24:17 You don’t have to, to do that. I, um,
• 00:24:20 I don’t have a cart for the sign to

Rhysaene

• 00:24:25 Mm-hmm.
• 00:24:27 Hmm…
• 00:24:30 We’ll see about that.

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:33 tilts her head not understanding and says,
• 00:24:35 is there anything else I can help you with?

Rhysaene

• 00:24:38 Um…
• 00:24:42 No, I think I’m good.
• 00:24:43 It was nice to see you, though.
• 00:24:45 It was nice to see you too.

Dungeon Master

• 00:24:48 See you again, too, Rhys.
• 00:24:52 Always happy to see you after all the help you gave me.

Rhysaene

• 00:24:56 Mm-hmm.
• 00:25:00 - Yeah.
• 00:25:01 Yeah, she’s going to blow a little kiss again.
• 00:25:06 And then gives like a bum wave.

Dungeon Master

• 00:25:08 Blushes and gives the wave.
• 00:25:10 And as you wave, the next customer comes up and they’ve got
• 00:25:13 like a hammer and some other like general tools and she
• 00:25:17 starts helping check them out.
• 00:25:20 Um,
• 00:25:22 and you have a shield.
• 00:25:23 It’s a
• 00:25:24 It’s a fine shield.
• 00:25:26 Fully functional, no quirks or anything you need to worry
• 00:25:29 about, it’s just a shield.
• 00:25:30 Yippee!

Rhysaene

• 00:25:33 I know she walks here.
• 00:25:33 That’s really cute.
• 00:25:35 What the fuck?

Dungeon Master

• 00:25:37 Uh…
• 00:25:38 And yeah.
• 00:25:42 there you go.
• 00:25:42 You have a shield.
• 00:25:44 And with that,
• 00:25:44 Thank you.

Luma

• 00:25:45 I’m gonna get a new job after her cart exploded.

Iva

• 00:25:49 Yeah, she didn’t work here until her cart exploded.
• 00:25:55 Um…
• 00:25:57 One small act of terror, you know.

Dungeon Master

• 00:26:00 he, um,
• 00:26:02 With that, you all are able to meet at Luma’s house and
• 00:26:06 everyone kind of comes together at around the same time
• 00:26:09 with risks arriving a little later.
• 00:26:11 So what’s happening at Luma’s house?
• 00:26:13 Thank you.

Unidentified

• 00:26:14 Thank you.

Temerity

• 00:26:16 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 00:26:17 meeting that dash.

Iva

• 00:26:19 - One second, sorry.
• 00:26:22 Oh no, we lost the Luma.
• 00:26:25 Oh, no.
• 00:26:26 Yep, just dying in the background. Don’t mind me.
• 00:26:28 Yeah.
• 00:26:31 who’d went down the wrong pipe.

Luma

• 00:26:32 Oh, my God.
• 00:26:34 Okay.
• 00:26:36 Um,
• 00:26:37 Yeah, I mean, Liv is just waiting for everybody to show up.
• 00:26:39 She’s packing up all of her stuff in her bag.
• 00:26:43 Which is the same bag as before, but she’s stuffing com
• 00:26:46 ically large items in it.
• 00:26:48 uh,
• 00:26:49 Not just items, she’s currently trying to stuff her entire
• 00:26:52 workbench into the bag.
• 00:26:54 And it’s working.
• 00:26:56 and suddenly disappearing into the back.

Hazel

• 00:26:59 Hazel will probably
• 00:27:04 do two elf shenanigans
• 00:27:07 I would imagine
• 00:27:07 arrives first because she wants to make sure that she’s
• 00:27:12 uh,
• 00:27:13 she’s present when everyone shows up and everything.
• 00:27:18 So she, I would imagine she
• 00:27:20 Thank you.
• 00:27:22 finishes her trance up and just kind of
• 00:27:27 gets there whenever she gets there.
• 00:27:32 And upon seeing Luma,
• 00:27:37 inexplicably staged magician in her entire apartment, she
• 00:27:43 ’ll just be like,
• 00:27:43 Thank you.
• 00:27:45 Oh.
• 00:27:45 That’s neat.
• 00:27:45 That’s neat.
• 00:27:48 uh,
• 00:27:50 and then continue to eat.
• 00:27:52 all of your food, not all of it,
• 00:27:54 but a lot of it.

Iva

• 00:27:55 would arrive
• 00:28:00 with
• 00:28:00 A mother in tow carrying her mother’s bag currently.
• 00:28:09 Like, really nervous, always double-checking over their
• 00:28:11 shoulder and stuff.

Dungeon Master

• 00:28:13 Um,
• 00:28:14 Anthusa kind of pats
• 00:28:16 Iva on the shoulder
• 00:28:17 so question does Iva still like
• 00:28:20 what appearance is Iva currently wearing

Iva

• 00:28:23 Iva is currently still in Iva appearance.

Dungeon Master

• 00:28:26 Okay.
• 00:28:26 Okay.
• 00:28:26 And if this will pat you, pat Iva on the shoulder and say,
• 00:28:31 Oh dear, you worry too much. There’s no reason to be this
• 00:28:35 paranoid this early in the morning.

Iva

• 00:28:39 It was just like, there is so many reasons, what if they
• 00:28:42 start investigating?

Luma

• 00:28:55 Upon seeing Iva, a little more world run over.
• 00:28:57 and put both of her hands on
• 00:29:00 I have a shoulders and stare at her very intently and she
• 00:29:02 says, I know where you are now.
• 00:29:04 And then she’ll pull out a map from her back pocket and
• 00:29:07 hand it to Iva.

Iva

• 00:29:09 Iva looks at the map confused.

Luma

• 00:29:13 We were there for the conversation.
• 00:29:15 Okay.
• 00:29:16 But I haven’t been able to see it yet.
• 00:29:19 Uh, yeah, it’s a map of, of, um, the area with little
• 00:29:24 markers of everybody.
• 00:29:26 slowly converging on my location.
• 00:29:30 Thank you.

Iva

• 00:29:31 Iva goes.
• 00:29:33 So these are the maps that let you follow
• 00:29:36 people.
• 00:29:37 Yep.
• 00:29:41 Other people can’t read this.

Luma

• 00:29:44 Nope.
• 00:29:45 See, look, you can show it to your mom.
• 00:29:47 - I have a mom.

Iva

• 00:29:49 Shows it to her mother.

Dungeon Master

• 00:29:51 She looks at it and says, um,
• 00:29:54 um,
• 00:29:55 Are you.
• 00:29:56 “Are you playing a prank? This is a blank piece of
• 00:29:59 parchment.”
• 00:29:59 Told you.

Luma

• 00:30:04 I think the magic word is keep to your soul.
• 00:30:07 You probably shouldn’t think too highly of that, or too
• 00:30:09 deeply into that.

Iva

• 00:30:15 Um,
• 00:30:17 I’m sorry, I missed that.
• 00:30:17 I got, I got.

Temerity

• 00:30:21 Sorry, I’m getting a phone call.

Iva

• 00:30:24 a mess of a D&D session already
• 00:30:25 because of me.
• 00:30:28 to go back
• 00:30:28 upstairs.
• 00:30:29 should be built in straits and everything in there.
• 00:30:31 - Thank you.

Unidentified

• 00:30:33 Thank you.

Iva

• 00:30:42 Uh,
• 00:30:45 Uh,
• 00:30:47 Iva goes, well,
• 00:30:49 It’s not a blank map, mom, it’s a magic map.
• 00:30:52 Apparently only the people who can see it can read.

Dungeon Master

• 00:30:55 Oh.
• 00:30:56 How…
• 00:30:57 I hope.
• 00:30:57 How innovative, that’s wonderful.

Iva

• 00:31:02 He goes, “Every time I talk to Luma, she has something new
• 00:31:05 and innovative going on.”

Luma

• 00:31:07 - Okay.
• 00:31:08 Yeah, but can you help me stuff? My work mentioned my, my
• 00:31:11 bag, it’s too heavy.

Iva

• 00:31:14 Iva kind of gives a like, “See?”

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:20 Luma, while you’re trying to figure out how to get your
• 00:31:22 workbench in your bag, um,
• 00:31:25 Kind of like check the space in there.
• 00:31:27 Um, there’s a, there’s something in there you didn’t put in
• 00:31:31 there.

Luma

• 00:31:32 In my bag?

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:33 Yep.

Luma

• 00:31:34 Oh, what this?

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:36 It’s a tiny replica of your workbench.

Luma

• 00:31:42 Oh, hello. What are you?
• 00:31:45 I’ll inspect it.

Dungeon Master

• 00:31:50 Give me a
• 00:31:52 This is really funny. What’s your spell save, DC?
• 00:31:55 Oh, yeah.

Luma

• 00:31:57 Uh…
• 00:32:00 14?
• 00:32:00 If we need

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:04 Give me…
• 00:32:05 An investigation or arcana check.

Luma

• 00:32:10 This is a part of the session where I realize that I don’t
• 00:32:13 have my dice rolled open again every time.
• 00:32:19 Investigation or what?
• 00:32:20 Or Arcana.
• 00:32:24 Let’s go with Investigation 24.

Dungeon Master

• 00:32:28 you look at this tiny workbench
• 00:32:30 that you kind of like idly just pulled out of your bag.
• 00:32:34 um,
• 00:32:35 And, like, it looks like a little tiny workbench.
• 00:32:38 It feels like wood.
• 00:32:40 It has the right weight for something of that size made of
• 00:32:43 wood.
• 00:32:43 But as you kind of, like, pick at it and scratch at it,
• 00:32:46 almost like scratching paint off a surface,
• 00:32:49 you give it a little scratch, and underneath is, like, jet
• 00:32:52 black paint.
• 00:32:53 Um,
• 00:32:54 and it stains your finger.
• 00:32:59 Um,
• 00:33:01 this little trinket.
• 00:33:03 Um,
• 00:33:05 when you ask that it kind of just,
• 00:33:08 like instantaneously melts into a blob of ink
• 00:33:11 and spills all over your floor in hand.

Iva

• 00:33:16 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:33:18 That’s it.
• 00:33:20 Just start scrubbing at it.

Dungeon Master

• 00:33:22 Oh my god!
• 00:33:25 It is…
• 00:33:27 It is difficult to clean, but only as difficult as, like…
• 00:33:31 build like
• 00:33:32 pen ink would be to clean.
• 00:33:34 when possible.

Luma

• 00:33:37 Sorry, this never happens.

Iva

• 00:33:40 Here we go.
• 00:33:41 No, Luma, I’m fairly sure every time I’m with you something
• 00:33:44 happens.

Luma

• 00:33:46 Not like this.
• 00:33:51 It wasn’t me, I swear.
• 00:33:53 Hee hee hee.

Hazel

• 00:33:55 causality and the
• 00:33:56 Whenever I’m around you, something happens.

Temerity

• 00:34:02 I’ll wait.

Hazel

• 00:34:04 um,
• 00:34:09 While they’re,
• 00:34:11 Messing with the workbench, Hazel will approach Iva’s mom.
• 00:34:16 And we’ll be like, ah.
• 00:34:20 You must be the mother.

Dungeon Master

• 00:34:22 Oh.
• 00:34:23 Eva’s mother, yes.
• 00:34:25 - It’s nice to meet you.
• 00:34:27 I am Anthusa Toguri.

Hazel

• 00:34:32 Eh…
• 00:34:33 It is likewise nice to meet you as well.
• 00:34:36 Um,
• 00:34:37 You, I am the, the, the,
• 00:34:43 I don’t know.
• 00:34:46 I am the one who has offered
• 00:34:49 you a home.

Dungeon Master

• 00:34:52 - Oh, that is…
• 00:34:53 Um, she, she smiles and it’s like a, like a weak kind of
• 00:34:57 like wavering smile.
• 00:34:58 And she says, that is…
• 00:35:00 Very, very kind of you.
• 00:35:02 I can’t let you know.
• 00:35:03 how much I appreciate it.
• 00:35:05 um,
• 00:35:07 I know my dear Iva has helped others find homes like this
• 00:35:13 and it’s
• 00:35:13 an odd feeling to be on the other end of that
• 00:35:18 situation.

Iva

• 00:35:22 uh,

Hazel

• 00:35:24 - Basil nods.
• 00:35:27 Um,

Unidentified

• 00:35:29 Thank you.

Temerity

• 00:35:31 You…
• 00:35:34 as

Hazel

• 00:35:37 uh,
• 00:35:40 as good as it is that you are
• 00:35:44 leaving the city before anything happens. You must know,
• 00:35:47 you must know that
• 00:35:50 Um,
• 00:35:52 You must know that, unfortunately.
• 00:35:56 you will not be
• 00:35:57 You will not be heading to…
• 00:35:59 um,
• 00:36:01 That’s it.
• 00:36:04 You will not be heading to a place…
• 00:36:07 uh,
• 00:36:10 That is.
• 00:36:12 the
• 00:36:13 Luxurious.
• 00:36:15 Um,
• 00:36:17 My home lies on the…
• 00:36:21 My home lies on the border of the Vale, and as…
• 00:36:26 And as I’m being…
• 00:36:27 told the
• 00:36:30 protection on the outer end of the veil is weakening.
• 00:36:34 However,
• 00:36:36 part of my
• 00:36:38 a journey to see you there safely is to hopefully
• 00:36:42 a guard against that.
• 00:36:43 I understand that you have some…
• 00:36:46 kind of magic.
• 00:36:48 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 00:36:49 Just, just…
• 00:36:50 Just a little bit, just the basics I can,
• 00:36:54 she sees Luma scrubbing and
• 00:36:56 Um,
• 00:36:57 with a gesture and a word, um, points at the ink
• 00:37:00 and it just, like, slurps into nothingness.

Luma

• 00:37:03 Wait, that was evidence! No!
• 00:37:05 No!
• 00:37:05 Yeah.
• 00:37:06 We’ll see you next time.

Dungeon Master

• 00:37:08 I saw you scrubbing and oh no, I’m sorry.

Luma

• 00:37:12 I’m like banging on the floor like

Temerity

• 00:37:17 what were you?

Hazel

• 00:37:23 It’ll…
• 00:37:24 I would certainly find it be useful on a farm.
• 00:37:28 um,

Temerity

• 00:37:34 I
• 00:37:39 I don’t know.

Hazel

• 00:37:49 I, I,
• 00:37:50 just felt like I should
• 00:37:52 warn you that
• 00:37:54 you are not,
• 00:37:58 You knew.
• 00:37:59 You’re not.
• 00:38:01 and you’re not leaving for somewhere.
• 00:38:04 Nice.

Dungeon Master

• 00:38:08 Um, no.
• 00:38:09 - I understand.
• 00:38:11 And that’s all right. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty
• 00:38:16 if…
• 00:38:16 uh,
• 00:38:17 if any of my talents can be of use to…
• 00:38:21 to pull my weight and earn my keep.
• 00:38:23 do not mind that at all.
• 00:38:27 And it can’t be worse than the inside of an order prison.
• 00:38:32 that

Hazel

• 00:38:34 I don’t know.
• 00:38:36 I am in agreement with…
• 00:38:38 Thank you.
• 00:38:39 In any case, I’m quite fond of it.
• 00:38:41 So perhaps it will be too.
• 00:38:46 Uh,
• 00:38:49 And she’ll like.
• 00:38:53 uh
• 00:38:55 So…
• 00:38:56 leave and probably just like find a window to peek out of
• 00:38:59 to make sure yeah
• 00:39:00 To see like where people, if people are coming or not.

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:05 Uh-huh.
• 00:39:06 Um, you don’t, eh, give me a perception check.

Hazel

• 00:39:11 Yay, I’m a wisdom character!
• 00:39:13 Fuck, I rolled a four plus split.
• 00:39:18 - Six, 10.
• 00:39:20 -

Iva

• 00:39:22 GM, I think she’s fudging her roles.
• 00:39:25 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:29 What was the total, sorry?

Temerity

• 00:39:31 10.
• 00:39:31 10.

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:33 You, you, I think so too.
• 00:39:36 You see people coming and going,
• 00:39:38 but it doesn’t seem like anyone’s paying any attention
• 00:39:41 special to Luma’s apartment or anything.

Hazel

• 00:39:44 Oh, yeah, I’m looking for, like, Rhys and Temerity.
• 00:39:49 Oh!

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:49 Oh!

Hazel

• 00:39:49 Um,

Temerity

• 00:39:50 Yeah, Temerity would probably show up around this time, eh?

Dungeon Master

• 00:39:53 Will you find the camaraderie?
• 00:39:55 - And a risk, presumably.

Rhysaene

• 00:39:57 - Yeah.
• 00:39:59 - They kind of-- - That’s behind.

Hazel

• 00:40:04 she’ll probably just say the others are here she’s going to
• 00:40:06 say the powder
• 00:40:06 cakes here but since they both have since they both arrived

Rhysaene

• 00:40:13 That’s supposed to be, huh?

Iva

• 00:40:19 I think she was talking about Temerity.

Temerity

• 00:40:21 Yeah.
• 00:40:25 Um,
• 00:40:28 Yeah, Temerity will show up.
• 00:40:32 Knock on the door, of course.
• 00:40:34 Thank you.

Luma

• 00:40:36 We’ll bounce up and run over.
• 00:40:39 I’m out.
• 00:40:41 Oh, hey.
• 00:40:42 This place is a no-slamming-in-walls location now. I have a
• 00:40:47 sign.
• 00:40:47 laughs

Temerity

• 00:40:49 The Temerity, like, barely whinges a tiny bit and is, like,
• 00:40:55 just nods and is like,
• 00:40:57 right i understand points out the sign

Iva

• 00:41:01 Iva would point out and go, yeah, that sign got made
• 00:41:04 because Temerity put me into the wall.

Rhysaene

• 00:41:07 that
• 00:41:09 I will pop over.

Luma

• 00:41:10 That sign was not because of any
• 00:41:13 Specific instance.
• 00:41:15 or incident?
• 00:41:16 It was, well, much needed.
• 00:41:18 And now this apartment has one.
• 00:41:21 Like all apartments should have.

Rhysaene

• 00:41:22 Rhys kind of like
• 00:41:25 looks over Temerity’s shoulder
• 00:41:31 Um,
• 00:41:33 Oh, is that a new song?

Luma

• 00:41:36 Up.
• 00:41:38 I just finished it this morning.
• 00:41:42 The ink is dry, so please don’t make the ink disappear.
• 00:41:44 That would be much appreciated.

Rhysaene

• 00:41:45 That wasn’t going to be my fucking plan, but no.
• 00:41:50 I will not.

Luma

• 00:41:52 I didn’t think ink disappeared.
• 00:41:55 My assumptions have been challenged.
• 00:41:57 Boy, I can’t make that
• 00:41:59 disappear. Don’t worry, Luma.
• 00:42:01 OK.
• 00:42:02 That’s good.

Unidentified

• 00:42:05 Thank you.

Luma

• 00:42:06 sniff

Temerity

• 00:42:06 - Now, catch.
• 00:42:08 Go for it.
• 00:42:09 No, no.
• 00:42:10 No, no, you go first.

Hazel

• 00:42:12 I guess Hazelwood…
• 00:42:14 would assert herself.
• 00:42:16 in this situation, so that’s fair.
• 00:42:18 Get in character cut off, kid.
• 00:42:21 No.
• 00:42:24 uh
• 00:42:26 She just goes now that everyone is here.
• 00:42:30 um,
• 00:42:31 - Thank you.
• 00:42:32 We should probably go.

Temerity

• 00:42:34 Yeah.
• 00:42:35 Timurney nods.
• 00:42:38 But seeing the food like a night.
• 00:42:41 .
• 00:42:43 mildly lingers on the food a little bit.
• 00:42:46 and
• 00:42:47 They’ll grab a little bit, uh,
• 00:42:50 And pass them to Rhys…
• 00:42:52 That’s right.
• 00:42:53 we get ready to head out.

Rhysaene

• 00:42:55 Thank you.

Temerity

• 00:42:57 course.
• 00:42:59 Um,
• 00:43:01 So game plan?
• 00:43:02 We’re going to stop.
• 00:43:04 I have Crick’s Bend.
• 00:43:07 on the journey up, rest, and then continue on to Silverthor
• 00:43:10 ne, right?

Iva

• 00:43:15 That’s my understanding of the planet.

Temerity

• 00:43:17 Abel frowns a little.

Hazel

• 00:43:19 Because if we must…

Temerity

• 00:43:21 I hate it.
• 00:43:22 It’s dead in the middle.

Hazel

• 00:43:25 Mm-hmm.
• 00:43:26 It’s like 75% the way there.
• 00:43:29 Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.
• 00:43:31 Yeah.
• 00:43:33 Like 80% of the way there.

Temerity

• 00:43:35 No, no, it’s dead in the middle.

Iva

• 00:43:39 however her mom and asks if she’s ever left the city why
• 00:43:43 they argue over where krixbren is

Unidentified

• 00:43:46 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:43:48 - No, I’ve never been out of the city before.
• 00:43:51 I mean, I’ve been out into the outer works beyond the wall,
• 00:43:55 but I’ve never been
• 00:43:55 beyond that.

Iva

• 00:43:58 Iva tries to put on a strong face.
• 00:44:01 Well, at least this is a new adventure for both of us.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:04 She nods and
• 00:44:06 Where Iva is trying to put on a strong face, Anthusa seems
• 00:44:10 genuine in her smile.
• 00:44:12 and says, “Yes, a new adventure for both of us,” and she

Rhysaene

• 00:44:17 smiles.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:17 Oh, is this the mama?
• 00:44:19 She turns and looks up at Rhys
• 00:44:22 and says, “Oh my, you’re…
• 00:44:24 white
• 00:44:25 Um,
• 00:44:27 She smiles you’re
• 00:44:29 quite eye-catching.
• 00:44:31 I’m Anthusa…
• 00:44:33 Toguri, I am Rhys’s mother.

Rhysaene

• 00:44:36 Well, hello, and do some. My name is Rhysaene.
• 00:44:41 Pleasure to meet you.

Dungeon Master

• 00:44:45 It’s a pleasure to meet you as well.
• 00:44:47 Iva, you have so many interesting friends.

Iva

• 00:44:51 Riva goes, yeah, I kind of stumbled into that.
• 00:44:54 Yes, yes.

Hazel

• 00:44:58 As I have informed the mother, the…
• 00:45:02 or.
• 00:45:05 I have received word from
• 00:45:08 from those in Silverthorn and they tell me that the
• 00:45:11 situation regarding the Sorrow has grown
• 00:45:15 worse in my absence.
• 00:45:18 um,
• 00:45:22 we all
• 00:45:23 I know that we all can hold ourselves in a fight.
• 00:45:26 Um,
• 00:45:26 So I’m just.
• 00:45:28 I’m just taking the time now to inform you all that.
• 00:45:32 Um,
• 00:45:35 when we arrive
• 00:45:37 Um,
• 00:45:41 the possibility of encountering it.
• 00:45:43 encountering things mutated by the sorrow is not
• 00:45:47 Uh,
• 00:45:50 Oh, yeah.
• 00:45:53 is not zero.
• 00:45:56 As someone who has fought
• 00:45:59 as someone who has encountered these
• 00:46:03 Creatures before, though, I have no doubt that you will all
• 00:46:07 be fantastic.
• 00:46:07 We will all do well.

Luma

• 00:46:10 I just noticed that I have a whole bunch of overtime that I
• 00:46:12 got to do.
• 00:46:13 I might have to sit with this one out.
• 00:46:15 laughter

Hazel

• 00:46:21 I was under the impression that you wanted to go into the
• 00:46:23 Sara.

Luma

• 00:46:25 Well, yeah, and like
• 00:46:26 20, 30…
• 00:46:28 40, maybe 70 years.

Temerity

• 00:46:30 Don’t do it.
• 00:46:35 Don’t worry, Luma, if there’s anything that jumps out at us
• 00:46:38 ,
• 00:46:38 so make sure to distract it.

Luma

• 00:46:40 Okay, you get eaten first.

Hazel

• 00:46:40 Those two will be dead in 70 years.
• 00:46:44 And I thought that they were going to go with you.

Luma

• 00:46:47 Well, that’s okay. They can make more.
• 00:46:49 I have a

Iva

• 00:46:52 Iva kind of gives it like a blush look and goes,
• 00:46:56 I don’t know if that works that way for me.

Temerity

• 00:46:59 Trinity just comes in confused, like, just shakes her head.

Luma

• 00:47:02 You’ve got 70 years to find that.
• 00:47:03 I’ll take your great-grandchildren.
• 00:47:06 It’s fine.

Temerity

• 00:47:06 laughter
• 00:47:08 Fucking Luma’s bacon on the roguelike friends.
• 00:47:15 Yeah.

Hazel

• 00:47:16 Hazel
• 00:47:17 He tilts her head and then just goes,
• 00:47:20 Temerity does not seem like the one for procreation.
• 00:47:23 No.
• 00:47:24 Wow!

Iva

• 00:47:26 Wait a minute.
• 00:47:27 What’s it going to say about me?

Hazel

• 00:47:31 Mm-hmm.
• 00:47:35 For you, I feel like it would be a mistake.
• 00:47:37 It would be an accident.

Iva

• 00:47:39 I don’t know.
• 00:47:39 Ha ha ha ha!
• 00:47:40 I’m like, just extra red, and she’s like…
• 00:47:45 You didn’t accidentally have a child?

Rhysaene

• 00:47:47 I wasn’t going to fucking say it, but

Temerity

• 00:47:51 we have to warn iva the dangers of teen pregnancy
• 00:47:57 we still got two more years

Dungeon Master

• 00:48:02 I’m fighting the temptation to drop a forgotten realms fun
• 00:48:08 fact about changelings that I learned.
• 00:48:11 laughs
• 00:48:13 Get out of here, Ed Greenwood.
• 00:48:15 Get out of here.
• 00:48:16 It is pure Ed Greenwood.
• 00:48:18 You…
• 00:48:18 Changelings can indeed get pregnant.
• 00:48:21 If you do, you cannot change your sex the entire time.

Hazel

• 00:48:27 Oh.
• 00:48:29 - Oh, that is actually interesting.

Temerity

• 00:48:32 - That is actually interesting.

Luma

• 00:48:34 Changeling parents have a fucking
• 00:48:36 Rochambeau to see who has to
• 00:48:38 suffer for nine months.
• 00:48:39 It’s like some fucking snails with love darts.

Rhysaene

• 00:48:42 No, that’s lame. I want to see
• 00:48:44 a boy changeling pregnant.
• 00:48:46 Get out of here.

Hazel

• 00:48:46 I was going to say, like, changelings can…
• 00:48:49 - Changelings completely break the idea of like,
• 00:48:54 of, like, conventional form
• 00:48:56 and can change their biology.
• 00:48:58 However, the sex must
• 00:48:59 be binary.
• 00:49:01 I think…

Dungeon Master

• 00:49:03 I think…
• 00:49:05 to extend credit to someone
• 00:49:07 who maybe doesn’t deserve as much credit
• 00:49:09 as I’m giving them, or maybe they do.
• 00:49:11 I think the idea is you can’t remove
• 00:49:13 the parts of your anatomy necessary
• 00:49:15 to continue holding a fetus inside you.

Hazel

• 00:49:18 no you’re just gonna rerouted the uterus
• 00:49:22 Is a fetus an object that’s being worn or carried? If I
• 00:49:25 miss these steps, does it?

Dungeon Master

• 00:49:27 Bye.
• 00:49:28 If you miss the step, the fetus goes with you.
• 00:49:32 The implications otherwise are nightmarish.

Temerity

• 00:49:35 No, it’s just easy abortion.

Luma

• 00:49:37 Well, that’s true.
• 00:49:38 They’re not people until they’re born.
• 00:49:40 Apparently.
• 00:49:43 D&D mechanics have decided it.
• 00:49:45 Yep.

Dungeon Master

• 00:49:46 All right.
• 00:49:47 To move on from that.

Iva

• 00:49:49 I need you guys to keep Kat on this subject.
• 00:49:52 We need to get Iva pregnant.
• 00:49:54 No.
• 00:49:55 No part.

Hazel

• 00:49:59 Let’s get out of here, guys.

Temerity

• 00:50:01 Yeah, let’s get out of here, guys.
• 00:50:02 Yo.

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:05 Head out of Luma’s apartment.
• 00:50:08 um,
• 00:50:09 The quickest, most obvious route out of the city
• 00:50:13 to…
• 00:50:15 um,
• 00:50:17 to the road that would take you to Crick’s Bend is to go
• 00:50:21 through the North Gate.
• 00:50:23 Um,
• 00:50:25 It would be the gate that both Hazel and Temerity arrived
• 00:50:28 through.

Temerity

• 00:50:32 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 00:50:33 But,
• 00:50:35 I’m not prescribing that you do so.
• 00:50:37 You can go through whichever gate you want.
• 00:50:39 No, Northgate.
• 00:50:45 You head out through the north gate
• 00:50:48 and begin taking what is known as the old road.
• 00:50:52 It is one of these
• 00:50:53 Um,
• 00:50:55 ancient
• 00:50:56 presumably pre-Starfall roads that at one time was upkept.
• 00:51:00 and actively maintained and even not paved but like cobbled
• 00:51:06 Um,
• 00:51:12 And but around the city, it still is.
• 00:51:17 Uh,
• 00:51:18 the take the the old road north out of um
• 00:51:26 out of the city
• 00:51:28 Um,
• 00:51:29 And as you do, you pass by…
• 00:51:32 a large and like you pass by
• 00:51:34 like, market stalls that are set up
• 00:51:37 outside the gate. There’s a lot of, like,
• 00:51:38 like tents and and market stalls set up on the right side
• 00:51:42 of the road um the left side of the road being the river um
• 00:51:45 selling
• 00:51:47 rations and food and and like really basic
• 00:51:51 Weapons for self-defense, nothing more exotic than a short
• 00:51:57 sword or a club.
• 00:51:59 Um,
• 00:52:00 daggers, that sort of thing, traveling boots…
• 00:52:05 Um,
• 00:52:06 There’s probably a guy like desperately trying to sell his
• 00:52:10 horse.
• 00:52:10 He’s not like a merchant of any kind.
• 00:52:12 He’s just a guy who really wants to get rid of his horse.
• 00:52:15 And you can see that the horses getting up in the years and
• 00:52:19 probably wouldn’t be good for long journeys.
• 00:52:22 Um,
• 00:52:24 And as you move past all these stalls and stands,
• 00:52:28 you see a large,
• 00:52:31 a large building, a couple buildings that are built
• 00:52:34 similarly,
• 00:52:36 um,
• 00:52:37 And both out front of a…
• 00:52:42 like what is very clearly a fenced
• 00:52:45 lumber yard.
• 00:52:47 um
• 00:52:48 they aren’t,
• 00:52:50 they’re actively like cutting down trees, but, uh,
• 00:52:54 Looks like they have their own personal docks on the river.
• 00:52:57 Um,
• 00:52:58 Luma, this place is, this location is familiar to you.
• 00:53:02 And you…
• 00:53:04 Maybe saw it on the way into town the most recent time when
• 00:53:09 you arrived.
• 00:53:09 Um,
• 00:53:10 This is where your family would usually offload the lumber,
• 00:53:12 but there didn’t, the, the, um,
• 00:53:16 this like
• 00:53:18 specific, like, set of buildings and apparatus is fairly
• 00:53:23 new, and I feel like you probably
• 00:53:25 stopped, like, accompanying the lumber runs and started
• 00:53:28 preparing for, like…
• 00:53:31 Um,
• 00:53:33 like moving to Argentum to pursue something else before
• 00:53:36 this place was built
• 00:53:37 because it is pretty new.
• 00:53:39 But it is a lumber yard.
• 00:53:41 They seem to be selling timber
• 00:53:43 at various levels of processing.
• 00:53:45 You can see back
• 00:53:47 Back into the yard is a lot of cut logs and cut, like,
• 00:53:52 like timber and boards and people coming and going,
• 00:53:55 um,
• 00:53:57 Luma, you, I think, would recognize…
• 00:54:00 Um,
• 00:54:01 A lot of the wood is also not, like…
• 00:54:04 native to this area, it is very clearly from Er Hedel.
• 00:54:10 um,
• 00:54:11 And the other thing I think all of you would notice is the
• 00:54:14 sign on the front of
• 00:54:15 the main, like large building, um,
• 00:54:18 which says something that is in my notes.
• 00:54:23 Um,
• 00:54:23 It says,
• 00:54:27 um,
• 00:54:27 It says a sterling timber yard and sawmill.
• 00:54:32 Um, and it, again, the same two hands pointed down one,
• 00:54:36 one closed and one open.
• 00:54:38 carved into this big, elegant wooden sign.
• 00:54:42 Um,
• 00:54:43 And you can smell…
• 00:54:44 fresh cut wood as you pass by
• 00:54:47 Um,
• 00:54:48 I don’t remember off the top of my head if there were
• 00:54:51 particular kinds of wood
• 00:54:53 Um, that, or had, though,
• 00:54:55 exported, but it’s mostly that.

Luma

• 00:54:58 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 00:54:59 Just wood, just wood.
• 00:55:02 Um,
• 00:55:04 Mm-hmm.
• 00:55:06 You can…
• 00:55:07 continue on the road past the lumber yard that,
• 00:55:12 the outer works go for a few miles and each step you take
• 00:55:16 on the road the houses become more spaced
• 00:55:18 apart more um more of the houses are like little farms with
• 00:55:23 produce um or little like farms with
• 00:55:26 a couple like chickens and cows and that sort of thing and
• 00:55:29 the further you get north um the more
• 00:55:32 spread out it gets until you can’t really say that you’re
• 00:55:35 uh, in, um,
• 00:55:39 in Argentum anymore.

Temerity

• 00:55:54 - True.

Rhysaene

• 00:55:55 I did that not sync correctly.

Dungeon Master

• 00:56:12 You head out into the countryside,
• 00:56:15 Um,
• 00:56:17 For Iva,
• 00:56:19 This is a new experience.
• 00:56:21 It’s very much like the art.
• 00:56:23 um, for the, um,
• 00:56:26 the owlbear. It’s like open fields, some of them are tended
• 00:56:30 and tilled and some of them
• 00:56:32 are wide open plains. This close to Argentum, a lot of it
• 00:56:35 is farmland, but each
• 00:56:37 each mile you walk,
• 00:56:39 There’s still a lot of farmland, but it becomes more and
• 00:56:41 more wild.

Iva

• 00:56:46 Emma is so, like, enthralled by this.

Dungeon Master

• 00:56:52 um,
• 00:56:53 like tall, flowing golden grasses as it is now nearly
• 00:57:00 winter.
• 00:57:00 It’s a warmer day for the time of year, so it’s probably
• 00:57:04 around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, maybe 45.
• 00:57:08 Um,
• 00:57:10 Very cold for some of you, I imagine.
• 00:57:14 Because, and you notice that the second you leave
• 00:57:17 the city’s walls, the protection from the wind is gone.
• 00:57:21 The, the, the…
• 00:57:24 The Everfire lines only run under the center of the city,
• 00:57:28 but the heat from that carries, and once you pass beyond
• 00:57:31 the walls, all of that additional protection against the
• 00:57:34 cold of late fall is gone.
• 00:57:37 Um,
• 00:57:39 And the road is open.
• 00:57:41 There are not a lot of travelers.
• 00:57:44 While you’re close, within like five to ten miles of the
• 00:57:47 city, there are people moving up and down the road.
• 00:57:50 But once you get beyond that, after a couple hours of
• 00:57:52 walking, the road is basically just yours.
• 00:57:56 um,
• 00:57:58 there’s a light breeze kind of rustling the grasses and the
• 00:58:02 , the,
• 00:58:03 The sky is unusually clear for…
• 00:58:10 for
• 00:58:11 The…
• 00:58:12 just that the usual weather.
• 00:58:15 So blue skies with some rolling clouds.

Hazel

• 00:58:23 Yeah.
• 00:58:24 Yeah.
• 00:58:25 uh,

Luma

• 00:58:27 If anybody gets within like…
• 00:58:29 envied of Luma
• 00:58:32 It is
• 00:58:33 dramatically warmer.
• 00:58:35 Ha ha ha.
• 00:58:36 Huh?
• 00:58:39 For no reason.

Dungeon Master

• 00:58:41 Huh.
• 00:58:42 That’s true.
• 00:58:42 It’s probably, if you’re standing near Luma, it’s probably
• 00:58:46 closer to like 65, 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 00:58:50 What the fuck?
• 00:58:54 Yeah.

Luma

• 00:58:55 Closer you get.
• 00:58:55 Closer you get.
• 00:58:58 The warmer it is, she is carrying a
• 00:59:02 on her hip.
• 00:59:04 a weird-looking
• 00:59:06 Kind of…
• 00:59:08 Attempt at a copy of a silver lantern, but clearly not.
• 00:59:13 made out of that same, like, sunglass…
• 00:59:17 with a little drawing of a fire on the inside made out of
• 00:59:20 like red ink.

Rhysaene

• 00:59:22 Mm-hmm.

Temerity

• 00:59:28 Oh shit.
• 00:59:30 Hmm.
• 00:59:32 Temerity…
• 00:59:33 Tries to
• 00:59:34 push that out of their mind they don’t they don’t look at
• 00:59:38 it they don’t know about it

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:41 oh that is a that does raise a good question iva
• 00:59:46 Are you openly carrying your lantern?
• 00:59:48 And are you still wearing the Iva face?

Iva

• 00:59:51 Yes, at this point.

Dungeon Master

• 00:59:53 Yes to both.

Iva

• 00:59:55 Yes, at this point.
• 00:59:56 Okay.

Luma

• 01:00:01 - I would just have sighted.
• 01:00:03 Cut our…

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:04 Kill her.
• 01:00:06 Awww.
• 01:00:07 um,
• 01:00:10 if you all continue your journey in silence,
• 01:00:15 you can see the river a few miles off to the…
• 01:00:19 west as you move, but then the road starts to bend away
• 01:00:22 from the river.
• 01:00:24 Um,

Luma

• 01:00:25 One, two, three, four…
• 01:00:28 Wait, fuck, sorry, did I say Silver Lantern?
• 01:00:30 I meant the fucking Lava Lanterns.
• 01:00:32 So,

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:34 The lava lanterns are like cylinders, but…

Luma

• 01:00:38 Yeah, yeah.
• 01:00:38 Not…
• 01:00:39 Not Iva’s lantern, not a copy of that, a copy of the big
• 01:00:42 tubes in the city.
• 01:00:45 Sorry.
• 01:00:47 Yeah.
• 01:00:49 Um…

Dungeon Master

• 01:00:55 - Sorry.
• 01:00:56 One, two, three.
• 01:00:57 for.
• 01:00:59 Five.
• 01:01:00 Um,
• 01:01:02 It is about six hours of walking, and
• 01:01:07 Just…
• 01:01:08 Given how travel in D&D works…
• 01:01:11 Um,
• 01:01:14 you can for sure reach Crick’s Bend in a day
• 01:01:18 but you are pushing the limits of how far
• 01:01:21 you can travel without risking exhaustion
• 01:01:23 if you were to try to go beyond that.

Iva

• 01:01:26 We’re also traveling with an old lady.

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:28 you are also traveling with an old lady.
• 01:01:31 um,
• 01:01:33 but she seems to be enjoying the fresh air
• 01:01:37 and doesn’t, at this point, seem too tired or bothered.
• 01:01:42 Um,
• 01:01:43 She’s not, like, I think it came up before, she’s not
• 01:01:46 elderly, she’s just older.

Temerity

• 01:01:48 Yeah, she’s like…

Dungeon Master

• 01:01:50 Late 50-ish.
• 01:01:53 Ivercalls are an old lady.
• 01:01:55 I think it’s backhanded.
• 01:01:56 No, that doesn’t happen.

Temerity

• 01:01:57 She doesn’t do that.
• 01:02:00 brass knuckles.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:02 She fucking pulls
• 01:02:04 a greatsword out of her chest
• 01:02:06 just like Rhys does.

Rhysaene

• 01:02:10 And now we’re home.
• 01:02:11 Wait a minute.

Dungeon Master

• 01:02:13 Wait a minute.
• 01:02:16 As, as, as, uh, so it’s probably about
• 01:02:23 Um,
• 01:02:27 about 2:00 in the afternoon
• 01:02:29 Um, so like early, mid afternoon, um,
• 01:02:35 You’re six hours into your journey, you’ve been walking.
• 01:02:38 You’ve passed a couple travelers, mostly farmers, like
• 01:02:42 going to…
• 01:02:44 like one of the nearby like settlements to buy like
• 01:02:47 quick supplies or something like that.
• 01:02:51 But six hours in, I’d like everyone to give me a perception
• 01:02:55 check and put the results in the channel.

Temerity

• 01:02:57 Oh, boy.
• 01:02:59 As we get closer, Temerity is getting more…
• 01:03:02 uh,
• 01:03:03 There’s more and more pep to their step.
• 01:03:05 as a little like side note
• 01:03:09 They seem to be excited as they approach Crick’s Bend.
• 01:03:14 A reminder, Temerity, that we can’t explain to your…

Hazel

• 01:03:19 to your holy father while we’re here

Temerity

• 01:03:22 Yes.

Hazel

• 01:03:23 I know

Temerity

• 01:03:27 I’m just making shoulder.

Iva

• 01:03:33 As they’re walking,
• 01:03:35 Iva does every once in a while ask,
• 01:03:38 Uh, what do you think I should look like next?

Temerity

• 01:03:42 Huh.
• 01:03:43 really doesn’t know how to answer
• 01:03:47 that question
• 01:03:48 somebody else might want to

Dungeon Master

• 01:03:51 I’m going to let you guys argue that while I be right back

Hazel

• 01:03:53 I’m not sure I feel comfortable answering that question
• 01:03:58 either.
• 01:03:58 I--

Temerity

• 01:03:58 Guess what feels natural for you?

Hazel

• 01:04:03 Something that makes you happy.

Temerity

• 01:04:05 - Yeah.
• 01:04:05 It’s a Murnie show.
• 01:04:10 Just like
• 01:04:12 - This is strange.
• 01:04:14 I’ve never met anybody who could do this.
• 01:04:18 probably
• 01:04:21 Yeah. What feels most natural for you?

Luma

• 01:04:29 He’s perfectly okay with that, but the lantern is too
• 01:04:32 fucking far.
• 01:04:34 I see.

Temerity

• 01:04:34 - No, if you confronted Davini, you’d be like, no.
• 01:04:39 uh…
• 01:04:40 I don’t like how does that work, but Temerity, if Temerity
• 01:04:45 can avoid it, Temerity wants to not interact with the magic
• 01:04:48 as much as possible.
• 01:04:50 because it implicates them further and further.

Rhysaene

• 01:04:53 Bitch, you’re already obligated.

Temerity

• 01:04:57 yeah it doesn’t make a lot of sense it doesn’t make a lot
• 01:05:04 of sense

Rhysaene

• 01:05:04 I love her.

Iva

• 01:05:05 I need a beer pack
• 01:05:07 the most implicated woman in the world
• 01:05:10 Heh heh heh heh heh heh.

Temerity

• 01:05:15 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:24 Did we resolve how Iva should look?

Temerity

• 01:05:27 - Okay.
• 01:05:28 Not really.
• 01:05:28 Not really.

Iva

• 01:05:29 They actively avoided it.
• 01:05:31 It just said whatever makes you feel more comfortable.

Temerity

• 01:05:34 That’s not avoiding it.

Hazel

• 01:05:36 - Yeah.
• 01:05:37 Mm-hmm.
• 01:05:38 You were the as they didn’t answer after we replied.

Iva

• 01:05:41 Well, I was thinking about, I was like, well, I don’t know.
• 01:05:45 I could have pointy ears like Luma or Hazel.

Dungeon Master

• 01:05:49 Choo-choo-choo-choo.
• 01:05:51 Um,
• 01:05:52 While you guys are talking,
• 01:05:54 everyone
• 01:05:56 From…
• 01:05:58 Oh, sorry.
• 01:06:00 Is that Eylesis for you?
• 01:06:00 No, Eylesis is not here.
• 01:06:03 then nevermind.
• 01:06:03 I didn’t say nothing.

Hazel

• 01:06:05 If the plan is to,
• 01:06:06 if the plan is to not,
• 01:06:09 Draw.
• 01:06:10 attention to yourself.
• 01:06:15 - Yeah.
• 01:06:16 disguising yourself as a pure blood elf might
• 01:06:22 cause some people to
• 01:06:25 ask you questions you might not know the answers to.

Iva

• 01:06:28 She nods, she nods.
• 01:06:28 All right, all right.
• 01:06:32 Well, I could be beautiful like Rhys.

Hazel

• 01:06:36 What’s that supposed to mean?

Rhysaene

• 01:06:40 I think it means I’m beautiful.
• 01:06:43 Yeah!
• 01:06:49 What’s that cute?

Temerity

• 01:06:50 Well.
• 01:06:52 No, beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, Hazel.
• 01:06:56 Hazel is insulted.

Iva

• 01:06:59 laughter
• 01:07:02 Or I could be real strong, like…
• 01:07:06 Temerity gets when she’s angry and not doing magic clearly.
• 01:07:11 Thank you.

Temerity

• 01:07:12 I’m
• 01:07:14 Strong always.
• 01:07:15 Damn.
• 01:07:16 Temerity’s strong.

Hazel

• 01:07:19 Rhys is beautiful.
• 01:07:20 Luma and Hazel are racially profiled.
• 01:07:23 Yeah, for real.

Dungeon Master

• 01:07:25 You could be strong, or you could be beautiful, or you
• 01:07:28 could be elf.

Temerity

• 01:07:29 the three genders

Iva

• 01:07:32 Iva goes well no you’re both those things
• 01:07:36 but like
• 01:07:36 Like the fancy things that you guys have is magic and I can
• 01:07:41 ’t do that.

Unidentified

• 01:07:42 Thank you.

Temerity

• 01:07:46 Rest is magical.

Iva

• 01:07:48 But races also have horse.
• 01:07:50 And also beautiful.

Temerity

• 01:07:53 Being a human would be very inconspicuous.

Hazel

• 01:08:03 Does he get, does she get this stuff from you?
• 01:08:06 But Hazel looks back at…
• 01:08:09 I have his mom.
• 01:08:11 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Dungeon Master

• 01:08:15 When Iva was younger,
• 01:08:18 She
• 01:08:19 hadn’t mastered the art of shaping her face.
• 01:08:22 And so unfortunately it was very dangerous for her to be
• 01:08:27 around other people because it was very easy for her to get
• 01:08:31 upset or excited or scared and lose her color and her
• 01:08:35 her features, and that would have been disastrous. So
• 01:08:42 unfortunately,
• 01:08:42 Iva does not have the, I’m so sorry, sweetheart.
• 01:08:47 Iva does not have the level of socialization that most of
• 01:08:50 you probably have at your ages.

Temerity

• 01:08:53 It’s a very, like…

Iva

• 01:08:57 I was like, and I didn’t really talk to my roommates.

Hazel

• 01:09:03 Someone just kind of laughs at that.

Temerity

• 01:09:05 Yeah.
• 01:09:12 Well,
• 01:09:13 Lucky for.
• 01:09:16 I bet you they’re at least in similar company I don’t know
• 01:09:21 how to phrase that.
• 01:09:23 Um,
• 01:09:24 Thank you.
• 01:09:26 Nah, never mind. I’m scrapping it.
• 01:09:29 Threw it into the trash can.
• 01:09:33 Hmm.
• 01:09:34 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 01:09:37 Yeah, to me it’s just like
• 01:09:41 Okay.
• 01:09:41 Um,
• 01:09:43 Well,
• 01:09:45 Iva, I think…

Hazel

• 01:09:54 I think the most pragmatic option is to be a human.

Iva

• 01:09:59 All right.
• 01:10:08 but I think I could have horns like you.
• 01:10:10 That’d be cool.

Temerity

• 01:10:13 it’s
• 01:10:19 Yeah, Temerity shaves their horns down and covers it with a
• 01:10:24 bandana.
• 01:10:25 So as you say that, Temerity just like touches their band
• 01:10:28 anas.

Iva

• 01:10:32 I mean, what else are they?
• 01:10:32 They’re bumps under your bandana.

Temerity

• 01:10:35 Just small bumps.

Iva

• 01:10:38 I guess Iva would say,
• 01:10:40 I could have bumps under your bandana.
• 01:10:43 Pfff.

Temerity

• 01:10:44 laughs

Dungeon Master

• 01:10:45 Maybe he saw a teethling with horns.
• 01:10:49 And this…
• 01:10:49 It’s at this point that Iva feels a hand on her shoulder
• 01:10:52 and…
• 01:10:54 And Anthusa walks up next to her and just like,
• 01:10:57 Not like whispering so quietly that it can’t be heard.
• 01:11:00 Um,
• 01:11:02 but trying to privately say to Iva,
• 01:11:05 Um, dear, you can’t go around saying things like that.
• 01:11:10 It’s a little, um…
• 01:11:11 It’s a little forward.

Temerity

• 01:11:13 I don’t know.

Iva

• 01:11:14 Iva goes, “Oh, this is… Oh, I understand. My bad. I’m
• 01:11:18 sorry, Temerity.”

Temerity

• 01:11:20 It’s okay, I’ve heard worse.

Iva

• 01:11:24 I think you’re pit to the Pope’s heartbeat.

Hazel

• 01:11:26 Hazel frowns at that and just kind of looks back at Temer
• 01:11:30 ity.
• 01:11:31 Just kind of like, like, gives her the pity look.
• 01:11:37 Gives him a pity look like, damn.

Temerity

• 01:11:45 It’s just like…
• 01:11:47 Not wanting to engage
• 01:11:49 too much
• 01:11:49 because it’s hella
• 01:11:52 uncomfortable. It’s just like
• 01:11:54 staring at the road.
• 01:11:57 It’s like walking.
• 01:12:00 Just…
• 01:12:02 Um,
• 01:12:06 But yeah, sure, go ahead.
• 01:12:08 I don’t have anything to add.

Hazel

• 01:12:09 I don’t get it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:12:13 At this point I’m waiting for Eylesis sizzle.
• 01:12:16 - Yeah.

Iva

• 01:12:19 And lips are fucking hard.

Temerity

• 01:12:23 Um,

Unidentified

• 01:12:30 Wow.

Hazel

• 01:12:39 What else was I like growing up?

Dungeon Master

• 01:12:45 Oh.
• 01:12:46 Um,
• 01:12:46 very
• 01:12:48 Very shy at first.
• 01:12:51 Still a little shy, to be honest.
• 01:12:53 Like she said, she doesn’t talk to her roommates.
• 01:12:56 Um,
• 01:12:58 Very, uh…
• 01:13:01 Actually, you know what?
• 01:13:02 Bruce, what does Anthusa say about Iva growing up?

Temerity

• 01:13:06 Eww!

Iva

• 01:13:07 shy, very
• 01:13:10 Shai is the correct word, actually.
• 01:13:12 Like, 100%.
• 01:13:13 I’ve actively avoided not only talking to, like, people her
• 01:13:17 age,
• 01:13:17 but, like, kind of just avoided, like, if Anthusa had
• 01:13:20 someone over…
• 01:13:22 I have a kid…
• 01:13:25 It wasn’t until she was in her teens…
• 01:13:29 when she decided she was going to start doing something to
• 01:13:32 help people.
• 01:13:33 which brought her a little out of her shell.
• 01:13:35 But immediately, Iva went from being Iva to putting on a
• 01:13:39 shell-like face.
• 01:13:42 Uh,
• 01:13:43 She kind of gets lost in her persona.

Dungeon Master

• 01:13:47 She said she was very shy.
• 01:13:50 It took her a long time to feel comfortable wearing a face
• 01:13:55 Um, and I think it wasn’t until a couple of years ago when
• 01:13:58 she, um, decided she was going to, um,
• 01:14:02 to join the Order of the Lantern,
• 01:14:05 that sense of purpose, I think,
• 01:14:08 is what helped her come out of her shell,
• 01:14:10 having a reason to put on a face.
• 01:14:13 Um,
• 01:14:15 It’s a shame that she could never
• 01:14:18 that we live in a world and a city where she couldn’t just
• 01:14:23 um,
• 01:14:27 where she had to worry about
• 01:14:29 That aspect of her…
• 01:14:34 her nature, her abilities.
• 01:14:36 worry about how she looked
• 01:14:38 for other people, but
• 01:14:39 because of that reality, it was always
• 01:14:42 very difficult for her to feel
• 01:14:44 comfortable being around others.
• 01:14:48 He’s a lads.

Hazel

• 01:14:51 Um,
• 01:14:53 Hmm.
• 01:14:56 and
• 01:14:58 She’ll just be like, ah, well,
• 01:15:02 uh,
• 01:15:03 I was very lucky that
• 01:15:06 I was very lucky to have had him to have such a caring
• 01:15:10 mother.
• 01:15:11 She smiles and says, thank you.
• 01:15:13 That’s very kind to say.
• 01:15:20 Fuck.
• 01:15:21 -
• 01:15:22 Temerity and…
• 01:15:25 And Hazel, the two, like,
• 01:15:27 The two orphans just being like, this is awesome.
• 01:15:29 I’m so happy for you.

Iva

• 01:15:33 And if
• 01:15:35 Anthusa never found me.
• 01:15:37 I probably just wound up dead.

Dungeon Master

• 01:15:41 Oh, I’m sure you would have found a…
• 01:15:44 a way to make a life for yourself, your
• 01:15:49 You’re very…
• 01:15:51 industrious when you need to be.

Rhysaene

• 01:15:57 - Yeah.

Hazel

• 01:16:02 So, Hazel, there.
• 01:16:04 He laughs under her breath about that one.

Iva

• 01:16:06 Thank you.
• 01:16:11 -
• 01:16:20 Um…
• 01:16:23 I think it goes, but
• 01:16:24 My childhood’s almost boring.
• 01:16:26 The only exciting thing I ever really did was join the
• 01:16:29 lantern
• 01:16:31 And well…
• 01:16:33 That plan didn’t go as well as I thought it would.

Temerity

• 01:16:37 Yeah.
• 01:16:42 Yeah.
• 01:16:43 Temerity nods.
• 01:16:48 Yep.
• 01:16:52 Well, hopefully this next plan goes better.
• 01:17:00 At least you have
• 01:17:01 more people in your corner now.
• 01:17:04 - Exactly.
• 01:17:10 uh,
• 01:17:12 Maybe it’ll give like a soft half smile.
• 01:17:15 it’s the,
• 01:17:16 first like smile on a you know since like we were at the
• 01:17:20 fucking bar the first day that we all met
• 01:17:26 so
• 01:17:28 uh,

Unidentified

• 01:17:32 Ah.
• 01:17:33 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:17:34 - Oh, there we go.
• 01:17:37 Welcome back.
• 01:17:38 I’m back. Sorry, my mic wasn’t working.

Temerity

• 01:17:40 - No worries.

Dungeon Master

• 01:17:43 Were you going to say Olivia?

Temerity

• 01:17:44 Nothing.
• 01:17:44 I was going to ask if there’s like a seasonal food
• 01:17:47 that Crick’s Bend usually has around this time of year
• 01:17:50 so that I could make more RP.

Dungeon Master

• 01:17:53 Potatoes.
• 01:17:55 potatoes and fish no it would if it would it would it would
• 01:17:59 certainly be fish
• 01:18:01 Um,
• 01:18:04 I’m not sure.

Temerity

• 01:18:05 It would be like a fish stew.

Dungeon Master

• 01:18:07 They grow up like potatoes and root vegetables closer to
• 01:18:11 Silverthorn, though.
• 01:18:13 But like everywhere grows, so like maybe, I don’t know when
• 01:18:16 you harvest corn.
• 01:18:18 Korn is late.
• 01:18:19 Like, fall rate?

Iva

• 01:18:20 Yeah, it’s fall, late fall.

Dungeon Master

• 01:18:23 They probably do like roast corn on the cob.

Temerity

• 01:18:26 Oh, yeah.
• 01:18:28 Yeah, Temerity’s fantasizing about that while we’re
• 01:18:30 walking.
• 01:18:31 He’s like mentioning that we might be able to get some.

Dungeon Master

• 01:18:35 As you all continue your journey north…
• 01:18:40 Temerity and Hazel, you probably remember that this is
• 01:18:44 about the area where the road kind of forks more to the
• 01:18:48 east.
• 01:18:48 - Mm-hmm.
• 01:18:50 All of you hear first and see second,
• 01:18:54 coming from the north, coming from off the road.
• 01:18:57 Um,
• 01:18:58 three riders on horseback.
• 01:19:01 um,
• 01:19:02 You can’t really tell much about them other than that they
• 01:19:04 ’re gleaming in the sunlight
• 01:19:06 and therefore are likely armored.

Temerity

• 01:19:09 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 01:19:11 Rhys, however,
• 01:19:13 you see what is gleaming in addition to what is clearly
• 01:19:19 like very nice, heavy,
• 01:19:23 probably scale mail or chain mail.
• 01:19:28 at the side of each of these men,
• 01:19:31 even from…
• 01:19:31 probably several hundred feet away,
• 01:19:34 dangling off each of these horses,
• 01:19:36 a gleaming silver lantern with a silver fire burning in it.
• 01:19:41 These three writers are,
• 01:19:44 are members of the Order of the Lantern
• 01:19:46 riding south towards the road.
• 01:19:50 Huh.
• 01:19:51 You all, you, you,
• 01:19:54 You have spotted them because they are
• 01:19:56 tall on horseback and wearing
• 01:19:58 bright armor. You don’t
• 01:20:00 think there’s any reason they would have seen you yet.
• 01:20:03 Um, but again, only risks can tell, uh, they, they carry
• 01:20:06 the lanterns.
• 01:20:07 The rest of you just see…
• 01:20:08 armored men on horseback,
• 01:20:11 heading south towards the road from
• 01:20:15 um,
• 01:20:17 - From the north.

Rhysaene

• 01:20:19 Hmm.
• 01:20:21 Uh…
• 01:20:24 Have a deal with Silver Lanterns.
• 01:20:28 easy to move out like this.

Iva

• 01:20:32 I don’t like to normally move out like this.

Dungeon Master

• 01:20:35 I don’t know.
• 01:20:37 Iva, you would know that the road, probably not too far
• 01:20:41 north of here, in fact, you may even be able to see it if
• 01:20:44 you look.
• 01:20:46 where they’re coming from that a like a lesser like less
• 01:20:50 traveled road not even a road but like
• 01:20:53 a a worn route forks off to the north um they are probably
• 01:20:58 coming from Thornwatch um and yes
• 01:21:01 The Order of the Lanterns move up and down to the various
• 01:21:06 watchtowers.
• 01:21:07 These three are likely riding south from Thornwatch, and I
• 01:21:11 ’d like to issue a small correction
• 01:21:14 Two of them are riding horses.
• 01:21:16 the third is still riding a horse but his horse is drawing
• 01:21:20 um a carriage they’re not
• 01:21:22 like riding at full gallop they are they are not a carriage
• 01:21:27 um a a cart
• 01:21:28 Um,
• 01:21:29 They’re not writing at full gallop, they’re making, like,
• 01:21:32 they’re moving at, like, a, like, a…
• 01:21:33 at a regular traveling pace because they were carrying this
• 01:21:36 cart with them.
• 01:21:37 And all of you would be able to see the cart.
• 01:21:39 It’s a big wooden carton.

Iva

• 01:21:42 Yeah, this seems fairly normal.

Luma

• 01:21:45 off the side of the road to get out of the way.
• 01:21:48 Someone steps off the side of the road.

Hazel

• 01:21:51 yeah yeah yield to the fire truck yeah

Dungeon Master

• 01:21:59 Yeah.
• 01:22:02 You all.
• 01:22:03 step off the side of the road
• 01:22:05 yielding the way to the
• 01:22:07 Um, the little mini caravan and as it passes, um,
• 01:22:11 one of the writers kind of looks over this large group of
• 01:22:16 like,
• 01:22:16 …disparate, very different travellers…
• 01:22:20 Um, kind of like
• 01:22:22 slows his horse and stops, and the others follow suit.
• 01:22:26 Um, it’s, it’s three.
• 01:22:28 Um, three, uh,
• 01:22:31 - Iva, you and Temerity both would recognize
• 01:22:34 that they each carry a silver lantern,
• 01:22:36 but none carry any other badges of station.
• 01:22:40 They are almost certainly light wardens.
• 01:22:45 Three Light Wardens, all human.
• 01:22:47 Um,
• 01:22:48 two men and one woman
• 01:22:51 the woman is driving the horse that’s carrying the cart.
• 01:22:55 The cart’s full of crates and, like, barrels,
• 01:22:57 and they’re covered with a tarp, like, haphazardly.
• 01:23:02 haphazardly, so you can still
• 01:23:04 see under its crates and barrels and
• 01:23:06 stuff like that.
• 01:23:08 Um,
• 01:23:09 The one that stopped first is a man with dark hair and,
• 01:23:14 like, a…
• 01:23:14 Um,
• 01:23:15 like a light beard…
• 01:23:17 Um,
• 01:23:19 kind of turns and says,
• 01:23:21 Hail, travellers.
• 01:23:23 Uh-huh.
• 01:23:24 Don’t usually see many heading…
• 01:23:27 this time of year.
• 01:23:29 Uh,
• 01:23:31 how fair the roads today.

Temerity

• 01:23:36 The roads are quiet, very
• 01:23:38 very peaceful
• 01:23:40 uh so far

Luma

• 01:23:45 - Clear all the way back to our gent thumb.

Temerity

• 01:23:48 Mm-hmm.

Luma

• 01:23:48 - Art.

Dungeon Master

• 01:23:52 Sorry, go ahead.

Temerity

• 01:23:53 No, I just said Temerity nods in agreement with Luma.

Dungeon Master

• 01:23:56 Are Temerity or Iva wearing their, like, their colors,
• 01:24:00 their tabards?

Temerity

• 01:24:01 Nah, Temerity wouldn’t have worn their…
• 01:24:05 Tavern.
• 01:24:06 they would have just worn like the clothes they wore coming
• 01:24:10 into
• 01:24:10 Argentum.
• 01:24:12 Yeah, that’s my lantern, though.

Hazel

• 01:24:14 Uh-huh.

Iva

• 01:24:14 - Oh, I know.
• 01:24:14 - Oh, okay.
• 01:24:17 - Yeah.
• 01:24:18 Uh…
• 01:24:20 Iva is not in like full uniform.

Dungeon Master

• 01:24:23 Uh-huh.
• 01:24:25 Armor, but not the tabard.

Iva

• 01:24:27 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:24:28 He nods and he looks like he’s about to…
• 01:24:34 continue on and then he glances down at Iva.
• 01:24:39 Says.
• 01:24:41 You a warden?
• 01:24:43 Iva goes, yes, but I’m off today.
• 01:24:48 He, he,
• 01:24:49 He nods and he says, ah,
• 01:24:53 Um, escorting, uh, uh,
• 01:24:55 - Shh.
• 01:24:56 travelers to
• 01:24:57 To the Crick.
• 01:24:59 - Yep.

Temerity

• 01:25:00 Many nods.

Dungeon Master

• 01:25:03 He says, all right, very well, I’ll just, the other writer,
• 01:25:07 um,
• 01:25:09 Older fellow
• 01:25:11 Also, the…
• 01:25:14 This guy has dark brown hair but with streaks of gray
• 01:25:18 coming in it, clean-shaven, short hair.
• 01:25:22 Um…
• 01:25:23 like cold, dark blue eyes kind of looks up and says…
• 01:25:28 Why are you carrying your lantern openly when you’re off
• 01:25:31 duty?
• 01:25:31 It’s against protocol.

Iva

• 01:25:35 I think it was…
• 01:25:37 Uh, I forgot to unhook it from my belt this morning.

Dungeon Master

• 01:25:42 forgot to unhook it.

Temerity

• 01:25:44 It looks like…

Dungeon Master

• 01:25:49 He turns…
• 01:25:50 He turns back to the woman who hasn’t said anything at this
• 01:25:56 point.
• 01:25:56 Can you believe this? This is what I’ve been saying this
• 01:25:59 entire time. Standards,
• 01:26:01 are
• 01:26:02 plummeting.
• 01:26:04 pretty fuck

Temerity

• 01:26:08 I’m not.

Dungeon Master

• 01:26:09 She just she looks at him and she nods and and and kind of
• 01:26:14 she looks at Iva says, what’s your name?
• 01:26:18 I don’t give a fake name.

Iva

• 01:26:24 What are you talking about?
• 01:26:29 She goes, I’m Light Warden D’Aquino.
• 01:26:32 Oh, shit.

Dungeon Master

• 01:26:37 Well, Warden D’Aquino,
• 01:26:41 Take that.
• 01:26:42 damn lantern off your belt.
• 01:26:47 - Will do.
• 01:26:48 that she does.
• 01:26:52 uh,
• 01:26:53 The guy, again, is like…
• 01:26:55 All right.
• 01:27:00 I,
• 01:27:01 I’m so tired of this.
• 01:27:02 I feel like we need to…
• 01:27:04 The first guy, the one who had stopped first…
• 01:27:06 says enough both of you we don’t have time for this we’ve
• 01:27:10 been recalled we need to get supplies
• 01:27:12 We need to get moving.
• 01:27:14 Um,
• 01:27:15 We have orders.
• 01:27:17 and they aren’t to be harassing off-duty wardens.
• 01:27:21 Again, we just don’t have time.
• 01:27:23 They nod.
• 01:27:23 Um, and,
• 01:27:25 He says, sorry for
• 01:27:27 the trouble, and it’s really, you can tell,
• 01:27:30 even though he hasn’t said anything like harsh,
• 01:27:33 compared to the other two.
• 01:27:35 The Sorry for the Trouble is directed at everyone but Iva.
• 01:27:39 Uh-oh.
• 01:27:41 Um,
• 01:27:42 He kind of like turns rolls his eyes.
• 01:27:45 Um, and, and, and kind of, uh, pulls the reins a little and
• 01:27:48 his horse starts galloping and
• 01:27:50 so do the others.
• 01:27:50 And they begin heading, uh, continuing on their journey
• 01:27:53 south.

Temerity

• 01:27:54 All right.

Dungeon Master

• 01:27:56 fuck.

Temerity

• 01:27:58 Please let them forget about this group of travelers.

Unidentified

• 01:28:03 Yeah.

Iva

• 01:28:04 I don’t look at Luma.
• 01:28:06 And goes, can I put my lantern in your bag?

Luma

• 01:28:10 Yes, but you have to be real cool with a lot of things real
• 01:28:14 quickly.
• 01:28:14 And she’ll open up the bag.
• 01:28:15 -

Iva

• 01:28:20 Not have a bag?
• 01:28:23 She does. It’s full of her mom’s extra stuff.

Unidentified

• 01:28:27 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 01:28:29 fucking

Iva

• 01:28:31 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 01:28:31 - Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 01:28:33 I will.
• 01:28:37 What does Iva have to be cool with real quickly, Eylesis?
• 01:28:41 Describe what Iva sees in there.

Luma

• 01:28:43 When Iva looks inside, the bag is…
• 01:28:47 fucking deep.
• 01:28:49 and full of a lot of crap.
• 01:28:52 It looks like
• 01:28:55 Just a pile of…
• 01:28:57 Garbage.
• 01:28:58 um but like well taken care of garbage none of the items in
• 01:29:02 there make any sense
• 01:29:04 Sigh
• 01:29:05 A lot like why Luma is carrying it all.
• 01:29:08 Um,
• 01:29:09 But yeah, it’s like, I think it’s like six feet deep.
• 01:29:12 or something like that.

Dungeon Master

• 01:29:13 Uh-huh, something like that.

Luma

• 01:29:15 Uh…
• 01:29:16 It’s a bag of holding, but yeah.
• 01:29:18 So offered to, I have a…
• 01:29:20 Don’t fall in.

Iva

• 01:29:22 If it looks into the bag, it’s just like…

Luma

• 01:29:26 Oh.
• 01:29:26 Bye.
• 01:29:27 Also, the inside of the bag has a bunch of writing on the
• 01:29:30 like interior and it’s just a bunch of the word big written
• 01:29:34 on.
• 01:29:34 in like golden and or yeah gold uh ink just all over the
• 01:29:38 inside of it

Temerity

• 01:29:40 Hehehehe.

Iva

• 01:29:42 Big, big, big, big, big.
• 01:29:46 I see. I get it.
• 01:29:48 Uh,
• 01:29:49 Iva looked in and goes,
• 01:29:52 This has raised many questions and none of which I want to

Luma

• 01:29:56 ask.
• 01:29:56 You said you would be okay with it.

Iva

• 01:29:58 They’re cool with it.
• 01:30:00 I haven’t said this is why I’m not going to ask right now.
• 01:30:04 Mm-hmm.
• 01:30:06 And she just drops the lantern in.

Luma

• 01:30:11 After…
• 01:30:12 like a half second longer than it should of this little cl
• 01:30:14 atter.

Iva

• 01:30:16 for you.

Luma

• 01:30:17 And the limit closes the bag.

Iva

• 01:30:19 Heba goes, “Luma’s got a weird bag, guys.”

Luma

• 01:30:22 No, it’s not weird. Don’t be mean to my bag. It’s fine.

Unidentified

• 01:30:28 laughs

Luma

• 01:30:31 Thank you.
• 01:30:32 She’ll pat the bag and put it back on her back.

Temerity

• 01:30:34 something weird

Luma

• 01:30:37 It’s not weird.

Temerity

• 01:30:39 It’s special.

Luma

• 01:30:41 - It’s different. - It’s big.

Temerity

• 01:30:43 I wanted a bigger bag, but

Luma

• 01:30:46 The inside got bigger, but not the outside.
• 01:30:48 I don’t know how to make the outside bigger.
• 01:30:51 It doesn’t work that way.

Temerity

• 01:30:57 Any of it just doesn’t work that way.
• 01:30:59 It’s all the way on the inside.

Dungeon Master

• 01:31:02 Yeah.
• 01:31:04 But so disappointed she doesn’t have a giant bag.

Hazel

• 01:31:08 Oh, it’s like a giant bag that’s smaller on the inside.
• 01:31:11 -

Rhysaene

• 01:31:13 I really like the idea that, like,
• 01:31:16 No matter what you drop in there and no matter what object,
• 01:31:20 it always sounds like a fucking frying pan hitting
• 01:31:24 something.

Luma

• 01:31:24 The metal pipe sound, yes.

Dungeon Master

• 01:31:29 Yeah.
• 01:31:31 Um,
• 01:31:34 You all resume your journey.

Temerity

• 01:31:37 Uh, he’s definitely worrying about that interaction biting
• 01:31:42 us in the ass later.

Dungeon Master

• 01:31:43 I would
• 01:31:45 also be worried about that personally.
• 01:31:48 A few hundred feet north of where you met these guys, you
• 01:31:51 see where the road forks off to a well-trodden path that
• 01:31:55 leads up north, which, Iva, you know this to be the route
• 01:31:59 to Thornwatch. There’s a bridge up…
• 01:32:02 like a wooden bridge over the river that way.
• 01:32:08 And, um,
• 01:32:09 It’s a
• 01:32:11 Where these guys obviously came from.
• 01:32:13 Anyone who wants to, if you feel like you’re paying
• 01:32:17 attention to, like…
• 01:32:17 Smaller details can give me a survival check.

Hazel

• 01:32:22 Hazel’s always paying attention to the finer details.
• 01:32:24 Oh yeah.
• 01:32:27 Do an actual good roll, guys.
• 01:32:31 Ooh.
• 01:32:31 - Seven. - 22.
• 01:32:32 Yo.

Dungeon Master

• 01:32:36 Put results in the chat, please.
• 01:32:39 Yes, ma’am.
• 01:32:41 22.7.
• 01:32:42 get mammed.
• 01:32:44 Someone roll a six.
• 01:32:46 Heh heh.

Temerity

• 01:32:47 Oh, I can roll.
• 01:32:50 I’ll give you your six.
• 01:32:51 Oh, never mind.

Dungeon Master

• 01:32:52 - Survival. - Survival.
• 01:32:53 If you’re paying attention to like,
• 01:32:57 like details of your environment and not just the just
• 01:33:00 zoning out.

Iva

• 01:33:02 I’m just on an adventure getting my mom to a safe place.

Hazel

• 01:33:06 Forgetting protocol.

Iva

• 01:33:08 - Forgetting protocol.

Dungeon Master

• 01:33:11 - Temerity and Hazel,
• 01:33:14 You notice the
• 01:33:17 The tracks in the dirt road of these writers…
• 01:33:22 very fresh tracks. Hazel,
• 01:33:24 you, like, obviously… I feel
• 01:33:26 like even Luma and
• 01:33:27 Aris, if you are looking,
• 01:33:30 because you know the writers
• 01:33:32 were just here, you see the tracks of three
• 01:33:34 horses and wagon wheels.
• 01:33:36 Very fresh tracks in this dirt road
• 01:33:37 that forks off to the north. But
• 01:33:39 Hazel and…
• 01:33:42 Um,
• 01:33:44 Temerity…
• 01:33:45 You see other sets of tracks, mostly horse…
• 01:33:49 horseshoe prints, but some boots, some other carts.
• 01:33:52 Um,
• 01:33:53 all within the past
• 01:33:56 week or so.
• 01:34:00 frequent travel up and down this side road.

Temerity

• 01:34:06 That makes sense.
• 01:34:13 They might--

Luma

• 01:34:17 Go ahead.

Iva

• 01:34:19 No, no, no.
• 01:34:20 Thank you.

Luma

• 01:34:22 There are more tracks heading up than leaving.

Dungeon Master

• 01:34:25 Um,
• 01:34:27 No.
• 01:34:28 There are more tracks heading south.
• 01:34:30 than heading north.
• 01:34:31 that I might be regarding the

Hazel

• 01:34:35 issue that we’re

Temerity

• 01:34:39 trying to preempt.

Luma

• 01:34:42 Well, for them to pull people away from guarding the border
• 01:34:45 to look into one problematic mage.

Hazel

• 01:34:49 I think it’s more of the…
• 01:34:51 They’re probably just…
• 01:34:54 The Watchtower has probably seen some stuff, if I had to
• 01:34:58 guess.

Temerity

• 01:34:59 Yeah.
• 01:35:00 If it is anything to deal with anything in Argentum,
• 01:35:03 Marcus

Dungeon Master

• 01:35:05 While the two of you are looking at tracks
• 01:35:08 at this fork in the road,
• 01:35:09 you notice most of the tracks off this dirt?
• 01:35:12 this dirt road are heading south.
• 01:35:15 Hazel, you notice
• 01:35:18 there are a roughly equivalent like frequency of like
• 01:35:22 similar, like,
• 01:35:23 like wagon tracks and horse hooves,
• 01:35:29 Harder to see because this road is more traveled
• 01:35:32 more used by literally
• 01:35:34 everyone and parts of it
• 01:35:36 are like cobble and not
• 01:35:39 dirt. But you
• 01:35:40 identify similar tracks heading
• 01:35:42 northeast
• 01:35:44 on the main road.

Hazel

• 01:35:46 Yeah.
• 01:35:48 Mm-hmm.
• 01:35:49 Hazel will like
• 01:35:51 will get down
• 01:35:53 On her.
• 01:35:56 Get down on all fours and…
• 01:36:01 So.
• 01:36:02 Try to like, she’ll inspect it closer.

Iva

• 01:36:05 Yeah.

Hazel

• 01:36:07 Um,
• 01:36:11 And she like
• 01:36:13 She looks back at the party and she goes, hmm.
• 01:36:18 There’s tracks going north as well.
• 01:36:21 um,
• 01:36:25 If I had to
• 01:36:28 I had to
• 01:36:29 - Guess.
• 01:36:33 it’s likely that there are more
• 01:36:35 There are more spottings of sorrow.
• 01:36:40 of the sorrow further in to the veil.

Temerity

• 01:36:43 Huh.
• 01:36:45 Thank you.
• 01:36:46 It’s a grim sign.

Rhysaene

• 01:36:48 I make sure…
• 01:36:52 Mission all the more important, huh?

Hazel

• 01:36:57 She nods and says…
• 01:37:00 Thank you.
• 01:37:01 and says we’ve kept the people
• 01:37:04 Okay.
• 01:37:05 We’ve kept the people north
• 01:37:07 uh north of here it’s safe for
• 01:37:10 Many, many years.
• 01:37:14 They just don’t know it.
• 01:37:18 Oh.
• 01:37:22 He kind of looks at Temerity.
• 01:37:26 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:37:26 demerity obviously doesn’t fully buy what you’re selling
• 01:37:32 but isn’t gonna like make an argument

Dungeon Master

• 01:37:42 Another…
• 01:37:43 Two hours of travel puts you eight hours into the…
• 01:37:46 to the day.
• 01:37:47 um,
• 01:37:49 You’re starting to feel the wear of the road.
• 01:37:51 Walking for eight hours straight is a lot.
• 01:37:55 Oh, yeah.
• 01:37:57 But…
• 01:37:58 Um,
• 01:37:59 As you, like…
• 01:38:00 come into that the end of the eighth hour Temerity you see
• 01:38:05 it first
• 01:38:05 Um,
• 01:38:06 you see the turnoff where there’s even a little sign that
• 01:38:11 says Crick’s Bend,
• 01:38:13 Uh,
• 01:38:14 Five miles.
• 01:38:17 Ah.
• 01:38:18 And you see the turnoff where…
• 01:38:21 Imperium?
• 01:38:25 - This is…
• 01:38:26 Yeah, we use miles.
• 01:38:29 We use in miles.
• 01:38:30 We use in feet.
• 01:38:32 - Boom.
• 01:38:34 And this is the turnoff of the main road.
• 01:38:38 The path north is more well-trodden than the path to…
• 01:38:43 to the watchtower earlier, but still not a maintained road
• 01:38:47 like the old road that runs past here to Silverthorn.

Temerity

• 01:38:51 Mm-hmm.
• 01:38:52 Temerity is taking the lead.
• 01:38:55 their step quickens a little bit, not like there aren’t
• 01:38:59 like
• 01:38:59 power walking, but they’re like, okay, we’re like at the
• 01:39:02 end of the journey.
• 01:39:04 They’re getting more excited.
• 01:39:06 They’re like not too far now, just down this road and we’ll
• 01:39:10 be at the creek.

Dungeon Master

• 01:39:19 um,
• 01:39:21 It’s another…
• 01:39:23 hour and a half of walking along this
• 01:39:25 Dirt Country Road.
• 01:39:28 still open field and a lot of farms out here.
• 01:39:32 They thinned out once you got away from the city and they
• 01:39:36 ’re thickening back up with big
• 01:39:37 open fields.
• 01:39:40 That look barren, but not for any nefarious reason, just
• 01:39:45 because Harvest was recently…
• 01:39:48 um,
• 01:39:50 getting so close to winter, anything that could be
• 01:39:52 harvested was, um, and, uh,
• 01:39:55 You continue to make your way north…
• 01:39:58 north towards the creek.
• 01:40:01 year

Luma

• 01:40:06 Yeah.
• 01:40:08 I’ve been walking for so long.

Temerity

• 01:40:11 Don’t worry, we can all--
• 01:40:14 Get a nice rest at the church.
• 01:40:18 Or at the…
• 01:40:19 else.

Rhysaene

• 01:40:20 Church.

Temerity

• 01:40:25 There’s also the, oh shit, what’s the name?
• 01:40:28 Again, the Miller…

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:29 Um, it’s just, uh, hold on, let me…
• 01:40:32 Let me pull up those…

Temerity

• 01:40:33 Miller’s House, I think.

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:35 Yeah.
• 01:40:36 I don’t trust that guy

Luma

• 01:40:38 oh yay we get to meet the Millers

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:40 it’s just the Millers house
• 01:40:43 Um, is yes, it is the Miller’s house.

Iva

• 01:40:48 that guy goes crazy after accepting a stone from
• 01:40:52 The star spawns.

Temerity

• 01:40:55 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 01:40:55 Um, you, you, you enter town from the south.
• 01:40:59 the roads starts to
• 01:41:02 um in town um the buildings are a lot closer together not
• 01:41:05 these sparsed out
• 01:41:06 like miles of farmland um but even in town people seem to
• 01:41:10 have like their own like
• 01:41:11 like little fields and, um, you can smell, um,
• 01:41:16 uh, food cooking.
• 01:41:18 Uh, we’re,
• 01:41:18 10 hours, um,
• 01:41:21 would put us at like 4:00 PM, I think.
• 01:41:25 Some people are probably starting on dinner.
• 01:41:28 - Uh.
• 01:41:30 in the town proper, here,
• 01:41:35 children playing in the streets and around the fields and
• 01:41:39 um,
• 01:41:40 And it’s just a lively little town as you make your way
• 01:41:44 into Crick’s Bend.
• 01:41:46 The first building you pass seems to be like an open public
• 01:41:52 stable area.
• 01:41:52 where people can leave their horses
• 01:41:54 Um,
• 01:41:57 There’s like a couple horses there and then a bunch of
• 01:41:59 empty stalls.
• 01:42:05 um,
• 01:42:07 Yeah, you’ve done it. You’ve made it to Crick’s Bend at
• 01:42:09 around 14.

Temerity

• 01:42:12 Yeah, as we’re pulling in, Temerity’s like, we can stay.
• 01:42:16 at the church.
• 01:42:17 free of charge, but if you’d prefer to have a room
• 01:42:20 for sure.
• 01:42:21 you can always stay at the Miller’s house.
• 01:42:25 Thank you.
• 01:42:26 He old man Miller.
• 01:42:30 rents the rooms
• 01:42:32 upstairs of his home.
• 01:42:34 uh,
• 01:42:35 Thank you.
• 01:42:36 that you can stay at.
• 01:42:41 we got to get y’all fed here for sure.
• 01:42:46 uh,
• 01:42:50 if
• 01:42:51 I won’t force you, but
• 01:42:54 uh,
• 01:42:56 Powerball.
• 01:42:57 most likely.
• 01:42:59 help with that endeavor and we can all share a meal
• 01:43:01 before we have to head out tomorrow.

Rhysaene

• 01:43:04 Thanks for meeting everyone’s parents!

Temerity

• 01:43:07 Hehehehehehe.

Iva

• 01:43:11 You ain’t lost in the church.
• 01:43:14 - Yeah. - Yeah.
• 01:43:14 - Dangerous for us?

Temerity

• 01:43:19 -
• 01:43:22 Yeah.
• 01:43:24 How long have y’all lived in Argentum?
• 01:43:26 that’s way more dangerous than pause abby thanks
• 01:43:35 Yeah, no, you’re gonna be fine. Just don’t cast magic
• 01:43:39 around paw.
• 01:43:39 Please.
• 01:43:40 Don’t cast magic around paw.
• 01:43:43 he doesn’t need to be involved with this.

Hazel

• 01:43:46 Hazel nods and says,
• 01:43:49 - Indeed.

Iva

• 01:43:52 Iva goes, “Well, I guess I should go quickly figure out my
• 01:43:55 new face before I meet someone and then have to change it
• 01:43:57 later.”

Rhysaene

• 01:43:58 Uh, does your- does your pawn my music?

Hazel

• 01:44:03 He loves to be like…
• 01:44:07 I have somewhere I need to go first.
• 01:44:08 And Hazel walks off.
• 01:44:13 Okay.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:15 Okay.
• 01:44:15 Where’s, uh,
• 01:44:17 Where’s Hazel going?

Hazel

• 01:44:18 Hazel’s going to the store that she went to last time she
• 01:44:22 was in Crick’s Bend.
• 01:44:23 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:25 Thank you.
• 01:44:26 I think it’s…
• 01:44:27 I think it, um,
• 01:44:28 it’s this one you had you would head up the road and into
• 01:44:32 like the center of town
• 01:44:37 Uh.

Hazel

• 01:44:39 I don’t know.
• 01:44:40 So I guess we’re all
• 01:44:41 Like, Hazel’s like…
• 01:44:44 Yeah, Hazel’s like, I have somewhere I need to go.
• 01:44:46 And then it’s like saying goodbye to someone,
• 01:44:48 but you park in the same area.

Luma

• 01:44:50 Uh-huh.
• 01:44:52 I was just walking, Hazel walked like 10 feet in front of
• 01:44:54 him.
• 01:44:55 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:44:56 You head up the main street…
• 01:45:00 and you get to a place where the street kind of goes
• 01:45:03 into a circle around a big old tree.
• 01:45:06 Near the tree is a well.
• 01:45:07 Um,
• 01:45:09 - This is the center of town.
• 01:45:14 Hazel, you remember the store is off on the,
• 01:45:17 is on this circle on the left, so to the west.
• 01:45:22 The Father Emberthumb’s Church also on the circle
• 01:45:25 to the northeast.
• 01:45:27 If you all want to, you don’t have to, but you can put your
• 01:45:31 tokens on if you want.

Temerity

• 01:45:33 Yeah, let me take a screenshot.

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:35 It is to scale, five foot squares.

Hazel

• 01:45:42 That’s so much dedication.
• 01:45:46 You want to talk about dedication?

Dungeon Master

• 01:45:48 You want to talk about…
• 01:45:49 Eylesis can confirm this is a long-standing thing with me.
• 01:45:53 I did map the entirety of the town for the D5E server to
• 01:45:58 scale as well.
• 01:46:01 Sam.
• 01:46:04 Um,
• 01:46:05 I specifically did it so I could use dynamic lighting and
• 01:46:09 set the town on fire.

Luma

• 01:46:13 Kat also did it, so…
• 01:46:15 when I ran three encounters in three different parts
• 01:46:17 of the city, I could be in all three
• 01:46:19 encounters at the same fucking time.

Dungeon Master

• 01:46:21 That was awesome.
• 01:46:23 What is the, oh, I see.
• 01:46:25 Oh, right, for Aev.
• 01:46:28 Thank you.
• 01:46:29 The center of town.
• 01:46:31 Um,
• 01:46:32 The building on the left, kind of where Hazel’s little
• 01:46:35 token is, is the general store.
• 01:46:38 The building on the northeast is the church.
• 01:46:42 Um,
• 01:46:43 So,
• 01:46:44 Hazel, as you kind of hit this, like,
• 01:46:47 the circle, Hazel begins to head to the general store.
• 01:46:49 What is everyone else doing?

Temerity

• 01:46:50 - Temerity’s trying to lead everybody to the church.

Dungeon Master

• 01:46:54 - Well, Temerity starts failing right about now.

Iva

• 01:46:57 Yeah, I’m going to run off and find somewhere a little more
• 01:47:01 secluded.

Temerity

• 01:47:02 Oh, yeah.
• 01:47:02 In that case, just--
• 01:47:07 If that’s the case, then just meet at the tree and, like,
• 01:47:10 10 minutes.
• 01:47:10 Temerity is going to go to the church, though.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:13 Okay, Temerity heads up to the church.

Temerity

• 01:47:15 Temerity’s excited to see Paul.
• 01:47:17 Temerity misses Paul.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:19 Hazel to the general store.
• 01:47:22 Luma going to the church.
• 01:47:25 on the edge.

Luma

• 01:47:26 Sorry, can you say that…
• 01:47:28 Luma is awkwardly following Temerity.
• 01:47:30 She doesn’t know where she’s supposed to be right now.

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:32 Iva and Rhys.

Rhysaene

• 01:47:35 Um, I will, I will follow
• 01:47:39 to Mary and
• 01:47:42 Luma.

Temerity

• 01:47:44 I presume that--
• 01:47:47 Iva’s mom follows me as well since this is her birth?
• 01:47:51 Yes. Well--

Dungeon Master

• 01:47:52 What’s Iva doing exactly? Sorry.

Iva

• 01:47:55 Iva needs to go put on a new face so she doesn’t have to do
• 01:47:58 this all over again.
• 01:48:00 getting with Father Emberthumb twice.

Dungeon Master

• 01:48:02 It’s…
• 01:48:04 It’s 4:00 PM, people are out and about
• 01:48:07 Um.
• 01:48:10 You could see gaps between houses.
• 01:48:13 You could maybe duck behind someone’s house…
• 01:48:16 Um,
• 01:48:17 in the shadows, but there aren’t really secluded places.
• 01:48:21 In like.
• 01:48:24 where you are. Like, you could look at the map
• 01:48:26 and tell me kind of where you want to go on here.
• 01:48:28 You don’t really… Like, the map is really
• 01:48:30 all you know about this town anyway.

Luma

• 01:48:33 Mm-hmm.
• 01:48:34 I have a tent if you want to set it up, I have a…

Iva

• 01:48:39 That one actually worked probably pretty well.
• 01:48:43 Yeah, Tetwood, we’re great.

Luma

• 01:48:46 - Okay, Luma will open up her bag
• 01:48:48 and like half of her body disappears
• 01:48:49 as she jumps into it.
• 01:48:53 a little bit of rummage later she pulls out
• 01:48:55 an entire tent
• 01:48:57 Like, old kit.
• 01:49:00 Hey, go.
• 01:49:01 If it’s two people,
• 01:49:03 I’m so sorry.
• 01:49:05 I don’t know.

Dungeon Master

• 01:49:06 Yeah, you were able to pull out that tent…
• 01:49:16 does not say anything about how long it takes to set up or
• 01:49:19 anything.
• 01:49:20 Thank you.
• 01:49:20 dungeons and dragons um but yeah you get a tent

Hazel

• 01:49:24 Because no one cares about that anymore.
• 01:49:26 You just set it up by saying, I set up the tent.
• 01:49:28 And then they go, ah, we’ll skip all that.
• 01:49:30 It’s 5 to 30 minutes.
• 01:49:33 I’m a boomer.

Dungeon Master

• 01:49:35 - Yeah.
• 01:49:37 I feel like
• 01:49:38 I feel like it’s closer to 30 for anyone but Hazel.
• 01:49:42 laughs
• 01:49:44 Anyone who wants to can correct me if I’m wrong.
• 01:49:47 Maybe Temerity.
• 01:49:48 Like, if your character’s gone camping a lot or anything
• 01:49:51 like that,
• 01:49:51 then it’d be faster.
• 01:49:53 Otherwise…

Hazel

• 01:49:55 Actually, I think Hazel would be bad at setting up a
• 01:49:57 traditional tent that you buy.
• 01:49:58 Because she sleeps out in the fucking…
• 01:50:01 Yeah, I would imagine Hazel’s the type to make the, like…
• 01:50:05 To make those, like, uh…
• 01:50:08 those
• 01:50:11 like shelters in the woods where you where you just like
• 01:50:14 make it out of a bunch of leaves.

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:15 No, that’s fair. Where are you guys?

Temerity

• 01:50:17 I’m just going to grab Iva
• 01:50:19 just to make this simpler and be like,
• 01:50:21 alright, here, follow me, and like, go
• 01:50:23 to kind of the back…
• 01:50:25 of the church.
• 01:50:27 and kind of hold the tent up as like a changing curtain
• 01:50:31 almost for Iva around Iva.
• 01:50:35 and just be in an area that’s kind of
• 01:50:38 blocked by either by like this fence and yeah,

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:42 Well, that…
• 01:50:43 That fence doesn’t really block vision.
• 01:50:45 It’s like a little, like, wood, like…
• 01:50:48 like a simple wood fence.
• 01:50:50 It doesn’t,
• 01:50:50 it doesn’t actually keep anything in or out or block vision
• 01:50:52 .

Temerity

• 01:50:53 Then like right here in the church,

Dungeon Master

• 01:50:56 you,
• 01:50:56 you get behind the church in the,
• 01:50:58 in the,
• 01:50:58 um,
• 01:51:00 Unfortunately, the shadows would be the other way,
• 01:51:02 but you get behind the church, no problem.
• 01:51:04 And here’s a spot where not a lot of people have like,
• 01:51:07 Direct line of sight, I have a with the tent thing up, you
• 01:51:10 can easily change your form.

Iva

• 01:51:12 Yeah, give me one second, because as Iva does this, she…
• 01:51:16 Ask Temerity.
• 01:51:18 To be like…
• 01:51:19 So I’ve kind of down to three…
• 01:51:23 Three looks.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:25 oh god uh-huh are Luma and wrist did lumen rest follow them

Rhysaene

• 01:51:30 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:51:32 wristed.

Rhysaene

• 01:51:34 Actually, if
• 01:51:37 If I sense that this is like a private moment, I think I’ll
• 01:51:41 …
• 01:51:42 I’ll just stand around.

Luma

• 01:51:45 no you mentioned music what’s up with that

Rhysaene

• 01:51:49 Oh, I can play.
• 01:51:51 Really?
• 01:51:52 Can you play?
• 01:51:52 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:51:57 Like what?

Rhysaene

• 01:51:58 I think I’m an artist and I can’t black.
• 01:52:00 You insult me.

Luma

• 01:52:03 What?
• 01:52:04 You could play multiple things?
• 01:52:05 No, I didn’t mean to insult you. I’m sorry.

Rhysaene

• 01:52:09 I’m just fucking with you.

Luma

• 01:52:12 Oh.

Rhysaene

• 01:52:12 Okay.
• 01:52:13 I’m making a joke.
• 01:52:16 But yeah, I complied.

Temerity

• 01:52:22 She can play everything
• 01:52:24 She can play everything

Rhysaene

• 01:52:27 I can play
• 01:52:29 Let me look at my
• 01:52:29 two proficiencies.

Iva

• 01:52:32 Olivia’s not going to check her messages.

Rhysaene

• 01:52:35 No, I can only play one instrument
• 01:52:37 I’m good with a lyre

Luma

• 01:52:40 Uh-oh.
• 01:52:41 That’s cool.
• 01:52:41 He’s a liar.

Rhysaene

• 01:52:43 Yeah.

Luma

• 01:52:44 A liar.

Rhysaene

• 01:52:46 Mm-hmm.
• 01:52:48 Can you play?

Luma

• 01:52:51 Um,
• 01:52:53 That depends.
• 01:52:56 I can play.
• 01:52:58 play well.
• 01:53:00 Probably not.

Rhysaene

• 01:53:04 Mm-hmm.
• 01:53:06 Press Save.
• 01:53:09 Do you think we should play a…
• 01:53:13 while our friends are out there.

Luma

• 01:53:15 I would love to listen.

Rhysaene

• 01:53:18 Alright, I’ll play a game for you.
• 01:53:22 Thank you.

Luma

• 01:53:24 Luma pulls a chair out of her bag and sets it down and sits

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:28 on it.
• 01:53:28 Luma.
• 01:53:30 - Ah.
• 01:53:30 Do you pull a chair out of your bag?
• 01:53:34 um,
• 01:53:39 On that chair as you pull it out is a flute.

Luma

• 01:53:47 I think there might be a gremlin in my bag, Rhys.
• 01:53:49 There’s a bagman in your bag.
• 01:53:51 and inspects it

Dungeon Master

• 01:53:56 Give me an investigation or an arcana check.

Rhysaene

• 01:53:58 I will do an arcana check if that’s okay.

Dungeon Master

• 01:54:02 You can as well.

Hazel

• 01:54:04 It’s going to explode into ink again.

Luma

• 01:54:07 Investigation, uh…
• 01:54:11 Seventeen.

Dungeon Master

• 01:54:13 Seventeen!
• 01:54:14 Um…
• 01:54:15 This time, you study the flute, carefully examine it, you
• 01:54:18 scratch it like you did the thing, and this one doesn’t
• 01:54:21 scratch.
• 01:54:22 Um, but.
• 01:54:23 like looking at it,
• 01:54:25 There’s just something about it that reminds you of other
• 01:54:28 stuff you’ve drawn into being…
• 01:54:32 Um,
• 01:54:33 it very much is a magical like item,
• 01:54:36 like created in a similar, like out of nothing.
• 01:54:40 Um,
• 01:54:42 very similar to the other things
• 01:54:44 And I, as the DM, can’t put the exact…
• 01:54:50 The exact words into detail is how you can tell, but
• 01:54:53 studying it and meeting the DC, you are able to tell that
• 01:54:58 this is something that has been created magically and
• 01:55:02 likely will not be imagined.
• 01:55:04 permanent, despite being
• 01:55:06 much more stable than the last thing.
• 01:55:08 Eylesis.
• 01:55:11 You may add this to your character sheet.

Luma

• 01:55:17 Oh.
• 01:55:18 While I read that,
• 01:55:19 Uh, Luma holds up the flute, and then looks to Risk, which
• 01:55:22 says, “I’m really worried that my bag might be at risk of
• 01:55:24 purification.”
• 01:55:26 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 01:55:26 Um…
• 01:55:31 Oh shit, I don’t think about it either.
• 01:55:33 Um,
• 01:55:37 Well,

Luma

• 01:55:39 Let’s give me an idea, though.

Rhysaene

• 01:55:40 Yeah, I mean, honestly, we can just play it straight.
• 01:55:43 It don’t matter.
• 01:55:46 You can…
• 01:55:50 I feel like they won’t.
• 01:55:53 check for that round here.

Luma

• 01:55:56 Oh, okay, that’s good.
• 01:55:57 I got a flute now so I can play with you.
• 01:56:00 Thank you.
• 01:56:04 Damn.

Rhysaene

• 01:56:08 You can just do that.

Luma

• 01:56:10 I think my bag did it.

Dungeon Master

• 01:56:18 Damn.
• 01:56:19 Um,
• 01:56:21 While you’re figuring that out, what’s up with Iva and…
• 01:56:26 Uh…
• 01:56:27 Temerity
• 01:56:28 I had interrupted you in the middle of something.

Iva

• 01:56:31 No, no, I have a…
• 01:56:32 I have a…
• 01:56:34 In the middle of like…
• 01:56:38 you know,
• 01:56:39 changing their face and body and stuff.
• 01:56:46 is asking Temerity like what they think,
• 01:56:50 what design they should go
• 01:56:52 what appearance
• 01:56:54 they should go for
• 01:56:55 and stuff like that
• 01:56:57 I assume Temerity’s doing her best as a shape changer
• 01:57:01 rapidly shifts.

Temerity

• 01:57:03 Yeah.

Iva

• 01:57:04 In front of her.

Temerity

• 01:57:06 To maybe essentially just see something.
• 01:57:10 going crazy.
• 01:57:13 And this
• 01:57:14 exposes a lot of biases Temerity has,
• 01:57:16 but as soon as Temerity sees a
• 01:57:18 human shape, it’s like that
• 01:57:20 one. One that’s
• 01:57:22 kind of like a bit more…
• 01:57:26 like a little dopey-ish
• 01:57:28 not dopey but like
• 01:57:29 I don’t know.

Unidentified

• 01:57:32 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:57:33 Gives off more of an airhead.

Iva

• 01:57:39 I will post what Olivia
• 01:57:41 had picked originally in
• 01:57:44 Until I bullied her a little…
• 01:57:46 And then she immediately regressed on that pick, I think.

Temerity

• 01:57:48 No, I didn’t regret.
• 01:57:50 I thought you were going to stick with that one.
• 01:57:51 That’s fine.

Iva

• 01:57:53 Why are you bullying Gary?

Temerity

• 01:57:54 Yeah, it’s cute.

Iva

• 01:57:56 Yeah.

Temerity

• 01:57:57 yeah it’s because he gave me three options and that one has
• 01:58:03 like the like the other two had
• 01:58:05 kind of flat chest and that one has big bizongers but i was
• 01:58:08 looking at the base

Hazel

• 01:58:10 Yeah, they seem like the plucky, like…
• 01:58:14 - Yeah.
• 01:58:15 anime girl type.
• 01:58:17 I don’t know.
• 01:58:19 that’s that’s that’s iva that’s iva i could show the other

Iva

• 01:58:24 options i gave her
• 01:58:26 But that is now over.

Temerity

• 01:58:28 Thank you.
• 01:58:30 If you’re fifth over the best.

Iva

• 01:58:33 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 01:58:33 um,
• 01:58:35 While all of this is going on, Hazel, you headed to the
• 01:58:38 store.
• 01:58:40 Um,
• 01:58:41 The general store is, like, a house that’s also, like, got
• 01:58:47 the barn attached that has been converted into this, like,
• 01:58:50 store.
• 01:58:52 um,
• 01:58:56 and the door is open.
• 01:58:58 Um, they probably close in the next hour or so you would
• 01:59:02 guess.
• 01:59:03 uh,
• 01:59:04 Thank you.

Hazel

• 01:59:05 Yes, Hazel slinks in and
• 01:59:10 scams, the
• 01:59:13 the store and then immediately goes to the to the front.

Dungeon Master

• 01:59:17 Head to the front.
• 01:59:17 The same woman you saw before is there.
• 01:59:22 She, uh,
• 01:59:23 She looks like she’s sitting behind the counter reading
• 01:59:29 something, like a book.

Hazel

• 01:59:33 Um,
• 01:59:35 Thank you.
• 01:59:36 Hazel.
• 01:59:38 kind of like
• 01:59:40 Mm-hmm.

Unidentified

• 01:59:41 They got it.
• 01:59:42 Ha ha ha!

Dungeon Master

• 01:59:44 Um,
• 01:59:45 She looks up and says, oh, how may I owe you?
• 01:59:49 You were here a few days ago, weren’t you?

Hazel

• 01:59:52 Yes.
• 01:59:53 I have returned for your laminated dough.

Dungeon Master

• 01:59:57 Oh, um.
• 02:00:00 Really? Sorry. Uh,
• 02:00:02 we usually,
• 02:00:02 uh,
• 02:00:03 sell out of those,
• 02:00:04 um,
• 02:00:06 pretty early in the day.
• 02:00:09 We got some bread, some…
• 02:00:12 some biscuits, but I’m afraid we’re out of the
• 02:00:16 the little pastries, but we’ll have more tomorrow morning.
• 02:00:19 or face crunches.
• 02:00:22 uh,

Hazel

• 02:00:26 disappointingly and goes I will
• 02:00:30 I will.
• 02:00:32 I will take some
• 02:00:33 Some of your bread.

Dungeon Master

• 02:00:35 She grabs a loaf of bread and…
• 02:00:39 and puts it up and says it’ll be…
• 02:00:43 two anvils,

Hazel

• 02:00:46 She’ll put two anvils on the table and then
• 02:00:51 It says, um,
• 02:00:52 Thank you.
• 02:00:53 uh,
• 02:00:55 I,
• 02:00:58 I hope you have
• 02:01:00 a nice day and she
• 02:01:03 backs out and leaves.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:04 She’s, say, you too.
• 02:01:06 Okay, bye.
• 02:01:08 She’s going to go to the church
• 02:01:11 You head up to the church
• 02:01:13 Rhys and Luma
• 02:01:15 Are you guys playing music?
• 02:01:18 Try them.

Rhysaene

• 02:01:19 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:21 um, you’ve,
• 02:01:24 you can give me…
• 02:01:27 charisma, performance checks, or if you are proficient in
• 02:01:31 an instrument and not performance,
• 02:01:33 you can still roll with proficiency.
• 02:01:35 Yeah.
• 02:01:37 In the instrument you’re playing.
• 02:01:38 to be clear
• 02:01:40 - Hold up.

Luma

• 02:01:42 A 5.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:45 A 5?

Luma

• 02:01:45 Yep.

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:46 Okay.
• 02:01:50 What about you, Rhys?
• 02:01:50 I can laugh at you.

Rhysaene

• 02:01:53 I’m sorry.
• 02:01:55 Daddy 20

Dungeon Master

• 02:01:59 You’re a gremlin.
• 02:02:01 Um,
• 02:02:03 Luma was not wrong about not…
• 02:02:07 necessarily playing well but there’s a lot of reasons that
• 02:02:11 could be this is a new flute
• 02:02:13 Technically it’s made out of ink.
• 02:02:15 Um,
• 02:02:17 Maybe, maybe…
• 02:02:18 Maybe you forgot to draw a reed, or maybe there’s no reed
• 02:02:21 in it because it was kind of like spontaneously created and
• 02:02:24 not deliberately created.
• 02:02:26 Um,

Luma

• 02:02:28 I don’t have reads, but yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:30 Okay, well, that’s fine.
• 02:02:32 I thought flutes did have reeds.

Luma

• 02:02:34 You’re thinking of a clarinet.
• 02:02:38 It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine.

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:40 Not like a recorder, does a real flute not have reads?

Luma

• 02:02:44 No.

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:45 Okay.
• 02:02:45 Um, whatever it is, um, Luma’s playing is really bad, so
• 02:02:50 ha!
• 02:02:50 I was trying to spare you embarrassment, but it’s your
• 02:02:53 fault, not the instruments.

Temerity

• 02:02:55 Um…

Dungeon Master

• 02:02:57 No, whatever it is, something about the flute sounds off,
• 02:03:00 but that’s very drowned out by the…
• 02:03:03 by Rhys’s a Liar, which is very expertly played.
• 02:03:07 And you kind of hear this discordant,
• 02:03:11 kind of like still somehow charming music
• 02:03:14 as you approach Hazel.
• 02:03:15 Um, I have an, an,
• 02:03:18 um,
• 02:03:20 Temerity, you guys hear it from around the corner.

Temerity

• 02:03:22 Mm-hmm.
• 02:03:24 Um…
• 02:03:26 I presume.
• 02:03:27 Iva has picked their sheep.
• 02:03:30 or her shape.
• 02:03:34 by about this point.
• 02:03:34 And it’s going to walk back around the corner.
• 02:03:40 See the plane.
• 02:03:41 See who’s playing.
• 02:03:44 Be like, damn.
• 02:03:45 Yeah, I didn’t know Rhys could fucking…
• 02:03:48 throw down like that.

Iva

• 02:03:50 Damn, I didn’t know Luma was so bad.

Luma

• 02:03:53 Luma’s grinning, and she has inexplicable black lipstick.
• 02:03:59 -

Temerity

• 02:04:02 - Yeah.
• 02:04:03 Oh, he’s going to extend the tent back to Luma.
• 02:04:09 Be like, sorry to interrupt, but here’s your tent back.

Iva

• 02:04:12 They worked great.

Luma

• 02:04:14 Just stuff it back in the bag.

Dungeon Master

• 02:04:16 I have a phone in the bag.
• 02:04:18 Iva looks entirely different as a…
• 02:04:21 to Temerity and Iva come back around the corner.

Hazel

• 02:04:25 - Oh, who are you?
• 02:04:26 You’ve chosen a good face.
• 02:04:28 Thank you.
• 02:04:28 That’s Iva.

Iva

• 02:04:30 Iva goes, “It’s Iva!”

Luma

• 02:04:31 Hi, Eva.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:33 Hey, are you taller?

Iva

• 02:04:36 And everyone goes, yes.

Rhysaene

• 02:04:38 Are you looking like a cutie patootie?

Iva

• 02:04:41 I have a plushie’s ghost, aww.
• 02:04:44 help me pick

Rhysaene

• 02:04:50 That does not change what I said.
• 02:04:58 Thank you for your help, Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:05:00 community.
• 02:05:03 seriously
• 02:05:06 ready shrugs is like
• 02:05:08 I mean
• 02:05:10 Ultimately, it was--
• 02:05:12 Her choice.
• 02:05:14 But.
• 02:05:17 Uh…
• 02:05:19 No problem.
• 02:05:20 And it’s like, all right.
• 02:05:23 I’m going to go inside the abbey and try and see if we can
• 02:05:28 house…
• 02:05:31 Oh my God, my brain.
• 02:05:33 I’m a--
• 02:05:36 And Usa. Yes.
• 02:05:39 I wanted to say Amethusa for some reason, Anthusa.
• 02:05:43 see if we can get
• 02:05:45 And there’s a house for the night.
• 02:05:48 So Temerity is going to lead everyone to the front door.

Dungeon Master

• 02:05:52 You lead everyone around to the front door.
• 02:05:56 The church is…
• 02:05:58 What was it made out of?
• 02:06:00 I think you specified, and I don’t want to fuck it up.

Temerity

• 02:06:03 It’s just wood.
• 02:06:05 It’s a purely wooden construction, obviously, like…
• 02:06:09 uh,
• 02:06:12 handmade, it looks
• 02:06:14 like probably one of the older buildings in the town.
• 02:06:21 It’s not super ornate or anything.
• 02:06:25 The wood’s not like stained or…
• 02:06:27 or super well
• 02:06:33 sanded, but it’s
• 02:06:35 Sturdy enough.

Dungeon Master

• 02:06:41 Um, are there any, like, is it just like a, like a plain
• 02:06:44 building?
• 02:06:45 Is it what, is there anything that distinguishes it from
• 02:06:48 like a house or like a, a shop?

Temerity

• 02:06:51 Uh, probably, if possible, having an encarving of, like,
• 02:06:58 the silver flame on the front.
• 02:06:59 to signify that’s like a…
• 02:07:02 Holy.
• 02:07:02 place.
• 02:07:02 Absolutely.

Dungeon Master

• 02:07:04 There’s a carving
• 02:07:07 Um,
• 02:07:07 on the front of the church
• 02:07:09 kind of embossed into the wooden construction of a mote of
• 02:07:14 fire. It doesn’t match
• 02:07:16 Um, the, uh,
• 02:07:20 The symbol on your tabard exactly…
• 02:07:24 Um,
• 02:07:25 just by the nature of,
• 02:07:26 of trans translation.
• 02:07:29 But it does look exactly like the one in your necklace.
• 02:07:33 um and the door is open you head inside um
• 02:07:38 Thank you.
• 02:07:39 There’s no service today.
• 02:07:41 So there’s not really anyone in here
• 02:07:44 Um, and, and far at the back, um, at the little desk that
• 02:07:48 sits, uh, up on the, the like raised dais, um,
• 02:07:52 Um,
• 02:07:54 by the couple bookshelves, a little old halfling man
• 02:07:59 um, scribbling away on parchment, um,
• 02:08:04 by lantern light, um,
• 02:08:06 as the sun is starting to go low on the horizon.
• 02:08:11 It’s not dark out by any means, but the light coming
• 02:08:14 through the windows is not enough to write by, so he’s
• 02:08:17 writing by lantern.

Temerity

• 02:08:19 - Mm-hmm.
• 02:08:19 There’s also, just to
• 02:08:22 to specify one very small detail, but it’s important to me,
• 02:08:26 there is a church bell.
• 02:08:28 in the church.
• 02:08:30 just to signify times for worship.
• 02:08:32 Yeah.
• 02:08:35 With a little hammer.
• 02:08:37 Uh…

Dungeon Master

• 02:08:38 Will hammer bell.

Temerity

• 02:08:40 Yeah, a little hammer sitting nearby.
• 02:08:43 It’s a real fancy house.
• 02:08:45 Well, this is the church.

Dungeon Master

• 02:08:47 I don’t know.
• 02:08:49 There are two rows of pews with a space between them to
• 02:08:53 walk up and down.

Temerity

• 02:08:54 Temerity has like the most like
• 02:08:58 Guard lowered just
• 02:09:01 I’m home smile.
• 02:09:04 As they walk in.
• 02:09:06 down the pews.
• 02:09:10 And they’re going to call out…
• 02:09:14 Pa.
• 02:09:15 Um…

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:17 Yeah? Who’s the…
• 02:09:20 is that you?
• 02:09:21 laughs

Hazel

• 02:09:23 I was beginning to worry that they could not express joy.

Luma

• 02:09:27 What’s wrong with their face?
• 02:09:33 It’s all twisted.
• 02:09:33 i didn’t know their lips could go up father father ember

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:41 thumb um
• 02:09:42 Would you like to describe him?
• 02:09:44 I think you have a picture.

Temerity

• 02:09:46 You have art.
• 02:09:46 Yeah, I do.
• 02:09:46 I do have art.
• 02:09:48 I’ll post it in the game chat just as a refresher.
• 02:09:53 But yeah.
• 02:09:55 Well, only, I think,

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:56 Oh, you’ve posted it before.

Temerity

• 02:09:58 Yeah, I’ve posted it in Facebook.

Dungeon Master

• 02:09:59 So far, only two of you have met…
• 02:10:02 Father Emberthumb.

Temerity

• 02:10:03 Yeah, let me pull this up real fast.
• 02:10:07 Doo-doo-doo-doo-bee-doo-doo-doo.
• 02:10:12 There we go.
• 02:10:14 He is a…
• 02:10:17 small little
• 02:10:19 old halfling man
• 02:10:21 He is…
• 02:10:24 Later in his years with
• 02:10:26 a small liver spot on
• 02:10:28 his crown.
• 02:10:29 uh,
• 02:10:30 where hair used to reside, but has long faded away.
• 02:10:36 Um,
• 02:10:37 His hair is…
• 02:10:40 Calling it Salt and Pepper would be doing a disservice to
• 02:10:45 the amount of salt in his hair.
• 02:10:50 uh, very much gray with flecks of…
• 02:10:56 what looks to be dark.
• 02:10:58 oak brown
• 02:10:59 uh,
• 02:11:00 that’s faded.
• 02:11:02 Um,
• 02:11:03 He has very soft, kind eyes, and he is a bit thin.
• 02:11:08 Just--
• 02:11:10 as
• 02:11:11 just want to happen to many who
• 02:11:13 have reached.
• 02:11:15 his age, which is very few in the Vale.
• 02:11:18 I presume.
• 02:11:20 Mm-hmm.
• 02:11:22 Thank you.
• 02:11:23 and
• 02:11:24 Yeah, that’s about all my description for them.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:27 He hops…
• 02:11:28 Oh, go ahead.
• 02:11:30 He hops down from the chair.
• 02:11:32 Um,
• 02:11:32 And and.
• 02:11:34 Not running, but very quickly moves toward Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:11:38 Temerity is matching that.
• 02:11:39 And as soon as they get close, like Temerity is going to
• 02:11:42 like pick them up into a hug.
• 02:11:45 Pick them up into a hug.
• 02:11:47 Just like, it’s me.

Dungeon Master

• 02:11:48 Temerity, if I have told you once, I’ve told you a hundred
• 02:11:51 times, it is very disrespectful to pick up a halfling.

Temerity

• 02:11:55 Temerity just chuckles.
• 02:11:57 It’s like, it’s nice to see you too, Pa.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:00 Pa.
• 02:12:00 He smiles and while up there gives Temerity like a little
• 02:12:04 kiss on the forehead.

Temerity

• 02:12:05 - Oh.
• 02:12:07 Hehehehe.
• 02:12:10 And Temerity is going to set him down.
• 02:12:13 And be like, I’m sorry, I didn’t let you know sooner that I
• 02:12:16 was coming, but

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:18 Oh, it’s no worry at all. I only just got your letter this
• 02:12:22 morning.
• 02:12:25 Or your bird is still here, by the way.
• 02:12:30 I’ve not yet written a reply.
• 02:12:33 It is back in the house.

Temerity

• 02:12:35 Ah.
• 02:12:36 uh,
• 02:12:38 We can…
• 02:12:39 We can talk about that later.
• 02:12:41 It’s fucking better.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:43 Yes, of course.
• 02:12:46 “Who are all your friends?” He looks at each of you. His
• 02:12:49 eyes linger on Rhys a moment longer than anyone else.

Temerity

• 02:12:53 They’re people that I’ve met in Argentum.

Dungeon Master

• 02:12:58 Hello, I’m Luma.
• 02:13:01 Oh, hello, Miss Luma.
• 02:13:02 Iva?

Temerity

• 02:13:05 Mm-hmm.
• 02:13:06 Wait, how does he know Iva?

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:07 - She just said her name.

Temerity

• 02:13:10 Oh, I didn’t hear Bruce, sorry.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:12 He turns and says, “Ah, Hazel, I’m surprised to see you
• 02:13:16 here again.”

Hazel

• 02:13:18 uh,
• 02:13:20 Hazel
• 02:13:21 nods and says,
• 02:13:22 I found Temerity.
• 02:13:24 yes indeed
• 02:13:25 I

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:27 I
• 02:13:27 I’m glad that you did.
• 02:13:30 Oh.
• 02:13:32 Are you the reason?
• 02:13:35 Why?
• 02:13:36 Are you who I owe for this unexpected visit from my child?

Hazel

• 02:13:43 Um,
• 02:13:47 You could say that, yes.

Dungeon Master

• 02:13:50 He looks at the two people who haven’t introduced
• 02:13:56 themselves yet.

Rhysaene

• 02:13:58 Uh…
• 02:13:59 I’m Rhysaene. Pleasure to meet you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:01 It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Rhysaene.
• 02:14:04 And you, this striking lovely woman is…
• 02:14:10 - Oh.
• 02:14:12 And she says, oh my, I’m Anthusa Toguri.
• 02:14:17 It’s nice to meet you.

Rhysaene

• 02:14:18 Give me a fucking bite.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:21 Don’t flirt with my mom.
• 02:14:27 um,
• 02:14:28 Quite a group you’ve assembled, Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:14:33 laughs
• 02:14:33 Yes, we’re…
• 02:14:36 - Escorting.
• 02:14:38 and do so.
• 02:14:39 Uh…
• 02:14:40 and we’re hoping that we could
• 02:14:42 find lodging here for the night, at least for--
• 02:14:47 for her.

Dungeon Master

• 02:14:49 Secondly,
• 02:14:49 Um,
• 02:14:51 There are quite a few of you, there’s not room in the house
• 02:14:56 .
• 02:14:56 If I give Anthusa your old room, I suppose the rest of you
• 02:15:01 could lodge in the church itself.

Temerity

• 02:15:04 Mm-hmm. I’ve also explained that the Miller’s house is
• 02:15:07 available to them if they would like to…

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:09 Oh, to Maritine, no.
• 02:15:13 Um…
• 02:15:13 Friends of yours do not need to pay money to stay somewhere
• 02:15:15 else.
• 02:15:16 The pews are not the most comfortable beds, but we have
• 02:15:19 plenty of blankets back in the house.
• 02:15:21 I’ll bring them over after dinner for everyone.
• 02:15:25 Blankets and pillows and the like.
• 02:15:28 Anyone could pick out a pew or sleep on the floor.
• 02:15:32 I’m sorry, I don’t have more like proper room.
• 02:15:34 If you would like to stay in a real bed,
• 02:15:36 you could go to Miller’s house, but he will charge you.

Iva

• 02:15:45 Promo case would be on the pews.

Dungeon Master

• 02:15:48 Um, you, you, you, oh, you have a tent.
• 02:15:50 That’s nice.
• 02:15:51 Um, we have a, a, a, a, the church grounds are very large,
• 02:15:55 plenty of places a tent could
• 02:15:56 be set up.

Temerity

• 02:15:58 Awesome.
• 02:15:59 I’m calling Cameron.

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:01 backyard camping
• 02:16:03 I feel like
• 02:16:05 Temerity would have done some backyard

Temerity

• 02:16:08 camping yeah definitely
• 02:16:10 yeah no father Emberthumb absolutely
• 02:16:12 took them out backyard camping whenever
• 02:16:14 they were a kid especially since they didn’t really
• 02:16:16 interact with most of the town
• 02:16:17 during that time

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:20 He nods and says, I have an old tent back in the house
• 02:16:23 if you’re all more comfortable roughing it
• 02:16:27 in the great outdoors of the…
• 02:16:29 the church grounds, I could get the other tent for you
• 02:16:31 if you’d prefer that to the,
• 02:16:33 to the Abbey

Temerity

• 02:16:35 Uh…

Hazel

• 02:16:37 Thank you.
• 02:16:38 Hazel will nod and say I will.
• 02:16:41 I would.
• 02:16:44 I would prefer to
• 02:16:48 Listen.
• 02:16:50 to the wilderness tonight.

Dungeon Master

• 02:16:52 No.
• 02:16:53 Very well.
• 02:16:55 I’ll still give…
• 02:16:56 provide blankets, pillows.
• 02:16:58 You’ll all eat at my table, of course, for dinner.
• 02:17:02 Um… well…
• 02:17:04 Um, maybe we’ll eat in the, uh, in the Abbey, actually, he
• 02:17:09 says as he looks at Rhys.
• 02:17:13 - They’re just,
• 02:17:14 not enough room.
• 02:17:16 Temerity, of course, you can move the table in here, no
• 02:17:19 problem.
• 02:17:19 You can move a few of the pews out of the way and bring the
• 02:17:22 table from the house.
• 02:17:24 Or there’s probably a table, like, in, like, the church
• 02:17:27 storage room
• 02:17:27 for, like, functions, actually.

Temerity

• 02:17:29 Yeah, yeah.
• 02:17:29 .
• 02:17:30 Yeah, no problem, Pa.
• 02:17:34 to marry the wall.
• 02:17:36 We’ll nod at that.
• 02:17:38 Uh…
• 02:17:39 Temerity will stay in the Abbey.

Luma

• 02:17:42 Mr. Emberthumb, I have a question.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:44 Oh, yes, your name was Luma, was it?

Luma

• 02:17:48 Yes.

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:49 Would you like to know?

Luma

• 02:17:51 That’s right, but I’m how old are you?

Dungeon Master

• 02:17:57 Hold on.
• 02:17:58 you
• 02:18:00 I got to open his notes.
• 02:18:02 I am.
• 02:18:03 A very spry 96 years old.

Luma

• 02:18:06 Ah, I think too young.
• 02:18:06 Okay, thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:11 Wish I could say that I felt the same way about that number
• 02:18:15 , but…

Luma

• 02:18:16 You’re like half as old as I want you to be, it’s okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:20 It’s…
• 02:18:22 In…
• 02:18:24 in,
• 02:18:24 About a century, give or take a few years, I will be the
• 02:18:28 exact age you would like me
• 02:18:29 to be if I’m still blessed with life.

Luma

• 02:18:35 That’s,
• 02:18:36 - Unlikely.
• 02:18:37 I need…
• 02:18:38 past, not
• 02:18:39 future.
• 02:18:40 It’s okay.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:42 All right. I don’t understand, but okay.
• 02:18:45 he he he

Temerity

• 02:18:46 Yeah.
• 02:18:48 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:18:52 Well, uh,
• 02:18:54 I suppose I’ll go get the tent so you all can set it up and
• 02:18:58 then I’ll start on dinner.

Temerity

• 02:19:00 Yeah, it will start moving the table out and moving some pe
• 02:19:04 ws.

Rhysaene

• 02:19:04 Do you mind…
• 02:19:06 Do you mind by asking what you’re cooking up?

Dungeon Master

• 02:19:09 Oh, um…
• 02:19:11 Just tell me you have roasted corn.
• 02:19:15 Kate looks at Temerity.
• 02:19:18 He says, well,
• 02:19:19 I wasn’t going to do corn, but I suppose we could start the
• 02:19:23 fire outside if we’re camping.
• 02:19:26 and we can roast corn and
• 02:19:29 I was going to cook up a fish stew with some carrots and

Rhysaene

• 02:19:33 potatoes.
• 02:19:33 How beautiful.

Hazel

• 02:19:35 be.
• 02:19:37 Hazel because I don’t think the old man should be camping.

Dungeon Master

• 02:19:41 no no no i i will sleep inside um
• 02:19:46 My tent is not very
• 02:19:49 Not, not, not, not too big, um…
• 02:19:52 I will leave the roughing it in the outdoors for the young.
• 02:19:57 Good.
• 02:19:58 Anthusa looks up and says
• 02:20:00 fish stew would you like some
• 02:20:02 help in the kitchen and
• 02:20:05 He nods and says, “Of course.”
• 02:20:08 Absolutely.
• 02:20:10 um,
• 02:20:11 And, and,
• 02:20:12 Uh, he,
• 02:20:13 He heads into the house.
• 02:20:16 with
• 02:20:17 with Anthusa and he comes back alone
• 02:20:20 like five minutes later with a bundle of cloth and sticks
• 02:20:24 that has not properly been put away.
• 02:20:27 And it’s just like tied with a rope.
• 02:20:30 Um,
• 02:20:31 And he says, here’s our tent, it’s been a while since we’ve
• 02:20:35 used it.
• 02:20:35 Feel free to pick out any spot on the grounds.

Rhysaene

• 02:20:38 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:20:40 I don’t know.
• 02:20:42 Temerity…
• 02:20:43 No problem. You push the pews to the walls, leaving the
• 02:20:48 church floor open. You go into storage, you find
• 02:20:51 The one of the like large dining, like simple, not anything
• 02:20:56 fancy, but a large like dining table usually used to set
• 02:20:59 out food for like functions and stuff.
• 02:21:02 and pull it out and you go and you find some like
• 02:21:05 um,
• 02:21:07 not chairs, but like backless stools that are kept in the
• 02:21:12 back as well.
• 02:21:12 simple wooden stools, and set those up in an arrangement
• 02:21:16 for dinner.
• 02:21:17 Um,

Iva

• 02:21:22 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:23 Uh, all of that, no problem.
• 02:21:24 They get, they get started on, um, cooking, um, the smell
• 02:21:28 of, of the fish stew.
• 02:21:29 You guys can smell kind of like wafting from the, uh…
• 02:21:32 the chimney as you presumably start setting up the tents.

Luma

• 02:21:40 I would also think so.
• 02:21:41 Not sure where Luma puts her 10th.

Dungeon Master

• 02:21:44 Luma puts her tent near the…
• 02:21:47 It’s like a…
• 02:21:48 um almost more tended than the roads these like
• 02:21:52 These are, like, decorating these…
• 02:21:55 Not decorating, but creating and maintaining these paths is
• 02:21:58 one of…
• 02:22:00 Father Emberthumb’s, like, hobbies…
• 02:22:03 Kind of like gardening, he rakes the paths to keep them
• 02:22:07 clear of weeds and grass.
• 02:22:09 And he decorates their edges with little stones from the
• 02:22:13 river.
• 02:22:15 out.
• 02:22:17 you set up on the edge of the path under a very large old
• 02:22:20 tree that sits in
• 02:22:22 the middle of the grounds.

Luma

• 02:22:24 Actually, she’s going to put the fire
• 02:22:26 on the path so she doesn’t set anything on fire.

Dungeon Master

• 02:22:30 I don’t know.
• 02:22:31 Easy enough to do, you’re able to build your little fire in
• 02:22:34 the path.

Temerity

• 02:22:36 I think we do.
• 02:22:38 How?
• 02:22:39 How long would dinner take?
• 02:22:41 Would Temerity have time to, like, go visit the Kembles?

Dungeon Master

• 02:22:45 Um…
• 02:22:47 Dinner’s probably an hour, an hour or two, somewhere in
• 02:22:52 that range.
• 02:22:54 Um,
• 02:22:55 The Kemble’s farm is like a thousand feet.
• 02:23:00 it is hold on I can actually tell you
• 02:23:02 It is 1110 feet from Temerity.
• 02:23:07 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:23:09 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 02:23:10 so specific.
• 02:23:12 As the crow flies, slightly longer taking the road.

Temerity

• 02:23:17 So yeah, I would, I would assume so.
• 02:23:21 Cause that’s like.
• 02:23:21 Like a five-minute walk.
• 02:23:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 02:23:26 So yeah, Temerity will say that they’re going to go visit
• 02:23:30 a friend, just make themselves at home.
• 02:23:33 and Temerity is going to be back.

Dungeon Master

• 02:23:36 Um,
• 02:23:37 - Sure.
• 02:23:38 You head out and you head down that way.
• 02:23:42 um,
• 02:23:44 While you’re all
• 02:23:46 So Luma’s setting up a tent and a fire
• 02:23:50 Temerity’s going to visit the Kembles.
• 02:23:54 What’s everyone else doing?

Rhysaene

• 02:23:56 Um,
• 02:23:58 I hope, old man.

• 02:24:00 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 02:24:02 Yeah, I think she reverts to
• 02:24:04 Form hand mode.
• 02:24:06 um helps
• 02:24:08 get like the campsite set up and everything yeah you’re

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:11 able to help with the campsite no problem
• 02:24:14 Hazel

Hazel

• 02:24:15 Hazel is going to
• 02:24:19 a runoff
• 02:24:23 uh,
• 02:24:26 and
• 02:24:27 did.
• 02:24:28 find a tree outside of town that’s a little out of the way
• 02:24:33 to climb up.
• 02:24:35 And then she is going to
• 02:24:37 that
• 02:24:38 She’s going to sit there.
• 02:24:40 And she’s going to perceive through the familiar’s senses
• 02:24:44 and send the familiar off
• 02:24:47 into the woods.

Dungeon Master

• 02:24:51 I believe the range on that is only like 100 feet.

Hazel

• 02:24:54 Yes, that’s why she’s
• 02:24:57 trying to be as outside of town as possible.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:00 Um, uh, and
• 02:25:02 Yeah.
• 02:25:03 Um,
• 02:25:05 On the south side of town, there aren’t really woods.
• 02:25:09 There’s trees, but it’s mainly like field north of the
• 02:25:13 river.
• 02:25:14 The trees get a little denser, but there’s no there’s no
• 02:25:17 like bridge or anything across the river.
• 02:25:20 Mm-hmm.
• 02:25:21 Fair enough.

Hazel

• 02:25:23 Ben
• 02:25:24 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:25 But there are a lot of trees around town,
• 02:25:29 especially once you get, like, beyond the edges of, like…
• 02:25:32 the town that’s drawn on the map.

Hazel

• 02:25:35 yeah it wouldn’t she wouldn’t be going south she would be
• 02:25:39 going towards uh
• 02:25:40 the northern side.

Dungeon Master

• 02:25:42 Towards the river.

Hazel

• 02:25:44 Yeah, well, towards like…
• 02:25:46 North
• 02:25:48 East, she basically is
• 02:25:50 She’s going to try to see if she can use…
• 02:25:53 Uh…
• 02:25:56 Going to see if you can use the
• 02:25:58 Yeah.
• 02:25:59 Sage is a better, uh,
• 02:26:02 better senses to see if there’s anything like
• 02:26:08 weird about the about the wilderness right now if there’s
• 02:26:12 any like weird quiet yeah

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:14 You’d find, like, a tall tree…
• 02:26:17 on the edge of town, past the Kembles Farm, up by the
• 02:26:21 river.
• 02:26:22 Um,
• 02:26:24 If you’re like zoomed out, I can like circle up in here
• 02:26:27 somewhere.
• 02:26:28 Yeah.
• 02:26:30 So you were actually following Temerity or are you cutting
• 02:26:34 across fields?

Hazel

• 02:26:36 Um,
• 02:26:37 Yeah, I should follow Temerity for a little bit and then
• 02:26:40 break off.

Dungeon Master

• 02:26:42 Temerity would actually break off first, probably.
• 02:26:45 Well, no, you could go between the fields.
• 02:26:47 You could break off down heat.
• 02:26:49 down here.
• 02:26:50 And go up through the, like, between the fields.

Hazel

• 02:26:53 She’s trying to stay undetected, so…
• 02:26:57 Um…
• 02:27:00 a 19 on stealth.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:02 You if you if you go and find a place to hide with that,
• 02:27:07 you can remain hidden.
• 02:27:08 If no one’s looking for you, you will be entirely undet
• 02:27:11 ected.
• 02:27:14 I don’t know.
• 02:27:15 So you were able to like stay low in the bushes and the
• 02:27:19 brush and behind buildings and Temerity does not see you
• 02:27:22 following until eventually you break off before Temerity
• 02:27:26 heads down.
• 02:27:26 like on till to the next farm.

Hazel

• 02:27:29 Oh, actually, I don’t need to
• 02:27:31 do a
• 02:27:32 do a fucking
• 02:27:34 uh,
• 02:27:35 since through the familiar senses, I forget I’m a druid.
• 02:27:39 You just gotta turn into a wolf
• 02:27:42 And run off into the woods
• 02:27:43 With Sage by your side
• 02:27:45 You and Sage run off into the woods.

Temerity

• 02:27:50 You’re doing weird things.

Rhysaene

• 02:27:52 See you in your character.

Dungeon Master

• 02:27:55 What is Iva doing while all of this is happening?
• 02:28:00 Um…

Iva

• 02:28:03 She was left alone, wasn’t she?

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:05 Well, no, like, they’re setting up, like, tents, like,
• 02:28:10 within, like, 30 feet of where you all were.

Temerity

• 02:28:13 Yeah, and you also have another tent that you can help set
• 02:28:16 up.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:17 Yeah, Father Emberthumb brought out the other tent.

Iva

• 02:28:20 Yeah, Iva would be trying to set up that other tent.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:25 I’m stealing Eylesis’ tent.

Temerity

• 02:28:29 oh my god

Luma

• 02:28:32 Uh-oh.
• 02:28:33 I worked so hard on that.
• 02:28:35 What have you done?
• 02:28:36 I done stole it.

Temerity

• 02:28:39 Now finish that L into an I.

Luma

• 02:28:44 Thank you.
• 02:28:46 Do you want to
• 02:28:47 Reverse it.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:48 I don’t know that I can as a…
• 02:28:52 Hey Ken, here.
• 02:28:53 Perry Kivolowitz: I did know or.
• 02:28:54 Nope, that didn’t do it.

Luma

• 02:28:56 I got you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:28:56 Watch out.
• 02:28:58 Whoa!

Luma

• 02:29:01 too far.

Temerity

• 02:29:04 Yes, Ted.

Iva

• 02:29:06 I think it was 10.

Luma

• 02:29:09 I think it could fit two people, so it should, like…
• 02:29:12 Yeah.
• 02:29:13 Really?

Iva

• 02:29:13 Yeah.
• 02:29:13 Medium people.

Luma

• 02:29:17 Too small or too medium people?

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:19 I think it says, oh, never mind.
• 02:29:21 Um,
• 02:29:22 Anyway, you start setting up the other tent.
• 02:29:34 Temerity.

Hazel

• 02:29:36 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:29:37 you head over to the Kemble farm,
• 02:29:39 Thank you.
• 02:29:40 And as you do, you see…
• 02:29:43 You weren’t able to say goodbye to him
• 02:29:45 because he had gone out hunting with one of his sons,
• 02:29:47 but you see Paul Kemble out front chopping wood.

Temerity

• 02:29:51 - Yeah.
• 02:29:54 As Temerity, like, approaches, Temerity’s gonna, like, wave
• 02:29:58 out and say, uh…
• 02:30:00 Hey, miss, uh,
• 02:30:02 Henry.
• 02:30:03 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:30:04 - Oh.
• 02:30:07 Sorry, I don’t know you. Who are you?
• 02:30:10 What are you doing on my…
• 02:30:12 what are you doing on my property?

• 02:30:28 yeah to verity like foe puts their hands up
• 02:30:35 Just like, oh, I’m--
• 02:30:37 Just a humble traveler by the name of Temerity just passing
• 02:30:42 by.

Dungeon Master

• 02:30:44 I used to know someone named Temerity.
• 02:30:46 They were a big help around here
• 02:30:48 until they slinked off to the big city
• 02:30:51 and left me to tend all the heavy barrels.
• 02:30:54 laughter

Temerity

• 02:30:59 Well, if it’s just you, then I have a talking to to give
• 02:31:02 Duke and Daryl.

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:04 He can’t keep it up when you say that.
• 02:31:07 He bursts out laughing.
• 02:31:11 Yeah.
• 02:31:11 uh damn right uh Temerity welcome back i’m sorry i didn’t

Temerity

• 02:31:15 get to say goodbye no i i apologize
• 02:31:18 it it was all
• 02:31:21 very fast. And Temerity, you’ll like going for
• 02:31:24 For a hug.

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:25 He’ll give her the, like, the clasp one hand over the
• 02:31:29 shoulder,
• 02:31:30 pat on the back kind of hug.
• 02:31:32 Yeah.
• 02:31:34 Says, uh…
• 02:31:36 been
• 02:31:37 been hell around here without anyone to…
• 02:31:40 That appreciates my.
• 02:31:42 uh,
• 02:31:44 my, uh,
• 02:31:45 my sophisticated sense of humor.

Temerity

• 02:31:52 - Well.
• 02:31:52 The next time I get an opportunity, I’ll make sure to come
• 02:31:54 back to laugh at your jokes.
• 02:31:56 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:31:57 He laughs and says, ugh.
• 02:32:00 Knew there was a reason we always kept you around.

Temerity

• 02:32:06 Everyone else?
• 02:32:08 in the house already?

Dungeon Master

• 02:32:10 Almost everyone’s here.
• 02:32:12 Um,
• 02:32:13 Eliza’s done run-off again, never tells anyone where.

Temerity

• 02:32:18 It already rolls their eyes.
• 02:32:20 Bye.
• 02:32:22 Like an agreement like, yeah, she’ll probably be back.

Dungeon Master

• 02:32:27 around dinnertime, but
• 02:32:30 should be told
• 02:32:32 A couple nights this week, she’s missed dinner, come in
• 02:32:35 late, not…
• 02:32:35 Not past curfew mine, so she’s not been in any trouble for
• 02:32:40 it, but it’s…
• 02:32:42 Yeah.
• 02:32:43 quite a bother to have her show up after dinner.

Temerity

• 02:32:47 Yeah.
• 02:32:48 makes makes cleanup take longer.
• 02:32:51 Have to keep things warm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:32:54 you know,
• 02:32:56 All those years, I always thought Trevor was going to be
• 02:32:58 the problem, not pull his weight,
• 02:33:01 but he’s really stepped up.
• 02:33:03 It’s a shame Eliza used to love helping her mother and now
• 02:33:07 …
• 02:33:07 He shakes his head.

Temerity

• 02:33:09 Huh.
• 02:33:13 Is this a new development within the past week?
• 02:33:19 or so.
• 02:33:21 Or has it been steady?

Dungeon Master

• 02:33:22 You think about it and
• 02:33:26 - This is like a turn.
• 02:33:27 This is like the, I like,
• 02:33:30 Eliza, Eliza hasn’t like
• 02:33:33 There hasn’t been anything like this.
• 02:33:36 Eliza’s always been mischievous and like a prankster.
• 02:33:42 Um, and sometimes she’d stay out and, and, and not like
• 02:33:46 tell anyone, but it, it,
• 02:33:48 It was rare, but over the past…
• 02:33:54 I don’t know, year, it’s gotten like a little bit like
• 02:33:58 Oh, she’s been a little bit more rebellious,
• 02:33:59 but, like, you just figured, like,
• 02:34:01 oh, it’s about that age.
• 02:34:02 But no, this is a turn.
• 02:34:04 This is, like…
• 02:34:05 This is, like…
• 02:34:07 This does feel like since you left.

Temerity

• 02:34:09 - Huh, yeah, Temerity’s gonna
• 02:34:13 further brow a little
• 02:34:14 you like.
• 02:34:15 - That’s odd, she hasn’t been even helping with dinner.

Dungeon Master

• 02:34:20 - Oh, she helps when she’s around, most of the time.
• 02:34:24 Sometimes she’s off in a room
• 02:34:27 reading or writing or whatever she does
• 02:34:30 up in there
• 02:34:30 um
• 02:34:33 But, uh…
• 02:34:34 No, she helps some when she’s around, not as much as her
• 02:34:37 mom would like.
• 02:34:39 - Mm-hmm.
• 02:34:41 but

Temerity

• 02:34:43 well
• 02:34:46 She’s getting--
• 02:34:47 Get into a rambunctious age.
• 02:34:49 Maybe she’s just
• 02:34:51 Trying to spread her wings a little.

Dungeon Master

• 02:34:54 I don’t know.
• 02:34:56 Yeah, that’s true enough, that’s true enough, and we…
• 02:35:00 We try to be supportive, you know.
• 02:35:03 And.
• 02:35:05 uh,
• 02:35:06 She’s got to find her way in life, and whether that’s the
• 02:35:09 farm or something else, that’s not for us to decide for her
• 02:35:12 .
• 02:35:14 I’m already not.
• 02:35:16 Still would be nice if she’d at least tell us when she wasn
• 02:35:19 ’t going to be back and all…

Temerity

• 02:35:22 Well, if I see her, I can try and have a little talk with

Dungeon Master

• 02:35:27 her.
• 02:35:27 Oh, you don’t have to do that.
• 02:35:29 That’s not your job, Temerity.

Temerity

• 02:35:38 I don’t know, we…
• 02:35:41 We have a language I think I could get through to her.

Dungeon Master

• 02:35:44 Well, you’re welcome to it if you want to, but that’s not
• 02:35:48 …
• 02:35:48 That’s not your…
• 02:35:50 That’s not your job.
• 02:35:51 frankly, like I said, she hasn’t
• 02:35:55 She hasn’t done anything alarming.

Temerity

• 02:35:58 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:35:59 But uh…

Temerity

• 02:36:00 Just a quick reminder to watch all those who won’t be there

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:04 for dinner.
• 02:36:04 Yeah. All right. Well, if you, if you want to do that, you
• 02:36:08 feel free. Um,
• 02:36:09 uh,
• 02:36:11 Uh, Marine is, uh, is in the kitchen starting up dinner.
• 02:36:16 If you want to stay, you’re more than welcome.

Temerity

• 02:36:18 I
• 02:36:20 Well, I have some friends in town from Northampton.

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:25 Oh, you brought city folk.

Temerity

• 02:36:27 Yeah, one of them is not two.
• 02:36:31 A few of them aren’t two city.
• 02:36:33 Mostly just two of them.

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:36 All right, all right.
• 02:36:37 Um, well…

Temerity

• 02:36:40 Yeah, Paul will be cooking up some stuff.

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:43 Um,

Temerity

• 02:36:44 I just wanted to stop by and say hi since I was in the cr
• 02:36:47 ick.

Dungeon Master

• 02:36:48 - Well, I appreciate that.
• 02:36:51 it said most most everyone’s out in the yard working or are
• 02:36:55 up in uh up in the fields we’re gonna
• 02:36:58 We planted some, uh, some, some,
• 02:37:01 uh,
• 02:37:01 winter wheat,
• 02:37:03 um,
• 02:37:05 They’re just making sure everything’s…
• 02:37:08 good up there.

Temerity

• 02:37:11 Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:37:12 Gotta be careful planting too much grain or those bastards
• 02:37:16 from down in Dell get all…
• 02:37:18 twist it up about it,
• 02:37:20 I think they own the whole fucking…
• 02:37:23 He stops, he’s like, oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to swear.
• 02:37:28 I was getting too into the Kansas…
• 02:37:31 I don’t know.
• 02:37:34 they,
• 02:37:34 they get real uptight about
• 02:37:36 About, oh, well, the soil’s not as good for it this way,
• 02:37:41 but seems to grow just fine, if you ask me.

Unidentified

• 02:37:45 Okay.

Temerity

• 02:37:46 laughs
• 02:37:47 Mary chuckles and nods.
• 02:37:50 Like, yeah, they get a bit ornery, but…
• 02:37:54 Um,
• 02:37:56 Oh,
• 02:37:57 I’m sorry, which…
• 02:38:01 It was Duke.
• 02:38:01 Duke’s the oldest, right?
• 02:38:02 I’m not crazy.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:06 I…
• 02:38:06 I don’t have, like, an easy way to compare ages.
• 02:38:10 Dick is 22.
• 02:38:12 I have all the ages.
• 02:38:13 They’re on separate pages.
• 02:38:15 I have to open each page.

Temerity

• 02:38:16 Fuck, I’m going to write it all down right now.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:18 David is 24.

Temerity

• 02:38:20 It was David then that was gone with Henry.
• 02:38:22 Okay, so…
• 02:38:24 Temerity will ask where David’s at.
• 02:38:27 Hmm.
• 02:38:27 Go there.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:29 He’s probably in the barn, um…
• 02:38:31 tending the animals.

Temerity

• 02:38:35 Alright, uh…
• 02:38:37 Radial.
• 02:38:39 Nod, I hope that hunt went well, that y’all went on.
• 02:38:44 Didn’t catch a damn thing.
• 02:38:46 Yeah.
• 02:38:47 Ha, ha.
• 02:38:48 That’s always the worst.

Dungeon Master

• 02:38:50 Deer are real skittish this year.
• 02:38:53 Luckily,
• 02:38:55 Devin’s been working hard, selling his…
• 02:39:00 Fish
• 02:39:01 Um, always gives us an, and, and your paw first pick.
• 02:39:08 out.
• 02:39:08 So we got plenty of fish, but…
• 02:39:11 Thank you.
• 02:39:12 And, of course, we could slaughter one of the pigs
• 02:39:15 or one of the cows or a couple pigs if we need.
• 02:39:18 So it’s not too bad that…
• 02:39:21 that we didn’t get nothing but

Temerity

• 02:39:24 It’s always let down.

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:27 He nods.

Temerity

• 02:39:28 -
• 02:39:29 Wow.
• 02:39:32 uh,
• 02:39:34 I’m going to go and say hi to
• 02:39:36 Say hi to David.
• 02:39:37 So I didn’t get to see him off either.
• 02:39:40 And Temerity, you all head out to the barn.
• 02:39:43 Uh…

Dungeon Master

• 02:39:46 You head out to the barn, no problem.
• 02:39:49 Um, we’ll, we’ll come back for that.
• 02:39:52 - Yeah. - Hazel.

Hazel

• 02:39:55 I am here Temerity has to hit the link.
• 02:39:58 That’s the knee slap.
• 02:39:59 Oh, well, I ought to…
• 02:40:01 to get while i gotta yeah she’s trapped like that’s how you

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:05 counter spell a magic circle

Temerity

• 02:40:08 well I don’t know
• 02:40:10 Oh, well, I had a--

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:11 I’d best be hitting the road.
• 02:40:13 You head up into the open fields where there are trees and
• 02:40:18 again there’s not really woods near Crick’s Bend it is mostly
• 02:40:22 field the side of the river but you get out of the city and
• 02:40:27 off of farmland and into the lake.
• 02:40:29 the more rocky area around the river where it’s just too
• 02:40:33 too much work to form it.
• 02:40:35 And you run out there…
• 02:40:38 in the form of a wolf.
• 02:40:41 With Sage running at your side, what are you doing out here

Unidentified

• 02:40:46 ?

Dungeon Master

• 02:40:46 But she’s

Hazel

• 02:40:48 going to
• 02:40:49 she’s basically just going to be spending her time
• 02:40:53 sniffing around, looking around,
• 02:40:56 Trying to…
• 02:40:57 See if there’s any, like…
• 02:41:00 signs of the sorrow, like creeping forward.

Dungeon Master

• 02:41:05 Give me
• 02:41:08 Um,
• 02:41:11 As a wolf, why don’t you give me survival or perception
• 02:41:16 with advantage?
• 02:41:18 - Sure.

Hazel

• 02:41:20 Um, they are the same.
• 02:41:22 So I think I’ll do survival because I think that’s cool
• 02:41:24 with it.
• 02:41:24 Thank you.
• 02:41:26 All right, well, a one and an eight, so the eight plus six,
• 02:41:31 four,
• 02:41:31 - Thank you.
• 02:41:32 Wait.
• 02:41:33 - Yeah, 14, I know math.
• 02:41:36 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 02:41:39 You head out into the wilds and you sniff around and…
• 02:41:45 first nothing comes to you but then you pick up a scent
• 02:41:48 Um,
• 02:41:49 Probably coyote.
• 02:41:51 There’s probably a pack that roams the edges of town.
• 02:41:54 Looking for, for stuff to scavenge.
• 02:41:59 you sniff and you sniff and you pick up
• 02:42:03 Like, maybe the scent of a deer or two.
• 02:42:06 Certainly not, like, a big herd.
• 02:42:09 Um, but a couple deer.
• 02:42:11 MR PRICE: Yeah.
• 02:42:14 But you spend however long you plan to spend doing this
• 02:42:18 um,
• 02:42:19 And with that role, you don’t
• 02:42:22 You don’t smell, you don’t hear, you don’t taste anything
• 02:42:25 that makes you think the sorrow is…
• 02:42:28 particularly active in this area.
• 02:42:32 Thank you.
• 02:42:32 It’s very different than Argentum where everything is like
• 02:42:36 sterilized of the sorrow.
• 02:42:38 There’s, there’s like a tinge of it on the air.
• 02:42:41 Um,
• 02:42:43 that now that you’re actively looking for it,
• 02:42:45 you can kind of like…
• 02:42:47 Especially as it’s like sundown.
• 02:42:49 you can kind of get this tinge of what you know to be like
• 02:42:54 the…
• 02:42:54 The vibe of the sorrow, but it’s also a lot weaker than
• 02:42:57 what you get just living day to day in Silverthorn.

Hazel

• 02:43:01 Yeah.
• 02:43:02 Um,
• 02:43:07 Hazel.
• 02:43:08 Probably spends like an hour out there.
• 02:43:10 She’s probably going to be a little late to dinner.
• 02:43:12 Yeah.
• 02:43:15 but she just wants to do her due diligence.
• 02:43:19 and she will make her way back to Crick’s Bend and
• 02:43:23 from like a,
• 02:43:25 Good distance away she’ll come out of wild shape as to not
• 02:43:28 terrify anybody.

Dungeon Master

• 02:43:32 Yeah, you start to head back.
• 02:43:35 Um,
• 02:43:35 The rest of you, Rhys,
• 02:43:37 Iva, and Luma…
• 02:43:40 You’re working in the backyard and setting up the tents.
• 02:43:43 Um,
• 02:43:45 Uh, when, um,
• 02:43:48 you’ve seen people passing by
• 02:43:50 on the road south of the church grounds
• 02:43:53 throughout the like 30 minutes you take
• 02:43:56 to set up your tents in your little camp.
• 02:43:58 Um,
• 02:44:00 But the town is not so busy that it fails to catch your
• 02:44:08 attention.
• 02:44:08 Um,
• 02:44:10 when someone walks by.
• 02:44:12 When a pair of people walk by, your attention is likewise
• 02:44:17 drawn to them.
• 02:44:19 Um,
• 02:44:21 But this time it lingers.
• 02:44:25 Um,
• 02:44:26 because these two people are like they stand out everyone
• 02:44:29 else you’ve seen is wearing
• 02:44:31 simple like
• 02:44:33 Simple, like, common clothes or at most elaborate traveler
• 02:44:39 ’s clothes…
• 02:44:39 Um, maybe some, sometimes like a woman will walk by and
• 02:44:42 like a pretty, um, like
• 02:44:44 floral dress but that’s about as fancy or as unusual as it
• 02:44:50 gets um
• 02:44:50 There’s a couple like
• 02:44:53 you’ve seen people walking by and like,
• 02:44:56 not even armor, but just like
• 02:44:58 like, taverns with, like, clubs that you recognize as
• 02:45:02 probably, like, the…
• 02:45:04 Like the, the, the, the towns, like.
• 02:45:07 Not watch, but like
• 02:45:09 volunteer-like
• 02:45:11 Uh.
• 02:45:13 like keep an eye on things kind of folk.
• 02:45:17 Um,
• 02:45:17 So when this pair of people walk by, they stand out
• 02:45:22 immediately.
• 02:45:22 Um,
• 02:45:23 It’s a man and a…
• 02:45:27 Yeah.
• 02:45:28 or sorry, it’s a, um,
• 02:45:30 It’s a very…
• 02:45:31 Sorry, I’m trying to pull.
• 02:45:33 Um,
• 02:45:34 very tall
• 02:45:36 um, probably about six feet tall, um, elven woman, um,
• 02:45:41 wearing black
• 02:45:44 Um,
• 02:45:45 Like,
• 02:45:46 almost like black robes with a habit, almost like a nun.
• 02:45:54 Um, in, in garb, um,
• 02:45:57 And the person beside her is probably about like,
• 02:46:01 A good six inches shorter, very nondescript face, their
• 02:46:06 face obscured by a hood and similar
• 02:46:10 black robes.
• 02:46:11 Mm-hmm.
• 02:46:13 And they’re just walking down the street.
• 02:46:16 Um,
• 02:46:17 each of them carrying
• 02:46:19 A brass fixture with a candle that is currently not lit.

Luma

• 02:46:30 I’m not saying I know if Luma gets up and runs at them.
• 02:46:32 Thank you.
• 02:46:32 - Cool.

Dungeon Master

• 02:46:34 uh,
• 02:46:35 Luma takes off,
• 02:46:37 and the woman
• 02:46:39 turns and looks down at Luma.
• 02:46:42 She has a very, like,
• 02:46:44 stern face um
• 02:46:47 You can give me, like, a history check if you…
• 02:46:53 Or no, you don’t have to…
• 02:46:55 to give me a history check, sorry, I’m being silly.
• 02:47:00 turns, she’s a very stern
• 02:47:02 face, um,
• 02:47:04 Her skin is like colored almost kind of like Temerity’s, but
• 02:47:07 like darker.
• 02:47:08 Um,
• 02:47:09 You, you, yeah, give me a history check
• 02:47:12 because things like this are kind of like
• 02:47:14 lost in the veil specifically.
• 02:47:18 What, sorry, what?
• 02:47:20 Sixteen.
• 02:47:21 You know this woman is for sure not a wood elf,
• 02:47:26 Uh, like, elves can have, like, a variety of skin complex
• 02:47:30 ions, um, but drow specifically are known for having, like,
• 02:47:35 darker, um,
• 02:47:35 like cool tone skin and white hair.
• 02:47:39 And you’ve, you’ve probably like,
• 02:47:41 being in Erhadell in like a family of elves,
• 02:47:46 you’ve probably heard of dark elves or drow.
• 02:47:48 And this woman is,
• 02:47:51 is clearly a dark elf.
• 02:47:55 Hello, I’m Luma.
• 02:47:56 Thank you.
• 02:47:57 She turns and looks and her face is very stern, which is in
• 02:48:02 contrast to her voice, which is very soft, almost whisper-
• 02:48:06 like.
• 02:48:07 And she says, oh…
• 02:48:09 Hello, Luma.
• 02:48:11 Nice to meet you.

Luma

• 02:48:12 Nice to meet you. I have so many questions.

Dungeon Master

• 02:48:15 - Oh.
• 02:48:17 Very well.
• 02:48:18 - I would be happy to answer your questions.
• 02:48:21 - I haven’t given a glance at Risica,
• 02:48:22 should we stop her?

Rhysaene

• 02:48:25 No.

Dungeon Master

• 02:48:26 This is happening like out, like,
• 02:48:28 Either Luma is talking to her over this fence,
• 02:48:31 which is only like a couple feet high,
• 02:48:32 or Luma hopped the fence to run out into the road.

Luma

• 02:48:35 Luma hit that fence and almost went over it,
• 02:48:37 but managed to like catch her.
• 02:48:39 And it’s like leaning over it right now.

Dungeon Master

• 02:48:42 She just says…
• 02:48:45 It’s nice to meet you, Luma.
• 02:48:46 I’d be happy to answer any questions.
• 02:48:49 The companion at her side, they lower their heads
• 02:48:54 so their face is even more obscured by their hood.

Luma

• 02:48:59 Luma, like, leans…
• 02:49:00 further and rotates under to like see under the hood.
• 02:49:04 Momentarily distracted.
• 02:49:07 I’m not interrupting anything, am I?
• 02:49:09 You are not interrupting.
• 02:49:13 Okay.
• 02:49:14 I can walk wherever you’re going if you need to go
• 02:49:16 somewhere.
• 02:49:16 Oh, no.
• 02:49:18 I’m going to have to go away.

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:18 We were simply heading up to the Miller’s house.
• 02:49:22 to rent rooms for the evening, and that can wait.
• 02:49:25 Oh, okay. I’ve heard they’re really nice.
• 02:49:28 Oh yes, quite nice. We’ve been here a couple evenings

Luma

• 02:49:31 already.
• 02:49:33 Oh.
• 02:49:34 Um,
• 02:49:35 Well, okay. First off, my name is Luma. What is your name?

Dungeon Master

• 02:49:39 My name is Sister Ashryn.

Luma

• 02:49:43 - Oh.
• 02:49:44 You’re not my sister.
• 02:49:46 No.
• 02:49:47 I don’t know.
• 02:49:49 More of a title than…
• 02:49:51 Yes, you could be.
• 02:49:52 Are you related to the Dracys?
• 02:49:54 I do not believe I know the traces.
• 02:49:57 Oh, okay, that’s okay. So you’re not my sister. That’s fine
• 02:50:01 .
• 02:50:01 How old are you?
• 02:50:03 um,
• 02:50:04 I am

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:07 - The DM hasn’t decided.
• 02:50:09 I am 63 years old.
• 02:50:12 - Man, you’re even younger than Mr. Emberthumb.
• 02:50:15 Ah, the priest. Yes, indeed. I am certainly younger than
• 02:50:20 him.
• 02:50:20 Thank you.

Luma

• 02:50:21 Okay, well that’s fine.
• 02:50:23 I don’t actually have any questions for you then.
• 02:50:25 Sorry.
• 02:50:26 Oh!
• 02:50:28 Well, that’s unfortunate.
• 02:50:30 Oh.
• 02:50:31 Well, unless you have some interesting history stuff,
• 02:50:33 because you’re older than me.

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:36 history.
• 02:50:38 What sort of history would be interesting to you, dear Luma

Luma

• 02:50:43 ?
• 02:50:43 all kinds of history, family history,
• 02:50:45 Vocational history.
• 02:50:47 event history.
• 02:50:49 Mostly stuff about the Starfall, but that’s like way, way
• 02:50:53 back time.
• 02:50:53 And the Exodus, that’s also way back time though.

Dungeon Master

• 02:50:56 She looks at Luma for a long moment.
• 02:51:01 Kind of looks around back and forth.
• 02:51:05 And she says, well…
• 02:51:07 I have no family history.
• 02:51:09 No personal history of any kind.

Luma

• 02:51:12 Um,
• 02:51:14 Well, that seems weird.
• 02:51:15 Did somebody steal your history?
• 02:51:17 Is that possible?

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:19 No, nothing was stolen.
• 02:51:21 I have simply,
• 02:51:23 cast away that which
• 02:51:25 Tethers.
• 02:51:26 me to
• 02:51:28 Okay.
• 02:51:29 the material.

Luma

• 02:51:32 Are you a ghost?

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:34 them.
• 02:51:36 No, I’m not a ghost.

Luma

• 02:51:38 OK.

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:39 Um,

Luma

• 02:51:40 I don’t know what you mean.

Dungeon Master

• 02:51:43 I simply mean that things like
• 02:51:45 families and family histories are
• 02:51:48 superfluous, unnecessary, and ultimately hindering.

Luma

• 02:51:54 That’s a really interesting opinion.
• 02:51:56 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 02:52:00 As for the Starfall, I know
• 02:52:03 I assume that we know roughly the same amount.
• 02:52:07 Next to nothing.
• 02:52:09 Yes, indeed.
• 02:52:09 She nods, and there’s, like, a hint of…
• 02:52:13 That, like, yes, indeed is maybe the first hint of, like…
• 02:52:18 I don’t know, like like spice, like like intonation in what
• 02:52:23 is otherwise a very flat delivery.
• 02:52:26 Yes, indeed, but the Starfall caused, the Starfall brought
• 02:52:32 to the world what
• 02:52:33 Mankind has deemed the sorrow.
• 02:52:38 No problem.
• 02:52:40 Oh.
• 02:52:41 Why do you say so?

Luma

• 02:52:43 because it makes things crazy.
• 02:52:45 And mean.

Dungeon Master

• 02:52:47 Well, are things not capable of being crazy or mean?
• 02:52:52 on their own.

Luma

• 02:52:55 Uh, well, usually crazy and mean comes from outside
• 02:52:58 stimulus like a disease or an illness sometimes within
• 02:53:01 which is usually like a mental illness or an upset stomach.

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:06 - All very true, Luma.
• 02:53:07 Very observant of you.
• 02:53:10 There are many sources of
• 02:53:12 mental or spiritual malaise that are not attributable to
• 02:53:18 what is known as the sorrow.

Luma

• 02:53:24 But it’s still a bad thing.

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:26 Why is that?

Luma

• 02:53:29 I feel like we’re going to go in circles here in a second.

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:32 - Well, we don’t need to do that then.
• 02:53:35 Hee hee hee.

Unidentified

• 02:53:39 What?

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:43 Tell me, Luma, have you ever…
• 02:53:47 Have you ever experienced loss?

Luma

• 02:53:51 Loss?
• 02:53:52 Yes.
• 02:53:53 Yeah, one time I misplaced some glasses.
• 02:53:56 That sucked.

Dungeon Master

• 02:53:57 No, I mean like the loss of a loved one or maybe even a pet
• 02:54:02 .
• 02:54:02 Something that made you sad to not…
• 02:54:05 be able to
• 02:54:06 connect with anymore.

Luma

• 02:54:10 No.
• 02:54:11 But I mean, I guess I’ve technically lost my family because
• 02:54:13 I’m not with them, which is kind of sad.
• 02:54:16 I missed them.
• 02:54:16 I don’t know where they are.

Rhysaene

• 02:54:18 Can I say that risks kind of like
• 02:54:21 who wanders over at this point.

Dungeon Master

• 02:54:23 Yeah, that’s totally fine.
• 02:54:25 A risk, uh…

Iva

• 02:54:26 I would have followed.

Dungeon Master

• 02:54:28 Yeah, you see what I described earlier,
• 02:54:31 a tall drow woman wearing, like, black robes
• 02:54:36 with, like, a nun’s habit…
• 02:54:41 And like a, like a thin kind of like,
• 02:54:45 translucent veil across her mouth
• 02:54:47 that you can clearly see through.
• 02:54:50 The companion
• 02:54:52 also wearing the same robes, but instead of
• 02:54:53 a habit, a hood that
• 02:54:55 Um,
• 02:54:56 As they look down, drapes over their face.
• 02:55:01 And the woman looks up at Rhys and at Iva as they approach
• 02:55:05 and say, “Oh,
• 02:55:07 Greetings.
• 02:55:10 Hello.

Rhysaene

• 02:55:11 Oh, don’t mind us. We were just checking on our friend.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:15 Ah, um, then
• 02:55:18 She is lucky to have such observant friends.

Iva

• 02:55:26 - Mm-hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:28 Anyway,
• 02:55:32 It’s not quite…
• 02:55:34 quite like what you described, Luma, but…
• 02:55:38 Certainly one day you will experience it, and maybe then we
• 02:55:41 can have a more fruitful conversation.
• 02:55:44 um,
• 02:55:46 She kind of looks at Iva and Rhys
• 02:55:49 Um,
• 02:55:52 And and.
• 02:55:53 lingers on Iva and back to Luma
• 02:55:55 and then back at Rhys.

Hazel

• 02:55:58 and

Dungeon Master

• 02:55:59 um,

Hazel

• 02:56:03 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:06 It says, “To risk.”
• 02:56:09 um,
• 02:56:10 you have the air of someone who has experienced loss.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:16 She will squint.
• 02:56:20 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 02:56:23 She says…
• 02:56:25 It seems a young Luma has not
• 02:56:29 I’m curious if you would be willing to describe the
• 02:56:34 sensation
• 02:56:34 the feeling for her.

Iva

• 02:56:38 It’s a much nicer direction than I thought she was about to
• 02:56:40 go.
• 02:56:40 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:43 Um…

Luma

• 02:56:44 Luma has an experience loss, let’s change that.

Rhysaene

• 02:56:47 Yeah, let’s change to Eldritch Blast.
• 02:56:54 laughing
• 02:56:58 Um…
• 02:57:00 Mm-hmm.
• 02:57:03 Feels like a party slipped away, I guess.

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:07 I don’t know.
• 02:57:08 She nods.
• 02:57:10 And says…
• 02:57:12 Yes, indeed.
• 02:57:13 Like a part of you gone…
• 02:57:16 um,
• 02:57:17 - Okay.
• 02:57:19 Like an open wound that cannot be filled.
• 02:57:23 um,
• 02:57:24 such a
• 02:57:26 a tragic thing to have to live with for the rest of one’s
• 02:57:29 life, is it not?
• 02:57:32 Not really.

Luma

• 02:57:36 The other…
• 02:57:37 It’s just a flip side of love, isn’t it not?

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:41 Indeed it is, young Luma, that is very astute.
• 02:57:46 So
• 02:57:47 Abandoning one prevents the other, does it not?

Luma

• 02:57:54 - I suppose.

Dungeon Master

• 02:57:56 Sheep.
• 02:57:56 It kind of looks at Luma and at Rhys and at…
• 02:58:01 And Iva and her gaze lingers on wrists for a long time.
• 02:58:06 before she says, I…
• 02:58:11 I don’t believe there’s much more for us to discuss.
• 02:58:15 I think we should be on our way.

Luma

• 02:58:20 Well, if I experience loss, I’ll come find you.

Rhysaene

• 02:58:22 I see.
• 02:58:24 Take care, Mel.

Dungeon Master

• 02:58:27 You as well.
• 02:58:29 She turns to Luma and says, “I would look forward to that
• 02:58:32 conversation.”

Iva

• 02:58:35 I think I’m going to do my best to have or not
• 02:58:38 Have that conversation

Luma

• 02:58:39 The people that are really close to me live for a really
• 02:58:42 Long time so I’ll see you in like
• 02:58:44 500 years.

Dungeon Master

• 02:58:46 I’ll,
• 02:58:47 - Thank you.
• 02:58:48 Perhaps or perhaps not.
• 02:58:54 500 years is quite a long time and
• 02:58:57 in this world, is it not?

Luma

• 02:59:01 Well, yeah, I haven’t lived through that long, so it’s kind
• 02:59:03 of unfathomably long for me.

Temerity

• 02:59:05 Yeah.

Luma

• 02:59:07 Me as well.

Dungeon Master

• 02:59:09 have a
• 02:59:11 Have a nice evening, all of you.
• 02:59:16 she looks at her companion and says, “Come.”
• 02:59:19 And he starts following.
• 02:59:22 And they continued down the road.

Luma

• 02:59:26 Starts to rest and goes, do you seem nice?

Rhysaene

• 02:59:30 Thank you.
• 02:59:33 Seem kind of fucking traveling if you ask me.
• 02:59:36 Yeah.
• 02:59:36 Thank you.
• 02:59:37 I think…

Luma

• 02:59:40 That’s okay.

Rhysaene

• 02:59:46 Oh.
• 02:59:49 You ever recognize anyone like that?

Luma

• 02:59:53 Recognize? No, I’ve never met her before.
• 02:59:56 Ha!
• 02:59:57 I think she was a drow.
• 02:59:59 Pedro?
• 03:00:00 Very rare people, because, like, elves are rare, but even
• 03:00:03 among elves, like, drow are, like, super rare.

Rhysaene

• 03:00:06 Huh.
• 03:00:07 Iva, you know any fucking freaks like that in your circle?

Iva

• 03:00:11 It goes really quiet.
• 03:00:14 Iva goes, “No, I don’t think so.”
• 03:00:18 Um…
• 03:00:20 Hehehehe.
• 03:00:21 I was like, “Unless I have been informed otherwise.”

Dungeon Master

• 03:00:24 Iva, you can give me a history check at disadvantage.

Luma

• 03:00:29 I can’t believe that we just skirted over the fucking
• 03:00:31 sorrow sympathizer drow lady.
• 03:00:34 Oh!

Iva

• 03:00:37 You won’t believe this, but it’s a 15 because I rolled two
• 03:00:41 16s.
• 03:00:43 - Whoa!
• 03:00:45 That’s really good for Iva.

Dungeon Master

• 03:00:47 Just based on the conversation you had…
• 03:00:51 Um,
• 03:00:52 And how brief your involvement in it was.
• 03:00:56 There’s not really anything about them that stood out as
• 03:01:00 familiar to you.
• 03:01:07 Um,
• 03:01:11 Yeah, just just based on how how little you like spoke to
• 03:01:14 them and got of that conversation.
• 03:01:16 There’s not really anything that stands out, Iva.

Iva

• 03:01:19 Iva goes.
• 03:01:20 Don’t.
• 03:01:21 But I can now, you know…
• 03:01:24 Look like them if needed.
• 03:01:25 They did seem kind of…
• 03:01:28 the kind of person I would need to do that to.

Dungeon Master

• 03:01:31 You could look like the woman.
• 03:01:33 You did not see the other person’s face.
• 03:01:35 Or, like, any identifying details about them.
• 03:01:38 Luma, you kind of, like, glanced up in their hood and saw
• 03:01:43 they, like…
• 03:01:44 They have a face.
• 03:01:46 Um,
• 03:01:47 you would have, you would have picked up that, um,
• 03:01:51 Fairly, fairly, like, light skin, no facial hair, no
• 03:01:55 identifying marks, like, no, no, no, like, moles or
• 03:02:00 anything like that.
• 03:02:01 You wouldn’t really have, like, seen their eyes.
• 03:02:04 Um,
• 03:02:05 Because of how, like, the hood, like, the long hood was dro
• 03:02:09 oped and how they were, like…
• 03:02:11 almost bowed to avoid…
• 03:02:14 UM, your.
• 03:02:15 prying, but you would have found no facial hair very
• 03:02:19 Very soft, smooth skin, no beauty marks or anything like
• 03:02:25 that.
• 03:02:25 um,
• 03:02:26 Nothing that indicates they aren’t like human or like an
• 03:02:29 elf, like nothing that would stand out more than that.
• 03:02:36 but otherwise very nondescript.

Temerity

• 03:02:39 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:44 And they continue up the road.
• 03:02:46 Uh-oh.
• 03:02:48 And in a way off to the…
• 03:02:50 to the Miller’s house, presumably.

Rhysaene

• 03:02:54 that I’m going to.

Dungeon Master

• 03:02:56 Sorry, can you say that again?
• 03:02:56 You cut out.

Luma

• 03:03:01 Oh.

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:02 - Hi, Lysis.

Luma

• 03:03:04 Come on out.
• 03:03:05 Now I hear you.
• 03:03:06 I think my horde might be fucked.
• 03:03:10 Luma just said that the tents are set up now.
• 03:03:15 - Okay.
• 03:03:17 Are you going to camp out with us or are you going to go
• 03:03:20 inside?
• 03:03:20 Yeah, I can’t pet with you.
• 03:03:22 Awesome.

Dungeon Master

• 03:03:23 um.
• 03:03:24 While you guys are like getting your tents are set up, the
• 03:03:27 fire’s going, you smell, you now for sure smell like fresh
• 03:03:32 stew…
• 03:03:32 um,
• 03:03:35 A Bruin back in the house, you will cut back to Temerity.
• 03:03:39 You head out to the barn.
• 03:03:42 Whatever.
• 03:03:43 whatever Kemble I said, David, David’s out there. Um,
• 03:03:46 there’s a couple of cows,
• 03:03:47 a couple of pigs. Um, there’s a chicken coop out by the
• 03:03:50 barn and he’s, um,
• 03:03:51 he’s making sure everybody has, has, has enough hay and to
• 03:03:55 keep warm and all of
• 03:03:56 that as you approach.

Temerity

• 03:03:58 - Uh-huh.
• 03:03:59 Uh, Temerity’s gonna…
• 03:04:02 walk up behind them and
• 03:04:06 Clap a hand on his back and be like.
• 03:04:13 Uh…
• 03:04:15 He, he, he, he, he.
• 03:04:17 Uh…
• 03:04:21 And just be like, I heard you didn’t catch anything out
• 03:04:23 there.

Dungeon Master

• 03:04:26 Well, he turns around and he’s like…
• 03:04:29 eat.
• 03:04:30 Listen.
• 03:04:31 There wasn’t nothing out there to catch.
• 03:04:33 All right.
• 03:04:36 One, my, one, my fault.
• 03:04:38 Um,
• 03:04:39 You’re never gonna let that go are you, Tim?
• 03:04:44 I miss one deer
• 03:04:47 one time and you won’t
• 03:04:49 I leave it alone.

Temerity

• 03:04:56 Well,
• 03:04:59 Sorry, fuck.
• 03:04:59 Ah, hold on.
• 03:05:02 I have to get back into character.
• 03:05:04 I have to get back into character.
• 03:05:05 I have to get back into character.
• 03:05:06 Um…
• 03:05:15 Temerity gives a chuckle.
• 03:05:17 And it’s just like…
• 03:05:20 laughter
• 03:05:23 It’s just like…
• 03:05:25 uh,
• 03:05:26 What, you want me to give up the only leverage I have to
• 03:05:29 pick on you?

Dungeon Master

• 03:05:30 I don’t even know why you think it’s leverage, Tim.
• 03:05:33 You ain’t much better with a bow than I am.

Temerity

• 03:05:36 -
• 03:05:39 Yeah.
• 03:05:41 they put their hands up
• 03:05:44 and they’re like yeah fair fair you got me

Dungeon Master

• 03:05:46 I’d say you couldn’t hit the broad
• 03:05:48 sign of the barn and then I could prove it
• 03:05:50 by pointing to the hole in the back of the house

Temerity

• 03:05:52 Fuck off
• 03:05:58 Shit.
• 03:06:04 After I’ve been gone so long, this is how you greet me back
• 03:06:07 ?
• 03:06:07 And like to Temerity, like, veins, like, hurt, like, hand on
• 03:06:12 their heart.

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:12 Me?
• 03:06:14 Listen, you could have said, oh, hey, David, how’s the farm
• 03:06:18 ?
• 03:06:18 How’s the animals?
• 03:06:19 How’s Paul?
• 03:06:20 How’s Ma?
• 03:06:23 But no, I heard you didn’t catch nothing.
• 03:06:27 Yeah.
• 03:06:29 You started it, which is par for, they would not say par
• 03:06:33 for the course.
• 03:06:34 You started it, which is just about how it always goes with
• 03:06:37 you, isn’t it?
• 03:06:38 - Thank you.

Unidentified

• 03:06:39 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 03:06:42 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:06:45 I don’t know why you don’t give Juniper this much trouble.
• 03:06:48 Maybe if you did, she’d
• 03:06:49 And he kind of cuts off.
• 03:06:51 You should know that Temerity is a problem everywhere.

Temerity

• 03:06:54 No, Temerity just has a…
• 03:06:59 Tit for tat.
• 03:07:01 Yeah, she’s the one titting.
• 03:07:03 No.
• 03:07:08 Yeah.
• 03:07:12 Listen, the…
• 03:07:14 Yeah.
• 03:07:16 What I’ve learned so far is you gotta strike first.
• 03:07:20 But you seem to have…
• 03:07:23 armed yourself pretty well with your retorts.
• 03:07:27 That’s way too fancy for Temerity.
• 03:07:32 That was way too fancy to parody, but that’s basically what
• 03:07:35 they say.

Dungeon Master

• 03:07:35 That’s it.
• 03:07:36 I need you to pretend that what I said was a lot dumber.
• 03:07:40 -
• 03:07:42 Yeah.
• 03:07:43 He rolls his eyes and wraps his arms around Temerity in a
• 03:07:48 big hug.

Temerity

• 03:07:50 Maybe he gives a hug back and it’s like,
• 03:07:52 I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye.

Dungeon Master

• 03:07:54 Nah, it’s alright. You finally had your moment. You knew
• 03:07:59 you had to go when I wasn’t here. I understand.
• 03:08:02 It’s always going to be like that.
• 03:08:04 there was no like stank on that yeah it’s it was less of
• 03:08:13 like
• 03:08:13 Like.
• 03:08:14 It wasn’t stank, it was a like, when people know they have
• 03:08:18 to move on, they gotta do it.

Temerity

• 03:08:20 They gotta do it, yeah.
• 03:08:21 Yeah.
• 03:08:24 And he nods and…
• 03:08:26 Uh, they’re like, well, I’m glad that I got to see you.
• 03:08:29 Uh, we’re just stopping in town for, for the night.
• 03:08:32 Um,
• 03:08:34 We’re going to head out in the morning.
• 03:08:37 I’m going to try and convince them.
• 03:08:39 uh,
• 03:08:40 to stay again.
• 03:08:42 on the way back to our gentem.

Dungeon Master

• 03:08:45 Well,
• 03:08:47 Um,
• 03:08:48 We’d be happy to have you and any friends you brought from
• 03:08:51 the city
• 03:08:51 for dinner on your return trip.
• 03:08:55 We can…
• 03:08:56 We can do that.
• 03:08:58 I’m sure Ma won’t mind.

Temerity

• 03:09:02 I can talk it over with her.
• 03:09:04 That sounds like a good idea though.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:07 Tim.

Temerity

• 03:09:09 Huh?

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:10 Tim,

Temerity

• 03:09:11 Tim.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:12 Yeah, he’s talking to you.
• 03:09:14 You can’t leave this town without saying something to Jun
• 03:09:18 iper.
• 03:09:18 she’ll…
• 03:09:20 I don’t know what she’ll do, but it’d be pretty bad if she
• 03:09:23 finds out you were here and didn’t
• 03:09:25 say nothing to her.

Temerity

• 03:09:27 community like rubs the back of their neck and was like
• 03:09:29 yeah uh where where is she by the way

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:33 - Mm.
• 03:09:33 She’s helping Ma in the kitchen, probably, since Eliza’s
• 03:09:38 not around to do it.

Temerity

• 03:09:39 - Yeah, Pa told me.
• 03:09:42 been
• 03:09:43 and staying out late a bit.

Dungeon Master

• 03:09:46 Yeah.
• 03:09:48 Yeah.
• 03:09:50 You know…
• 03:09:51 When I was her age, when any of us were, we were…
• 03:09:56 All of us, I think, were a little more rambunctious than…
• 03:09:59 than she’s been, but…
• 03:10:01 We’re always here to help with the chores, you know, except
• 03:10:05 Trevor,

Temerity

• 03:10:05 and he chuckles
• 03:10:07 I hear that he’s really
• 03:10:10 stepping up though

Dungeon Master

• 03:10:11 oh yeah he’s
• 03:10:13 doing good spending a lot of time
• 03:10:16 out with Devin on the river
• 03:10:18 I think he’s maybe
• 03:10:20 looking into making that a
• 03:10:23 A career.
• 03:10:24 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:10:26 Wouldn’t that be nice to always use more fissures?

Dungeon Master

• 03:10:31 Yeah, that’s true.
• 03:10:35 All right.
• 03:10:36 - Could always use more fish and eat less.

Temerity

• 03:10:39 - I mean, he joins.
• 03:10:41 And it’s like, all right, well, I’m gonna
• 03:10:43 I’m going to go say hi to Juniper.
• 03:10:44 Don’t got long, just…
• 03:10:46 decided to
• 03:10:47 Stopped by while Paul was making dinner.
• 03:10:50 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:10:51 He looks at Temerity for a long second.
• 03:10:54 He nods and says, all right, you do that.
• 03:10:57 I’ll get back to work.
• 03:10:58 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 03:10:59 All right, Temerity, we’ll head back in.
• 03:11:03 Half oblivious, half not.
• 03:11:05 They know that there’s an expectation.
• 03:11:09 I don’t think they really piece together everything with
• 03:11:12 Juniper.

Dungeon Master

• 03:11:15 You head back in
• 03:11:17 Sorry, go ahead, Bruce.

Iva

• 03:11:19 monkey paw curling when she says we need more fissures
• 03:11:22 and instead is misheard as fissures and, uh,

Dungeon Master

• 03:11:26 Crooks-Packets. Consumed in an
• 03:11:30 earthquake.
• 03:11:30 I can’t
• 03:11:31 Thank you.
• 03:11:32 Um,
• 03:11:33 You head into the kitchen and Maurine Kemble and Juniper
• 03:11:37 Kemble are both working on dinner.

Temerity

• 03:11:42 Uh-huh.
• 03:11:44 Oh.
• 03:11:46 Um,
• 03:11:47 Yeah.
• 03:11:50 Temerity…
• 03:11:52 - God.
• 03:11:53 Temerity walks in…
• 03:11:56 like clears her throat, obviously takes her boots off,
• 03:12:00 doesn’t want to dirty the kitchen.
• 03:12:04 But…
• 03:12:04 Um.
• 03:12:05 Walks in, clears her throat, and is like…
• 03:12:08 Hey, y’all.

Dungeon Master

• 03:12:10 They both turn around.
• 03:12:12 Um,
• 03:12:14 Thank you.
• 03:12:14 Maureen says, um,
• 03:12:17 Oh, Temerity, it’s so good to see you. I didn’t expect to
• 03:12:20 see you for probably months.
• 03:12:22 Um, we’re just working on dinner.
• 03:12:24 If you want to stop in and have some…
• 03:12:25 She kind of turns and looks at Juniper and says…
• 03:12:29 I’m gonna run out and ask Henry if he wants…
• 03:12:33 It wants any…
• 03:12:36 I’ll be back
• 03:12:37 and she leaves
• 03:12:38 she heads right out the door
• 03:12:42 without a second thought
• 03:12:43 give me an insight check
• 03:12:45 I don’t know

Temerity

• 03:12:47 Oh, boy.

Unidentified

• 03:12:51 Okay.

Temerity

• 03:12:56 10…

Dungeon Master

• 03:12:58 - Beautiful.
• 03:12:59 Um,
• 03:13:01 Juniper walks over to you and looks you up and down.
• 03:13:07 It says,
• 03:13:08 I did not…
• 03:13:11 I did not think you would be back so soon.

Temerity

• 03:13:13 um,
• 03:13:14 just for the night.
• 03:13:17 happened to be passing by.
• 03:13:20 - Oh. - Bye.

Dungeon Master

• 03:13:22 - Lantern business?
• 03:13:24 You’re not a light-worn already, are you?

Temerity

• 03:13:27 Uh, he like rubs the back of their neck.
• 03:13:32 No…
• 03:13:34 But…
• 03:13:35 I’m
• 03:13:36 Uh,
• 03:13:39 I’m I’ve been selected for
• 03:13:43 uh,
• 03:13:46 I’m in the selection process for the
• 03:13:49 dragoons instead they’re uh
• 03:13:52 uh,
• 03:13:54 a branch of the light wardens.
• 03:13:56 But
• 03:13:57 …

Unidentified

• 03:13:58 Okay.

Temerity

• 03:14:00 Not really official Light Warden business.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:04 Oh.
• 03:14:05 All right, it’s.

Temerity

• 03:14:06 But you’re not…
• 03:14:09 Sorry, go ahead. You were talking already. Go ahead.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:11 You’re not in any trouble, are you?

Temerity

• 03:14:14 Oh, oh, oh.
• 03:14:15 Yeah.

Unidentified

• 03:14:16 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:14:17 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
• 03:14:19 Ha ha ha ha ha ha
• 03:14:21 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
• 03:14:24 guys I think we’re gonna have to kill juniper no um
• 03:14:34 Fuck, how do I want to play this off?
• 03:14:38 Um…
• 03:14:40 Oh, you know, if I was, nothing I couldn’t handle.

Dungeon Master

• 03:14:46 I mean, they didn’t kick you out, did they?
• 03:14:49 No, no.
• 03:14:50 Back with your tail between your legs?
• 03:14:52 Okay.

Temerity

• 03:14:52 Okay.
• 03:14:52 No, no, if anything, I’ve got
• 03:14:57 uh
• 03:15:04 Yeah, no, I haven’t been kicked out.

Dungeon Master

• 03:15:07 All right, good.
• 03:15:09 be a big waste of
• 03:15:10 of a lot of
• 03:15:12 A lot of hard goodbyes if you were back already without
• 03:15:15 accomplishing what you set out to accomplish.

Temerity

• 03:15:19 laughs
• 03:15:21 Trinity, is it like a--
• 03:15:23 small chuckle it’s like yeah no um
• 03:15:27 It’s a--
• 03:15:31 That…
• 03:15:34 I’m wanting to say it’s almost like a
• 03:15:36 uh,
• 03:15:37 this.
• 03:15:39 Sigh.
• 03:15:39 I don’t know what the phrases I’m looking for are.
• 03:15:42 Not like a special promotion, but to signify that it’s
• 03:15:45 different from being a light warden and it’s like…
• 03:15:48 Prestigious.
• 03:15:50 Katie Robbert: Yeah, what you can process.

Dungeon Master

• 03:15:52 I think that’s it.
• 03:15:53 that it’s,
• 03:15:55 - That it’s still part of the Order of the Lantern,
• 03:15:57 but it’s more prestigious than being a light warden.

Temerity

• 03:16:00 - That’s selective.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:01 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:16:03 Yeah.
• 03:16:04 That’s…
• 03:16:06 Basically what Temerity says in…

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:11 She’d smile and say, well, I always I always knew you were
• 03:16:13 special.
• 03:16:14 I’m glad they see it, too.

Temerity

• 03:16:16 I’m ready.
• 03:16:19 uh,
• 03:16:21 sheepishly rubs the back of their neck.
• 03:16:24 Yeah, I just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone.
• 03:16:30 before,
• 03:16:32 uh,
• 03:16:32 Before we turned in, had dinner with Pa.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:34 Oh, you’re having dinner with Father Emberthumb?

Unidentified

• 03:16:40 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Temerity

• 03:16:43 You really coxed her head a little bit.
• 03:16:44 That’s very formal.

Luma

• 03:16:46 Busted.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:46 He’s like the priest
• 03:16:49 I don’t know how she would, like, address him.

Temerity

• 03:16:51 No, that’s true. You’re right, you’re right, you’re right.

Dungeon Master

• 03:16:53 I think it’s a little different you calling their dad Pa
• 03:16:57 than her calling the, like, town preacher Pa.

Temerity

• 03:16:59 Priest Pa, yeah.
• 03:17:02 No, yeah, that was some, uh, uh, Henry or pause something.
• 03:17:06 henry insisted on and yeah yeah he’s fucking up
• 03:17:10 uh,
• 03:17:12 - Temerity.
• 03:17:14 too many nods it’s like yeah uh pa wanted to cook for all
• 03:17:18 of us and who might deny him um but yeah

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:22 no for sure

Temerity

• 03:17:23 We’re thinking of--
• 03:17:25 stopping by on the way back,
• 03:17:27 or at least I’m thinking of it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:30 You damn well better now that you said that.

Temerity

• 03:17:34 He chuckles.
• 03:17:36 It’s like I was…
• 03:17:37 I was hoping that we could maybe have dinner with y’all.
• 03:17:41 Uh,

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:42 David, proud of that.
• 03:17:44 I’m sure everyone would love that.
• 03:17:46 Maybe we could even get Eliza to stick around.

Temerity

• 03:17:50 Yeah, I heard she’s been…
• 03:17:52 uh,
• 03:17:53 Been a bit late to dinner.
• 03:17:55 A couple times this past week.

Dungeon Master

• 03:17:59 Yeah.
• 03:18:00 Yeah, that’s true.
• 03:18:01 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:18:03 She seemed like
• 03:18:05 downtrodden about that.

Dungeon Master

• 03:18:09 Give me an insight check.

Temerity

• 03:18:11 All right.
• 03:18:13 I cannot read Juniper 5.

Dungeon Master

• 03:18:18 Unfortunately, your own feelings, keeping your own feelings
• 03:18:22 , like…
• 03:18:24 The way you parted and like being back so soon, not having
• 03:18:28 not having had time to prepare to coming back and seeing
• 03:18:31 all these people again, your own feelings are just too at
• 03:18:35 the forefront to like even come close to looking at anyone

Temerity

• 03:18:39 else’s.
• 03:18:39 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 03:18:41 Um, it’s just, there’s just no telling.

Temerity

• 03:18:47 - All right.
• 03:18:49 if
• 03:18:50 uh,
• 03:18:59 Were you going to say something after that?
• 03:19:01 No, I was not.
• 03:19:02 - Okay.
• 03:19:05 to Meridius, like,
• 03:19:07 Um,
• 03:19:12 uh,
• 03:19:17 Oh, they already have dinner plans.
• 03:19:18 There’s no reason for Temerity to invite…
• 03:19:20 No, there is, but not really.
• 03:19:23 They had their own dinner plans.
• 03:19:25 So yeah, Temerity’s like, I promise Paul, if I saw Eliza, I
• 03:19:30 ’d give her
• 03:19:30 I’d have a little talk about it with her.

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:34 Well, if you want to put yourself through that, by all
• 03:19:39 means…
• 03:19:39 Temerity, but I’ve tried
• 03:19:41 talking to her and she just won’t.
• 03:19:45 It’s…

Temerity

• 03:19:47 Has she said anything about what she’s been doing?

Dungeon Master

• 03:19:51 No, she she she doesn’t talk much to any of us about
• 03:19:55 anything.
• 03:19:55 just…
• 03:19:56 yes or no to every question…
• 03:19:59 Um,

Temerity

• 03:20:00 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 03:20:02 No.
• 03:20:03 At least when Trevor was going through his rebellious phase
• 03:20:08 , he, I don’t know, like,
• 03:20:11 paint
• 03:20:11 And I’m still sorry about this.
• 03:20:13 I know you were the one who had to fix it,
• 03:20:15 but he’d paint rude drawings on the church
• 03:20:18 like it was something, you know…

Unidentified

• 03:20:21 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:20:23 I don’t remember.

Dungeon Master

• 03:20:26 You know what I’m saying, though.
• 03:20:29 It was…
• 03:20:29 yeah it was bad and we had to we had to
• 03:20:33 Ma and Pa had to
• 03:20:35 to teach him some hard lessons about that, but, uh,
• 03:20:38 you at least knew what was going on.
• 03:20:41 He was a young boy acting out.
• 03:20:44 No one knows what’s up with Eliza.
• 03:20:47 And it’s…
• 03:20:48 You know, it’s hard.
• 03:20:50 especially for Ma.
• 03:20:52 You know how she is about
• 03:20:55 Not.
• 03:20:57 not wanting anyone around her to be down and
• 03:21:01 Well,
• 03:21:03 It’s hard on me.

Temerity

• 03:21:07 and he nods and like,
• 03:21:09 uh,
• 03:21:14 Sorry, fuck.
• 03:21:16 I keep…
• 03:21:17 forgetting
• 03:21:18 Not forgetting, but the words I want to use keep
• 03:21:21 escaping me
• 03:21:23 Um,
• 03:21:26 to maybe like
• 03:21:28 uh,
• 03:21:38 Fuck, I’m so sorry guys.
• 03:21:39 Um,

Iva

• 03:21:41 - My immersion, it’s rude.

Temerity

• 03:21:43 - I know, I know.
• 03:21:46 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:21:50 we can
• 03:21:51 We can move a step back.
• 03:21:54 Is there anything else you want to like…
• 03:21:56 you want to touch on.

Temerity

• 03:21:56 I guess what Mary was going to bring up,
• 03:21:58 like if they know around where like Eliza goes,
• 03:22:04 Uh, no, they don’t got no idea.

Dungeon Master

• 03:22:07 No, they got no idea.
• 03:22:09 They don’t think she’s like leaving town really, or at
• 03:22:11 least not the area around town.
• 03:22:14 She’s not, like, taking a horse or anything like that, as
• 03:22:17 far as anyone knows.
• 03:22:18 People have seen her around town.
• 03:22:21 just kind of like
• 03:22:22 hanging out.

Temerity

• 03:22:24 Yeah, doing her thing.

Dungeon Master

• 03:22:25 Okay.
• 03:22:26 Doing her thing.

Temerity

• 03:22:26 Yeah, Temerity just basically reaffirms the promise.
• 03:22:29 Like, yeah, if I see her, I’ll talk with her.
• 03:22:32 talk with her.

Dungeon Master

• 03:22:34 Mm-hmm.
• 03:22:34 set, uh,
• 03:22:36 Junior Super says, well…
• 03:22:38 We all appreciate that.
• 03:22:42 And
• 03:22:44 you already, you got your plans with Father Emberthumb this
• 03:22:50 evening and
• 03:22:50 Honestly, I wouldn’t take that away from him.
• 03:22:52 I don’t know.
• 03:22:53 uh,
• 03:22:54 Dinner’s probably ready over there, getting about ready
• 03:22:57 around now, and…
• 03:22:59 I’m going to hold you to stopping back by on your way back
• 03:23:02 if you can.
• 03:23:04 Thank you.
• 03:23:04 Thank you.
• 03:23:06 passing through

Temerity

• 03:23:07 many nods.
• 03:23:10 Yeah, and hopefully we can catch up more.
• 03:23:13 lots of Chinese in Argentum.

Dungeon Master

• 03:23:16 She nods and says, I’d like that.
• 03:23:18 Not that I don’t love your letters.
• 03:23:23 Sorry, I got so much ink on that last one.

Temerity

• 03:23:26 All right, dude, it’s like…
• 03:23:30 Waves it away.
• 03:23:30 It’s like, oh, no worries.
• 03:23:33 Like, I…
• 03:23:35 uh,
• 03:23:36 Just getting a letter is more…
• 03:23:39 is enough for me.
• 03:23:43 And yeah.
• 03:23:46 Ahem.
• 03:23:46 Temerity will give Juniper a hug.
• 03:23:50 And say their goodbyes as they are going to go back to have
• 03:23:54 dinner with Father Emberthumb and the rest of the party.
• 03:23:58 - I’m sorry, I sprung this all up.

Dungeon Master

• 03:24:00 - No, you’re good.
• 03:24:02 You, she returns the hug and
• 03:24:06 And you’re able to, you head out around when Hazel is
• 03:24:10 pulling back into town.
• 03:24:14 Hmm.
• 03:24:15 So you,
• 03:24:16 You two, unless, is Hazel, once Hazel is out of wild shape,
• 03:24:20 is Hazel being stealthy?

Hazel

• 03:24:21 Nah, nah, they’ll run into each other on the road back.

Dungeon Master

• 03:24:24 Then, yeah, you bump into each other around…
• 03:24:28 Around, like, the edge of, like, the, like, the center of
• 03:24:31 town around where, like, all the, nope, that’s not where
• 03:24:33 the road is.
• 03:24:34 Around, like, here and here somewhere.

Temerity

• 03:24:37 Gotcha.
• 03:24:38 find what you’re looking for
• 03:24:44 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 03:24:44 No.
• 03:24:47 That’s a good thing.

Unidentified

• 03:24:49 laughs

Temerity

• 03:24:51 laughs
• 03:24:53 All right.
• 03:24:53 Find what you were looking for?
• 03:24:56 Mary nods.
• 03:24:58 Yeah.
• 03:24:59 No.
• 03:24:59 talked with the Kembles
• 03:25:01 uh,
• 03:25:02 Nice conversations.
• 03:25:05 um,
• 03:25:06 we might, on the way back to Argentum,
• 03:25:10 they offered us a meal.
• 03:25:13 So I’d appreciate it if we all could
• 03:25:16 Eat there with them.

Hazel

• 03:25:19 I,
• 03:25:20 Thank you.
• 03:25:21 don’t see a world in which any of them object?

Temerity

• 03:25:26 Yeah, I mean, hard to say no to free food, right?

Hazel

• 03:25:32 Indeed.

Temerity

• 03:25:35 All right.
• 03:25:36 Yeah, to me. I assume by this time we’re probably back at
• 03:25:39 that.

Dungeon Master

• 03:25:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 03:25:40 You guys get back, you see,
• 03:25:43 Um, out in the backyard, you see the light of a campfire.
• 03:25:47 Um, it’s been made in like the dirt path that Father Ember
• 03:25:50 thumb keeps up, two tents.
• 03:25:52 sprung up on both sides of it.
• 03:25:55 Um, and and the light shining on risks and um.
• 03:25:59 Luma and Iva.
• 03:26:04 As the sun is like down over the horizon and the sky begins
• 03:26:09 to, the stars begin to dot the sky.

Temerity

• 03:26:12 Oh man, this like scene is kind of so nostalgic for Temer
• 03:26:18 ity, they can’t help but just have kind of like a half smile
• 03:26:20 .
• 03:26:21 They seem a lot more relaxed here than they’ve been in
• 03:26:25 Argentum.
• 03:26:28 Uh, as they, they approach the group, um,
• 03:26:34 I see you guys got the tents.

Iva

• 03:26:35 Everyone else is on edge.

Temerity

• 03:26:37 I see you guys got the tin set up.
• 03:26:44 All right.

Luma

• 03:26:47 Oh.
• 03:26:49 Hazel, you’re not even sweating.
• 03:26:53 You mean?
• 03:26:54 Well, you’re moving really fast.

Hazel

• 03:26:57 Hazel’s eyes whining
• 03:27:03 And it’s just like,
• 03:27:06 Ah.
• 03:27:08 Actually, how does that work?
• 03:27:08 It’s an object that’s being worn or carried, but gets put
• 03:27:12 into my body when I wild shape it.

Dungeon Master

• 03:27:14 Um,
• 03:27:15 I am fine with it working either way so it’s a question of
• 03:27:21 would you
• 03:27:21 Yeah.
• 03:27:22 As far as I’m concerned, it’s totally fine if it’s still
• 03:27:24 worn or carried, and you’re still trackable in wild shape.

Hazel

• 03:27:28 Yeah, it’s a lot funnier if I’m trackable and wild shape.
• 03:27:32 Were you a wolf?
• 03:27:34 Yeah.
• 03:27:35 So 50, it’s, I think, 50 feet a turn?

Dungeon Master

• 03:27:39 Yeah.
• 03:27:39 It is a 40-foot moon speed, 80 if you’re dashing.

Hazel

• 03:27:43 Yeah, and she would have been running around.
• 03:27:47 Um,

Luma

• 03:27:50 For a marathon runner, you should teach me how to run, that

Iva

• 03:27:53 ’d be really fun.
• 03:27:53 Peva goes, yeah, I want to learn how to run.

Luma

• 03:27:57 - No.
• 03:27:59 you

Dungeon Master

• 03:28:05 um,
• 03:28:05 at about this point…
• 03:28:08 Father Emberthumb comes out with…
• 03:28:12 a tray of
• 03:28:14 still husked corn, not cooked.
• 03:28:18 Um, and some skewers.
• 03:28:21 Um,
• 03:28:22 And it says, if y’all wanted to roast the corn yourselves,
• 03:28:25 I also got some butter, if anyone wants that, and some salt
• 03:28:28 .
• 03:28:31 And…
• 03:28:31 um,
• 03:28:32 And when you’re done with that, come into the church and we
• 03:28:34 ’ll have,
• 03:28:34 we’ll have your corn and stew.

Temerity

• 03:28:38 All right. Yeah, to marry you. Definitely grab some corn,
• 03:28:41 grab a skewer, get some butter, get some salt.
• 03:28:44 I can start roasting that shit up.

Iva

• 03:28:49 - I was like,
• 03:28:51 This is a weird way to cook corn.

Hazel

• 03:28:53 Hazel grabs two corn.
• 03:28:55 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 03:28:58 There’s plenty of porn, so that’s…

Dungeon Master

• 03:29:01 No, no, no.

Rhysaene

• 03:29:02 No, she was like, she was like, not…
• 03:29:06 you can see it’s a method

Temerity

• 03:29:11 A method.

Rhysaene

• 03:29:11 Just trust the process.

Temerity

• 03:29:15 to Alva.

Hazel

• 03:29:16 - Oh, I see, I see.

Iva

• 03:29:19 He goes…
• 03:29:20 Peace.
• 03:29:21 I mean, like…
• 03:29:22 If it’s fair, like, you just roast it over, like, an open
• 03:29:25 fire like this, not like…

Temerity

• 03:29:27 Mm-hmm.
• 03:29:29 Oh, yeah.
• 03:29:30 Thank you.

Iva

• 03:29:31 Have you never been camping before?

Temerity

• 03:29:33 Corn gets a nice char.

Iva

• 03:29:35 I have a look that
• 03:29:37 uh
• 03:29:39 Because…
• 03:29:39 No.

Hazel

• 03:29:41 What on earth do they do in Argentum?

Temerity

• 03:29:44 laughs
• 03:29:45 I don’t know.
• 03:29:46 I shouldn’t have played it.

Hazel

• 03:29:48 uh,
• 03:29:49 laughs
• 03:29:51 Hazel’s just, like, blinking, like, how is this person even
• 03:29:55 still alive?

Luma

• 03:30:00 All right, let me show you, and we’ll start helping Iva out
• 03:30:02 .
• 03:30:04 You can wrap it in material and put it in the coals.
• 03:30:09 Or you can hold it over the fire, just don’t burn yourself.

Hazel

• 03:30:13 I was gonna pull a Marcilla moment that, that, uh,
• 03:30:17 That Hazel shows her her favorite food.
• 03:30:21 She’s just a squirrel on a fucking stick.

Iva

• 03:30:30 Watch.
• 03:30:30 I was like holding it
• 03:30:32 over the fire is like,
• 03:30:33 I don’t know if I’m doing this right.

Luma

• 03:30:35 Yeah, just keep turning it.
• 03:30:37 How do I know it’s done?
• 03:30:39 It was a brown color.
• 03:30:41 Yeah.

Iva

• 03:30:43 It was supposed to be holding attention to its color.

Luma

• 03:30:46 If you hold on too long, it’ll explode.
• 03:30:49 laughs

Temerity

• 03:30:53 my community will like
• 03:30:54 take their corn out of the fire or away from the fire and
• 03:30:57 be like uh once it gets about this color
• 03:31:00 like browned.
• 03:31:03 and charred a little.

Hazel

• 03:31:04 Did they teach you anything useful in the light wardens?

Iva

• 03:31:08 They taught me how to fight.
• 03:31:13 Kind of.
• 03:31:15 And they taught me how to help people.

Luma

• 03:31:19 Hmm.
• 03:31:24 What if we run into somebody who’s really hungry?
• 03:31:27 and only roasted corn can save them.

Iva

• 03:31:30 Then I take them to a
• 03:31:33 that sells roasted corn
• 03:31:36 And get them roasted corn.

Luma

• 03:31:38 What if they’re too far away?
• 03:31:43 This is life or death situation, Iva.

Iva

• 03:31:45 then they die.

Luma

• 03:31:47 Oh, no.
• 03:31:49 If only you knew how to roast corn.
• 03:31:51 Look, you know how to do roast corn now.
• 03:31:53 You’re good.

Iva

• 03:31:56 -

Temerity

• 03:31:57 You’re good, Iva.
• 03:31:57 You can take it out of the fire.
• 03:32:00 You’re good, you’re good.
• 03:32:02 Takes it out of the fire panicking.

Hazel

• 03:32:06 hazel cooks her share and sage’s share as well and then we
• 03:32:13 ’ll head inside
• 03:32:15 Did Rhys take any corn?

Rhysaene

• 03:32:17 Yes.

Temerity

• 03:32:18 Eat!
• 03:32:19 You’re just…

Dungeon Master

• 03:32:21 Guys…
• 03:32:23 I think there’s a very real possibility that I could sell
• 03:32:26 Olivia on what if we just, like, RP’d, like, farm life
• 03:32:30 every week.
• 03:32:32 Yeah.
• 03:32:33 Except that, that’s…

Hazel

• 03:32:35 I would.
• 03:32:36 She is the one that is most into…
• 03:32:39 uh,
• 03:32:39 what Anna refers to,
• 03:32:42 uh,
• 03:32:42 affectionately as group hallucination.

Dungeon Master

• 03:32:44 it’s the best part
• 03:32:48 You start to head inside and as you enter the abbey itself,
• 03:32:54 the church building, the smell of…
• 03:32:56 fish stew and fresh baked breads,
• 03:33:00 Um,
• 03:33:01 uh,
• 03:33:02 Thank you.
• 03:33:02 becomes very apparent on the air.
• 03:33:06 The table has been laid out
• 03:33:07 with all of the stew already in individual bowls,
• 03:33:12 seats set up for everyone,
• 03:33:15 except unfortunately for wrists,
• 03:33:18 but there’s a place set aside for wrists
• 03:33:20 where there’s not like a chair in the way.
• 03:33:22 Um,
• 03:33:23 Because there’s not really centaur chairs…
• 03:33:26 Um,
• 03:33:27 There’s bread, stew.
• 03:33:30 um,
• 03:33:31 uh,
• 03:33:33 And
• 03:33:34 Um,
• 03:33:35 Probably, probably…
• 03:33:38 Probably water and milk.
• 03:33:40 to drink.
• 03:33:41 Probably not a big alcohol family.

Iva

• 03:33:47 His mother, Emberthumb, has been on recovery for years now.

Temerity

• 03:33:50 Father? Yeah.
• 03:33:53 How do you think of the response?
• 03:33:54 Father Emberthumb has a glass of wine every once in a while,
• 03:33:57 but…
• 03:33:59 Not a big alcohol family, no.

Dungeon Master

• 03:34:02 um,
• 03:34:02 Father Emberthumb’s at the head of the table, up on his
• 03:34:05 little high chair.

Temerity

• 03:34:09 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 03:34:13 uh,
• 03:34:13 And seated at the seat next to him is Anthusa, and they are
• 03:34:19 deep in conversation.
• 03:34:22 He, he, he, he.
• 03:34:26 Um, as you all come in, he looks up and says, Oh, good. Um,
• 03:34:30 I hope you roasted some for me, Temerity.

Temerity

• 03:34:33 Yeah, Temerity would’ve.
• 03:34:35 Sorry, I didn’t specify it, but Temerity would have.
• 03:34:38 Nope, you didn’t specify it.
• 03:34:39 It’s too late.
• 03:34:40 You can’t take it back.

Dungeon Master

• 03:34:41 Father, he’s crying that you forgot him.
• 03:34:45 He’s sobbing.
• 03:34:47 He takes his knife.

Hazel

• 03:34:49 for the cruise risk.
• 03:34:53 Oh my God, I was going to say his chest, but…

Rhysaene

• 03:34:57 I don’t know.
• 03:34:59 takes his knife out of his chest is crazy.

Dungeon Master

• 03:35:02 Yeah.
• 03:35:04 No, he, yeah, you definitely did.
• 03:35:07 He takes his and he…
• 03:35:10 takes a big bite and says, everyone sit down.
• 03:35:16 We have a wonderful time.

Iva

• 03:35:17 Me and Ethus are getting married.
• 03:35:19 Me and Ethus are getting married.
• 03:35:21 We’ve just, no.

Temerity

• 03:35:24 - Yeah.
• 03:35:26 Oh, Rhys, what can I say?

Dungeon Master

• 03:35:30 I’m gonna, I need to ask the table a quick question.
• 03:35:35 How…
• 03:35:37 How, how, how evil am I, the DM feeling today?
• 03:35:44 11 out of 12.

Luma

• 03:35:45 You gave Olivia so much group hallucination, I say 100 out
• 03:35:52 of 10.
• 03:35:53 All right.

Dungeon Master

• 03:35:56 I can’t balance it out.
• 03:35:57 Unfortunately, we’re
• 03:35:59 We’re pouring it, we’re piling it on Olivia today, okay?
• 03:36:03 Yeah, let’s get her!

Luma

• 03:36:04 I meant balance out the good with the bad.

Dungeon Master

• 03:36:06 Okay, yeah.
• 03:36:08 Well, it’s not the kind of bad you’re thinking.
• 03:36:10 This isn’t Temerity torture.
• 03:36:12 This is Olivia torture.
• 03:36:13 Oh, so great.
• 03:36:15 Father Emberthumb looks up and says,
• 03:36:18 Temerity, would you do the honor of saying grace for the
• 03:36:24 table?

Temerity

• 03:36:24 Ah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:36:25 She planned for this, I’m fucked

Hazel

• 03:36:28 Sorry
• 03:36:28 I said cross-legged on her chair
• 03:36:32 Like a freak

Iva

• 03:36:33 Iva does
• 03:36:36 what Hazel does.

Temerity

• 03:36:38 Oh, why?

Iva

• 03:36:40 ’cause it’s interesting.

Temerity

• 03:36:42 it’s many nods and like
• 03:36:44 Reaches their hands out so that everybody can grasp hands.
• 03:36:47 Thank you.
• 03:36:49 You know, like chain hands together.
• 03:36:51 If you want to do grace, we’re doing grace.

Iva

• 03:36:53 Who’s next?
• 03:36:54 How are we sitting?
• 03:36:55 This is important.

Temerity

• 03:36:55 Yeah, this is important now.
• 03:36:57 I’m going to be sitting next to…

Dungeon Master

• 03:36:58 Give me your saying grace
• 03:37:01 order in the church.
• 03:37:02 With your tokens, please.

Temerity

• 03:37:04 I assume Father Emberthumb and
• 03:37:07 Dusa are at the head of a table, right?
• 03:37:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 03:37:10 Hold on.
• 03:37:11 I think you can use this log pile as a table.

Rhysaene

• 03:37:13 I will hold hands with Hazel.

Temerity

• 03:37:17 - Temerity would sit next to,
• 03:37:18 but like on the corner of Father Emberthumb.

Luma

• 03:37:23 Luma’s sitting across from Temerity or wherever that
• 03:37:25 actually puts her, I don’t know.

Hazel

• 03:37:27 So,
• 03:37:29 You know, Hazel will sit next to Temerity and Rhys.
• 03:37:32 Hazel will, oh, whoops, not that like that, there you go.
• 03:37:35 Hazel will…
• 03:37:37 uh,
• 03:37:38 Although sitting next
• 03:37:41 To Temerity, Hazel places a hand on Sage’s head and motions
• 03:37:45 for Temerity to do that.

Temerity

• 03:37:47 I swear he does.

Hazel

• 03:37:49 - Yeah.

Luma

• 03:37:50 He’s done with that.
• 03:37:55 All right, I’ll grab a screenshot.
• 03:37:56 Uh, uh,
• 03:37:59 This is a fucking skeleton!
• 03:38:02 Killer! Killer!
• 03:38:04 I’m sorry, there’s our circle.

Temerity

• 03:38:06 Yeah.
• 03:38:12 Um,
• 03:38:13 But yeah, Temerity will have everyone grab hands.
• 03:38:17 And they’ll close their eyes and bow their head.
• 03:38:20 and see.
• 03:38:23 Yeah.

Unidentified

• 03:38:24 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 03:38:27 - Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:38:28 - Yeah.
• 03:38:30 tables about the most oh my god i haven’t said grace in
• 03:38:35 years fuck me
• 03:38:38 I can’t say dear Lord.

Dungeon Master

• 03:38:40 You also have to say like the silver flame grace,
• 03:38:43 not like grace.

Hazel

• 03:38:46 give thanks to the silver flame for the protection against
• 03:38:50 the sorrow and thank everyone for being and
• 03:38:53 And for the,
• 03:38:54 Like
• 03:38:55 ability to bring everyone together.
• 03:38:57 for a meal.
• 03:38:58 Yeah.
• 03:38:59 Thanks for the answer to them, you know?
• 03:39:02 Sorry, I’m doing it for you, but you were like, it’s been
• 03:39:05 so long, so I figured I’d help you out.

Temerity

• 03:39:07 No, you’re good.

Dungeon Master

• 03:39:09 Don’t help her.

Temerity

• 03:39:10 Don’t help your shirt proud.
• 03:39:14 Our father.

Hazel

• 03:39:16 Our Bahamut who are in some kind of place.
• 03:39:20 Probably not heaven.
• 03:39:21 That shit don’t exist anymore.

Iva

• 03:39:23 Our Bahamut buried under the city of Argentum.

Temerity

• 03:39:26 Art in Celestia.
• 03:39:30 May the-- all right, Temerity will bow their heads.
• 03:39:33 and begin
• 03:39:38 May the silver flame burn away our fears.
• 03:39:41 burn away our worries.
• 03:39:44 and provide a guiding light for us in these times.
• 03:39:48 Thank you for your protection.
• 03:39:52 for
• 03:39:53 family.
• 03:39:54 for friends.
• 03:39:56 and for the meal we’re about to have.
• 03:40:00 And fuck, what’s the amen that we do?
• 03:40:03 The flamethrower by us.
• 03:40:04 The flame provides, the flame provides.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:07 And Father Emberthumb and…
• 03:40:09 I think I…
• 03:40:13 Yeah, I don’t know what any of you do, but Father Emberthumb
• 03:40:17 answers back the flame provides.
• 03:40:20 I don’t think Anthusa does.
• 03:40:22 No, I don’t think Anthusa won at all!
• 03:40:24 I don’t know.

Iva

• 03:40:25 It’s by the first time Anthusa looked uncomfortable the
• 03:40:28 entire time I’ve been around.
• 03:40:33 Eva, like, mumbles it unhappily.

Luma

• 03:40:39 I know what you’re saying.

Hazel

• 03:40:42 Toot, toot.

Luma

• 03:40:43 going along with the group.

Hazel

• 03:40:45 Yeah.
• 03:40:46 I was not aware you religious folk were so brazen with your
• 03:40:48 incantations.

Dungeon Master

• 03:40:50 Thank you.
• 03:40:51 laughing
• 03:40:52 on.
• 03:40:54 That’s a…
• 03:40:54 Father Emberthumb looks over at
• 03:40:57 at Hazel and says, that’s a very formal way of putting it.
• 03:41:03 incantation, but
• 03:41:06 I do like to say a prayer at meals to just…
• 03:41:11 to remember
• 03:41:12 the good fortune I’ve had and
• 03:41:15 That’s how I raised Temerity.

Hazel

• 03:41:18 Prayer to who?

Dungeon Master

• 03:41:20 to the silver flame.

Temerity

• 03:41:27 Hazel
• 03:41:29 Uh…

Hazel

• 03:41:34 Hazel pauses for a second.
• 03:41:38 and is just go just
• 03:41:41 It’s just like, well…
• 03:41:46 I hope they listened.
• 03:41:48 - Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 03:41:49 Oh, he looks over at Temerity.
• 03:41:53 He looks around the table, he looks back at Temerity.
• 03:41:58 And he smiles and he says, well, many of my prayers have
• 03:42:02 been answered.

Temerity

• 03:42:04 And the very new smiles.

Luma

• 03:42:09 She explodes now.

Dungeon Master

• 03:42:13 he looks at Luma and then at Temerity

Unidentified

• 03:42:21 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:42:21 Oh, that was an inside thought.
• 03:42:24 Oh, shit.

Rhysaene

• 03:42:26 she doesn’t say shit

Luma

• 03:42:29 sorry

Dungeon Master

• 03:42:30 she was gonna
• 03:42:31 she was gonna catch
• 03:42:32 catch words

Luma

• 03:42:33 oh no

Iva

• 03:42:36 Iva goes.
• 03:42:38 A light warden who explodes…

Luma

• 03:42:41 To me, it’s like I told them.
• 03:42:45 What’s the last one inside that?

Temerity

• 03:42:47 It’s like I’ve told them.
• 03:42:49 Um,
• 03:42:50 they’ve actually…
• 03:42:52 uh…
• 03:42:54 helped me in some of my most recent struggles um

Dungeon Master

• 03:42:59 That’s wonderful.

Temerity

• 03:43:01 Yes, they’re all really great helps.
• 03:43:06 when
• 03:43:07 I don’t know.
• 03:43:09 when,
• 03:43:09 uh,
• 03:43:11 one of the lava lamps in the city exploded.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:17 I’m sorry, Lava Lamps?

Temerity

• 03:43:20 Yes. Oh, fuck. I thought he would know that since he’s a
• 03:43:23 part of the Synod.
• 03:43:24 - Shit.
• 03:43:25 Uh…

Luma

• 03:43:28 Oh, but we don’t want to talk about him.
• 03:43:31 I’m going to flip through her journal and holds up a little
• 03:43:33 sketch of the…
• 03:43:34 Thank you.
• 03:43:35 Like festival grounds with the lanterns.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:38 - Interesting, so that’s the kind of…
• 03:43:41 lighting they have in the city.
• 03:43:44 And one exploded.

Luma

• 03:43:46 He flips a page and it’s a depiction of it exploding.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:48 Oh my.

Temerity

• 03:43:52 Yes.

Dungeon Master

• 03:43:54 Anthusa looks at the drawing and then looks at Iva…
• 03:43:59 I think it was a shrug.

Hazel

• 03:44:01 Hold on, look at that.
• 03:44:03 Quickly.
• 03:44:04 Quickly flip between the two pages.

Unidentified

• 03:44:07 Thank you.

Hazel

• 03:44:09 Oh my goodness, a moving picture
• 03:44:12 We gotta get on this, guys
• 03:44:13 Ha ha ha
• 03:44:19 I see it.
• 03:44:19 I see a little mouse creature.
• 03:44:22 We can make millions.
• 03:44:24 You can be right here and talk about…
• 03:44:25 laughing

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:29 Iva turns into, or not Iva, Hazel turns into a mouse and
• 03:44:33 you put her in like a little paper boat.

Temerity

• 03:44:35 Yeah.
• 03:44:36 Tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu.

Hazel

• 03:44:40 I don’t know.

Temerity

• 03:44:42 - Thanks Paul.
• 03:44:48 Oh, yeah, Temerity’s just like, yeah, they…
• 03:44:51 They helped, uh,
• 03:44:52 They help save a lot of lives that day.
• 03:44:55 Oh, that’s…

Dungeon Master

• 03:44:56 It’s nice to hear.

Temerity

• 03:45:04 The catch out of the bag.

Dungeon Master

• 03:45:10 Temerity, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred
• 03:45:12 times, don’t use that voice.

Iva

• 03:45:17 Temerity, if I told you once, I’ve told you twice, I hate
• 03:45:19 cats!

Dungeon Master

• 03:45:20 I hate cats!

Iva

• 03:45:21 I hate cats, I hate them!

Dungeon Master

• 03:45:24 No, Father Emberthumb is allergic to cats.
• 03:45:27 All.
• 03:45:28 Yeah, that’s right.
• 03:45:30 Poor guy.

Iva

• 03:45:31 Yeah, it sucks.
• 03:45:33 You have a new mission.

Temerity

• 03:45:35 Wait till you guys

Hazel

• 03:45:38 meet Hazel’s cat.

Rhysaene

• 03:45:39 It’s a problem.
• 03:45:41 I pull a cap out of my chest.

Hazel

• 03:45:44 Hazel kind of like
• 03:45:46 nods to that and says,
• 03:45:48 It says, “Indeed. Father, when you told me that you beheld
• 03:45:51 the miracle of the silver flame, I didn’t realize you meant
• 03:45:56 so literally.”

Dungeon Master

• 03:45:57 Oh, I…
• 03:45:59 I mean, for…
• 03:46:01 I mean,
• 03:46:01 It’s not something we’re very…
• 03:46:04 It’s not something that
• 03:46:05 that we talk about a lot
• 03:46:08 Humility is a…
• 03:46:12 What are the second things called?
• 03:46:15 Humility is a virtue after all.
• 03:46:17 But yes, I was being quite literal.

Hazel

• 03:46:23 Mm-hmm.
• 03:46:24 humility.

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:25 Yes.

Hazel

• 03:46:26 Hehehehehehe.
• 03:46:28 laughter
• 03:46:31 Mm-mm-mm-mm.
• 03:46:32 Yeah.
• 03:46:33 Father does love to equivocate, holy…

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:36 Hehehehe.
• 03:46:38 - He’s a preacher.
• 03:46:40 - He’s a preacher.

Temerity

• 03:46:43 - Yeah.
• 03:46:44 Mm-hmm.
• 03:46:44 Yeah, Temerity is digging into their food.
• 03:46:47 It’s just, thank you.
• 03:46:48 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 03:46:50 - Oh, Temerity.
• 03:46:52 I’m.
• 03:46:54 I was cleaning up your old room for Anthusa
• 03:47:00 And I couldn’t find any of your music
• 03:47:05 I think it may have blown out the window or something.
• 03:47:08 I could have sworn that you had left it on your desk, but

Temerity

• 03:47:10 …
• 03:47:12 Oh.
• 03:47:14 he’s like oh
• 03:47:16 they do look like a little
• 03:47:20 set up that they’re like oh

Luma

• 03:47:22 Wait, you play music too?

Temerity

• 03:47:24 Ah, exactly.

Dungeon Master

• 03:47:28 Um,
• 03:47:28 No, go ahead. Sorry.

Temerity

• 03:47:30 No, you go ahead.
• 03:47:30 I wasn’t saying anything.

Dungeon Master

• 03:47:32 I…
• 03:47:33 hate you. No, um,
• 03:47:35 fuck. Um,
• 03:47:39 Oh, yes, Temerity had some sheet music for some hymns of the
• 03:47:45 flame.
• 03:47:45 Um,
• 03:47:45 that
• 03:47:47 I had to get it from the city
• 03:47:52 Um, where, where they, where they print it and, um,
• 03:47:56 It seems to have
• 03:47:57 gone missing
• 03:47:58 It’s not a big deal. I could probably order some more.

Hazel

• 03:48:03 Or you can…
• 03:48:05 into her bag and puts the sheet music on the table.

Dungeon Master

• 03:48:09 I don’t know.
• 03:48:11 Well, I’ve
• 03:48:13 I’m, I’m,
• 03:48:14 He kind of looks at Hazel for a moment.
• 03:48:16 He looks at her for a moment and says, I’m glad you found

Hazel

• 03:48:22 it.
• 03:48:22 I left silver on her desk.

Dungeon Master

• 03:48:27 Temerity left that…
• 03:48:29 How much was it?

Hazel

• 03:48:32 uh,
• 03:48:35 I can’t seem to recall.
• 03:48:37 uh,

Dungeon Master

• 03:48:38 I don’t think I wrote that down.

Hazel

• 03:48:41 It’s like…
• 03:48:41 I think it was two.

Dungeon Master

• 03:48:44 He, um…
• 03:48:47 He goes to like a little pouch on his
• 03:48:49 like a little fanny pack and he pulls out
• 03:48:51 two silver coins and he slides
• 03:48:53 it over to Hazel. He says,
• 03:48:55 if you had asked, I would have
• 03:48:58 I would have given it to you.

Luma

• 03:49:00 I can copy it if you want.
• 03:49:00 I can make two.

Hazel

• 03:49:03 Hazel shakes, shakes their head and says, turns out I have
• 03:49:07 no interest in music.

Dungeon Master

• 03:49:11 Oh, um…
• 03:49:12 Very well.
• 03:49:13 But you should take your coin back.
• 03:49:16 And you need that more than I do.

Hazel

• 03:49:22 That we are in agreement on.
• 03:49:24 And Joel, take him back.
• 03:49:25 Hehehehe.

Temerity

• 03:49:29 Tim.
• 03:49:29 Temerity is handing the sheet music to Luma.
• 03:49:33 It’s like, can you please make coffees?

Luma

• 03:49:35 Yeah.
• 03:49:36 Almost hurts.
• 03:49:37 writing.
• 03:49:37 Yeah.
• 03:49:38 Yeah, you’re…
• 03:49:44 She goes to write with her finger.
• 03:49:46 Uh…
• 03:49:47 realizes the company that she’s in and then like pauses and
• 03:49:51 digs into her pocket to pull out an actual link pen
• 03:49:53 and start handwriting it.
• 03:49:55 Yeah, DC gets in contact over…
• 03:49:59 anytime nobody is looking, Luma
• 03:50:01 somehow jumps forward, like…
• 03:50:03 three lines in the span of
• 03:50:05 of a few seconds.

Hazel

• 03:50:10 The FTC is going to get in contact with you over a legal
• 03:50:13 distribution of
• 03:50:14 copyrighted material.
• 03:50:15 true shit

Luma

• 03:50:18 it’s fine I copied the copyright

Dungeon Master

• 03:50:20 - FTC won’t let me be.
• 03:50:23 - You’re able to copy the sheet music no,
• 03:50:26 and that’s what it is, it is just sheet music.
• 03:50:28 and you’re able to copy that no problem.

Luma

• 03:50:32 I’m going to resist the urge to, like,
• 03:50:33 weave in some goofy notes to
• 03:50:36 It’s a prank to Murdy.
• 03:50:38 Hehehehe.
• 03:50:41 Thank you.
• 03:50:42 but eventually she hands it back kind of like,
• 03:50:44 way too quickly.
• 03:50:46 So,
• 03:50:47 Oh, thank you.

Temerity

• 03:50:49 It’s still kind of wet, so don’t touch it.
• 03:50:51 All right, and Temerity will, like, leave it on the table
• 03:50:53 and, like, hand the originals to their father and brother.
• 03:50:57 Temerity will take the paper off the table and put it in
• 03:51:00 their bag.
• 03:51:03 I go back to eating

Dungeon Master

• 03:51:05 Father Emberthumb takes it and sets it aside
• 03:51:08 And says I’ll make sure this gets put away this time

Temerity

• 03:51:11 Thank you.
• 03:51:14 it’s like just shooting glances at hazel like why would you
• 03:51:18 take my music
• 03:51:19 but like it’s just approaching the topic
• 03:51:24 Yeah.

Unidentified

• 03:51:25 Yeah.

Temerity

• 03:51:27 Why’d you take it?

Hazel

• 03:51:32 I found it interesting.

Temerity

• 03:51:36 Huh.

Hazel

• 03:51:38 I had never seen
• 03:51:41 sheeted music before.

Temerity

• 03:51:47 Yeah, it was…
• 03:51:48 It’s to help learn.
• 03:51:52 Um…
• 03:51:54 sorry
• 03:51:55 he just like
• 03:51:57 awkwardly looks back at their plate
• 03:51:59 and like just keeps eating
• 03:52:01 they don’t know really how to handle this
• 03:52:05 they’re like
• 03:52:07 that’s just
• 03:52:08 they’ve never met anyone like Hazel where they just…
• 03:52:12 I think they were original notes or something.
• 03:52:16 Huh?

Iva

• 03:52:17 Hazel thought that they were, yeah…

Hazel

• 03:52:20 All she saw was, like, weird runes she’d never seen before,
• 03:52:24 like, lifts she’s never seen before,
• 03:52:25 and then, like, words underneath them.
• 03:52:27 Yeah.
• 03:52:28 This is some kind of incumulation.
• 03:52:30 - That’s awesome.

Dungeon Master

• 03:52:31 Uh-huh.
• 03:52:34 And kind of like the awkward lull,
• 03:52:37 Um,
• 03:52:38 Father Emberthumb turns to Anthusa and goes,
• 03:52:41 And so…
• 03:52:45 uh,
• 03:52:46 laughs
• 03:52:47 And you’re Iva’s mother, are you married?

Unidentified

• 03:52:52 Yeah.
• 03:52:53 I’m sorry.

Hazel

• 03:52:56 laughs
• 03:52:58 Hazel nods and says, I was under the impression most people
• 03:53:00 had two parents.

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:02 Um,
• 03:53:03 Eric goes, well, most people
• 03:53:06 she shakes her head and says no no never married um and iva
• 03:53:10 of course um
• 03:53:12 as you all know, is adopted.
• 03:53:16 But no, I’ve never been married.
• 03:53:21 Oh, let me roll a die.
• 03:53:25 There’s a line
• 03:53:27 She’s been married
• 03:53:29 She’s been married
• 03:53:29 Has she? Did I miss something up?

Iva

• 03:53:31 No, no, no.
• 03:53:32 Did I get rolling a lie for deception?
• 03:53:35 No, no, no.
• 03:53:37 No, no, no.
• 03:53:39 No, I thought someone was not there.
• 03:53:39 Mother Emberus.
• 03:53:42 Father Emberthumb is?

Dungeon Master

• 03:53:45 Oh, man.
• 03:53:47 Oh.
• 03:53:48 She says, “Oh, no, no, no, never been married.”
• 03:53:53 Would you like to be?
• 03:53:54 would you like
• 03:53:56 oh
• 03:53:58 I see, I see.
• 03:54:00 And he takes a long drink of his milk.

Iva

• 03:54:05 Iva goes…
• 03:54:07 Oh, does that mean Temerity was also adopted?
• 03:54:12 .
• 03:54:13 - -

Luma

• 03:54:17 Mary’s adopted too?
• 03:54:17 Is anybody not adopted?
• 03:54:20 Woman raises her hand.
• 03:54:22 Answer my own question.
• 03:54:22 Hazel raises her hand.
• 03:54:25 Hazel is…

Hazel

• 03:54:26 I don’t know.
• 03:54:27 - Brilliant.
• 03:54:29 Hazel is not adopted.
• 03:54:30 At least she doesn’t think she’s adopted.
• 03:54:32 I am not adopted.
• 03:54:34 Hazel doesn’t have a mother.
• 03:54:36 Hazel’s about to learn that she’s adopted by having to roll

Iva

• 03:54:39 a deception check going, wait, wait, wait.
• 03:54:40 That’s not how that works.

Hazel

• 03:54:42 No, Hazel doesn’t.
• 03:54:43 If you asked Hazel, Hazel does not have a family.
• 03:54:48 Just those people she grew up with.

Rhysaene

• 03:54:52 Are we raising…
• 03:54:54 Are we raising for people that don’t have…

Dungeon Master

• 03:54:58 I think you might ask who’s not adopted.

Rhysaene

• 03:55:01 Oh, yeah, Rhys will raise that.

Luma

• 03:55:04 Okay, I was kind of worried.
• 03:55:06 I don’t want to be like the weird one.

Temerity

• 03:55:10 No.
• 03:55:10 Does that make us a weird one?
• 03:55:13 Yeah.

Iva

• 03:55:14 Iva goes.

Unidentified

• 03:55:17 Well, yeah, you explode.
• 03:55:19 You’re definitely the weird one.

Iva

• 03:55:23 I’m going to say something and then it immediately goes
• 03:55:26 quiet.
• 03:55:27 -

Luma

• 03:55:29 Yeah, you can’t say anything against that.

Iva

• 03:55:32 No, I was going to, I, Bruce almost messed up, thus Iva was
• 03:55:36 messed up and went, yeah, of course we’re the weird ones,
• 03:55:39 we’re the only light wardens, but, uh…
• 03:55:41 Yeah.
• 03:55:43 One of those things isn’t true anymore.

Temerity

• 03:55:51 Shh.
• 03:55:52 That’s going to live in my brain forever.

Luma

• 03:55:57 Hopefully…

Temerity

• 03:55:58 Father Ember is.
• 03:55:59 Ember is, and what he can do with his hands?

Rhysaene

• 03:56:06 I call the ember foam giving an ember crumb.

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:10 Cheers.
• 03:56:11 What?
• 03:56:12 - All right.
• 03:56:13 Um…
• 03:56:15 dinner is is is good it’s nice to have a home-cooked meal i
• 03:56:19 think especially for Temerity
• 03:56:21 yeah back home um
• 03:56:26 the food gets
• 03:56:28 eated and night presses
• 03:56:30 on and Father Imbethum says
• 03:56:32 well I’m an old man and I should probably get
• 03:56:35 to bed.
• 03:56:35 - Uh-oh.
• 03:56:36 He hops down off his chair and offers a hand to Anthusa and
• 03:56:41 says,
• 03:56:41 I can show you your room if you would like.
• 03:56:44 And she says, oh, yes, I would love that.
• 03:56:47 Thank you.

Iva

• 03:56:47 it’s real funny because father embersome is way older than
• 03:56:52 her
• 03:56:52 She’s only 50, you sick fuck.

Dungeon Master

• 03:56:54 yeah it’s like a 46 year age gap it’s crazy that’s hella

Luma

• 03:57:03 problematic
• 03:57:05 Avelings live to just normal human years?

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:08 I think they live to, like…

Temerity

• 03:57:09 - They go older. - 120, I think.

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:12 Yeah, well…
• 03:57:14 I don’t remember off the top of my head,

Temerity

• 03:57:16 Yeah, it’s like 120 or 150.

Luma

• 03:57:19 They both have about, like, 40 years left each, so it’s…

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:22 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:57:23 It’d be their twilight years.

Dungeon Master

• 03:57:25 Um, but, but, but they head off leaving those of you, the
• 03:57:29 rest of you around the table.

Luma

• 03:57:32 uh,
• 03:57:32 I really want to go map the town before we leave so I
• 03:57:35 should probably go get that done.

Temerity

• 03:57:37 Huh?
• 03:57:37 All right.
• 03:57:39 Yeah, I mean, if you do that--
• 03:57:43 Maybe Paul would like that, if he could make a copy,
• 03:57:47 possibly.

Luma

• 03:57:48 Yeah, sure.

Hazel

• 03:57:51 Who is Park?

Unidentified

• 03:57:53 Thank you.

Temerity

• 03:57:55 Father…
• 03:57:56 Emberthumb.
• 03:57:58 He’s my paw.
• 03:58:00 I call him PAW.

Hazel

• 03:58:02 years.
• 03:58:04 father and pa.

Luma

• 03:58:08 - Father Pa.

Hazel

• 03:58:10 I’m a man of many titles.

Temerity

• 03:58:12 The very chuckles of the Louisville.

Rhysaene

• 03:58:18 Om.
• 03:58:19 wait.
• 03:58:22 before y’all
• 03:58:23 hit off.
• 03:58:26 Um,
• 03:58:28 There was some…
• 03:58:29 Fucking.
• 03:58:31 weird
• 03:58:32 - Yeah.
• 03:58:33 I shouldn’t say that in church.
• 03:58:37 There was some…
• 03:58:40 conspicuous looking people
• 03:58:44 A lot of people in the movement talked to.
• 03:58:46 Yeah.

Luma

• 03:58:48 - What was her name again? I forgot.

Rhysaene

• 03:58:50 Uh, did you even, did you catch it?

Luma

• 03:58:54 I asked, and I’m pretty sure I got a response.

Dungeon Master

• 03:58:56 Yes, I, it was, she told you her name is Sister Ashryn.

Luma

• 03:59:01 Yeah sister Ashton, she’s a drow
• 03:59:04 60 years old with no history.

Rhysaene

• 03:59:06 cheat
• 03:59:07 She was asking about loss.
• 03:59:09 I think. She asked me what it was like to lose…

Temerity

• 03:59:16 Hmm.

Iva

• 03:59:17 Where are they?

Rhysaene

• 03:59:22 Mm-hmm.
• 03:59:23 Um…

Iva

• 03:59:25 They said they went to the Miller’s house.

Rhysaene

• 03:59:27 Yes.
• 03:59:30 Yeah.
• 03:59:32 I mean, I don’t think Rhys was able to see that.
• 03:59:35 Oh, hit that.

Luma

• 03:59:36 Oh.
• 03:59:37 Yeah, they’re staying at the Miller’s house.
• 03:59:39 If I experience loss, I’m supposed to go talk to her.
• 03:59:42 I don’t think I’m going to…

Hazel

• 03:59:44 I’m just going to go to the Miller house.

Luma

• 03:59:48 All right.

Temerity

• 03:59:49 Uh,
• 03:59:50 Well, these aren’t people that Temerity’s ever heard of,
• 03:59:55 right?

Dungeon Master

• 03:59:57 Um, no.
• 03:59:58 If you…
• 04:00:01 you
• 04:00:02 you probably
• 04:00:03 Don’t know what a drow is, but there’s maybe one elf in Cr
• 04:00:07 ick’s Bend and they do not meet this description.

Temerity

• 04:00:10 - Uh-huh.
• 04:00:11 um
• 04:00:11 Thank you.
• 04:00:13 Yeah, this is…
• 04:00:14 A person like this showing up
• 04:00:17 would be a little weird.
• 04:00:19 There’s some travelers that pass by, but like,
• 04:00:24 Yeah, they’ve been here for a couple days, I guess.
• 04:00:26 uh,
• 04:00:27 As Hazel, like, gets up to go…
• 04:00:29 off to Temerity is going to be like,
• 04:00:32 Like, whoa.
• 04:00:34 Do you know this person?
• 04:00:37 Maybe that’s too direct.
• 04:00:41 Yeah.

Hazel

• 04:00:42 No.
• 04:00:43 but
• 04:00:48 There is
• 04:00:49 little reason for people to be out this far.
• 04:00:51 Thank you.
• 04:00:54 End.
• 04:00:57 if they’re weird,
• 04:00:58 then it’s important to know who they are.

Temerity

• 04:01:04 Thank you.

Iva

• 04:01:05 I mean, I could show you what they looked like.
• 04:01:10 I’m okay.
• 04:01:11 I will.
• 04:01:12 that

Hazel

• 04:01:14 That’s kind of…
• 04:01:17 That’s kind of weird.

Luma

• 04:01:25 We’re using the weird word a lot tonight, aren’t we?

Temerity

• 04:01:28 Yeah, I love that Hazel.

Iva

• 04:01:32 -

Luma

• 04:01:34 Okay, well, I’m going to go map.
• 04:01:37 I’m just going to wander off.

Dungeon Master

• 04:01:40 Luma heads out to map.
• 04:01:43 Hazel, you’re heading off towards the Miller’s house.

Iva

• 04:01:47 - Yeah.
• 04:01:47 - I didn’t bring up dinner at the Kembles.
• 04:01:50 I was going to follow Hazel.

Dungeon Master

• 04:01:54 Iva follows Hazel.
• 04:01:57 Leaves risk also following.

Temerity

• 04:02:00 - Ah.
• 04:02:03 Yeah, Temerity will tag along, yeah.
• 04:02:04 I will also tag along, yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:02:07 So,
• 04:02:08 Uh, Luma, you watch as the party heads up north along the
• 04:02:11 road as you kind of head out to…
• 04:02:14 to map the town

Luma

• 04:02:17 Watches him go, kind of frowns a little bit, but then turns
• 04:02:20 and heads out.

Unidentified

• 04:02:22 Um,

Dungeon Master

• 04:02:26 y’all head up to the Miller’s house, um,
• 04:02:30 You head up to the north end of the town, and you get to a
• 04:02:33 place that is…
• 04:02:36 is, quite frankly, just a house.
• 04:02:39 Um,
• 04:02:40 It’s a big house.
• 04:02:41 It’s by the standards of the town, it’s like a good-sized
• 04:02:46 …
• 04:02:46 Um,
• 04:02:50 Um, this, this, this building south, just south of the mill
• 04:02:54 , in fact,
• 04:02:54 I can’t, I can’t do the map thing where I draw on the map.
• 04:02:57 for some reason.
• 04:02:59 Yeah, thank you.
• 04:03:01 Um,
• 04:03:02 Yes.
• 04:03:03 And there’s a lantern lit hanging over the front porch and
• 04:03:08 you can smell some food and
• 04:03:11 The door is shut, but you can hear…
• 04:03:15 light voices coming from inside.
• 04:03:22 OK.
• 04:03:23 So I was distracted by spinning circles around the house.
• 04:03:25 Temerity, you know this is not out of the ordinary.
• 04:03:28 The Miller’s house is a house where people can’t rent rooms
• 04:03:32 .
• 04:03:32 Yeah.
• 04:03:33 People use the downstairs as a common area to…
• 04:03:38 chat or eat.
• 04:03:40 Um,
• 04:03:41 But it very much is just like a house.
• 04:03:45 Uh-huh.
• 04:03:46 Jim Miller himself,
• 04:03:48 uh,
• 04:03:50 He still lives on the property.
• 04:03:54 Um, but he, he’s like, he’s like moved his entire existence
• 04:03:58 into the cellar.

Temerity

• 04:03:59 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 04:04:00 so that he can rent out the house above.
• 04:04:05 Um,
• 04:04:06 It’s a little known fact.
• 04:04:09 Um,
• 04:04:10 But if the Kembles are the wealthiest family in Crick’s
• 04:04:14 Bend…
• 04:04:14 Um,
• 04:04:15 Jim Miller is probably…
• 04:04:17 right up there with them, though they’re
• 04:04:21 There’s a lot less that shows that for him.

Temerity

• 04:04:25 Yeah.
• 04:04:26 Thank you.
• 04:04:28 um,
• 04:04:31 Sorry.
• 04:04:31 Okay.
• 04:04:35 medieval.
• 04:04:38 go into the
• 04:04:40 to the Miller’s house.

Dungeon Master

• 04:04:41 Hazel heads in seven.
• 04:04:44 you head inside and it it’s fairly quiet. There’s, um,
• 04:04:47 There’s like a…
• 04:04:49 In the dining room is like a bunch of different people
• 04:04:52 gathered around a table.
• 04:04:53 I say a bunch, like four or five different people gathered
• 04:04:56 around a table.
• 04:04:57 Kind of chatting and eating and going back and forth from
• 04:05:00 the kitchen to the dining room.
• 04:05:03 Um,
• 04:05:04 Thank you.
• 04:05:04 Uh, in the, in the next room, there’s not, there’s like an
• 04:05:07 open, like arch, not archway, but like, like.
• 04:05:11 open
• 04:05:12 Like…
• 04:05:13 passage, I guess, into the living room.
• 04:05:16 And there in the corner,
• 04:05:19 sitting in like a dim candlelight
• 04:05:21 is a woman in like
• 04:05:24 Black robes…
• 04:05:27 a nun’s habit and like a black but see-through veil over
• 04:05:33 her mouth.
• 04:05:33 Um,
• 04:05:33 She’s reading…
• 04:05:35 A lake.
• 04:05:37 from a,
• 04:05:38 like kind of raggedy
• 04:05:41 black leather bound book.
• 04:05:43 with a cup of tea sitting at the little table steaming
• 04:05:47 beside her.
• 04:05:51 that meets the description entirely that Luma gave
• 04:05:55 The description that Luma gave of the companion, there is
• 04:05:59 no matching person to that there.

Temerity

• 04:06:01 Okay.
• 04:06:04 Ahem.
• 04:06:05 Um…
• 04:06:09 If there’s any faces in here that Temerity recognizes, they
• 04:06:14 …
• 04:06:14 give like, you know, the town nod, hello.
• 04:06:17 Whatever, as they make the work towards that person.

Dungeon Master

• 04:06:20 You probably recognize like one or two people at the table
• 04:06:22 and then the rest are clearly travelers.

Temerity

• 04:06:25 Yeah.
• 04:06:25 Yeah.
• 04:06:29 Um…

Dungeon Master

• 04:06:30 She looks up.
• 04:06:31 Um,
• 04:06:32 As you approach, without hesitation, she looks up.
• 04:06:36 And one hand closes the book and sits it on the table
• 04:06:39 beside her.

Temerity

• 04:06:41 Cool.
• 04:06:42 Serious.

Dungeon Master

• 04:06:43 Um, she, she has a very stern, serious face.

Temerity

• 04:06:50 Thank you.
• 04:06:50 Um,
• 04:06:52 maybe we’ll extend a
• 04:06:55 hand.

Dungeon Master

• 04:06:57 She…
• 04:06:58 reaches out and takes
• 04:07:00 Temerity’s hand gives it like a little shake.

Temerity

• 04:07:04 My name’s Temerity.
• 04:07:07 my friends told me
• 04:07:10 uh,
• 04:07:12 that you’re a new face in town
• 04:07:14 and I wanted to come by and say hello.

Dungeon Master

• 04:07:17 Oh.

• 04:07:19 And indeed, I am
• 04:07:22 I have not been in town long.
• 04:07:24 Um,
• 04:07:26 It’s always nice to meet new people.
• 04:07:29 Temerity is an interesting name, is it not?

Temerity

• 04:07:34 uh,
• 04:07:35 - Too many nods.
• 04:07:36 uh,
• 04:07:37 I think some may say, yeah.

Hazel

• 04:07:41 I don’t have to cut your jib lady.
• 04:07:43 laughter
• 04:07:45 Hazel’s just like chilling behind
• 04:07:48 Temerity or like next to Temerity
• 04:07:50 just like

Dungeon Master

• 04:07:53 um,
• 04:07:55 Ah, well.
• 04:07:58 Yeah.
• 04:07:59 Um,
• 04:08:01 Um,
• 04:08:02 Give me a perception check.

Hazel

• 04:08:04 All right.
• 04:08:04 Yes.

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:08 - Woo!

Iva

Dungeon Master

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:19 Um,
• 04:08:21 - Thank you very much.
• 04:08:22 Rhys and, um…

Rhysaene

• 04:08:23 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:25 And Iva, I suppose, can also roll.

Rhysaene

• 04:08:29 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:08:30 these are some good rolls guys
• 04:08:32 yeah damn

Hazel

• 04:08:34 Thank you.
• 04:08:35 actually,
• 04:08:36 I mean, it’s a,
• 04:08:37 decent role for me. I rolled a 13th.

Temerity

• 04:08:39 Oh, shit. I rolled an 18.

Rhysaene

• 04:08:43 What was the check?

Iva

• 04:08:44 perception.

Dungeon Master

• 04:08:48 - Good news.
• 04:08:50 The thing that you pick up on that’s out of the ordinary…
• 04:08:57 And this is everyone but Rhys.
• 04:09:00 Um,
• 04:09:01 is, um, she kind of smells, um,
• 04:09:06 She kind of smells a little like…
• 04:09:12 Like, like, like a, like a,
• 04:09:15 Almost like a…
• 04:09:19 like an earthy perfume
• 04:09:21 or like a kind of almost like a spice perfume or like
• 04:09:24 incense.
• 04:09:26 Just something, like, strong but pleasant, kind of like…
• 04:09:30 Hot in her clothes.

Temerity

• 04:09:34 Mm-mm.
• 04:09:37 That’s crazy. Temerity hasn’t met many people that are perf
• 04:09:41 umed.
• 04:09:43 Ugh, you stink.
• 04:09:43 Ugh, you stink.
• 04:09:47 He’s like, whoa.

Hazel

• 04:09:50 - No.
• 04:09:53 Hazel will…
• 04:09:54 Uh-uh.
• 04:09:56 Hazel will sniff and say…
• 04:10:01 You have an interesting scent.
• 04:10:03 What do you use?
• 04:10:04 laughs

Iva

• 04:10:06 I don’t know.
• 04:10:06 She smells nice.
• 04:10:08 Don’t be mad.

Dungeon Master

• 04:10:09 Just common…
• 04:10:11 Just common incense.
• 04:10:13 um,
• 04:10:15 Is Sage with Hazel?
• 04:10:17 Yes.
• 04:10:21 just common
• 04:10:23 Common quality instance, nothing I’m sure that you…
• 04:10:27 you would have any trouble finding, and she kind of looks
• 04:10:30 at Sage.
• 04:10:32 Oh, God.

Rhysaene

• 04:10:34 That’s what you are

Hazel

• 04:10:37 uh,
• 04:10:39 cough
• 04:10:41 um,
• 04:10:42 Yeah. Hazel just kind of like blinks.
• 04:10:45 Um,
• 04:10:48 Yeah.
• 04:10:49 And goes, I see.
• 04:10:51 Um,
• 04:10:53 Well,
• 04:10:55 - Yeah.
• 04:10:57 Like my friend here said, we were just
• 04:11:02 We were informed of you staying here and weren’t interested
• 04:11:05 in
• 04:11:08 interested in making your acquaintance

Dungeon Master

• 04:11:11 I give a little taste.
• 04:11:13 She smiles.
• 04:11:14 No, sorry, she doesn’t smile.
• 04:11:16 She doesn’t do that.
• 04:11:18 Never mind.
• 04:11:18 She nods to wrists.
• 04:11:26 Well, I always appreciate making the acquaintance of new
• 04:11:30 new people I’ve never met before, so…
• 04:11:33 Welcome.

Temerity

• 04:11:35 Thank you.
• 04:11:37 What brings you to the crick?

Dungeon Master

• 04:11:41 I don’t know.
• 04:11:43 My companion and I just like to travel around the Vale and
• 04:11:48 meeting new people and…
• 04:11:50 exchanging
• 04:11:52 uh,
• 04:11:53 thoughts and ideas with them.

Temerity

• 04:11:56 Hmm.

Hazel

• 04:12:02 Um,
• 04:12:06 Hazel, Hazel nods and says,
• 04:12:09 uh,
• 04:12:11 It seems like a…
• 04:12:16 It seems like the kind of lifestyle I would want one day.

Temerity

• 04:12:18 Look.
• 04:12:20 He, he, he, he.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:22 Well, it’s certainly
• 04:12:24 Certainly allows you to see
• 04:12:28 the truth of the world.

Hazel

• 04:12:33 And what has your travels shown you?
• 04:12:37 to be true.

Dungeon Master

• 04:12:38 Thank you.
• 04:12:38 Oh, a great many things, but
• 04:12:43 If I’m to share such things, I’d be curious what to…
• 04:12:49 what truths have you found in the wide world?
• 04:12:53 You look a traveler yourself.

Hazel

• 04:13:03 So far all I’ve really learned is that folks from Argentum
• 04:13:06 don’t know much about anything.

Dungeon Master

• 04:13:08 She nods and says that surely is true.

Temerity

• 04:13:12 Cheers.

Iva

• 04:13:13 Iva kind of just puts her head down a little.

Temerity

• 04:13:16 Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
• 04:13:19 Well, uh…
• 04:13:22 If there’s anyone
• 04:13:23 Uh,
• 04:13:26 No, sorry.
• 04:13:30 A good person to poke
• 04:13:33 To poke their brain here is Father Emberthumb down by the
• 04:13:37 Abby.

Dungeon Master

• 04:13:38 Oh, the priest, yes.
• 04:13:41 uh,
• 04:13:42 I
• 04:13:43 I thought about maybe speaking with him before my companion
• 04:13:47 and I had to leave.
• 04:13:49 Um,
• 04:13:51 you recommend I do?

Temerity

• 04:13:54 Thank you.
• 04:13:55 Yeah, he, uh…
• 04:13:57 He’s a very smart man, took me in.

Dungeon Master

• 04:14:02 How charitable.
• 04:14:08 Do you find that
• 04:14:10 the world…
• 04:14:12 is a charitable place in general Temerity.

Temerity

• 04:14:23 I find that…

Iva

• 04:14:27 That’s a weird question to ask.

Hazel

• 04:14:32 I find
• 04:14:33 that
• 04:14:35 The charitability.
• 04:14:38 that people have
• 04:14:40 It is what sets…
• 04:14:41 uh, not such as part.

Temerity

• 04:14:44 Is what…
• 04:14:48 is the strongest thread that we have to hold us together.

Dungeon Master

• 04:14:53 Hmm.
• 04:14:56 An interesting philosophy.
• 04:15:05 She kind of like pauses and doesn’t really say anything in
• 04:15:08 response to that.
• 04:15:11 Um,
• 04:15:12 Ian commenting that it was interesting.
• 04:15:14 And while you guys talk, Luma…
• 04:15:19 - Well,
• 04:15:20 You kind of wander the town, it’s not a big city by any
• 04:15:26 means.
• 04:15:26 Um, you map, you map the north up where your companion, or
• 04:15:30 …
• 04:15:30 No, sorry.
• 04:15:30 You met the South where you came into town.
• 04:15:36 houses, fields, the center of town,
• 04:15:40 There’s a tavern there.
• 04:15:42 um,
• 04:15:43 That is just like a one-story tavern, no inn or rooms for
• 04:15:46 rent.
• 04:15:47 But you can see people coming in and out and buying drinks
• 04:15:50 and food.
• 04:15:52 There’s a general store, which is now closed, it looks like
• 04:15:55 .
• 04:15:55 There’s the church.
• 04:15:57 Um, you head out, uh, off the,
• 04:16:00 The…
• 04:16:01 what is essentially the only other main road,
• 04:16:04 The houses become sparser.
• 04:16:06 um,
• 04:16:08 You, you, um,
• 04:16:11 You map a big farmhouse with a big lake.
• 04:16:16 like,
• 04:16:17 Like fenced yard with a bunch of trees, some of which look
• 04:16:20 like they’re maybe like an orchard of some sort.
• 04:16:24 Um,
• 04:16:26 And, uh, it’s, it’s dark out at this point, like it was
• 04:16:29 sunset when you guys, um,
• 04:16:31 like
• 04:16:32 all gathered back for dinner.
• 04:16:34 And you, you, you double back around to head back to the
• 04:16:38 center of town and then to head north to map the area where
• 04:16:41 your companions were last.
• 04:16:43 Um,
• 04:16:44 And as you get back into town,
• 04:16:46 Um,
• 04:16:47 you
• 04:16:49 you notice someone
• 04:16:51 Actually, give me a perception check.
• 04:16:55 And I roll this a silly little number.
• 04:16:59 And then you just get a…

Hazel

• 04:17:01 You don’t see anything, actually.

Dungeon Master

• 04:17:02 You don’t see anything, actually.
• 04:17:03 Don’t worry about…
• 04:17:04 No, give me a perception check.
• 04:17:07 - Not most dark vision. - Yeah.

Luma

• 04:17:09 Yeah, she has her lantern.
• 04:17:13 Um,
• 04:17:14 because
• 04:17:15 She’s afraid of the dark, but that’s beside the point, I
• 04:17:18 think.
• 04:17:18 Aw.
• 04:17:18 Uh, 14.

Dungeon Master

• 04:17:23 Um,
• 04:17:26 You, this person isn’t,
• 04:17:29 So you notice as you come back, someone is sneaking.
• 04:17:33 um,
• 04:17:35 like,
• 04:17:37 uh,
• 04:17:38 you, you’re, you’re, hold on, I’ll, I’ll sync view it.
• 04:17:41 If I can find my cursor.
• 04:17:46 Um,
• 04:17:47 Someone is sneaking out.
• 04:17:51 someone is sneaking like
• 04:17:53 trying to sneak up this way as you’re coming back this way.
• 04:17:59 But they’re not, like, this is just, like, a person.
• 04:18:01 They’re not, like, an adventurer.
• 04:18:03 They’re not, like, a…
• 04:18:03 a fee for an assassin.
• 04:18:05 So they’re,
• 04:18:06 they’re,
• 04:18:06 they’re,
• 04:18:07 they’re,
• 04:18:07 they’re doing okay for a person,
• 04:18:09 but you,
• 04:18:09 you notice them.
• 04:18:11 Um,
• 04:18:11 There it’s a
• 04:18:14 um,
• 04:18:16 A young human girl dressed in simple clothes…
• 04:18:19 Probably
• 04:18:21 Late teens…
• 04:18:24 Probably not even early 20s, probably late teens, very
• 04:18:27 young.
• 04:18:28 And she’s, like, trying to sneak around up to the…
• 04:18:32 She looks like she’s about to leave the road and go up into
• 04:18:35 the tree when she nearly bumps into you.
• 04:18:39 Super.

Luma

• 04:18:40 Oh, wow.
• 04:18:43 She left up her lantern for like,
• 04:18:45 Illuminate the person, just say hello.

Dungeon Master

• 04:18:51 Hello, I don’t…
• 04:18:52 I don’t know you, hello.

Luma

• 04:18:54 No? I’m Luma.

Dungeon Master

• 04:18:56 - Hello.
• 04:18:57 Are you an elf?

Luma

• 04:18:59 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:19:04 don’t get many elves in the crick.
• 04:19:07 Um, um,
• 04:19:10 Sorry, you’re…
• 04:19:12 I don’t mean to be rude, it’s just you’re out walking in
• 04:19:16 the middle of the night and…
• 04:19:18 That’s kind of kind of unusual. Do you mind if I ask what
• 04:19:21 you’re doing by my house?

Luma

• 04:19:23 It’s your house.
• 04:19:24 It’s a new family’s house.
• 04:19:27 I’m mapping the town while I’m here.

Dungeon Master

• 04:19:30 Why are you mapping the town?
• 04:19:31 It doesn’t change.

Luma

• 04:19:33 Well, yeah, but…
• 04:19:34 Has it ever been mapped before?

Dungeon Master

• 04:19:37 Mmm.
• 04:19:39 I don’t know, actually.
• 04:19:41 Maybe.

Luma

• 04:19:43 I never mapped it, so this is the first one.

Dungeon Master

• 04:19:48 All right, that’s…

Luma

• 04:19:50 What should I put for this house?

Dungeon Master

• 04:19:54 Well, that depends.
• 04:19:54 Did you get a…
• 04:19:56 Did you get a mapping license from the head of mapping and
• 04:20:00 map making in town?

Luma

• 04:20:05 Well, I’ve got one from Argentum, which I think has…
• 04:20:07 jurisdiction over all the Silver Vale here’s my papers she
• 04:20:10 ’ll start pulling out
• 04:20:12 She looks at the papers

Dungeon Master

• 04:20:15 Kind of like scratches her head
• 04:20:17 And like pauses as if she’s considering something
• 04:20:19 She hands them back and she says
• 04:20:21 I’m sorry that’s no good
• 04:20:23 You need a license from the head of mapping of
• 04:20:26 Crick spin.
• 04:20:27 Otherwise, you’re going to get in big trouble.

Luma

• 04:20:30 I don’t want to do that.

Dungeon Master

• 04:20:33 Where’s their Hoffa’s?
• 04:20:34 Well, luckily,
• 04:20:36 I’m…
• 04:20:37 Uh, I work in that office and, um, I, um, uh,
• 04:20:42 I could give you a license right now.
• 04:20:44 It’ll only cost you 10 gold.

Luma

• 04:20:47 Oh, that’s interesting. Licenses don’t usually cost.

Dungeon Master

• 04:20:51 - Hm, that, I…
• 04:20:52 You know, it’s a new policy, I think, out here.
• 04:20:57 Yeah, yeah.
• 04:20:59 What a role insight you can.

Luma

• 04:21:03 Oh, Luma knows what’s going on.
• 04:21:05 Elisa, fucking…
• 04:21:07 No, no, that’s true.
• 04:21:09 Okay, well, first of all,
• 04:21:10 Well, you know, we have to do a certification, so you can
• 04:21:12 follow me around while I continue mapping.
• 04:21:14 And you can judge my certification while we do that.
• 04:21:18 Oh.
• 04:21:20 It’ll only take like three or four hours.
• 04:21:22 It’s fine.
• 04:21:22 Let’s go.

Dungeon Master

• 04:21:22 - No, no, no, hold on, hold on.
• 04:21:28 I gotta get home.
• 04:21:28 I’m sorry.
• 04:21:30 It was nice meeting you, Luma.
• 04:21:35 Bye, and she takes off running.

Luma

• 04:21:37 - What about my certification?
• 04:21:40 She does not turn around when she’s…
• 04:21:43 Oh man, now I’m an illegal mapmaker.
• 04:21:45 that was a problem

Dungeon Master

• 04:21:50 Thank you.
• 04:21:51 That’s…
• 04:21:52 True.

Luma

• 04:21:53 We’ll start just following her.

Dungeon Master

• 04:21:54 She picks up up
• 04:21:57 Up, like, between the gap between the two fences around
• 04:22:01 where that tree is.
• 04:22:04 She heads up that way.

Luma

• 04:22:09 - There’s a weird direction for an office.

Dungeon Master

• 04:22:11 Yeah. I thought you said Luma
• 04:22:13 knew what was going on.

Luma

• 04:22:17 Yeah, but…
• 04:22:19 to an extent.

Temerity

• 04:22:20 laughs

Luma

• 04:22:22 She’s just curious.

Dungeon Master

• 04:22:24 Once she gets to like this place where the fence like gap,
• 04:22:27 she runs,
• 04:22:27 she begins heading like this way.

Luma

• 04:22:31 I don’t know where your markers disappeared for me.
• 04:22:34 Tell me when you can see it.
• 04:22:36 Oh my God.
• 04:22:36 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 04:22:38 She’s going around to the gate up at the top.
• 04:22:42 Uh…

Luma

• 04:22:45 Alright, well, Luma will watch and just make sure she makes
• 04:22:48 it to the gate safely before turning back and continuing on
• 04:22:51 her way.

Dungeon Master

• 04:22:51 Yeah, she heads to the gate…
• 04:22:54 And, like, heads into the yard and starts heading towards
• 04:22:58 the barn trying to be sneaky.

Luma

• 04:23:01 I’ll wave at her before continuing.

Dungeon Master

• 04:23:04 she
• 04:23:07 stops moving when Luma waves and
• 04:23:10 And waits for Luma to continue and then goes back to moving
• 04:23:14 , like stopping prevents Luma from continuing to see her.

Luma

• 04:23:18 I can see you, I’m an elf
• 04:23:20 I’ve got really good eyes
• 04:23:22 us.
• 04:23:24 She dives behind a tree.
• 04:23:27 I can see through trees, I’m an elf.
• 04:23:31 She takes off running.

Dungeon Master

• 04:23:34 She runs for the barn.

Luma

• 04:23:38 All right, now it will continue on.
• 04:23:40 Luma continues on.
• 04:23:44 That was a weird person.

Dungeon Master

• 04:23:45 You head up and you start mapping the northern part of the
• 04:23:51 town.
• 04:23:51 Meanwhile, you guys were still talking to Sister Ashryn.

Temerity

• 04:23:56 - Yeah.
• 04:23:57 - Thank you.
• 04:24:01 Ah!
• 04:24:02 Man, I should have gone with Luma.
• 04:24:05 Thank you.
• 04:24:05 Ha, ha, ha.
• 04:24:09 It’s going to make dinner at the Kemble’s.

Luma

• 04:24:12 Nobody wanted to go mapping with Luma and left her all on
• 04:24:14 her own in the dark.

Iva

• 04:24:16 Yeah, I can’t see in the dark.

Dungeon Master

• 04:24:18 For what it’s worth…
• 04:24:20 For what it’s worth, Luma, the town is incredibly well lit.
• 04:24:24 There are lanterns hanging everywhere.
• 04:24:27 Even on the trees along the fence…
• 04:24:30 Um,
• 04:24:31 where that last house was, the Kemble’s house,
• 04:24:34 there are lanterns hanging from the branches.

Luma

• 04:24:38 It makes things easier.
• 04:24:39 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 04:24:40 um,
• 04:24:41 But, like, when she, like, went up…
• 04:24:46 like between the fields, that was not lit.
• 04:24:49 and the backfield wasn’t lit.

Luma

• 04:24:51 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 04:24:53 But yeah, you guys are still talking to Sister Ashryn.

Temerity

• 04:24:56 Ah.
• 04:24:58 Yeah.
• 04:24:58 Uh…
• 04:25:08 We just mentioned the charity thing.
• 04:25:10 I guess Temerity is going to
• 04:25:16 uh,
• 04:25:20 Ask what charity means.
• 04:25:22 uh,
• 04:25:23 Ask them.
• 04:25:25 if they found the world charitable or what charity…
• 04:25:31 Um, those are so…

Dungeon Master

• 04:25:32 Which of those questions are you asking?

Temerity

• 04:25:35 Uh, the first one.

Dungeon Master

• 04:25:38 um,
• 04:25:39 If they found the world charitable.

Temerity

• 04:25:42 - Yeah, ’cause that’s what they asked.

Dungeon Master

• 04:25:43 Yeah.
• 04:25:44 She says, um…
• 04:25:46 Thank you.
• 04:25:47 In some ways,
• 04:25:48 Yes, very much so.
• 04:25:51 Great.
• 04:25:52 great gifts abound for those
• 04:25:56 those who know how to listen for them.
• 04:26:05 But she does, she does not elaborate, does not elaborate.

Hazel

• 04:26:09 The world doesn’t hold it.
• 04:26:11 Morality

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:14 I don’t believe I said anything about morality.

Luma

• 04:26:18 Mm-hmm.

Hazel

• 04:26:19 Yes.
• 04:26:20 charitability, not a
• 04:26:22 form of
• 04:26:24 And moral, a moral code.
• 04:26:26 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 04:26:28 Charitability is…
• 04:26:31 a kindness granted.
• 04:26:33 in opposition to the hardship of life.
• 04:26:40 Life itself has charity.
• 04:26:43 to it that is not
• 04:26:45 Moral? No, it simply is.
• 04:26:51 I do think it is moral to alleviate suffering, though, do
• 04:26:54 you not?

Hazel

• 04:26:57 basal nods.
• 04:26:59 I’m
• 04:27:00 curious that
• 04:27:02 What chair do you find is
• 04:27:05 in the world that isn’t
• 04:27:10 But that isn’t normal.

Dungeon Master

• 04:27:14 the charity of silence

Unidentified

• 04:27:18 Hm.

Dungeon Master

• 04:27:21 um,
• 04:27:22 She says as she kind of looks at Hazel and as she says the
• 04:27:25 word silence, the, the kind
• 04:27:27 of like silent tension that otherwise fills the room is
• 04:27:31 broken as the front door opens
• 04:27:33 and a figure walks in dressed in black robes with a, with a
• 04:27:39 hood draped deep over their,
• 04:27:41 their face, obscuring it entirely.
• 04:27:44 Yeah.
• 04:27:44 They walk in
• 04:27:46 walk into the living room.
• 04:27:51 Do not address any of you or say anything.
• 04:27:53 And the robes are very similar to Sister Ashryn’s.
• 04:27:57 And they…
• 04:27:57 And Rhys, this is the person who was with…
• 04:28:00 Rhys and Iva, do you recognize this as the person who was
• 04:28:02 with Sister Ashryn?
• 04:28:04 Walks up the stairs and to the rooms…
• 04:28:08 without missing a beat.

Rhysaene

• 04:28:13 Did I…
• 04:28:17 Look.
• 04:28:18 like
• 04:28:21 Do they have like a small satchel to them, any of them?

Dungeon Master

• 04:28:25 Do they have, sorry, what?

Rhysaene

• 04:28:26 A small stature to them.

Dungeon Master

• 04:28:28 This person’s
• 04:28:30 Seems to be about five and a half.
• 04:28:32 uh,
• 04:28:34 A little taller than that, like maybe 5’7”, which compared
• 04:28:38 to Sister Ashryn at six feet tall is notably smaller, but
• 04:28:42 they’re not unusually small.

Rhysaene

• 04:28:45 Okay.
• 04:28:45 Okay.
• 04:28:46 Yeah, no worries.

Hazel

• 04:28:50 Oh.
• 04:28:52 All silence does.
• 04:28:54 These days invite the sorrow of the wind.

Dungeon Master

• 04:28:58 She looks at Hazel.
• 04:29:02 and looks for a long moment.
• 04:29:06 She says, “What makes you think the two things are not one
• 04:29:09 and the same?”

Luma

• 04:29:17 Mm-hmm.

Iva

• 04:29:21 I thought sorrow was magic.

Dungeon Master

• 04:29:24 I would not say.
• 04:29:26 Oh.
• 04:29:27 truth.
• 04:29:29 Sorrow is a name…
• 04:29:32 given to a phenomenon by man.
• 04:29:35 Uh-huh.
• 04:29:37 But that name is man’s name for something they do not
• 04:29:41 understand.
• 04:29:42 It is not
• 04:29:46 is not inherent to the thing you speak of.

Hazel

• 04:29:53 Oh, man.
• 04:29:53 I wouldn’t call…
• 04:29:56 I would not call the sorrow charity, if that’s what you’re
• 04:29:58 insinuating.

Dungeon Master

• 04:30:00 I’m not insinuating anything. I’m just…
• 04:30:03 Curious about
• 04:30:05 the thoughts of my fellow travelers in this wide world.

Temerity

• 04:30:12 - Just asking questions.

Dungeon Master

• 04:30:14 - Just asking questions, guys.
• 04:30:18 You can’t be mad at me.
• 04:30:19 I haven’t done anything, guys.
• 04:30:22 I’m just talking.

Temerity

• 04:30:25 Temerity is, like, kind of squinting at them now.

Hazel

• 04:30:30 Yeah, she just said that silence was charitable and then
• 04:30:36 fucking…
• 04:30:38 Hazel was like, yeah, but all that silence does is make the
• 04:30:40 sorrow, like, whisper at you.
• 04:30:42 And she’s just like, yeah, isn’t that the same thing?

Temerity

• 04:30:45 Like, okay, lady…
• 04:30:48 Yeah, like they’re just like
• 04:30:50 - Yeah.
• 04:30:51 is just going to hit her with, like,
• 04:30:55 uh,
• 04:30:58 I think you--
• 04:31:00 best watcher words.
• 04:31:01 then
• 04:31:02 if you want to get
• 04:31:03 what you want across

Iva

• 04:31:05 I don’t know if that was the one I would have gone with

Temerity

• 04:31:08 no that’s the one Temerity would go with
• 04:31:10 they’re being a little threatening

Dungeon Master

• 04:31:13 I am
• 04:31:13 I’m sorry, Temerity, it was not my intention to offend you,
• 04:31:17 and if I have, I deeply apologize.
• 04:31:21 um,

Temerity

• 04:31:24 I am no matter.
• 04:31:27 Words carry weight.
• 04:31:30 that they do.

Hazel

• 04:31:35 Hazel.
• 04:31:35 Oh, no, no, not Hazel.
• 04:31:35 Temerity, Temerity, stop.
• 04:31:38 I know…
• 04:31:40 They know who your dad is now.
• 04:31:43 Shut the fuck up.

Dungeon Master

• 04:31:44 Don’t threaten him.
• 04:31:47 Um, I,
• 04:31:48 I could not agree more to Temerity.
• 04:31:52 Words carry weight.
• 04:31:56 Temerity is an odd name to give…
• 04:31:58 to give your child, is it not?

Temerity

• 04:32:01 It wasn’t given.

Dungeon Master

• 04:32:03 No.
• 04:32:04 No, of course not.
• 04:32:06 Um, you, you,
• 04:32:10 you chose it for yourself then.
• 04:32:13 Yes.
• 04:32:15 I think you chose quite well.
• 04:32:18 -

Temerity

• 04:32:25 It’s like, I don’t know how to take that.
• 04:32:33 Thank you.
• 04:32:34 Temerity will take it, take it with a smile.
• 04:32:38 They understand it’s kind of like a derogatory term, sorry.

Luma

• 04:32:42 Let’s go.
• 04:32:44 I think you’re good.

Temerity

• 04:32:47 Oh.
• 04:32:48 Temerity knows it’s like
• 04:32:50 Kind of a little bit derogatorily, it means, like,
• 04:32:55 Almost like boastful or like…
• 04:32:59 Very, uh,
• 04:33:03 confident.
• 04:33:07 Uh-huh.
• 04:33:08 uh,
• 04:33:11 So they say thank you with a smile, just like,
• 04:33:15 uh
• 04:33:16 Oh no, if they meant it as an insult, it obviously didn’t
• 04:33:19 work.

Dungeon Master

• 04:33:20 Uh-huh.
• 04:33:22 - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
• 04:33:24 you know,
• 04:33:25 Maybe.

Temerity

• 04:33:26 Maybe.

Dungeon Master

• 04:33:27 Maybe.

Temerity

• 04:33:28 Maybe.
• 04:33:28 Hmm.

Dungeon Master

• 04:33:30 um,
• 04:33:33 Uh-oh.
• 04:33:35 Luma, you probably finished mapping at this point.
• 04:33:38 You find yourself around the Miller house.
• 04:33:41 the miller’s house.
• 04:33:44 - Sure.
• 04:33:45 You’re welcome to…

Luma

• 04:33:46 Huh?
• 04:33:47 I’ll hit him.

Dungeon Master

• 04:33:49 The door opens again, kind of breaking this, like, mounting
• 04:33:52 tension.
• 04:33:54 Um…
• 04:33:54 This time, though, it’s Luma.
• 04:33:57 Gasp

Luma

• 04:33:59 I saw somebody sneaking around outside.
• 04:34:03 It was kind of weird.

Temerity

• 04:34:05 Oh?

Luma

• 04:34:07 Oh, hello, Luma. Nice to see you again.
• 04:34:11 All right.
• 04:34:13 I have not experienced loss yet.
• 04:34:16 I almost lost 10 gold.
• 04:34:18 but I didn’t.

Dungeon Master

• 04:34:19 - One day.
• 04:34:21 you’ll know what I actually meant when I said that.
• 04:34:25 I sure hope not.
• 04:34:26 hazel browns unfortunately loss is something we all
• 04:34:31 experience

Temerity

• 04:34:34 Yeah.
• 04:34:36 That’s true.
• 04:34:38 um you saw someone sneaking around Luma this is yeah
• 04:34:42 attention has averted

Luma

• 04:34:44 This, like, short girl, she was sneaking around by, uh…
• 04:34:47 this house and she’ll hold up her like
• 04:34:50 afton map and point at the
• 04:34:52 Move.
• 04:34:53 the building that she was at?

Temerity

• 04:34:55 I think Timberty could piece together.
• 04:34:56 That’s the Kemble farm.
• 04:34:59 Uh,
• 04:35:00 They’re like a whole--
• 04:35:02 later.
• 04:35:04 That’s
• 04:35:05 - I love it.
• 04:35:06 laughing

Dungeon Master

• 04:35:09 can’t help herself. She was doing it in the text
• 04:35:11 chat earlier too.

Temerity

• 04:35:12 Ha ha ha ha!
• 04:35:15 I almost did it.
• 04:35:16 Whatever.
• 04:35:18 Let me stumble across her.
• 04:35:21 Um…
• 04:35:21 I don’t know.
• 04:35:24 that’s,
• 04:35:26 That’s Eliza.
• 04:35:26 That’s she’s the youngest of the Kembles.
• 04:35:30 You almost lost 10 gold.
• 04:35:32 Almost lost.
• 04:35:33 Yeah.

Luma

• 04:35:34 Ask me to buy a mapping license.
• 04:35:37 As if I don’t know my licenses and my jurisdictions, I mean
• 04:35:40 , seriously.
• 04:35:41 What the hell?
• 04:35:43 Ha ha.

Temerity

• 04:35:44 What the heck is she doing trying to scam random people?
• 04:35:48 Thank you.
• 04:35:49 She’s not a part of like any mapping.

Luma

• 04:35:54 Oh, yeah, I got that out on an account that she ran into a
• 04:35:57 farm.

Temerity

• 04:35:57 Yeah, no, that’s just her.
• 04:35:59 That’s where she lives.
• 04:36:03 All right, yeah, she mentioned that.
• 04:36:04 Yeah.
• 04:36:19 Um…

Rhysaene

• 04:36:27 What?
• 04:36:32 Why don’t you ask about loss?

Dungeon Master

• 04:36:37 because I think
• 04:36:42 that
• 04:36:44 loss is the universal experience of anything that walks
• 04:36:50 this earth.
• 04:36:52 more than anything else.
• 04:36:55 And so I think it’s the best way to learn about someone.

Unidentified

• 04:37:01 Thank you.

Temerity

• 04:37:04 Huh.

Luma

• 04:37:08 You just gotta wait until you learn about somebody.
• 04:37:12 Doesn’t seem very effective to me.
• 04:37:13 There’s so many other things you can learn about someone
• 04:37:15 first.
• 04:37:17 Thank you.

Dungeon Master

• 04:37:19 um,
• 04:37:21 True, but how much do those things really matter?
• 04:37:24 Hot.
• 04:37:27 chicken on
• 04:37:28 looks at Luma for a moment and says, “If you say so.”

Luma

• 04:37:32 Yeah, I do. That’s what makes it important.
• 04:37:34 Thank you.
• 04:37:35 Pardon to me.

Dungeon Master

• 04:37:37 Well, one day you’ll be dead.

Luma

• 04:37:41 Sure.
• 04:37:42 Then it won’t be important to me anymore.

Dungeon Master

• 04:37:44 Exactly.
• 04:37:48 Everything returns to nothing in the end.

Luma

• 04:37:52 Not true.
• 04:37:54 ’cause I’ll be in my stories.

Dungeon Master

• 04:37:57 As long as there are people to read them.

Luma

• 04:38:01 No, I’ll be on the pages.

Dungeon Master

• 04:38:04 chick.
• 04:38:04 Not shit.
• 04:38:06 She kind of tilts her head a little, like, taken aback.
• 04:38:10 Um,
• 04:38:11 She doesn’t have…
• 04:38:13 a quip for that one.
• 04:38:15 And so her attention moves off of Luma.

Hazel

• 04:38:18 Hazel nods to what Luma is saying.
• 04:38:25 Um,
• 04:38:26 Thank you.
• 04:38:28 uh,
• 04:38:29 and we’ll
• 04:38:31 add that
• 04:38:32 Um,
• 04:38:34 As long as.
• 04:38:38 as long as the life continues to
• 04:38:42 To struggle against the coming sorrow.
• 04:38:48 We’ll all be part of something after we pass.
• 04:38:51 everyone.
• 04:38:52 I’m going to go.
• 04:38:53 Everyone…
• 04:38:54 is a part of a larger cycle than what we understand.

Temerity

• 04:39:01 See?

Dungeon Master

• 04:39:03 Sorry if you’re still going.
• 04:39:06 She stands up and kind of dusts herself off.
• 04:39:08 She picks up her teacup and takes a drink.
• 04:39:11 She picks up her book and holds it close to her chest.
• 04:39:14 And she turns and looks at Hazel.
• 04:39:17 And she says,
• 04:39:18 Life…
• 04:39:21 I don’t know.
• 04:39:21 Bountiful though it may be.
• 04:39:24 is finite.
• 04:39:28 Um,
• 04:39:30 like a lit wick on a lantern eventually,
• 04:39:34 The oil burns low, the wick burns low.
• 04:39:37 The flame goes out.
• 04:39:40 uh,
• 04:39:42 All flames go out. None last forever.
• 04:39:46 I don’t know.
• 04:39:48 Decay and emptiness are the only inevitabilities.
• 04:39:53 and
• 04:39:56 One day, soon, or long, far into the future, all will fall
• 04:40:00 silent.
• 04:40:03 To struggle against that is to invite
• 04:40:07 suffering that is needless.
• 04:40:10 You may not believe me,
• 04:40:12 That’s fine.
• 04:40:14 I have no problem.
• 04:40:16 with those who do not
• 04:40:18 do not agree with me, I think.
• 04:40:22 I think that that is lovely.
• 04:40:25 um,
• 04:40:26 But…
• 04:40:28 I don’t know.
• 04:40:29 “Only one of us will be right in the end,” and she kind of
• 04:40:32 turns and starts heading for the stairs.

Iva

• 04:40:37 - I vote whispers, “Man, this lady is depressing.”

Rhysaene

• 04:40:41 Yeah.

Iva

• 04:40:42 Hit, hit, hit.

Rhysaene

• 04:40:45 Sure are some funny fucking ideas.

Temerity

• 04:40:48 Mm-hmm.
• 04:40:50 I mean, it’s like--

Rhysaene

• 04:40:52 Mm.

Temerity

• 04:40:54 I don’t know what she’s,
• 04:40:58 uh,
• 04:41:00 what she said
• 04:41:01 uh,
• 04:41:02 really struck a chord.
• 04:41:04 and Temerity.
• 04:41:06 Um…

Iva

• 04:41:07 Of all the things I’ve struck according to Temerity, this
• 04:41:10 …
• 04:41:10 This person’s done it.

Temerity

• 04:41:13 Yeah.
• 04:41:15 Temerity’s died.

Luma

• 04:41:21 depressing in 100 years.

Temerity

• 04:41:23 I feel like I’m going to be a little bit more.

Luma

• 04:41:24 uh,
• 04:41:27 Hazel just kind of scuffs.

Hazel

• 04:41:30 uh,
• 04:41:35 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 04:41:36 Hazel do you see why I asked you to come here now?

Hazel

• 04:41:40 Basel nuts.
• 04:41:42 I appreciate you telling me this.
• 04:41:46 regardless.
• 04:41:52 She…
• 04:41:53 and
• 04:41:56 It’s a shame that she had seen so much
• 04:41:59 That she’s seen so much of The Veil and has come out
• 04:42:02 worse for it.
• 04:42:05 Um,

Rhysaene

• 04:42:08 the
• 04:42:11 It is.

Hazel

• 04:42:13 It is, it is.
• 04:42:17 I don’t know.
• 04:42:19 to struggle against the
• 04:42:21 the,
• 04:42:22 The infinite nothingness is
• 04:42:25 to what all life is.
• 04:42:28 And.
• 04:42:30 - Mm-mm.
• 04:42:33 We’ve all made it this far, I suppose.
• 04:42:36 - Lusaro is just another
• 04:42:38 is just another
• 04:42:41 thing.
• 04:42:43 that
• 04:42:44 needs to be overcome.
• 04:42:46 Hazel kind of leaves it at that and

Temerity

• 04:42:49 Hmm.
• 04:42:50 Thank you.

Rhysaene

• 04:42:52 You okay there, Tervy?

Temerity

• 04:42:56 Temerity nods.
• 04:42:59 and just like
• 04:43:02 Unclenches their jaw a bit.
• 04:43:05 Um,
• 04:43:11 And just let’s have a
• 04:43:16 Bit of a sigh.
• 04:43:18 Is like
• 04:43:21 sigh
• 04:43:29 She…

Iva

• 04:43:32 I think Shuchat said
• 04:43:34 She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Temerity

• 04:43:38 Um,
• 04:43:41 Darren Brockes: I agree with the
• 04:43:43 with Hazel, though.
• 04:43:46 and
• 04:43:52 Amen.
• 04:43:52 God.
• 04:43:55 I’m so sorry, y’all.
• 04:43:56 My brain is fried today.
• 04:43:58 Worked with such a big deal.

Dungeon Master

• 04:44:00 It’s almost midnight.
• 04:44:02 Yeah, we’re…
• 04:44:02 We’re coming to a stopping point.

Hazel

• 04:44:06 Hazel screams, “Also, she’s magic!”
• 04:44:09 Yes, definitely.
• 04:44:11 -
• 04:44:12 Cheeto Sage is a familiar, which actually you guys don’t
• 04:44:16 know.

Rhysaene

• 04:44:16 I was going to pat Louber on the head as well
• 04:44:22 Good answers.

Luma

• 04:44:25 Oh, thank you.

Rhysaene

• 04:44:29 you.
• 04:44:30 Oh.
• 04:44:31 Shit, I can’t say that.
• 04:44:33 I’m going to take it literally.
• 04:44:35 Um,
• 04:44:35 it’s,

Luma

• 04:44:36 I can take it not literally if you tell me not to.

Rhysaene

• 04:44:39 Okay, don’t take it literally, but you took the words out
• 04:44:41 of my mouth.

Luma

• 04:44:43 - Oh, those are my words now, ha ha.
• 04:44:46 Yeah.

Unidentified

• 04:44:46 Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 04:44:49 Thank you.
• 04:44:50 Eldritch Blast.

Luma

• 04:44:53 Everyone does say that with a little grin.
• 04:44:57 - Clearly joking.

Dungeon Master

• 04:44:59 Um,
• 04:45:00 laughs
• 04:45:01 Y’all…
• 04:45:02 are able to head out of the Miller’s house
• 04:45:05 and back to the church grounds, to your tent,
• 04:45:09 your tents, your campfire,
• 04:45:13 And the silence of
• 04:45:16 A peaceful night under the stars.

Iva

• 04:45:22 Yippee!
• 04:45:23 Who’s in Iva’s tent with her?

Hazel

• 04:45:26 um oh right i was gonna say i think
• 04:45:30 Yeah.
• 04:45:31 Hazel would probably
• 04:45:32 uh,
• 04:45:34 would
• 04:45:34 probably
• 04:45:37 uh,
• 04:45:39 try to make her own arrangement.
• 04:45:42 uh,
• 04:45:44 Under the tree.
• 04:45:47 Near the near the tents.

Luma

• 04:45:49 on the tree.

Iva

• 04:45:51 Thank you.
• 04:45:53 Under the tree.
• 04:45:55 Thank you.

Hazel

• 04:45:56 probably a little last minute but she would still do it

Dungeon Master

• 04:45:59 yeah easy enough
• 04:46:01 you’ve camped in the woods hundreds of times
• 04:46:03 no problem

Hazel

• 04:46:05 And she’s just going to keep…
• 04:46:09 Except for, like, during the, like…
• 04:46:12 during the time where obviously she needs to like
• 04:46:14 trance and rest.
• 04:46:17 She’s just keeping her ears peeled.
• 04:46:23 Because first off, she doesn’t trust those fucking people
• 04:46:26 that we just met.
• 04:46:26 And second off, she’s like…
• 04:46:29 I need to make sure that like
• 04:46:31 To her, she was hearing the situation with the sorrow got
• 04:46:34 worse, so now that they’re like nearing the edge, she’s
• 04:46:37 just like, “I need to be on alert mode.”

Luma

• 04:46:44 Putting an alarm spell in front of the church and around
• 04:46:48 the little camp area.

Dungeon Master

• 04:46:49 Yeah.
• 04:46:51 easy, easy to do.
• 04:46:53 My goat!
• 04:46:55 does anyone else have anything
• 04:46:58 have anything
• 04:47:00 No.

Rhysaene

• 04:47:02 Bye.
• 04:47:03 I think Rhys is going to spend like…
• 04:47:06 the last bits of the evening
• 04:47:10 Uh, trying to paint.

Dungeon Master

• 04:47:12 Yeah.
• 04:47:13 paint by campfire light.

Rhysaene

• 04:47:15 Yeah.
• 04:47:17 Amen.
• 04:47:18 And I think she is going to have one hand on her.
• 04:47:23 like over her chest.
• 04:47:24 I’m a she…
• 04:47:25 if he does it.

Dungeon Master

• 04:47:27 Um,
• 04:47:29 risks you
• 04:47:32 go into like that art artistic mindset you start painting
• 04:47:35 by the light of the by the light of the
• 04:47:38 fire and the stars and the perpetual crescent moon that’s
• 04:47:41 hanging high in the sky tonight
• 04:47:45 bathing your
• 04:47:48 you’re painting in cold,
• 04:47:51 Cold silver blue light of the moon splashing with the
• 04:47:56 dancing light of the fire.
• 04:47:58 um,
• 04:47:59 and your heart beats just a little faster.

Luma

• 04:48:08 Mm-hmm.

Rhysaene

• 04:48:11 What do you paint?
• 04:48:16 I think…
• 04:48:22 - I think she’s gonna paint “Family.”

Temerity

• 04:48:25 Yeah.
• 04:48:26 Did you?
• 04:48:27 Oh

Rhysaene

• 04:48:30 nice.
• 04:48:32 And I think she’s going to do a little
• 04:48:34 Doodle of Temerity smiling.

Dungeon Master

• 04:48:37 Nice.
• 04:48:41 Uhm, anyone anyone else any?
• 04:48:44 anything before you all drift off to sleep or meditate or
• 04:48:47 whatever you do.

Hazel

• 04:48:50 Yeah, he’s got a door.
• 04:48:52 face is going to
• 04:48:54 do her nightly ritual of
• 04:48:58 of of of
• 04:48:59 looking up at the moon.
• 04:49:01 and staring at it a bit too long
• 04:49:04 until it gets a little too uncomfortable.

Dungeon Master

• 04:49:07 You do it.
• 04:49:09 Yeah.
• 04:49:10 And, um,
• 04:49:11 And if that’s everything,
• 04:49:12 One last thing.
• 04:49:14 Who wants an ominous dream?
• 04:49:17 - Am I coming across at all?
• 04:49:20 You said yes when you said, am I coming across at all?
• 04:49:23 - Great, cool.
• 04:49:23 - Did I miss something?

Luma

• 04:49:25 Yeah.
• 04:49:27 What’s up?
• 04:49:28 No.
• 04:49:29 An hour into Rhys’s drawing, there’s an ink explosion in L
• 04:49:33 uma’s tent.
• 04:49:34 Woof!
• 04:49:36 There’s England everywhere.
• 04:49:39 And the quiet sounds of like scrubbing.
• 04:49:41 .

Dungeon Master

• 04:49:43 What the s*** is he doing?
• 04:49:48 Damn it.
• 04:49:50 You’ll get it eventually.
• 04:49:51 Totally.
• 04:49:52 -
• 04:49:54 um,
• 04:49:56 Who was all the clamor for in Amma’s Dream?
• 04:49:58 Was that Olivia saying, me, me, me?

Iva

• 04:50:00 No, and Bruce.

Temerity

• 04:50:03 Yeah, I was saying me, me, me.
• 04:50:05 And Bruce also said, me, me, me.

Dungeon Master

• 04:50:07 Okay, well, unfortunately for Bruce, he’s the only one that
• 04:50:09 I would have trouble doing.
• 04:50:12 Um,
• 04:50:14 And I heard the me, me, me from Olivia.
• 04:50:16 Um,
• 04:50:17 Everyone goes off to sleep or to meditate, depending on the
• 04:50:22 preference of the
• 04:50:22 elves, since elves can do either.
• 04:50:25 Um,
• 04:50:29 Temerity.
• 04:50:32 Yeah.
• 04:50:33 you stand…
• 04:50:37 in the grounds of the church.
• 04:50:39 Like where you…
• 04:50:42 were when you were awake just
• 04:50:44 hours before
• 04:50:47 But there are no tents, there are no campfires.
• 04:50:51 Um,
• 04:50:52 There’s no house behind the church.
• 04:50:56 Um,
• 04:50:57 There’s no buildings to the left or right, north or south.
• 04:51:02 There’s no fence.
• 04:51:03 It’s just the church and the tree and the well.
• 04:51:07 Um,
• 04:51:09 and you standing behind the church
• 04:51:11 In the dark.
• 04:51:12 There’s no moon, there’s no stars.
• 04:51:14 It’s just you and the church and the tree
• 04:51:16 and the well and the dirt.
• 04:51:18 and the grass.
• 04:51:19 and a bright light.
• 04:51:22 flashing in front of the church, silver white.

Temerity

• 04:51:28 Um,
• 04:51:29 Hmm.
• 04:51:30 Temerity is going to--
• 04:51:32 move
• 04:51:35 to the front of the church.

Dungeon Master

• 04:51:38 you move to the front of the church and each step you take
• 04:51:42 that
• 04:51:42 brilliant flashing silver-white light gets a little bit dim
• 04:51:46 mer.
• 04:51:46 and a little bit dimmer.
• 04:51:47 and
• 04:51:49 your footsteps like take a little bit longer.
• 04:51:51 Like you’re trudging through like mud or like slime,
• 04:51:55 but there’s not any, it’s just like,
• 04:51:58 You’re not trudging through anything, but you’re slow,
• 04:52:01 slower than you should be.

Temerity

• 04:52:04 And each step the light gets…
• 04:52:06 He’s trying to like compensate for it, like…
• 04:52:09 she’s
• 04:52:10 They’re trying to push through.

Dungeon Master

• 04:52:14 um,
• 04:52:16 you push through and you eventually get around and you get
• 04:52:19 around right as
• 04:52:21 The light fades.
• 04:52:23 Um,
• 04:52:25 into darkness.
• 04:52:29 not so dark that you can’t see sitting on the foot
• 04:52:34 Um,
• 04:52:35 …of the church, in front of the church, a small…
• 04:52:44 Horned Baby.
• 04:52:46 Dusky skin.
• 04:52:48 um,
• 04:52:51 faint licks of silvery white, cool white flame,
• 04:52:58 fading from this child
• 04:53:01 scorch marks surrounding them.
• 04:53:04 across the ground.
• 04:53:09 you can’t help but turn around and look up
• 04:53:12 at the sky
• 04:53:14 And in the moment it doesn’t occur to you, but when you
• 04:53:18 wake at might you’re looking in the direction of Argentum
• 04:53:21 and a single star.
• 04:53:24 shining above that city
• 04:53:27 in that direction and almost like a voice
• 04:53:31 Um,
• 04:53:32 at the back of your mind, in the back of your memory, soft,
• 04:53:37 um,
• 04:53:38 soft as
• 04:53:40 Feathers stern as…
• 04:53:43 Iron.
• 04:53:44 um,
• 04:53:48 Seek the flame, my child, be the light, and you wake up.

Unidentified

• 04:53:54 Huh.
• 04:53:54 Yeah.

Temerity

• 04:53:56 Seek the blue and be the light.
• 04:53:56 Holy shit.
• 04:53:58 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Luma

• 04:54:01 Oh, man.
• 04:54:02 I’m sure this is going to help with Temerity’s audacity.
• 04:54:10 Oh, my God.
• 04:54:12 I’m a special little boy.
• 04:54:15 laughter

Temerity

• 04:54:18 That’s me!

Dungeon Master

• 04:54:18 That’s me!
• 04:54:21 I am! I am!
• 04:54:23 I’m the chosen one!
• 04:54:25 I’m fantasy Jesus!

Temerity

• 04:54:28 I can’t wait for all of this
• 04:54:29 to come crashing down.
• 04:54:30 Oh, I can’t.
• 04:54:36 - No.
• 04:54:37 - Fuck, okay.
• 04:54:40 To be continued, or is that where you wanted to end session
• 04:54:42 , Kat?

Dungeon Master

• 04:54:42 Oh, no, that’s where we end session.

Temerity

• 04:54:44 All right.

Dungeon Master

• 04:54:47 People pick up in the morning.
• 04:54:50 Next session.
• 04:54:51 In a week.

Luma

• 04:54:53 You heard it here first.
• 04:54:54 It’s next session, tomorrow morning.

Dungeon Master

• 04:54:56 True.
• 04:54:56 The next session, tomorrow morning.

Luma

• 04:55:00 6 a.m.
• 04:55:01 Sure.

Dungeon Master

• 04:55:01 Going to end every session with who wants an ominous dream.
• 04:55:05 That’d be awesome.

Rhysaene

• 04:55:07 I will take another dream.
• 04:55:10 next week.

Dungeon Master

• 04:55:11 You can dream.
• 04:55:12 It would be weird as fuck for Luma, because, like, you know
• 04:55:16 , but…

Luma

• 04:55:17 What the fuck is happening to me?

Iva

• 04:55:19 I apparently don’t get ominous dreams
• 04:55:22 I’m too not magical
• 04:55:24 You two not magical, I’m sorry.

Temerity

• 04:55:28 That was a sick-ass stream.
• 04:55:30 Oh, yeah.
• 04:55:32 Fuck, what color should I write that in?
• 04:55:36 silver.
• 04:55:37 Silver? Oh, that’d be such a pain to read, but that’d be
• 04:55:42 sick.
• 04:55:42 Mm-hmm.
• 04:55:43 I’ll do it in purple.
• 04:55:44 Woo!
• 04:55:45 that’s a good ominous dream color

Luma

• 04:55:47 ominous dream color
• 04:55:54 I will be right back one second.

Temerity

• 04:55:56 Alrighty.

Luma

• 04:55:58 We survived, nobody died.

Temerity

• 04:56:00 True.
• 04:56:01 uh
• 04:56:02 Thank y’all.
• 04:56:02 Thank y’all for playing.
• 04:56:04 Yeah.
• 04:56:06 God, who the fuck was that called, bitch?
• 04:56:08 I don’t know.
• 04:56:10 I need to know.
• 04:56:11 This is a nihilist.

Luma

• 04:56:14 - Probably.

Temerity

• 04:56:15 She’s absolutely a spell caster, fucking cultist, gonna
• 04:56:21 bring back the sorrow.

Rhysaene

• 04:56:23 she was like
• 04:56:25 how do you feel about loss
• 04:56:29 and then
• 04:56:29 Like…
• 04:56:32 She was talking some crazy stuff.
• 04:56:36 Limit don’t accidentally get involved in a cult, please.

Luma

• 04:56:40 Luma would be the one to actually get
• 04:56:42 inducted into the world. The funny thing is, though, is
• 04:56:45 like
• 04:56:45 Luma’s had death in the family.
• 04:56:46 She just doesn’t consider that loss.
• 04:56:48 Yeah.
• 04:56:49 Yeah, yeah.
• 04:56:53 There’s a lot of shit.

Unidentified

• 04:56:57 Mm-hmm.

Rhysaene

• 04:56:59 No, because it was really, it’s why I wanted Rhys to pat her
• 04:57:03 on the head because she was like, no, I don’t.
• 04:57:06 you were gonna, you gave the same answers as me.

Luma

• 04:57:09 - Yay.
• 04:57:13 It’s funny because I think…
• 04:57:15 Luma has that whole thing about, like,
• 04:57:17 people are preserved in the writings that, like,
• 04:57:21 come after them or whatever so
• 04:57:23 their whole thing is like,
• 04:57:24 They’re gone until nobody remembers them.
• 04:57:24 He’s like, no, I’m in a book.
• 04:57:27 There’s an entire generation of people who went missing and
• 04:57:32 nobody remembers, but they still existed and they’re still
• 04:57:34 written somewhere. You just gotta find them.
• 04:57:36 Uh-huh.

Dungeon Master

• 04:57:39 I’m back.

Temerity

• 04:57:40 I’m also back.
• 04:57:44 It will work.
• 04:57:45 Thank you for running session, Kat.

Luma

• 04:57:48 Yeah, thank you.
• 04:57:49 Yeah, that was awesome.

Temerity

• 04:57:50 Uh-huh.
• 04:57:52 Uh,

Luma

• 04:57:53 We went from one heavy conversation pre-session to one
• 04:57:56 heavy fucking session
• 04:57:58 you

Dungeon Master

• 04:58:03 What are you talking about?
• 04:58:03 You had like a nice camp out with a dinner with like a nice
• 04:58:08 old man.
• 04:58:08 It was all very wholesome and none of it was weird or omin
• 04:58:12 ous.

Luma

• 04:58:12 Yeah, I got a nice meal.
• 04:58:15 I got almost scammed.
• 04:58:18 It was great.
• 04:58:18 Okay.
• 04:58:21 Loom’s got no troubles.
• 04:58:21 Everybody else is tweaking about the Nihilist.
• 04:58:24 Loom’s got no troubles.
• 04:58:26 uncomplicated
• 04:58:28 staying in her damn lane

Hazel

• 04:58:29 It’s…
• 04:58:32 It’s part two of
• 04:58:34 cat utilizing weaponized
• 04:58:36 nihilism as uh i love weaponized nihilism and we really

Luma

• 04:58:41 need to get cat to play endwalker

Dungeon Master

• 04:58:44 I mean, all of Endwalker
• 04:58:46 is important.
• 04:58:49 weaponised play with them.
• 04:58:52 Um,
• 04:58:52 So how do you guys like the Nihilism cult? Yay!

Luma

• 04:58:58 I cannot wait for a little bit to accidentally end up in
• 04:59:00 the nihilism cult.
• 04:59:01 Thank you.
• 04:59:03 That’d be hilarious.

Iva

• 04:59:05 I talked to my secrets chat with…
• 04:59:08 hat.
• 04:59:10 I wish to get pipelined into the…
• 04:59:14 I wish to…

Dungeon Master

• 04:59:16 Colt.
• 04:59:18 I think it would be funniest if Temerity was.
• 04:59:21 If Temerity,
• 04:59:23 if, like,
• 04:59:24 Man, maybe I’ll do it because I’m evil.
• 04:59:26 The second Temerity gets disillusioned with the church,
• 04:59:30 be like, hey…
• 04:59:31 the nihilism cult’s pretty awesome.
• 04:59:34 It’s really funny, though, because it’s just like what

Luma

• 04:59:37 comes up…
• 04:59:37 what comes after death?
• 04:59:37 Nothing.
• 04:59:39 Demendi’s like,
• 04:59:39 uh,
• 04:59:40 literally I just come back.
• 04:59:42 Like,
• 04:59:42 immune to the nihilism
• 04:59:45 what do you mean what comes after
• 04:59:49 I wake back up
• 04:59:50 what the fuck

Dungeon Master

• 04:59:52 Tomorrow.
• 04:59:53 I think you should tell more people that.
• 04:59:55 I think that would go really, really well.

Hazel

• 04:59:57 Hazel’s going to out-nihilism the nihilist cult.
• 05:00:00 They’re like, what comes after death?
• 05:00:01 Nothing.
• 05:00:02 And Hazel’s like, yeah, and I don’t care.

Temerity

• 05:00:07 Temerity, it’s like, no, it’s not just nothing.

Iva

• 05:00:12 - I’ve never thought about that before.
• 05:00:16 Uh…

Hazel

• 05:00:19 Hazel’s just like slut of it’s nothing after death.

Iva

• 05:00:22 Back to that
• 05:00:23 Back to that nothing ever bad happens to the Kwanos.

Luma

• 05:00:29 Has anything good happened to them yet?

Dungeon Master

• 05:00:32 Yeah, Anthusa’s getting laid tonight.
• 05:00:35 What do you mean?

Luma

• 05:00:38 98-year-old
• 05:00:39 dude.

Iva

• 05:00:42 He’s got experience.
• 05:00:45 Anthusa
• 05:00:45 had a happy life raising
• 05:00:47 a child until she, you know,

Luma

• 05:00:51 Can he remember the experience or is he too old?
• 05:00:54 Has the dementia started yet?
• 05:00:55 No, not yet.

Dungeon Master

• 05:00:57 He doesn’t have dementia.
• 05:00:59 And of all the mean things I’m going to do to Olivia in
• 05:01:02 this campaign,
• 05:01:03 giving Father Emberthumb dementia is not one of them.
• 05:01:06 Yeah.

Luma

• 05:01:07 I mean, that would probably be worse than anything you
• 05:01:11 could probably do to Father Emberthumb.
• 05:01:13 I think death would be preferable to force him to go
• 05:01:16 through a dementia arc.

Hazel

• 05:01:18 That’s what the lonely sorrow does to you.

Temerity

• 05:01:20 I do also want to point out, yeah.
• 05:01:22 In real life, I don’t want to deal with it in fantasy.
• 05:01:25 Yeah, I’m good.

Dungeon Master

• 05:01:26 That is very much a thing of the sorrow.
• 05:01:29 I’m still not doing it to Father Emrah.
• 05:01:32 - Yeah.

Rhysaene

• 05:01:34 to listen.
• 05:01:36 People, Amber is…

Temerity

• 05:01:39 -

Rhysaene

• 05:01:41 He’s got it going on.

Dungeon Master

• 05:01:43 I believed
• 05:01:45 The official title would be Daddy Amber is.
• 05:01:49 No!

Temerity

• 05:01:49 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 05:01:50 No!
• 05:01:53 Oh, man.

Rhysaene

• 05:01:57 It’s going to be…

Hazel

• 05:01:58 Dove.
• 05:01:59 Sorry. Actually, go ahead.

Rhysaene

• 05:01:59 No, I was going to say I’m like sick of what is yes right
• 05:02:05 now.
• 05:02:05 Tchoo, tchoo, tchoo.

Hazel

• 05:02:07 It would be so funny seeing the dichotomy of Temerity’s
• 05:02:12 lovely return home
• 05:02:14 uh,
• 05:02:15 To Hazel returning home.
• 05:02:19 Hazel returning home is just going to feel like a business
• 05:02:21 transaction.

Unidentified

• 05:02:24 Yeah.
• 05:02:24 Yeah.

Temerity

• 05:02:27 uh,
• 05:02:28 - It’s gonna, it’s gonna
• 05:02:31 It’s going to make Temerity view Hazel in a much different
• 05:02:37 light.
• 05:02:37 18.

Luma

• 05:02:38 I was going to get sidewinded by them being like generally
• 05:02:41 glad that,
• 05:02:41 that she made it back alive and is not going to know how to
• 05:02:45 handle that.
• 05:02:45 Hmm.

Hazel

• 05:02:49 Tee tee tee tee tee
• 05:02:50 Well, they’re nice, they’re just not affectionate.
• 05:02:54 Well…
• 05:02:56 one specifically isn’t i imagine
• 05:02:59 relationship with their other sisters might be a little bit
• 05:03:03 nicer.
• 05:03:03 But like,
• 05:03:04 Specifically like her headmistress, like, yeah, yeah, she
• 05:03:08 knows her headmistress cares about her, but like also…
• 05:03:12 like,
• 05:03:14 Tick,ick,ick,ick.
• 05:03:15 She’s teacher first, guardian second, and mother never.

Iva

• 05:03:28 Boy.

Temerity

• 05:03:31 God, and then the…

Unidentified

• 05:03:34 Thank you.

Temerity

• 05:03:37 And that’s going to be a…

Luma

• 05:03:39 Sorry.

Rhysaene

• 05:03:40 No, you’re good. Sorry.
• 05:03:41 No.

Temerity

• 05:03:46 It’s going to be very interesting getting to meet the coven

Hazel

• 05:03:49 - Yeah, I’m curious.
• 05:03:52 I imagine it’s gonna be very,
• 05:03:54 It’s a good thing that you put that fucking lantern away,
• 05:03:56 by the way.
• 05:03:57 Yeah.

Temerity

• 05:03:58 I’m so mad at Iva a little bit.

Dungeon Master

• 05:04:04 I want to say, I am so thoroughly shocked that…
• 05:04:08 I was shocked enough that you were openly carrying the
• 05:04:11 lantern.
• 05:04:11 That seems, like, wild to me.
• 05:04:13 That you used your name when asked is insane to me.

Temerity

• 05:04:18 That’s insane.
• 05:04:20 They know where we’re heading.
• 05:04:22 They know who you’re with.
• 05:04:25 They see your mom.

Hazel

• 05:04:29 What?
• 05:04:29 How the f-
• 05:04:29 You got carried-
• 05:04:31 I was getting carried by the shape-shifting.
• 05:04:34 Oh, my God.

Temerity

• 05:04:35 Oh, absolutely.
• 05:04:37 Oh, yeah.
• 05:04:37 no Temerity is so mad about iva but also there is literally
• 05:04:42 no point in like over stressing about it
• 05:04:45 it’s either going to go bad or it’s not so Temerity is like
• 05:04:49 locked
• 05:04:49 like already compartmentalized it.
• 05:04:51 It’s like, I’m just getting mad at Iva right now.

Dungeon Master

• 05:04:53 I’m starting to realize what the Iva, like…
• 05:04:57 the Iva thing during this campaign will be,
• 05:05:01 it’s going to be Bruce complaining that Iva is like,
• 05:05:04 like, fucking gun to the head constantly.
• 05:05:07 Meanwhile, every time
• 05:05:08 there’s a way to, like, relieve
• 05:05:10 the pressure a little, Bruce will
• 05:05:12 add a new, worse version of the
• 05:05:14 exact same pressure to Iva.

Temerity

• 05:05:16 Yeah, Bruce is really having
• 05:05:18 a, like, Iva has a gun
• 05:05:20 to her head, and then Bruce
• 05:05:22 is cocking another one.
• 05:05:24 Yeah.

Luma

• 05:05:25 Putting another gun in Iva’s hand, who is then aiming it at
• 05:05:28 her head.
• 05:05:28 I’m like, why do I have two guns in my hand?
• 05:05:30 I don’t know.
• 05:05:32 And here you go, another gun.
• 05:05:34 Here you go, another gun.

Dungeon Master

• 05:05:37 It’s like, okay, we have the failed forgery check over Iva
• 05:05:41 ’s head.
• 05:05:42 We can, that will come up eventually, but we can get past
• 05:05:45 that.
• 05:05:45 Okay, we’ve shown Miles Quickstep our true face and also
• 05:05:50 like me handing a kid to that guy.
• 05:05:53 Okay, we can get over that.
• 05:05:55 Okay, we’ve made contact with the head of the Thieves’
• 05:05:58 Guild
• 05:05:58 and he knows my secret.
• 05:06:00 Okay, that’s a gun over my head also.
• 05:06:02 We could get through that.
• 05:06:03 Okay, okay.
• 05:06:04 We’re fucking out in the fucking wild.
• 05:06:07 I’m just going to tell these guys my name.
• 05:06:10 hehehehe

Unidentified

• 05:06:12 I don’t know.
• 05:06:13 Yeah.

Temerity

• 05:06:15 The only thing that Temerity is hoping
• 05:06:18 comes of this is that
• 05:06:20 They just are so busy with something else that they forget
• 05:06:24 about us because there’s a kind of normal interaction.

Dungeon Master

• 05:06:27 Yeah, it wasn’t a crazy interaction and they were in a
• 05:06:32 hurry.
• 05:06:32 So, so, so…

Luma

• 05:06:34 I ever use the last name either didn’t say either.
• 05:06:37 So yeah, that identity is burnt.
• 05:06:40 And

Iva

• 05:06:41 Iva very clearly was like, oh, well,
• 05:06:44 If they’re going to ask, they’re going to ask about Iva.
• 05:06:47 Yeah, they’re going to be like, oh, they went to Crick’s Bend.
• 05:06:49 What’s going to happen is they’ll go to Crick’s Bend,
• 05:06:52 ask where they’re going.
• 05:06:54 I don’t think we’ve told Father Ember so much.

Hazel

• 05:06:57 Yeah, no, but there’s only one road out of town.
• 05:07:00 And then there’s only one place north of…
• 05:07:06 I won’t be in either of those places.
• 05:07:10 Yeah, but you understand that your mom is in those places,
• 05:07:13 though.
• 05:07:13 And like,
• 05:07:14 Yeah.
• 05:07:15 This is the whole reason we’re coming out here is for her.

Dungeon Master

• 05:07:18 It’s okay.
• 05:07:18 It’s okay because Anthusa knows to change her damn name
• 05:07:22 when she goes into hiding.

Hazel

• 05:07:24 true we gotta come up with a new witch with a with a new
• 05:07:27 magic lady for her to fit the to fit the

Iva

• 05:07:30 coven theme yes she gotta get a witch name i gotta go look
• 05:07:35 up other fucking greek greek mythology
• 05:07:40 No, Anthusa was named after a saint

Temerity

• 05:07:43 Well, the witch name would be a…

Iva

• 05:07:46 - Yeah, Greek.

Rhysaene

• 05:07:49 Oh.
• 05:07:49 Okay. Oh.
• 05:07:50 It’s very late for me.
• 05:07:50 I must keep going.
• 05:07:52 It was lovely to see you all again.

Temerity

• 05:07:55 Bye-bye.
• 05:07:55 Bye-bye.

Rhysaene

• 05:07:56 Bye-bye.

Temerity

• 05:07:57 Yeah, good night, y’all.

Hazel

• 05:08:00 Bye-bye.
• 05:08:01 - Goodnight, Mary.

Luma

• 05:08:04 - Bye.
• 05:08:05 Add a little limb, maybe.
• 05:08:07 Hmm.
• 05:08:08 After the Magdalene.

Dungeon Master

• 05:08:10 After Temerity?

Iva

• 05:08:11 Hmm.

Luma

• 05:08:12 Mm-hmm.
• 05:08:14 Oh, yeah.
• 05:08:16 Just now learn that Temerity is a word.
• 05:08:18 - Yeah.
• 05:08:20 No idea, had no idea.
• 05:08:22 But

Iva

• 05:08:25 really funny. No, I was playing the game
• 05:08:28 of…
• 05:08:30 It’s all going to work out because…
• 05:08:32 There’s no way it shouldn’t work out.

Luma

• 05:08:35 Everybody was talking about, like, how their characters’
• 05:08:37 names were, like, related to actual things and that it
• 05:08:40 would be a spoiler to know them, so I decided not to Google
• 05:08:42 anybody’s name, just in case.
• 05:08:44 Yeah.

Hazel

• 05:08:45 Mm-hmm.
• 05:08:46 Nah, Hazel’s name is just Hazel.

Luma

• 05:08:48 No, it’s specifically

Hazel

• 05:08:50 just Bruce.

Luma

• 05:08:53 No, Mariah said something about the witches all being
• 05:08:56 themed and obvious or some shit.

Dungeon Master

• 05:08:59 They’re like vaguely, like the names are all like Greek
• 05:09:03 mythology names, but it’s not…
• 05:09:08 That’s not a spoiler.
• 05:09:10 Yeah, that’s just they have very witchy names.

Iva

• 05:09:14 I was a spoiler because I literally picked a spy.

Dungeon Master

• 05:09:17 - Yours was literally a spoiler.
• 05:09:20 You named your character after a very real person.

Luma

• 05:09:23 The hit.
• 05:09:24 ironically the spy part
• 05:09:26 wouldn’t have really
• 05:09:27 tipped anything off
• 05:09:27 to be the change
• 05:09:28 like we already knew
• 05:09:29 that you were a spy
• 05:09:30 adjacent with the
• 05:09:31 fucking turners
• 05:09:32 and get session one

Iva

• 05:09:34 That’s fair.

Luma

• 05:09:36 Mm-hmm.
• 05:09:38 Yeah.
• 05:09:40 25 minutes into session one.

Iva

• 05:09:43 well i originally i didn’t know how deep that was how quick
• 05:09:48 that was gonna go

Hazel

• 05:09:50 Hee hee hee.
• 05:09:51 No, it’s good. It’s good.
• 05:09:53 Things move fast in the Silver Vale, kid.

Luma

• 05:09:55 I like everybody’s…
• 05:09:57 I’m really excited for Luma’s ink shit.
• 05:10:02 Yeah, that shit’s cool.
• 05:10:02 Oh, yeah, true.

Dungeon Master

• 05:10:03 You got your new toy.

Luma

• 05:10:05 Yeah.

Dungeon Master

• 05:10:07 .
