Input:
your stories ever talk about what would happen if The One Who Sleeps were to wake? He looks over at Dono, who's wide-eyed, listening to all of this, and goes, "Most folks that live outside of Kreviris, they live simple lives with simple interests and simple beliefs. Uh, at a certain point, the complication becomes a challenging decision point. It's easier to just ignore it and go with what feels right and natural. That ignorance is comfortable. But the belief is that these dreams are promises. That one day, we'd all be able to step away from this harsh land and step over to where the Dreamers are."

(exhales heavily)
I want you to be able to do that. Not in the afterlife, but in this one. There's a path. It goes both ways.

I worry if most of our folk are even ready for such a transition. Maybe there's some who are, but we've got some sociological challenges here on our home world.

It would be a strange awakening for folks back where we come from, to know about all this.

Well, we've seen a lot of what you all seem to be dreaming of. The colors and spellbinding majesties that surround you, the endless rolling mountain-scapes and winding river-falls. So much wanton bloodshed. To be honest, I'm not certain it's all that's been promised to us either, but I also can't deny that I have a distinct curiosity, so.

Well, it's not all bad. Fiona will start growing, over the next 30 seconds or so, different blooms that are specific, any colors that I have not seen present on this world or in this room that would seem rare or unusual to Barthie, and I'll start laying them on the ground in front of them.

Maeve gets out a handful of ball bearings, puts those on the ground, too.

(metallic clanging and rolling)
Yeah, those are very rare.

The floor isn't level here.

Of all the things you were going to pull out of your pocket, that was so low on my list of possibilities.

Telekinetically pulling the ball bearings back together so they form a little pile.

Like a magnet.

Yeah.

As we were traveling in, we noticed that this area seems to have a fair amount of agriculture. Looks like you're working the land and livestock. What are those bloody buffalo called?

Wuukors.

Wuukors! Can I ask what you produce here and what the Reiloran want with it?

Well, we're one of a number of outposts, you could call them, once sovereign villages that are part of the Imperium and have been for generations. We are capable and well-versed in turning the land into livable space. We gather materials that are edible. We train beasts and use them for their meat, their hides, their milk, use them to carry and build. We have a special connection with many beasts of the land here, in some ways, ones the Reilorans do not, so we're useful.

You were impressed by the, you said juggernaut's head that came out of our bag. How copacetic are things between you and the Reiloran who are here?

Well, many of us do what we've always done and don't want to cause any sort of trouble. So, there's many that are friends, many who are just trying to get by like the rest of us. Then there are those that come over

Better, eight, 20 points of damage. 20 points of damage. Slick. Coming back down for another hit. Oh my god. So we're talking our way out of this, right? Yep. (laughter) 19. 19 hits. It's going to knock out, not kill. In space, no one can hear you talk. (laughter) Don't like that roll. I have to stick with it. That's seven, 19 points of damage. Jeez. Ooh-ooh. All righty. Then, I have a little bit of movement left. I am going to, let's see, that's the wrong one. I'm going to try and back off about, three, about 15 feet, if I can get 15 more feet back. 15 more feet. Yeah. Back this way? Okay, so you get right there. I'm going to get right there. Wait, yeah, I'm going to get right there so that I'm kind of-- Oh no! I'm going to make it a little harder for them to get Maeve out of the house. Okay. I'm taking a defensive stance. You got it. Okay, that finishes your go. Yeah. All right. It is now the Willmaster's go. Top of the Willmaster's turn, Willmaster, taking a bunch of hits, angrily falling to the ground and like, "(snarling)" and you see this dark red, purple blood (splashing) onto the front of its robes and outfit. He's going to get pulled 10 feet towards me so, because it's the start of his turn and I've got the Gravity up. Right, does he make a save against it or just-- I think it's you just, within 15 feet. There might be a save, I might have fucked it up. Carry on in the meantime, sorry. No worries. There we go. I can find it fast now. Yeah, there's a, start their turn, 15 feet towards you. Okay.

Input: who's the biggest threat in the Crown Keepers? Oh shit. Probably-- What do you mean, threat? What do you mean? Like who can do the most damage? What do you think I mean? Aimee thinks this is not a question I want to answer. Uh, (laughs). What do I think I mean? Opal is probably the most scared of Fy'ra Rai. I need you to make a series of attacks against Fy'ra Rai. No. No! (laughter). Oh no! (laughter). Wait, before I do that, can I cast a ritual? Can I Telepathic Bond? Uh, for the sake of your guys' walking through the woods, you would have ritually cast Rary's Telepathic Bond at the beginning of the day. Okay. So you are all connected in a telepathic group chat. Oh! Gotcha. Oh, cool. Dope. Okay. But Opal isn't picking up. True Opal isn't picking up just yet. So what comes now simply comes. Okay, so not of my own volition? Nope! Okay. (sighs). Okay, I'm going to have to Hexblade's Curse her first. (laughs). I'm sorry. Yeah! I love you, baby. I love you, baby. (laughs). I know it ain't you. Pull no punches! None. I know it ain't you. It's okay. I'm so sorry. Let me be so clear. It's okay. Aimee Carrero, love of my life. If you pull a punch-- I'm not. I will know. And I'll make it worse. (laughs). Oh! So you don't want me to Charm her? Woo! (laughter). Okay! So I need you to swing. I love it. Okay. All right, cool. I'm going to be a big girl about this, and I'm going to-- Let's go. -- throw three beams of Eldritch Blast. So first off, before you attack-- Wait, wait. What does it feel like when you Hexblade Curse Fy'ra Rai? What does she feel? What does she see? What is the group suddenly made aware of? Well, I think to Opal, it feels like when you need to throw up, but you really don't want to, in this case. Aw! It's that feeling of-- dread, like: Oh no! That: Please help me, someone hold my hair back! (laughs). It doesn't usually feel that way to her, but in this case, because she's a friend, it does. But I think what she sees is whatever Mask of Many Faces, pretty Opal is dropped. Yeah. It's a very quick look, dart of the eye, and her eyes are just black. (exhales). It probably feels like a hand around the throat, but it's pink. (laughter). Pink hands feel so different. Fy'ra Rai-- (laughs). You feel that grab around your throat, and you look to your friend, and you see Opal, a crown, and then a pink crown below it, eyes dripping black, a set of arms reaching out, a second set of arms reaching down. Make your attacks. Real quick, what does Hexblade's Curse do? "Once per short rest, "choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. "Curse for one minute, plus five to damage rolls. "Critical hit on 19 or 20 "and I regain 18 hit points if you die." Which you won't. (laughs).

Input: But yeah, sorry to say. So you start reviewing things? Yeah, yeah. When did you get addicted? Was it like immediately or like? Like after two months, I started eating at more places. So do you like go out on purpose to look for new places or do you kind of just like wait till a new place pops up? Well, I get tired of eating the same food a lot. Yeah. So when my husband asks me, "Where do you wanna eat?" I'll be like, "Can we go somewhere new?" I just want like that stimulation, that excitement. I hate it 'cause I never used to be like that. And then I moved to Japan and then I'm just like, "I wanna eat something different every day." Thank you. There's so many. Japan has the most, for example, Michelin restaurants in the world. And you don't even have to eat at a Michelin starred restaurant, everything's extremely good. If you're a peasant. Do you rate the Michelin star restaurants? 'Cause I know you've been to a few. I do. I do. You do? Okay. Yeah. But it's also kind of weird if you go there often and then the chef knows you rated them. So they probably think you're like one of the reviewers at this point. There's one restaurant that I really liked. And then I just don't review it 'cause I don't want them to know my thoughts. What makes a good and a bad reviewer? A bad reviewer is just like, "Oh, this place sucked or it is too expensive." 'Cause I normally only give out five stars, and I don't review restaurants I don't like. Yeah, that's the problem. I think a lot of people only review restaurants they hate, or some restaurants they really like. They can't be bothered to formulate a middle ground. Yeah, when I look at a place, and then I see maybe there's only three ratings. And then I look at the three reviewers, and this person only has two reviews. This person has 40, I look at their profile. So you don't look at just reviews. You stalk the account of the reviewer. You're like a jury analyzer you question the credibility of the jurors. Yeah, because for example, if these two reviewers have a streak or record of just giving two stars, why would I trust the review? I just don't think I have the effort to like click on someone's review. It's 'cause you don't care you just Uber eats everything. You don't even check the restaurant before you try it. The people who normally sound like the biggest dicks, other like the local experts. Yeah, yeah. They're always have like the most snobbish reviews, and every time I read them I'm like, "What the fuck happened?" Like he made it seem like. How often do you read Google reviews? If I ever go to a new place, I always look at them. I just look at the stars and I'm like, "Yeah, that looks good enough." Is that Meilyne's influence? No, I just always did that. Oh, okay. 'Cause sometimes people maybe like comment, like the best dish, or something they recommend. Oh yeah, pictures of, 'cause you don't know what to order either. Sometimes I don't really know.

Input: is going to use Mind Blur. Aw, fuck. They just disappear from your sight. Oh, cool! You watch them. They put a hand up and all of a sudden, thank you, they're gone. Ah, fuck me. Amazing. Silas! The other one is going to glance over in your direction too, after seeing what you did to the Willmaster and is going to do the same thing. So, both of them phase out of your eyesight. I can still see-- You can see him, yeah. Perfect. But yeah. I can see one of the Shrikes? No, they both vanish from your sight. They both vanished. They both focused on you. Okay. They're less worried about him as they are you at the moment. Finishing their go, Maeve, you're up. All right, I am going to Quicken a spell-- Okay. -- to do Mirror Image on myself. Mirror Image. Then-- (demonic whispers) Mirror Image. And then-- Does it seem like even if I hit with projectile spells against the Willmaster he can still Meat Shield? You don't know. Or is it just-- You don't know. I think that's actually-- I think as long as anybody's near him. I am going to-- I'm actually going to unload some Eldritch Blasts at-- Just so you're aware, you are lifted and pulled up inside the chamber. Yeah. So, he has three quarters cover from you currently. I have Spell Sniper. You do, so it doesn't even matter. Can I see the kid that's holding me? No, the angle you have down, you are unable to see the kid. The kid's behind that big rock, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Hmm. Okay. Jeez Louise. What ya doing? I will-- Okay. I'm going to do, I'm not going to do Eldritch Blast. I'm going to hit him with a Rowan of Frost in case, and see if that works. Okay, Rowan of Frost. You can roll for attack or does he use his dex? Oh, I roll for attack. Okay. Yeah, that's a natural 18 for 29. That definitely hits. Okay. Nope, Meat Shield missed on that. Okay, so he's 3d8 and he's slow now. Slowed, good to know. Which one? The Willmaster. Oh okay, gotcha, gotcha. The View-Master. Pagemaster. He's the last laser master. What does slowed mean again? Speed is halved. His speed is-- Disadvantage on stuff? He can only do one thing. His speed is reduced by 10. He can't do an action-- That's the Slow spell. Oh, okay. Yeah, the slowed status is just half speed. Gotcha. Ah. 15 frost damage. 15 frost damage, all righty. And he's got reduced speed. No worries. So that was your Quickened spell? I Quickened Mirror Image. Oh right, no, sorry, that's what it was. Okay, does that finish your turn? That finishes my turn. So I have Mirror Image up now. Okay. The youth of the Ruby Vanguard comes out and is like. (pants, grunts) and is going to go ahead and-- Can I use my reaction to try and stop that?

Input:
Sydney, I don't need to see a doctor. I don't need to see a doctor. Why would I need to see doctor? It's only a 40 degree fever. Google says I need to be 41 to go see a doctor, Sydney. Come on. Come on. I aint a pussy boy. I aint a pussy boy.
Thank you. It's true though. In Japan, people are like that, that's why, I think. From what I heard, uh, people are like, "I've got a headache. I'm going to the clinic." What? What? No, no, no. You'll be fine. I don't know. Just sleep it off. I don't know. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but then, do you ever find that sometimes you're like, I don't know if this is me thing, but sometimes I'm getting sick, I'm like, "No. Stop, body. Stop. Stop, right now."
Uh, watching. What? Did you develop Nen? I think I might have, I don't know if this is just me being stupid but I just completely ignore it. When I'm about to get sick, I'm like, "We are not sick. We will continue with our day like everything is normal."
That just sounds like copium to the max. Sometimes I feel like it works, though. I don't know. I don't know if it's just pure luck or it's, It's probably my own stupidity. Sometimes I get ill, I feel the illness coming, and then, in my mind, I feel like this is a deciding point. In my he'd I'm like, "Am I going to resign myself to being ill?, or am I going to be like, "No, I'm not ill. I'm going to continue on. I'm going to eat healthy, I'm going to do it."
I don't know. This sound like some Joe Rogan-esque shit I'm saying right now. I don't know. For small illnesses. Obviously, if you've got some kind of horrible illness, it's like, "Yeah, no- - The flu is controlled by the government. - No amount of mind power is, "Well, you know, it's like a placebo effect." This shit is completely nonsense. We are not medical professionals. - We're going to say this right now, we are not medical professionals. - This is a joke. - It's not a joke. See? I'm sorry. I inject horse urine into my veins, Joey. I don't know. When it's a tiny illness, when it's a sore throat, something like that, sometimes I feel like, how much of your mental, Mental willpower can affect it because you hear about the placebo effect affecting how you can perform in certain situations. I'm wondering, how much can that affect your likeliness to get sick?
I mean, I do feel like you're, Okay. This is going to be complete speculation bullshit. This is all anecdotal. Any medical professional would be laughing at us right now. This is completely anecdotal but I do feel like your mentality and your willingness to, I don't know, accept something, I feel like it does play some kind of conscious affect. Because you hear, You hear about stories about people who have a deadly illness and because they have the will to fight it, some people are able to fight through the illness, and some people are more inclined to give in. So I do feel, based on zero, zero fucking scientific proof, and just based on total anecdotal evidence, that there is some kind of effect that your mentality has towards illnesses, sometimes. Not every time. People, I'm not saying everyone who

Then I'm going to say yes, right? I should say yes? Borlan: Yes. Aria: Because a couple hours, that's enough time to-- Borlan: Yes. Marcus: I'd say we're probably going to be in the thick of it in the next three hours, I think. Nadia: Wait, but how long is it going to take them? We don't know. Robbie: They're ready. Marcus: But we can tell them-- Aria: We don't know. Marcus: We can tell them-- Borlan: We don't know how long it's going to take us either. Robbie: And an assault, a ground assault, too, can be-- Is it a siege on a tower? Dorian: It could take a long time. Robbie: It could take days. It could take weeks. Aria: We don't have a fuck ton of these spells, y'all. I'm using up all my spells just to talk to people. Borlan: But their assault is giving us cover, right? Robbie:

You with all your might push out from the inside of this conical, sinking space that you were in as you were playing your music. The music stops, you hold your pan flute, and just leap and arc out to the very edge of the top. As you land in the sand, glancing back where you are, you can see these large, claw-like pincers emerging from the space you're landing. Go the other way! Walk back, walk back, walk back! They begin to sink back inward and the vibration of the sand begins to stop. As the rest of you begin to gather, you hear Silas saying this. Stop. Silas, you all right? I'm going to start-- Stay where you are. I'm going to start walking towards them and doing a weird walk-- (laughter) She must have hit her head. Tap, tap. To get back to them. Like serpentine? Yeah. Okay. I've seen this movie. Confuse it. What are you doing? I'm trying to make my vibrations weird on the sand so that it doesn't... I don't know what I'm doing. Your vibes are already pretty weird. Yeah, what do you mean that it doesn't? I will say for the purposes of this, roll a stealth check for me to try and carefully maneuver across the sands in a way that you don't think will draw attention. That's all you needed in Tremors was just walk in geometric patterns. Uh-huh. 15. 15, okay. You begin to very carefully move and shift. And the rest of you watching Silas do this, what do you do? Freeze. Yeah. Hold very still. She hasn't relayed really anything. Okay. I do a spin. Oh, it's a dance. So now, you're all within visual range of each other. Probably 100 or so, 150 feet from each other. You were scattered quite a bit from being thrown from the back of the-- It wasn't so much you were thrown from the spin, more of the immediate lift upward, you all just tumbled off the back. Probably hit some of the stairs on the way out, too. That's going to hurt in the morning. But you all stand still, looking over. Silas, pretty calm. Do you all continue to gather or do you all just stand and stare at each other? Well yeah, we don't know there's a problem. Yeah. Cool. She's just doing a little dance in the desert. Elias. Uh-huh. Excitedly, you can see the shape of your friends approaching. Hey! You get close and you begin careening up the side of one of the nearby hills. I'm coming! I'm a-coming!

Input: the way, you heard a scuffle in a nearby alleyway and saw this individual, Dusk, being harried by a number of ne'er-do-wells, cutthroats that were attempting to take what was theirs. You then stepped into this alleyway and came to their aid, beating down these individuals and leaving them behind, as you made your first encounter and introduction with this character, Dusk. Now, after having a brief bit of conversation, you decided to continue to pursue the directional draw of this arcane blip. Along the way, it seems, in the southern direction of the city of Bassuras, there lay a particular tavern, referred to as A Taste of Tal'Dorei. That seemed to reside at least in the similar space of the region. Elara pulls out the little, glowy orb. Best you can tell, it still seems the general same direction it was the night before you'd been traveling. So not any major shifts in movement yet, no. I mean, we can take a quick moment, right, and just go grab a bite to eat? Everyone's got to eat. That's true. Very true. This Taste of Tal'Dorei-- I don't have to eat. Keep going. Sorry, sorry. Same place, generally, as Armand is? South side? We wouldn't be heading the opposite direction, right? You're heading in that direction. You know, those of you that know of the location, it's generally in the same direction you're traveling. He might be heading to the same place, for all we know. I mean, it sounds like a very esteemed location. Yeah, no better joint in the entirety of Bassuras. So you've been there? Yeah, I like to go and hang out occasionally, you know? It's nice when you have a local place that you can just be familiar with, and people are familiar with you. Does everyone there know your name? Are they always glad you came? I don't always know, you know? I feel like I'm learning so much about you so quickly. Do they have a dress code? Are we underdressed or overdressed? Oh, we're overdressed. Do you need a jacket? You definitely don't need a jacket. You can get stuff there from the gift shop that will let you fit in. I'm not even sure you need shoes. Clothes? Yeah! At the gift shop. Is this like the type of place where the servers dress up to look like-- Yes, it is. I feel like this is one of those things you just have to see. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah, that's true. You're absolutely right. No more about this. You'll all see it for yourselves. Let's go, yeah. All right, as long as, you know-- I don't want to put a damper on anyone's good time. I just would hate to have traveled all this way only for Treshi to get away because we're having a good time at a theme restaurant. You know what I mean? A second to rest would not be a terrible idea. I hurt in a couple different ways, and I would definitely be willing to trade that hurt for a completely different kind of hurt. Just for a quick bite at Taste of Tal'Dorei. A short rest.

(all laughing) no, it's meant to be a cheaper version. it's kinda like Japanese food in the UK. it's like I'm not expecting much. yeah. I didn't go in there expecting a good steak. it's like the same I didn't expect good steak to be in Japan because Japan doesn't really have, Japan imports most of their normal steak. yeah. in terms of like steak steak. Japan's steak isn't great. thank you. they import nearly all of their steak, that isn't like the Kobe. yeah, like Australia. Australia and America. Ireland, as well. yeah, so generally beef here is quite bad unless it's like Kobe beef but I get sick of kobe beef. we've talked about this previously. do you know what I miss? that I found is like apparently only in Europe. peppercorn sauce. oh. yes. it's this amazing steak sauce. it's like the best steak sauce I've ever had. I know peppercorns. and you only get it with soup. it's like a creamy literal peppercorn sauce. I thought it was like a universal thing because in England you have steak, you have it with peppercorn sauce, and it tastes so fucking good. and then I only realized moving out of England, even though other places in the world have like better quality meats like Japan or America, they have like the better quality meats. than a lot of the steaks you can find in the UK, but it's just- what the fuck are you going? where are you going? I'm in Brighton, there's not a great steak in Brighton honestly. there's so many good stuff you're missing out Garnt. maybe, but like the peppercorn sauce would always save that steak for me because, the two of them just tasted so good together. and like it's something that you just don't find elsewhere in the world apart from in Europe. apparently that's the only place I've found. I swear I've seen it in some restaurants in America. I don't know though. maybe I have. your steak is mid comment. I didn't properly get until I realized that, every steak here is we have salt and pepper. and I'm just like- and wasabi which I just don't think is good on steak. I think Wasabi good on steak. it depends on the cut. it depends on the fatty-

Input: are copies of portraits that you recall at a young age, so these are them in their prime. Well, this is Mama Birdie, and this is Papa Ollie. Birdie and Ollie. Birdie and Ollie! They're very wonderful, but I haven't seen them in a very, very long time. How long? Probably about... Oh, maybe 90 years. Something like that. Gideon, is that how they looked when you last saw them, or are they... It's hard to tell. Yes, but you know, this is a drawing, so they could look-- Did they look like this? Yeah, a little older. Did you do this wonderful drawing, or did they give it to you? I got it from them. They gave you a drawing of themselves to remember them? To find them? I mean, that tracks. You were that close with them? How long were you with them? How long were you in the Feywild? Do you know? Hmm. I feel like I have lived 1,000 different lifetimes in there, or maybe just one long one. Also, maybe we covered this and I missed it, where were you before? Yeah, maybe start at the top and sort of take us through. It's all-- Do you even remember? No. I don't know, time dilates weird and memory is weird, and that's why these things that I have on me, the sword, the portraits, and them, they're the only things that really feel real still. You feel real. Does she feel real? Yeah, sure. You feel real. Yeah. That's good. Can I use my Hunter's Bane to look at Dusk, knowing that she's been in the Feywild that long and just see if I notice anything about her, her clothes, her rapier, anything that sticks out as fey? Make a perception check. That I might not have picked up on before. Woo, Werther's Original dice! Shout out Cody Jacobson. Fuck! That's a one. Oh my god. Hey! It says fuck. Good as a Werther's Original. Oh, but I have advantage because-- That's true, that's true. Oh, that's cocked. It's cocked. Please be a 20. 14. 14. That's not bad. I mean, the weapon that Dusk carries definitely has a fey-centric design to it. It has a beautiful but natural design. The hilt flows. The crystals give this natural sense to it. You'd almost feel like it was pulled from the earth if you didn't see the finer details that were handcrafted. Yeah, there is a hint of fey essence to the way they present themself, design and clothing has some elements to the overall presentation and the smaller details. Cool. You know, maybe you have been gone for 100 years. Maybe we can do a little test or do a little survey to see what world events you remember, although you don't remember a lot, so maybe that's a bad idea. Do you remember being a little kid? Do you have any little kid memories? Yeah, but also I don't really process them chronologically. It's hard to remember-- You know-- Are you from the future? I totally understand. You do? It's kind of how time works, I guess, where we're from. Well, I think-- Sorry, Gideon, but I think when people from here

Input: down to an area that is similar to that lounge area, but far less in its decor and comfort. This chamber has two windowed doors on the opposite side that are cut through windows that lead into the central arena. You can smell the dust on the opposite side. The interior is outfitted with about three dozen simple stools that are scattered about, a few tables with cornucopias of fruits and meats that are set, and a few folks you see are feasting on them. There are two stationed healers of the Platinum House of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. They are the ones stationed there to prevent folks from dying and the other combatants. In one corner, there are five soldiers of the Righteous Brand, one of which is Gunther, who are in the process of taking large handfuls of food and eating and getting themselves some energy for battle. As soon as you enter, they glance over and give a bit of a nod of notification. Gunther, looking straight to you, grabs an apple of some kind, and throws it at you. "Eat. You'll need it." Thank you. Gideon: Thank you. Fiona: (whispers) He's got a crush on you, I can tell. Gwen: (whispers) Don't let him tell you what to do! Marcus: I'm in a box!

DM: It looks like amongst them there is one acting as leader, or at least is in the process of discussing tactics among the small troupe, though you can't hear exactly what he is saying. An elven man with short brown hair, and these sky blue piercing eyes who is in the process of giving orders to them. Then he walks off to the side, pulls a blade out and begins practicing. It's this very elegant, almost dance-like blade technique. On the opposite side of the room to them, all leaning against the wall, you see five dwarves and two gnomes that are all wearing black and gold variations to armor, robes. They are avoiding all social engagements and staring, mad dogging everyone else in the chamber. As soon as you enter, all their eyes shift in your direction, and they watch you as you step into the chamber. In the center of them, you see a gray haired dwarven women, weathered skin and a surly grin as you approach, gleaming these yellow teeth from beneath, who gives a bit of a squinted stare at you as you pass by. You see two battleaxes resting at the side of her belt, hanging off of her armor. Gwen: Is she her own team? DM: Then over by the doors, snacking and looking out the window into the pit before you, you see a group of six individuals in scuffed armor of green and brown with weathered armor and skin that shows experience and travel. Markings and accessories gives you a sense of inland Menagerie Coast heritage, and there you see Darrow who you had met earlier in the tournament, who's leaning out the window. He turns around as you enter and goes, "Ah, so you did indeed decide to join. Not too bad, "I'm excited to see how well you do." Gideon: Have you been in this tournament before? DM: "I have not, but I've been hearing about it. I'm excited to give it my all, as you say." Derek: What are you going to do about the flying creatures? DM: "That's a good question. I imagine that's less of my worry, and

Input: Just Weakest Link me right now. Do you want me to send you to the Astral--? It's nice. No. (sighs) You know why? It's because Cedric didn't sleep well last night, because of your dreams. Uh, I'm going to drop one Banishment. Wait, but I'm going to wait. Because I'm going to cast another Banishment, so it's going to cancel, probably. Yeah, that'll happen. Yeah. Okay, cast another Banishment. That is a charisma, right? Yeah. As he's rushing away from the creature, and Cedric's missing, that large bolt of energy that strikes out and vanishes. Furiously, you can see its eyes are growing brighter and brighter with anger. It's still looking back with one eye at the astral dreadnought, and then (rushing) it vanishes from view. watching. Where'd you send him? Where'd you send him? To the Astral Sea. To his home plane. If they're from something else, it sends them back to their home plane, yeah.

Input: What do I reduce the five to? Uh, Borlan says it was two. Aria: Okay. Borlan: Five doesn't divide by two. Well, it reduces it on the same turn, not round. Silas: What? So the first attack, it was the first one that attacked you twice with the crit, it reduced that one. It hasn't reduced the ones after that. So technically they're taking their own different rounds. Uh, watching. Gwen: Oh, I thought it was to the end of your turn. Aria: Yeah, I think. Is that what it says? Aria: Let me double check. (sighs) "Until the end of the turn." Gwen: Oh, "The turn."

All I keep thinking is our song. One-by-one, we climb until we reach the top. Two-by-two, we fall. We fall. What if, if one dies, another one has to die? What if it's a prophetic song? Gwen! Oh, because. Gwen Kaelen! Keep that to yourself. Don't say these things. Okay, so bonus action, Bait and Switch, and I slide our positions around and give you an additional, fuck, three points until the start of my next turn. It's okay. Could be 10! An additional. Three.

I am going to think: Grandma Morri, your granddaughter is in trouble. Her father is here and we have no time, and I start swinging. Okay. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Call the cavalry, call in the airdrop. I have no flanking with anybody, so. Okay. I'll hit the one next to Rowan. The one next to Rowan, which one? Sorry, that one. This one? We'll go with that.

Input: off easily, but it'll wake us up. So it'll take, between all of you, two sets of rope, I think. Okay. So you guys got that? Mm-hmm. Yes, I have some. Cool. Placed, roped and resting, you all eventually find yourselves to a night's sleep. The dreams range from nothing, but just an evening of dark comfort, to images of past experiences, fuzzy. Cedric. In the darkness, you still sense yourself sleeping, and consciously, you're like, "I'm having a hard time sleeping." The insomnia's kicked in, whether it be the nerves for the day before. uh should probably get up. And as you open your eyes, it's just darkness before you. Glancing ahead, trying to find something, you catch one little speck of light. watching A single white feather that seems to be drifting down. You're not laying on your side. You're sitting up, or at least it's drifting from an angle, but it's coming straight down from your perspective, before it comes to rest on the ground. As it hits, you see these ripples, like it hit the surface of a still, glass-like ocean. As the ripples go out... You see flashes of lightning in the distance, contained within clouds, a storm that sits on the horizon, every horizon as you look around. It's just you and the feather. The storm rolls and roars louder... and louder. What do you do? Am I in the water? You glance down and you're standing on a similar surface, though it feels hard. Doesn't seem to react to your footfalls. The ripples only came out from where the feather hit. Can I go towards the feather? Sure. You step. As you step from the place you were at-- your first footstep hits the water in front, another ripple comes out. The storms-- rage even louder with that footstep. You take another. Another ripple through the water. The storm's getting closer and closer. The feather's about four feet from you, about as many footsteps. I will keep walking towards it, and... I'll just-- I'll look around... and reach down to pick it up. Okay. With each rushing footstep, the storm gets louder and louder. As you reach towards it, there's a flash and an impact. You see this burst of energy beneath the surface of the water in front of you. Splashing water and mist spray your face, and instinctually, you pull away, the feather disturbed on the surface and then coming to rest again. You hear the thunder rolling loud around you still, and there's that strength for a moment fades, and that fear, that fear that sent you fleeing from your people, that fear that drove you westward, that same sense of being alone, inconsequential, shackled with guilt, keeps you from reaching for that feather, yet it still lies before you as the storm gets louder and louder. What do you do? I'm going to try to grab it again. Okay. Make a wisdom saving throw for me if you don't mind. With advantage? With advantage. With advantage, because technically, yeah, you do have it. Heroes' dreams. That was a one. Saving throw, saving throw. 16. 16. As you're going, and initially about to turn, that fear filling your soul, you spin around to look back towards the darkness, where you can see the storm is breaking behind you. It is more dangerous in

Input: vinegary, impact, but then the sweetness comes in afterward. It sets well, and it's strong. As you guys are walking around and keeping an eye, you do see there is another stand that has an elevated platform called Titan's Grasp. There are four soldiers of the Righteous Brand, the Empire Military, that are currently manning it. They're wearing their plate mail of silver and dark-crimson design. A large, cubed stone, two feet by two feet, is set on top of this platform with a metal bar that is wedged beneath it, that it's leaning against. The metal bar has a cylindrical center point, like a fulcrum. There is a large hammer, that one of them is currently holding to the side. As you begin to approach, you see one guy there, who's currently spitting into his hands, grabs the hammer (grunts). As he hits the metal bar, the stone goes (slight scraping) barely shifts. He sets down the hammer and everyone's like: "Yay" and he goes, "I moved it!" Steps down off the platform. They're celebrating anything these days. Kaelen! We should go play this game. I was really looking forward to looking for ridiculous meats. Not meads, but maybe we can-- Oh, meat sounds great too. Yeah, the day is young. Let's go play this game. Not play, crush this game. We get a candied apple, okay? You approach the four soldiers that are up there. One of them comes up to you, the one who has the hammer at his side after retrieving it from the last person, goes, "Hey all right, are you willing to play some Titan's Grasp, eh?" Yeah. All right, it's five silver an entry. Five silver. What's the prize? Single swing, but winner gets the current pot. Which stands at-- and he turns to one of the other guards who goes through a small bag and goes, "That's going to run about 43 gold." Okay. Yeah! I'll give five gold. Five silver, I mean. I'm so sorry. All right, one swing. You? Yes, yes, yes! One swing for you. Two swings. Two swings? Shit, okay. Take as many as you want. No one's turned it over this morning yet. All right. Can you rage at this thing when you-- That's what I was going to try. Nice. When in doubt. Who's going first? Kaelen can go first. Okay, I'll go first. I'm going to wait to give him my money because I have a feeling Kaelen might win. I'm going to wait. Oh, I like that. Your friend's got confidence in you. All right, big missy. Hands you the heavy hammer. It's not too heavy in your grasp. Come on, Kaelen! It's not very well balanced either. It's not a battle-ready hammer, it's designed for this type of a show experience. You get the sense this hammer would not be the most effective for this. It might be intentional. It's your turn, people start gathering. You're up on an elevated two foot platform there. They have the metal bar fulcrum, all set beneath the stone. Hammer's in your hands, what do you do? Okay, so I would like to rage. Ah! Just strength? This is a strength check, yeah. You have advantage while you're raging. Roll twice, take the higher, and add your strength modifier. Oof. Okay, 17.

Input: It's a roll. Please pass the rolls. Anyone know that? I heard piss. I heard piss, too. I did, too. Yeah! Please piss the rolls. I simply won't. Please piss the rolls. I've never played D&D, so it's pretty exciting to see this for the first time. Oh no, I don't have that. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah. You're going to make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 plus the spell's level. On a successful check, the spell ends. What do I do here? Okay. So it would be-- You can cast Counterspell. Yeah, but-- Sorry, I'm confused. So he's going to roll for something. Yes, he's going to make an attempt, there's nothing you can do. For sure. Then what does it have to beat? Is it my spell attack? 10 plus the spell's level, so it's going to be 15. Oh, a 15. It's the ability check. Yeah. So, you roll and add your charisma. Oh, I roll a what? You add your charisma. You roll a d20 and add your charisma. Plus-- Add my charisma. Okay. Then I don't have a reaction until I find out what that is? You can see it happening. So you're like, oh, you're casting magic. You can Counterspell it if you want. I'm flying over it. But what if it doesn't work? We'll see. We'll find out. Hiya! It bounced. That doesn't count. Hiya. Same roll. Oh my god. You got the same roll! That's impressively-- Impossible that it jumped up there and did that. Oh no, it's consistent. Yeah, dog shit. Thank god. Nine. I'm just shit at my rolls. Yeah, I fly over and I try to cast it at Darkness, and-- I'm still flying, I was like, oh damn! Oh no! I go, did he just fart? He knows how to jump to fart. Dariax is still in darkness? No, if you tried to fly high enough to be over the darkness-- No, he is. Yeah. I am. Oh, Dariax is still in the darkness, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Damn it, I knew I was going to confuse-- Oh my god. -- your stupid fucking names! We're back, baby! I hate it here! I just want to say Doriax. There's so many letters, and you didn't pick any different ones. My intent was to dispel the magic and fly over and land next to Dariax, but I'm in flight, and it's all happened, my failure happened too quickly to where I could really have a different plan. So, I'm going to try the same plan. I'm going to try to use my mind's eye and imagine where Dariax would be in the darkness based on my keen spacial awareness and drop down next to my buddy below me about 15 feet. Oh. Okay, here's what we're going to do together. You're going back into the dark? Yeah. That's love! I'm with my friend. That is love. Together.

Input: spilled some tea and then I forgot to swallow and then it was gonna spill out. So I was having a crisis. um Need some tissue? It's fine. It landed on my shirt. No, I agree though. I find that socially, in America sometimes I'm just like utterly confused. Yeah. Well, I just don't understand the person I'm talking to. They'll just say things and I'm like, "Why would you say that?" In the UK I'd never to get that. It's like there's a script almost everyone follows. Yeah. Which is kind of boring though at the same time but it's comforting. It sounds like it gets monotonous though, right? After a while. Yeah. When I go to America, it's always interesting. Like you never have a dull moment. I feel like I'm very easy to approach. And you're also an extrovert, right? Yeah, I guess so. Like for me, whenever I go back to America, Japan has like made me more of an introvert. So when I go order some food, and then the register person is like, "Huh, how are you doing? Oh, where are you from?" Like trying to small talk. I'm just like, "Please stop talking to me. I just want my burger, stop talking to me." And I start sweating, and then I hate that. But then you would love that, 'cause you know you like the chatter. I want that minimal interaction. Well 'cause for me like that kind of stranger friendliness that you get from Americans in America, I've experienced 20 plus years of that in Australia. Yeah. So it's like no different to me. It's just, "Oh, you have a funny accent." Still but Australia's so far from everything. Yeah, also everything wants to kill you. But the food is so delicious. Yeah, you were frothing over the food. So if you're saying the food's delicious, then I got to check this out. How many Google reviews did you do? Like four. Four. We didn't have that much time. How hard is it to get good internet in Austria? It's gotten a lot better in the past, since I've moved out here. Really? Okay. Like if you go to like Melbourne or Sydney, they actually have good internet speeds now. Finally, after all this time, of course they had to do it right when I fucking left the country. Honestly, I think I could really jive with the Australian culture from what I've seen. It's so far from everything. Everyone is at least a 12 hour flight minimum from you. It is but like how often are you flying out. Why do you think Australians love traveling? yeah, yeah. Exactly, right. Australians are like fucking everywhere especially in Asia. Everywhere. Can't get fucking rid of them. They're invading San Diego apparently. Huh? They're invading San Diego apparently. Really? Yeah. Why San Diego? I don't know. A few of my San Diego friends told me, they're like, "There's so many Australians here." She says after meeting one Australian. Well, when I was growing up though, I always thought America was way cooler than the UK. I just thought. That's just because you were born in the UK.

Are you trying to take Dorian with you? Yes. Okay, make-- What do we want to call this? I'm going to say this can either be perception-- I just want this to be perception. Hell yeah.

Oh right, no, sorry, that's what it was. Okay, does that finish your turn? That finishes my turn. So I have Mirror Image up now. Okay. The youth of the Ruby Vanguard comes out and is like. Um, and is going to go ahead and-- Can I use my reaction to try and stop that? Help. If you weren't holding an action to do so, probably not. Okay, so there's no reaction I can use for someone to grab something or attempt to block that or shut the door? That would be the kind of thing that you hold an action for. Unless, a reaction is just something that happens automatically in that regard. So in this instance, I'd say no. That's fair. No choice other than to kill everyone. But is going to pull you out open into the space here and-- Show of strength. He's like. You can see the light glowing in the eyes. He's going to hit you with Blight. So make a constitution saving throw for me. He's hitting me with Blight? Correct. He brought you out? Yeah. I was hoping that there'd be shit in the door, but. Ooh, that's bad. That's really bad.

Go ahead and see, make a constitution saving throw, concentration saving throw to see if you can maintain concentration on-- Yeah, you're fine. Right? Yeah, I think so. What's your total on that? Right? Plus my spellcasting modifier. You have to beat a 16. Yes, I do. Plus your constitution saving throw. Oh, my constitution is five, so that is 16. So yeah, so you're fine. You just meet it. Woo! It's going to dart back this way for the rest of his movement. Not my spellcasting modifier. Okay, that's good to know. Holding it from that way. Oh, well it's the same. So okay. This one here is going to-- Hmm. The tide seems to be turning a bit. So this one here, and this one here is going to turn around and is going to both fire crossbow bolts at you since you're up in the air. Shit. I'd say because you're unable to really move around. You're currently restrained up there. I'm Mirror Imaged, though. Correct, so they have advantage on attacks to hit you, but you roll to see if it hits watching.

Input: Give you a little intel. Yeah, not his top tier. Are you not curious? If you're not fundamintally curious, we can move on. Uh, (laughs). I am very curious about what's happening right now-- Yeah? -- but um I got nothing good. Arcana, investigation, perception, insight. It's for you. All doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo. It's for you. I mean, what I would do is try to convince her to tell me something, persuasion, maybe. But is that too active? Go ahead, no, no, I like that. Okay. Make a persuasion check to try to keep Opal, not the thing acting, but the person inside, talking. We can talk mentally? Yes, you can. Hey, buddy. (laughs) You want to tell me what's going on? Oh my fucking god. Nat one, plus 13, 14. (groaning) You want to tell me what's-- It's not nothing. It's still 14, it's high. It's still a nat one. (laughs) You want to tell me what's going on? Here's the thing, that's still a nat one. (laughs) Yeah. So Aimee-- Yeah? -- love of my life-- Mm-hmm? I would love if you would respond less as Opal who is confused-- Yeah, yeah, yeah. -- and more as the Opal that is acting right now, as that part of you leans in a little bit and addresses Dorian. I think she says, "She doesn't know." Who's she? You're she. Am I? Are you? (laughs) (laughter) (claps) I love it. Dariax's nose bleeds just a little bit. Yeah! (laughter) So does the Spider Queen, who's like, "What is happening?" (laughter) His one brain cell is working so hard. (laughter) Incredible. (laughs) Ah, boy. Fy'ra Rai, you are up. That's rough. Okay, question, this choking business, am I grappled, or that was just damage? No, no, no. It's just the feeling of whatever Opal's magic is feels like a hand around your throat. It's for vibes. Word. Okay, cool. It does not mechanically affect you. (laugh) (sigh) Lots of stuff going through my brain. Yeah, how you doing? (buzzes) (laughs) Okay, so I just had one sister--- (laughs) Aw! (claps) -- who decided that she wanted to try to kill me, somewhere between the time when I thought she was dead and discovered she was alive. But I've seen this happening with Opal over time, and I think I can shake off the-- So much of me is feeling, again, double betrayed, but I know it's not her, I just know. Over the last few weeks, I think I've been asking the Wildmother, I've been asking for the sight to give me some kind of insight as to what is going on and what is going on specifically with Opal. So before I do anything, can I go back to those two weeks and do a little check in? Ooh. Absolutely. Cool. Go ahead and give me, what do I want to call that? Let's make it either religion or insight. (laughs) Yeah, we'll do insight. Okay, no one wants a religion check. That was cocked. Well, you're going to go talk to the gods, but you don't want to use int? 25. Well, shit. (laughter)

Input: everyone's getting their materials together donning their armor to start the day, you notice, beneath Roan's undershirt, this faint red glow that just ever so carefully catches your eye at this proximity. Right across where the sternum is poking outside of the shirt. So I can see where you were looking. When we were-- in the quick hurry to get away, Loo-sien, while keeping his eyes on you, sort of did a back swipe with his scimitar and when he did, this arcane circle appeared on my chest and it burned real bad. And I only thought of it this morning because you guys have two more of those eyes. And so I just didn't know if you might know anything about that. Well, take your shirt off, I want to see it. Wait, what? Roan: Ooh! Lyra: Whoa! Roan: Ah! Lyra: The beauty! Roan: Oh, it's blinding. Gideon: I'm rolling a d4 force damage. Arthur: It's so skinny! Not anymore, bitch! So skinny. I've been lifting! It's like-- It's true! It's inverted. No! We've pumped up our reps! Everybody, this is fine. This is fine. What is it? Do you recognize the symbol? With the arcana check earlier. You do see it's very faint and just barely visible on the skin. It looks almost like scars in a circle pattern and it forms a glyph with a series of symbols carved within it. And there's a very, very faint deep reddish-purple glow. It is old hemocraft. It is a brand of some kind. You're uncertain necessarily of exactly what it does, but it remains on his chest. Well, you rolled a 27 on arcana. It is a brand. The best you can tell is it has some semblance of divination attached to it. It bears some similar marks. Fuck. Yeah. Do you think it can be dispelled? Maybe. Dispel Magic. Dispel Magic? Okay. Let me check one thing real fast. Just to check in on my own shit. Wow. You'd think I would have noticed this while changing clothes, but fairly unaware. Apparently my passive perception sucks! Is it like a sunburn? How often do you gaze at your own chest? It gets redder? I don't know about you, but every day, friend. If you could go ahead and roll a d20 and then add your intelligence modifier for me. Low roll. Intelligence modifier? Yeah. Low roll. 12. 12. You go to dispel, and there's a shimmer and it glows brighter for a second and you swear for a brief moment you feel like it's getting hotter-- and then it just subsides, remains, unchanged. It reacted to the dispel, but it did not scatter or vanish. Did you say that it has scars and things? It looks like a scar, almost, that wasn't there before, but almost like it was branded into his chest. I yell, "Don't move!" And I slap him really hard on the tit. Oh no, my nipple's hard, ow. What if Elias used her-- Oh, wait, do you have that sword anymore? I gave it-- I-- no. Oh, sorry. Kima and I did a switcheroo. Well, I guess it's just the three of us. Loo-sien disciples. We'll have to stick together, eh? Wait, can you three

And then I shouldn't have. - So that's why you don't count it as getting it ill because it's on you. It's on you. - If I just walked pass someone in the street who was ill, I don't count that as the same thing.

It seem different in my head. - I don't know about you, I count food poisoning as an illness. - Really? - I do count food poisoning as an illness. - But then again, I don't get sick often, but I think I've only ever gotten food poisoning twice in my life. - I didn't get it much till I came to Japan.
